"When we were in the primal forest, you left me behind once. We promised to face life and death together, to always stay together. That time, you forced me to leave, sacrificing your own life to give me a chance to live. Are you going to do the same thing again this time?"
Ye Lu's voice was sorrowful.
"I don't want to go through that kind of life-and-death separation again, not knowing how much it tears at my soul. Without you, even if I live, do you think I'd be happy? I would never be happy. My heart would die along with you. I don't want to always be protected behind you, watching you trade your life again and again for mine. If you can do it, then so can I. I can use my life to save yours."
