Xi Yan Xingxuan frankly admitted to killing Tu Shanjing. This news was like a bolt from the blue, which made Xiling Jiu Yao heartbroken. She couldn't understand why her brother was so cruel. With anger and sadness intertwined, she uncontrollably raised the sharp blade and pointed it directly at Xi Yanxuan's vitals. Xi Yanxuanxuan was shocked, but also confused and sad. He never expected that his sister would hate her because of love. Although he struggled hard, he finally chose to give up resistance and let the tip of the knife penetrate his skin, staining his clothes red with blood.
Xi Yanxuan, who knelt on the ground, was full of confusion and unwillingness. He murmured to himself, expressing his deep love and confusion for Xiling Jiuyao, why falling in love with each other turned out to be hurt. Xiling Jiuyao held the trembling handle of the knife, and her heart was as sharp as a knife as she listened to her brother's confession. Xi Yan Xuanxuan even covered the blade with his hand, trying to go to hell with her. This determination made Xiling Jiu Yao collapse and scream. The grandfather heard the sound and rushed to stop the tragedy in time, but Xiling Jiuyao read the despair in her grandfather's eyes that saw everything. It turned out that they already knew the truth. She broke down and asked, and in the end she could only sit on the ground helplessly. Tears fell like a fountain.
As night fell, my grandfather walked into Xi Ling Jiu Yao's room and comforted her with sincere words, saying that Xi Yan Xingxuan's mistake was just a thought, and hoped that she would not fall into the abyss of hatred. After Jiu Yao heard this, she was disheartened and her trust in the family was gone. She asked her grandfather why he was here, with tears in his eyes. Grandfather sighed and mentioned that his parents had sacrificed their lives for the sake of the world, and advised Jiu Yao not to use personal grudges to bring disaster to all the people. Later, my grandfather ordered strict supervision to prevent accidents. Jiu Yao sneered and said that she had been imprisoned by the nine-tailed fox demon for thirty years and was not afraid of being imprisoned again. If it prevented her from taking revenge, it would be better to take her life now. Grandfather shook his head helplessly, turned and left, leaving Jiu Yao alone, licking her wounds in the night.
The old King of Xiyan isolated Xiling Jiuyao and Xiyan Xingxuan and strictly prohibited them from seeing each other. However, Xuanxuan cleverly passed a key to Jiuyao secretly by sending wine and mulberries. When Jiu Yao was playing with mulberries, she accidentally discovered the key and used it to unlock the shackles that bound her. Jiu Yao, who was free, decided to go to Phoenix Forest, which was the place of memories she shared with Xuan Xuan. In the depths of the Phoenix Forest, she indeed saw Xuanxuan. Their eyes met, and it was difficult to describe. Jiu Yao thanked Xuan Xuan for the key and laughed at herself that she had been trapped all her life and never thought that the key could be used to unlock the shackles imposed by her family and her brother.
Xuanxuan tried to mend the cracks with her childhood swing. Although Jiuyao agreed, her heart was full of cracks. She sat on the swing and slowly told her brother Xuanxuan in her heart, the innocent image that had disappeared with the death of Tu Shanjing. Later, Jiu Yao stepped off the swing and said frankly that she had fantasized about spending her old age with Xuanxuan, picking flowers and swinging in the Phoenix Forest, but now, all of this has been destroyed by Xuanxuan's actions. She announced that since Xuanxuan killed Tushanjing, she would also fulfill her vow of revenge.
Xiyan Xuanxuan quietly agreed to Xiling Jiuyao's determination. She handed him a phoenix flower and admitted that the flower contained poison. Xuanxuan took it without hesitation, tasted the nectar, and Jiuyao also drank it, vowing to live and die together. The two sat side by side, tasting the poisonous phoenix flowers one by one. However, Jiu Yao unexpectedly became poisonous first. Xuanxuan hugged her weakly and asked if she would be so decisive if Tu Shanjing harmed her. Jiu Yao shook her head, saying that Tu Shanjing knew his position in her heart and would never let her suffer the slightest pain. Xuanxuan felt remorseful and apologized to Jiuyao, blaming herself for treating her as a pawn. Jiu Yao gently wiped away his tears and expressed that she had forgiven everything. Xuanxuan asked if she would choose herself if time went back. Jiuyao vomited blood before she could answer. Xuanxuan suddenly realized that there was no poison in Jiuyao's flowers, and she only sacrificed herself to protect herself. Jiu Yao passed away with a smile on her face, and Xuan Xuan hugged her cold body, tears of despair bursting out.
