The Golden Ring Snake Emperor was rather surprised. "Are you sure? In the Nine Heavens... there are quite a few people who wish you dead. Once you enter the Grand Tournament, your life will be on the line."
"Even if I stay in the Lower Realm, I'll still be plotted against. It's better to go for broke." Tan You saw the situation clearly. "At the very least, I've entered a period of stable growth, so I'll have more confidence to face the future."
"Excellent!" the Golden Ring Snake Emperor boomed with laughter. "Little Jinzi, I knew I wasn't wrong about you! Catch!"
With a forward push of his right hand, the golden Crown passed through the water mirror and came to a steady hover before Tan You. The Crown seemed to have a mind of its own. It circled her twice and bobbed up and down as if nodding, before settling securely onto her head.
Tan You shifted, unaccustomed to the feeling. The Crown wasn't as heavy as she'd imagined, but she found it strange to suddenly be wearing one.
