Jiang Shouzhong wiped the bloodstains off his hands, walked to Qu Hongling's side, squatted down, and gently cleaned the blood from the corner of the girl's mouth, expressing his regret, "I'm sorry, I came late."
Qu Hongling's eyes brimmed with tears as she threw herself into the man's arms, clinging tightly to him as if afraid it was all an illusion.
Compared to the first time she saw her lover with a mix of surprise and guilt, this time she was truly overjoyed because she clearly saw the affection and love in the man's eyes, just as it had been back in Anhe Village.
"Jiang, you're not holding a grudge against me anymore, are you?"
The girl asked in a muffled voice.
Jiang Shouzhong gently patted the girl's shoulder but didn't speak.
Dugu Luoxue ignored the affectionate couple, walked over to Wang Luoyan's corpse, and gently lifted her hand.
The Demon Core slowly fell into the woman's palm.
