A slim chance for survival?

　　Gu Ruoyun lifted the corners of her lips, “A slim chance of survival is better than certain death! At least there’s a chance for survival! Zixie, tell me where that path is!”

　　An exasperated voice rang out within her soul.

　　“Since you’ve made your decision, I will take you to the path I know so you have a chance at survival. However, you must be ready! This road is far more difficult than the trials and tribulations you’ve experienced in the past! If you fall, your soul will be destroyed!”

　　Her soul would be destroyed!

　　This also means that if Gu Ruoyun falls, she would no longer exist in this world.

　　Similarly, she would never have any chance of reincarnation!

　　“No matter the dangers in the road ahead, I have to try, right?” A light flashed in Gu Ruoyun’s eyes as she continued, “For him, I won’t have any regrets even if my soul ends up getting destroyed!”

　　In the Ancient Divine Pagoda, a twang of agony appeared in Zixie’s heart when he heard Gu Ruoyun’s statement.

　　In her past life, this little girl and Qianbei Ye had been rivals who had gradually grown attracted to each other everytime they fought. The feelings between the two had been nurtured after his many years of companionship with! Especially the rapport they shared, it had once filled him with jealousy.

　　Zixie had thought that he might stand a chance in this lifetime but he now realized that no matter how many lifetimes had passed, that silver-haired man was the only one in her eyes!

　　“Little girl, since this is what you want to do, you should boldly go ahead and do it whether it’s right or wrong! I will always choose to help you as long as it is something that you wish to do. Even if you choose to destroy this mainland one day, I will lend my strength to you.”

　　Zixie smiled with a hint of demonic air as well as a bit of warmth, “If you really do plan on risking your soul being destroyed for his sake, this time, I will also follow you and disappear from this world! We have always had a connection via contract. If you die, I die!”

　　“Zixie…”

　　A warm current coursed through Gu Ruoyun’s heart which made it tremble.

　　She owes Zixie too much in this month and she would probably never be able to return the favor for the rest of her life.

　　“Thank you, Zixie, you’ve done too much for me. Once everything is finished, I will absolve our contract and return you to freedom.” Gu Ruoyun smiled. “You’re originally supposed to be a phoenix who soars above the world, you should not have been tied down by anything at all. I have no grounds to confine you for the rest of your life. All I can do is to give you your freedom.”

　　“Little girl, don’t forget that when I’m helping you, you’re helping me as well. If it were not for our contract, my powers would never have been restored so quickly. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I should thank you too.”

　　Zixie’s voice rang out again as if he knows the apologetic feelings in Gu Ruoyun’s heart.

　　However, he did not know that his words created a deeper sense of guilt in Gu Ruoyun’s heart instead. How could she not know that this fellow had said those things so that she would not feel guilty in her heart? However, her debt for Zixie was more than just a small amount, it was too much!

　　If it had not been for his help, who knows how many times she would have ended up dead? One could even say that Zixie had risked his life to save her many times. That was why she was still alive now.

　　Gu Ruoyun did not say anything more but she had made a decision of her own. Once everything was over, she would restore Zixie to freedom so he would no longer be chained to the Ancient Divine Pagoda…
