The space remained as it always had, hazy and tranquil.

Shi Lan stood there blankly for a while, then sighed and took two steps forward.

With his back to her, Haoze said calmly, "What? You can't bear to part with me?"

Shi Lan blinked, then smiled a little shyly, "A little."

Haoze suddenly turned around, his dark eyes, as black as the night sky, staring intently at her, somewhat aggressively.

"You can't bear to part with that kid?"

Shi Lan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's not just him, there are others too."

Haoze pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and then said, "You are destined to be just a passerby there. If you invest too much emotion, you will only hurt yourself. You must keep this in mind."

Shi Lan nodded. She had already realized this when she agreed to Mingxiao's request. However, after experiencing various things, her mindset changed without her realizing it, and she gained a different understanding of people and things.

Haoze felt slightly relieved to see that she wasn't stubbornly refusing to admit it like before.

He understood Shi Lan. Since she nodded, it meant that she agreed. In other words, she didn't really keep all the people and things in the lower world deep in her heart or imprint them in her mind.

"Take a break. You did a great job this time. The task was fraught with difficulties, and the person who made the wish is grateful for your hard work and has shared half of their blessings in the hope that it can help you."

Shi Lan's eyes widened. Half of one's blessings is already the limit for the recipient; this is equivalent to the giver sharing all the good fortune of their next life with Shi Lan. Therefore, Shi Lan subconsciously asked, "What about her? What will happen?"

Haoze moved his fingers, calculated, and said, "In the next life, you will also be a daughter of an official, but your fate will be somewhat bumpy, but your life will be safe, and you will have a peaceful old age surrounded by your children and grandchildren."

Shi Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps because she had spent so much time in that world and experienced such vivid joys and sorrows, she felt very close to this child and sincerely hoped that the child could be happy.

Haoze pointed to the edge of the stone platform, and a futon suddenly appeared.

"You were too influenced by the wisher during this mission. If it weren't for a stroke of luck, you might have lost your life. To avoid repeating the same mistake, you will cultivate here until I give you permission to descend to the mortal realm."

Shi Lan had already regretted her previous actions, and Hao Ze's suggestion was exactly what she wanted.

Seeing her obediently sit cross-legged in meditation, Haoze smiled slightly. At least she knew what was important and stopped being stubborn and defiant.

The space was as bright as day, while it was pitch black outside. Shi Lan didn't know how long she had been in meditation. When she opened her eyes, she saw Haoze sitting opposite her, his eyes closed and his thin lips pursed.

Shi Lan stared at him, her gaze sliding over his full forehead, handsome eyebrows, and high nose bridge before finally settling on his rosy lips.

Haoze remained motionless, as if he were asleep.

Shi Lan watched for a while longer, but Hao Ze still didn't understand, so Shi Lan gradually became bolder.

Tilting her head, she carefully peered at him. Then, using her legs, she slowly leaned forward, bringing her face closer to his and scrutinizing him with her large eyes.

Her skin is so smooth, you can't even see the pores up close. Her eyelashes are long and curled, like two little fans. Her mouth is also very pretty, slightly upturned. She must look beautiful when she smiles.

Unfortunately, he always had a stern face and never smiled.

Shi Lan clicked her tongue quietly.

Haoze's eyelashes twitched slightly, startling Shi Lan. She hurriedly retreated, but in her haste, she couldn't turn her leg around in time and ended up awkwardly landing on her bottom.

Haoze opened his eyes and saw her grimacing and pursing her lips. "You can't even concentrate when you're meditating."

Shi Lan grinned and awkwardly moved her leg back.

Haoze shook his head slightly, got up and walked towards the edge of the space.

Shi Lan glanced at him and saw that he wasn't paying attention to them. She quickly rubbed her inner thigh. She must have strained it just now. If she weren't in her soul state, she probably would have cried out in pain.

Haoze put one hand behind his back and the other in front of him. "Soul repair is not something that can be done in a day. Your injuries have recovered somewhat. As long as you don't overexert yourself, you should be fine."

Shi Lan hummed in agreement and looked down at herself.

The ethereal state she had been in before was gone. Although she was not as solid as before, she was still doing alright, at least better than when she first started the mission.

A vortex appeared in the air, and Shi Lan slowly got up and walked over.

The vortex suddenly spun rapidly, and a suction force swept her up, slowly sending her into those bizarre and fantastical worlds.

Haoze's ears twitched. After a moment, he turned around and looked at the gradually shrinking vortex. His fair and jade-like face finally turned red little by little. The intoxicating blush was like the finest rouge spreading, a light pink and a few red dots, blending together and slowly spreading.

Haoze closed his eyes slightly, tilted his head back, and slowly slid his fingers down his forehead, just like Shi Lan's gaze had just passed.

Haoze's lips curled up, and after a long while, a smile appeared on his face. The smile contained a hint of shyness, a touch of joy, and a deep sense of anticipation.

At this moment, Shi Lan, who had just entered the body, was experiencing a life-or-death ordeal.

The blinding light shone directly on me, and a strange, mechanical beeping sound came from my ears. A male voice seemed to drift away from the distant ends of the world.

"Quickly, start the blood plasma transfusion..."

Shi Lan was in a daze when a sharp pain struck her stomach, and in the blink of an eye, she fell into darkness.

Memories immediately flooded my mind.

The original owner, Shi Lan, was a well-behaved girl with excellent grades and conduct from childhood to adulthood. She was always first in the whole school in elementary school, and she was also the top student for the first two years of junior high school. In the third year, a transfer student named Yi Ran came to the school, and the situation of the original owner standing out alone changed. The two began to compete on equal footing, taking turns sitting on the first seat.

Upon entering high school, she met two boys. One inflicted a deep wound on her heart, while the other ruined her life.
