The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

She searched for the source of the purifying power in that bright world, and finally, at the core of the Holy Crystal, she found a ball of pure white light, like a sleeping giant beast.

Lan Yunyan approached cautiously, trying to awaken this power.

Outside, Ling Xiu Han was fending off the demon's attacks alone, and the pressure was growing.

The demon seemed to have sensed something was wrong with Lan Yunyan, and it increased the intensity of its attack, trying to break through Ling Xiuhan's defensive barrier.

Ling Xiuhan's whole body was filled with magical power, and sweat soaked his clothes, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Lan Yunyan finally succeeded in awakening the power of purification within the Saint Crystal's inner world. With this powerful force, she slowly withdrew from the Saint Crystal's inner world.

When she opened her eyes, they shone with a dazzling white light. Lan Yunyan held the Holy Crystal of Light in both hands and slowly channeled the power of purification.

This power flowed towards the demon like a clear spring. The demon, sensing the approach of the purifying force, tried to dodge in fear, but was restrained by Ling Xiuhan and could not escape.

The moment the purifying power touched the demon, the demon let out a shrill scream.

The dark aura on its body quickly dissipated like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, and its huge body began to gradually shrink.

Ling Xiu Han took the opportunity to launch a final attack, gathering all his magic power on the magic sword and stabbing it fiercely at the demon.

The magic sword pierced through the demon's body, and the demon turned into a ball of black smoke and completely dissipated into the air.

With the demon's disappearance, the darkness in the valley gradually dissipated, and sunlight once again streamed down. Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan collapsed to the ground exhausted, their faces covered in sweat, but their eyes brimming with the joy of victory.

"We have defeated the darkness again." Lan Yunyan said weakly.

Ling Xiuhan reached out and gently grasped Lan Yunyan's hand, "Yes, as long as we join hands, the darkness will not prevail."

After this battle, Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan's relationship deepened. They stayed in the valley for several days to recuperate and further explore the power of the Holy Crystal of Light.

On a quiet night, moonlight streamed across the valley like water. Ling Xiuhan brought Lan Yunyan to a lake in the valley. The lake reflected the bright moon and numerous stars, like a giant mirror.

Ling Xiu Han took out a carefully crafted magic crystal necklace from his arms. The magic crystal on the necklace was shining with a faint blue light, just like his deep eyes.

He gently walked behind Lan Yunyan and put the necklace around her neck. "This magic crystal necklace can help you better control the power of the Holy Crystal of Light. It is also my protection for you."

Lan Yunyan stroked the necklace, her heart filled with emotion, "Thank you, Xiuhan."

In this quiet valley, they hugged each other, enjoying this rare tranquility and sweetness.

However, they also know that the road ahead is still full of unknowns and challenges. But as long as they stay together, the faith in their hearts will be like a lighthouse that never goes out, illuminating the way forward.

Whether it is light or darkness, they will face it hand in hand and never leave each other.

After spending a few more days of warmth and tranquility in the valley, Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yun Yan realized that they each had missions and responsibilities in different worlds and had to separate temporarily.

Although they were reluctant to leave, they still resolutely embarked on their journey home. Ling Xiuhan returned to the Demon Realm, while Lan Yunyan headed towards the God Realm.

The moment Lan Yunyan stepped into the divine realm, a long-lost sense of familiarity washed over her. The divine realm's radiance remained as bright and sacred as ever, the celestial palace looming in the auspicious clouds, spirit birds dancing, and celestial music drifting in the air.

She walked towards her residence with great joy, eager to share her experiences and insights in the human world with her former companions, especially the moments she had fought side by side with Ling Xiu Han. Those memories were invaluable to her.

However, she never expected that a sudden conspiracy was quietly waiting for her.

When she returned to her fairy palace, she found that the place that was usually bustling with people was now filled with a strange silence.

Before she could react, a group of fairies and immortals from the divine realm surrounded her, their eyes filled with blame and anger.

"Lan Yunyan, you are so brave!" A fairy named Zi Ling stood up and pointed at Lan Yunyan's nose and scolded her.

She held a broken artifact in her hand, which emitted a faint light, as if telling her own experience.

Lan Yunyan looked bewildered. "Fairy Zi Ling, what's going on? Why are you questioning me so angrily?"

Fairy Zi Ling sneered, "Hmph, you still dare to feign ignorance? This artifact is a sacred object of my divine realm, always enshrined in the temple, yet it was discovered damaged near your immortal palace. Besides you, who else would have the courage and ability to commit such a heinous act?"

The fairies around echoed the criticism, and the accusations continued.

Lan Yunyan was furious, but she tried to remain calm. "Fairy Zi Ling, I, Lan Yunyan, am a man of integrity and would never do such a thing. Someone must have deliberately framed me. Please investigate."

Fairy Zi Ling disagreed. "Hmph, the evidence is irrefutable, yet you still dare to quibble. You've been hanging out with people from the Demon Realm in the human world. Who knows if you've been corrupted by the forces of darkness and committed such a betrayal of the divine realm?"

Lan Yunyan could no longer suppress her rage upon hearing this. She knew full well that these fairies had always been critical of her relationship with Ling Xiuhan, and were simply using this opportunity to completely suppress her.

She took a deep breath and decided not to passively accept the accusations, but to take the initiative to find out the truth and clear her name.

Lan Yunyan closed her eyes and mobilized her spiritual energy, trying to sense if there was any residual aura or clues around her. After a moment, she opened her eyes, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

She walked towards the garden behind the fairy palace. Seeing this, everyone followed her, wanting to see what tricks she was going to play.

In the corner of the garden, Lan Yunyan discovered some subtle footprints and a strange fluctuation of spiritual power.
