Chapter 139: Gradually Growing Stronger

Jiang Zuo felt that time was truly a butcher's knife.

If it were him from over a hundred years ago, he probably would have tried to convince Xu Xiuyun to stay, telling her not to leave and that they could plot her revenge slowly.

But now, he felt that if Xu Xiuyun wanted to talk about their future together, he would likely find it troublesome, not joyful.

'Is it because I've gotten used to being alone?'

Jiang Zuo thought about it carefully and felt it was more than just that.

The real reason was that his pursuit of power had long since surpassed any desire for a female companion.

No matter how wonderful a woman might be, it could never compare to the sense of security that immense power gave him.

Perhaps if he attained near-invincible strength in the future, he might change his current way of thinking.

But as for how long that would take, Jiang Zuo couldn't say.

In just over a hundred years, he had already begun to change significantly without even realizing it.
