I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

"Don't look at me like that, it's scary." Xie Fengnan said when he met her gaze.

Chi Yanli's eyes held a complex mix of emotions; she knew that none of this really had much to do with Xie Fengnan.

Moreover, he indirectly helped himself.

The thought that if it weren't for what happened today, Yan Jian would still be pretending to be nice to him would have made him feel guilty.

Blazing Flame Glass couldn't help but shiver.

Although she wasn't sure if it was all a coincidence or if someone had done it on purpose.

But overall, the outcome is still good.

"Thank you." Chi Yanli carefully put away the pair of keys and thanked Xie Fengnan.

Xie Fengnan waved his hand, "Oh, you're welcome."

"Next, I want to go find Ayu."

"Ah Yu is... that Wind Spirit from just now? Do you know where he is?"

"Yes, I remember now." Blazing Flame Li looked at the land.

When the Spirit Origin Realm was suddenly struck by a calamity, she, the Earth Spirit, and the Water Spirit all suffered severe injuries.

When she woke up, most of her past memories were fragmented pieces.

Although she had no memory, her bodily instincts remained, so her presence caused strange phenomena in this land.

The Yan people, who discovered the strange phenomenon, naturally revered her as a saint, offering daily sacrifices and praying for her protection.

At first, she accepted this honor with a naive mind and used her abilities to benefit the Yan people.

But as time went by, generation after generation of Yan people gradually forgot about it.

This honor stems from the heartfelt reverence and gratitude of the original Yan people.

By Yan Jian's generation, they had taken her protection for granted.

They didn't care who stepped forward when the epidemic raged.

They didn't care who would shoulder the heavy responsibility when the dead were everywhere.

When the elderly people recount her story, their tone is flat, as if they are merely recounting an old, trivial matter.

Blazing Flame treated them with sincerity, did many things for them, and brought them numerous benefits, but they didn't actually give Blazing Flame anything in return.

Instead, they set their sights on her today.

Yan Jian coveted her power and secretly plotted to gain her trust.

As one of the Four Spirits, she wouldn't have been so easily suppressed. It was Yan Jian who gradually fed his power to the necklace.

That's what gives it the ability to suppress itself.

If it weren't for that necklace, the Blood Shadow Envoy wouldn't have been held hostage by them.

Thinking about her past with Yan Jian, Chi Yan Li felt like vomiting.

She hesitated, wondering if she should still go to find Ayu.

Although nothing actually happened between her and Yan Jian, not even a kiss, they did hold hands.

Moreover, I've mistaken him for A-Yu for so many years.

Will Ayu be angry?

"Do you think... I can still go find A-Yu?" Chi Yanli briefly recounted what had happened over the years, then hesitated before asking Xie Fengnan.

"Go, why don't you go?"

"But..." I feel unclean.

Xie Fengnan interrupted her, "He deceived you with ulterior motives; it's not your fault."

"Besides, nothing actually happened between you two. Even if something did happen, it's the perpetrator's fault. We don't condone victim-blaming."

Logically speaking, if Chi Yanli's lover were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago, given that she has lived for so long.

If he's not an ordinary person, it's highly unusual for him to suddenly reappear after being out of sight for so many years.

Chi Yanli was initially suspicious, but she discovered that Yan Jian was carrying the love token lock when he didn't take it out on his own initiative.

Therefore, they believed Yan Jian's fabricated story.

She claimed to be the reincarnation of her lover, and that her words and actions differed from those of her previous life because of this reincarnation.

But he fell in love with Blazing Flame at first sight, and seeing her brought back memories of his past life, and so on.

In short, they completely charmed and fooled people.

Looking back now, it's possible that Yan Jian was acting and deliberately letting him see it.

The fact that he was able to get the lock and make up such a story suggests that he might have done something to Ayu.

Thinking of this, Chi Yanli felt a little regretful that she hadn't made him die a more miserable death.

"I'm going to find him right now." She had made up her mind.

Even if Ayu is angry or bothered, I still have to go see him and say thank you and apology.

"That's right." Xie Fengnan readily agreed. Now they've found another one of the Four Spirits.

"Back then, after A Yuan, A Qing, and I were severely injured, we were sent away from the Spirit Origin Realm one after another."

"I suspect that the secret realm has not collapsed yet because Ayu has been keeping it running."

"That's probably why he can only send a weak clone to find me now."

"Do you want to come with me to find him?"

Chi Yanli regained her memories and learned that Xie Fengnan's purpose was not just to find a ball of fire.

She could only guess that Fuyao Yu was still in the Spirit Source Realm, and that he might know the whereabouts of the other spirits.

"I need to go back and bring my brothers with me first," Xie Fengnan replied honestly.

Blazing Flame Glass nodded gently, "I also need to say goodbye to the remaining Flame Clan members. Let's go together."

Xie Fengnan responded, and the two walked down the road, each lost in their own thoughts.

The atmosphere remained silent.

Then the Yan tribe gradually came into view, with wisps of smoke rising from the wooden houses.

Everything was peaceful, yet it inexplicably made Chi Yanli feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

Once upon a time, this was also her place of refuge.

As the two entered the tribe, everyone's eyes fell on them.

"It's the Holy Maiden! The Holy Maiden has arrived!"

"Why is the Holy Maiden walking with this outsider?"

Blazing Flame Li walked straight to the campfire in the center of the tribe, the place where she had once dispelled the darkness and brought warmth to the Flame Clan.

"Everyone, I was honored as a saintess because of your respect, but today a series of unexpected events have occurred." Blazing Flame Li revealed what had happened not long ago.

Her gaze slowly swept over the crowd, her voice calm yet distant.

"Now that I have regained my memories, I am ready to leave this place. From now on, you will have to walk your own path."

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

An elderly man stepped forward, trembling. "Holy Maiden, are you really going to abandon us? Without you, the Yan Clan will suffer countless calamities..."

Chi Yanli looked at him, a ripple of emotion stirring within her.

But she knew very well that she had done more than enough for the Yan Clan.

Just as she was about to speak, the person who had spoken up for Yan Xiang earlier stepped forward again.

He said confidently, "Holy Maiden, although our clan did produce a scoundrel like Yan Jian who betrayed your trust, we did nothing wrong! The Yan clan cannot do without you!"

Blazing Flame Li's gaze fell on him, her tone cold and hard, "I came here today not to discuss anything with you, but simply to inform you that I am leaving."

"I have done enough for the Yan Clan, but what about you?"
