"It's my fault for being too cowardly, for being mindful of seniority and status, and for not having the courage to tell you my true feelings... I even caused you to die unjustly, I'm so sorry..." Xuan Qing'er kept wiping away her tears, but the tears just kept flowing and wouldn't stop!
After crying for a long time, Xuan Qing'er had no strength left. She slowly stood up, looked at the lake with a resolute expression, and said, "You died because of me, so why should I live on? Yin Yang, I know you're afraid of loneliness. It's okay, I'll come and keep you company..."
With that, Xuan Qing'er walked towards the lake.
Just as she was about to step into the lake, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind her, "I just rescued you, can't you let me catch my breath before jumping in?"
Xuan Qing'er was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw Yin Yang, soaking wet, leaning against a tree trunk and half-lying down.
Yin Yang's face was deathly pale. She held Xuan Qing'er's sword in her hand and said weakly, "Or... why don't you just kill me with your sword... I'm almost exhausted from all this..."
Xuan Qing'er stared blankly at Yin Yang. The latter, with his gentle, watery gaze, looked at Xuan Qing'er and smiled slightly. He softly asked, "By the way... just now... can I take what you said as—a confession to me...?"
Xuan Qing'er blushed slightly, lowered her head, and whispered, "You, if you say so, then it is..."
Yin Yang chuckled softly, looked up at the moonlight behind Xuan Qing'er, and murmured to himself, "A full moon, the moonlight tonight is truly beautiful..."
Xuan Qing'er turned her head and followed her gaze. The moonlight, like a veil, gave the world a hazy beauty. At this moment, Xuan Qing'er realized that the lake was beautiful and not scary at all!
Xuan Qing'er pursed her lips; the scent of lotus flowers seemed to linger on them...
"Then... then Yin Yang, what is your answer?" Xuan Qing'er asked hesitantly, her back to Yin Yang.
There was no response from behind for a long time, and Xuan Qing'er became a little nervous, clinging to her last hope:
"Yin Yang, to be honest, you've been so good to me, do you also have feelings for me? Otherwise, you wouldn't always be so considerate of me, let me be willful, and even make me your older sister..."
There was no sound coming from behind her for a long time. Xuan Qing'er suddenly sensed something was wrong and turned around to see Yin Yang slumped on the ground, a silver liquid flowing from the corner of her mouth, like silver blood.
"Yin Yang!" Xuan Qing'er rushed forward to help Yin Yang up, shaking her and asking anxiously, "Yin Yang, what's wrong?"
The moment he touched her body, Xuan Qing'er froze on the spot, her body as cold and stiff as if she had touched a stone!
"Yin... Yin and Yang?"
Xuan Qing'er watched as Yin Yang's beautiful, fair face visibly dimmed and lost its luster, while silvery blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, landing cold and sticky on the back of Xuan Qing'er's hand.
Xuan Qing'er was terrified and instinctively dodged away, wiping away the silvery blood with disgust, staring at Yin Yang in astonishment. "Yin Yang..."
Yin Yang's eyelashes twitched slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her once dark eyes were now dull and gray, and her vision was also a hazy gray.
Yin Yang slowly stood up from the ground. After taking a deep breath and sensing Xuan Qing'er's presence, he mustered his courage and walked towards her, softly calling out, "Qing'er..."
"Don't come any closer!" Xuan Qing'er shouted at her.
Yin Yang trembled and quickly stopped.
"You're not Yin Yang, who are you?!" Xuan Qing'er pointed her sword at Yin Yang with red eyes and spoke angrily.
Yin Yang stood there blankly, feeling the killing intent emanating from Xuan Qing'er. He stared unblinkingly in her direction, trying to see her expression, but everything was just a blur!
Yin Yang felt his body stiffen and immediately understood what was happening.
She is now a sword spirit, but because she has not signed a contract with a human, she is greatly affected by the outside world. In particular, when she is in water, she will turn into the flesh of the sword, becoming dull and spitting out iron blood!
"Qing'er, listen to me..." Just as Yin Yang was about to explain, Xuan Qing'er interrupted her directly:
"Don't lie to me! You monster!"
Yin Yang opened his mouth in astonishment, not expecting Xuan Qing'er to react in this way.
Xuan Qing'er roared angrily, "Give me back Yin and Yang! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Yin Yang was immediately frightened by her aura and took a step back. The killing intent emanating from Xuan Qing'er was so intense that even she couldn't help but feel afraid.
Seeing Yin Yang take a step back, Xuan Qing'er stepped forward, pointing her sword at Yin Yang and coldly demanding, "Tell me, when exactly did you begin to invade her body!"
Yin Yang couldn't see Xuan Qing'er's expression, but he could sense her anger from her aura.
But even if she asks herself this question, how can she say that she is her yin and yang?
Should I tell her the truth?
What if she hears this and never falls in love with me again?
The bond from their past life will be severed, and the bet with that person will be lost. At that point, the two of them will never be able to meet again...
Torn between Yin and Yang, he sighed helplessly, clenched his fists, and ultimately remained silent.
Seeing that Yin Yang remained silent, Xuan Qing'er became even more furious. "You won't talk, huh? Then I'll beat you until you do!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Yang suddenly felt a cold, sharp blade pierce her chest, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain...
Yin Yang raised his head, looking at the spot in front of him where Xuan Qing'er's aura lingered with a puzzled expression. "Qing'er, you..."
