Sui Xin's eyes were slightly red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He thought a lot. This was just the beginning. There was still a long way to go, and there would be even more dangers in the future. Ultimately, he couldn't protect Xiyun at all times.
He began to feel afraid—afraid to face it, afraid of the future.
He didn't want this to happen again, but it had already happened twice already. The Divine Realm counted as one time, and this was just the second time. There might be even more unknowns in the future.
Despite the pain, Xi Yun slowly sat up, turned around and hugged Sui Xin in her arms, stroking his hair and speaking gently.
“Sui Xin, do you know? I used to feel so helpless and afraid of everything in life, until I met you. With you by my side, I am no longer afraid of anything, really everything, including death.”
"But is staying by your side really the right thing to do? I've struggled with that too. But then I realized, I can't live without you anymore."

“Yeah, who cares? If something really happens, we can just die together,” Sui Xin said. “It would be great to have someone to keep me company on the road.”
"Pah, pah, pah! What do you mean 'die'? I haven't lived enough yet!" Xi Yun quickly said.
Looking at Sui Xin, he said, "Believe me, we have a long future ahead of us. After all, I haven't become your bride yet."
Sui Xin smiled faintly and pulled Xi Yun into her arms. "Yes, I was overthinking it."
