Liuli ignored the various sounds around her, and looked at Shichan with a worried gaze, frowning as she said, "Shichan, don't be naive. They went to so much trouble to kill me, but you ruined it. If you don't come with me, they won't let you go!"

Shi Chan sighed softly and said, "Miss, there's no need to say any more. Even if I die, I will never join the demon race's camp."

Yu Xin saw that she couldn't persuade Liuli anymore, while the hands of the many Buddhist disciples beside her shone brightly, illuminating their cold faces.

With a bitter expression, she thought to herself that Liuli was now seriously injured and unable to fight back, and she and Ge Yiyuan were also covered in injuries and exhausted. How could they possibly fight again?

A moment later, Yu Xin's eyes lit up. She tossed her purple umbrella into the air, its purple light illuminating the sky. Then she raised her head and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty, Miss Liuli is here!!"

Not satisfied with just one cry, she continued shouting without stopping, "Your Majesty, we're here! Miss Liuli is here!"

Suddenly, a dark figure shot over and landed beside the purple umbrella, then quickly descended into the valley. A flash of black light revealed Li Molin's figure.

After landing, Li Molin looked closely and easily found Liuli under the golden light in Shi Chan's hand. Seeing her weak appearance, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He strode over, bent down, snatched Liuli from Shichan's arms, and held her tightly in his embrace.

As Li Molin tried to embrace Liuli, Shi Chan released his hand. With a thought, the seven-jeweled kasaya on Liuli's body detached itself and flew back to him, disappearing from his sight.

Shortly after Li Molin landed, Yu Ke and a large number of demons followed suit. Under Yu Ke's command, they rushed towards the more than a thousand Buddhist disciples and engaged them in battle.

"Liuli..." The bloodstains on Liuli's pale face pierced Li Molin's heart, and his eyes reddened, tears welling up in his eyes. He looked down at her intently and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Liuli's voice was still a little weak as she replied, "Thank you for saving me."

Li Molin lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Liuli's. Liuli then felt a warm tear fall onto her face, which startled her.

Li Molin's voice was very low and somewhat hoarse as he said, "Liuli, it's my fault for only finding you now. It's my fault... that you've suffered so much..."

Li Molin was so close to her that his breath enveloped her completely. She could feel his heartache for her and his deep self-reproach, and she finally realized that he loved her so much.

Her love for Shi Chan was no less than her love for him.

Perhaps to confirm her thoughts, Liuli asked softly, "Li Molin, if I'm dead again when you find me this time, will you still use the Soul Summoning Incantation to save me once more?"

"Of course I will." Without a moment's hesitation, Li Molin said gently, "Then I'll use the half of my remaining life to save you one more time."

Liuli was stunned.

After a long while, Li Molin raised his head. He had stopped crying, but his red eyes showed that he had been crying. He looked down at Liuli with gentle eyes and said softly, "Let's go, Liuli, let's go home."

Liuli gradually came to her senses and softly replied, "Okay."

Li Molin finally turned his gaze away from Liuli's small face and looked at the chaotic battle ahead. He shouted, "Stop fighting! Yu Ke, give the order to all the clansmen to rescue the surviving divine beasts and retreat!"

Yu Ke stopped fighting and moved away from the battle, then called out, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

Without lingering, Li Molin moved and was about to fly away.
