Ash skillfully gathered Sword Lady's long hair together. He did not hate this job. Although he was not a hair fetishist, Sword Lady's long hair was as smooth as silk. He felt an inexplicable joy in tying her hair. The back of her neck that was exposed after her hair was gathered up also looked very nice. He first used the hair in front to tie a small ponytail with a hole left in it, and then passed the big ponytail through the hole, so that the hairline would not be stretched tight, and the big ponytail at the back would not droop because of the small ponytail.

"Nothing will change." Sonia suddenly said, "I will still hate you, but I still don't want to leave you."

Ash paused and tied her hair up.

Sonia turned to look at him and asked in a declarative tone: "Even though you apologized, you still won't change, right?"

"Yes." Ash almost forced himself to say the word.

"Then let's do this." Sonia said softly, "This is the only way we can do."

"No."

"Um?"

"We can't do this." Ash said word by word, "Anyone in this world can hate me, but I will never allow you to... This is the only price I cannot bear."

Sonia stared at him blankly, her lips trembling slightly, biting her lower lip and saying aggrievedly: "This is not my fault..."

"I don't blame you." Ash said immediately: "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility, solving the problem is the key!"

"Why have you become so unreasonable?" Sonia was so angry that her stomach was burning, but she also wanted to laugh: "This is obviously your only responsibility!"

At this moment, she was moved: Wait, why is Ash's thinking pattern so similar to -

"Have you forgotten that we are still at level 5 of our bond? Your personality overlaps with mine," Ash said with a smile, "I am learning how to be so unreasonable from you."

Sonia couldn't help but punch him in the chest: "It's obviously you who are hypocritical and shameless, and you dare to blame me!?"

"Maybe I didn't learn from you to be unreasonable, but to face my true heart." Ash said softly, "Actually, that's what I think in my heart... I want you to like me, but I also want you to tolerate all my shortcomings, and I don't allow you to hate me... Is that a bit too much?"

"Just a little?" Sonia questioned.

"If you don't agree, I will pester you every night before going to bed. If you don't give me a goodnight kiss, I will assume that you are angry and will not let you sleep and try to please you. Anyway, it's okay for us not to sleep. I will definitely not let you keep your resentment until the next day. You must vent it out on the same day."

Sonia stared at him blankly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She pursed her lips and said faintly, "Can't I even hate you? Do you have to bully me like this?"

"I just bully you, bully you because you like me, and I will bully you for the rest of my life." Ash said, "But when you hate me, it's your turn to bully me, and the rest of the time I bully you...Have you ever studied scissors? Look at the two blades of scissors. They chop each other every day, but they never hurt each other. After fighting for 300 rounds, they can still stick together perfectly."

"We may not be the happiest couple." Ash said, "But at least we can be a scissors-like couple."

Sonia actually had some revenge in mind this time... She knew Ash would not change, but at least he would feel ashamed, sad and embarrassed. Who would have thought that Ash would be so unreasonable? He used to be a trash can, but at least he was a trash can with a conscience... Maybe he was not wrong. The level 5 bond not only made him empathize with her, but also allowed him to learn her way of thinking.

That mindset of holding on to what's yours.

Sonia took a deep breath, and grasped Ash's shoulders with both hands, her eyes sparkling with tears: "The Six-Wing Trial is nothing... You are my greatest trial."

Ash pulled her into his arms and whispered, "You are my six-winged trial, but it will take me a lifetime to complete it."

Sonia retorted, "You also know it's 'you'? Have you had too many trials?"

Perhaps because of the level 5 bond, Ash knew exactly what Sonia wanted. He lowered his head and kissed Sonia. Unlike the previous kiss full of shame, sadness, and bitterness, this kiss was extremely gentle, sweet, yet full of anger. The two of them hysterically demanded each other, like a pair of clanging scissors.

When their lips parted, they hugged each other and rested for a while. Ash suddenly asked, "Is that it?"

"That's all we can do." Sonia replied softly.

Ash finally had time to appreciate the scenery. The sun was shining brightly, and there was a faint rainbow in the distant clouds. The undeveloped forest was like a sea, with thousands of treetops swaying in the wind, creating layers of waves. After the heavy rain, the air was filled with a refreshing coolness, and the sky was high and the air was fresh, making one feel relaxed and happy.

"...Is it time to go back?" Sonia said, "Yin Deng and the others must be waiting for news from you, but before you go back, you should tell my mother first..."

"Yeah." Ash said, "But even if we stay here to enjoy the scenery for a while, the world won't be destroyed, right?"

Isn't the scenery here beautiful? It's just the undeveloped forest near a remote town... Although she was so unromantic in her heart, Sonia smiled faintly and leaned lazily in Ash's arms, quietly enjoying the rare tranquility after the battle.

…

…

Half a month later.

The fourth level of hell, the hell of fantasy.

As soon as Ash descended, he imagined a snowy scene in his mind. When he opened his eyes, the surrounding environment was indeed a snowy country. The characteristic of Fantasy Hell is "I am the world", and the world seen by everyone is subjective. On the contrary, Ash's inspiration is too high, and he can see the realm of God at a glance. He has to imagine a specific scene to reduce his spiritual vision.

"How dare you come?"

Ash turned around and saw the crazy woman leaning against a dead tree smoking. She happened to be wearing winter clothes, a fluffy coat on the upper body and a short skirt and long boots on the lower body. She would change her outfit style every time, and each time it would make Ash's eyes light up. He would secretly remember this outfit and recommend it to Sonia next time.

Seeing her staring at him with a bad look, Ash walked over without hesitation, spread out his two palms and handed them to her with a look of "it's up to you" as if he was ready to die.

Death Maniac raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Oh? Why do you think I want to teach you a lesson?"

"Is it because you made Sonia so sad? Or is it because you made Sonia compromise and accept that unequal treaty? Or is it because... you kissed me secretly before you left last time?"

Ash's eyes wandered, "Whatever you want!" Just by listening to his tone, I thought he was some heroic hero who was going to die calmly.

Si Kuang sneered, put the cigarette in his palm and shook off the ash.

"Let's go," she said. "Maybe we can make it in time for the funerals of your two friends."
