704 A Goddess & A Devil (1/2)

This time, she didn't have to see the same mirror room. This time she was standing in a very familiar place. It was so familiar that it even made her heart feel at ease. The place she stood at was the cemetery she first opened her eyes as Bai Xiu.

The image of Destiny's soul had changed. Now, she looked exactly how even Xiu remembered it. The young rebellious teenager that tried to play the adult's game but ended up falling all on her own.

'This is where I took my last breath.'

Xiu's heart shook violently. ”Did you kill yourself?”

Destiny looked up at Xiu and smiled as she shook her head, 'No. I just made a wish. I just wished that somehow someone saves my mother and I'd be willing to exchange my own life to atone for my crime.'

”It wasn't your fault,” Xiu couldn't help speaking up. She could feel Destiny's pain right now. Her every emotion was piercing her heart as well. How could she not know it wasn't her fault?

Destiny sat down beside Carina Novell's gravestone and looked towards the sky as she said, 'It wasn't your fault either. Why did you think of taking your own life? You didn't do anything wrong then why did the one to die was you?'

Xiu chuckled self-deprecatingly. ”I was just tired of living between sanctimonious hypocrites. Death to me was just a door to freedom. But no one knows how many times I had to kill myself before reaching that door.”

'Do you know there is something very common between us?'

Xiu quirked up her brow inquisitively, ”What?”

'We both ran after the wrong things in life. You ran after love and acceptance, I continued to chase the revenge.'

Xiu laughed out but rather sadly before she looked at Destiny and asked, ”What happened? How did you die here?”
