As the Firefly departed, Cold Moon and Su Yue stood on the cliff edge to see them off. Countless points of light rose simultaneously, drifting into the distance, both delicate and resolute.

For a moment, Leng Yue felt as if something had left her heart along with her, and she suddenly felt very reluctant to let it go.

"Su Yue?" Leng Yue called softly. Su Yue withdrew his gaze and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Do you think Edelweiss has some reason why it has to leave?" Leng Yue asked dejectedly. "Maybe, like us, they each have something they're looking for?"

“Yes,” Su Yue nodded, turning to look at the increasingly distant point of light. “We all have reasons to leave, we all have something to pursue.”

That's what she said, but Leng Yue remained very downcast. After returning home, she hid inside the flower basket.

Su Yue glanced at her, and seeing her like this, he didn't disturb her, quietly cultivating to the side.

After an unknown amount of time, Leng Yue fell into a deep sleep and drifted into dreamland. This time, she dreamt of Qian Chen again. It was still the same cave, and Qian Chen was still unconscious, but the wounds on his body had disappeared. The armadillo-like monster had also vanished.

Leng Yue softly called out to Qian Chen, "Wake up, Qian Chen. I missed you so much. I brought you a protective talisman. Please wake up."

Qianchen, however, remained oblivious to Lengyue's calls, like a sleeping beauty.

Leng Yue approached Qian Chen, climbed onto his face, and poked his cheek with her finger, but Qian Chen didn't react. Looking at his sexy, thin lips, Leng Yue wondered if she should imitate Sleeping Beauty's kissing scene.

Thinking it over, Leng Yue leaned down and kissed him. However, the difference in their height and build was huge; Leng Yue's entire face was only as big as Qian Chen's mouth.

Although Leng Yue buried her face in Qian Chen's lips, feeling wonderful and comfortable, Qian Chen showed no signs of waking up.

"Sigh, I knew this wouldn't work," Leng Yue sighed.

"Should I grow bigger? If I grow bigger, will kissing be more effective?" Leng Yue crossed her arms and looked at Qian Chen in deep thought.

But how can she grow bigger? Leng Yue has been finding it difficult to cultivate lately, always feeling something is wrong, but she can't pinpoint the reason. Forget growing bigger, she can't even find her dantian right now.

For some reason, I started cultivating naturally last time and even transformed into human form. But recently I've completely lost my direction. I wonder if it's because I've become human that my previous plant-like nature is slowly disappearing.

Unbeknownst to them, Leng Yue fell asleep on Qian Chen's face.

Inside the Flowing Cloud Cave, Su Yue suddenly opened his eyes, staring in surprise at the light before him, muttering to himself, "Just like last time, is it going to change again? I wonder what she will become this time?"

Unbeknownst to Su Yue, Bai Shu, who was below the mountain, had sensed the light emanating from the cold moon the moment it appeared. Bai Shu gazed thoughtfully in the direction of Liuyun Cave, seemingly debating whether to go up and investigate.

Upon seeing Princess Yu Luo, Bai Shu withdrew his gaze. This was a rare opportunity to spend time with Princess Yu Luo, so he decided not to go.

Leng Yue slept very comfortably this time, even more comfortably than last time. As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed in, Leng Yue opened her eyes and stretched lazily.

"Ah~ So comfortable! Ah!!!!" Leng Yue suddenly screamed, waking Su Yue up.

Su Yue rubbed his eyes. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? And...you...you're Jianjia? No...no...Jianjia, it can't be Jianjia!"

"It's me!" Leng Yue finally stopped her rampant growth, looking at the somewhat crazed Su Yue with a hint of exasperation. So what if he's gotten bigger? Why is his vision so bad?

People say that those who grow quickly grow fast, that they grow as soon as they see the wind. But Leng Yue is different; she grows like crazy as soon as she sees the sunlight. When Leng Yue woke up, she was lying peacefully in the flower basket. The moment she opened her eyes and saw the sunlight, she began to grow rapidly. By the time Su Yue opened his eyes, Leng Yue had already grown into a perfectly normal young woman.

"Are you Leng Yue?" Su Yue asked uncertainly.

"Hmm, besides me, who else has told you the story of 'Journey to the West'?" Leng Yue said, reciting a few classic lines from the story.

This time, however, Su Yue didn't laugh. Instead, he stared intently at Leng Yue's face. Leng Yue, who had been smiling, gradually lost her smile under Su Yue's gaze. "Is there something wrong with me?"

Su Yue nodded, then shook his head. "You're really not Jianjia?"

Leng Yue asked, puzzled, "Who is Jianjia?"

“That’s right, how could it be Jianjia? You two don’t look alike at all.” Su Yue looked at the others through the cold moon once again.

"Is Jianjia your lover?" Leng Yue asked tentatively.

Leng Yue had only asked casually, not expecting any response. Unexpectedly, Su Yue answered, "Jianjia and I are childhood sweethearts; we grew up together. I thought we would be together forever, until the arrival of the Bamboo Fungus Clan..."

"You've fallen for someone else?" Leng Yue asked, but then felt it was somewhat impossible. When Su Yue saw Yu Luo before, he didn't seem happy.

However, Su Yue did not answer directly. "Yu Luo is a very charming girl. When the Zhu Sun clan first arrived, she would always surround Jian Jia and me, constantly pestering us. At that time, Jian Jia and I treated her like a little sister."

"Then you fell for someone else?" Leng Yue scoffed. "What brother and sister nonsense? You're kidding me."

“…You’re really direct,” Su Yue said helplessly. “You’re right. Back then, I didn’t know that the relationship between brother and sister would change. At first, I didn’t think much of it. But…”

“It’s just that Jianjia felt it wasn’t right and told me to stay away from Yuluo.” Su Yue’s face was filled with nostalgia. “You don’t know what a gentle girl Jianjia was. Every word she spoke was soft and gentle. She was so wonderful…”

"So you got tired of it and started to like Yu Luo?" Leng Yue became increasingly annoyed and couldn't help but interrupt Su Yue.

Su Yue sighed helplessly, "Can you let me finish?"

"Hmph!" Leng Yue turned her face away, but really didn't say another word.

“Back then, I just wanted to tease Jianjia, so I deliberately treated Yuluo better.” When Leng Yue heard Su Yue’s words, she wanted to knock his head open, but she didn’t say anything.

"That day was also the Immortal Festival. Back then, the Firefly Flower couldn't fly away yet, and Immortal Mountain was still our Immortal Mountain. That day, I only brought Jade Fall down the mountain to celebrate. After I came back, Jianjia disappeared. I searched all over Immortal Mountain but couldn't find Jianjia. I thought she was just being petty, and I thought she would come back soon. I never expected that I would wait for five hundred years." Su Yue heard Leng Yue's cold snort and looked up at her.

“For the past five hundred years, I have missed her every moment, but I haven’t heard a word from Jianjia. Yuluo has learned all of Jianjia’s qualities, and after a drunken night, I did something with her that I will regret for the rest of my life.” Su Yue spoke casually, but Leng Yue was burning with rage.

"You're lying, aren't you?" Leng Yue hadn't expected this person to be such a hypocrite, so she didn't want to stay with him and left after saying that.

Su Yue stood frozen in place, staring in the direction Leng Yue had left. His fingers twitched slightly, and his back bent low...
