Nian Wanzhou silently approached him and hugged him: "Second Senior Brother, actually I like you too, but I don't know what kind of liking it is. It doesn't matter now, if you really die, who will I bicker with in the future?"

"I've already lost Nan Yu, Third Senior Brother, I can't let you leave me too, can I? Senior Sisters still need you, don't be silly."

As she spoke, she hugged Lexi tightly, and the vitality in her body surged into Lexi's body, actually repairing all his injuries and turning his life around.

"I can save all of you, I really can, you have to believe me."

"I...I believe you, Wanwan. I can finally hold you. You have no idea how long I've waited for this day. I've wanted to hold you so much, and I've wanted you to hold me in person even more."

Wanwan, I like you, it's true.

Lexi reached out her trembling hand and hugged Nian Wanzhou back, then left a kiss on her cheek.

A kiss stained with blood.

This was Lexi's kiss; at the brink of death, he bravely kissed the person he loved.

Nian Wanzhou smiled even more broadly. Perhaps this day had come too late, too ill-timed. She couldn't reciprocate this affection, or rather, she could only offer a simple response at this moment.

"I'm so glad you really like me. Thank you for your affection, Lexi. This is the most sincere and enduring affection I've ever received. Thank you." The response, which was several years late, was finally delivered at the last minute.

Nian Wanzhou didn't kiss him back, but just hugged him: "Lexi, you must protect your senior sister for me from now on. This is what we agreed on when we first met. I'm leaving now, and from now on... you'll be the only one left to protect my senior sister and the others."

You promise me you won't go back on your word.

She fell ill before graduating high school. Being a diligent student, she had no time for romance; she was always busy studying. Later, after years of cancer treatment, she had even less opportunity to meet boys!

I don't understand love anyway, so I just did it.

Unfortunately, Lexi closed her eyes at the last moment, smiling contentedly.

Oh, he didn't die. He was just too tired and fell asleep suddenly after his injuries were repaired.

But it was also a state of being half-asleep and half-awake.

Nian Wanzhou got up and went to Wei Wenru's side.

"Senior sister, you know this is my mission." She channeled her life force into Wei Wenru, gently healing her wounds.

Her wand withstood the attacks of black mist, white bones, and even demons, giving her time to say goodbye. Otherwise, why would she be so foolish as to say goodbye and wait for those two bastards to kill them?

However, the wand is now proving its greatest use, acting as a double agent for its master, whereas it was once just a worthless fire poker.

Now... take off.

Otherwise, it would be a disservice to her enormous heart-protecting gemstone, and... to be honest, it's not very respectable to be born with the reputation of being a fire poker.

Holding the person she cared about most in her heart, Nian Wanzhou said contentedly, "Senior sister, the secret I couldn't tell you is that I have a collaboration with the Heavenly Dao, which is to bring you and senior brother together as Daoist partners and protect the two of you ascension."

You are the chosen one, and I am your stepping stone. The black mist is the evil that hinders you. I must clear the thorns from your path so that you may ascend.

But there's not enough time now, Mommy, I have to go.

Before Wei Wenru could say anything, Nian Wanzhou used a white light to send them all away to a safe location.

"Godfather, thank you for bringing me out of the secret realm, thank you for raising me like your own daughter. However, I have always carried a mission on my shoulders, and you can probably figure out what it is."

I'm leaving now, and I won't be able to take care of you anymore, but I'll be watching over you from heaven!

"Wanwan, listen to me, don't be like this. How can I, as your father, live with myself like this? Please don't go." Yuheng cried uncontrollably.

Nian Wanzhou gave Yuheng, who was nearly crying herself to death, a final hug. She then bid farewell to the sect leader, fellow disciples, and elders one by one, her smile radiant and lovely, just as if it were the first time they met.

Then, the eggshell that Yuheng had hidden, Nian Wanzhou, flew out.

It was instantly devoured and absorbed by Nian Wanzhou. This was... her unique inheritance, and an even stronger white light emanated from her body.

"So that's what was missing!"

Yuheng was also stunned. It turned out that the inheritance wasn't in Nian Wanzhou's parents, but had long since settled on the eggshell. He had never seen this kind of inheritance before. He had searched for more than ten years, and it turned out... it was right beside him.

Nian Wanzhou stood up and put away the fierce magic wand that had been battling the black mist. Lotus flowers bloomed beneath her feet as she walked step by step toward the bones and black mist. "Here I am, aren't I? I hope you can hold on, hehe."

Behind her, the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Sect cried out: "Junior Sister, come back! We don't need you to sacrifice yourself!"

"Wanwan, come back quickly!" Yuheng roared, suppressing her sobs.

Even the sect leader was no exception. He stood at the forefront, blocking the black mist, his entire appearance completely altered: "Little White Dragon, are you going back on our promise? You can't sacrifice yourself, you promised me!"

The other elders from the sects nearby echoed this sentiment: "Little White Dragon, you are but a junior, why should you bear such burdens? This is what we old folks should do. Come back!"

Only the older generation knows better that today's situation is entirely due to the sins that Bai Long was forced to commit back then.

And what about the mistakes made by these bystanders, powerless to do anything about it? Must we repeat the same errors? No way…

Everyone is calling for her to come back.

Some were willing to let her be sacrificed, while others were unwilling to lose her.

Nian Wanzhou turned around and smiled, looking at the unconscious Wei Wenru, and Yuheng and the others who were crying their eyes out.

Le Xi suddenly woke up at this moment. He looked at Nian Wanzhou in the air, got up and shouted in pain: "No! Come back, Nian Wanzhou, come back! You haven't done what you promised me! Come back!"

You're a liar, you're a liar, you can't leave me..."

But before he could finish speaking, before he could even express the love in his heart, he watched helplessly as she resolutely walked towards the center of the black mist, which was the deepest part.

Already appearing as a messenger of light, she parted her red lips slightly towards Lexi: "Take good care of my senior sister and senior brother."

Then, a burst of white light erupted from her body and shot into the sky, where countless wisps of black mist swirled and softened...

It has become non-aggressive.

The remaining death energy clinging to Lexi and the others was also taken away.

Once they regained their mobility, they fell heavily to the ground, but their disheveled state no longer affected them.

The entire continent was in ruins.

As the white light passed, the black mist dissipated, all things revived, and the whole world regained its light.

Only the black mist and white bones still floating in the abyss, along with the white light suppressing them, vividly tell them that it was real.

"Little White Dragon!"

"Junior Sister!"

"Wanwan, Wanwan..."
