Wanli Miaoxiao's smile grew even brighter, as if she had returned to the small island in the mortal world. Her pure smile bloomed only because of him, and the carefree island life was something to yearn for.

"Then let's die together, okay?" Wanli Miao's gentle voice was very pleasant, like a lullaby.

"Okay!" Xuan Minfeng smiled brightly, took Wanli Miao's hand, and said gently and affectionately, "Miao'er, if there is an afterlife, let's just be mortals, okay?"

Wanli Miao nodded and chuckled softly, "If there is an afterlife, I want to live next door to you, so we can still grow up together, childhood sweethearts. Even after we grow up, I still think marrying you is the most natural thing in the world. Even if it's just a habit and dependence, I believe you will turn that habit and dependence into an inseparable love. Perhaps I didn't understand love in the past, but if I hadn't left the island back then, and had come of age there, maybe I would have truly fallen in love with you."

Xuan Minfeng tightened his grip on her hand, raised a confident smile, and said in a magnetic and seductive voice, "Whether you love me or not, I will always be your support, I will always be by your side. Even if we grow old together and you still haven't truly fallen in love with me, I will never leave you."

"Is this a promise for the next life?" Wanli Miao looked at him amusedly, raising an eyebrow and teasingly asking, "What will you do if I fall in love with someone else in the next life?"

"No! I won't let you fall in love with anyone else!" Xuan Minfeng suddenly tightened his grip, pulling her into his arms and whispering in her ear, his voice slightly intoxicated, "I'll stick to you until you fall in love with me!"

Yu Xuan watched them quietly, a hint of envy in his eyes. To die with her would be a blessing. He had always thought that, like Xuan Minfeng, he was merely a guardian, someone to accompany and protect her, perhaps never truly in her heart, perhaps just someone she considered family. But today, he realized that Xuan Minfeng had long since entered her heart, though she hadn't noticed. This feeling was love, because when she chose to die, she wanted Xuan Minfeng by her side, not him.

The mad ancient god's concealed body gradually became a shadow, his voice filled with fury, carrying an overwhelming divine pressure as he slammed into Xuan Minfeng and Wanli Miao: "Wanli Miao, do you want to die! Do you want to die? Did you even ask for my permission?!"

Wanli Miao turned her gaze to the direction where the shadowy silhouette of the Mad Demon Ancient God had appeared, and raised a mocking sneer, saying, "Mad Demon Ancient God, do you intend to stop me even if I choose to die? Life and death are never within your control!"

Xuan Minfeng then realized that there were other people present besides Yu Xuan, Wan Li Miao, and himself.

Xuan Minfeng tried his best to suppress the terrifying aura of that divine sense pressure, so as not to let it harm Wanli Miao.

"Who are you!" Xuan Minfeng said coldly, "Hiding in the shadows, are you perhaps a coward?"

The Mad Demon Ancient God burst into wild laughter, but the laughter carried a powerful sonic impact.

Xuan Minfeng, Yu Xuan, and Wan Limiao simultaneously covered their ears, but the terrifying laughter seemed like a sharp thorn visible to the naked eye, piercing through their hands and shooting straight into their eardrums, as if it could pierce their souls, causing them to feel dazed and terrified.

Wanli Miao bit her lip hard, the pain bringing her back to her senses. A zither flew out from her water sleeves, and she played a stirring melody at top speed.

Laughter and piano music formed two visible air currents that collided with the fastest and fiercest attacks. The air currents, which were damaged by both, turned into air, but then new piano music and laughter formed new air currents that collided again and again, as if it were a protracted battle that was exhausting the body.

"Pfft!" Wanli Miao finally couldn't withstand the Mad Demon Ancient God and spat out a mouthful of blood from his heart. The blood stained the strings red, but his fingers still tried their best to play. Although the sound of the zither could no longer form an airflow impact, the long melody still traveled very far.

Wanli Miao's blood splattered onto Xuan Minfeng and Yu Xuan's faces, and the two immediately came to their senses, trying to clear their minds from the laughter of the mad ancient god.

"Miao'er!"

"cousin!"

The two exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"I'm fine." Wanli Miao forced a smile and whispered, "Brother Feng, remember our promise, in the next life you must make me fall in love with you!"

"Miao'er, what are you doing?" Xuan Minfeng felt a pang of pain in his heart and stepped forward to stop her. Even if she was going to die, he couldn't let her die in pain.

"By playing the Beast Taming Melody with the blood of the Beast Taming God Clan, even with my low cultivation level, I can still summon powerful divine beasts." Wanli Miao said, spitting out blood continuously, his face pale.

Yu Xuan was startled. He had already inquired extensively about the Beast Taming Clan and angrily said, "If you do this, you won't have a next life! Your soul will be scattered!"

"Miao'er! No, stop playing!" Xuan Minfeng shouted anxiously, trying to stop her, but the music gradually turned into red air currents that kept him out, and he could not get close to Wanli Miao.

A terrifying dragon roar echoed from the eastern horizon, and a golden, five-clawed dragon suddenly appeared.

"Help me stop the Mad Demon Ancient God!" Wanli Miao smiled as she looked at the five-clawed golden dragon.

A layer of sorrow settled in the eyes of the five-clawed golden dragon. He clearly knew that once the piece was finished, the one who had summoned him would die. He was the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan and could have ignored the music, but the Dragon Clan owed the Beast Taming God Clan a favor—a promise passed down through generations. If he heard the blood-red melody, he would have to lend a helping hand.

The five-clawed golden dragon suddenly pounced on the Mad Demon Ancient God. The two trembled in mid-air. The five-clawed golden dragon seemed to understand the hint in the music and deliberately lured the Mad Demon Ancient God away, trembling as it headed towards the direction of the dragon clan and gradually disappeared.

Wanli Miao could no longer play. She suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly onto the zither.

The barrier formed by the blood-sound disappeared, and Yu Xuan and Xuan Minfeng rushed over to help her. Xuan Minfeng was a step ahead of Yu Xuan and held her in his arms. Yu Xuan stood aside and did not try to take her away. When he called her "cousin" just now, he had already decided in his heart that from now on he would only be her cousin, and perhaps he could still do a little bit for her one last time. A resolute light flashed in his eyes.

Wanli Miao nestled weakly in Xuan Minfeng's arms. She smiled, her lips stained red with blood, like a blood-red azalea blooming in an instant, captivating yet tragically beautiful.

"Brother Feng, although I really wanted to die with you, in the end, I still didn't want you to die with me. I don't know why." Wanli Miao's eyes gradually lost focus, and she said in a low, hoarse voice, "Is this feeling... love?"

A mournful dragon roar shook the heavens. Wanli Miao's heart tightened, and she mustered her last breath: "The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is exhausted! You must leave here quickly! Brother Feng, as long as you return to the Xuan family, even the Mad Demon Ancient God can't do anything to you! Cousin, find a place to break through to the Demon Ancient God realm; he can't do anything to you then either. You all must live well!"

"Trying to leave! Do you think you can make it in time?" a furious voice rang out.

The Mad Demon Ancient God appeared in mid-air, his entire body covered in blood, clearly indicating that his battle with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had been a fierce one.

Yu Xuan gave a wry smile and looked at Xuan Minfeng, saying, "It seems the two of us will have to join forces."

Xuan Minfeng stood up, his gaze icy as he looked at the Mad Demon Ancient God, and said in a low voice, "If we join forces, what are our chances of defeating him?"

Yu Xuan frowned and said with a wry smile, "Thirty percent."

Xuan Minfeng frowned and said in a low voice, "Mutual destruction, how likely is it?"

Yu Xuan said with frustration, "If I could recover in a day, the chances of success would be very high. Right now, my strength is limited. If we join forces to take him down with us, I'm afraid we only have a 50% chance."

"Fifty percent is enough!" Xuan Minfeng gently wiped away the blood from Wanli Miao's lips, his voice gentle yet hoarse as he said, "Miao'er, you must hold on, wait for me to die together."

Wanli Miao stared intently at him, intending to let them leave, but even though she had summoned the five-clawed golden dragon with her life, she still couldn't delay them for long; they couldn't escape this calamity. She closed her eyes, feeling somewhat weary, and said with a sorrowful smile, "Things have come to this, and I can only wait for you now. You must hurry; I don't know how long I can wait. If I leave early, you must catch up. If you can't, I'll be angry."

Hyun Min-pung suddenly leaned down and kissed her forehead, nodding earnestly, "I'll be there soon!"

He turned and flew up alongside Yu Xuan, a tornado formed by a whirlwind appearing in his hand. The three figures entangled in mid-air. Wan Li Miao's gaze gradually blurred. She tried to see them clearly, but she could not focus. She bit her lower lip hard, but this time, the pain could not make her clear-headed. She closed her eyes weakly, trying to hold on to her breath, wanting to know the result.

In a daze, he was suddenly lifted up by a powerful suction force. Wanli Miao tried to open his eyes, but his tired eyes could not lift. However, as he approached the person and smelled that disgusting odor, he instantly realized that he had fallen into the hands of the Mad Demon Ancient God.

Had something happened to them? She felt uneasy.

The cruel laughter of the ancient, mad god echoed in his ears: "What I cannot have, no one else can have!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wanli Miao felt a strong push that sent her to another spot. The strong wind whistled past her ears, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Miao'er!" Xuan Minfeng's voice gradually drew closer.

Although Wanli Miao couldn't open her eyes, she knew he had arrived!

She instinctively reached out to grab him, but her hand wouldn't lift. A sudden, bone-chilling cold enveloped her, plunging her into icy confinement, freezing her thoughts in an instant.

"Miao'er!" His call was accompanied by the sound of something falling into the water.

So cold, so cold...

She even felt her soul had been frozen, because her soul had been gradually dissipating as she played the beast-taming music during the blood sacrifice, but now she felt her soul freeze instantly, as if trapped in ice.

Han Wuxie suddenly opened his eyes, and a tear slid down from the corner of his eye.

Is this the life of Wan Li Miao?

I still vividly remember the bone-chilling cold of finally sinking into the icy pool. After that, I lost consciousness. Was that death?

She turned to look at Hua Qianye, who was holding her tightly, and seemed to see two souls who deeply loved her deep in the depths of his dark blue eyes.

Although Xuan Minfeng said he might not love Wan Li Miao, it was because he didn't understand love at all. He was able to jump into the icy pool regardless of his life and death. His call accompanied the sound of the icy pool water. She knew that he loved her at that time. If he didn't love her, why would he follow her without regard for anything?

Hua Qianye let out a long sigh, raised a beautiful smile, and said with a hint of sorrow in her voice, "I'm really afraid to see you fall in love with Yuxuan."

Yu Xuan? Han Wuxie recalled Yu Xuan and asked with some doubt, "What happened after Wanli Miao died?"

Hua Qianye sighed bitterly and replied, "Xuan Minfeng chased you into the cold pool and later lost consciousness, thinking that he would die with you. But an old man appeared and saved him. He begged the old man to save you, but the old man told him that because you used blood to perform the Beast Taming Melody, you could not be saved. Fortunately, he managed to retrieve a wisp of your soul, so you still have a chance to be reincarnated."

"An old man? Who is he?" Han Wuxie frowned slightly.

Hua Qianye sighed, "I don't know his exact identity, but he must be the strongest in this world. Xuan Minfeng originally wanted to die, to follow you in death as promised. But the old man told him that he could let his soul find you. If he were to reincarnate with you, he wouldn't be able to protect you at all, and it would be just like in the mortal realm, where neither of them would have control over their own destiny. Because he died through blood sacrifice, his reincarnation would inevitably be difficult, so appearing by your side as his soul to protect you was the best decision. So Xuan Minfeng lingered on, placing his soul in a ring and having someone send the ring to the immortal realm, waiting for your appearance."

"So your appearance was just waiting for me?" Han Wuxie's eyes were slightly moist as she recalled their first encounter in the back mountain. He was so wicked, deliberately undressing to scare her, and always talking about a deal, so unethical.

"Yes, I've been waiting for you!" Hua Qianye hugged his hand tighter.

Nestled in his arms, she seemed oblivious to the cold of the pool, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"What are you laughing at?" Hua Qianye leaned down and lightly pecked her lips, as if he couldn't get enough of kissing her, and then lightly pecked her again.

Han Wuxie pursed his lips, a hint of resentment in his voice, "You were so mean back then! Always bullying me! If I'd known you were there just to wait for me, I definitely wouldn't have spoken to you!"

Hua Qianye recalled how strict he had always been with her in the past, but it was all to help her become stronger first. He said innocently, "If I'm too good to you, you'll become too dependent on me. How can you become stronger on your own then?"

Han Wuxie buried her head in his chest, pouted and said, "It's precisely because I know you're doing this for my own good that I'm not going to hold it against you."

Hua Qianye said with some regret, "Xuan Minfeng inquired about Yu Xuan and the Mad Demon Ancient God, but the Demon God Realm is sealed off, and there are no people of his in the Demon God Realm, so it is impossible to know about what happened back then."

Han Wuxie's eyes flickered slightly, as if a hint of hatred flashed across them, then his gaze became complicated, and he remained silent for a long time.

Hua Qianye leaned close to her ear, his voice slightly intoxicated, and asked, "If you were to encounter Yu Xuan again, what would you do?"

Han Wuxie was taken aback. What would happen if he encountered Yu Xuan again? He really hadn't thought about that!

"Let nature take its course! After all, he's my cousin, I can't treat him like a stranger. I really hope he's doing well." Han Wuxie smiled calmly, but his eyes held a complex emotion.

Hua Qianye suddenly opened his mouth and lightly bit her earlobe, his voice filled with annoyance as he said, "No! He's not my cousin!"

Han Wuxie pushed him away forcefully, covered her ears, and complained, "What's wrong with you!"

Hua Qianye gritted her teeth, her gaze burning, and said domineeringly, "You are Han Wuxie, not Wanlimiao! Even if you meet him again, you are not allowed to call him cousin!"

"Uh!" Han Wuxie was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh, "I forgot! I'm Han Wuxie now, not Wanlimiao. I've gotten confused by these memories! Even if I meet Yuxuan, he won't recognize me!"

"Of course I don't know him! I hope he never runs into you again!" Hua Qianye's face was sour, like a domineering child throwing a tantrum.

Han Wuxie looked up at his pouting and sulking expression and couldn't help but laugh. She subconsciously reached out and pinched his cheek hard. Only then did she realize that this guy's skin was really good! It felt like tofu!

Seemingly addicted to kneading, another hand climbed up his face, and both hands worked at the same time, kneading with great enthusiasm!

Han Wuxie's smile brightened, while Hua Qianye's face remained sour. He didn't resist her pinching him, letting her treat him like a toy and pinch him as she pleased. He just glared at her, clearly in a bad mood.

Seeing Hua Qianye's sulky expression, Han Wuxie found it increasingly amusing and couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Hua Qianye, you're just like a grumpy, bad-tempered child!"

"It's all because of you!" Hua Qianye glanced at him sideways, but still let him pinch her cheeks. The itchy feeling on her face was actually not bad.

Seeing him resignedly being pinched, Han Wuxie mischievously increased the pressure, squeezing his face until it turned red before releasing her grip. She stroked his chin, a wicked smile playing on her lips, like a spoiled young master teasing an innocent girl, and flirtatiously asked, "Your blush is nice. Where did you buy the rouge?"

Seeing her mischievous grin, Hua Qianye's lips twitched involuntarily. He walked to the edge of the cold pool, where his reddened face was reflected. He felt a surge of frustration and looked at Han Wuxie with a mournful expression, sighing bitterly, "You naughty girl! You've always known how to torment me since we were little!"

"Torture you?" Han Wuxie blinked, her bright eyes showing innocence and confusion, like a naive girl, pouting with a hint of resentment at being wronged.

Seeing her adorable feigned ignorance, Hua Qianye couldn't help but swallow hard. His deep blue eyes seemed to be tinged with flames, and he felt a dryness in his mouth. He took a deep breath and exhaled, finally calming down the urge to immediately transform into a 'wolf'.

He sighed softly, "What a troublesome little devil!"

Han Wuxie, oblivious to the danger, leaned forward and asked疑惑地问道, "What did you just say?"

She suddenly approached, carrying the delicate fragrance of snow. The scent filled his nostrils, making his gaze burn. He abruptly pulled her into his arms, leaned down, and kissed her lips tightly, inhaling her fragrance deeply. His tongue greedily traced the beautiful curve of her lips, licking the sweetness in her mouth. His tongue lingered and lingered, the aftertaste long and lingering. He sucked hard, as if he could never tire of it.
