"How about I help you decide?"
Chen Li asked softly.
"...All right."
Shenhe nodded.
Years of cultivation, along with a lifestyle of eating immortal herbs and drinking mountain dew, coupled with her isolated existence, had left Shenhe unsure how to interact with others, much less what kind of life she wanted.
The soul-binding red cords had helped Shenhe suppress the bloodthirst and Killing Intent she had been born with, but they had also dulled her emotions.
