The man's voice was soft, like a fleeting sigh. But they were so close that she heard it clearly.
Shen Tang's heart trembled, her mind suddenly went blank, as if she had lost the ability to think. She could smell the cool enchanting scent emanating from the man, stirring a long-lost, familiar sense of yearning deep within her.
After a long silence, she softly said, "You were so foolish, giving me something so important, and almost sacrificing a life."
She turned to look at him, her voice tinged with slight bitterness, "Not even your tail could... be saved."
Shen Li saw her eyes slightly moist, full of guilt and resentment, but ultimately no longer a stagnant dead water.
He chuckled softly, "I willingly gave it to you; all consequences I bear myself. You need not blame yourself, you did nothing wrong."
