I slept for a whole day and night. According to Sang Yan, I almost couldn't wake up.

So in the following days, I was constantly taken care of and Sang Yan filled me in on what I had missed.

After I was captured by Master Mingzhai, Yi Jianghan woke up.

Following the amulet he gave me, he traced my whereabouts, only to find the amulet discarded halfway and I was nowhere to be found.

Then he saw the beam of golden light shooting straight into the sky.

At that time, he thought the ritual was over and we were all dead.

As for why I slept for so long, Sang Yan felt quite embarrassed.

She gave me too much mana, the accumulated power from hundreds of years of cultivation, all given to me.

As a mortal, naturally, I couldn't bear it.

Not to mention that I not only took in so much mana, but also quickly used it up in an improper way, damaging my meridians even more.

I felt deeply regretful when I found out.

If I had used the right method at that time, could it be said that I would have had enough strength to kill Master Mingzhai?

Sang Yan gnawed on a duck neck and rolled her eyes at me, telling me to just say it if I didn't want to live anymore.

She self-immolated her immortal bone, although her life was safe, she became a mortal.

But she didn't feel the least bit regretful, on the contrary, she was full of joy.

"What's so good about being an immortal? There are so many rules in heaven, nothing to eat or play with. It's better to be a mortal and be comfortable."

She patted my shoulder and told me not to worry about it. Even if they didn't save me, they would have been drained of their mana by Master Mingzhai and used to activate the Blue Lotus Lamp. It's better to save me.

Master Mingzhai, seeing that the situation was irretrievable, self-destructed.

The loud noise I heard when I fell asleep was the sound of his self-destruction.

At that time, we were far away and were not affected. It is said that the few who were in the front were lying in their own immortal mansions recovering from their injuries!

Although I didn't witness the scene of them fighting each other, at least I heard it, which made up for some regrets.

Things seemed to be developing in a good direction, the only thing that made me uneasy was that I still hadn't seen Yi Jianghan.

And no one has held me accountable for the destruction of the Blue Lotus Lamp.

I don't believe they would be so forgiving.

First, Sang Yan told me that Yi Jianghan went back to the Heavenly Court to deal with the matter of the Lotus Peak.

Later, I became suspicious, and she finally told me the truth.

Yi Jianghan took on all the blame, enduring the thunder punishment and then removing his immortal bone.

He was afraid that I would be angry if I found out, so he didn't tell me all this time.

I was indeed angry. It was clearly something I did, so why should he suffer for me?

But when he stood pale in front of me, I couldn't bear to be angry at him.

"You also know that those immortals are the most unscrupulous. They always have to give them an explanation."

"Besides, losing an immortal bone and leaving the Heavenly Court, it's quite a good deal for me, don't you think?"

He wiped away my tears and when I refused to look at him, he sighed.

"I told you not to tell her. She has a kind heart, and if she knew all this, she would definitely feel responsible for me. But I'm also afraid of making her feel wronged. What should I do?"

It seemed like he was talking to Sang Yan, but when I raised my head, I directly collided with his smiling eyes.

I tilted my head to look at him, and just looking at him made his ears turn slightly red.

It's so strange!

Why is it that some people sound righteous at first listen, but when you think about it carefully, it's all just empty words?

No, I have to capture him and study him further. I need to understand how he can be so selfless and caring, willing to sacrifice himself for others.

As I pondered over these thoughts, Yi Jianghan gently took my hand and brought it to his lips, planting a soft kiss on my knuckles.

"I did it because I love you," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity.

My heart skipped a beat, and all my doubts and questions seemed to fade away in that moment. I could see the truth in his eyes, the depth of his emotions.

With tears streaming down my face, I threw my arms around him and held him tightly. I didn't need any more explanations or justifications. His love was enough to fill my heart.

From that day forward, we faced the challenges and joys of life together. Yi Jianghan's sacrifice was not in vain, as it brought us closer than ever before.

The Heavenly Court eventually pardoned him for his actions, recognizing his bravery and selflessness. We were allowed to live freely in the mortal realm, away from the constraints of the divine realm.

We traveled far and wide, exploring the world and experiencing the wonders it had to offer. We created beautiful memories together, cherishing each moment as if it were a precious gem.

Years passed, and our love only grew stronger. We aged gracefully, our hair turning silver and our faces lined with the wisdom of a life well-lived.

In the end, we returned to the Lotus Peak, where it all began. The mountain stood tall and majestic, a testament to the trials we had overcome.

Hand in hand, we walked along the familiar paths, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future.

As the sun set behind the mountains, casting a warm glow on the world, Yi Jianghan turned to me with a smile.

"No matter what challenges come our way, we will face them together, my love," he said, his voice filled with unwavering determination.

I smiled back at him, my heart filled with gratitude for the love we shared.

And so, our story continues, entwined in the threads of fate, as we embrace the journey ahead, hand in hand.
