"Foolish woman. You just want to use your body to tie Yan Xing down—that's the blindness and impulsiveness of love. You work for him, risk your life for him, but what have you gained in return? Chui Chui is stronger than you and curries more favor with Yan Xing. You... are just one of Yan Xing's experiments, and quite possibly a failed one at that."
Max's words struck Tong Yitong deeply.
"Why are you saying all this to me? What's your purpose?"
"I just want to help you."
Tong Yitong asked cautiously, "How will you help?"
"Help you become stronger, grant you a longer lifespan, keep you youthful for an extended time. If you want Yan Xing to keep you in his heart, you must be able to accompany him through the ages."
Tong Yitong said disbelievingly, "Have you forgotten how you fled your own manor in panic? You were in such a pathetic state yourself, yet you dare claim you'll help me become stronger?"
