A flicker of hesitation crossed Xiu Ai’s face. She bit her lip and pleaded, "Ms. Qin, can you give

more ti? Brother Heng and I have just t, I can’t bear to part..."

Qin Sisi frowned, shaking her head silently inside. Indeed, people are never satisfied. Having obtained what they desired, they tend to seek even more.

Qin Sisi calmly looked at Xiu Ai and declined her request, "I can’t grant this. This body and this love were never yours in the first place. It’s already your good fortune to have a day of happiness; one should not greed for too much."

Tears welled up in Xiu Ai’s eyes, and it took her a while to muster a weak response: "But I really can’t bear to part with Brother Heng. Why? Why do we only have such a short fate together? How cruel the Heaven can be."

Ye You whispered sothing to Qin Sisi, prompting her to nod and then explain to Xiu Ai, "Whatever happens is destined. All things in destiny have reasons; your excessive attachnt may make you miss out on more."

Xiu Ai looked puzzled, "What do you an?"

Rephrasing her words, Qin Sisi outspokenly said, "Buddha once said, ’To overco an obsession, one must let go’. Only then can you welco a new life. If you had thrown away your past pains and reincarnated sooner, perhaps you could have reunited with him in the cycle of life." Her voice clear and lodious, waking her listeners like chis on silverware.

Xiu Ai paled, surprised by the boldness of Qin Sisi’s words. But as she pondered over them, they began to make sense. Xiu Ai lowered her eyes, falling into a lengthy silence. She felt a complicated mix of emotions, feeling torn.

Just at this mont, the bedroom door opened and Song Ziheng walked out in his pajamas, inquiring in a dazed voice, "Xia Han, what are you doing?"

Caught off guard, Xiu Ai was just about to speak when she suddenly felt light, her spirit being pulled out of Xia Han’s body. At the sa ti, a dark yellow talisman paper shot out from the top of Xia Han’s head like an elusive shadow, disappearing into thin air.

Seeing Ye You’s fluid movents, a touch of admiration flashed in Qin Sisi’s eyes. She carefully took a few steps back, pressing her back against the wall. Even though she knew that Song Ziheng couldn’t see her, it was always better to be cautious.

Xia Han’s body shivered slightly, Song Ziheng quickly stepped forward to hold Xia Han’s shoulder, asking with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you alright?"

Xia Han shook her head, looking bewilderedly at Song Ziheng before scanning the surroundings, finally venturing, "Are we... at ho?"

Song Ziheng affectionately pinched Xia Han’s nose, laughing, "Of course, we’re at ho. Were you dreaming?"

Xia Han tilted her head and pondered for a while, then let out a frustrated sigh, hugging Song Ziheng’s neck in a coquettish manner, "It really feels like I’m dreaming."

Seizing the opportunity, Song Ziheng embraced Xia Han’s slender waist, a mischievous grin playing on his face, "Then do you rember what happened on our wedding night?"

Xia Han was taken aback, "Did we already have our wedding night?"

Xia Han genuinely had no mory of it, Song Ziheng, seeing the puzzled look on her face, thought she was teasing him. He leaned down and pecked her lips lightly, teasing, "What do you think, Ms. Xia? Wasn’t it you who I made love to last night?"

Despite no recollection of the previous night, Xia Han couldn’t help but blush under Song Ziheng’s provocation. She playfully punched him in the chest, feigning anger, "Stop pulling my leg, I’m not going to play along."

With that, Xia Han attempted to push Song Ziheng away, but he held her even tighter.

Right then, Xia Han looked charming with her blushing face and playful anger, Song Ziheng felt his heart stir and suggested in a low voice, "Would you like to try it again?"

"What?" Before Xia Han could react, Song Ziheng had bent over and swept her into his arms, heading quickly towards the bedroom.

Xiu Ai’s face changed; she stretched out her hand, involuntarily reaching towards Song Ziheng’s clothes. However, Song Ziheng simply walked straight through her hand, entering the bedroom.

The door was shut with a "bang," leaving sweetness on one side and loneliness on the other.

Motionless, Xiu Ai stood there like a wooden chicken.

Though it pained her, Qin Sisi forced herself to remark, "You see, in this life, he loves Xia Han and not you."

Xiu Ai trembled as she looked at her hand, acknowledging her ghostly existence for the first ti – that all her monts of joy over the past day and night were but self-deception.

Xiu Ai feebly lowered her head, a muted resignation in her voice, "You probably think I’m foolish too. With my soul intact after death, I watched my parents cry for , calling

a fool in between their sobs."

Qin Sisi felt a slight pang in her heart. She dropped her gaze in silence for a mont, and then looked at Xiu Ai seriously. A comforting smile lingered on her lips as she replied determinedly, "No, I don’t think you’re a fool. You chose your own path. I admire your sentints and courage. However, in future cycles of reincarnation, I hope you’ll consider other paths if you encounter similar situations."

"Other paths?" Xiu Ai let out a bitter laugh, "I’m about to give my Soul Power to you, will I still have a chance to choose other paths?"

Qin Sisi opened her palm towards Ye You. He extended his claws and dropped a round, golden pill in Qin Sisi’s hand.

Holding onto the golden pill with two fingers, Qin Sisi told Xiu Ai, "After I have done what I need to, your ’three souls and seven spirits’ will scatter in various places. But with the help of the Spirit Gathering Pill, your soul will regroup after a hundred years. Then, you’ll have the chance to reincarnate and be human again."

A glimr of hope flickered in Xiu Ai’s gloomy eyes, "Really? I will have the chance to see Brother Heng again?"

Qin Sisi nodded, "If there is unfinished karma between the two of you, you will et again in the cycle of reincarnation."

Looking at the gleaming Spirit Gathering Pill, Xiu Ai felt a surge of emotions, a jumble of thoughts, countless reflections upon this newfound revelation, which finally lted into a sigh.

Having swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pill, it felt like a warm thread, gradually connecting every inch of her body. Xiu Ai slowly closed her eyes, her body hovering in mid-air.

Ye You waved his Spirit Conversion Bottle into the air. The glossy bottle looked as smooth as jade, as white as snow. Xiu Ai’s red form faded gradually into a thin red mist and then transford into a minuscule wisp before being absorbed into the Spirit Conversion Bottle.

As Ye You returned the bottle, he and Qin Sisi exchanged a joyful glance.

With a smile, Qin Sisi said, "Then let’s leave."

"Okay," Ye You nodded in agreent.

Qin Sisi walked briskly towards the window on the balcony. As she passed by the bedroom, the sounds of rrint rang clearly in her ears.

Both of them stopped abruptly, exchanging an awkward glance, before quickly averting their gaze to one side.

Feeling her face heat up, Qin Sisi forced herself to keep walking towards the window. She summoned the Wings of Rainbow and leaped into the vast darkness of the night.
