The Shock of the Crowd

During the Q&A session, the other half can see it.

In other words, He Caitou could clearly see Xiao Xiao's expression at that moment and hear every word she said.

Tang San was very much looking forward to seeing what He Caitou's expression would be when he heard Xiao Xiao He Caitou him to die.

Is it anger? Despair? Or utter disillusionment?

He thought it must have been a truly spectacular scene.

What he enjoys most is seeing these so-called "true love" moments crumble in the face of life and death.

In this way, he can stand on the moral high ground and properly educate them, telling them what true love is.

Just as Tang San stood with his arms crossed, waiting expectantly for Xiao Xiao to make her choice, Xiao Xiao started crying again.

She cried even harder, her shoulders shaking, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.

Seeing her like this, Tang San became even more certain.

He felt that Xiao Xiao would definitely choose to let herself live and He Caitou die.

After all, who would willingly give up their life for someone else? Especially a young girl who is so afraid of death.

He had even already thought about what he was going to say next. He wanted to tell Xiao Xiao that her choice was right, and that one must love oneself before one can love others.

Then tell He Caitou that this is the woman he deeply loves, who still chose to abandon him in the face of life and death.

Just as Tang San was immersed in his own fantasy, waiting to see a good show, Xiao Xiao raised her head.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face was streaked with tears. She looked delicate and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

But the look in her eyes as she gazed at Tang San was unusually firm.

In a soft, tearful voice, she said, word by word, "Then let me die, but please don't tell He Caitou. Tell him to take good care of my parents. Although he's a bit ugly, he's a very good person, and my parents will definitely like him."

When this diary entry appeared in the minds of all the female protagonists who possessed Diary Copy, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Ice Empress, who was just smiling, froze on his face instantly.

Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what she had just seen.

The smile on Snow Empress's face vanished, and her eyes widened slightly, filled with shock.

Ma Xiaotao tightened her grip on her mouth, her eyes instantly filling with tears.

Wang Dong'er, Jiang Nannan, Ju Zi...

Everyone was stunned.

Because of the previous setup, everyone thought that Xiao Xiao's choice might be to save her own life.

After all, Xiao Xiao was so afraid of dying that she almost cried. Choosing to live was only natural, and no one would blame her.

In a life-or-death situation, prioritizing one's own survival is perfectly normal.

However, when the following part was shown, everyone was deeply shocked.

What a resilient young girl she is!

She was terrified, crying so bitterly and desperately, but in the end, she still chose to give the hope of life to the person she loved.

She didn't even think about He Caitou know about her sacrifice. She just made the choice silently, and then, worried about her parents, asked He Caitou to take care of them for her.

Star Dou Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

When Gu Yuena saw Xiao Xiao's reply, her usually calm eyes were suddenly filled with intense emotions.

Complex, emotional, surprising, and a little bit indescribable.

In her mind, humans are extremely selfish creatures who will stop at nothing to achieve their own interests.

They can slaughter Soul Beast at will, betray their own family, and trample on all that is beautiful in the world.

She had witnessed humans killing each other for a single Soul Bone.

I've seen humans drive Soul Beast to the brink of extinction in their pursuit of power.

I have witnessed how humans, in their pursuit of power and status, betrayed their friends and family, leading to their abandonment and alienation.

She had always believed that this was human nature: cruel, selfish, and indifferent.

But today, she witnessed Xiao Xiao's choice.

A young human girl, not yet twenty years old, was terrified of death, yet at the last moment, she chose to sacrifice herself for her lover.

This courage, this pure emotion, deeply moved her.

"Humans... are truly a wondrous race."

Gu Yuena murmured softly, her voice carrying an indescribable complexity. "They can be so cruel as to exterminate the Soul Beast Clan, so cruel as to kill each other, so cruel as to give birth to something like Evil Soul Master."

"But there are still people like this, who, even though they are terrified of death, still choose to let their partner live."

She sighed deeply, a hint of confusion flashing in her silver eyes.

Perhaps her view of humanity has always been too one-sided?

Among humanity, there are certainly many despicable and shameless people, but there are also kind, brave people like Xiao Xiao who are willing to sacrifice for love.

Beside her, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, lying at Gu Yuena's feet, was already sobbing uncontrollably.

She kept wiping away her tears with her paws, wetting a large patch of fur on her face.

"Waaaah... Sister Xiao Xiao is so brave..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion choked back tears as it said, "She was so afraid of death, yet she still chose to He Caitou live... She was truly remarkable..."

She has lived for tens of thousands of years, hundreds of times longer than humans. In the future Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry, when Tang San asked her if she was willing to sacrifice herself to save Huo Yuhao, she hesitated and ultimately chose to refuse.

She felt that her own life was the most important thing, and she couldn't give up her life of tens of thousands of years for a human she had only known for a short time.

She always felt that she had made the right choice.

But today, when she saw Xiao Xiao's choice, she began to doubt her own thoughts for the first time.

A human girl who is not even twenty years old has such courage, while she, Soul Beast who has lived for tens of thousands of years, does not even have this much courage.

Thinking of this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion cried even harder.

Shrek Academy, Freshman Square.

When Wang Dong'er saw this entry in the diary while reclining on the chair, she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock.

Having spent the last two days with Xiao Xiao, she really likes this little girl very much.

Xiao Xiao is lively, cute, and mischievous; she chatters away every day like a happy little bird.

Any word used to describe cuteness would seem exceptionally fitting when applied to her.

Even as a girl herself, Wang Dong'er really liked girls like Xiao Xiao.

In her memory, Xiao Xiao was a little sister who needed to be protected, soft and weak, and would cry at the slightest grievance.

But she never expected that such a seemingly weak and frail little girl would have such great courage.
