Xia You extended her hand and grabbed Yue Kong's, saying, "Promise me, if there's a chance, just go, you must go. When the time comes to sacrifice, even if it's the Chi Snake, you must give it up without looking back. Otherwise, you're doomed. Yue Kong, promise me, now, immediately!"
Yue Kong's face contorted, his voice hoarse with emotion, "If that's the case, and you and the Chi Snake are both gone, then what's the difference between me and the dead?"
Xia You clenched her hand tightly, giving his a squeeze, "There is a difference, as long as you are alive, you can continue to breathe, to live."
"If you don't promise me, I will die with my eyes open, stop arguing with me, there's no time left."
Xia You cut off Yue Kong's attempt to argue and said resolutely, "That's the deal, you must listen to me!"
A choking sound emerged from Yue Kong's throat, as if a lump of phlegm was stuck inside it.
"Yue Kong, I know what you're thinking."
