It Takes Two, So Don’t Die Yet!

Xie Wan died once the first time she met Rong Heng.

The ruins of Tianmen Sect collapsed, and a beam smashed through her skull.

She should have died on the spot.

But when she opened her eyes again, she was still alive.

And the demon Rong Heng, standing on the other side of the ruins, turned pale for a moment.

Only later did Xie Wan learn the truth.

She and Rong Heng had formed a life pact, one that had been lost for ten thousand years.

The terms of the pact were absurdly simple.

If one of them died, the other would trade away their own lifespan to bring them back.

Everyone in the cultivation world knew that Rong Heng was a madman.

The foremost figure in the demonic path.

A ruthless killer.

With no weaknesses.

Nobody knew he had an even bigger problem.

Every time Xie Wan died, he lost years off his life.

And Xie Wan had spectacularly bad luck.

Secret realms collapsed.

Teleportation arrays exploded.

She could be hunted down just for taking a sip of water.

Rong Heng eventually even wondered if she had gone out of her way to offend the Heavenly Dao in her past life.

At first, Rong Heng wanted to break the pact.

Xie Wan wanted to break it too.

After all, who would want to be bound to someone who could die at any moment?

But then...

Xie Wan died a second time.

Then a third.

Then a fourth.

In the end, Rong Heng stopped trying to break the pact.

Because he realized that every time she died,

he was always the first one to lose his mind.

"What if I die one day?"

"I'll save you."

"What if I die over and over?"

"Then I'll save you over and over."

"What if you run out of years to give?"

Rong Heng looked at her for a long time, then smiled.

"Then we'll find another way to live."
