"I'm glad you like it..." Wan Anna said somewhat forlornly, holding a stack of love letters.

Looking at her expression, Li Xiaozhi knew that she was still blaming herself.

She had been working on this complex pile of documents for over 700 days and nights, all based on just one sentence she had given.

“I have let you down all these years,” Li Xiaozhi admitted.

"..."

“If it weren’t for the fact that you’re wanted by the police, I would have given you a perfect wedding.”

"……real?!"

Wan Anna stared at him with wide eyes as if she had suddenly woken up, her fingers gripping the love letter so tightly they were piercing the paper.

"Hmm." Li Xiaozhi met her gaze, her expression ambiguous.

"You...you keep your word?!"

"Keep your word."

Upon hearing this, Wan Anna couldn't stop her tears from streaming down her face.

Li Xiaozhi gently embraced her, patting her back as if soothing a child.

"Then...can you tell me about this method?"

"Method?" Wan Anna was taken aback.

The dark clouds outside piled up in layers, completely obscuring the last faint ray of starlight.

In the blink of an eye, the entire sky darkened.

The candlelight flickered inside the room.

Even though the doors and windows were tightly shut, there seemed to be a gentle breeze.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Raindrops pattered against the windowpane, as if deliberately interrupting their intimate whispers.

"...It could absorb all of Xiao He's power, leaving behind only an empty shell with a fragmented soul..."

This is the "method" for subduing Xiao He mentioned in the document.

After a long while, Wan Anna suddenly smiled.

Her smile was even brighter than before, as if it had replaced the vanished stars.

"sure!"
