“Xi Meng, stop concerning yourself with this matter and come back to the human realm with me.”
“Prisoner... you know everything, don’t you?”
“...That’s right.”
“Will you help her destroy the human realm?”
“No, my mission is to protect the Xi Family and the generations of Dream Soul Masters, while your task is to safeguard the human realm.”
“Then why—why do you still keep her? Siyimo cannot die—”
“Enough, Xi Meng. I will handle this matter; you don’t need to interfere.”
“Then today, either she dies or I die.”
That’s right, as long as Siyimo lives, she will never let anyone go. I cannot watch as Yin Yue and the others are put in danger.
“Xi Meng.” Yin Yue lowered his voice, with a tone I had never heard before. He was telling me that he was somewhat displeased.
“Fine, I won’t return to the human realm. I choose to stay and die with my companions at your hands.”
“You know I would never harm you.”
“Then kill Siyimo!” I shouted.
After saying that, I couldn’t help but laugh. Ha ha, what status do I have that I still can’t see clearly? Did I really think he would kill Siyimo for me?
"Alright, prisoner, come and kill me," Siyimo said with a faint smile, walking slowly to stand beside the prisoner. She whispered, "After all, this isn't the first time you've abandoned me."
"That was a misunderstanding; you should have known better by now."
"I don't care about any misunderstandings. I only remember that you have betrayed me once."
"If you want to move Xi Meng, you need to ask me first if I will give you the chance!" Mosang shouted as he charged fiercely at Siyimo.
Mosang was an ancient beast with immense Soul Energy. Besides the prisoner, he was above us all, and he and Siyimo were likely evenly matched.
Siyimo was already injured, and Mosang's powerful strike left her visibly shaken.
Prisoner, are you going to save her again, aren't you...
"Nine Charm!" Strangely, at that moment, Siyimo called out the name Nine Charm.
It was clear that both Nine Charm and Mosang were extremely precious beasts. Unfortunately, Mosang had the advantage in age; in terms of experience, tactics, and physical strength, his Soul Energy was something Nine Charm could not surpass for now.
Upon hearing Siyimo's voice, the true form of Nine Charm paused for a moment. Then it let out a roar as if it were trying to unleash all its life force. Its sharp claws scraped against the ground, leaving deep scratches.
Just when everyone thought Siyimo was calling for Nine Charm to protect herself—
"Xi Meng!"
Whose voice was that? I couldn't see anything clearly...
It felt like something was cracking open in my chest, like something was slowly leaking away.
In my blurred vision, I gradually fell to the ground. Fortunately, I landed in a soft embrace.
"I want to kill you!" The ghost's piercing voice brought me back to a sliver of consciousness.
Not far away, lying on the ground and trembling slightly in front of Siyimo, was Mosang. White Soul stood guard beside the unconscious figure of the defiant one, staring blankly at me. I lifted my head and could only see a pair of sorrowful eyes, which were quite blurry, but it should be Silver Moon.
Directly ahead, the figure that had regained its human form was Nine Charm.
Why, Nine Charm, do you really want to kill me...
Over and over again, I never expected it would end like this.
"Hahaha, she's dead, really dead now," only Siyimo murmured.
The prisoner quickly approached me and said to Silver Moon, "Give her to me."
"Dream on."
"I can save her."
"Right now, I don't believe you either."
"Do you think I'm asking for your opinion?"
"Kill me first."
...
"Bang!" Nine Charm was knocked down; it was the ghost, who was gasping for breath.
"I want to kill you! I will kill you!" the ghost shouted repeatedly.
I wanted to raise my hand to stop it, but I felt utterly powerless.
"You, how could you really lay a hand on her?" The wails of the wild ghost struck deep into my heart.
In a daze, I finally realized what was happening to me...
"Why?" The prisoner turned around and asked, suppressing his emotions.
"Are you asking me?" Siyimo laughed.
"How did you become so... malicious?"
"Haha, I've known you for so long, and today your emotions are truly abundant. I thought you would always be like a stone, devoid of feelings, warmth, or a heart! Just like back then, when that incident happened, you still had no reaction!"
"That's right, I intend to destroy everything you care about. I won't spare anyone from the Xi Family, not a single one!" Siyimo shouted wildly.
"I've said it before, this is between us; there's no need to involve others."
"Prisoner, do you dare say you haven't been affected emotionally?"
Silence, just silence...
"Siyimo, my mother—where is she..." Nine Charm's weak voice broke the tense atmosphere.
"Xi Meng, I'm sorry. I can't let go of my mother; she's my only remaining family. Once everything is arranged, I'll pay you back with my life." Nine Charm trembled as she stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "I can't die yet."
...
"What? You still remember?" Siyimo laughed.
"You promised me that you would arrange everything and return my mother to me afterward. I have done so much for you, and now it is time to settle this."
"Haha, you are really easy to deceive. Do you think I would keep that wretched woman for so many years? It is already a blessing for her to be my sister; she even looks down on it. Well, I will fulfill her wish and let her die with your short-lived father." Siyimo said calmly, occasionally laughing happily.
"You—are you lying to me?!"
"Haha, your whole family is truly pathetic." Siyimo tidied Longshun's hair and continued, "Shall I tell you one more thing?"
"She is the person you have been looking for all along."
Siyimo pointed at me with a strange smile.
Nine Charm was like a thunderbolt, emotions on the brink of collapse, trembling violently, staring at me without blinking, filled with regret and remorse...
I didn't know why, but my heart jolted and remained unsettled for a long time. It turned out that everything was like a cruel joke played by the heavens on us.
Yin Yue sensed my emotions and tightened his hold on me. I exerted all my strength to raise my hand and gently pat his arm.
My fate with Nine Charm had come to an end; in this life, I love only you.
