As night deepened, Diefang and the others stopped Xiao Hei.

"What happened to Master? Sister Xiao Hei, what happened to Master?"

Even the usually most sensible Xiao Fangying couldn't help but tug at Xiao Hei's skirt, swaying back and forth.

Diefang dared not imagine what the meaning of her cultivation would be if her master were gone.

Everything she has belongs to her master...

Wenxin was equally panicked. How could her once incredibly powerful master have fallen into a deep sleep after returning from playing the zither, and even her beautiful face seemed to still bear traces of tears?

Xiao Hei looked at the four girls.

In a daze, their past appearances appeared before my eyes. Unconsciously, they have all grown up so much.

Finally, Haotian reluctantly bid farewell to all of them.

For a moment, Xiao Hei fell silent.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Tears even began to well up in the eyes of Diefang and the others.

It's all her fault.

If she hadn't been misled by the will of Heaven and hadn't fallen for those underhanded tricks, Haotian wouldn't have been so heartbroken.

She has made far too many mistakes in her life, but she will never forgive herself for that one.

A hint of seriousness flickered in her eyes, as if she were pondering something important. She unconsciously clenched her delicate hands, her fingers turning slightly white, as if struggling to control her emotions. Her lips were slightly pursed, and a few strands of hair on her forehead fluttered in the breeze.

"You don't need to worry about this. She will be fine. Also, if possible, this matter of playing the zither today should not be mentioned in front of her again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hei turned and went into the room.

Seal... and seal again.

She didn't consider herself a good person. She believed that dragons were naturally greedy and lustful, and that they wanted to hold onto beautiful things tightly. Selfishness was her true nature.

I absolutely cannot let Haotian leave like this; I still need to make up for the mistakes I made back then!

If the way to keep Haotian alive requires a villain, then she would be the most suitable villain!

Soon she saw Haotian lying quietly on the bed again.

She lay there quietly, like a beautiful painting. Her white hair, like silver, was scattered on the soft pillow, shimmering with a faint light.

Her face was serene and peaceful; the years had etched fine lines on her features, yet they had not diminished her beauty in the slightest. Her eyes were gently closed, as if she were asleep, revealing a profound tranquility.

The surrounding environment was exceptionally tranquil, as if time itself had stood still for her.

It's so beautiful! Xiao Hei always admitted that Haotian was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in her life. Even now, when he was sleeping peacefully, she couldn't help but want to go up and kiss him.

But... Haotian is the most handsome when he gets angry, is arrogant, is aloof, and suddenly smiles while stepping on her.

seal……

Having been obsessed with the Great Dao of Sealing for a long time, she even dared to say that she was the origin of the Great Dao of Sealing. Everyone has a past that is hard to look back on, especially a dragon with a long lifespan like her.

Life is like carrying a heavy burden, searching for one's own paradise and green grassland on a road full of thorns.

She found it.

Therefore, she no longer wanted to search so hard, and she couldn't bear to give up this warmth that felt like springtime.

Even if it goes against the other party's wishes.

Xiao Hei looked at her absentmindedly and murmured, "Haotian... my dearest friend, at least for our sake, for the sake of those who have been waiting for you, you cannot leave yet."

A dazzling light shone throughout the room...

This time, Xiao Hei will lock her memories deep within Haotian's memory.

Such selfish behavior... I'll just have to repay it with my body later.

If Haotian herself hadn't resisted, she would have wanted to erase all her unpleasant memories at this moment.

A flash of red light passed through Xiao Hei's eyes.

A crazy idea popped into her mind.

Why not just erase all of Haotian's memories and bring her back to life? Even if she loses her memories, she is still Haotian, a brand new Haotian!

Teach her many things, teach her how to eat, teach her how to control her strength, teach her about the world, teach her about the world, and let her stay by his side forever!

A crazy thought...

But Xiao Hei quickly regained consciousness.

If Chu Xinqiao hadn't noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Hei and spoken softly to bring her back to her senses...

This is the dragon nature and wildness that Xiao Hei has been suppressing for a long time.

The process of reinforcing the seal was very quick.

Xiao Hei placed her jade hand on Haotian's forehead, and her mental state stabilized again. If nothing unexpected happened, she would take a nap and wake up the next day. At that time, she would have a dazed feeling, as if she had done something, but she couldn't remember it. It wouldn't be like amnesia. She would vaguely remember some small things, just like a blurry dream.

After Xiao Hei finished explaining, she left the room.

When she opened the door, she saw four little ones standing pitifully in the yard, looking at her.

Little Black got tired and left.

The four of them rushed to the door, craning their necks to peer into the room.

Seeing their master on the bed, breathing evenly like a sleeping beauty, their unease subsided slightly.

Xiao Hei then slowly tore open a spatial rift.

We arrived at a large grassland.

The night sky was boundless, and the surrounding area was filled with tender grass, exuding a fresh fragrance.

Her memory is starting to falter, but that's okay.

She will maintain the seal herself.

No one's inner strength is truly great; everyone has a limit. When something crosses that limit, all the previous emotions will surge forth uncontrollably.

It is tragic that fate has been imposed upon all things in the world; powerless to resist, unable to face the misery.

What is vulnerable is never their consciousness or inner self, but their strength to fight against fate.

If everything went smoothly, who would want to wallow in the mud?

Little Black lay on this vast grassland, quietly... maintaining its seal.

...

Diefang and the other three kept watch outside Haotian's room all night, while Chu Xinqiao and Hanqin were inside.

They were afraid of disturbing their master if they went in, and they would worry about their master if they went back to their rooms.

The four girls lay quietly in the courtyard, leaning on each other. Suddenly, one of them awoke with a start, looking uneasy. She then glanced at Haotian's room before closing her eyes wearily again...

Chu Xinqiao inhaled the delicate fragrance in the air. Her story had only just begun; how could it end so hastily?

Hanqin felt conflicted.

She admitted that she was attracted to Haotian's appearance. If it weren't for Haotian's great strength, she might have imprisoned him long ago and made him her most beloved plaything.

Is she only after physical appearance?

So, Haotian avoiding her affections isn't necessarily a bad thing...

No matter what happens in the world, time is always slipping away. The past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future. Don't dwell on the past, and don't panic about the future. Life should be lived in the present.
