"Has she set out for the far north?"
"Your Majesty, she left this morning."
"Good. Is everything ready there?"
"Everything is prepared. The cage we've carefully set for her will ensure she never returns."
"Master, how did she end up here?"
"She already had one fragment of her soul here. Now that her spirit is weak, she instinctively possessed Xiao Yin."
"How is she?"
"Hong Qu seems to have lost half her spiritual essence. The half she has left is shattered, too."
"What about Xiao Yin?"
"Don't worry. Hong Qu is kind by nature and won't devour Xiao Yin's soul. But she's badly hurt, and we don't know when she'll wake up."
"Will they share one body forever?"
"Once she recovers, we'll draw her soul out and create a new body for her."
"You? Where's Xiao Yin?"
"I am Xiao Yin."
"Stop pretending. Get your soul out of her and bring Xiao Yin here."
"Ah! Ahhh!"
"Hong Qu! Hong Qu! Relax. Don't think about it. Just relax."
"Sha Ka... Big Brother..."
"I'm here. I'm here."
"She gave up half her spiritual essence for you, just to keep the fragments of your soul intact... When you were punished and sent into the cycle of reincarnation, she spent tens of thousands of years of her power and defied the laws of Heaven to take human form. Otherwise, how do you think you survived the eight hardships of reincarnation unscathed?!... The gods of Heaven feared her, so they tricked her into going to that prison formation in the far north, prepared for her long ago. Isn't her current state all your fault?!"
"Why go to such lengths to expend your power creating a pocket dimension?"
"I won't let him find Xiao Yin."
"If Si Ling meets Yi Sha, he'll inevitably meet Xiao Yin. If Yi Sha falls in love with Si Ling, she'll inevitably fall in love with Ya Long..." If I fall in love with you, I'll inevitably fall in love with you.
"Whether it's Yi Sha or Xiao Yin, they'll both be mine."
"Master... Si Yin... No. Sha-Ka. I've followed you for tens of thousands of years. I'm your shadow, a spirit born from your meridians. In all six realms, you're the only one connected to me... I was born to love you, so I'll never be able to defeat you!"
"Sha Ka, what is so wrong with me? How am I not as good as Yi Sha?! Sha Ka! Turn around... Look at me, please."
Hong Qu carries her fragrance homeward, while the one she cherishes most never knows.
