Ning Chixue never imagined she would see Wen Zheng again. Across a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, demons had slaughtered their way through all thirteen prefectures.
She was about to die. Seeing Wen Zheng again before her death was no blessing.
Ning Chixue first met Wen Zheng after accidentally entering the Thousandfold Secret Realm, where the two of them were trapped together and left each other in peace for several days.
That was until Wen Zheng discovered that she was born with a furnace physique.
Those born with a furnace physique could be drained of their essence, or... refined into medicine.
On the brink of death, Ning Chixue clutched Wen Zheng's sleeve. "I don't want to die..."
Wen Zheng studied her for a moment, then cruelly asked, "Do you know what a furnace is for?"
His sword tip opened the front of Ning Chixue's robe. Then came his icy words:
"I won't kill you, but I will touch you."
Before the age of sixteen, Ning Chixue was the only daughter of the master of Mount Luofu in Biyuntian, cherished by everyone from birth.
After turning sixteen, she was taken to the Demon Realm, where she never saw her family or friends again.
She was the wife whom the Demon Lord, Wen Zheng, was rumored to dote on.
In the sixth year after Ning Chixue entered the Demon Realm, demons conquered Bailuzhou, and every member of the Changning Immortal Sect there was taken prisoner.
Among the captives, she saw an old friend again.
"Miss Ning..." The friend who had once stood shyly before her now had a head of white hair, while Ning Chixue's face remained unchanged.
He hardly dared believe it was her.
For the first time in a long while, Ning Chixue thought of the Qionghua Grove and the snow on Cangshan in Biyuntian. She had once believed she had forgotten it all.
Hesitantly, she asked about the past.
The man was astonished, and equally surprised that she still looked like a young girl. "Miss Ning, don't you know? Biyuntian fell to the demonic calamity fifty years ago."
With the Demon Realm between them, and thirteen prefectures separating them,
her parents and her homeland were both beyond her reach.
But she still wanted to go home.
Wen Zheng's wife died in the sixth year, and that same year, Ning Chixue returned to the homeland she had been away from for so long.
Sadly, the land had fallen, and all her family and friends were dead.
Even she herself was about to die.
