When Xi Yan Xuanxuan unabashedly admitted that he had killed Tu Shanjing, Xiling Jiu Yao's world seemed to collapse in an instant.Her anger and sadness surged out like a wild beast, causing her to lose her mind. The sharp blade in her hand was pointed directly at Xi Yanxuan's chest.Facing this sudden attack, Xi Yanxuan was shocked, but also felt more incomprehensible love and pain for his sister.He tried to explain, but all explanations could not restore his sister's heart.In the end, he chose not to resist and allowed the blade to penetrate, causing the blood to stain his clothes red.

Xi Yanxuan fell to the ground, his eyes full of confusion and regret.He whispered his deep love for Jiu Yao and didn't understand why their love turned into this.But Xiling Jiuyao, holding the blood-stained blade, felt pain in her heart as if she was being torn apart.When she saw Xi Yanxuan trying to hold the blade with his hand, wanting to bear the pain with her, her heart was filled with despair.

The grandfather's appearance prevented the tragedy from continuing.He looked at the two grandchildren in front of him, his eyes full of helplessness and sadness.He told Jiu Yao that although Xuanxuan's behavior was wrong, it was also for the sake of the overall situation.He hopes that Jiu Yao can let go of her hatred and not put the entire family into crisis for her own selfish reasons.However, Jiu Yao has fallen into deep despair and she cannot accept this reality.

Grandfather ordered Jiu Yao to be kept under strict supervision to prevent her from acting more impulsively.However, Jiu Yao has no fear of being imprisoned again.She sneered and told her grandfather that she had been imprisoned by the nine-tailed fox demon for thirty years and was already accustomed to this kind of life.She told her grandfather that if he wanted to prevent her from taking revenge, he would have to die now.Grandfather sighed helplessly and left the room, leaving Jiu Yao alone in the darkness licking the scars in her heart.

Under the arrangement of his grandfather, Xiling Jiuyao and Xiyan Xingxuan were isolated.However, Xuanxuan cleverly passed a key to Jiuyao secretly by sending wine and mulberries.Jiu Yao discovered the key while playing with mulberries and used it to unlock the shackles that bound her.After being freed, she decided to go to Phoenix Forest - the place where she and Xuanxuan shared memories.There, she met Xingxuan.The two of them were relatively speechless, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Jiu Yao thanked Xuan Xuan for the key, and laughed at herself that she had been trapped in various shackles her whole life, but she never expected that this key could unlock the shackles imposed on her by her family and her brother.Xuanxuan tried to use the childhood swing to mend the rift between them, but Jiuyao knew that the rift was deep.She sat on the swing and slowly told how her brother Xuanxuan disappeared with the death of Tu Shanjing.She told Xuanxuan that her dream of spending her old age with him, picking flowers and swinging in the Phoenix Forest, had now come to nothing.She decided to fulfill her vow of revenge - since Xuanxuan killed Tushanjing, she would also end it all in her own way.

Xuanxuan quietly accepted Jiuyao's decision and handed her a phoenix flower and told her that the flower contained poison.Jiu Yao took the flower without hesitation and tasted the nectar. Xing Xuan also took the oath to live and die together.However, an accident happened and Jiu Yao fell to the ground first.Xuanxuan hugged her tightly and asked if she would be so decisive if Tu Shanjing harmed her.Jiu Yao shook her head and said that Tu Shanjing knew that his position in her heart would never let her suffer the slightest pain.Xuanxuan apologized to Jiuyao with regret and blamed herself for using her as a pawn.Jiu Yao gently wiped away his tears and expressed that she had forgiven everything and hoped that he could live well.However, Jiu Yao could no longer hold on and passed away with a smile, leaving Xing Xuan alone to face the endless despair and grief.
