Xuan Qing'er lowered her head and remained silent, just like Yin and Yang had been back then...
Cui Ming took a deep breath, turned his head away, slammed his hand on the table, and scolded, "Yin Yang has always taken meticulous care of you, and this is how you repay her!"
Xuan Qing'er silently shed tears without speaking. At this moment, she finally understood the helplessness and pain in Yin Yang's heart.
Cui Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, now that things have come to this, I have to tell you about Yin and Yang!"
Xuan Qing'er raised her head and looked at Cui Ming with a puzzled expression.
Cui Ming spoke softly, "I still remember the first time I saw Yin Yang. She was only eight or nine years old. She was holding you, who had just been born, in one arm and fighting a pack of wolves with a blood-stained sword in the other, just like now, covered in blood—"
Xuan Qing'er was slightly taken aback, and looked up at Cui Ming. She had never heard Yin Yang mention this matter before.
At this moment, Cui Ming seemed to be lost in memories, and sighed softly, "But the blood was not blood red, but a silver that shimmered under the moonlight! It shone with a faint radiance, not dazzling but still eye-catching."
Upon hearing Cui Ming's words, Xuan Qing'er felt her eyes burning, and tears of blood fell again without her realizing it.
"I later learned that the packs of wolves chasing you were because of your innate powerful spiritual energy." Cui Ming turned to look at Xuan Qing'er. "I originally intended to watch from the sidelines, to be the last bird to catch the worm, but I never expected to witness the most shocking scene..."
Cui Ming slowly closed his eyes, as if recalling that day more than a decade ago—
He trembled with excitement, his voice shaking:
"That girl transformed into a divine weapon, annihilating all the enemies surrounding them with a single, all-out sword strike! That strike was fast, ruthless, and precise—the swordsmanship I've pursued my entire life! I learned from her that she was originally a swordswoman, but later, in order to be with her beloved forever, she not only entered the world as the spirit of the sword her lover wielded, but also embarked on the cycle of reincarnation with him to protect him..."
Xuan Qing'er stared blankly at Cui Ming, her throat stinging so much she couldn't speak.
Yi Sheng spoke calmly, "I think, Xuan Qing'er, you must be the person she hopes to spend her life with and protect, right?"
Cui Ming sighed and nodded. "That's right, Xuan Qing'er is the lover that Yin Yang wants to protect... In order not to make you worry or feel burdened, she kept everything a secret and carefully accompanied you. I really didn't expect that you would distrust her so much and even kill her with your own hands!"
Xuan Qing'er's eyes widened, her throat suddenly tightened, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her gaze dimmed instantly. "Why...why didn't you tell me sooner! Why—"
Xuan Qing'er never imagined that the person she loved had always loved her, and that she would dedicate her entire life to protecting her!
Xuan Qing'er staggered to Yin Yang's side. Looking at Yin Yang, whom she had injured, she felt the pain from the wound gradually transfer to her own body, so intense that she could hardly breathe...
Xuan Qing'er raised her hand and carefully stroked Yin Yang's face, her voice trembling:
"Yin Yang, open your eyes and look at me... Do you hate me now? If I trusted you, you wouldn't be dead..."
Xuan Qing'er gazed intently at Yin and Yang, scrutinizing every detail from top to bottom.
Suddenly, Xuan Qing'er noticed a long silver hair among her black hair.
Looking at that unique long hair, Xuan Qing'er felt a little awkward and reached out towards that strand of silver hair...
Yi Sheng, standing to the side, coldly watched Xuan Qing'er. At this moment, his heart was devoid of any emotion, except for a slight reluctance towards Yin Yang. However, this feeling had already been diluted.
Just then, Xuan Qing'er plucked the silver hair from the Yin-Yang hairpin. Looking at this silver hair, countless memories suddenly flooded Xuan Qing'er's mind, but the most profound one was...
Sword Tomb
Do you like your hair styled like this today?
Yin Yang frowned slightly as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her hairstyle accentuated the beauty of her silver hair, making her face appear even more handsome, but Yin Yang seemed somewhat displeased.
I look so much like a woman!
However, this is what she likes...
Therefore, Yin Yang did not show any dissatisfaction in front of Xuan Qing'er, and simply replied, "Okay."
"Okay? You're just being perfunctory! So you don't like it!" Xuan Qing'er gave a haughty snort.
Yin Yang, whose thoughts had been exposed, said nothing, his eyes slightly lowered as if he were absent-minded.
Seeing Yin Yang's expression, Xuan Qing'er's heart tightened. She immediately knelt down in front of her, took Yin Yang's cold hand in her warm palm, pressed it against her cheek, and softly spoke:
"Yin Yang, I haven't seen you smile since Xiao Li left... I am your wife, and also your other half's sword spirit. If you have something on your mind, don't bear it alone anymore. Share it with me, okay?"
"Qing'er, I'm sorry, actually I..."
Before Yin Yang could finish speaking, a strange aura wafted over, and a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared inside the Sword Tomb. Yin Yang instinctively shielded Xuan Qing'er behind him, warily watching the black mist. "Who's playing tricks! Show yourself!"
"It's been a long time. I didn't expect you two, Yin and Yang, to still be so affectionate and content!" Cang Mu's figure appeared, a wicked smile on his lips.
"It's you? What are you doing here?" Yin Yang frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him.
"I'm here to remind you two that if you don't enter the cycle of reincarnation soon, you'll likely lose even more power!" Cang Mu said with a smile.
Yin Yang snorted coldly and said, "We appreciate your kindness, but you don't need to worry about us. Please go back, Lord Cang Mu!"
