Xia Hanmo's tears finally fell.
Crystal clear teardrops slid down her exquisite face. She was heartbroken, yet silent.
Ye Shu didn't say a word, just quietly listened to her vent her emotions, even though he had already guessed what Xia Hanmo was going to say next.
But he still listened, kept listening.
Like a mute stone.
After a long time, Xia Hanmo sniffled, wiped away her tears, and returned to her previous calm, unrippled state. She recounted softly:
"I thought about suicide, I really did."
"But you wouldn't allow it. You told me that these were necessary sacrifices, that the path to the summit is always littered with corpses. You promised me that when you finally reached the apex one day, you would use your supreme magic to resurrect those innocent people."
"So I foolishly kept working for you."
"Poisoning one person after another who opposed you."
"Until the day you ascended to immortality."
"You didn't resurrect anyone. You didn't even say a single word. You just quietly ascended all by yourself."
"I fell into despair, so I drew my sword and slit my throat."
"And then I woke up."
"Sitting in the small courtyard in Yuanyang Town, my right hand still resting on a patient's arm. Everything I just said hadn't happened."
"It was like... a dream."
"It's so absurd, you know?"
"The patients in the yard were still smiling at me, smiling and saying I was Xia Hanmo, saying that without me, they would have died long ago."
Xia Hanmo gave a tragic smile.
"I smiled back then, just like I am now."
"If they knew that the person who would later kill them was the very Xia Hanmo they were thanking at that moment, could they still smile?"
"I don't know."
"After treating the last patient, I closed the shop and sat alone in the courtyard for a long, long time. I thought I might have been reborn."
"At that time, I thought about a lot of things."
"Maybe I should have killed you beforehand. Maybe I shouldn't have saved you in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. You are a great demon, a huge bastard, the worst person in this world."
"But no matter how much I thought about it... those people all died because of me."
"I am the sole root of disaster in this world."
"All of this started because of me, so it would be better if I simply didn't exist from the very beginning."
"I can't control the Plague Poison Body."
"But I can control my own life."
"So the next day, I went to the river alone and jumped."
"And then... I was fished out by you."
After hearing this, Danxia and Xiaobai remained silent for a long time.
They would never have imagined that the reborn memories of the girl before them would be so tragic, yet she didn't blame anyone, nor did she use her reborn memories to do anything.
In fact.
In the plot Xiaobai had originally designed, Xia Hanmo did cause the deaths of many innocent people due to the outbreak of her Plague Poison Body, leading her to be spurned by countless people and branded a demonic woman by the world.
Then Ye Shu saved her in a critical moment.
When the world utterly despised her, only Ye Shu never abandoned her, showing no disgust at all, and even scoured ancient tomes to find a way to control the Plague Poison Body.
There was absolutely no mention of him using her.
This was her first time hearing someone completely recount their reborn memories.
It also made her realize the sinister nature of the system.
With just slight modifications to the original story, it painted a completely different picture.
The originally affectionate and righteous Ye Shu.
With a shake of its body, the system turned him into a cold-blooded, ruthless executioner.
How could this system be so evil?
Xiaobai frowned, then slowly relaxed. But it was fine now. Although affected by the system, Xia Hanmo was still the same Xia Hanmo, kind and generous. She had spoken out about her reborn memories herself, so as long as one wasn't an idiot, a little comfort would untie the knot in her heart.
With Ye Shu's emotional intelligence, it should be a breeze, right?
Ye Shu's performance indeed did not disappoint her.
He was seen stroking his chin, tilting his head in thought for a moment, then suddenly staring at Xia Hanmo's face and speaking with utter sincerity.
"Since you're going to die anyway."
"Can you let me have some fun with you before you die?"
Xiaobai: "?"
Danxia: "?"
Are there still human beings in this world?
Xia Hanmo's eyes widened instantly. Her previously calm and even slightly deathly pale face broke its composure in an instant, replaced by disbelief and deep shame and anger.
She had thought of many possibilities.
That this guy would comfort her.
That he would trick her.
That he would make empty promises to keep her from dying.
She just never thought of this possibility.
Her face was a bit red, and she was very angry.
Why didn't she notice in her past life that this guy was a shameless scoundrel? Feeling ashamed and annoyed, Xia Hanmo still squeezed two words through her teeth:
"No way."
"Oh..."
Hearing this, Ye Shu nodded in slight disappointment.
What the heck are you disappointed about?!
Xiaobai on the side finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She jumped onto Ye Shu's shoulder, grabbing his neck and shaking him back and forth. "You guy with a head full of dirty thoughts! Go to hell!"
"Ugh... bleh bleh bleh..."
Ye Shu was choked until he was dizzy.
It took him quite a while to recover.
He patted his throat, then sat up straight and said slowly, "Actually, there's a reason I said that."
"What reason?" Xiaobai was taken aback.
Could it be... to snap Xia Hanmo out of that lifeless state?
Even Xia Hanmo stared at him with some curiosity.
Ye Shu straightened his back and spoke with a straight face: "Look, you're going to die anyway, right? So you might as well make some contribution before you die. It's your first time, and it's my first time. It would be a shame to just die like this."
"Besides, I saved your life."
"You guy..." Xiaobai gritted her teeth and leaned into his ear, "How is it your first time?"
"It's my first time with her."
Ye Shu said this without blushing or skipping a heartbeat.
Meanwhile.
Xia Hanmo lowered her head and stopped talking. She seemed to really be thinking, and then she nodded.
"I think I should change my mind."
"See."
Ye Shu raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Xiaobai.
However, before he could take off his clothes.
Xia Hanmo suddenly raised her head, grabbed a rock she had just found on the ground, leaped up, and smashed it toward Ye Shu.
"I shouldn't commit suicide."
"I should beat a menace like you to death, and then jump into the river, restoring peace and clarity to this world!"
"Holy crap!"
Ye Shu jumped up in fright and hurriedly ran in circles around a tree stump, shouting as he ran:
"Murder!"
"Murder!"
Danxia floated in the air, looking at the two of them, and couldn't help but shake her head.
"What a pair of star-crossed lovers."
