Her heart stirred. Just as she was about to take a step forward, a cold sword suddenly appeared in her palm. She quickly swept behind her like lightning, and the cold sword that could break through all obstacles were easily blocked by a finger.

Yun Jinxiu slowly opened his eyes wide. His normally calm mind was now blank.

Gong Liche...

How could it be him!

It seems like last time, he said that he would keep her away from him and then, he met her so unexpectedly …

The wind wrapped him and her hair. It was so messy that it felt like thoughts.

All the sounds in the surroundings seemed to have disappeared …

Yun Jinxiu looked at him in a daze, and actually forgot to react for a moment.

She only thought that life and every decision it made were all so wonderful. Just like how she had always been aiming for the fire spirit, she never thought that she would meet Gong Liche here.

His cold heart suddenly felt as if it had been struck by something. It was sour and trembling.

He didn't look too good. His clothes and lips were covered in blood. Even his furry ears were stained with blood.

Only his bright glass-like eyes were still as brilliant as ever.

"Heh …" After being stunned, Gong Liche suddenly laughed, and then said in an evil and wanton manner, "It's you."

Yun Jinxiu held onto the cold sword's hand and slightly loosened his grip: "It's me."

Obviously, the heavenly soul's fox had already had a deep impression of her, although this impression shouldn't be a good one.

"Didn't I say to stay far away?"

If he hadn't recognized her, she would have been reduced to smithereens by now.

However, this woman was truly everywhere. Why was he always meeting her these days?

Yun Jinxiu lifted her eyelashes slightly and looked at him: "You're injured."

"So, you still have a chance to escape." He retracted his hand with a look of superiority on his face.

Yun Jinxiu raised his hand to feel the bones on his wrist.

Gong Liche suddenly paused, and looked at her with an unfathomable gaze.

"Probably, only my cardiac blood has some effect on you." As if she were talking to herself, she spoke slowly.

Gong Liche slightly narrowed his eyes.

Yun Jinxiu took out a white porcelain bowl from the space bag, and immediately raised up her palm. A small dagger appeared, and with a flip of her wrist, she stabbed it into her heart.

The blood slowly dripped down the dagger's edge, and all the sounds in the surroundings seemed to have disappeared. Only the sounds of the blood dripping into the porcelain bowl were left, like the sound of rain falling on a lake of heart.

Gong Liche was slightly shocked as her gaze fell upon Yun Jinxiu's calm face. Her dagger pierced the heart, but the woman did not even bat an eye.

"Here."

All of a sudden, Gong Liche saw her small, pale hand. It was actually as bright as the white porcelain bowl, and the blood in the bowl was a little too red to look at.

The him who was used to killing, would he find this color dazzling?

"Human, don't act as though you understand this reputed one very well!" He pushed her hand away and turned around shakily, "Damn, how could I be pitied by a mere human!"

"It's not pity!"

Gong Liche turned around and sneered at her: "If it's not mercy, then what is?"

Yun Jinxiu withdrew his fingertips, "... I don't want to see your blood. "

Gong Liche suddenly laughed at him. "Yun Jinxiu, are you feeling sorry for me?"

Yun Jinxiu was startled. She fell silent for a moment, then placed the bowl on the ground and turned to leave.

Instead, her actions gave him an inexplicable fright. He suddenly spoke up, "Where are we going?"

"Stay away from you!"

"…"

"Drink the blood." She spoke without turning her head.

"Stop." He was a little angry.

She ignored him and continued on her way.

"Yun Jinxiu, try taking another step forward!" Somehow, he had been provoked into a rage by a human!

The corner of Yun Jinxiu's mouth twitched.

A heavenly soul's fox was even more difficult to deal with than a earthly soul's fox.

It was he who kept her away, and it was he who brought her closer.

She paused, then turned around.

Only then did he glance at her with satisfaction and pick up the bowl of blood. He then took a casual sip and his pale lips were dyed red. It was shocking, yet also astonishingly beautiful.

"What are you doing in the tribulation valley?" He lifted his chin and looked at her lazily.

Yun Jinxiu said indifferently: "I have something to say."

"What is it?"

"…" Wasn't he asking a little too much?

"Speak, what request do you have?" He had the expression of an otherworldly expert.

Yun Jinxiu looked at him suspiciously: "What request?"

"Since you gave me your blood for no reason, I will naturally agree to your request as compensation." The more he drank, the more he felt at ease in his heart. Humans are so attentive, they're just trying to get something from him.

Although he was too lazy to involve himself with humans, but … It wasn't impossible to make an exception once in awhile.

Yun Jinxiu was startled, and then said after a long silence: "Then let's do it properly... "Alive."

His eyes suddenly shook.

Yun Jinxiu looked at him and said in a slightly gentler voice, "I only have this one request."

Before she found the Soul Lamp, as long as he was alive and well, everything would be fine.

Seeing him not saying a thing, Yun Jinxiu was stunned for a moment. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going." It was getting late, and she still had to hurry back to the academy.

Gong Liche suddenly regained his senses, wagged his tail, and arrogantly said, "Disappear before I kill you."

Yun Jinxiu raised her hand, and the cold sword appeared. She casually placed the recovery talisman array on the ground, and once the array formation was completed, it started to shine brightly as Yun Jinxiu walked in.

Since he was in front of the heavenly soul, and his life was at risk, shouldn't being far away be the wisest choice?

Just as Yun Jinxiu was about to disappear, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled her out.

With a "weng" sound, the formation dissipated. The corner of Yun Jinxiu's mouth twitched as he looked at the culprit, and his brows slightly knitted: "What are you doing?"

Gong Liche replied matter-of-factly: "Nothing, I'm lonely, and need someone to accompany me."

Yun Jinxiu, "..."

Lonely?

He seemed to be very busy during the day.

"Next time, don't fight in the void." she said coolly.

"If you are worried about my injuries …"

"Causing me to have a home that I can't go back to." She gave him a cold look.

Gong Liche, "..."

"You've been holding my hand for a long time." Yun Jinxiu said indifferently.

Gong Liche looked at her hand and said matter-of-factly: "Don't you think that it's a great honor?"

"I don't think so." His palm had always been warm, but at this moment, it was bone-chilling cold.

"You can think of it that way now."

Yun Jinxiu looked at him, slightly speechless.

He also looked at her. This was the first time he looked into a human's eyes. It was pitch-black and as pure as a gem. No matter who it was, they would not be able to maintain their most basic peace upon seeing him.

It was probably because his name was so famous that it was always terrifying.

She was so calm that it made him angry, and in the next instant, her eyelashes moved, and he laughed. His gorgeous face was close to her soft little face, and he breathed out like a lotus, "Do you want to discuss human nature with me?"
