If this drags on any longer, it might really be too late. I have thought of many ways, but none can be executed, especially with Bai Li watching more and more closely. I don't want to deceive him, but there is truly no other way now.
"Ah!" I cried out in despair and fell heavily to one side.
"Xi Meng, what happened?" Bai Li rushed to my side in a panic.
What happened? I just damaged a vein in my body. I must use this pretense to gain Bai Li's sympathy; veins can heal, but time cannot wait.
"I... I fear my body is failing. Ever since the Serpent Sovereign's Soul Energy restrained me, I feel my life force growing weaker."
"How could this be? No, it can't be! The Serpent Sovereign has no intention of harming you yet!" Bai Li lifted my fallen body and leaned me against him.
"I'm sorry. If I can't stay with you any longer, please forgive me." When I said this, I was genuinely apologizing.
"No! I won't let anything happen to you. Trust me, let's go find the Serpent Sovereign."
"No need. I'm going to die sooner or later. Bai Li, can I sing you a song?"
I gently raised my hand and caressed the face of that sorrowful boy. I'm sorry, but it has to be now. In this moment of vulnerability, it's also when Dark Song can most easily control him. The effect will only be half as strong; he will wake up soon. Bai Li's own Soul Energy is too weak, so I can only hum to ensure he remains unharmed.
"Okay." Bai Li nodded obediently.
Soul Binding Melody, I don't want you to become a slave; I just want you to help me leave for a while.
The ethereal voice echoed in the hall, emanating not only dark Nether Energy but also a sense of remorse.
Throughout the entire process, Bai Li's eyes never left my face, and he wore a gentle smile as if he were listening to celestial music.
But after all, this is Dark Song, how could there be no reaction...
Seeing Bai Li's gaze gradually becoming dazed, I softly called out, "Bai Li?"
Bai Li looked at me blankly, without speaking.
"Tell me, who are you? Who am I?"
"I am Bai Li, you are the master."
"Very good. Do you remember Mossan Serpent Sovereign?"
Bai Li shook his head, looking unfamiliar.
"Open the secret chamber; I want to leave here."
Bai Li hesitated, and I couldn't help but feel suspicious. This shouldn't be happening.
At that moment, Bai Li suddenly stood up and slowly walked toward the secret chamber, turning his head with a smile, "Come with me."
Seeing that things were already more than halfway successful, I stopped overthinking. Unfortunately, even if I had been a bit more rational at that time, I would have realized how strange it was for him to smile.
Bai Li opened the secret chamber and walked to the right. I quietly followed behind him, feeling extremely nervous. Could we really get out?
"Be careful ahead," Bai Li said stiffly, then grabbed my hand. It was so dark here that I couldn't see anything; I didn't know if Bai Li could sense the way, so I could only do as he said.
We turned and stopped repeatedly until finally, Bai Li halted and stood still without moving or speaking.
"What's wrong, Bai Li?"
"Here we are."
"Is this the exit?"
"Yes."
I looked happily at the black hole in front of me; it seemed that the light here was indeed not as dim anymore. I quickened my pace, just one more step and I could leave this place.
"Wait, wait."
"Bai Li?" I turned around, looking at him in confusion. Unfortunately, I still couldn't see his expression clearly.
Bai Li fell silent again, but I could feel that his gaze never left me.
"I understand now, thank you, Bai Li. You can go back." After saying this, I stepped out.
I didn't look back, not even a moment of hesitation.
Looking at the familiar place in front of me, I ran wildly; I was almost there!
The journey through Holy Spirit Village was eerily quiet. Although it had always been desolate, it was never like this. Seeing this made me even more anxious.
"Stop! Who are you? You can't enter here." I didn't know when the guard outside Bai Residence had changed; he blocked my way.
"I am Xi Meng. I have urgent business; please inform the White Clan Leader quickly."
"The clan leader is not someone you can just see whenever you want."
"Stop wasting my time! Hurry up, or everyone will die!" I shouted. This guard was infuriatingly rigid; what time was it!
"Who is making noise here?" A gentle voice made me feel my eyes welling up with tears, ready to spill over.
I was about to speak.
"Yue, who is it?" A sweet and soft female voice rolled through the air like distant thunder.
The guard shifted aside, and the two finally saw me, who had been blocked outside.
Zhen'er quietly linked arms with Silver Moon; they looked so natural and well-matched together. Suddenly, I felt a bit awkward.
"Sister Xi Meng, you're back?" Zhen'er let go of her hand and quickly ran up to me.
"Yes."
"You have no idea how everyone has been going crazy looking for you."
"Is that so?" I glanced at Silver Moon by the door, who still showed no signs of movement. Why did he suddenly seem so unfamiliar? Not only was he standing with someone else, but it was as if he had never known me.
"Yue, look, Sister Xi Meng is back." Zhen'er seemed to sense my thoughts and walked over to pull him closer.
"You, who are you?" He then took Zhen'er's hand again.
What is happening?
Could it be that Silver Moon really doesn't recognize me anymore?
Zhen'er looked at Silver Moon with sadness in her eyes and forced a smile as she said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Nodding slightly, we walked into Bai Residence. Along the way, I stared at Silver Moon's back, feeling an inexplicable pang of bitterness.
——Outside the Ancestral Hall
"You will regret this," Mosang said hoarsely.
"Maybe she will come back."
"Hmph, that's impossible. Do you think she would come back to die after leaving?"
The young man furrowed his brows and looked toward the direction of Bai Residence.
"She promised me."
"Do as you wish, but remember what you promised me." Mosang bared his fangs, reminding him threateningly.
"I know." The young man turned coldly and walked toward the ancestral hall. Returning to the once-shared grand hall, he couldn't help but cry...
Did you know? There is another way to break the seal—by willingly sacrificing oneself to the other.
