“I want to be with you, whether I’m alive, dead, turned into ashes, or end up as a vengeful spirit! I want to stay with you no matter what happens!” Qin Yu’er declared to him.
Zhan Kong remained still, lost for words.
Qin Yu’er had always been stronger than him when they were on the national team. Zhan Kong was ashamed of himself back then, so he always forced himself beyond his limits and acted like a fool.
Qin Yu’er had rebuked him in the same tone at that time.
He should be stronger than her now, yet she was still rebuking and criticizing him!
Zhan Kong grinned.
Facing everything together regardless of the circumstances. If only there was a second chance at life…
He promised Qin Yu’er they would face everything together. They would work hard, train, go on adventures, face hardships, fend off enemies, and even die together…
“Don’t come any closer,” Zhan Kong yelled when he saw Qin Yu’er heading toward him. “This Mantle, it will absorb any living flesh that touches it,” Zhan Kong told Qin Yu’er.
Qin Yu’er did not stop. She continued to walk toward Zhan Kong.
Zhan Kong quickly backed away. None of the experts of the Sacred City had forced him to back away, but he began to panic when he was facing Qin Yu’er.
“Let us go, together!” Qin Yu’er stated calmly.
“My kingdom of undead has no room for the living,” Zhan Kong protested.
“And you think the human world has room for all of the living?”

Absolutely not, especially those who were judged to be heretics by the Holy Judgment Court and Heresy Judgment Court. They would not find peace in any corner of the world. Even the deserted Tianshan Mountain was no longer a safe place for her!
What about the Kingdom of Undead?
Was Zhan Kong willing to live as a living dead while his consciousness was gradually being devoured?
He despised himself. The truth was, he had come to the Sacred City seeking a way out!
“If there is no longer room for us in this world, why are we still struggling so desperately?” Qin Yu’er had already reached Zhan Kong. Her eyes were tearing up like a melted glacier.
Zhan Kong remained still.
Qin Yu’er spread her arms. Zhan Kong did not react to her.
“If I let the Mantle take my life, my soul will be closer to yours. It’s just a greedy evil Mantle. If the Sacred City didn’t stop you, why would I let the Mantle stop me?” Qin Yu’er declared.
She reached forward and hugged Zhan Kong.
His undead body was bulky. Qin Yu’er only managed to fall into his chest when she tried to embrace him.
Zhan Kong’s hands were hanging in the air. The expression on his face was changing rapidly.
The Mantle had taken countless lives, and the soul of every life it had devoured was still within it. Those souls were fighting fiercely over Zhan Kong’s memories and consciousness.
However, when Qin Yu’er fell into his arms, Zhan Kong’s face had appeared under the initially empty helmet. He had reclaimed his flesh. He was no longer half-human and half-demon, with the presence of an undead.
“I want you to live!” Zhan Kong lowered his head and kissed Qin Yu’er’s hair softly. His face was full of tears now.
