Jungkook looked at Lisa, his eyes dark and deep.

He had been avoiding this topic deliberately, not wanting her to recall painful memories.

The last time Lisa had encountered danger in the ancient martial arts world, he was in the process of breaking through. In his hazy state, he saw a sea of fire, as well as the clear face in it, and he almost failed to complete his advancement.

He watched as she was engulfed by the fire little by little, her face calm, and her eyes like a pool of stagnant water. He could see the lingering grief that was hiding underneath it.

Just looking at the scene made his heart hurt.

But all he could do was watch as she disappeared within the fire. It was indescribable despair that he felt at that moment as he watched the scene play out, as though it had happened for real, once before.

So when he woke up to see Dubhe forcing Lisa into a corner, he became slightly unhinged. That was also the reason he said that he would destroy the world. He really had the thought of making a move in that moment, especially when he recalled the vision of her vanishing into the flames once again.

He’d seen this incident once, although it was just a dream, he had the urge to destroy everything. If it really did happen in front of him, he didn’t know what he would do.

Fortunately, she was still well and alive in front of him.

Jungkook reached out to pull her into his arms, muttering in her ears, “I know… I know all of it.”

His voice was dull and flat, bitterness seeping out from his tone. This man had always been calm and restrained, reigning in his feelings all the time. This was the first time Lisa had seen such a display of emotions from him, and she could also feel his body trembling. It seemed that admitting those words exhausted all the strength in his body.

Lisa turned to look at him with an impassive expression. “Brother Jungkook, you know that I’ve already died…”

“Don’t say it!” Jungkook tightened his arms around her. He didn’t want to hear the words from her mouth a second time, turning to look at her with his onyx eyes. He said slowly, “All these misfortunes have existed since ancient times. Even if you weren’t around, it would still explode in our faces eventually, it was only a matter of time. You don’t have to take all the blame onto yourself, the evils are of their own making. Why right does he have to put the entire blame on you?”

Jungkook stared intently into her eyes when he said that.

He didn’t believe in Dubhe’s judgment. Just relying on her own merits, she had punished many evils, and there was no malicious aura that even came close to her. It was the biggest joke in the world to say that she was a calamity.

Even if she turned out to be it, so what? He didn’t care one bit.

Lisa studied his face for a long time, and she knew he was worried. His hands were still shaking, and he was still looking at her so attentively. There was also a hint of fear in his usually vacant eyes.

This made her warm inside, and feel that she really wasn’t alone in this world.

The panic and fear that had been eating at her slowly whittled away. She leaned on him, starting to organize her thoughts.

When she heard Dubhe’s words, she had indeed been shocked to her core. Especially when she was looking at so many lives disappearing in front of her, she inevitably recalled her rebirth.

So she suspected that she was indeed an outsider of this world, an anomaly, just as Dubhe had said.

If so many lives disappeared because of her, how could she be at ease?
