"What...?"
"It's that serious?"
Everyone was shocked.
"Mr. Qin, the world is about to reset. Is there truly no chance?" Li Mu asked anxiously.
Qin Shou exhaled deeply and said, "Don't worry. You guys go ahead. Even if the world resets, the Heavenly Dao of the Green Snake World won't affect in the slightest.
One day, I will crush that despicable bastard!"
He clenched his teeth and fists fiercely, then his face returned to a look of frustration.
Even if I crush it, why does this still piss off!!
Li Mu and the others exchanged awkward glances, their cheeks involuntarily twitching.
Is he depressed just because he lost the fight?
Sounds a lot like it.
Li Mu coughed lightly, then respectfully said, "Mr. Qin, we'll leave now. Don't worry, we'll definitely find soone to co and rescue you..."
"Rescue ? Hahaha, I won't die! I don't need rescuing, scram... Haha... Would I die..."
Suddenly, Qin Shou burst into manic laughter, sending chills down Li Mu and the others' spines.
Oh no, he's gone crazy! Run…
Li Mu and the others quickly left as the Green Snake World entered the countdown to reset.
"Step, step, step..."
In the forest, two graceful figures slowly approached.
Bai Suzhen looked at Qin Shou with a complex and pained expression.
She knelt down and gently brushed the dried grass off Qin Shou's head with tender care.
"So your na is Qin Shou. I should've guessed you weren't Xu Xian all along."
Qin Shou's gaze was empty, as though he hadn't heard her words.
But deep down, he was fully aware.
After all, deceiving soone's feelings cos with guilt—whether it be a human or a monster.
If I don't act like a fool, how will I manage to skate through?
I'd survived the first hit, the second one hardly matters anymore. Do you think my fragile heart is really that weak?
Seeing Qin Shou in such a pitiful state, Bai Suzhen felt even worse.
"Sister, he approached you with evil intentions. Let kill... let devour him!"
Xiaoqing stord forward furiously but was stopped by Bai Suzhen.
"Xiaoqing, let it go. With Buddha's seal here, you'd only get hurt, and besides..."
The complex emotions in Bai Suzhen's eyes gradually subsided, replaced by calm acceptance.
"Besides... I don't hate him. I can feel that he harbors no malice towards us."
"In the past, I always said I wanted to experience love in the mortal world, but while I guessed the beginning... I didn't foresee the end."
While Bai Suzhen was lost in her sorrow, a familiar voice ca from behind them.
"Amitabha. Would the two of you care to hear a word from ?"
The two were startled by the sudden appearance of Fa Hai and quickly turned toward him with wary expressions.
"Fa Hai, what are you doing here? Are you still trying to capture us?" Xiaoqing snapped angrily.
Fa Hai shook his head, his face full of compassion.
"Amitabha. Ever since I lost to Mr. Qin on that day, I've spent seven days in deep reflection, imrsed in ditation upon Buddhist doctrine and the truths of the mortal world. At last, I've co to so understanding."
The Heavenly Dao of the Green Snake World had abandoned its narrative order for this round, naturally indifferent to granting Fa Hai any "demonic possession" to stir up chaos.
He approached Qin Shou, perford a deep Buddhist salute, then turned to Bai Suzhen.
"Mr. Bai, though you are a monster, your heart is heavier with affection than many humans'. In the past, I was blind and misguided, obsessed with the division between human and yokai—it was a grave mistake. I hope Mr. Bai will forgive ."
Bai Suzhen was never one to enjoy fighting. Seeing Fa Hai extend goodwill, she naturally chose not to dwell on the matter.
"You flatter , Master."
Fa Hai nodded slightly, glanced at Qin Shou, and continued, "Mr. Bai, although I don't fully know what has transpired between you all,
it is clear from Mr. Qin's actions that day, he truly wished to protect you. Without any pretense."
"I've practiced ditation for many years, and this much I am sure of."
Upon hearing this, the light in Bai Suzhen's eyes rekindled.
"Yes, as long as there's genuine love. Does it matter whether he's Xu Xian or not?
I love him—not for who he is, but simply because he is him, and that's enough for ..."
Recalling every mont from the past, Bai Suzhen felt even more certain about the feelings in her heart.
"Thank you, Master," Bai Suzhen said gratefully.
Fa Hai nodded slightly, feeling deeply gratified.
Such a feeling... how curious.
Sweeter than vanquishing demons!
But at this mont, Qin Shou just wanted to go out and beat this guy to a pulp.
I advise you to mind your own business!
The lady was already prepared to let go, damn it!
Qin Shou roared inwardly.
