"All these years, you've endured so much."
Ying Xiaoxiao softly, with a catch in her voice, gently spoke to Li Hao.
Li Hao shook his head slightly and said softly, "As long as I waited for you, it was all worth it."
Ying Xiaoxiao looked up, and the two embraced, gazing into each other's eyes. Although they hadn't been together for long, Li Hao could see in her eyes emotions that seemed to have condensed over countless ages.
Earlier in the Southern Domain, Li Hao didn't have much chance to speak, but now, he asked:
"Is the present you Ying Xiaoxiao, or Shi Miao?"
Ying Xiaoxiao gazed steadily at Li Hao, as if she couldn't look enough, and with a smile said, "What do you think?"
Li Hao recalled their brief encounters in the Mortal World and slowly said, "Your heart should be Shi Miao. If it were Ying Xiaoxiao, my interactions with her were few, not enough to risk her life for me."
