Jin Yi sat on the stone bed, the beast skin in his palm already twisted out of shape.
The firelight within the Witch Cave cast flickering shadows across his chiseled features. A storm of complex emotions churned in his golden eyes.
"Jin Yi, you need to think this through."
Jin Cang earnestly advised, "Don't think the pain of separation is temporary. You need to ask yourself if you can bear seeing her only in memories for the rest of your life. For the next one or two hundred years, can you truly endure the agony of never seeing her again?"
The words of his Father Beast struck his heart like a heavy hammer.
The mere thought of it sent a sharp, stabbing pain radiating from his chest.
'Could he accept never seeing Wanwan again?'
'The answer was no!'
He flung aside the beast skin he had been clutching. The fear of losing her forever ignited a courage within him to break through any obstacle.
'He wanted her. He wanted to be with her forever!'
