Then he realized that she might not love him at all, but the power he could give her.

"But what she wants is not that. She is very ambitious. I began to notice that she was stealing glances at books containing forbidden spells. " His voice became very low, "Speaking of joke, at that time I had already guessed what she was thinking... After all, after travelling for so long, how could he still be the God of Death who didn't know anything … "It's just that I don't want to believe it …"

"Later, when she pushed her cursed ribs into my chest, I wasn't surprised at all. I know that Emma has always been a woman who has always been more ruthless towards others, but I also didn't think that she would unhesitatingly choose to use her own ribs to place a curse on herself. "

They sat side by side on the ground. As they spoke, the silver moonlight fell on him, as if it were also coated in a layer of dark blue.

She leaned her head against her knees, half closed her eyes, and looked at him seriously. Suddenly, she asked, "So, do you hate her?"

"I don't hate him." Luo Si's tone was extremely indifferent: "This is her own choice, there's nothing to hate."

"Have you ever regretted it? Have you ever regretted losing everything because of her? " she asked again.

This time, Luo Si was quiet for a long time. After a long while, when Tang Xiaotang thought that he would not answer this question, his voice suddenly sounded.

"No regrets."

"Don't you regret it …" She was staring at him in a daze, some emotion flashed past her eyes, but before he could see clearly, she had already quickly turned her head: "It's late, Master Luo Si, quickly rest."

"What about you?" He had a nagging feeling that she was about to disappear. Her pale face made him feel inexplicably stifled in his heart.

"I …" You don't have to worry, I'll stay here with you. " As she spoke, she sat down on her knees and looked at him. "Please rest first."

Luo Si was worried, he had a bad premonition, but seeing that she was insistent, he said: "You sleep too, you look really bad."

"Is that so?" Tang Xiaotang laughed uneasily. She couldn't see her own face, and in order to prevent the curse from affecting her own soul, her soul had actually already left her body and could not feel the pain of her body. However, one could guess that her expression was no different from that of a ghost's.

"Yes, you must rest well."

"Alright."

They were lying on top of a pallet with their backs facing each other, sharing a worn out set of clothes. The night was very cold, and Luo Si felt the body behind his shivering, her entire body ice-cold without a single trace of warmth.

"You …"

"I'm fine!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by her. Seemingly feeling that she spoke too quickly, she continued, "Don't worry, Master Luo Si, I'm fine."

Then there was silence between them again.

He always wanted to find a topic to talk to her about, but he didn't know what to say. She folded her arms around her shoulders and curled into a ball, taking up only a very small space.

"Master Luo Si, can I ask you another question?"

She said "you" and not "you". Luo Si felt that she must ask some very important question, and became serious for some reason.

"Sure."

"You … "Do you like me?" Her voice was very soft, barely audible, but he heard it.

He was silent. He didn't know, he really didn't have the strength to experience love again, but he was also inexplicably sad.

"Just a little?" She was very persistent, but he didn't respond.

Even though she had already left the body halfway, Tang Xiaotang could still feel the emptiness in her heart.

"I'm sorry." He finally said that he couldn't give her any false promises, and that he could pass away at any moment now.

"No, it's alright, Master Luo Si, you can rest."

After she finished speaking in a low voice, she fell silent.

He couldn't feel her breath. If it wasn't for the faint sound of breathing coming from behind him, he would have thought that she was dead … Perhaps it was because of the curse, but once again he felt a wave of fatigue wash over him. In his half dream, he could vaguely see her quietly sitting in front of him.

The moonlight of that night seemed to have caught the cold from her body. It was so cold. He seemed to see a little sparkle on her face, but she never made a sound.

After another night, her face became even paler, and under the sunlight, she could almost see the blood vessels under her skin. However, she insisted that she was alright, and even if Luo Si wanted to advise her to rest, she was still unwilling.

The curse had already been shifted more than half to Tang Xiaotang's soul. Another day, another day, she would be able to pull out the bone in Luo Si's chest, and completely remove the curse from his body.

However, her own expression was getting worse and worse. On the road, Tang Xiaotang had seen her face through the water, and it wasn't her fault that she could see the flaw in her expression. Her expression wasn't like that of a healthy person with sunken eyes or a pale face, and her pupils were even darker and darker.

Her fingers were ice-cold, no, not just her fingers, her entire body was ice-cold. Tang Xiaotang didn't even dare to stand too close to Luo Si, afraid that he would sense an abnormal icy aura from her body.

Tang Xiaotang was wrapped in a long cloak that she had found in a house and wrapped herself tightly within it. It was not only to cover her body from the cold, but also the most important thing. The pattern of the curse had already spread from her chest all the way to her neck, arms and legs, covering her entire body. This was something that Luo Si absolutely could not see.

The only thing that was gratifying to Luo Si was that his situation was getting better and better. He no longer suffered under the attacks of the curse, but because the host body for the curse was still inside his body, he was still unable to use his abilities.

Tang Xiaosi was lying under a tree, looking tired. "She wanted to sleep again. Although curses wouldn't harm her soul, they would consume a great deal of soul power. Moreover, this world had its own suppression to her soul, so she couldn't muster up the energy to do so.

Closing his eyes tiredly, Luo Si went to investigate the situation nearby. Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Xiaotang decided to take a break.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, her consciousness began to drift away, gradually losing all sense of what was happening.

"Wake up …" "Wake up, are you alright …"

The ethereal voice seemed to come from the horizon, Tang Xiaotang frowned, and her mind became clear very quickly.

What was going on with her? Why did he sleep so soundly?

She opened her eyes and saw Luo Si's skeletal face. Even though no emotions could be seen from it, Tang Xiaotang could still feel that Luo Si was concerned about him.
