Bai He felt a deep pang of pity.
Such a good girl and yet she had been tormented by a demon to this state.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Hua Xuedie bowed her head slightly to Bai He. "Thank you."
Every word was heard by Sima Qian, of course, but he never imagined that Hua Xuedie would see him this way.
"Xue'er, I truly like you."
"I know you like me, but I cannot accept your love. I am just an ordinary person. I don't want to be with you. Please leave me alone. Let me be the one at fault, alright?"
Tears covered Hua Xuedie's face.
Perhaps she had loved before, but now, all she felt was fear.
"Xue'er, we were once so in love. Why did it come to this? Is it because… I am a demon?"
Hua Xuedie answered honestly. "Yes, it's because you are a demon. If you were just an ordinary person, no matter how ordinary, I would be with you. But you are a demon. That's impossible."
Bai He could understand what Hua Xuedie meant.
Demons were otherworldly to humans.
