After making half-hearted promises to the parents, Lai Mingjie and Xu Rouguang went home. They tidied up their unit, but they hadn't spoken a word to each other yet. They were both thinking about what Yu Shenqi said even if one of them was confident of surviving while the other knew he was about to die.
It was Xu Rouguang who broke their silence as he finished cleaning most of the house while Lai Mingjie was just doing the bedroom. "Jie, are you scared of the Abyss? Of Nuwa's blood sister Youming?"
Lai Mingjie had his back at Xu Rouguang by then, and he didn't really turn to face the other. His hands just stopped moving. "How long do we have to prepare? That woman would be really furious when she gets here... not to mention she needed my core—my life."
"That's true. She needed your core to be whole... to be as powerful as Nuwa." Xu Rouguang leaned on the doorframe. "That's why she's going to die."
