"Time travel is a lie, waiting is a prison, love is the only truth"
I traveled through the world of immortality and reunited with the lost Bai Yueguang Xu Ruqing.
He said he only arrived one day early, but why was there loneliness in his eyes?
He protected me at the entrance and gave me elixirs, but he sighed at my spiritual stone in the middle of the night.
We searched for the artifact to return home together, but he became more and more silent.
Until the truth is revealed - he has been struggling in this world for five hundred years, his hands are bloody, and he is beyond recognition.
"Xie Fei," he pinched my chin, his eyes scarlet, "You said you love me, then choose me or go home?"
I held the crystal pen he gave me and pointed the pen tip at my heart:
"If returning home has to cost you your life, then I choose you."
But he smiled, and his smile burned his soul:
"Idiot, I didn't wait for you for five hundred years just to let you choose me."
"It's to... Set you free."
