In front of Shen Li, Xing Zhi always claimed that he didn’t know her before and had never descended to the mortal realm. Yet, when Shen Li was unconscious, he stayed by her bedside, full of worry, and even transferred his spiritual power to help heal her. With Xing Zhi’s meticulous care, Shen Li felt her body recover quickly. That afternoon, Shen Li took Xing Yun to Xu Tian Abyss to check on the state of the seal.

The road was rugged and difficult to walk. Shen Li moved swiftly and nimbly, while Xing Zhi, dressed in flowing celestial robes, moved slowly. Shen Li looked back at his leisurely pace and couldn’t help but remark that he was like “an old ox pulling a broken cart. ”Along the way, Shen Li was entangled by a wild boar corrupted by the miasma. Ordinarily, such creatures were respectful toward their masters.

Xing Zhi suggested burning it, warning that it might cause trouble in the future, but Shen Li couldn’t bear to kill a spirit creature and simply kicked the boar away to release it. Although Shen Li had never held much fondness for the Heavenly Realm, she couldn’t help but be impressed when she saw Xing Zhi restore a long-dead spiritual tree to life with a wave of his hand. The surrounding withered grass instantly turned lush and green.

The soldiers of the Spirit Realm looked up to see the moon finally emerging from the haze, bright and high in the sky. The land was bathed in a soft glow, bringing peace and tranquility. All were filled with awe at the divine power of the Heavenly Realm. Mo Fang saw the gap between himself and Xing Zhi and couldn’t help but feel inferior.

Xing Zhi revived a millennia-old ancient tree in Xu Tian Abyss, then picked a fresh leaf and gave it to Shen Li, inviting her to climb the tree to “open the moon. ” Shen Li had never looked down on Xu Tian Abyss from atop a tree, especially not under a full moon in complete silence. She deeply enjoyed the rare moment of peace and casually remarked that it would be even better with music.

Xing Zhi then played a tune using the leaf, the sound crisp and melodious. As Shen Li gazed at his side profile, she still felt he looked incredibly like Xing Yun. Shen Li and Xing Yun hadn’t returned, so Mo Fang waited anxiously in the military camp. His fellow soldiers, knowing his feelings, couldn’t help but ask what exactly he liked about the princess. Thinking of Shen Li’s face, Mo Fang was filled with tenderness.

He had deep, unwavering affection for her, loved everything about her, and was willing to do anything for her. When Shen Li and Xing Zhi returned, Mo Fang was finally able to relax upon seeing her safe and sound. Shen Li asked how his injuries were healing. Remembering his confession earlier that day, she tried to keep some distance from him. Sensing Shen Li’s unease, Mo Fang admitted he didn’t want his impulsiveness to interfere with their battle.

Watching Mo Fang’s departing figure, Shen Li pondered: After hundreds of years, she had finally met a man who dared to confess to her, but the timing was wrong. Her heart was still filled with Xing Yun. Though he was no longer in this world, there was simply no room for anyone else. Moreover, she already had a betrothed—Fu Rong Jun—so she had no desire to become entangled with any other man.

Seeing that Shen Li had been at Xu Tian Abyss for a long time without word, the Spirit Lord personally performed a divination and sensed something was wrong. After hearing a report from a guard that Xing Zhi greatly resembled Xing Yun, he used the Shadow Concealment Art to go see for himself.

The moment the Spirit Lord saw Xing Zhi standing beside Shen Li, a chill ran down his spine—Xing Zhi was clearly the same person as Xing Yun, though Shen Li hadn’t realized it yet. The Spirit Lord urgently instructed Shen Li to return to the Spirit Realm. Shen Li hesitated, worried that the seal was not yet fully reinforced and that returning now would only complicate things.

With Xing Zhi also opposing her departure, the Spirit Lord could not insist further and simply urged Shen Li to strengthen the seal quickly and return as soon as possible.
