'It's finally over!'
An unknown amount of time had passed.
Yang Xiao had purged every last Demon Thought.
By the time he finished, his own spirit was utterly exhausted, but at long last, it was over.
At that same moment,
Xue Yi's main consciousness was growing clearer and clearer.
The look she gave him...
...grew ever more gentle, brimming with affection.
However,
Yang Xiao didn't notice. His mind was currently flooded with Xue Yi's memories.
And after seeing these memories,
Yang Xiao's heart ached for this woman all the more.
Because her life had been one of immense suffering.
Her father died before she was even born.
By the time she was three, her mother was also gone.
At that tender age, she struggled just to survive,
even fighting wild wolves for scraps of food.
After she grew up, she was corrupted by the Evil Sword.
And because of her stunning beauty, she was constantly targeted by young masters from wealthy families who had designs on her.
