"I, I'm dying."
Lin Fan's voice was weak, and he collapsed limply into Chu Zi's arms.
Chu Zi had never seen him like this before. How could the guy who was usually so lively and whose strength was unfathomable suddenly be on the verge of death?
"Don't scare me!"
Chu Zi immediately panicked.
Lin Fan gave a bitter laugh, blood still hanging from the corners of his mouth. "Didn't you always want to kill me? Now you don't have to lift a finger."
Chu Zi instinctively shed two streams of tears. "I won't allow you to die... No, I won't allow you to die on your own. You must be killed by my own hand while you're alive, boohoo..."
"Sorry, I'm afraid that won't happen."
"Cough cough!"
Lin Fan spat out another mouthful of blood.
His voice grew weaker. "Little Saintess, when I die, the restriction within your body will be automatically lifted. Then you'll be free to roam the heavens, with no one to restrain you."
"You can choose to go to the battlefield to help your fellow disciples, or you can choose to stay in Luofeng Village and live in seclusion... cough cough, you're free."
Chu Zi's face was streaked with tears, and she shook her head repeatedly.
She recalled the past. Although Lin Fan was detestable, always meddling with her, and even placed a restriction on her, he hadn't truly done anything bad until now.
Instead, he had treated the villagers for free. He didn't seem like a bad person at all.
She had wanted to kill Lin Fan, holding onto this obsession.
However, when Lin Fan was truly on the verge of death, she couldn't face it or accept it.
She asked herself, did she truly wish for this guy to die?
Chu Zi shook her head, her mind in turmoil.
"Boohoo... Lin Fan, I don't want you to die. I won't allow you to die... Do you have any last wishes? Tell me, and I will definitely help you fulfill them!"
She sensed Lin Fan's life force gradually weakening.
"Cough cough."
Lin Fan coughed twice. "Can, can you… kiss me?"
"???"
A barrage of question marks instantly flooded Chu Zi's mind. This guy was almost dead, how could he still have the leisure to think about such absurd things?
No!
It was then that she noticed Lin Fan wriggling in her arms, his hands also incredibly unruly!
"You pervert!"
Chu Zi pushed Lin Fan away directly, her pretty face flushing crimson, filled with extreme anger.
"If you don't want to kiss, then don't. Why be so violent?"
Lin Fan instantly returned to normal, his complexion also regaining color.
"You big liar!"
Chu Zi glared at him, wishing she could tear him into a thousand pieces.
Lin Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Big sister, I really did sustain internal injuries. You should be able to sense it. If my cultivation realm wasn't so high, I would have died long ago."
Without another word, Chu Zi turned and left.
This damned guy not only took advantage of her but also deceived her sympathy and tears. He was absolutely unforgivable!
Lin Fan tried to stop her. "If you go, you'll die too. Why bother? If you die like this, would you be worthy of your late master?"
Chu Zi stopped upon hearing this, hesitating for a moment.
Lin Fan was faking his death to trick her, but the vision of the future wasn't a lie.
If she didn't go, many people in the Black Witch Sect would die, but a spark would remain, preventing the sect from being annihilated.
If she went, she would no longer have guilt in her heart, but it would bring about the destruction of the Black Witch Sect.
Faced with such a dilemma, Chu Zi didn't know what to do.
"As long as the green hills remain, there's no lack of firewood."
Lin Fan patted her shoulder. "The Black Witch Sect's destiny has run its course. No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain."
"It's better to preserve your life. When you've cultivated successfully, you can return later, destroy the White Witch Sect, and avenge your fallen disciples."
"Boohoo..."
Two streams of tears traced down Chu Zi's cheeks.
She turned around, hugged Lin Fan helplessly, and sobbed loudly.
Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl had finally come to her senses.
When Chu Zi finished crying, Lin Fan's clothes were soaked.
She looked up, her innocent eyes fixed on Lin Fan's gaze. "You will help me avenge myself, won't you?"
"Perhaps."
Lin Fan's mood was heavy. The tree wishes to be still, but the wind does not cease. Such karma!
Chu Zi gritted her teeth. "As long as you are willing to help me get revenge and destroy the White Witch Sect, I will be your woman. You can do anything you want with me!"
Lin Fan smiled but didn't reply.
Who would agree to such a losing deal?
Besides, he wasn't a businessman and disdained such dirty transactions.
Seeing his silence, Chu Zi assumed he was unwilling to agree and began to unbutton her clothes.
"Stop! That's not what I meant," Lin Fan reprimanded.
Chu Zi said tearfully, "You, you don't want to help me get revenge?"
Lin Fan shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just troublesome. We need to take it slow."
"I can wait! As long as I can destroy the White Witch Sect, I can wait ten or twenty years!" Chu Zi said resolutely.
She then lay down on the sofa.
"Xiao Fan, come on!"
"???"
Lin Fan was a bit bewildered. Was this girl not understanding him, or was she doing this on purpose?
Even if I really wanted to do *that*, you'd still have to lose your virginity mark!
Chu Zi looked at the red mark on her arm and chuckled.
She finally understood. This guy was afraid of death.
"I gave you a chance, but you weren't capable enough. You can't blame me."
"You still have to help me avenge our Black Witch Sect."
Chu Zi slowly buttoned up her clothes.
Once she knew why Lin Fan dared not touch her, she became much bolder.
Chu Zi knelt on the ground, facing west, with her hands clasped together in front of her chest, chanting words.
Lin Fan knew that this girl was mourning her fallen disciples, doing her part.
He didn't disturb her and turned to walk out.
Chu Zi had appeared strong in front of him earlier. This kind-hearted girl must be extremely distressed with so many fellow disciples fighting to the death outside.
"Sigh~"
Lin Fan sighed, realizing that life is never perfect, and from ancient times to the present, so many things are simply helpless.
He walked into the courtyard and happened to meet Xia Xue and Luo Qiqi returning.
"Xiao Fan, how is Miss Chu Zi?"
"You pervert, did you bully Chu Zi!"
The two girls had completely different attitudes.
Lin Fan smiled wryly. "It's nothing. She was just missing her deceased family. I've already comforted her."
Luo Qiqi cast him a suspicious glance and hurried into the house.
After spending a few days together, her relationship with Chu Zi had grown stronger.
Of course, this was before she knew Chu Zi had almost killed her and her grandfather.
Xia Xue didn't ask further when she saw Lin Fan unwilling to elaborate.
She understood Lin Fan's character and knew he wouldn't do anything bad.
"Xiao Fan, I met someone on the road who said they had something to give you."
Xia Xue held a package in her hand, which hadn't been opened yet.
Lin Fan was puzzled. He hadn't bought anything. Who would send him something?
Upon opening it, he burst into laughter.
Inside was a medical practice license, a health permit, and other related documents, along with a device that could swipe medical insurance cards.
"Old Cai is quite efficient!" Lin Fan praised the air.
