Ye Luoli: The tides rise and fall, the moon whispers softly.

[Pear Pear reminds you that there is an important vote at the end of this chapter]

"Luo Li, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Whether it's due to amnesia or being manipulated, the facts remain the same, and Jin Litong has no way to defend herself against what has already happened.

But who is to blame for this?

We can't blame Jin Litong for being instigated, nor can we blame Jasmine for being manipulated.

Ultimately, the real culprit behind this situation is... Mandora!

"Mandora! One day I will make you pay the price!" Lori gripped the Heart-Stem Holy Staff tightly, and in that moment she seemed to transform back into the high and mighty little princess she had been years ago.

"As for you..." Luo Li looked at Jin Litong, who was apologizing, but was still a little angry: "I still need to think carefully about our relationship."

There was indeed an unexpected incident involving Jasmine between Luo Li and Jin Litong.

Fortunately, during the time Jin Litong and Jasmine spent together, they mostly just enjoyed the scenery, chatted, or held a few tea parties, without engaging in any inappropriate behavior.

Jasmine also complained to her, saying that her relationship with Jin Litong was more like that of good friends than lovers.

Otherwise, Luo Li would never have accepted Jin Litong again; otherwise, there would always be a thorn between them, causing them both pain.

However, although there was no major problem in principle, Luo Li still felt a little uncomfortable, so she simply brought it up directly to give the two of them some time to think.

"Luo Li, I'm sorry. I will never let you down again, and I will never act on your behalf again. Please forgive me." Jin Litong knew what Luo Li was angry about, but what had happened could not be undone. He could only make a promise as best he could and treat Luo Li better in the future.

"Let's observe for a while first." Luo Li softened as well. After all, this was someone she had risked her life to protect, so how could she just give up on her?

However, she quickly remembered something:

“Jin Litong, I feel we should go to the Pure Water Lake to thank the Water Prince. If it weren’t for him, we would probably still be kept in the dark by Mandora.”

“Okay, then I’ll go with you.” Jin Litong had no objection to this.

As Jin Litong spoke, he tried to take Luo Li's hand, but she dodged it. So he could only follow Luo Li dejectedly to the Pure Water Lake.

【A Fairyland, a Pure Water Lake】

"Ye Luoli Magic, Heart Light Powder, Princess Luo Li presents her visiting card!" Standing by the Pure Water Lake, Luo Li patiently awaited Shui Qingli's reply.

Shui Qingli, who was in the Shui Linglong Palace, had expected their arrival.

"Ye Luoli Magic, Water Droplets Condensate, Water Reincarnation!" Shui Qingli cast a spell, and Luo Li and Jin Litong, who were on the shore, were each surrounded by a water bubble.

In fact, Shui Qingli didn't like people coming to his Shui Linglong Palace, but since Luo Li and Jin Litong had come from afar, he couldn't very well not let them go back immediately.

Therefore, Shui Qingli could only come up with this compromise: to use her magic to isolate them.

"Please come in, both of you."

The lake water parted automatically, forming a channel. Luo Li and Jin Litong exchanged a glance and then dived to the bottom of the lake.

Seeing the two people who came in together, Shui Qingli sighed, "Seeing that you two have finally reconciled, it's not like all your efforts were in vain."

"Please have a seat." Shui Qingli waved her hand, and a light blue sofa appeared in the main hall.

"..." In front of outsiders, Luo Li naturally wouldn't offend Jin Litong, so she didn't refute Shui Qingli's words, nor did she break free from Jin Litong's insistence on holding her hand.

This created the illusion for Shui Qingli that they had reconciled.

Yes, although Jin Litong was trying her best to make it seem like it wasn't an illusion.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this, otherwise we would probably still be in the dark," Luo Li said sincerely.

"Yes, it's all Mandora's fault!" Jin Litong felt angry when she thought about how she had been deceived.

"Prince Jin, you're too kind," Shui Qingli said politely, but in her heart she was thinking about what would happen next.

If he hadn't intervened in time, Jin Litong would have suffered far more than just this at the hands of Mandora.

“However, there are some things that can’t be resolved no matter what.” Jin Litong said with some regret, “Although I don’t want to admit it, Mandora is right. My and Luo Li’s attributes are destined to make us rise and fall. As long as Luo Li is by my side, she will become weaker.”

Jin Litong still remembered that when Luo Li fell into a deep sleep after having her heart severed for him, Mandora appeared before him and said the following to her:

"The stronger you are, the weaker she becomes. Money should serve love, but now people have become slaves to money."

"The only way to protect her is to stay away from her!"

If it weren't for this reason, how could Jin Litong have been willing to completely sever ties with Luo Li back then?
