Zhu Yan stared at "Ji Wushuang" in a daze. She was obviously a young and tender soul, but he could see her weariness, fatigue, world-weariness and indifference.

Of course her soul is strong, and her will is naturally tenacious. If she were not strong and tenacious, she would not have been able to cross the void rift and come here.

But the strength of her soul was meaningless.

Because she has no favorite things, no one she cares about, and no favorite scenery.

It's like she's... born with something missing, born unable to sense anything.

Even if she wanted to learn, no one or anything around her taught her these things.

Zhu Yan stared at the "incomplete body" of "Ji Wushuang" for a long time, and suddenly sighed, stretched out his hands to put her head back on his shoulders, and collected the "arms", "internal organs" and other things that fell into the Nether Sea with her.

Ji Wushuang blinked in surprise when he saw his missing "module" return: "Wow, you're amazing! Where did you find it? Is this your reward? Don't worry, since you found my body for me, I will definitely protect your Nether Sea."

Zhu Yan's face was tense: [Shut up, don't talk.]

[Okay.]

【…】

Zhu Yan asked "Ji Wushuang" to sit in front of him and pieced her body together piece by piece.

"Ji Wushuang" opened her phoenix eyes and watched for a moment, occasionally giving one or two pointers.

[This piece, is this piece spelled wrong? ]

【Hey, hey, hey, be gentle. 】

[Why do I feel like the more you piece things together, the sloppier you become. Hey, hey, hey~]

[Please be gentle! This is my little heart! ]

……

Such nagging made Zhu Yan numb. He raised his eyes and stared coldly at "Ji Wushuang": [If you keep arguing, I'll fight you!]

“Ji Wushuang”: [……]

Okay, she shut up.

Fortunately, Zhu Yan's craftsmanship was quite good. After patching the body together, "Ji Wushuang" finally had a complete corpse. She smiled softly: "Thank you."

Zhu Yan lowered his eyes, looked at the ugly scars on her body, and asked: [Is it a demon?]

Yes, that's right.

[The remaining demonic energy here is much stronger than yours. Why would you go against her?]

"Why is that? It's just bad luck."

【…】

After "Ji Wushuang" tried to move his body, he turned around and smiled brightly at Zhu Yan: "Thank you. Whenever you want to leave, I'm always ready to take over."

Zhu Yan said calmly: [Wait a little longer.]

【OK. 】

After Zhu Yan said to wait a little longer, "Ji Wushuang" really patiently waited with him.

But there is nothing on the shore of the Nether Sea, everything remains unchanged. They watch the falling snow together on the shore of the Nether Sea, and count the snowflakes together out of boredom. When he gets interested, "Ji Wushuang" will even practice sword by removing his own arm.

When Zhu Yan first saw "Ji Wushuang" remove his arm, his expression was as shocking as it could be, but he gradually got used to it...

The main thing is that "Ji Wushuang" removed her left hand and then her right hand, focusing on achieving a balance between left and right. In the end, she asked Zhu Yan to sew them back together for her.

Zhu Yan went from being "shocked" at first to "getting used to it", and finally even showed a helpless expression.

Every time this happened, "Ji Wushuang" would smile and say, "Hahaha, when you leave in the future, I'll need some self-protection skills too. Practicing sword skills is always helpful."

Because during this time, they met another "lost person" who had mistakenly entered the underworld.

This guy is much more powerful than "Ji Wushuang". He almost treated "Ji Wushuang" as a biscuit and crunched it in one bite.

After that, "Ji Wushuang" began to practice swordsmanship. Her breath gradually became long and deep, and even faintly synchronized with the frequency of the Nether Sea.

Because she knew that after Zhu Yan left, she would have to take up her responsibilities. Not to mention guarding this place, at least she would not be swallowed up by those messy "lost people".

Zhu Yan was silent for a long time, then dug a handful of soil from the edge of the Nether Sea and gave it to Ji Wushuang: [Take it.]

【What's this? 】

Zhu Yan was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind. [When you return in the future, I will find someone to refine this life sword for you.]

[?] "Ji Wushuang" looked up in confusion, [But didn't we agree that I would take your place?]

[Are you really going to replace me? ]

[Of course, even though I'm weak, I can still deliver a blow.]

Zhu Yan quietly looked at her calm face, a strange feeling welling up in his heart. He asked softly: [What if I said I could send you away? You can go back without paying any price... Are you still willing to keep your promise?]

"Ji Wushuang" chuckled, sat down on the edge of the Nether Sea, and stretched his legs into the Nether Sea.

This time, her bare feet slowly raised the water on the sea surface, leaping sporadically.

Amidst the splashing water and drifting snow, she turned back and smiled at him, "Look, Minghai has already accepted me, so go ahead..."

Zhu Yan: [……]

Ji Wushuang looked at him through the mist that rose around him and said softly, "I no longer have any ties to the world. Zhu Yan, you... are the last promise I leave behind... I won't be the one to break my word."

"Ji Wushuang" from its birth to now.

Never been loved, never been cherished.

Her hands were covered in blood, and her soul was entangled with countless curses and sins...

In fact, she is tired of this kind of life and hates herself like this.

She heard countless people curse her before they died.

—Heaven-Ci City's executioner! You shall not die a good death!

—Do you think the Ji family loves you? You're just a pawn! You're just a blade! One day you'll be abandoned! One day you'll be cursed by everyone!

——You will not die well!

——You will die a miserable death!!!

She had thought countless times that words indeed had a powerful and mysterious power that could pierce people's hearts.

Maybe she really is a coward?

But fortunately...

At the end of her soul, she can also be a person who keeps her promises.

Zhu Yan's gaze pierced through the mist and saw "Ji Wushuang". In her small body, he saw her efforts to connect with the world, as if as long as she kept her promise to him, she would be able to retain a little beauty and attachment to the world.

She.

I am trying very hard to not live as a tool or a sword.

She wants to be a "human"...

A living "person" who is connected to the world and keeps his promises.

Zhu Yan's heart trembled slightly, and an unspeakable emotion spread silently. After a long, long time, Zhu Yan finally understood what this emotion was...

——The almighty God softened his heart for a moment.

——Give the universe and spiritual resonance.
