well , at least he didn't get hurt . even though he xuan was the one who took the fall , it really wasn't anything serious . and even if he did get hurt , he will be fine in a moment or two . unlike the flustered god before him .

he lets out a heavy breath as he fixes his cold composure . he glances at her . however , he couldn't find the right words to say to her . but there is one thing that is certain —

`` then i won't . i'll let you die . ``

he stares at her for a moment , the silence between them was deafening despite being in bustling marketplace . the vicious darkness in his expression doesn’t fade — if anything , it deepens .

blinks , the way his gaze no longer held any emotion .. for a moment her carefree attitude faltered . unsure on how to reply to this however she still found her words.
" next time you see me in danger,don't help "she replied gently,not exactly giving him

he takes a small sip and hums as he registers the taste . well , it is definitely one of the better wines he had .
