All I want now is to become stronger, strong enough to destroy the Heaven and Earth Church. Even if I die, it doesn't matter. From the moment Wu Shi saved me, my life has been extended to avenge him.

"It's alright, Master, I know."

"I need some peace and quiet. My mind is so chaotic right now, I don't know why. I feel so scary about myself."

"I might just be a demon..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" my master shouted at me!

"Xiao Xi, you're just too tired. Listen to your master, get some sleep. We'll figure out a way to heal Wu Shi's injuries. You..."

"Master, please stop lying to me. Wu Shi is not going to wake up, is he?" I shook my head with a bitter smile.

"The ancient Taoist texts clearly state that the soul is the foundation of a person's survival. Even if the body dies, the soul can be resurrected in another body. Although it is a forbidden technique, there is still a sliver of hope."

"But once the soul is scattered, the body is just a shell, and the soul does not have the phenomenon of reverse growth."

“I know you’re afraid I’ll go crazy, but I feel like I already am.”

“I am calmer now than ever before, perhaps even more so than I have in my entire life. But Master, I am a demon who enjoys torture and killing.”

“I…I may be the only person Master has misjudged. I’m sorry. You don’t need to persuade me anymore. I will fight with all my might in this battle. Inner demons don’t matter anymore. As long as it helps me kill more people from the Heaven and Earth Church, then it will benefit me.”

I could see the tears in my master's eyes at that moment. Perhaps I really disappointed him.

I poured my heart and soul into raising this psychologically twisted monster.

My master simply sighed heavily, looking at me with a face full of heartache.

I wiped away my master's tears with my palm: "Master, don't cry, you won't cry in my heart."

Yes, when has my master ever shown such an expression? In my memory, he has never cried.

I can't think of anything that could make this man shed tears. I think there was one time when my master had that expression, when he was worried about me after I was captured by Shi Jiu.

My master and I are not related by blood, but he treated me like a daughter and always shielded me from any danger.

I really don't want my master to worry so much, but I know that I am no longer the Chen Xi I used to be.

Just as Shi Jiu said, my background is not simple.

These seemingly coincidental events are actually the most illogical.

There are no coincidences in this world. Even if there are, they are all preordained by fate.

I let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the weight on my heart grow even heavier.

I don't know how to go on from here. Right now, I should be crying my heart out, but I can't cry...

Wu Shi will be sad if he sees me crying for him, and I don't want to make him sad anymore.
