He rushed up to Nan Yinzheng, locking eyes with him, and in his pupils reflected the holy light enveloping the surface of the opponent's fist, watching the punch about to land on himself.

With a "bang", Wang Xiaole's chest was struck heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but this was exactly the result he needed.

In order to land this punch, South Yinzheng had to temporarily halt his body's movement, and his legs were fixed in place for a period of time;

This "period of time" lasted roughly between three to four seconds, absolutely enough time for Wang Xiaole to deliver a critical blow.

Injuries for injuries, he had to use the injuries he had previously sustained to exchange for South Yinzheng to suffer a fatal blow!

The only remaining dagger, manipulated by blood-stained fingers, rose up and, as it spun from top to bottom, was infused with a powerful force;

The dagger itself, serving as the vessel, was on the brink of shattering before the final stab was executed;

Later on, it fulfilled its last mission, carrying the fading sharpness, and forcefully stabbed towards South Yinzheng's body.

On the surface of South Yinzheng's body, the layers of holy power acting as protection, facing overwhelming absolute power, ultimately could not withstand for too long.

At the moment the defense collapsed, South Yinzheng's body was pierced, the injury was undeniably severe, and the gushing blood was undeniably copious.

As South Yinzheng twisted his face and fell, Wang Xiaole, without hesitation, exerted all his strength to rush towards the execution site.

In the next second, the sword was poised to take White's life;

However, in that second, Wang Xiaole arrived just in time.

As the dagger shattered, Wang Xiaole smashed the restrained object with his fist;

While restoring White's freedom of movement, he controlled his own body to roll sideways, embracing her towards the ground.

In the next second, the sword fell, aiming at nothing, and predictably missed its mark.

After saving White, Wang Xiaole, with his back facing the direction he came from, held her without saying a word.

From his eyes, everything that had happened between him and White swiftly flashed before his eyes.

It wasn't about his own life, but encompassed the entirety of his current existence.

The ranger named Wang Xiaole, a boy, truly started living the day he met the one he loved.

It wasn't a long period of time, instead, it seemed rather brief;

Now, it was time for it to come to an end.

Hmph!

In White's eyes reflected a crimson blade, piercing through the body of the big brother in front of her, the blade passing through and the scarlet blood dripping from the tip.

It was the blade that South Yinzheng thrust from behind, the same blade that threatened White earlier.

The current situation was a result of South Yinzheng, fighting with his last breath, causing it after standing back up.

South Yinzheng believed that by catching Wang Xiaole off guard while he was distracted protecting White, he could succeed in a sneak attack;

And he did succeed;

Although someone's vigilance was high, once distracted by their loved ones, even the enemy who was on the brink of death could succeed.

Between saving White's life and taking the enemy's life, Wang Xiaole chose the former, unable to deliver that final blow.

Loss and gain are always balanced, what you gain comes at a cost;

Before that decisive moment arrived, Wang Xiaole silently made a wish;

He earnestly prayed to the fate he never believed in,

As long as White could survive, he was willing to pay any price!

Regardless of whether fate existed, his singular wish was fulfilled, exchanging it for his young life...

One life in exchange for another, entailing fairness, depending on the different thoughts that may arise in people's minds, some might find it unsatisfactory.

But in reality, perhaps it was one of the moments where Wang Xiaole, aside from the day he successfully confessed his love, laughed the loudest.

"So this is it... the meaning of my life is not just about meeting you, but about saving you at a critical moment so that you can live safely from now on!"

He laughed heartily, ignoring the mockery from South Yinzheng behind him, casually moving his right hand to the stabbed area, and gently twisted it.

Click!

And thus, the sticky blade separated from the hilt in a moment of shattering, grasped in his hand, which he then flicked backward in the next moment.

Hmph!

With the second sound, this time South Yinzheng fell, his head almost disconnected from his neck, symbolizing that he would never be able to stand up again.

Is it over?

Not yet, because if there was nothing left to do, a small figure could not have appeared here.

It was an otherworldly and adorably lovely girl, she had bouncing ponytails and stood behind White with expressive features.

"Just take a little nap, and give me some time to have a chat with your man."

White heard the unfamiliar voice coming from behind her, and in that same moment, she was struck on the head.

The force that fell on White's head wasn't particularly strong, but the power piercing through made her dizzy.

Even though White's hands subconsciously reached forward to touch her big brother, she eventually lost consciousness and fell to the side.

The girl held White from behind, gently lay her on the flat ground, then reached behind her back and, tiptoeing, came to Wang Xiaole's front.

"This is the third time I've met you, but I really don't want to meet you again."

The girl vaguely remembered:

Decades ago, next to a nun named Cai, she sincerely hoped that:

The person in front of her would never have any dealings with her due to necessity.

However, the girl's wish ultimately failed, and she didn't know what to say about the fate between her and Wang Xiaole.

Regrets aside, the transaction had to continue.

Years of accumulation of habits made her slightly lower her hem, turning to face the person reincarnated for the third time, and introduced herself once again:

"I am called 'The Wandering Balance'. I only appear in front of people who want their wishes to come true;

You who are about to leave this world, what wish do you have in mind to fulfill? And what price are you willing to pay for it?"

The Wandering Balance was Myin, she glanced at the injuries on Wang Xiaole's body and found only one was fatal.

If not for that fatal injury, the person before her would not have needed to meet her; however, with the current situation of a heart-piercing wound, only she possessed the power to revive the dying.

To save the dying was not new to Myin, and she effortlessly and skillfully went about it.

"I can let you live, but in exchange, you must sacrifice another person's life who is very close to you;

Considering the value of your life, that person must be extremely dear to you."

Wang Xiaole pondered a bit and realized the depth of the girl before him was unfathomable.

Such formidable strength might even surpass Lestier; in the current continent, she was undoubtedly at the pinnacle of power.

A person of such caliber had no reason to joke with him or impersonate the well-known Wandering Balance.

And indeed, the girl's appearance closely resembled the rumors;

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaole believed in Myin's identity, enduring his terrible condition and began negotiating with her:

"In this world, as a rogue like me, how many 'dear' people can I find?"

"Strictly speaking, there is only one, the one I just laid down on the ground, and you are reluctant to have her sent off, right?"

"To sacrifice White? I might as well just let myself die."

"I guess you'd react this way. Let's just stop here for the conversation about your continued life."

Wang Xiaole's reaction was exactly as Myin expected.

Don't forget, at the very beginning, Myin mentioned:

"About to leave this world..."

This "you" naturally referred to Wang Xiaole, and the initial "about to leave this world" could have two interpretations:

The first representing Wang Xiaole's current state, that without Myin's help, he would leave this world.

However, following the brief conversation just now, Myin was convinced that the phrase she uttered originally, actually meant the second interpretation:

Even with her help, Wang Xiaole would still die;

Because the latter was unwilling to lose White and unable to make the exchange of lives, Myin could not save him.

But if Myin assumed from this that Wang Xiaole had no further wishes, she was mistaken.

Everyone who could meet Myin was someone desperately seeking to fulfill a desire;

Since Wang Xiaole explicitly stated earlier that he wasn't very interested in continuing his life, it indicated he had another wish.

Myin had seen many people, among them were certainly those who valued their lives, and others who prioritized wealth and power over their own lives.

The greed of those individuals was somewhat incomprehensible to Myin, she believed nothing could be more important than life itself.

The more she interacted with people, the more curious Myin became about their thoughts;

Now, she eagerly wished to know:

In the mind of the person in front of her, with whom she had had three encounters, what took precedence over personal life?

Facing Wang Xiaole, Myin listened earnestly to his greatest wish, and quickly received a not-so-surprising answer.

"I hope she can live a better life, even in my absence, she can continue to live happily and in peace."

Such answers were not unfamiliar to Myin, she seemed to have heard them before, not many times but exactly twice.

"To let her live happily seems challenging; after you pass away, she may find it difficult to be happy again."

"So that's why deep down, I longed for your appearance, Wandering Balance, please, you must help me!"

Myin looked at the wounded person before her, with his head lowered, and a slight emotion stirred within her heart.

It was just a slight emotion, Myin was essentially a businesswoman who could resolve almost any matter for people, but the price to be paid was inevitable.

"I have an idea that can fulfill your wish and make you pay the price at the same time. Are you willing to do as I say?"

Learning there was a way, Wang Xiaole's previously clouded heart suddenly felt relieved.

"What is that method?"

"It's not difficult to accomplish, all you need to do is go back to the intimacy you had with that little girl before!"
