They all say you can't fight alone, but no one has the ability to contend with him except for her now.

Since death is inevitable anyway, her death is the least costly option. Besides, she's now inextricably linked to Demon-Slaying Island, so she won't actually die. However, Demon-Slaying Island will be sealed away forever until she reappears.

The task of restoring time and space must now be entrusted to Xuan Ming...

"Are you thinking about me?" Xuan Ming sat sideways on the windowsill, half of his body already inside the room.

"Yes," Xia Xiang nodded in reply.

"Can you promise me something?" Xia Xiang approached, sat down opposite him, and pinned him against the window frame.

Xuanming leaned back, with nowhere left to retreat, and chuckled softly.

"Did you suddenly realize I'm more handsome, so you're throwing yourself at me?"

"No," Xia Xiang moved even closer, threatening, "If you don't agree, I'll lock you up, and their plan will naturally be unable to proceed."

"I told you you couldn't learn much from Huai'an," Xuanming said helplessly, flicking her forehead.

"Tell me, and I'll do my best to fulfill your request."

"If I win but die, you must use all the energy in the scroll to restore spacetime. If I lose, you must do your best to survive and restore the other spacetimes," Xia Xiang said solemnly.

"I will not die. If I unfortunately lose, I will merge with the Demon-Slaying Island and it will have no effect on the twelve timelines."

"Okay, I promise you." Xuan Ming's expression was calm, as if she were just talking about a trivial matter.

"Thank you, and I hope you can persuade them not to do anything reckless," Xia Xiang said, putting some distance between them.

"Just a verbal thank you?" Xuan Ming raised an eyebrow and asked incredulously.

"Whatever you want, I can do it within my capabilities." Xia Xiang knew that she couldn't not sincerely thank him for doing such a big thing for her.

You are always the one I want most, but from the very first time, I never had the chance.

Xuan Ming's words were on the tip of his tongue, but he lowered his head and swallowed them back. It would be unfair to Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu, and it would also be disrespectful to her.

Let's talk about it later.

"If you don't tell me now, you might not have another chance later." Xia Xiang said innocently, completely unaware of Xuan Ming's inner thoughts.

“There will be an opportunity,” Xuanming said, gazing at the setting sun in the distance.

"As soon as possible," Xia Xiang followed his gaze.

——

"Yingxi, when did you leave the space-time rift?" After the others left, Yu Heng lingered and moved closer to Yingxi.

"Just now," Yingxi replied.

"Want to come back to the Gold Dimension with me?" Yu Heng asked, his eyes darting around. "You know... I... so... I just wanted to say, could you...?"

"Okay," Yingxi replied.

Yu Heng's eyes lit up instantly, his expression filled with surprise.

—Golden Dimension—

“You can stay here during the Gold Dimension. Xia Xiang bought this place before, and it now belongs to Demon-Slaying Island.” Yu Heng led Yingxi to the next room.

Yingxi nodded in satisfaction and began to look around the place. "Then you and her must have a very good relationship, Yuheng."

“Not good,” Yu Heng said. “She approached me on purpose, always treating me as a target. At first, she was quite patient.”

"Later, I had some misunderstandings with her brother, my good friend King Arthur, so she didn't like me very much."

Yingxi gave a listless "Oh."

"Then you should rest first, see you tomorrow," Yu Heng said casually, as if sensing the awkward atmosphere.

"Okay, goodbye." Yingxi nodded slightly and said.

"Hey, wait a minute." Yu Heng had only taken one step when he turned back.

"What is it?" Yingxi asked, puzzled.

"My name here is Wang Dadong," Yu Heng said.

"I know, see you tomorrow, Wang Dadong," Yingxi said calmly, though a hint of sadness lingered in her heart.
