"You may not kill me, but if I really am the key, Jing Ke will definitely take me. That kid is unsettlingly powerful, and his background is definitely anything but simple. And the descendants or inheritors of the Emperors from past generations won't let me go either."
Heavenly Dao burst into tears with a wail. "I was just staying on Earth, minding my own business! Who did I provoke? Why am I so miserable! I should never have awakened on Earth, never have gained consciousness, and I especially shouldn't have developed a love for candied hawthorn. That old man selling them didn't lie; he said sweet things cause cavities. But the problem is, candied hawthorn is sour too! I'm just too miserable!"
Dark lines ran down Xu Lai's forehead. This Heavenly Dao just kept droning on and on.
What does being a potential key have to do with eating candied hawthorn and getting cavities?
He couldn't listen anymore and interrupted, "One more word of this nonsense and I'll kill you."
SWOOSH—
