Anyway, it's not you. Shi Sheng swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
Although his personality was too annoying, she couldn't deny that he was a person.
"Why can't you accept me?" Xinglan asked again.
Shi Sheng tilted his head. "You don't like me controlling you, and I don't like you controlling me either. But one of us has to compromise …"
You can be strong, so strong that everyone is afraid of you, but that's only when you're outside.
When two people are together, one of them has to be weak. They have to give in and obey unconditionally, instead of plundering and possessing.
Obviously, they were in a situation where they both wanted the other to be weak, so it was impossible for them to be together.
"We're both in the dark, and I want a ray of light." A ray of light that was only for her.
Shi Sheng took a deep breath and drew out a sword. Xinglan's gaze fell on the sword. It wasn't that sword …
No wonder she didn't react after so many days. Was that sword not with her?
Without that sword, she didn't seem as strong as she thought.
However, when the sword came, Xinglan knew he was wrong. That sword was powerful, but it depended on who was using it. Even without that sword, she was still not to be underestimated.
Xinglan wanted to dodge, but when the sword came, he changed his mind and let the sword pierce into his body.
They looked at each other in silence.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
After a long time, he took a step back and said, "We don't owe each other anything."
He couldn't destroy her, nor could he get her so easily.
So, he chose to leave.
This was the result of a night of calm thinking.
Xinglan turned around and walked down the mountain. His blood stained the ground red. His feather robe swayed, and his figure gradually became blurry.
Clang. The Iron Sword fell to the ground. Shi Sheng looked into the distance expressionlessly. His calm eyes reflected the red light.
"Tigress, are you okay?" Xiong Sanmei was standing beside him. She asked carefully, "Northern Wilderness King …"
"Don't mention him to me." Shi Sheng's cold voice interrupted Xiong Sanmei.
Xiong Sanmei didn't dare to utter a word. After a while, she said, "Ruyue is making a big fuss. She's … locked in the back. We can't let her out."
Xinglan used force to suppress the troublemaking orcs. She occupied the Shi Sheng for a long time and locked up the most troublemaking orcs.
When Shi Sheng followed Xiong Sanmei there, Ruyue cried herself hoarse. The orcs beside her couldn't comfort her no matter how hard they tried.
They were all locked up in a cave. Shi Sheng discovered that Xinglan was using an array formation. Although the beastmen couldn't sense spiritual energy, the array formation wasn't limited and was effective against the beastmen.
Xinglan was probably a direct descendant of the first batch of Demonic Beasts that came in.
Shi Sheng silently let them out and left with Ruyue in his arms. The other orcs looked at each other.
Later on, the orcs realized that whoever dared to mention the Northern Barren Queen would be in trouble. After that, no orcs dared to mention the Northern Barren Queen in front of the Shi Sheng.
…
After being trapped for a month, the spider web below began to fade in the evening. The red light disappeared and the white light was restored. However, the white light didn't disappear. Countless tentacles grew out and the whole ground began to shake.
The ground sank. Even if Shi Sheng's mountain was protected by the talisman, it couldn't do anything.
Ruyue grasped Shi Sheng's hand tightly. "Chief, I'm scared."
Shi Sheng squatted down and touched her head. "Run with them. Run as far as you can."
"Chief, what about you?"
Shi Sheng took out a silver wristwatch and put it on Ruyue's wrist. After activating the defense mode, he said slowly, "I'm leaving."
Ruyue didn't understand. "Chief, will you come to me?"
"No." Shi Sheng stood up. "We won't see each other again."
Maybe …
"Why?" Ruyue grasped Shi Sheng's hand tightly. "Chief, why don't you go with us?"
Shi Sheng smiled. "I don't belong here."
Ruyue looked at her blankly.
Ruyue still remembered her beautiful smile many years ago. It was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen.
That smile was frozen in time.
…
The mountain behind her completely sank. Shi Sheng slowly walked in the direction where the Iron Sword disappeared.
With every step she took, the silver light splashed and rippled.
The tentacles danced around her, but they didn't dare to approach her.
She walked to the mountain where the Iron Sword disappeared. The big pit was still there. Above the big pit, the Iron Sword was suspended, as if it was waiting for its owner to come and greet it.
The red light on the Iron Sword hadn't faded away. The upgrade hadn't been completed …
Shi Sheng sighed and called down the Iron Sword and put it into the space.
She took out the black tablet, found a place to sit down, lowered her head, and began to click on it. She couldn't kill men and women to destroy the plane. The Iron Sword couldn't be used either. She could only rely on advanced technology.
The red crescent moon that disappeared quietly appeared and condensed into a big red crescent moon above Shi Sheng's head.
The red crescent moon finished condensing. The people below didn't seem to notice it. It circled around at a strange speed.
A few drops of blood suddenly splashed on Shi Sheng's tablet, blurring the jumping data on it.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky.
Shi Sheng stared blankly at the person in her arms. Her mind went blank for a few seconds.
The feathers spun from the air and fell down. The sound of the whole world disappeared. Everything disappeared except for the person in her arms.
Xinglan reached out and stroked Shi Sheng's face. Her eyes were full of affection. "If you have to compromise alone, I admit defeat."
He admitted defeat.
Xinglan tried to force a smile.
He remembered the first time he saw her. Even the raging fire couldn't hide her proud figure.
Even though he kept telling himself in his heart that he was interested in her ability and not her person, the thought of imprisoning her grew like weeds.
That one glance was eternity.
She was eternity to him.
I'm willing to be the light in your darkness. I'll walk with you through thorns and loneliness. I'll do whatever you say.
Xinglan's hand fell limply. Her eyelids slowly closed, and her head tilted to the side.
Shi Sheng woke up with a start and reached out to support her head.
Her eyes widened. It seemed like something was about to rush out from the depths of her eyes.
The crescent moon hit her back, but it shattered instantly as if it had hit something hard.
"I … don't need you to block for me."
Shi Sheng didn't realize that his hands were trembling. The last progress bar on the tablet under him ran out.
[Destroy? Yes/No]
She moved her finger and clicked on the 'Yes' option.
Shi Sheng hugged Xinglan and repeated his words. "I don't need anyone to block for me."
The sky collapsed, and everything was buried in darkness.

The 38th plane ended.
