章 236: The system fairy

The system fairy's face fell, her expression a mix of shame and desperation. She knew Bai Lung was right - she had used him, manipulated him for her own survival.

But a part of her still clung to the hope that he could understand, that he could forgive her.

[Please, Bai Lung... I know what I did was wrong. I betrayed your trust, I used you. But I truly did care for you, in my own way. You were more than just a means to an end for me.]

She reached out a trembling hand, her eyes pleading.

[I...I know I don't deserve your forgiveness. But please, try to understand. I was desperate, I was dying. You were my only chance at survival. I couldn't bear the thought of perishing. I know that's not an excuse, but it's the truth.]

Bai Lung regarded her with cold, unforgiving eyes.

He could see the desperation in her expression, but it only served to harden his heart further.
