Mo Hao turned to Ying Luo, a thoughtful look on his face. "Hey, Lady Dragon… your big brother won't step in, sure—but what about you? Is he really okay with you jumping into this huge war between humans and demons?"
Ying Luo nodded without hesitation. "Yeah. He told me to join the battle. Said it's part of my training."
She paused for a moment, then added, "It's… a special kind of training. Even if I'm in real danger, no one will come to save me."
"In our clan, everyone has to go through this. You don't get to leave and do your own thing until the elders say you're ready." She sighed softly, like she wished things were different, but her eyes were full of determination.
Mo Hao straightened up a little, something sparking inside him. "Then I'll help you finish your training—no matter what. Once it's over, we'll fly through the stars and see the whole universe together."
Ying Luo smiled at him. "Deal."
