Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

In the mountain temple, Zhu Yan said that he wanted to take out the Bai Ze Order from his body and return it to Wen Xiao so that she could use the Bai Ze power freely.

Zhu Yin said that today was not a good time, and that tomorrow at noon would be the perfect time to merge the Bai Ze Order and repair the Great Wilderness.

After some conversation, everyone decided to repair the Great Wilderness and merge the Bai Ze Order at noon tomorrow.

After the ceremony was completed at the mountain temple, everyone had nothing to do, so Nanzhi followed Yinglei to pick fruit.

Standing under a tree more than ten meters high, Nanzhi looked up at Yinglei who was climbing the tree and standing on the branches to reach the fruit.

Red fruits hang from the leafless branches, becoming the only bright spot among the snow and the dark rocks.

Seeing him making dangerous moves, Nanzhi was worried that he would fall down, so she reminded him: "Yinglei, be careful!"

"Yeah! Don't worry, Nanzhi, I... hey hey hey?!"

Although he said to reassure people, Yinglei lost his grip and fell from the tree. The snow on the branches fell down with a rustling sound. Nanzhi ran forward worriedly and got soaked in white.

Yinglei adjusted his posture in mid-air, turned over, and landed on his knees in a handsome manner.

He looked up at Nanzhi who was running towards him, and a bright and sunny smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Are you okay?!" Nanzhi ran to Yinglei.

Yinglei stood up and showed the red fruit in his hand to Nanzhi: "I reacted quickly, it's okay!"

"Here, try it. This fruit is very sweet."

Nanzhi took it.

Her white hands took the bright red fruit. The contrast between red and white made her hands look even softer and whiter, so slender and fragile that one would think they would break if touched.

Seeing that Nanzhi's head and body were covered with snow, Yinglei used all his strength to sweep the snow off Nanzhi's shoulders.

Seeing the crystals in her hair, he asked, "Are you cold?"

Nanzhi is weak and just now she ran over and got wet in the snow because she was worried about him. What if she catches a cold?

Yinglei suddenly regretted bringing her to pick fruit.

"It's not cold." Nanzhi shook his head. "I don't know why, but Kunlun Mountain isn't as cold as I thought."

She felt a sense of familiarity with Kunlun Mountain.

……

Recall the conversation I just had with Yingzhao.

Looking at Nanzhi who was chatting and laughing with Yinglei, Zhu Yan, who was standing in the snow in the distance, lowered his eyes and showed a complicated smile on his face.

Tomorrow is the night of the blood moon. Zhu Yin carries Li Lun's evil spirit. He is likely to collude with Li Lun to do something detrimental to Bai Ze Ling. However, repairing the Great Wilderness is imperative. In addition to dealing with the plans of Li Lun and Zhu Yin, the only thing he is worried about is Nan Zhi.

The memories were filled with Nanzhi's smiling face towards him, her annoyed look when she was angry, the strength with which she stepped on his foot, and... her tears.

If he died, would she be sad?

Never mind... I still don't want to see her cry.

She hoped that these people around her, the companions she considered important, Wen Xiao's gentleness, Pei Sijing's reliability, Zhuo Yichen's concern, Bai Jiu's attentiveness, and Ying Lei's vitality, could heal the pain that was planted in her heart because of his departure.

……

While eating the fruits picked by Yinglei, Nanzhi was bored and looked for books to read in the library of the mountain temple.

"This fruit is called the Heat Fruit. It grows in the snowy lands of Kunlun. It tastes sweet and sour. Eating it can fill your stomach and protect your body from the cold."

A clear and magnetic voice suddenly appeared.

Nanzhi looked at the tall man, whose every move was quite elegant, and saluted him: "Lord Zhuyin."

"Miss Shen." Zhu Yin asked curiously, "I wonder why Miss Shen appeared in the library?"

"I want to find a book to read." Nanzhi answered truthfully.

Zhu Yin looked at the bookshelf in front of him and said, "I know the library very well. What kind of books would Miss Shen like to read? I can recommend some."

Nanzhi couldn't think of anything for a moment, so she could only say, "Anything interesting will do."

Zhu Yin recommended to her a book that recorded Bing Yi's killing of Ying Long.

The bamboo slips record that Yinglong was the Great Wilderness and voluntarily allowed himself to be killed by Bingyi. He then became a star in the sky and returned to his rightful place, thus saving the entire Great Wilderness from collapse.

After reading it, Nanzhi casually pulled out the next scroll of bamboo slips.

It records the war between the two gods.

The two gods fought against each other and the decisive battle took place in the Yantian land of the Great Wilderness. Suddenly, the sky and the earth collapsed, the blood of the gods fell to the ground, and the immortal trees growing in the Yantian land were extinguished in large quantities.

Both gods fell, and the land of Yantian was affected by the blood of the gods. Due to the influence of the blood of the gods, the Eternal Burning Tree could never grow again.

Seeing Nanzhi holding a book and immersed in the world of the book, Zhu Yin left the library and set up a barrier in the library.

He had promised Li Lun that he would take Shen Nanzhi away from the mountain temple before their plan began, so it was appropriate to trap her in the library now.

……

into the night.

Nanzhi put down the book in his hand and was about to go find everyone, but he stiffened for a moment and then stood up.

She opened the door, and the barrier set up by Zhu Yin was like nothing. She looked blankly at the night sky twinkling with stars, as if she had been summoned by something, and walked step by step towards the top of Kunlun Mountain.

She walked out of the mountain temple, facing the falling snowflakes, and climbed to the highest point of Kunlun step by step.

The wind was blowing strongly, and the southern branch looked up at the sky.

The last rays of light from the twenty-eight constellations appeared in her eyes, and then dimmed.

She heard a voice of compassion.

"You go first, and I'll catch up with you later."

"It's really unfair for Bingyi to lose both of us one after another."

"But this is our fate, and we have no choice but to accept it."

"One hundred thousand years from now, your fate will begin to change, and the three of us will never meet again..."

Just a few short words shocked Nanzhi's soul, and she felt sad and helpless from the bottom of her heart.

A profound sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

Tears flowed unconsciously from her eyes. When Nanzhi regained consciousness, she looked at the endless snow-white mountains below and the dark sky above.

She asked, "Who are you?"

There was no sound, only the cold wind and loneliness between heaven and earth.

……

Mountain temple.

Sitting on the steps, Zhu Yan discussed with Zhuo Yichen and Ying Lei the unexpected situations that might be encountered when merging Bai Ze Ling tomorrow.

After formulating countermeasures for all possible scenarios, Zhu Yan said, "If the situation becomes uncontrollable and I can't suppress my anger, then kill me with your Cloud Light Sword."

Zhuo Yichen was shocked: "Didn't you say that as long as Nanzhi is by your side, your anger won't get out of control?"

"That's normal." Zhu Yan's voice was flat. "The blood moon is the time of extreme evil and violence. It is the time when the evil spirit is at its peak. It needs Nanzhi's divine blood to suppress it, but..."

"But what?" Ying Lei asked.

Zhu Yan looked at Ying Lei: "Nanzhi's blood and qi are weak. She has been drinking Xiao Jiu's medicine, but there is no improvement. I asked Ying Zhao today."

"Divine blood cannot be regenerated."

"What do you mean?" Zhuo Yichen's bad premonition became stronger.

"What I mean is..." Zhu Yan clenched his clasped hands even tighter, "Use Nanzhi's divine blood little by little until it's all used up."

"Nanzhi's divine blood was originally low, which is why she was deficient in energy and blood when she was young. Now she has used up a lot of the divine blood in her body to save those killed by Cheng Huang. If she uses it again to suppress my violent aura, I'm afraid her life will be in danger."

"If that's the case, I'd rather die."
