    He suddenly remembered that many, many years ago, he too had waited for someone in this way. Only, back then, he hadn't waited. The young master of the Asura Palace had single-handedly stormed into the great formation set up by the Immortal Sect. He fought them relentlessly, his eyes bloodshot, breaking through the formation and forcing the Immortal Sect to retreat three hundred miles. Everyone said Xie Chenzhou had gone mad. Everyone hoped Xie Chenzhou would die. But he just wouldn't die. Why wouldn't he die? Amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the young man looked at his wounds, now completely healed, and closed his eyes in despair. "Why... Why won't he die?" He was so close to losing his life on the battlefield. Sang Nian thought, it must hurt terribly. The pampered and noble Prince Shen had never suffered such hardship in his life, yet he endured it without complaining to her. Truly remarkable. "Xie Chenzhou." The boy's eyes were dark, and he slowly shook his head: "…I don't know you." Sang Nian was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile: "I am Sang Nian." The boy was silent for a moment: "You are my enemy." "…" "I am your lover." Sang Nian said. Xie Chenzhou suddenly covered his head, veins bulging on his forehead. "No, you are my enemy." He gritted his teeth: "I hate you." "I should hate you." Before Sang Nian could say anything, a cold system notification suddenly sounded in her ear. [Ding~ Xie Chenzhou's favorability -1, current favorability: 99] [Sorry, mission failed] [You will be leaving this world in ten minutes. Please prepare yourself.] "…" It was like a bucket of ice water being poured over her, the chill seeping into Sang Nian's limbs and bones, almost freezing her blood. The pillar that had always supported her collapsed. [Ding~ Xie Chenzhou's favorability -1, current favorability: 99] [Sorry, mission failed] [You will be leaving this world in ten minutes. Please prepare, host.] "..." Like a bucket of ice water being poured over her, the chill seeped into Sang Nian's limbs and bones, almost freezing her blood. The pillar that had always supported her collapsed with a crash, and all her strength seemed to be drained in an instant. She collapsed to the ground, exhausted. ... She could never go home. She thought. Never again. Opposite her, Xie Chenzhou drew his natal sword, but his hand holding the sword trembled violently. He spoke with difficulty: "I should kill you." The natal sword struggled fiercely, refusing to come near her no matter what. Sang Nian raised her eyes, her expression a mixture of crying and laughing: "I can't go home, Xie Chenzhou." Her face was full of despair: "I can't... Go home." Xie Chenzhou's pupils contracted, still bewildered. The sky was a cold, metallic white, always reminding one of the blade of a longsword. Looking up at it seemed like it would cut one's eyes. Sang Nian gazed at the sky, tears streaming down her cheeks and disappearing behind her temples. Suddenly, she laughed, "I miss my mother." Without warning, she grabbed the sword before her and plunged it into her heart. Her natal sword whimpered, desperately trying to pull back. Blood dripped from her thin fingers as she whispered, "Be good." The sword's struggle lessened, still whimpering like a sob. Then, in the next moment, the sword pierced her heart smoothly. Clean and swift. Not even a word was left for him. A few drops of warm blood splattered onto the boy's cheek. He touched it, stunned, his fingertips stained crimson. The star pendant, carefully hidden in her inner garment, suddenly began to heat up, abruptly breaking free of its red string and flying into the air. In an instant, the radiant starlight sealed within it since ancient times, piercing through the torrent of time, showered down, softly covering the girl's face. [A thousand sails pass by the sunken ship, ten thousand trees bloom before the withered tree] [May Xie Chenzhou live a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, and be safe and sound every year] The handwriting was neat, each character written with such solemnity. "…" Xie Chenzhou staggered, almost falling. No. No. She wasn't his enemy. She was… Who was she? Who exactly was she? Why was he so sad when she died? So sad that he wished he could die with her? She was, she was… She was, Nian Nian. Xie Chenzhou looked at the blood on his hands. This was Nian Nian's blood. This was the blood of his wife, Nian Nian. "Ding—" The star pendant that had been floating in the air fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. One of the fragments splashed onto the girl's hand. The strings of her zither were soaked in the blood, reflecting a faint light. The Wei Yueyan was close to it. As intimate as its master had been in life. In his ears, the girl's clear voice rang out again, one note after another. "Xie Chenzhou, I'll treat you better from now on, I won't make you angry, and I'll try to coax you more." "Xie Chenzhou, I'm giving you thirty million." "Xie Chenzhou, you're the most, most, most powerful person I've ever met." "But, to become that powerful, you must have suffered a lot, right?" "His name is Xie Chenzhou, he has a name and a surname, he's not the immortal you talk about." "He's not a monster." "Xie Chenzhou is Xie Chenzhou, he doesn't need to become anyone else." "He climbed out of purgatory, I won't let him fall back down." "I will catch him, I will always catch him." "Gods and Buddhas won't tolerate him, but I will."

In a psychological clinic, the older brother, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, gently stroked a scalpel: "Xiao Mu, only your brother can cure your heartache." In the depths of the imperial palace, the older brother, a tyrant, pushed a cup of poisoned wine in front of him, a half-smile on his face: "Royal brother, choose a way to die that you like?" In a post-apocalyptic laboratory, the reborn test subject brother grabbed his neck, his voice hoarse: "Why... Why did you want to kill me in my past life?" In a demon-slaying family, the older brother, wielding a talisman, pointed his sword at him: "Demon, die!" Behind him was his sealed mother. Inside a medieval castle, the older brother in a wheelchair handed him a poisoned dagger: "My dear brother, either use it to kill me, or... I'll use it to destroy you." The system screamed: [Host, run!] "Use love to influence them!" Shen Mu locked the door behind him, giving his dangerous older brothers a dazzling smile: "Brothers, stop thinking about self-destruction." "—This time, your little brother will save you."
