These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

It's not just about being in sync, but about being of one mind.

She stood behind the boy.

"And now?"

"We were indeed destined to be together, but once we realized that, we had to part ways."

Wei Tu said with a smile, saying such sad words, but his tone was surprisingly light.

Bai Youwei chose to sit next to Wei Tu, and together they looked out over the valley.

The area was shrouded in mist, with birds occasionally flying by.

It flaps its wings, leaving behind feathers.

"I told you I would leave sooner or later."

Wei Tu nodded. "Yes, I remember. So there's really nothing to say. It seems like I've already said what I needed to say."

Bai Youwei sighed.

"Yes, I've said everything that needed to be said."

It seems that when it's time to part, the words that should be said are impossible to utter. All those farewell quotes that I had carefully prepared are now completely forgotten.

Wei Tu smiled.

"Where should we begin?"

Bai Youwei thought about it.

"Let's go to Beixuan Prefecture first, and then we'll talk about it when we're closer to the Northern Region."

"Well, don't be too nervous. Things will only progress once you get to where you're supposed to be."

"Are you sharing your experience?"

"That's it."

I glanced at Wei Tu's profile. This young man's expression was always so calm, as if even my departure couldn't change it.

Forget it, that's just how it is. I already knew that all along.

The reason I said that is...

"Ok?"

"It's because I'm really afraid you'll die over there."

Bai Youwei turned her head to the side at the boy's sudden words.

Wei Tu looked into her eyes.

"I'm afraid you'll die, afraid we'll never have the chance to meet again. Because I've missed so much in the past, I'm especially afraid of missing out and having regrets now."

"I……"

Suddenly, Bai Youwei was unable to utter a single word.

Wei Tu took her hand and whispered.

"So no matter what, no matter how things turn out, don't die. I'm selfish; I haven't finished dealing with things here, so I can't go to the Northern Desert with you, but I can't keep you here because of my selfishness either, so I'm entrusting this to you. As long as you live, everything will be alright."

The girl stared at him blankly, tears streaming down her face.

She nodded vigorously.

"Ok!"

37. Remember me a little more.

Birds will fly over thousands of mountains to reach their own ends of the earth.

But those who wander always yearn to return to their hometown.

"How embarrassing! I haven't even left yet, and I'm already missing this place, missing the Abyss Sword Sect, missing Snowview Peak..."

Leaning on the boy's shoulder, Bai Youwei spoke softly.

Perhaps this was one of the rare times she had shown such gentleness towards this young man.

Do not be jealous, do not envy, do not complain, do not resent.

It seems that all that remains now is the thought of leaving, and the endless sorrow of parting.

It seems that Bai Youwei only now understands the weight of parting, which is not just about leaving a place and saying a temporary goodbye to everything here.

Every time we part ways, we must be prepared to never see each other again.

Wei Tu felt Bai Youwei's fluttering hair fall on his face, gently brushing against him, but he didn't feel itchy at all.

He smiled gently.

"It's okay, I'm the only one who knows. I guess in the eyes of all your junior sisters, you're still very dashing."

Bai Youwei wrinkled her nose.

"No, that's not true... She was crying before."

"...Is that so?"

Wei Tu looked ahead, while Bai Youwei turned her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, and looked at the slightly twitching expression on Wei Tu's face.

Are you making fun of me?!

"How could this be... Pfft..."

"You couldn't hold back anymore!!"

Bai Youwei waved her hand. Although she was a cultivator at the Dragon Slayer Realm, she seemed no different from an ordinary weak woman when it came to fighting this young man. She could only wave her small fists, which were completely useless as she swung them at him.

The blow wasn't too hard, but what's worse, the other person grabbed my hand and forcibly pulled me into their arms.

Suddenly, I felt like the prey that had been captured.

Then I leaned against his chest, listening to that familiar heartbeat.

I've forgotten when it started, but I became so familiar with his heartbeat and his scent.

It's like... eating and sleeping, a familiar and natural feeling that makes you feel at ease.

Wei Tu's expression, however, did not show the same turmoil as the young girl's; he remained as calm as ever.

Speak softly.

"I'm laughing because I didn't expect you to have such a cute side."

"So in your eyes, I've always been unruly, willful, and unreasonable?"

"you know too?"

"you……"

"Hahahaha... Of course not, do you want to hear what you're like in my eyes?"

Bai Youwei didn't answer, but the way she stared intently at the boy said it all.

So Wei Tu began to narrate in a soft voice.

"From the first time we met, I knew you were someone who kept a lot on your mind."

"why?"

“It’s very simple… Our first conversation was on the Sword Training Ground, when the people from the Lu Chen Sect arrived. But before that, your image in everyone’s mind was always cold and aloof, with a natural distance and chasm. But you became interested in some of the things I said, and these things weren’t just about cultivation. I sensed at that time that you had a different story.”

"So the flaws were revealed so early?"

"Not really, at least other people might not be able to tell, but I can."

"So you're a freak... and what else?"

Wei Tu thought for a moment, then gently rubbed the girl's hair, which was a little messy from the wind; some strands even stuck to her lips.

His fingers would gently brush against her lips, and the girl would naturally blush, but Wei Tu did not do anything more presumptuous.

Instead, they began to recount their story in detail.

"Then, there was the mission to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain together. At that time, I realized that your purpose was different, because a woman like you should be proud and arrogant, how could you do something that seemed so boring and simple. At that time, I was very wary of you, doubted your identity, and even felt that you might be an uncertain factor in that trial, and might ruin things."

Bai Youwei nodded gently.

"I still became the factor that caused the bad thing."

"It's not really because of you. After all, your background is something that can't be changed, and there are some things you can't predict."

"And then what happened?"

"Later, we somehow got in touch and encountered those things. What surprised me was that you never thought of giving up. You were so strong, unlike a proud girl who would collapse when faced with a hardship that almost destroyed her life."

"You mean that snake..."

Bai Youwei remembered something, including that enchanting event that had made her blush and sweat profusely on countless nights.

Wei Tu nodded. "You survived, we survived, and we survived together. At that time, I felt that maybe there was some kind of fate between us... Later, as I expected, you became adorable."

"Cute?"

Bai Youwei frowned slightly, seemingly still instinctively resisting such words. Although she couldn't help but feel happy and even overjoyed, there were other awkward emotions filling her heart.

Wei Tu nodded.

"Of course it's cute. Look at how you want to distance yourself from me, but you can't help but touch me. You want to appear strong, like you can handle everything on your own, but in the end you have to accept my help. Don't you think that's cute?"

Bai Youwei felt her cheeks getting hot.

It wasn't just because I was shy, but also because I felt somewhat ashamed.

"When you say that... I just feel ashamed."

It would be best if one could bury their entire body in the boy's chest.

Wei Tu obediently hugged the girl's head.
