"Perhaps we can ask him!"

Xie Huo and Hei Xiangling both looked at her at the same time: "Who?"

"Wen Chuyu!"

As she spoke, Ji Jiuying looked up at the air and said, "Chu Yu, I know you can see me. I want to ask you for a favor."

As soon as the words were spoken, a ripple appeared in the air, and a blue figure appeared in mid-air in the underground spiritual vein, slowly descending.

"Chu Yu, I knew you would come."

“Since Xiao Jiu called me, I had to come,” Wen Chuyu said with a smile.

"Chu Yu, do you have any way to quickly refine this Immortal Lotus Spirit Jade?"

The group looked at Wen Chuyu, placing all their hopes on him.

Wen Chuyu glanced at the Immortal Lotus Spirit Jade under the Bagua diagram, then her gaze fell on Xiao Yichen, her eyes flickering slightly.

He shook his head: "No..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in their eyes as they looked at Hei Xiangling with worried expressions.

Hei Xiangling gazed at Xiao Yichen, her eyes revealing her reluctance and longing for him. She gently stroked his cold face, her heart aching with pain.

Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on her. For the first time in tens of thousands of years, she fell in love, but before she could even begin to possess it, she had to face the pain of loss.

"However... I do know a way to save him."

"What method?"

A glint of light flashed in their eyes, and they asked in unison.

Wen Chuyu's gaze fell on Hei Xiangling: "Use your 20,000 years of cultivation to exchange for his chance to become a god. As long as he can ascend to the God Realm, he will not be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao Laws of this world."

Hei Xiangling and Ji Jiuying stood frozen in place, as if their memories were overlapping, and Si Yu's words echoed in their ears.

Would you want to know if I told you that your true love would take half your life?

To be precise, that person was a demigod.

Almost every scene in this episode corresponds to Xiao Yichen.

······

Hei Xiangling looked down at Xiao Yichen. It turned out that Si Yu was right; this person did indeed take half her life. However, she gave herself that half-life.

"Alright, let's not delay, let's begin now!"

Wen Chuyu looked at her and said, "Are you really not going to regret it? Losing 20,000 years of cultivation might damage your primordial spirit. Once your primordial spirit is damaged, you will face the prospect of your cultivation and lifespan both coming to a standstill."

Looking into her determined eyes, Wen Chuyu was deeply moved. As the Heavenly Dao, he had seen all kinds of emotions in the world.

This world is like a big dye vat. Some people will do anything to survive and have no conscience. Some people suffer to save others. And some people are willing to sacrifice everything for their beliefs.

As a sacred beast that has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, losing her cultivation and depleting her primordial spirit is undoubtedly like walking on tiptoe on a knife's edge. If she is not careful, she may fall into the abyss and never be able to recover.

No regrets.

“Alright, I will protect you to prevent the envoys of the Nine Realms from discovering this.”

Wen Chuyu glanced at her with some admiration, then gathered divine power in her hand, and a blue ball of spiritual energy spread out in mid-air, forming a barrier that isolated everything.

Hei Xiangling and Xiao Yichen sat facing each other, surrounded by a mysterious power.

Hei Xiangling's hands moved constantly, clasping together and spreading her fingers, her fingertips radiating a continuous stream of power that formed thousands of tiny threads that entered Xiao Yichen's body.

Ji Jiuying looked at her with heartache. She had thought that a mere demigod wouldn't be able to harm her, but the outcome was completely unexpected...

Recalling the various coincidences of the past, Qi Yun took the key to the underground spiritual vein ten thousand years ago. How did Xiao Yichen know that there was a white tiger inside, and also knew that the white tiger had died and formed the Immortal Lotus Spirit Jade?

But it was clear that when he first saw the Immortal Lotus Spirit Jade, he already knew he wouldn't be able to wait for it to mature. So, were his and Xiang Ling's various encounters preordained or intentional? Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes slightly.

"Xiao Jiu? What's wrong?"

Wen Chuyu interrupted her thoughts, and Ji Jiuying came back to her senses: "N-nothing..."

Ji Jiuying lowered her gaze. Nothing that happens in this world can escape the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. That's why Chu Yu knew this method. Xiao Yichen is just a person who has lived for thousands of years. Is this really just a coincidence?

Seeing her lost in thought again, a hint of tenderness flashed quickly in Wen Chuyu's eyes.

"Is something on Xiao Jiu's mind?"

"No, it's nothing, I just think this is too much of a coincidence."

As she spoke, Ji Jiuying's gaze fell on Hei Xiangling and Xiao Yichen, her eyes filled with worry.

Although she was initially unwilling to be bound by the contract, she made a promise with Hua Wuyou when she saved her, promising to give her freedom after a year. However, a year later, Hua Wuyou was unwilling to leave.

Over the years, she has seen how Xiao Yichen always puts her first in times of danger, and she has come to regard her as family. If this is just a coincidence, she will not interfere in the matter between Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yichen. But if Xiao Yichen is using her feelings for this, she will never let him get away with it!

Wen Chuyu followed her gaze and instantly understood her concerns. She smiled and said, "Actually, all the coincidences in life are predestined, they are fate. Why should Xiao Jiu worry about it?"

Upon hearing his words, Ji Jiuying was slightly taken aback, and her mind instantly cleared.

Thinking of Si Yu's words back then, I felt relieved. If it was fate, how could I escape it?

"Little Jiu, do you want to extract this Immortal Lotus Spirit Jade?"

She hadn't forgotten what she promised Senior Qi Yun. Helping her was also to give her more options when she went to the God Realm one day, since no one knew what kind of environment the God Realm was like.

"Of course I will. Chu Yu, are you going to stay and help me?"

"good-"

Refining the Immortal Lotus Root Spirit Jade is not difficult. You just need to continuously use spiritual energy to purify the impurities inside the jade. The only difficulty is the time involved.

After the two sat down, they chatted casually while transferring spiritual energy into the Immortal Lotus Spirit Jade.

Right now, Ji Jiuying remembered another important matter.

"By the way, Chu Yu, is there any news about what I asked you about before?"

Wen Chuyu nodded and explained, "Bai Lihe is Bai Li Shenjun of the Divine Phoenix Clan. I heard that the Divine Phoenix Clan's Empress betrothed her younger sister to Bai Li Shenjun twenty years ago, but for some reason, they have been delaying their marriage."

Wen Chuyu's gaze remained fixed on her as she spoke, showing surprise, doubt, but mostly worry.

Baili He is a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan, which is a pure divine race. So wouldn't she be half a Divine Phoenix Clan member? You must know that this pure bloodline is extremely important to the Divine Phoenix Clan. If the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress find out that Xiao Jiu was born of a Divine Phoenix Clan member and a mortal... the consequences would be unimaginable!

Ji Jiuying frowned upon hearing this, confirming that what Ye Qingchen had said was indeed true.

Twenty years ago... that is to say, Baili He, despite being engaged, actually... with his mother.

Ji Jiuying closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her eyes revealing a chilling intensity.
