"Their lives matter, too." Su Yaoyao didn't back down. She looked at Pani with a determined gaze and enunciated every word.
'Every life is precious,' she thought. 'You can't just take away their right to exist simply because you're on opposing sides.'
"His Majesty the Emperor's priority is to ensure your safety," Pani said, seeing he had no other choice but to reveal the Emperor's thoughts, hoping it would persuade Su Yaoyao. "If you return safely and plead your case, he might consider sparing Snake Scale City."
It was the only way. Only by returning could Su Yaoyao secure a chance of survival for the people of Snake Scale City.
"His Majesty?" Su Yaoyao looked at Pani, her eyes filled with confusion.
She knew very little about the Emperor. At a life-and-death moment like this, she found it hard to believe he would simply spare Snake Scale City.
Pani pursed his lips. He knew His Majesty hadn't told Su Yaoyao his identity, but he couldn't worry about that anymore.
