Blades and Blossoms

Zhan Sheng's heart shattered into a thousand pieces, mirroring the anguish that resonated within Lei Fang's voice. The weight of guilt and responsibility pressed heavily upon him. He vowed to protect Lei Fang from the clutches of Lei Xun, preventing him from performing the soul possession ritual.

Tears welled up in his own eyes as he made a solemn promise to the young girl. "Lei Fang, I will get you out of here, away from Lei Xun. You will never have to endure the torment he inflicts. I promise to keep you safe, to provide a future where you can heal and find happiness."

Lei Fang's fragile form trembled with a mix of grief and hope. She nodded, her voice choked with emotion. "Please, I trust you. I don't want to suffer anymore. I want to be free."

They didn't deserve this. They deserved to be free. Lei Fang didn't deserve to have her life thrown away by some old geezer, and Lei Bo didn't deserve to be slaughtered before his eyes.
