Legend has it that over a thousand years ago, the leader of a heretical sect tried to resurrect his dead wife. He somehow opened the long-sealed gate to the demon realm, bringing the Eight Great Clans into battle. They say corpses covered the land, and no one survived.
In the end, it was Young Master Yan who came to stop them and successfully sealed the gate. The Eight Great Clans suffered devastating losses in the battle, and no one knows what became of Young Master Yan.
A thousand years later, the heretical sect opened the gate to the demon realm again. Another bloody battle followed, its scale even greater than the one a thousand years before.
"Yan Xiyan!" Shang Juemo cried out, shouting Yan Xiyan's name. Yan Xiyan turned to him and said, "Old Shang, this is my duty." Then he turned and left.
Shang Juemo watched Yan Xiyan's retreating figure and shouted, "If you're leaving, at least undo this seal first! You can go afterward! This is terrifying!"
(That's wrong, I wrote it wrong.)
Shang Juemo watched Yan Xiyan's retreating figure and shouted, "Yan Xiyan, didn't you promise you wouldn't abandon me? You're breaking your promise!" He could only watch as Yan Xiyan went to the sacrificial altar.
Yan Xiyan turned toward Shang Juemo and bowed. "Young Master Shang, I am Yan Xiyan, and I have fallen deeply in love with you. If I don't return this time..." Tears fell as Yan Xiyan choked up. "Then please forget me, Shang Juemo. And if I am lucky enough to survive, please forget me anyway."
Gong Lile asked Yan Xiyan, "Can you really bear to do it?" Yan Xiyan smiled bitterly. "How could I not?" He looked at Shang Juemo, who was bound and still trying to break the seal. "I owe him one lifetime, but I can't repay him in three."
"I owe him one lifetime, but can't repay him in three. I repay the bond between us, and from then on, we are strangers."
First time writing, so please don't mind if it's not very good. Feel free to point out any problems.
This is a sweet story.
