Qian Cangyi's words were like a sharpened sword plunged into the other's heart.
"I ..." Yet, the Special Skull still hesitated, her hearts warring against themselves.
Qian Cangyi observed her reactions but remained silent.
Apparently, the Moon Goddess's influence on her was immense. Understandably so - perhaps as punishment or prey, she was trapped on the Blood Stick by the Moon Goddess. Not dead nor alive. Abandoned by the world. Initially, she might have denied it. But as time passed, she started praying. When her prayers were unanswered, she became angry. Finally, heart engulfed in despair.
Qian Cangyi's eyes never left the face of the Special Skull. It was a critical moment. He needed to be aware of any of her reactions to respond in time.
"I'm sorry, you all should leave. Maybe ending up like this is the best outcome." The Special Skull spoke then closed her eyes, refusing to face Qian Cangyi again.
This time, Qian Cangyi did not force her to speak anymore.
