The old gentleman stared into her eyes and said, "If you're willing to give me a strand of your soul, I can guarantee that you'll have another chance to return to his side in the future!"
Lin Banxia was stunned. She had no idea what a soul was, let alone that her soul could be extracted.
"Old gentleman, if I agree, what price will I have to pay?" Lin Banxia wasn't foolish; she could sense that the old gentleman was discussing this matter with great seriousness.
"Indeed, your price is that you won't live past the age of forty-seven..." The old gentleman spoke these words with a distinctly sorrowful expression.
Lin Banxia was even more shocked and asked nervously, "Is it true that I'm trading my lifespan to be with him?"
"You could understand it that way. In fact, I'm willing to help you two, but you need to bear the ancestral curse of our family." The old gentleman spoke solemnly.
"Why forty-seven?" Lin Banxia was curious.
