Bai Jie shook his head. He looked at the barrier that was about to collapse and sighed. “The Bai family has been guarding the barrier for generations. Only the direct descendants can control it. No one else can help. I should take responsibility as the head of the family. You don’t have to persuade me anymore.”

“Family Head!” Everyone couldn’t bear to see him like this. They looked at Bai Jie and wanted to say something but hesitated.

As members of the Bai family, they knew very well that this sacrifice was indeed something only a direct descendant could do.

At this moment, the monsters in the valley seemed to have realized the abnormality in the barrier. They tried their best to attack the fragile barrier and kept struggling to leave their cage.

She Qi laughed out loud when he saw this.

He still felt that it was worth it even if destroying this barrier cost him his life! He had successfully destroyed everything dear to Bai Wanxi.

Since if he couldn’t have her, he wouldn’t let Bai Wanxi have a good life either.

Just as Bai Jie was about to sacrifice his life, Bai Wanxi, who had been silent all this while, suddenly pulled out the dagger at her waist and stabbed it into her heart.

The sharp blade pierced her heart, causing blood to flow from the corner of her mouth.

However, she remained unmoved. She continued to sit firmly on the ground as if she did not feel any pain.

Everyone was stunned by Bai Wanxi’s sudden action!

“Xi’er!” Bai Jie ran towards his daughter anxiously. Carrying Bai Jiao’er, Little Jue ran to Bai Wanxi’s side.

“Silly girl, why did you do that?! You’re still young. Why did you…!” Bai Jie’s eyes turned red as he sobbed.

“Sister…” Bai Jiao’er was in extreme pain as she held Bai Wanxi’s hand with Little Jue’s help.

Bai Wanxi kept transferring her own mental power into Bai Jiao’er’s body.

She Qi fell silent when he saw this.

“Daddy, I have made up my mind. The Bai family has always only had one Holy Maiden. The Bai family will have Jiaojiao. I’m very relieved. It was my mistake that led to today’s situation. I don’t regret following… cough cough… following Ah Yu. Daddy, use my life to repair the barrier. If one of us must die, then… then let me be the one. Daddy, bury me with him. I can’t be with him when I am alive, but I want to be with him after I die at the very least.” Bai Wanxi curled her lips into an extremely tragic and beautiful smile. A tear streaked down from the corner of her eye.

Sobbing heavily, Bai Jie could only nod.

“Little Jue, I’ll leave my sister to you. Protect… her for me.” Bai Wanxi held Bai Jiao’er’s hand tightly. She suddenly went limp and closed her eyes, no longer breathing.

The diary stopped abruptly as Chi Jiao and Quan Jue finally left the space inside it.

Chi Jiao’s vision was hazy when she opened her eyes. Her heart felt like it was being mercilessly torn apart. Pain filled her entire chest, making her feel extremely tormented.

Chi Jiao slowly opened her eyes as she looked at the empty ceiling and felt tears flowing down her cheeks. Her pain did not diminish at all.

She couldn’t help feeling sad even though she already knew that the story would end in tragedy.

“Jiaojiao, you’re finally awake!” Pei Yao was overjoyed to see them open their eyes.
