"Li Liu, we have been friends since the day we entered the academy, right? In the end, we still can't understand each other. Our deepest thoughts are so different!" Elena couldn't help but shed tears.

In Elena's heart, she really regarded Li Liu as her friend, her confidant. She didn't want to duel with Li Liu, but Li Liu's attitude was so firm. If it had to end, there was only one way!

"I leave the final decision to you, President!" Hanya slowly unsheathed "Cracked Cloud," and fresh red blood dripped, leaving a red flower on the icy blue mountain peak.

Without hesitation, Elena tore open her sleeve to bandage Li Liu's wound. Hanya didn't say anything when she saw this. She turned and left because she knew that the time ahead belonged to the two of them.

"No need!" Li Liu's eyes gathered with magic. Even if her limbs were sealed, it wouldn't hinder her!

"Can we ignore Qin Yang for a while and chat?" Elena's eyes did not avoid Li Liu's gaze, as if she had no fear of magic.

Time slowly passed as the two continued to stare at each other. Li Liu didn't use magic, and Elena didn't say a word.

"What do you want to talk about?" Li Liu sensed Elena's sincere desire and didn't continue the previous topic.

Elena released the chains that sealed Li Liu, and the two lay on the ground, gazing at the starry sky, counting the shining stars.

"Do you remember that star?" The president pointed to the bright blue star in the sky.

"Two years ago on Qixi, we met because of that star!"

"Yes, I thought it was my first Qixi in The Human Realm. I thought it would be a lonely night, but when I made a wish to the stars, I unexpectedly met you!"

"Do you still remember the story of that star?"

"I do. It's the story of the Dragon Lady and the Holy Dragon. The proud Dragon Lady, by chance, fell in love with the Holy Dragon. However, a great battle between gods and demons erupted. When the Holy Dragon embarked on the path to battle the Dragon of Demons, the Dragon Lady silently awaited his return. After the Holy Dragon and Dragon of Demons disappeared, the tears and longing of the Dragon Lady merged into a blue star, waiting for the Holy Dragon to return and pluck it. It is said in The Divine Realm that the Holy Dragon didn't actually understand love; he saw the Dragon Lady as a sister. It's quite tragic, isn't it?"

"It does sound tragic, but waiting for a man who doesn't love her may be her destiny. Her wish was to see the Holy Dragon return. From her perspective, it's not worthy of our pity."

"Everyone has their own story, and only from their own perspective can they see it most clearly, because only they know what they want. Perhaps from others' perspectives, their stories are clear, but it doesn't mean they know everything. Many hidden stories cannot be seen by the readers because they were never recorded."

"You're trying to persuade me that we can't guess what Qin Yang really wants. Only he knows best."

"You truly are my best friend, and you understand me completely."

"But..."

"There's no 'but'! How about we make a promise?"

"A promise?"

"We will stay by Qin Yang's side together until his true story unfolds. We will have a ceasefire. If Qin Yang chooses to live peacefully in the end, I will not hinder you. On the contrary, I will help Qin Yang find peace."

"Alright, if Qin Yang chooses a brilliant life in the end, I will assist him by his side."

"Let's seal the promise with a handshake!"

"Clap!" A girl's promise is steadfast and unbreakable!

"Is your shoulder still hurting?"

"It's fine, just a little blood."

"Hey! We're girls. How can we be so boyish when we're hurt?"

"Hmm? But I don't think girls should be weaker than boys."

"Agreed! That's why we can be friends, right? Because we're stronger than boys."

The two girls smiled as they talked about various topics that only girls could understand. Those who hadn't witnessed the war before would never have imagined that just a minute ago, they were fighting for their lives.

"You two are so heartless! You left me with this crazy girl and went to this place to watch the stars!"

"Qin Yang, how did you come here?" Li Liu looked surprised as I walked towards them with Qing in my arms. Qing was wearing a coat, and it was obvious that she was naked underneath.

"I didn't do anything! I just had a fight with this Lily girl! It was harmonious!"

"Yeah, it was really harmonious. Look at how messed up everyone is now!" Elena squinted her eyes and looked sourly at me and Qing in my arms.

"It's not my fault. It's just that using the power of darkness is difficult to control. I couldn't handle it well!" I said as if nothing happened. Indeed, using the power of darkness was not easy, after all, it was borrowed.

"Did you do it on purpose or was it just a coincidence? Only you know that. Li Liu is injured, use Light Magic to heal her!"

"It's easy to use Light Magic, but I think I can't use it. It seems that Dark Magic can't heal injuries."

"What kind of Magic does Dark Qin Yang have?" Elena was helpless. How could it be possible that there was no way?

"They are all powerful Magic, the kind that can instantly kill an Angel. But we can't use it in our current state."

"Never mind, Elena. I'll go find Mingxin later." Li Liu didn't want to trouble me anymore and voluntarily stopped the discussion.

"Hehe! Don't underestimate me, I have another way. As long as I upgrade the contract to a level two covenant, I can cure her!" Before Li Liu could react, I put Qing down and hugged Li Liu's waist with my left hand, kissing her passionately. Li Liu struggled a bit at first, but then accepted it willingly. Her cheeks were as hot as fire. Maybe the wolves from school would never see their icy beauty thawed like this in their lifetime.

Within a few breaths, the contract in Li Liu's eyes changed, and new runes formed a new covenant. The blood hole on her right shoulder quickly healed, leaving no trace.

"Wow, it's really well repaired. There's no sign of it at all!" I felt extremely proud as I looked at Li Liu's snow-white shoulder.

Li Liu blushed and covered her exposed skin, hiding behind Elena. Meanwhile, Qing, who had just woken up, turned her head and fainted again at the sight.

In a voice I couldn't hear, Elena quietly said to Li Liu, "Li Liu, honestly, you're more like your covenant with Dark Qin Yang than with Xiaobai! I wonder when Xiaobai ever showed a desire for a peaceful life?"

Li Liu silently nodded her head.
