Li Ji heard Hua Manman's inner thoughts.
He never expected that the price for neutralizing the poison in his body would be to make Hua Manman's heart ache as if pierced by a knife.
And that reclusive master she mentioned, the one called the System, didn't seem to want him to live.
If the System and he were enemies, what role did Hua Manman play between them?
Judging by the fact that she would rather sacrifice herself to cure him, she had to be on his side.
At this thought, Li Ji's feelings were incredibly complex.
He had always believed himself to be strong, someone who didn't need protecting.
And he had always acted accordingly.
On the battlefield and in his daily life, he was always so domineering and overbearing that others kept their distance.
But ever since he met Hua Manman, she had helped and protected him time and again.
Li Ji couldn't help but ask.
"Why?"
Hua Manman didn't understand. "Why what?"
