Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

A chilling despair overwhelmed Lady Rose like a tidal wave.

She huddled in the corner, enveloped in the shadows cast by the lamplight on the tables and chairs, her body trembling uncontrollably, like a withered leaf on the verge of breaking in the biting cold wind.

At this moment, every tiny breath she took carried the stinging pain of surviving a disaster, and every heartbeat was a drumbeat reminding her of the fact that she had just crawled back from the brink of death.

At this moment, Madam Rose realized with absolute clarity that she had completely lost Lin Bei's trust.

That hope that once existed has been destroyed by her own hands.

This belated realization was like a dull knife repeatedly cutting into her heart.

It's too late, everything is too late.

Tears and regret streamed down her face.

However, even at this moment, Lady Rose had not yet recovered from the fear of almost being killed.

But she still managed to stand up, leaning against the corner of the wall.

She had to tell Lin Bei the whole story, word for word, about this matter that should have been simple but had become complicated because of her concealment and self-righteousness.

This is not just to beg for forgiveness, nor is it just to salvage the shattered image she had in Lin Bei's heart.

It was still her final responsibility, the insignificant, and final act of atonement for the bitter fruit she had sown.

As for whether she lived or died after she did that thing.

Will he pull her out of this quagmire of despair, or will he ruthlessly abandon her?

She had no complaints whatsoever, nor did she have any right to complain.

Regardless of the outcome, it was all her own fault.

This is the price she has to pay for her scheming.

At this moment, she didn't even dare to hope for too many possibilities of "life".

However, determination is one thing.

Not everyone's body and will can be in harmony.

The fear of death that Lin Beifang had just brought had, like a maggot clinging to a bone, deeply burrowed into Lady Rose's marrow, gnawing at every inch of her nerves.

The suffocating feeling of impending death, the overwhelming power, the sense of insignificance and powerlessness as if facing death itself.

A vast, intertwined shadow pinned her firmly to the spot.

Even after she stood up, she still found it difficult to take a step.

His legs felt as if all the tendons and bones had been removed, limp and powerless.

Each attempt to move only resulted in more violent tremors and a deeper sense of powerlessness.

Lin Bei's gaze fell on the trembling figure in the corner, who seemed to be persisting in something.

His brows furrowed again, as was his habit.

He admitted that for a moment just now, he had indeed...lost control.

I couldn't help but hit it a little harder.

However, he can't be entirely blamed.

Since arriving in the Demon Slayer world, he has basically never interacted with normal people.

Even a seasoned master like Urokodaki Sakonji, who has integrated breathing techniques into his daily breathing, is no exception.

Or it is a demon with super regenerative abilities, almost immortal.

Even Tanjiro Kamado, who had just begun his training, possessed a tenacious will and unleashed potential far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Having been in such a high-intensity environment for too long, Lin Bei had almost forgotten how to "control" his power to interact with ordinary people.

Especially for a frail woman like Lady Rose.

So he subconsciously ignored it.

They overlooked the fact that Lady Rose was just an ordinary woman with no physical strength.

This oversight, this uncontrolled outburst of power, almost killed her.

No, not almost.

Lin Bei knew that he had actually killed her once already.

The throat was crushed to pieces; under normal circumstances, the person would indeed be dead.

But he reacted quickly enough, immediately channeling his pure yang energy into her, forcefully pulling her back from the brink of death.

This is thanks to the amazing function of Yang energy.

The repair effect is immediate and leaves no lasting residue.

Moreover, the nourishment from the Yang energy made her complexion and skin look better.

And what's the big deal? He almost died!

Is she really that scared?

Like a rabbit pinned down by a tiger, its soul seems to have flown away in fright?

At this moment, I'm unconsciously relying on empiricism again.

He overlooked a cruel and fundamental fact.

Not everyone is like him, someone who has died twice.

He was already used to dancing on the brink of death; death was no longer mysterious or frightening to him.

But Lady Rose was different.

For her, death was a cold, dark, and terrifying abyss of absolute end, an eternal nothingness from which consciousness dissipated.

Lin Bei, who had just pushed her into the abyss and then pulled her back.

At this moment, in her eyes, he was nothing less than a death god in human skin, a terrifying being who could arbitrarily control her life and death.

She didn't completely break down and scream in front of him, nor did she hysterically run away; she simply curled up and trembled.

This level of composure is quite "strong" for most people.

Looking at Lady Rose, who was so terrified that she could barely stand up and speak, was quite a sight.

Lin Bei couldn't help but mutter a slight complaint to himself.

"His mental fortitude is too fragile; he's nowhere near as strong as Tanjiro."

"Tanjiro was just a teenager, yet he was still able to fight back fiercely against Giyu Tomioka when faced with the murder of his entire family and Nezuko turning into a demon."

"If Lady Rose had half of Tanjiro's mental fortitude, I don't think she would have ended up like this."

Despite his inner grumbling, Lin Bei understood that Tanjiro was the protagonist of the Demon Slayer world.

It's not something an ordinary person can pull off a staged accident.

Lady Rose was just too incompetent; she had only grown older and gained two lumps of fat.

Given the current situation, he can't get anything out of Lady Rose anymore.

We can only let her take it easy for now.

However, although Lin Bei had doubts about Urokodaki Sakonji, he was not in a hurry to do so.

Although Lin Bei felt a moment of panic when he heard Lady Rose say that she had been seducing him in every way because she was instructed by Urokodaki Sakonji.

After all, given Urokodaki Sakonji's strength, Lin Bei felt it would be very dangerous for him if someone really wanted to harm him.

However, he quickly calmed down.

If Urokodaki Sakonji really wanted to harm him and harbored ulterior motives.

Then why bother sending him down the mountain, abandoning what's near for what's far?

While on the mountain, Urokodaki Sakonji had countless excellent opportunities to make his move.

Given Urokodaki Sakonji's strength, dealing with him at that time wouldn't have required much effort at all.

Why did Urokodaki Sakonji wait until now, and why did he have to use Lady Rose to scheme against him?

"What you said before."

"Regarding the matter of Urokodaki Sakonji instructing you to seduce me."

Lin Bei's voice rang out in the room, so quiet you could hear the dust settling on the floor, carrying a cold calm.

"I still have some questions that I need you to answer."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the still slightly trembling shadow.

"However, because of the 'accident' just now, I know you are a little emotionally unstable right now."

Lin Bei paused for a moment.

"Okay, I'll give you one night to sort out your feelings. I also need to rest for the night. Tomorrow morning."

Lin Bei's tone was clear and certain, leaving no room for doubt.

"Let's talk this over again. Tell me exactly what that sentence meant."

After saying that, Lin Bei didn't linger. He turned around and found an empty side room. He threw all the bags and packages he had brought back onto the corner floor with a dull thud.

Although the time between accepting the bounty on the Eye-Eared Ghost, killing the Eye-Eared Ghost to complete the bounty, and then finding Lady Rose was not long.

But there are still many things to do.

So even Lin Bei was somewhat tired.

All he wanted to do at that moment was lie on the Simmons bed and let his aching body get a moment's rest.
