“Only in that moment when Dong’er died for you did I realize that her love for you was so much deeper than mine because I had hesitated at that moment. I contemplated that if she died, I could be with you forever. My love for you ultimately has that bit of selfishness, but hers doesn’t. Her love for you is pure. She could sacrifice her own life for you without any hesitation at all, just like you had done for her.

“I seemed to understand in that moment, that I was always just an outsider between the two of you, and I was never anything else but an outsider. Therefore, I left, and I returned to the Great Star Dou Forest. I made a promise to myself that I would never see you again, and I would bury everything that happened between us in the past, and I would let bygones forever be bygones.

“I had learned how humans love each other, but I didn’t learn how to forget. I couldn’t forget about you

“Therefore, I came once I felt that you were in danger. This time, Dong’er isn’t by your side, and we aren’t inside the Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley. This time, I will not lose to her. She is in a deep sleep, so there is no way she can compete with me.”
