"You used to be able to sneak out and play all the time, so why would you die if you went back now?" Zu An asked in surprise.
“It’s different,” Jing Teng shook his head. “My sister and I left one after another, and the divine talisman was already severely damaged. In addition, we lost some of our memories after we left the Great Tomb. Later, I had an accident and was delayed for several decades. I didn’t come back in time. Now the divine talisman has suffered irreversible damage and could be destroyed at any time. I can only use my own essence to repair the damage to the divine talisman.”
Seeing Zuan's anxious expression, Jing Teng gently stroked his cheek: "There's no need to persuade me. This is my destined mission and my responsibility. Besides, I'm already very happy to be with you before this."
Zuan couldn't help but point at the Ghost King beside him: "You are of the same origin, why doesn't she care about this? Should good people suffer losses and be bullied?"
The Ghost King raised an eyebrow: "What, you're not convinced?"
Zuan was furious, but Jing Teng grabbed his hand: "Don't be angry. This is my own choice and has nothing to do with anyone else. It's just a pity that I can't stay with you forever."
Zuan suddenly spoke up: "If we let her come along, would you not have to destroy her mind?"
The Ghost King's expression changed: "You brat, what do you want to do?"
Although she was stronger than him, the boy's various skills were so numerous that she was a little scared. If he tried to take her down with him, she would be at a huge loss.
Zuan ignored her and looked nervously at Jing Teng, waiting for her answer.
Jing Teng shook his head slightly: "The Demon-Suppressing Talisman is too badly damaged. Even with her, we would all perish. However, if she were with us, the Demon-Suppressing Talisman should be able to be completely restored. If I were alone, the talisman might be fine for a short time, but after a long period of time, it would eventually have problems."
The Ghost King shouted, "That's right, since you can save them all by yourself, why drag me down with you to my death?"
Jing Teng looked at him quietly: "I can go by myself this time, but I hope that one day when you are tired of playing, you can come back and protect this great formation together."
The Ghost King scoffed, "Don't worry, I'm a very playful person. The human world is so interesting, how could I possibly get tired of playing?"
"Then can you promise me that you won't hurt Brother Zu, or those girls upstairs?" Jing Teng stared into her eyes.
The Ghost King originally wanted to refuse with pride, but then he thought, since she had already sacrificed herself for him, if he didn't agree to this, it would be dangerous if he pushed her too far and she ended up fighting to the death.
"Fine, for your sake, I won't bother with them."
Jing Teng breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face. It seemed that his younger sister wasn't entirely hopeless after all.
Then she lost interest in paying attention to the Ghost King and instead whispered sweet nothings to Zu'an, cherishing every remaining second.
The Ghost King grew somewhat irritated and couldn't help but say, "No wonder you, who are usually so reserved, were so eager to offer yourself up just now, even going so far as to have sex in the wild here. It turns out you knew you were going to die."
Jing Teng blushed and ignored her.
After several unsuccessful attempts to provoke him, the Ghost King turned his attention to Zu An: "You brat, from what I've seen so far, you don't seem to be from this world. On one side is the woman you love, and on the other are some strangers. What would you choose?"
Zuan fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.
The Ghost King, however, was somewhat smug: "If it's about choosing the woman you love, then it's pretty much the same as my path. I only care about the people I care about, and I don't care about anything else, no matter how big the flood is."
"As for sacrificing your beloved woman for people you don't even know, it may seem noble to many, but in my opinion, it's utterly hypocritical, and you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life."
"And it also proves that my silly sister has entrusted herself to the wrong person, always choosing a scumbag."
Jing Teng’s firm voice came: “I don’t think so. I will not blame him for his choice. On the contrary, I will be very pleased because it is in line with my path. This is my mission and my destined ending.”
"Is our destined end to be annihilation, to become nothing more than emotionless demon-suppressing talismans, and to spend endless years here?" the Ghost King said coldly. "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. I'd rather not have such a destiny!"
"Well said!"
"What spirit, young lady!"
“Even among us, you are a great hero.”
"Why not just break this seal and conquer all the worlds together? Wouldn't that be much more interesting than what we're doing now, experiencing the joys and sorrows of life?"
...
A chilling wind blew in gusts, carrying with it countless low murmurs.
Jing Teng's expression changed. She could tell that it was the voice of some demons. She hadn't expected that some of them had already awakened and were able to transmit their divine senses here.
It is evident that the seal on this great tomb is nearing collapse and can no longer suppress certain entities.
The Ghost King's expression shifted between light and dark, and she seemed somewhat persuaded.
At this moment, Jing Teng no longer hesitated and walked up to the Ghost King: "Sister, remember what you just promised me."
The Ghost King snorted: "Enough with the fuss. I'm not usually a man of my word, but since I promised you this time, I won't go back on my word."
"That's good..." Jing Teng was preoccupied.
Now the Ghost King was a little uncomfortable. After all, the two were twin sisters. Seeing that Zu'an was still standing there in a daze, he said, "Are you even a man? Your woman is about to sacrifice herself to save the world, and you're just standing there like a quail."
Just as Zu An was about to say something, Jing Teng interrupted, "I have no regrets about having had a relationship with Brother Zu. There's no need to say anything more. As long as we can live in each other's hearts, it's not really like we're dead."
