Xing Yun thought Shen Li shouldn’t have hit the lotus spirit, but Shen Li had always been decisive and preferred to solve problems with force. She told the lotus spirit to leave quickly—she would tell Gu Chengjin that the lotus spirit was already dead. The lotus spirit wept bitterly. Even though she knew Gu Chengjin was only using her as a medicinal ingredient to save another, she still wanted to see him one last time.

Shen Li tried persuading her several times, but to no avail. In the end, she agreed to let the lotus spirit see Gu Chengjin again—and also to see the woman who had made her so jealous she wished for death. Shen Li had the lotus spirit go into hiding, then told Gu Chengjin that she was dead and urged him to leave as soon as possible. But Gu Chengjin, heartbroken, didn’t want to go anywhere.

His beloved was here—he would rather die with her than leave. Hearing this, the lotus spirit lost all hope. In a moment of impulse, she clutched Gu Chengjin’s neck, but how could she bear to harm the man she had loved from the first moment she saw him? In the end, she sacrificed herself for the one she loved. Finally, Shi Yin awoke. Gu Chengjin realized it was the lotus spirit who had saved him.

As he watched the rising motes of light, he felt a deep sense of loss. Xing Yun had just been poisoned by the miasma. His wrist was bruised and blackened from the corrosive energy. Shen Li brought him back to the Jin Yue Residence and used her power to heal him. Seeing that Xing Yun’s condition had slightly improved, Shen Li knew she could no longer stay. The pursuers from the Spirit Realm were still searching for her.

If a battle broke out near Xing Yun, his frail body wouldn’t survive it. Sure enough, the Spirit Realm’s pursuers arrived in full force. Mo Fang did his best to delay them. Shen Li followed closely behind and summoned local earth deities and guardian spirits, ordering them to quickly go and save Xing Yun in the Jin Yue Residence. After all, he was a prince—how could the earth deities disobey?

They immediately promised to expel the poison from Xing Yun’s body within half an hour. Shen Li told them to look for a man in blue robes beneath the pavilion, and the earth deities rushed off in a panic to save him. Unexpectedly, two uninvited guests appeared along the way—one named Qing Yan, the other Chi Rong. Both were notorious troublemakers.

They told the earth deity to deliver a message to Shen Li: if she didn’t come quickly, they would take Xing Yun hostage and could not guarantee his safety. Soon, Shen Li received the message. Seeing strange phenomena repeatedly appear in the Heavenly Realm, she guessed that Mo Fang had already clashed with the pursuers. Knowing Xing Yun was still in danger, Shen Li had no choice but to turn back and rescue him.

When she arrived at Xing Yun’s side, Chi Rong and Qing Yan relayed her mother’s imperial command: return immediately and marry, or even if it meant breaking her arms or legs, they would still drag her back to the Spirit Realm. Shen Li looked up and saw the sky filled with Spirit Realm pursuers—densely packed like ants. To protect Xing Yun, she cut open her palm and used her blood to forge a powerful barrier, shielding him within it.

Shen Li’s mother flew into a rage, accusing her of harming her own kind and asking whether she acknowledged her guilt. Shen Li responded calmly. The Spirit Realm had lived under the rule of the Heavenly Realm for tens of thousands of years. Now even marriage was not up to them, with matches assigned randomly by the Heavenly Realm, and they were even forced to guard the demons and monsters of the heavens.

Everything Shen Li said was true, but her mother refused to listen. She ordered two celestial soldiers to take the prince away immediately. Hearing their conversation, Xing Yun finally understood—Shen Li was actually a prince! Though reluctant to part, Shen Li turned back and helped him to his feet, leaving him with a tender kiss. She told him that she was being forced into marriage and might never have the chance to see him again.

She hoped he would live well. With that, she left in sorrow. Watching her graceful figure disappear into the distance, Xing Yun was filled with deep longing.
