After Yun Che passed out, Jasmine’s body no longer appeared in an illusory state. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the blood on the corners of Yun Che’s mouth and the shocking wounds on his left arm. All the coldness and indifference in her eyes melted away like melting ice, and in its place, there was a deep complexity and confusion...
Yun Che didn’t know how long he had been unconscious. When he finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he saw Jasmine’s open eyes at a glance.
“Jasmine! Are you conscious again?!” Yun Che shouted in surprise, but his voice was a little hoarse. When he wanted to stand up, he found that his body seemed to weigh tens of millions of pounds. After losing a lot of blood and being extremely weak, he struggled several times but was unable to stand up.
“Why did you save me?” Jasmine’s voice was still weak. She glanced at the scar on Yun Che’s arm again, and immediately looked away: “Wouldn’t it be better for you if I died? At least, you don’t have to worry about the things I asked you to promise me, and you don’t have to worry about me killing you after I reshape my body!”
"Because... Jasmine saved me with her life..."
"I was trying to save myself!" Jasmine said in a louder voice.
Yun Che was slightly startled, not understanding why his words had caused such a big reaction from her. He said helplessly, “That… is also because you are my master. How can I, as a disciple, watch my master die?”
“Master?” Jasmine smiled sadly, “If I want to be reborn, I must help you gain powerful profound strength in the shortest possible time. I am unwilling to help you in vain… In the end, it is for my own good. Do you really think I am doing this for your own good?”
"I know all this." After saying these words, Jasmine did not see a trace of disappointment on Yun Che's face. Instead, she saw him smile slightly. Yun Che moved his body closer to Jasmine, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "But none of this is important. The most important reason why I desperately want to save Jasmine is because Jasmine is a very... very beautiful girl, as beautiful as an angel."
Jasmine was stunned.
"Although Jasmine has been trying hard to make herself look cold and even scary, this is the truth. Jasmine can't hide it even if she wants to. With such a beautiful girl by your side, no matter who you are, you won't want her to leave you forever, and I am the same... Isn't this a sufficient reason?"
"What kind of excuse is that..." Jasmine's lips, which had regained a little color, trembled slightly, "I have killed... so many people... Last year... on my twelfth birthday, I killed more than 1.3 million people day by day... My whole body was stained red with blood... Even my name was called 'Blood-stained Jasmine' by them..."
“!!!!” Yun Che’s heart skipped a beat… Killing more than 1.3 million people in one day! ?
Catching the deep shock that flashed across Yun Che’s face, Jasmine closed her eyes and said sadly, “How can someone like me be worthy of being called a beautiful girl… I am Jasmine… Bloodstained Jasmine… I am a terrifying devil who has killed many people…”
Yun Che stared at Jasmine for a long time... However, his eyes were not filled with shock or fear, but with a very complex emotion that no one could possibly understand. After a long while, he looked at Jasmine and slowly shook his head: "Jasmine, although I cannot understand what it feels like to kill so many people at the age of twelve, I believe that it must be very painful... It is an indescribable pain that I never want to recall. Afterwards, it will be accompanied by countless nightmares and guilt, and I may even hate and detest myself, and label myself as a devil, ruthless, and cruel to numb my soul..."
Jasmine's eyes suddenly widened and she stared at him blankly.
"But, I believe that Jasmine has always been a kind girl. The reason why she turned herself into the devil she hated the most was entirely for the sake of the people in her heart, perhaps her closest friends, or perhaps her closest family members... Such a person, no matter how many people she kills or how much blood she bleeds, can never be a real devil."
"Besides, a lovely and beautiful girl can be forgiven no matter how big her mistakes are. If you feel that you have been guilty of countless dirty sins, then I will shoulder these sins with Jasmine. Because you are my master, and as a disciple, of course I have to shoulder such things with my master."
Jasmine was completely stunned. She stared at Yun Che blankly as if she had lost her soul. Her eyes became increasingly hazy... She couldn't understand why, even though she had clearly told him about her cruel crimes, he didn't show fear or rejection... Instead, he used such gentle eyes and spoke such gentle words...
It shouldn’t be like this… I killed so many people, I’m such a scary devil, and everyone is afraid of me, and it’s impossible for anyone to like me… Why did he try so hard to save me, why did he show such a gentle look… After my mother and brother died, it’s impossible for anyone to treat me like this…
Jasmine’s eyes became increasingly hazy. Through her hazy vision, Yun Che’s face gradually transformed into the smiling face of her brother… In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. She had once vowed not to cry again, but now her tears were flowing madly and uncontrollably. A tiny gap quietly opened in her heart, which had been frozen by hatred and sin.
“…Jasmine, so you can cry too? Well, now you’re like a girl.” Yun Che laughed. He stretched out his fingers, stroked Jasmine’s face, and gently wiped away her tears.
Jasmine did not resist him. Instead, she cried even harder. She shed tears and sobbed, “I… I am your master… you… you kissed me secretly so many times just now to save me, and now… you make me cry in front of you… you can’t… bully the master like this… wuuuu… wuuuuu…”
“Yes, Master is right.” Yun Che said with a smile: “Then wait until Little Master Jasmine recovers and punish me as much as you want. Even if you want to kiss me back, I will definitely not resist.”
He was absolutely right. Jasmine's true nature was definitely not what she usually showed. Because he had very similar experiences to her, had the same aura and eyes as her, knew her heart, and knew where her heart was the most vulnerable and softest.
After crying, Jasmine gradually calmed down. Her body and soul were still weak, but the fatal danger had been basically suppressed. She stretched out her little hand and wiped away all the tears on her face with great effort. Then, she tried her best to put on her usual cold and indifferent look, but she looked away and did not look at Yun Che. Then, she said in a very cold and hard voice: "Although there is no danger now, I cannot use any profound energy for at least three months. Otherwise, even if you use all the blood in your body, you can't save me."
“I understand. From now on, I will be as careful as possible and will not let something like this happen again.” Yun Che said with a guilty look on his face.
"Eat the red bead you got... that thing might be the seed of the evil god I told you about before!"
“Ah?” Yun Che picked up the strange red bead that he had obtained in exchange for Jasmine’s near-death experience in surprise: “You said, this is… is…”
"I'm just guessing. The reason why the Flame Dragon has been staying in this place is probably because of it. When you got it before, I felt that it contained a very strange fire element, a kind of fire element that I have never seen before. You also said before that you felt something calling you, but you didn't get burned by it when you held it in your hand. So, maybe it really is one of the five evil god seeds mentioned in the memory imprint!" Jasmine said in an uncertain tone.
“Also…” Jasmine bit her lips gently from an angle where Yun Che couldn’t see: “From now on, you are not allowed to touch my face without my consent.”
After saying that, Jasmine turned into a red light and returned to the Sky Poison Pearl, leaving Yun Che speechless.
She had a cold face before, then she burst into tears, and now she has a hard face and speaks with murderous intent... The speed at which girls change their expressions is really amazing.
Yun Che's body was also very weak now. The massive blood loss had severely damaged his vitality. Now he probably even had some difficulty walking. Now, let alone the Flame Dragon, even if an ordinary profound beast came, he and Jasmine would both die here.
“If killing 1.3 million people in one day is an unforgivable sin, and you are a devil, and you are the blood-stained Jasmine… then what about me who poisoned 7.7 million people in one day, turning the entire city into a poisonous hell with corpses everywhere?” Yun Che whispered silently in his heart: “If you want to talk about the devil… I am the real devil… So, I never dared to blaspheme the angel beside me… until the day I lost him forever…”
Yun Che closed his eyes and stared in silence for a long time. Then he opened his eyes and opened his palm. He looked at the round bead in his hand that was emitting a strange red light. Thinking about Jasmine’s words, Yun Che hesitated for a short time, then made up his mind and put it directly into his mouth.
There is no discomfort when holding it, instead there is an inexplicable sense of closeness and familiarity. There is no need to worry about it being poisonous... Anyway, there won't be any bad consequences if I eat it, right?
He swallowed the scarlet bead with force into his stomach.
At that moment, he felt his Xuanmai suddenly disturbed. Before he had time to investigate the abnormal movement of Xuanmai, a ball of red light suddenly released from the surface of his body. Then, the red light turned into a raging fire and burned on the surface of his body, bathing his entire body in the red flames.
“This…what is this?”
The sudden blaze startled him, and what shocked him even more was that under such flames, his body did not feel the slightest burning sensation, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of comfort. Even his clothes were intact in the flames, as if these frightening flames were just illusory lights.
