"If I truly sever all ties to the mortal world, and that day really comes, will you help me remember?"
"Help me rediscover this feeling."
"..."
Hearing his heartfelt confession, Key Smoke looked at him, seemingly having finally received a response.
Su Bei finally understood her intention. She still wanted to sever these emotions to pass the Heart Demon Tribulation, but she didn't want to forget him... No, she didn't want to forget herself.
He was relieved.
His relief at this moment wasn't due to the Saintess's actions. Instead, it was because the woman before him hadn't changed her feelings for him in the slightest, even though the red thread in his heart had broken.
Their feelings might have originated from that red thread, but they were not confined to it.
Imperceptibly, those feelings had become deeply etched into their hearts.
If that's the case, what is there for me to run from?
