Xie Ningyuan was helpless, but the situation was too urgent to delay. He could only try his best to persuade her.
"Didn't I tell you? The method I used to seal it this time is vastly different from before. The Heart Demon has also been weakened. Even if I use more power now, the seal won't necessarily break..."
Lu Sangjiu stared at him. "Won't necessarily? That means it's still possible."
"Xie Ningyuan, have I or have I not told you that you need to stay alive for me? I don't want 'won't necessarily.' I need you to be certain you'll live!"
Seeing her determined gaze, Xie Ningyuan was rendered speechless. 'How can I tell her that it might be truly difficult for me to stay alive?'
It wasn't that he didn't cherish his life. It was just... his feelings were impossible to suppress.
As he stood there in a daze, Lu Sangjiu gently placed a hand on the back of his.
"Xie Ningyuan, trust me."
At this moment, Lu Sangjiu no longer hesitated, her gaze resolute.
