"I refuse." Song Mengmeng turned her head away almost without thinking, as if she didn't want to continue communicating with Bai Suzhen.
She can bring good fortune to people, but that doesn't mean she will forgive and help those who have schemed against her!
This is impossible!
Even though the person sitting opposite her was a monster she was familiar with and even liked, Song Mengmeng did not compromise in the slightest.
“You know better than I how I obtained this good fortune! It’s not something you can get me to agree to your wishes by using such despicable means.” Song Mengmeng lowered her eyes, her tone indifferent and unreadable.
The other people who know Song Mengmeng well aren't here. If they were, they would probably be able to tell that Song Mengmeng's expressionless face only shows her true feelings right now—she's about to explode with anger!
However, as clever as Bai Suzhen was, she couldn't care less about anything else at the moment! The missed opportunities life after life had already exhausted her little remaining rationality. She didn't want anything else now, only to reunite with her destined one, even if it meant resorting to any means necessary!
"Yes, I know that what I did today is offensive to you. But I have no other choice." Bai Suzhen reached for the umbrella on the umbrella stand and gently rubbed it in her hand. "If you can help me meet my destined person, I promise to offer you my demon core as an apology!"
If Bai Suzhen's previous act of detaining her made Song Mengmeng feel mostly anger, then her current decision gave her a feeling of shock!
Bai Suzhen is a powerful demon who has cultivated for thousands of years!
The power contained within her demon core goes without saying, but what's more deadly is that if she were to hand over her demon core, she would essentially destroy her demonic body, becoming no different from a human afterward...
No, she's even worse off than a human!
Humans still have the chance to reincarnate, but for demons who have lost their demon cores, there is no other fate awaiting them but annihilation.
"Why?" Song Mengmeng looked at Bai Suzhen with some confusion. Wasn't living good enough?!
"My lord, do you know the pain of waiting through countless lifetimes?! My story with Xu Xian is sung by later generations. Everyone only knows that Xu Xian and I went through many tribulations, but in the end, we were lovers who were finally united."
In reality, our relationships are filled with more separation than joy.
In every lifetime I find him, but I can only catch a glimpse of him from afar. When I finally want to get closer, what always comes to us first is calamity.
We bear the immense sin of flooding Jinshan Temple, and the price we pay is eternal separation in exchange for one lifetime of joy.
I once thought that I should only care about the present and not the future!
But after experiencing such sweetness, how could one not wish to have more of it?!
In every lifetime, Xu Xian is destined for a short life. Every time I find him, not long after, he either succumbs to an accident or a serious illness. In short, my reunions with him are always filled with the lingering sorrow of unrequited love.
Bai Suzhen gazed at the rain curtain before her, her eyes revealing a sorrow and pain that Song Mengmeng could never comprehend. She sat quietly for a while before continuing, "I always hope that I can find him immediately after his reincarnation; but at the same time, I'm also afraid of finding him so soon!"
Because every meeting means an impending separation.
People seek love like licking honey from a knife's edge; the first taste is almost like cutting their tongues.
"My lord, I've had enough of this! So, rather than continue enduring this hopeless future, let it all end now."
Even the legendary White Snake, who could summon wind and rain and fearlessly face heaven and earth for her lover, eventually succumbed to the torment of such daily and yearly suffering and wanted to give up.
"What will happen to Xiaoqing if you leave?!" Song Mengmeng subconsciously looked around, but did not see the other protagonist accompanying Bai Suzhen.
“Xiaoqing has her own future. Without my burden, her life will be better.” Bai Suzhen slowly stood up, slightly raised her hand, and quietly dispelled the barrier in front of her: “My lord, I am not making things difficult for you. I only invited you here to make this deal with you.”
My shop is right here. If you find my suggestion acceptable, you are welcome to come anytime.
"The rain has stopped." Song Mengmeng looked at the streets outside, washed clean by the rain and mist, and sighed softly.
Bai Suzhen stood beside her and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the rain has stopped. It would be redundant to take out the umbrella again! We can only wait until next time and see if we can meet someone who needs an umbrella."
"Who said that?!" Song Mengmeng raised her hand and showed Bai Suzhen the small flower umbrella she was holding: "If the sun comes out later, won't we need an umbrella to shield ourselves from the sun?!"
You demons are all so stubborn!
Even knowing that there is a dead end ahead, they still rush in regardless, and don't turn back even when they hit a wall!
Why are you so sure that Xu Xian's reincarnation is definitely your destined one?!
Perhaps provoked by the resentful aura emanating from Bai Suzhen, Song Mengmeng, who had taken two steps away, couldn't help but stop and turn back to Bai Suzhen. Staring at her, she asked, word by word, "Xu Xian's reincarnation, no matter how many lifetimes, even if it's still the same soul, without the memories of the past, he is essentially a completely new individual!"
Why do you still want to use things from your past life to entangle and manipulate him?!
You only think that this reincarnated Xu Xian is the lover you've been searching for through countless lifetimes! But does he even remember you?!
Since he knows nothing, what makes you think he doesn't want to give up everything from the past and seek a new life of his own?
You keep saying that you only need an umbrella when it rains, but can't you use an umbrella to shade yourself when the sun is out?!
"I... I remember him!" Bai Suzhen was completely bewildered by Song Mengmeng's barrage of questions. She stood blankly at the shop entrance for a long time before she finally reacted and stammered, "Like, the reason I found Xu Xian before was because he was the little shepherd boy who saved me back then!"
"But Xu Xian was some little shepherd boy?!" Song Mengmeng looked at Bai Suzhen, who seemed to be stuck in a strange train of thought and couldn't get out of it, with a look of disgust, and continued to complain with considerable dissatisfaction: "You fell in love with Xu Xian because of his independent personality, which made you willing to marry him and spend your life together! But from the moment Xu Xian was reincarnated, your relationship actually ended there!"
