Hela trembled, looking up at Fang Xiu with disbelief: "What did you say?"
Fang Xiu, who was dressed as Kimir, quietly looked at her and said in a calm tone, "I said, you are very beautiful."
Upon hearing the praise again, Hela felt no joy, but rather a barely suppressed anger: "You came all this way to find me just to mock me?!"
Driven by anger, she even lowered her hand from covering her right cheek and glared at him.
His hideous, rotting right cheek was completely exposed to the air.
"Now that you've achieved your goal, get out of here!"
Faced with the ferocious Hela, Fang Xiu not only did not leave, but took a step closer, his tall figure casting a shadow that completely obscured her.
“There’s no need to be angry. I’m just stating the facts. You are indeed very beautiful. I once met a celestial demon named Medusa, who claimed to be the most beautiful person in the world, but in my opinion, she was not even a fraction as beautiful as you.”
Because true beauty isn't about appearance, but about the heart, and I can see that you have a heart as pure as a gemstone.
At this moment, Hela's heart was in turmoil. No one had ever said such words to her in all these years. She was lonely. She disliked those ferocious and tyrannical demon gods. She longed for the peace of the human race, but she could not fit in.
For a long time, she felt like she was abandoned by the world, with no past, no memories, and no future. So she was determined to recover her memories of her past life, hoping to grasp something so that she wouldn't be helpless and alone in the world.
Fang Xiu's words touched her heart, but how could a single sentence open up a heart that had been closed off for so long?
Hela sneered, "My inner thoughts? Do you think we know each other well? We've only met a few times, and you think you can see into my heart?"
"Some people can stay together for a hundred years and still feel like new friends, but some people only need to meet once to feel like old friends."
"What do you mean?" Hela's expression remained cold; she didn't understand.
Fang Xiu did not laugh at her ignorance. Instead, he patiently explained: "This is a saying that circulates in the East. It means that some people can spend a lifetime together and still feel like they just met. They don't understand each other at all, but some people understand each other very well even when they only meet for the first time."
I saw you like this from the first time I met you. I could tell that you deeply resented the demons and longed for humanity. You always wanted to integrate into human life and enjoy that hard-won peace, rather than be as tyrannical and bloodthirsty as the demons.
Hela suddenly looked up, staring at Fang Xiu in disbelief. At that moment, something seemed to have touched the softest part of her heart.
The feelings that had been hidden for so many years were revealed in a single sentence by someone I had only met a few times. The feeling was truly indescribable. There was shock, but also a touch of comfort. It was as if from that moment on, there was one more person in the world who understood me.
Her heart... was in turmoil.
"What...what nonsense are you spouting? I am the Heavenly Demon God, I..."
Under Fang Xiuping's calm gaze, Hela's voice grew softer and softer, and trembled more and more.
"You must have suffered a lot these years," Fang Xiu's gentle voice rang in Haila's ear.
Buzz!
The feeling of being struck by something made Hela's mind go blank. She stared at Fang Xiu, her cold mask on her face had long since crumbled, her eyes were red, and crystal tears were welling up in them.
It must be said that Hela, before regaining her memories, was indeed a crybaby.
At the same time, not far behind Hela, a clone of Fang Xiu quietly appeared, drifting towards the ruins of the cabin like a ghost in its ethereal form.
Then, he instantly dispelled the ethereal form, grabbed the Reincarnation Crystal from the ruins, and disappeared without a trace.
Fang Xiu seized the opportunity with perfect precision. The moment his clone stole the Reincarnation Crystal was precisely when his main body said, "You must have suffered a lot of grievances all these years."
A single sentence pierced Hela's heart, causing her to lose her composure and completely fail to notice that the Reincarnation Crystal had been stolen.
"You don't need to hide your thoughts from me. I want to see the real you." Fang Xiu pressed his advantage, trying to get his clone far away.
"You..." Hela became unusually shy, hesitating as if she wanted to say something but couldn't: "How did you know?"
"Because I am just like you, I also despise demon gods and yearn for the peace of the human race. I know you may not believe it, but the Xuanming Domain is the best proof. I did not devour the Xuanming Domain like other demon gods. Instead, I have been protecting them."
Hela was slightly taken aback. Although she had kept herself isolated, she still knew to some extent that the Xuanming Domain had not been destroyed. Indeed, Kimir had not destroyed the Xuanming Domain.
Fang Xiu's words at this moment perfectly confirmed what he had said before.
For no apparent reason, Hela felt a surge of joy. She felt no longer alone, that there really were other beings in the world like herself, who were out of place among the other celestial demons.
I am no longer alone.
"So what brings you here today?" Hela lowered her head slightly, her shy gaze fixed on her toes, somewhat afraid to look at Fang Xiu in front of her.
Although she had lost her memory and was simple-minded, she wasn't stupid. She still understood some things about relationships. Even a fool would understand what Kimir meant when he came all this way to tell her these things.
However, Fang Xiu's next words plunged her into despair.
"I'm here to lie to you."
His once calm tone turned unusually cold and indifferent, as if he had become a completely different person.
Hela's supple body stiffened instantly, as if she had been stunned. She looked up blankly and met a pair of cold, mocking eyes.
It's like watching a clown.
What is the cruelest thing in the world?
Nothing beats melting a cold heart and then stabbing it hard!
"No doubt about it, you heard me right! I, the great Kimil, the bloodthirsty angel under Lord Michael, have come here today to deceive you, you fool!" Fang Xiu looked down at Hela with a mocking gaze.
Hela unconsciously took a half step back, and her body was almost unable to stand.
"I didn't believe it before, how could there be a Heavenly Demon God who was foolish enough to want to coexist peacefully with the human race? Today I've seen it for myself. You are a disgrace to the Heavenly Demon Gods!"
Not only are you so ugly that you make me nauseous, but your heart also disgusts me. You are completely unworthy to be a Heavenly Demon God!
Hela stared at Fang Xiu in disbelief. Just a moment ago he was so gentle, but now...
She finally felt a spark, but unexpectedly lost so completely in the end.
My heart felt as if it were being pierced by ten thousand steel needles, the pain was excruciating, and I could hardly breathe.
