"Don't lose heart! There must be a way!" Gao Fei consoled.
"What way could there possibly be?" Duanmu Hong gave a bitter smile, "In this world, only a defying heavenly secret technique can help me, but alas... the failure of the secret technique means that now, other than waiting for death, I have no second path to choose." Duanmu Hong resented the unfairness of the heavens; she hadn't committed any heinous crimes, so why did she have to suffer like this?
"You just said... you don't have long to live?" Gao Fei asked.
"Yes, my life force is severed; death could come at any moment."
"You certainly don't want to die, right?"
"Nonsense! If I could live, who would want to die? I chose to cultivate the defying heavenly secret technique originally because I didn't want to perish."
"I might have a way to extend your lifespan."
"What way could you possibly have?" Duanmu Hong scoffed.
