Yi Xiao and Qin Yun exchanged glances.
Both saw surprise in each other's eyes, mixed with overwhelming gratitude.
They were about to bow toward Fu Long Mountain when the world changed around them, and they found themselves outside the mountain.
"Qin Yun (Yi Xiao) expresses deepest thanks to the Saint Mother for saving our lives!"
Both knelt outside the mountain.
They remained there for nine whole days before finally getting up to leave.
...
In Fu Long Mountain.
A beautiful shadow sat cross-legged on a boulder in the mountain, her figure thin and her silhouette forlorn. Infinite sadness and solitude enveloped her, casting a poignant shadow on the striking woman.
Yet, in her eyes, there remained a glimmer of hope.
Like the stone she sat on, she did not move.
Two figures approached from a distance, a man and a woman, landing before the mountain. When they arrived, Qin Yun and Yi Xiao were still kneeling outside. Seeing this, they immediately understood the whole story.
