Chapter 21

“I’m sorry, Yunxi, I was too selfish. I should have left you when you said you didn’t want to remember the grudges of your past life.”

Jay’s body became increasingly faint, his fingers resting on my face as light as feathers.

“But it’s been four hundred years, and I’ve missed you so much. I couldn’t bear to let go. Please don’t blame me, okay?”

“Silly, how could I blame you?”

My tears fell uncontrollably, passing through his body and landing on Tianxu Terrace.

Jay smiled, a soft golden glow beginning to emanate from his body:

“At least I did one thing right. Your power is strong now. Promise me, don’t let those people hurt you again.”

“And if possible, forget about me and live well, okay?”

“No… Jay dear!”

My vision blurred with tears, futilely trying to grasp the halo,

“Jay dear, don’t leave me. We haven’t married yet, we haven’t married…”

“Jay dear–”

Golden light scattered across my face, my embrace empty.

…

“Little ghost, don’t be too sad.”

Qing Xuan, having watched enough of the scene, chuckled,

“I’ll soon send you and Jay to dust together.”

“All ghosts heed my command, within a hundred miles, form a net of ghostly power, don’t let her escape.”

Du’e, Bixia, and others quickly reacted, shouting:

“Disciples of all sects, Jay is dead, join us in vanquishing Yunxi, this evil ghost!”
