Seeing Fang Qiu's face brimming with tears, Shen He felt a pang of pain in his heart, a deep, unbearable ache...

I feel guilty and heartbroken.

In an instant, a mix of emotions welled up inside me.

She had never felt this way before...

If it weren't for his own fate of being born under the influence of the Lonely Star and the Calamity Star, Fang Qiu would never have encountered Ba Che.

If Fang Qiu hadn't been trying to cover for himself, he wouldn't have been ambushed...

It was clearly all my fault.

However, Fang Qiu felt that she was the one who had harmed her...

However, she hesitated to say the words.

She was afraid...

She was afraid...

You were born with this fate; as long as you live, you will bring danger to those around you...

Although she had already told Fang Qiu about her fate of being born under the influence of the Lonely Star and Calamity Star, judging from Fang Qiu's reaction at the time, he probably didn't believe her at all...

By staying by Fang Qiu's side, her Lonely Star and Calamity Fate were suppressed. She originally thought that she could stay by Fang Qiu's side forever.

But this time, his own cursed fate almost killed Fang Qiu...

If I told Fang Qiu that my cursed fate almost cost her her life at sea, would Fang Qiu still treat me the same way...?

After arriving in Liyue Harbor, she received so much...

For the first time, she felt the warmth of family from someone other than her mentor.

However, the more you gain, the more afraid you become of losing it.

However, she was even more afraid that she would hurt Fang Qiu again in the future because of her Lonely Star and Calamity Star fate...

She would rather give up everything she has now...

I'd rather go back to Jueyun with my master...

Chapter 504 I Won't Let You Be Alone

“Shen He…”

Fang Qiu was about to say something when Shen He interrupted her.

"That's not how it is..."

Shen He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, and the bandages wrapped around his arms were stained with blood.

"Shen He, your hand..."

Fang Qiu's expression changed slightly. She quickly reached out to support Shen He, wanting him to relax, otherwise his injuries would worsen. However, Shen He took a half step back, dodging Fang Qiu's hand.

"It's all my fault..."

Blood slowly slid down her arm, but Shen He didn't care at all. She looked at Fang Qiu, her previously blank eyes filled with self-reproach.

“If it weren’t for my destiny of being a solitary and calamity-ridden being, we would never have encountered Ba Che. If you hadn’t been protecting me, you wouldn’t have been ambushed by Ba Che and wouldn’t have fallen into the sea. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been in danger at all…”

Shen He had suppressed her emotions because of the red rope, and her speech had been completely devoid of emotional fluctuations. However, at this moment, Fang Qiu could hear a deep sense of self-blame and sadness in her tone.

Fang Qiu was about to retort when Shen He continued.

"Perhaps my father is right... I was born with this fate; as long as I live, I will bring danger to those around me..."

Shen He lowered her eyes, her body trembled, tears streamed down her cheeks, and blood dripped from her arm onto the ground.

“Shen He…”

Fang Qiu felt heartbroken seeing this.

She never expected that Shen He would blame everything on her.

"So, after returning to Liyue Harbor this time, I plan to go back to Mt. Aozang with my master. Perhaps being alone is my destiny... Fang Qiu, I'm sorry..."

As they spoke, their turbulent emotions broke through the red rope's suppression, and the power of ice caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

Her power went out of control.

Shen He's expression changed, and he was about to step back to create some distance when Fang Qiu grabbed his wrist.

A sudden chill swept over him, and frost formed on his wrists. Fang Qiu felt as if his hands were about to be frozen off.

His body couldn't help but tremble.

However, she did not let go, but instead used all her strength to hold onto Shen He's wrist tightly.

"Fang Qiu, let go quickly, or you'll get hurt."

Shen He's face turned deathly pale. She tried to control her power, but her emotions only became more turbulent.

"I won't let go."

Fang Qiu gritted her teeth and persevered, saying.

"But……"

Shen He didn't dare to use force, afraid that Fang Qiu would get hurt, so he could only let Fang Qiu hold his wrist.

"To hell with the Lonely Star Calamity! I will keep getting stronger until one day, your Lonely Star Calamity will have no effect on me! I will be so strong that even if the Rock King Emperor were to come back to life, I would not be afraid of Ba Che!"

Fang Qiu gritted her teeth, her voice trembling as she said, "I will never let you be alone."

"I……"

Shen He wanted to say something more, but Fang Qiu didn't give her a chance at all and interrupted her directly.

"You've finally integrated into human society and made friends, and I absolutely will not allow you to give up everything you have now because of me."

The powerful frost treatment covered Fang Qiu's entire arm with a layer of frost. She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and said, "Trying to escape from me? No way."

Upon hearing this, Shen He froze on the spot.

Just as Fang Qiu was somewhat insistent

As he settled in, a wave of warmth enveloped his body, and at the same time, the chill emanating from Shen He vanished completely.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind rang out.

"Fang Qiu, Shen He, what are you doing? It's too windy outside. Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Go back to the cabin and rest."

Fang Qiu turned around and saw Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun leaning against the cabin door watching them.

"Yes, I understand, True Lord."

Fang Qiu nodded, turned to look at Shen He, smiled slightly at him, released Shen He's hand, and then extended his other hand to Shen He.

Looking at Fang Qiu's face under the moonlight, Shen He subconsciously reached out his hand, but pulled it back just before touching Fang Qiu's hand, only to have it grabbed by Fang Qiu again.

"Let's go, don't keep the True Lord waiting. The True Lord can be very scary when he gets angry."

Fang Qiu whispered in Shen He's ear.

"Ah."

Looking at Qiu's pretty face under the moonlight, Shen He nodded subconsciously.

Seeing Shen He nod, Fang Qiu smiled gently, took Shen He's hand, and walked towards the cabin.

"Shen He, hurry back to your cabin and rest. Remember to change the bandages on your body."

"The True Lord of Liuyun Borrowing the Wind said calmly."

"Yes, Master."

Shen He nodded.

After saying that, she looked at Fang Qiu and said, "By the way, Fang Qiu, is your hand alright?"

"Don't worry, I am the owner of the Ice God's Eye after all. Moreover, under the True Lord's guidance, I am no longer the person I used to be. This bit of cold air can't hurt me."

Fang Qiu said with a smile.

"That's good."

Shen He originally wanted to check Fang Qiu's hands, but under the urging gaze of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, she could only turn around and walk towards her cabin.

After Shen He left, Fang Qiu's expression turned extremely ugly, and she quickly put the hand she had been holding to her mouth and breathed on it.

"You're such a stubborn child. Shen He told you to let go, so just let go. Can't you reason with her after letting go? She's not going to go back to Mount Aozo right away."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun rolled his eyes at Fang Qiu and said, "Give me your hand, Immortal."

"The True Lord's teachings are correct."

Fang Qiu extended her hand.

The next moment, his hand was grasped by True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, and his hand, which had been a little cold and painful, quickly recovered.

"Thank you, True Lord."

Fang Qiu said.

"It is I who should say thank you. I am very grateful that you said those words to Shen He."

"It is said by the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind."

“Those are my honest thoughts. Before I met Hu Tao and Shen He, I was almost always alone, so I cherish them very much.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said.

Although I used a line from Honkai Impact 3, it was only because I was so frozen at the time that I couldn't think straight and subconsciously used Kiana's line.

"However, you must not repeat the disrespectful words you just said to the Emperor."

"It is said by the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind."

"Cough cough..."

Fang Qiu coughed awkwardly and said, "In my heart, the Emperor is the strongest, so I subconsciously used him as an example."

"Alright, go back to your cabin and get some rest."

"It is said by the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind."
