Chapter 696 What do you think?

Su Chenyin listened quietly to the series of harsh conditions proposed by Hei Xie, and did not respond immediately.

She remained silent, as if she was carefully weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

After a long while, she opened her red lips and responded, "As for the first two conditions, I can seriously consider them. However, as for the last one... I'm sorry, it's hard for me to agree to it."

There was a hint of unquestionable firmness in her tone, as if she was declaring her bottom line to Hei Xie.

"You also know that you are the evil force among the forces of good and evil, and you are the most powerful and mysterious force in the world. If you allow it to act recklessly and without restraint, I am afraid that the entire six realms will fall into an irretrievable situation and fall into a chaotic situation."

"Once the evil power you have released gets out of control, it will destroy all beautiful things, causing great suffering and misery. Therefore, I must restrain your behavior for both emotional and rational reasons."

Every word was like a heavy stone, hitting Heixie's heart.

Su Chenyin's beautiful eyes shone as brightly as stars, her gaze was extremely firm, and she had no intention of retreating at all. She just stared straight into Hei Xie's eyes.

At the same time, the runes on the altar not far away seemed to be inspired by her righteous words. They suddenly shone brightly and became more and more dazzling, as if they were cheering and waving in unison for her just actions.

After hearing what Su Chenyin said, Heixie's brows instantly furrowed tightly and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

He muttered in dissatisfaction: "Humph, you are clearly deliberately restricting my freedom!"

"How can I agree to your request? I, Hei Xie, have always been alone, free and unfettered, galloping across the world, and no one dares to stop me. But now I have to be bound by you like this, this is simply an insult to me!"

"His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness, and the extremely dense dark aura once again rolled wildly like surging waves, with a terrifying momentum.

His body leaned forward slightly, and his tall figure was like a mountain about to collapse, as if he was putting pressure on Su Chenyin, trying to make her change her mind.

Su Chenyin said calmly, "Hei Xie, Hei Xie, don't you understand yet? The relationship between you and me is a contractual one, not an irreconcilable opposition. Only by working together and complementing each other can we achieve the goals we each desire."

She took a step forward, staring at Hei Xie, and continued, "If you only pursue the so-called freedom without any restrictions, but completely ignore the delicate balance between good and evil, then in the end, the person who will suffer the most will probably be you!"

"The reason why the seal on you exists is because your power is too strong and out of control, posing a threat to the order of heaven and earth. Once you lose control again and cause chaos in the six realms, all forces will surely unite to deal with you. Do you think you still have a chance to escape?"

Su Chenyin's voice was soft but powerful, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing deep into Heixie's heart.

There was a hint of persuasion in her eyes, trying to make Heixie understand the interests involved.

Hearing this, Heixie stood there, frowning, thinking secretly in his heart.

He knew very well that what Su Chenyin said made sense. Over the years, he had been trapped in the seal and suffered torture. His desire for freedom was stronger than anyone else.

But his innate pride and unruliness made him unwilling to be bound like this.

He was struggling fiercely in his heart, and the expression on his face kept changing. Sometimes he was angry, and his eyes were wide open as if they were about to spit fire; sometimes hesitant, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and hesitation.

Bai Shang watched all this quietly from the side, a soft light emanating from her body, like a bright moon, illuminating the dark space.

She sighed softly and began to persuade him, "Heixie, don't be stubborn anymore! Making a contract with sister Yinyin is the only way for you to get rid of the seal. You and I were originally one of good and evil, but now we have been separated for a long time and our strength is not as great as before."

"Only by making a contract with Sister Yinyin and relying on Sister Yinyin's power can we regain our complete selves and break free from this endless bondage. You don't want to be trapped in this seal forever, unable to move freely, do you?"

Bai Shang's voice was gentle, sincere, and full of concern.

Hei Xie turned his head and glared at Bai Shang fiercely: "What do you know! You always look righteous, but you don't know the value of freedom. I don't want to be bound by anyone, and I don't want to obey the orders of a mortal."

Bai Shang shook her head and said helplessly: "Hei Xie, you are just being stubborn. Sister Yinyin is a kind and responsible person. She will not restrict your freedom for no reason."

"Sister Yinyin did this just to maintain peace and stability in the six realms, which has been our responsibility since birth. We cannot let the whole world fall into disaster because of our own selfish desires."

There was a hint of disappointment in Bai Shang's eyes, as if she felt helpless about Heixie's stubbornness.

Hei Xie snorted coldly, his face still showing indifference and disdain, but his slightly trembling lips and flickering eyes could not conceal the turmoil in his heart.

He clenched his fists tightly, as if trying to suppress some emotional outburst.

At this moment, Hei Xie's mind was constantly echoing with the words that Bai Shang and Su Chenyin had just said.

Maybe they were right, and in order to break free from the seal, he really needed to make some compromises.

Su Chenyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Heixie's expression change.

She knew that Heixie had begun to waver, and if she tried harder, she might be able to convince him.

So, she took a deep breath, took a step forward, and said softly: "Hei Xie, I know you desire freedom, and I will not completely restrict your actions. I promise you that as long as you can stick to the bottom line and don't do anything that endangers the lives of the six realms, then I will never interfere with your daily actions at will."

"Not only that, we can also discuss and formulate a set of rules that are both reasonable and feasible. This set of rules must fully take your personal needs into consideration while also ensuring the peace and stability of the entire six realms. What do you think of this proposal?"

Su Chenyin's voice was gentle and sincere, and her eyes revealed a hint of expectation, hoping that Hei Xie would accept her proposal.

Hei Xie raised his head, and his eyes, which had been burning with rage, gradually dimmed, and were replaced by an imperceptible hesitation.

He just stared silently at Su Chenyin in front of him, his lips trembling slightly, but he was unable to utter a single word.
