The deal was struck. The two men reached an agreement. Qi Runzhou helped Zhang Yu carry Xu Qiubai's body out of the building complex. The entrance had been perilous, but their exit was surprisingly smooth, almost unbelievable, as if they had just experienced a fabricated disaster.
It was no wonder they felt this way; the most powerful force in the area had merged with Su Ruolan.
Feeling herself becoming stronger, with another person's memories flooding in, Su Ruolan was somewhat bewildered. Those distant memories felt like experiences she had lived through, yet they also seemed like scenes from someone else's movie. This sensation of being both inside and outside the picture was utterly disconcerting.
Qin Zhi Han had been closely observing Su Ruolan's transformation. Initially, he found her to be somewhat aloof, but after getting to know her better, he sensed a hint of warmth. Now, however, she seemed even colder. He couldn't help but feel anxious; would the Su Ruolan he liked disappear after this soul merger?
In his growing panic, he embraced Su Ruolan tightly and urgently asked, "Ruo Lan, Ruo Lan, are you still there?"
"Mm." After a long moment, Su Ruolan finally responded, opening her eyes and smiling brightly, her radiance illuminating the pale room like spring flowers.
Qin Zhi Han was mesmerized and instinctively lowered his head. This time, Su Ruolan did not reject him. As their gentle contact continued, she felt Qin Zhi Han's careful tenderness and the rising warmth within him.
This fervor was entirely different from Qi Runzhou's; it combined youthful passion with mature depth—sweet like wine and intoxicating.
When she first met Qi Runzhou at the age of nine, he was already fifteen years older than her. She admired his talent and broad-mindedness; the tale of a beautiful woman falling for a hero became a local legend.
However, she had never experienced the feeling of being able to act spoiled or depend on someone without reservation. In front of Qi Runzhou, she always played the role of a strategist, making plans for him while appearing magnanimous about his unfulfilled promises. Even when terrified, she had to be brave for his safety and sacrifice everything if necessary. He was mature; she had to maintain her elegance and composure while bearing all burdens alone. If not for her rebirth, she would have unwaveringly believed in his deep affection for her. Although she wished he would find another woman to care for him soon—despite that emotional turmoil—it certainly wasn't acceptable for him to have ambiguous relationships with others while she was still alive. It was unbearable that he married a girl younger than her by a year within three months of her death. In him, from husband to father, only selfishness was evident. Perhaps both her father and she had misjudged him; he was ambitious like any man who wished to achieve greatness as a local figure. Her father's reputation had helped him expand his connections; perhaps he did have feelings for her, but those feelings were tainted by ulterior motives. She had always admired heroes while neglecting her true emotions. Thus, although there was love—deep love—it remained unspoken and perhaps that was why their relationship ended up being so regretful.
In Qin Zhi Han's passionate kiss, Su Ruolan suddenly understood her heart; perhaps love could only flourish through mutual giving and receiving. From that moment on, Su Ruolan completely emerged from Qi Runzhou's shadow and freed herself while also allowing space for her relationship with Qin Zhi Han.
Feeling Su Ruolan's response filled Qin Zhi Han with immense joy; he became even more fervent and passionate as his heartfelt intentions reached directly into Su Ruolan's heart.
