"I never ask for favors, so I'm destined to disappoint you."

Xiang Wan turned her head to look at the moon, her face full of stubbornness and determination, which made Hades glance at her sideways.

He didn't quite understand why some people weren't afraid of him, and why some would rather die than beg for help. Although he was still some distance from death, he knew that Xiang Wan was the kind of person who would rather die than ask for anything.

He should have waited a little longer, but his actions outpaced his thoughts, which was quite strange to him.

Looking at Shuiyao Town again, the mist seemed to have thinned out a bit.

"It's almost dawn."

"Well, take care."

Xiang Wan decisively dismissed him. Hades stared into her calm, unwavering eyes, then suddenly reached out and cut off a strand of Xiang Wan's hair, holding it in his palm.

"Interesting person, don't die. Otherwise, the underworld will be your eternal hell!"

The figure disappeared, and Xiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Dealing with Pluto is indeed not an easy task.

Being too intimate will make him feel uncomfortable.

Being too distant will not achieve the desired effect.

Not too close, not too far, and having to consider his feelings—it's incredibly tiring.

Fortunately, the secret of Shuiyao Town is about to be revealed.

Feng Wuyan and Leng Qingxue, don't even think about deceiving the world and stealing fame in this life!

Xiang Wan gathered his strength, leaped down the mountain, and, stepping on tree branches, arrived at the edge of Blackwater Lake.

The heavy, swirling steam continued to rise. The cries of the residents of Shuiyao Town sounded especially eerie amidst the roaring mist.

Xiang Wan took out the Eastern Pearl where Du Juan had once hidden, infused it with spiritual power, and threw it forcefully into the mist.

Wherever Dongzhu went, the fog and mist scattered. Xiang Wan, holding the exorcism sword, quickly ran into the town.
