On her first trip down the mountain, Xie Xuese gets shaken down by so-called righteous people. The one who comes to her rescue is none other than the infamous demon, Xu Xunji.
Xie Xuese judges friends by their actions, not their reputations. She pesters Xu Xunji until they become friends.
Together they watch the sunset and ride through the jianghu, living freely and avenging wrongs. They have a wonderful time.
One ordinary night, after the lights go out, neither of them falls asleep right away.
Xie Xuese says, "Xu Xunji, I have a secret to tell you."
Without even opening her eyes, Xu Xunji says, "Go ahead."
Xie Xuese: "Actually, I'm not human. Heaven sent me to save all living beings. I'm a great hero."
Xu Xunji laughs so hard she can barely breathe.
Xie Xuese laughs along with her.
Together, they laugh in the darkness until they can hardly breathe.
Xie Xuese seems to say something else, but Xu Xunji is too sleepy to notice.
Much later, Xu Xunji realizes that Xie Xuese had actually been crying that night.
She was sobbing so hard she could hardly breathe, whispering, "Xu Xunji, after I die, forget me."
Forget me. Don't grieve for me. Go on being the carefree, free-spirited, greatest swordswoman under heaven.

How could I ever forget you? Xu Xunji grits her teeth.
We were born to live and die together.
The bond between us is deeper than love.
If you live, I live. If you die, I die.
Xu Xunji arrives at the Sea of Sinful Turbidity with her sword in hand and cuts through the chains binding Xie Xuese. In a hoarse voice, she says, "You won't die."
"I'm taking you home."
Xie Xuese cries and shakes her head. "I can't leave."
Xu Xunji gives a mocking laugh and says, "Why do you think there are two places here?"
Xie Xuese stares blankly. "One for me, and one for the Yaoxue Saber."
Xu Xunji pulls her to her feet and plunges the Xunxin Sword into the ground where she had just been standing. "You idiot. The other place is for me."
"Xie Xuese, this is a bond bestowed by heaven."
"We were destined from birth to live and die together."
"I've come, so you don't have to stay here anymore."
"Let's go home."
