"Now I understand, Mrs. Qin didn't actually want to make wishes. She didn't understand spirits and could only see me as a demon. She thought if she made a wish and I fulfilled it, it would hurt my mana. Helping her fulfill her wishes would come at a cost to me. She didn't do much for me, yet I had to repay so much; it wasn't worth it."
"She was a good person, a pure person who did good deeds without expecting any return."
"But at that time, I couldn't understand why there were such good people. Good people aren't always rewarded. In this world, there's no karma. Good people don't live long and happy lives just because they've been kind, and bad people don't suffer disaster because of their misdeeds. My predecessors always taught me not to be such a good person."
"Especially not to be the kind person who, although weak, can give so much to others."
