Since the system became my girlfriend

58!

Sheena's attack dealt nearly sixty points of damage to Su Rui, but this was nothing to Su Rui, whose health was already over a thousand, especially since he had a priest named Feng Lixi following behind him.

Even after acquiring a full set of good equipment, Su Rui's stats were still quite impressive.

Since Xena had already rushed in front of him, Su Rui didn't have much time to cast spells. He simply cast a Corrosion spell on Xena's head and then began melee attacks with his dagger.

-52!

-69!

-145! (Breakthrough Mark triggered)

Two damage numbers appeared. Su Rui's mixed damage effect was very good. Each attack could deal more than 100 damage. Moreover, since he was equipped with a dagger, his attack speed was very fast, so his output was quite amazing.

With the added effect of the Spellbreaker Cloak, Su Rui can deal damage equal to 10% of the target's maximum health every fifteen seconds, so this dagger strike is almost as powerful as a Shadow Bolt!

After just a few rounds, Sheena's health was almost depleted. After all, she was just a rare elite. Apart from having more health, Sheena's other attributes were almost no different from those of a normal monster.

"Ding! You have killed Sheena! You have gained 122 experience points!"

With a system notification, the undead Xena collapsed at Su Rui's feet, and a phantom figure rose from her body—Xena's soul.

"Thank you, mercenary, I'm free now..." Sheena's spirit said to Su Rui.

"You're welcome. I'm just doing this for someone else," Su Rui said with a smile.

"Did he send you?" Sheena asked.

“Yes!” Su Rui nodded, knowing that the “he” that Sheena was referring to was Maxi.

"Can I ask you for a favor?" Sheena asked.

"Go ahead and say it," Su Rui nodded.

“My body will soon decompose and dissipate. Please take the ring from my hand back and give it to Maxi,” Sheena said to Su Rui.

“Okay!” Su Rui nodded; this was his mission objective.

"Thank you, mercenary!" After saying that, Sheena turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared. At the same time, her physical body also rapidly disintegrated, leaving only a few remnants in the blink of an eye.

Su Rui picked up the ring. It was an ordinary silver ring with Sheena's name engraved on it. It was a token of love between her and Maxi. Although it was not expensive, it was very meaningful.

"Let's go back!" Su Rui said, holding Feng Lixi's little hand.

“It’s so sad that they never got to see each other,” Feng Lixi said.

“Perhaps… this is fate…” Su Rui sighed, then said nothing more, and returned to the fishing boat dock with Feng Lixi.

As soon as Su Rui returned, he saw Maxi still standing at the end of the pier, facing the sea, motionless.

Hearing Su Rui and Feng Lixi's footsteps, Maxi turned around, looked at the two of them, and asked in a dry voice, "She... is she free now?"

"Hmm!" Su Rui nodded. He wanted to say something to comfort Maxi, but he didn't know what to say, so he handed over the silver ring.

"Sheena..." After receiving the silver ring, Maxi stood there, stunned, calling out Sheena's name as tears streamed down his face.

"Sigh!" Su Rui and Feng Lixi both sighed, but at that moment, the silver ring suddenly flashed, and Xina's soul reappeared!

"Merciful God! Sheena, is it really you? Or am I hallucinating?" Maxi stared blankly at Sheena's soul. After about ten seconds, he finally reacted and pounced on her, trying to pull her into his arms. But unfortunately, Sheena was just a soul at this moment, and Maxi's arms passed right through her ethereal body.

Seeing Max's pained expression, Sheena felt deeply saddened as well. Unfortunately, now that she was only a soul, she could no longer share Max's tears.

“Fate has been so cruel to both of us, my love. Although we are now separated by death, we have been reunited,” Sheena said to Maxi.

“I hate this damn fate, I don’t want this reunion!” Maxi roared in anguish.

“Fate has already been decided, and your hatred is useless now…” Sheena said with a bitter smile.

“My love, do you hate me? I had no choice but to let them destroy your body, because only in this way could you be permanently freed from the pain.” Maxi said to Sheena with a guilty look on his face. Although it was Su Rui who did it, they were, after all, just mercenaries.

“My dear, don’t be sad about this. You freed me from endless suffering and torment, and I will only love you more for that.” Sheena looked at Max with tenderness, and after a brief pause, continued, “It’s just a pity that this reunion is so short. I am just a poor woman, an ordinary peasant woman. My soul cannot remain long after losing its body. Soon, I will completely dissipate…”

“Death…I am not afraid, I am only sad that I will never see you again…” Sheena tried to stroke Maxi’s face, but her hand passed right through Maxi’s head.

“No! Sheena! No, don’t leave me…” Maxi cried out.

“I don’t want to leave you either… but… goodbye, my love, my Maxi… I hope we can be lovers again in the next life. I will love you forever…” Xena waved to Maxi, and then her soul vanished into the world.

"Sheena! Don't go! Don't go! What will I do if you leave... Without you, how can I have the courage to live alone in this world full of pain..." Maxi lunged forward desperately, trying to pull Sheena back, but his arms only managed to lift her for a moment before she had already disappeared.

“Maxi…” Su Rui stepped forward at this moment. In the situation just now, he and Feng Lixi had both stepped aside.

"Mercenary...can you do me a favor?" Maxi asked silently.

"What kind of help?" Su Rui asked.

"Take this back to the village and give it to my father..." Maxi took a sword from his body and handed it to Su Rui. This was their family heirloom sword, which he had used to kill countless souls, but in the end, he could not save his lover.

“Okay! I will pass it on to the village chief,” Su Rui nodded.

"Ding! Mission updated!"

"Ding! You have gained 1650 experience points, 5 silver coins, and 50 copper coins!"

"Ding! You have won the Heart of True Love!"
