After leaving the courtyard, there is a winding path in the bamboo forest.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the bamboo leaves rustled.

Xie Zhili was still analyzing today's game and tomorrow's preparations when he caught a glimpse of Song Yingyue frowning slightly.

He asked: "What's wrong?"

Song Yingyue's expression was somewhat complicated. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Brother, I don't seem to feel any pain anymore."

Xie Zhili and Yu Qingci both paused.

Xie Zhili immediately reached out and held Song Yingyue's wrist with a nervous expression.

A spiritual power slowly penetrated into her body.

After a moment, he frowned, released his hand and said:

"Strange, I didn't notice anything abnormal in your body. When did you lose the sense of pain?"

Song Yingyue seemed to be lost in memories and continued:

"It's been a while, but I thought it was just my imagination. But during the game today, I was clearly scratched, but I didn't feel any pain."

Yu Qingci's fingertips trembled slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at his arm, his brows slightly furrowed.

In a blink of an eye, his peripheral vision fell on Song Yingyue's hair bun again.

The white jade hairpin was reflecting the warm light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The scene where Tong Huanyou handed him the hairpin suddenly came to his mind.

"Give this hairpin to Sister Song. Although it cannot cure the disease, it will definitely suppress her cold symptoms."

Her voice was firm.

Yu Qingci's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but touch the hairpin lying on his chest.

Use your fingertips to outline the pattern of the hairpin through the fabric.

The same.

The pupils trembled suddenly.

Could it be that... the coldness in Youyou's body before was not caused by that ghost, but was a transfer of my sister's coldness!

Thinking of this, he became extremely anxious and subconsciously walked quickly out of the yard.

Xie Zhili noticed something was wrong with him at the first moment and hurriedly grabbed him.

"Where are you going, brother?"

Yu Qingci broke free from his hand, his face gloomy, and said coldly: "I want to go back to the house."

Song Yingyue frowned upon hearing this, and rarely spoke with a reprimanding tone:

"Ah Ci, I know you've missed You You a lot since you last saw him, but tomorrow is the most critical day, so please don't be willful, okay?"

Xie Zhili also hurriedly advised, "Junior brother, as long as the battle in the Demon Suppression Tower is over, you can go and propose marriage in style. Don't let small matters delay big things."

"If your mood is affected tonight and something goes wrong tomorrow, it will not be good for you or Youyou."

Xie Zhili spoke earnestly, trying to calm Yu Qingci down.

Yu Qingci paused, his expression still gloomy, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Now that the hairpin is on him, Youyou doesn’t have to feel pain for her sister anymore…

"Youyou is in the house, she won't be in any danger. At this time, she should be almost asleep. You don't want to wake her up again, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingci curled the corner of his mouth.

She must have been cursing him in different ways these past two days, accusing him of locking her up.

It’s okay, just curse more.

Soon, I will be able to marry you.

……

in the cave.

"So, you were trapped here because your best friend and lover teamed up to pull out your dragon tendons and heart-protecting scales?"

Tong Huanyou widened his eyes, his face full of shock, and said in disbelief.

Xuan Lin glanced at her calmly and nodded.

His expression was indifferent and calm.

"It's interesting to say that when I first transformed from a snake into a dragon and left the bottom of Lingya Cliff, I met the master."

"She once reminded me not to let love ruin my chances of success. But I never expected that she would fail because of love."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Xuan Lin's face.

"No, she lost to all living creatures. But she won in love. Her lover was willing to die with her." Tong Huanyou explained.

"Going to die? Is this a new play?"

Xuan Lin frowned and said "tsk" softly, full of sarcasm, with a disdainful arc at the corner of his mouth and his eyes full of mockery.

"Just because you were deceived, you can't generalize that all love is fake." Tong Huanyou frowned, "This is wrong."

"Wrong? What's wrong?" Hearing the voice, Xuan Lin leaned closer to Tong Huanyou, and the iron chain clanged with his movements.

"Is it my fault that my master trusted a human and brought disaster upon himself? Or is it my fault that I trusted a human when I first came to the human world and will never be able to become a dragon?"

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Isn't this what you have firmly believed from ancient times to the present?"

Xuan Lin's face was full of grief and anger, his brows were tightly knitted together, and his body was trembling slightly.

"You have always believed that demons are evil, and only you humans are noble."

"But in fact, even tigers know that even a poisonous tiger will not eat its own cubs. When you humans fight for territory and cause famine, you can even eat your own cubs."

"Even their old mothers were sold as two-legged sheep to satisfy their hunger. When disaster strikes, they can even push their wives out to save their own lives."

"Do you really have feelings for each other?" Xuan Lin's eyes were filled with endless mockery and his face was distorted.

Tong Huanyou was speechless for a moment. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that she couldn't refute his words, Xuan Lin smiled contemptuously again:

"Love is nothing but a knife in your hands. Even you want to use his blood soul crystal as a weapon. It's really ridiculous."

The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were cold and full of disdain.

Tong Huanyou grasped the key point in the words and asked nervously: "What happened to the Blood Soul Crystal? What effect does it have on him?"

"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Unless the ancient monsters have exhausted their soul essence, they will be immortal."

"Oh no, there is another way, that is, he kills himself."

Xuan Lin's expression became increasingly grim, his eyes fixed on Tong Huanyou.

"Every time you activate the power of the Blood Soul Crystal, you consume his soul essence."

"Why else do you think I would be so polite to you? Which blind monster in this world would dare to confront the Ancient Soul Essence?"

There was a hint of coldness in Xuan Lin's eyes and his tone was chilling.

Tong Huanyou's face turned pale instantly, his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, his lips trembling: "He actually took his own life..."

Xuan Lin snorted coldly: "So, what's the difference between you and them?"

His face was full of disdain. He turned his head away and returned to his original position, his eyes full of disgust for Tong Huanyou.

"No, I'm different from them. Every person is different, and every monster is different."

"You only see that you are the victim, so you think everyone is selfish."

Tong Huanyou raised his head with a determined look.

"But there are millions of people in this world, and their thoughts are never unified."

"Some people eat their own children, and some people cut off their own flesh to feed their children."

"Some people sell their mothers, and some people are willing to sacrifice their lives to fight for their mothers because their mothers have been humiliated."

"Some people abandon their wives to save themselves, while others leave their only hope of life to their loved ones."

Tong Huanyou became more and more excited as he spoke. He looked directly at Xuan Lin without flinching and his voice was passionate.

"You should condemn individual behavior, not the group."

"War is based on disasters, so whoever starts the war first is the leader who made the mistake. Why should the people who suffer below bear equal responsibility?"

Tong Huanyou clenched his fists, his eyes looking different.
