Arching an eyebrow, Ning Shu asked, "Do you truly hold no resentment toward me?"
"I don't. A confrontation between him and me was inevitable eventually."
"The two of you were involved in a romance where the woman is older, correct?" Ning Shu questioned.
Mei Ziqing: …
"Le Qing only appears youthful because of his age at the time of death, but his tenure as a task-taker actually exceeded mine."
Ning Shu: …
"If that's the case, why did he succumb to such temptation?" Ning Shu inquired, feeling perplexed.
Mei Ziqing lowered her gaze, chewing on a piece of dry bread. "Perhaps he simply found this existence unbearable. We constantly inhabit other bodies and improve the lives of others—but who is there to do the same for us?"
"He was willing to gamble on even the faintest glimmer of hope to escape these shackles. Or perhaps he had simply lived too long and no longer wished to continue."
Loneliness is the shadow of immortality. Because the span of time was so vast, it began to feel devoid of purpose.After a moment of reflection, Ning Shu asked: "Was your presence not enough to provide him comfort?"
She imagined two souls providing mutual support and encouragement to one another.
"Nothing is eternal, and love is no exception to that rule."
Turning her gaze toward Ning Shu, Mei Ziqing added, "Besides, love isn't the sum of everything."
"There was a time when Le Qing and I were truly in love, yet it shifted until he claimed to hate me. That is the nature of change. Uncertainty defines everything."
Ning Shu: …
This marked the second time someone had expressed such a sentiment to her. Certain experiences were merely fleeting beauties on life's path.
To possess it is a blessing; to lose it is simply destiny. Romance between task-takers was plagued by the exact same issues faced by ordinary mortals.Ning Shu decided that she currently lacked the luxury to wallow in thoughts of romance and heartache.
Her soul power was pathetic, she had yet to establish a world, and she hadn't gained enlightenment regarding any ordinances.
With so many objectives looming before her, getting involved with someone would require her to sacrifice time to be responsible for them.
The moment a relationship begins, that person becomes an integral part of your existence.
Ning Shu: Everyone, just scram...
It was exactly how Mei Ziqing had entered her life, just as she had entered Mei Ziqing's.
The result was this entire disaster within this plane.
Interaction inevitably leads to friction. From friction, complications arise. It was an inescapable cycle.
Would any of this have occurred if she had never crossed paths with Mei Ziqing? Not a chance.
Ning Shu preferred to satisfy her own needs rather than cater to others.
No one could ever match the loyalty or love she felt for herself.
Was her ultimate ideal actually self-love!?
Mei Ziqing’s internal organs had been damaged when Le Qing strangled her with the rope. She ended up vomiting the dry bread she had just eaten, and it was tinged with blood.
With a face as pale as ash, Mei Ziqing looked as though her time was running out.
Ning Shu and Lar set about collecting dry wood. Lar produced a small pot from his person and filled it with water.
After starting a fire and boiling the water, Ning Shu waited for it to cool slightly before passing it to Mei Ziqing.
Taking a sip of the warm liquid, Mei Ziqing smiled at Ning Shu and remarked, "Sometimes, you truly make a person's heart ache for you."
Ning Shu: Come again??
I'm the one who is pitiful? It seems to me that you're the one in a sorry state.
Ning Shu’s expression turned cold. "In what way do I make people feel heartache?"
"It's just a feeling." Mei Ziqing gave a faint smile, her complexion deathly white, leaving Ning Shu completely at a loss for words.
