"In the past, it didn't matter to me whether I lived or died, but after meeting you, how could I not pave the way for you."

"If, in the end, things can't be done, and it really comes to that situation, offering my head to the Great Zhao might just bring you the position of Junior Third-Grade Martial Marquis with a single hand."

"Why not walk the grand path to heaven, instead of following someone like me who's neither of Great Zhao nor a demon, living in a precarious way?"

With a serene expression that showed neither joy nor sorrow, Song Brahman Mirror lay against Jixia's chest as she spoke these words.

This made Jixia frown deeply, pressing against her lips and biting her:

"Back then, it was me who clung to you. Most of these sins are the burdens I've asked you to bear. Do you mean to say that if I'm not Song Chai Xin, I could just throw it all away, including you, and walk my own path to heaven?"

"There's no such logic in the world."

"You are mine,"

"So your sins, I will carry!"

"I'm just an ordinary person, but there's something... I understand very clearly."

"I once read a story, let me tell it to you now."

"Let me ask you: If you were an official, and killing one person could save ten, would you do it?"

Looking into Jixia's calm eyes, Song Brahman Mirror, nestling and curling up in his embrace, lifted her head slightly, hesitating:

"Of course not. If a person is without guilt, why kill them to save those ten?"

Jixia pursued further:

"What about a thousand people, ten thousand, or a million?"

Song Brahman Mirror hesitated: "This..."

But Jixia was resolute: 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Even if killing one person could save a million, I wouldn't do it."

Song Brahman Mirror was momentarily stunned: "But what if those people were the citizens of Wutong Prefecture, under your governance, wouldn't you save them?"

Jixia's face remained calm: "In its position, fulfill its responsibilities. I would stand my ground to the last moment in that position."

"But, I still wouldn't kill that one person."

"Why?"

Song Brahman Mirror was puzzled.

If it were her...

Perhaps, in such a situation, she wouldn't hesitate at all.

But at this moment——

"What if that person were you?"

Jixia smiled, gently stroking Song Brahman Mirror's snowy hair, and suddenly spoke softly.

Immediately,

Song Brahman Mirror felt her head buzzing, her eyes widening suddenly, and her heart pounding, feeling tingly and numb.

Looking at the profound-robed young man before her who lowered his head, his gaze earnest and gentle, eyes seeming to glow, breathing deeply until she felt her breath trembling.

It took a long, long time.

Before she finally rested her head on his chest, mumbling:

"Who do you think you are, talking about killing one person to save a million..."

"Are you the 'Great Demon Hunter Master'?"

"Hmph, aren't you afraid people will laugh their teeth out hearing this."

"When those Great Zhao experts come to attack, just die with me together then."

"It's not easy to come back to life."

"Don't die again."

Nuzzling her head against Jixia's chest, taking a deep breath, Song Brahman Mirror fell silent.

And Jixia clearly perceived it.

The front of his shirt was gradually becoming damp.

On the other side.

After giving her answer and finding no one cared, Yousu Yue looked at the pair with a face full of resentment.

So,

Am I just a seasoning in your 'romance'?

Not even avoiding people anymore!

Truly!

Yousu Yue stomped her feet in anger, huffily watching the oblivious couple.

Until from afar, Wutong Prefecture Venerable Zheng Zizhen, accompanied by Xie Bridge and a few others, hurriedly came to pay their respects, causing the pair to quickly tidy themselves and look this way.

They saw Zheng Zizhen's hair in disarray, constantly bustling about, unable to stop.

He had only just managed to handle a small section of the aftermath of 'Song Brahman Mirror' vanquishing the demons.

Without a moment's pause, he hurriedly approached with a simple official order engraved with 'Black Mountain,' speaking heavily to Jixia:

"Mr. Ji, I've come to understand a bit of what happened in Black Mountain City."

"Just now,"

"Guardian Chen Zhao, unable to contact you, used the message function of the 'Guardian Order' to tentatively send me a message."

"The 'Nirvana Red Mist' of Black Mountain Celestial Abyss has dissipated, and the 'Bronze Hall' has disappeared, leaving only a single Profound Black Ancient Coffin."

"And..."

"Just like before in the chaos of the Prefecture City, those Primordial Pills and True Masters that came back to life."

"From this 'Profound Black Ancient Coffin,' emerged a person, who is indeed..."

"Wutong Prefecture Venerable——Song Chai Xin!"

"At that time, together with Demon Hunting Department Chief Ye Jing, he went to investigate, just happening to meet the Sword Immortal True Master from Yunluan Mountain—Sword Master Ruan!"

"She saw that person and seemed intent on taking away the revived corpse!"

"This matter is of great significance. Xie Bridge and I have come to understand a little bit of the information, thinking that we should let you know, for you to decide!"

"Therefore, I came specifically to report!"
