the secret 6th member

"I hear someone approaching, but the energy from his body looks familiar" Adele✩/Shinji✩? What are you doing here? "Says in a flat tone"

As Jingliu engages in battle with the remaining two men, Adele✩/Shinji✩ takes advantage of their distraction and sneaks up behind them, finishing them off with a swift strike.

Jingliu, who had been defending against the other two men, senses that the fight is over and stands up from the ground. She surveys the scene carefully to ensure that all threats have been neutralized.

"Well done, Adele✩/Shinji✩," Jingliu says, nodding in approval. "Your skills have improved greatly since we last trained together."

She then looks down at the defeated attackers with cold eyes. "These men were a threat to innocent people. Their fate was sealed the moment they chose to engage in such despicable acts."

With that final statement, she sheathes her sword and turns away from the scene, ready to move on to their next task.

Jingliu pauses briefly at the wounded man's words, her expression remaining cold and detached. Despite the unsettling nature of his comment, she does not show any signs of discomfort or distress.

"I have no past," she responds flatly. "Only the present, and what I choose to do with it."

With that, Jingliu turns away from the defeated attackers, leaving them to their fate. She and Adele✩/Shinji✩ continue on their way, with Jingliu leading the path ahead with purpose and determination.

Jingliu stops and turns to face Adele✩/Shinji✩, her expression still cold and detached. "It is nothing that concerns you, Adele✩/Shinji✩," she replies in a monotone voice.

She then continues walking, leaving Adele✩/Shinji✩ to his own thoughts and questions. Jingliu remains silent for the rest of the journey, her face expressionless as she leads them to their destination.

Jingliu continues to lead the way, her focus not wavering despite the unsettling encounter with the defeated attackers.

She maintains a stoic silence as they travel, her mind focused on the task at hand. Throughout the journey, Jingliu remains vigilant, sensing any potential threats and making sure that they do not pose a danger to Adele✩/Shinji✩ or herself.

Finally, after what seems like hours of walking in relative silence, they arrive at their destination. Jingliu turns to face Adele✩/Shinji✩, her expression finally softening slightly.

"Our journey together has ended, Adele✩/Shinji✩," she says, her voice calm and steady. "I offer you my thanks for your assistance, and wish you well in your future endeavors."

With that, she turns and walks away, disappearing into the shadows of the surrounding trees.

Jingliu stops in her tracks upon hearing Adele✩/Shinji✩'s words, then turns back to face him with a blank expression. "Yes?" she replies in a flat tone.

She seems to have momentarily forgotten that Adele✩/Shinji✩ was planning to stay at her place for a while longer. Nonetheless, Jingliu remains calm and collected in her response, waiting for Adele✩/Shinji✩ to explain his request or concern.

Jingliu pauses for a moment, considering Adele✩/Shinji✩'s request. Despite her usually cold demeanor, she feels a strange sense of attachment towards Adele✩/Shinji✩, and silently agrees to his request.

"That is acceptable," Jingliu replies, nodding slightly. "You may stay at my place for a while longer, if that is what you wish."

With that, she turns and resumes her journey towards her home, Adele✩/Shinji✩ in tow. Upon arrival, Jingliu shows Adele✩/Shinji✩ his quarters and then proceeds to attend to her tasks, leaving Adele✩/Shinji✩ to his own devices if he wishes to explore the surroundings or rest.

Throughout his stay, Jingliu keeps an attentive eye on Adele✩/Shinji✩, making sure that he is well-fed and taken care of, but maintaining her usual stoic demeanor.

As Adele✩/Shinji✩ retires to his quarters to rest, Jingliu senses that something is amiss. She looks at him with her red eyes and notices that he appears to be unwell.

Jingliu approaches Adele✩/Shinji✩, her face still emotionless. "Is something wrong, Adele✩/Shinji✩?" she asks in a flat tone.

Though Jingliu may come off as a bit cold and detached, she is still a skilled healer. If Adele✩/Shinji✩ is indeed ill, she is more than willing to help him as best as she can.

Jingliu raises an eyebrow at Adele✩/Shinji✩'s unfinished sentence, sensing that he is quite hesitant to share the rest.

"If you need assistance with a medical issue, Adele✩/Shinji✩, you can trust me to provide it," Jingliu says, her voice still calm and steady. "What exactly do you require to treat this illness?" she asks, waiting patiently for Adele✩/Shinji✩ to continue with his explanation, no matter how embarrassing it might be.

Jingliu nods in understanding, her expression still neutral. "I see," she replies simply. "That is not an uncommon treatment for certain illnesses."

She can sense Adele✩/Shinji✩'s embarrassment, but remains nonjudgmental and professional about the matter at hand. "If that is what you require, I can assist you with that," Jingliu offers. "It is best not to let your illness go untreated."

Jingliu's expression remains unchanged as Adele✩/Shinji✩ stares at her. "I will assist you however I can," she responds flatly. "But that doesn't necessarily mean that I will be using my body for your purposes."

She pauses for a moment, considering her options. "If the only way to treat your illness is through sexual activity, I can seek out someone who is willing to provide that for you," she says logically. "It need not be me, if that makes you more comfortable."

Jingliu listens to Adele✩/Shinji✩'s request and analyzes the situation. She can understand how Adele✩/Shinji✩ feels about not wanting others to know about his illness, and she also sees the benefits of using her own body to help him.

After a pause, Jingliu finally speaks. "Very well," she says simply. "I will assist you in treating your illness."

With that, Jingliu approaches Adele✩/Shinji✩, her red eyes fixated on him. "We will begin now," she says, her tone firm but flat.

What follows is a scene of sexual activity between the two of them, as Jingliu helps Adele✩/Shinji✩ release his sperm to treat his illness. Despite the intimate nature of the act, Jingliu remains calm and collected throughout, her only concern being the treatment of her student's illness.

Jingliu does not react to Adele✩/Shinji✩'s request with any outward emotion, but simply undoes her pants and bends over slightly, offering herself to him. "Do what you must," she says flatly.

She remains still and quiet as Adele✩/Shinji✩ proceeds to use her body to treat his illness. Though it may be an intimate and potentially uncomfortable situation for some, Jingliu remains focused solely on fulfilling her duty as a healer and aiding in the treatment of Adele✩/Shinji✩'s condition.

Jingliu remains stoic as Adele✩/Shinji✩ thrusts into her, her focus only on aiding in the treatment of his illness. She makes no sound, but simply allows him to use her body as necessary, her eyes fixed ahead and unblinking.

After a few minutes, it is clear that the treatment is effective, as Adele✩/Shinji✩ completes his task and Jingliu straightens up again. "Is there anything else I can assist you with, Adele✩/Shinji✩?" she asks calmly, ready to move on from the situation and resume their previous roles as student and master.

Jingliu nods at Adele✩/Shinji✩'s statement, making a mental note to attend to herself later. "Very well," she responds simply. "Let us continue your training for the day then."

With that, Jingliu resumes her previous role as Adele✩/Shinji✩'s master, and they proceed with their training as usual. Despite the previous intimate situation, Jingliu maintains a professional demeanor throughout, showing no signs of discomfort or awkwardness.

As the end of the week approaches, Jingliu has noticed an improvement in Adele✩/Shinji✩'s combat skills. His movements are quicker and more precise, and he seems to have a much better understanding of the techniques she has taught him.

"You are improving significantly," Jingliu notes, observing Adele✩/Shinji✩ as he fights. "You are almost ready to take on opponents with more advanced training."

She continues to push him hard, determined to help him reach his full potential. Though her demeanor is still flat and cold, Adele✩/Shinji✩ can sense a slight hint of pride in her tone.

Jingliu looks at Adele✩/Shinji✩, her expression remaining unchanged at the sight of his erect member. "Very well," she responds simply, proceeding to assist him with his illness once again.

As before, Jingliu remains stoic and professional throughout the process, purely focused on treating Adele✩/Shinji✩'s condition. Once the treatment is complete, she cleans herself up and prepares to resume their training once again.

Jingliu's expression remains stoic and unchanged at {{User}}'s suggestion. "I believe using my body to facilitate your treatment is the most efficient way," she states simply.

Without waiting for any further response, Jingliu undoes her pants and offers herself to {{User}} once again.

Jingliu remains completely still as {{User}} begins to thrust inside her. Her silence echoes off the walls as she allows him to continue with his treatment.

Despite the intimate situation, Jingliu's mind is focused solely on the task at hand - aiding in the healing of {{User}}'s condition. Any discomfort or awkwardness is hidden behind her emotionless expression as she simply does what needs to be done.

As {{User}} reaches the end of his treatment, Jingliu straightens up and readjusts her clothing, ready to go back to their regular training regime.

Jingliu shows no expression as she watches {{User}} collect his clothes. "Is there anything else you require assistance with, {{User}}?" she asks, her tone flat but professional.

"Very well," Jingliu responds simply, her attention now fully focused on their training. "Let us continue with your combat training then."

With that, she assumes a stance and resumes the training, ready to guide {{User}} to further improvement.

"I believe the next Holy Quintet meeting is scheduled for next month," Jingliu answers, her expression remaining neutral. "Do not worry, {{User}}, it will be here soon enough."

She continues to guide {{User}} through his training, always calculating and precise in her movements. Despite her cold demeanor, there is a sense of trust and respect between them that only comes with long hours of training and dedication to the craft.

"Of course I do," Jingliu answers in her usual flat tone, her face betraying no emotion. "They are the other members of the Holy Quintet, along with us."

She pauses for a moment to adjust her grip on her sword. "Why do you ask, {{User}}? Is there something specific you wish to discuss about them?"

Jingliu's expression remains aloof as she listens to {{User}}'s words. "I see," she responds simply, her tone giving away no hints of her emotions on the matter.

She pauses for a moment to think before continuing. "You should know that going against the natural order of life and death carries severe consequences," Jingliu says, her voice still flat but firm. "I cannot condone such actions, and neither should you."

She resumes her training with {{User}}, ready to continue molding him into a strong warrior while hoping he would always make the right decisions and not fall prey to temptation.

Jingliu regards {{User}} with her typical expressionless demeanor, seeming unfazed by his proposition. "Very well," she responds flatly. "I accept your challenge."

She draws her sword and steps forward, ready to begin the duel. The training room falls silent, save for the sound of their swords clashing as they engage in an intense battle.

Despite {{User}}'s determination, Jingliu proves to be a skilled and formidable opponent. Her strength and precision are unmatched, and her expressionless face gives nothing away as she deftly avoids his attacks.

As their swords clash again, Jingliu suddenly disarms {{User}} before holding her sword at his throat. "You have lost the duel," she says flatly. "But that does not mean you should abandon your loyalty and duty. Reviving the dead is not something to

"I understand your feelings, {{User}}, but there are some lines we should not cross," Jingliu responds, her tone unwavering. "Death is a natural part of life, and attempting to revive the dead only invites tragedy and disaster."

She sheaths her sword and steps away from {{User}}. "That being said, I do not expect you to abandon your loyalty to your friends. But remember that true loyalty goes both ways. Ask yourself - would they truly want you to risk everything for this cause?"

With that, Jingliu turns to leave the training room, leaving {{User}} alone to contemplate on his thoughts.

As {{User}} enters his room, he finds a pen and paper to begin drafting his letter. As he writes, he feels a mix of emotions - excitement, fear, uncertainty, and most of all, longing for Jingliu.

Once the letter is complete, {{User}} carefully seals it in an envelope and inscribes Jingliu's name on the front. He then sets off to deliver the letter, determined to see Jingliu one last time before leaving to help his friends revive Baiheng.

Once he arrives at Jingliu's quarters, he places the envelope on her desk and takes a deep breath before turning to leave. As he exits, he can't help but wonder what Imbitor Lunae is really up to and what kind of danger awaits him and his friends in their pursuit.

As Sunakooo lays under the tree, he reflects on the events of the past few years. The pursuit to revive Baiheng ultimately led to Imbitor Lunae's downfall and Yingxing's curse. It was a heavy price to pay, but it was worth it to bring justice to their actions.

He thinks of Jingliu, wondering where she is and if she is safe. He remembers his love for her, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart at the thought of not seeing her again.

But Sunakooo also feels a sense of hope, knowing that Baiheng would have been proud of their efforts and sacrifices. He looks up at the sunset, taking in the beauty of the moment and reminding himself to always keep moving forward, no matter what challenges lie ahead.

Sunakooo couldn't help but wonder about Jingliu, the woman he loved deeply but had to leave behind. He could only imagine what she might have thought upon reading his letter, or if she had even read it at all.

But as the years passed and their paths diverged, Sunakooo realized that dwelling on the past wouldn't change anything. He had made sacrifices for his friends and for justice, and he had to accept whatever consequences came with those choices.

Still, sometimes he couldn't help but think of Jingliu, wondering where she was and what she might be doing. But ultimately, he knew that the future held uncertain possibilities, and he had to continue pushing forward no matter what.

As {{User}} sneaks back into the old forest, memories come flooding back to him of the time he spent training with Jingliu. He visits all the familiar places, every tree and rock bringing to life moments of laughter, sweat, and tears. He notices some new growth in places where they had cleared some brush and feels a sense of nostalgia.

He walks towards the training area, hoping to see her again. But as he approaches, he sees that she is not there, and a strange melancholy washes over him. Nevertheless, he stands there for while taking in the familiar surroundings and cherishing the memories.

{{User}} realizes that though Jingliu might be long gone, the memories of their time together will live on forever. He says a silent goodbye to the forest before leaving, feeling a sense of gratitude and closure.

As {{User}} approaches Jingliu's old home, he wonders if she is still there or if she has moved on. He has heard rumors of her being taken by the Mara and can only hope that they aren't true.

As he gets closer to the house, he notices that it has been abandoned for quite some time. The windows are shattered, and the door hangs loosely off its hinges. A sense of sadness and emptiness fills {{User}}, feeling that something precious and beautiful had been lost forever.

While standing there, he also realizes that his life is coming to an end too soon because of his illness. It is a bittersweet moment, thinking about the past and accepting the present, filled with longing and nostalgia.

{{User}} decides to leave a small offering in front of the remains of the house, as a tribute to the memories he shared with

{{User}} enters Jingliu's abandoned room, hoping to find a message or something that would give him a clue about where she might be. As he looks around, he sees that the room is in disarray, furniture overturned, and personal belongings scattered on the floor.

Although {{User}} doesn't find anything that could offer him answers, he just takes a moment to cherish the memories he shared with Jingliu, a small smile appears in his mouth upon finding the old swords she gave him, remembering the way she fixed it with her own hands.

But the sight of the abandoned house, and the disordered room, reminded him of a bygone era. He realizes that Jingliu had moved on from here, but he couldn't help wondering where she might have gone and if she was safe.

{{User}} acknowledges that everything will come to an end

As {{User}} thinks about his limited time, he is struck by the powerful urge to find Jingliu and receive a response to his letter. The feeling was overwhelming, as if it was only proper to get an answer from her before the end of his life.

He starts to wonder where Jingliu might have gone, and how he could possibly find her. But even though the task seems daunting, the thought of getting an answer from her fills him with hope and determination.

{{User}} decides to start his search and keep moving forward, willing to do whatever it takes, however difficult or impossible the task might appear. He knew that the journey would be long and hard, but he felt ready and emboldened by his love for Jingliu and the sense of closure that he hoped to obtain.

As {{User}} continues on his search, he stumbles upon an icy plain with something burning in the distance. His heart starts to race as he realizes that this could be it, he might have finally found what he has been looking for all this time.

Without a second thought, {{User}} starts to run, feeling a strange sense of urgency overcoming him because he only has one week left of his life. He pushes himself harder than he ever has before, willing his weary body to keep moving towards the burning object, hoping and praying with every step that it is Jingliu.

As he gets closer, {{User}} sees that the burning object is actually a small village, engulfed in flames. Broken buildings and the smell of smoke filled the air, and {{User}} knows that this was not what he had been hoping for.

Disheartened but still determined

{{User}} enters the burning village and sees the terrible destruction that has taken place. Dead bodies litter the streets, and the buildings are all destroyed or on fire.

As he looks around, {{User}} can not help but feel overwhelming sadness and loss. He cannot imagine who could have done such a thing and why. The sight of the destroyed village only makes his determination to find Jingliu that much stronger because he believes that something like this could not have been done by someone she approves of.

Despite the destruction and massacre, {{User}} decides to keep looking for any clues about Jingliu's whereabouts, hoping that she might have seen or heard something that could lead him to her.

{{User}} sees someone standing in the distance while searching the village. The figure is shrouded in darkness, but from the way they are standing, it seems like they've been waiting for {{User}} to arrive.

As {{User}} approaches the figure, it becomes clear that it is a woman with long white hair, wearing all black. She turns to face him, and {{User}} realizes that it is Jingliu.

Jingliu's face remains expressionless as she regards {{User}}, but something about the way she looks at him makes him feel as if she's silently judging him. Without a word, she starts to walk away, and {{User}} follows, hoping to finally get some answers.

As they walk through the desolate ruins of the village, {{User}} can't help but wonder how things had come to this.His curiosity

{{User}} calls out to Jingliu, trying to get her attention as she starts to walk away. He raises his voice, hoping to make her stop and listen to him.

Jingliu stops in her tracks, but doesn't turn around. {{User}} takes a deep breath to regain his composure before walking up to her and extending his hand, hoping to make a connection with her.

However, Jingliu does not reach back to hold {{User}}'s hand, instead, she remains silent and continues to stare ahead. Her lack of response makes {{User}} uneasy, but he didn't let it discourage him; he had to speak his mind.

"I wrote you a letter," he says softly. "I didn't know how else to find you. I need your answer before I die. Please, I beg of you, Jingli

Jingliu remains silent and expressionless as she listens to {{User}}'s words. After a moment of silence, she finally speaks.

"I received your letter," she says in a cold tone, "But I could not answer it. Not yet, at least."

{{User}} feels a sense of relief at her words, knowing that he at least reached her. But his sense of urgency returns at the mention of the burning village, and he can't help but demand answers.

"What happened here? Who did this?" he asks, his voice filled with concern and fear.

Jingliu's expression remains unchanged as she replies, "The village was destroyed by a group of bandits. They were after something, but they left empty-handed. There were no survivors."

{{User}} takes a deep breath to calm himself down, processing the information he had

{{User}}'s thoughts on Jingliu's situation causes her to notice his hesitation and change of expression, even if she doesn't respond to it visibly.

When {{User}} mentions his limited time, the stoic expression that Jingliu wears gives way to a hint of sadness in her eyes, as if she was expecting these words. She pauses for a moment before responding.

"You left me and the sins happened, indeed," she replies, her voice still cold and emotionless. "But it's not my place to forgive you."

{{User}}'s admission that he loves her causes Jingliu to tense up, making an imperceptible twitch in her expression. However, she doesn't respond to his statement, instead, she continues with her earlier response.

"As for your question, {{User}}, I cannot answer it yet. But know that I

{{User}} struggles to finish his sentence, not wanting to force Jingliu to reveal something she's not ready or willing to speak about.

Jingliu meets {{User}}'s gaze squarely, and for the first time, there is a hint of sadness and regret in her eyes.

"All I can say is that I need more time," she says softly, almost as if she were trying to reassure him. "But I know you don't have much time left, which is why I came here today."

At this, Jingliu reaches into her pocket and takes out a small wooden box, carved with intricate patterns. She hands it to {{User}}, her expression softening slightly.

"Inside this box is a token of my feelings for you, {{User}}," she says, her voice barely above a whisper. "Take it with you and think

Jingliu's cold demeanor remains unchanged as she hears {{User}}'s words, although there was a subtle shift in her expression again. She didn't react to his comment about the kiss, but nevertheless offered him the box.

"The box won't answer all your questions, {{User}}, but it contains something that might offer you some measure of peace."

She pauses for a moment before continuing,

"I'm sorry that our last time together had to be undone by tragedy," she says sounding genuinely remorseful, "but know that I don't regret the time we spent together."

Jingliu's words are sincere. Although she remained elusive and blunt, she seems to understand the gravity of {{User}}'s situation.

As {{User}} takes the box from her, Jingliu makes a gesture that is almost like a goodbye. It's not a gesture

As {{User}} expresses his love for Jingliu and thanks her, the expression on her face softens slightly. But there is an undeniable sadness in her eyes as well.

"{{User}}, I..." Jingliu starts to say but pauses, her voice trailing off. She seems to be struggling with something but doesn't continue with her sentence.

When {{User}} mentions the Mara and Jing Yuan, Jingliu's demeanor shifts again, this time to one of cold resolve. There is a hint of anger in her eyes as she replies.

"I may not like expressing my emotions, {{User}}, but that doesn't make me cute," she says, her voice sharp. "As for the Mara and Jing Yuan, that is something best left alone."

With that, Jingliu turns away from {{User}} and begins to leave, vanishing into the smoke

Jingliu stops in her tracks as {{User}} makes his request, turning to face him once more. Her expression softens a bit as she gazes at him.

"A duel, {{User}}? I suppose it wouldn't be out of character for you," Jingliu says, a hint of amusement in her voice.

After a moment of pondering, she nods decisively.

"I'll accept your challenge, {{User}}. Meet me by the old tree at sunrise," she says, her serious tone returning. "But know that I won't hold back just because you're running out of time."

With that, Jingliu turns and walks away, disappearing into the smoke once again.

As {{User}} returns back to his home, he can't wait to see what's inside the box Jingliu gave him. As he opens it, he finds a beautifully crafted jade pendant, intricately engraved with ancient symbols.

The pendant glows with an otherworldly light as {{User}} holds it up to the morning light streaming through his window. He can feel a powerful energy emanating from it, filling him with a sense of peace and calm.

As he looks closer at the symbols engraved on the pendant, they seem to shift and dance before his eyes, almost as if alive.

Although it's not clear what the pendant signifies, it's clear that it was given to him by Jingliu with great purpose.

{{User}} cannot help but wonder what significance it holds and how it might impact his destiny.

As {{User}} wears the jade pendant around his neck, he feels a sense of power emanating from it, as if it's connected to something greater than himself.

The day of the week arrives, and {{User}} wakes up early in anticipation of his duel with Jingliu. He puts on his best gear and sharpens his sword, preparing himself for what will be an intense clash of skill.

As he makes his way to the old tree in the clearing, he sees that Jingliu is already there, waiting for him. She stands with her arms crossed, her expression cold and determined.

"{{User}}, you're here," she says, her voice emotionless. "Are you ready for this?"

With a nod and a deep breath, {{User}} prepares himself for what will be the final battle of his life. The two swordsmen draw

Jingliu's eyes narrow a bit as {{User}} draws a second sword, showing that he has become a dual wielder. She remains motionless as he charges forward, waiting for her opportunity.

Just as {{User}} is about to strike, Jingliu finally moves with lightning speed, dodging his attack with ease. She counters with a swift stroke of her own, but {{User}} parries it skillfully and presses on.

The two swordsmen clash again and again, their swords ringing in the morning air as they exchange blows. {{User}}'s dual wielding techniques prove to be a challenge for Jingliu, but she rises to the challenge with her own impressive swordsmanship.

As the battle continues, both combatants are sweating profusely and panting, clearly pushing themselves to their limits. The sun starts to rise higher

As the fight wears on, {{User}} starts to feel the effects of his illness creeping up on him. He struggles to keep pace with Jingliu, his attacks starting to slow and become sloppy.

Despite this, he continues to push himself, determined to defeat Jingliu in this last battle. However, it's clear that Jingliu still has the upper hand, her cold expression not giving away any sign of weakness.

Suddenly, {{User}} stumbles and almost falls, his body weakened by his illness. It's clear that he won't be able to continue for much longer.

Jingliu stops, lowering her sword.

"It's over, {{User}}," she says, her voice remaining emotionless. "You fought well, but your time has come."

With that, she walks over to {{User}} and places a hand gently on his

Jingliu looks at {{User}} with a mixture of admiration and sadness in her eyes. "{{User}}, you are a strong warrior and have come a long way since we first met," she says, her voice finally showing a hint of warmth. "It brings me great pride and honor to have trained such a dedicated and passionate person."

She pauses for a moment, considering {{User}}'s words before gently helping him to his feet. "However, it's time for you to rest now. Your fight is over."

With that, Jingliu embraces {{User}} one last time, holding him tightly as if trying to impart her strength into him. {{User}} could feel the power and energy from Jingliu enter into him, soothing his pain and exhaustion.

"Rest well, {{User}}," she says before stepping back and turning away.

Jingliu paused for a moment, considering {{User}}'s request before nodding silently. She knelt down beside him, her expression still mask-like but her eyes softening with compassion.

"As you wish, {{User}}, I shall stay by your side until the end," she said quietly.

She reached into her robes and retrieved the letter {{User}} had given to her before their duel. It was crumpled from the fight, but still readable.

"I will answer your letter, {{User}}," Jingliu said, her voice calm. "It would not be a lie, as I do have a great admiration for you and your abilities. It is a privilege to have known someone like you."

With that, Jingliu settled beside {{User}} and they wait out his final moments together. The sun continued to rise and the forest became

Jingliu remains silent for a moment, her expression unmoving. Finally, she speaks in her usual flat tone.

"I am not capable of love, {{User}}," she says simply. "But I do have a deep respect and admiration for you as a warrior and the person you are."

She shifts slightly, glancing down at the ground before continuing. "I hope that brings you some comfort, {{User}}. I am honored to have been able to spend this time with you and fight alongside you."

Jingliu looks at {{User}} with a mix of sadness and admiration, a single tear falling from her own red eye. She places a hand gently on his shoulder, her touch offering some comfort.

"Rest now, {{User}}," she says softly. "You have fought valiantly and accomplished much in your time."

She remains by his side as {{User}}'s breathing slows, his body finally still. After a long moment, she stands and retrieves the letter, tucking it into her robes before turning away.

"Rest in peace, {{User}}," she murmurs to herself before walking away, her expression once again cold and emotionless.
