“Changfeng.” The girl in red held the man's hand, her voice was trembling. “I have saved your life, so if I didn't let you die, you're not allowed to die! I haven't slept with you yet, who has allowed you to die? You must hold on for me. I'll find a way to save you, trust me. You have to trust me!”

The man chuckled with a softness in his gaze.

“Jiu'er, do you believe in… fate?”

“Our fate is not over yet, if we can be reincarnated, I will definitely reincarnate before you! In this way, I can speed up my cultivation and be stronger than you. In this life, you have always protected me, so in the next life, I will protect you for the rest of your life.”

“Jiu'er… but I can't let you go. Without me… are you going to live on dry food again? And wear the same outfit again in spring every year? What would you do without me taking care of you…”

Jiu'er and those girls in her backyard, they could not do anything, not even help in hiring some kitchen maids. So every time they would only purchase a lot of dried food to feed themselves. Without him…

Was his Jiu'er going to live like that again?

How could he let her do that?

But he had no other way to accompany her anymore.

The man's hand fell slowly as his breath became weaker. He looked worried and the vertical lines between his brows had faded.

But he did not regret it.

Whatever he had done for her, he would never regret it.

As long as she could live without any danger and even if it meant that he needed to give away his whole life, it was worth it too!

The girl wrapped her arms around his body, tightly, as if to hold him into her bone and blood until the man was utterly out of breath.

Suddenly, she lifted her head and looked at the skilled masters who were scattered throughout the sky. Her eyes gleamed with a fury that could destroy the entire world.

“You have killed my love… You have killed him…

“He's dead now. I'll bury the whole world buried alongside him!!!”

While holding the man in her arms with one hand, the young girl rose into the sky and rushed toward the enemies.

With her natural strength, she was not too weak to be defeated by enemies.

However, she was unable to bring out her full strength since she had someone in her arms.

After all, she still refused to leave him behind. Even if she was so severely injured, she would not let his body suffer from even a little bit more damage.

He had wondered how many times the scenes like this had happened in his dream world.

And that battle, which lasted for half a month, had not ended yet…

The girl's despair and grief were all vented and had turned into murderous intent.

When he first saw this scene in his dream, Nan Xian had tried to stop her, but his hand had penetrated into the girl's body and turned to nothingness.

He stopped making any move as the dream became more intense.

But each time it happened, the girl's grief made his heart feel like it had been stabbed hard. He wanted to take her into his arms and never let her face with such pain and danger again.

In that battle, all the mainland skilled masters who had come to besiege them were destroyed. The Ninth Emperor, too, had used up all her strength and collapsed beside him. She grasped his hand tightly…

Whenever the battle was over, Nan Xian still could not tell whether the Ninth Emperor was dead or alive. Then, he would start from the beginning, over and over, from the moment Nan Changfeng and the Ninth Emperor met for the first time until they became friends who protected each other.

He would be reincarnated in the dream world, again and again.

More importantly, the Ninth Emperor's face was identical to Feng Ruqing's. She would always appear in front of him and made it impossible for him to distinguish whether it was Feng Ruqing or the Ninth Emperor.
