These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Yes... So why do I keep reminding myself of all this when I'm afraid of nothing?

My idea of ​​going back once I'm strong enough... turns out it was just an excuse and a pretext?

Is it all just self-deception?

She stared blankly at the man on the city wall.

A huge sense of resentment welled up inside me, but it felt like my body was working against me, or perhaps this was just my true self?

So... this was my true inner demon?

They kept talking about revenge, but they clearly knew the gap in strength and the slim chance of success.

So they didn't even have the courage to try, and they didn't want to perish in their youth because of this clan's grand ambition.

This is the hypocrisy of myself...

I was cowardly, timid, and lacked even the courage to face hatred...

The darkness seemed to be swallowing everything, and the snowflakes swirled even more fiercely.

The surrounding firelight grew dimmer and dimmer, as if it were about to be extinguished completely, mirroring Bai Youwei's mood.

She stared blankly at the man.

Then he saw his parents' bodies.

No one can force you to do anything, not even hatred. It all depends on whether you want to, whether you are willing to, and absolutely not whether you can.

The boy's words suddenly came to mind.

It seems that everything was born for this moment.

In other words, if you don't want to or are afraid, you should just give up?

Be honest with your flaws.

Acknowledge your own cowardice and your inherent inability to accomplish anything.

Let those deep-seated hatreds... vanish like smoke...

Bai Youwei closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate.

The air fell silent abruptly, the howling snow blanketed the sky, and just as the world was about to plunge into darkness, a face appeared in her mind. That handsome face, always feigning maturity yet brimming with youthful energy, gazed at the sky, sighing deeply. "Humans need some convictions, to make up for past regrets, to cherish what's missed. If you give up even when facing it, it won't disappear; it will only pierce your heart like a thousand, ten thousand needles."

The girl suddenly opened her eyes.

A flame, hotter than the sun, erupted in her eyes.

The flames on the city wall, which seemed about to go out, suddenly burst into flames and even shot into the sky!

She began to walk with firm steps, step by step, toward the city wall.

Her heavy footprints were visible in the thick layer of snow.

At this moment, her face showed an indescribable determination.

"If a person can't even face hatred squarely, doesn't even have the courage to confront it... what future... what life... I want you dead, I want revenge, even if it costs me my life!!"

67. I hope you live a good life.

"Ugh...!"

A muffled sound came from inside the cave.

As Bai Youwei opened her eyes, she felt a sweet taste in her throat, and a mouthful of blood was about to spit out, but she subconsciously held it back.

Although no blood spurted from her mouth, a little still slowly seeped from the corner of her lips.

A strange red appeared on her fair cheeks.

Although she coughed up a lot of blood, the girl's face was not pale at all; on the contrary, she looked energetic as she opened her eyes.

But before she could even joyfully examine the changes in her body...

A voice came from above.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister Bai, you've finally broken through."

Bai Youwei was stunned for a moment, and only then did she seem to realize how embarrassing her posture was. She had unknowingly fallen asleep on the boy's lap, and when she opened her eyes, she could see his smiling face.

Bai Youwei's face flushed slightly, and then she struggled to get up.

He spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground, then sat cross-legged as if to regulate his breathing.

Although she did not answer Wei Tu's question, Wei Tu still took out a white pill that she had prepared and handed it over.

"This is a Qi Condensation Pill, which is most suitable for people who have just broken through to a higher realm. It helps you gather your Qi and stabilize your realm."

Bai Youwei glanced at Wei Tu hesitantly.

Wei Tu looked at her with a smile.

"Are you worried I poisoned it?"

Bai Youwei shook her head and said hesitantly, "But... why are you doing this to me?"

Wei Tu seemed to be deep in thought.

"Oh, so I've been too good to you, haven't I... That's an interesting question. Do you want me to be unkind to you?"

Bai Youwei argued, her face flushed.

"Of course not...no, I don't care if you're good to me or not..."

Then he took the Qi Condensation Pill from Wei Tu and swallowed it directly.

Then, he turned his head away awkwardly.

"Either way, thank you."

"No need to thank me, we're brothers who've been through thick and thin together."

Wei Tu smiled calmly.

Bai Youwei frowned.

"brother?!"

"Don't speak yet, stabilize your realm first."

Bai Youwei was speechless with anger, but she also knew that the most important thing at the moment was to stabilize her cultivation level.

Having just broken through to the Dragon Slayer Realm, he hasn't had time to fully appreciate the changes in his body yet; there are still many measures to be taken.

So Bai Youwei calmed herself down and began to ignore everything around her, carefully regulating her breathing.

The process seemed very long, and Bai Youwei even felt that by the time she finished doing all this, the man beside her should have already left.

His appearance seemed to be a way for him to confront his inner demons.

His appearance brought to light the problems that had been troubling me for some time, and I had to confront them even more directly.

This made her understand why she had been unable to break through to the Dragon Slayer Realm.

Confront your fears and weaknesses, and overcome them.

However, once faced with this situation, there is no turning back. Although one has advanced to the Dragon Slayer Realm, the challenges one faces have become even more real.

There is no reason left, even if there are more difficulties.

She didn't know whether to be overjoyed or frustrated.

Because it seems that some routes have been completely blocked.

The dangers of the future will have to be faced alone, right?

Oh well... this is probably destiny.

Since their fate has been determined in this way, there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Bai Youwei didn't know how much time had passed before the energy within her body finally stabilized and began to flow orderly through her meridians.

This young body seemed to be full of boundless energy and strength.

This feeling still excited Bai Youwei somewhat.

She finally let out a long sigh and opened her eyes, only to be somewhat surprised to see the white-clad boy beside her, who was looking down at something on the ground.

"You haven't left yet?"

Bai Youwei asked, somewhat surprised.

Wei Tu looked up, and a face as radiant as the stars smiled at her.

"I'm afraid you'll make another mistake."

"..."

Bai Youwei didn't know how to respond to those words. It seemed as if the other person spoke so casually that Bai Youwei couldn't tell if it was due to the man's dissolute nature or... his true feelings.

After a while, he changed the subject and started talking about other things.

What were you looking at just now?

Bai Youwei leaned closer and noticed what appeared to be words engraved on a smooth patch of ground.

Wei Tu said with a smile, "It was carved by a senior, a love story that leaves one with regret."

"A love story?"

Bai Youwei looked over suspiciously.

Wei Tu explained, "There was a senior named Qin Rao who fell in love with an outstanding woman in the sect. The two met, fell in love, and even shared life and death. However, when he was in seclusion here, this man named Qin Rao felt that he had no hope of reaching the Divine Realm, while the woman was already a fairy in the Divine Realm, a person with extraordinary talent and a promising future in everyone's eyes. He deeply felt the gap in talent and also felt that he could no longer hold this woman back, so he wrote his farewell here."

Bai Youwei looked over; the account of events was indeed as Wei Tu had described, written very clearly.

But every stroke of the character was so forceful, as if it had penetrated deep into the wood.

She couldn't help but read aloud the last sentence on the stone.

"If we hadn't met back then, I probably wouldn't be so aware of the cruelty of fate now. But if I could do it all over again, I would still wish I had met you back then."

Bai Youwei couldn't help but look up at Wei Tu beside her.
