Shen Wei said softly. “I want him back too. I miss him to the point of madness. But I can’t bear you going back to how he was. Kunlun-jun bore the weight of ten thousand mountains and rivers on his shoulders, and more—the natural order of things, the Great Seal, the Reincarnation Cycle… There’s no room to breathe. I don’t want you to live with that pain. All I want now is for you to be mortal and content.”
