Chapter 162 Sincere Love and Tenderness, A Heart-Fluttering Moment
This young master usually looks strong and healthy, but I never expected that he would suffer from a hidden illness?
They've all cultivated immortality, how can they still have heart disease?
Rong Xing nodded and put away the communication stone that had no signal. "No problem, I'll send the person to you once we leave the secret realm."
Feng Yi slowly raised his hand, and a water-like barrier appeared beneath the giant cherry tree. "Everyone, let's go."
Rongxing, having returned laden with spoils, cheered and was about to leave with Huali and Shenyu.
Shen Yu, who had been standing still, took the first step.
Instead of heading towards the barrier, they came to Karin's side.
The boy's figure was as upright as a pine tree on a cliff. On his young face, his sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards into his temples, and his jawline was clean and sharp.
Those amber eyes, now shining like stars after being tempered, clearly reflected Karin's puzzled gaze.
Without asking, without hesitating, and even before she could react, he had already spoken.
"Canglan Prefecture's Shen Yu here makes a vow to the Demon of the Heart." His spirited and unrestrained demeanor transformed into a sense of responsibility that was truly admirable.
"Regarding the divine artifact I saw today," Shen Yu said clearly, a tiny smile curving his lips as he looked at Hua Li, his expression one of pure, unwavering composure, "I will never reveal it to any living being in this world. If I break my promise, my cultivation will be forever stagnant, and my soul will be annihilated."
The young general's face was more solemn and open than ever before, and his eyes, as he looked at Huali, carried the purest yet heaviest sense of responsibility of a young man.
The moment the vow landed, it pierced both of their hearts simultaneously.
Karin's fingers, which were holding the Reincarnation Sundial, trembled slightly, and she suddenly looked up.
She knew from the beginning that possessing a treasure would be a crime, even though she was prepared to take the risk and trusted them.
But now, with Shen Yu so openly and frankly uttering this heavy vow, she still felt an indescribable sense of security.
Rong Xing, who was standing to the side, suddenly slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot about this."
Seeing that he was about to make a vow against his inner demons, Huali quickly tried to stop him.
Rong Xing shook his head seriously, "I know you trust me, so I don't want to betray that trust."
"I, the Star-Merging Astrologer, swear an oath to my heart's demons: if I reveal even a fraction of the matter concerning the divine artifact, may my soul be annihilated."
As Karin looked at the two people, her heart felt as if it were being immersed in warm spring water, the surging warmth almost engulfing her completely.

Feng Yi sat on the ancient stone steps covered in moss, and a smile appeared on his lips upon seeing this.
He suddenly thought of those bygone days of his youth.
In a daze, the Floating Life Realm, following the thoughts of its master, conjured up a light drizzle.
Feng Yi seemed to see a distant version of himself, who had also explored the misty secret realm, his hair as black as ink, full of youthful vigor.
A young man listens to the rain in a pavilion, and under the umbrella of the Bridge of Love, he glances up and unexpectedly encounters his beloved.
Then he stood alone on the boundless Ferry of Forgetfulness, personally sending his two closest loved ones into the River of Reincarnation.
The surrounding area was vast and desolate, with only turbid waves lapping against the ship's side.
Now, with all his inner knots untied, he sits withered in this monastery-like ruin of life, his head full of white hair, letting the cold rain of his memories drip again and again into the withered lake of his heart.
Joy and sorrow, separation and reunion... these are the flavors of this mortal world...
Before the steps, drops of water fall until dawn...
Huali looked up at the falling cold rain, and subconsciously glanced at the person on the stone steps—
The young man who once slayed evil with a single sword is like a reef ruthlessly abandoned on the shore by the river of time. The shadow of a withered tree branch falls obliquely on his shoulder, and his blurry figure seems as if he is about to disappear into the distance at any moment.
The girl paused in her steps, a sudden pang of reluctance rising in her heart.
Looking at his host's lifeless state, Ao Bai knew that she was about to cause trouble again.
Sure enough, the next second the girl suddenly came running up to Feng Yi, and under his slightly widened eyes, she said seriously, "Why don't you come with us?"
Feng Yi's pupils contracted, and he could clearly see the surging, almost reckless, pity and fervor in the girl's clean and clear eyes as she looked at him.
Like a stream eager to melt in early spring, it is crystal clear and carries an undeniable warmth.
Feng Yi remained seated, but his eyelashes, which had been lowered for countless years, trembled almost imperceptibly.
But only for a moment, and he slowly shook his head.
A few strands of his lifeless white hair floated in the deathly air with his movement. "The mortal world and I are long since severed ties, and besides, my body..."
"White Bone Grass! I have White Bone Grass! And Hibiscus Tree!"
"These are all magical treasures that can help you regain your vitality." Huali did not back down. This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; she had made up her mind the moment she exited the memories.
She even took a small step forward, raising her voice, "Don't you want to know what they look like now?"
Feng Yi suddenly looked up.
"They're in the Dream Realm." Hua Li immediately opened the Immortal Blog, hoping to win with a combination of pictures and text, but this unlucky thing is there's no signal in the secret realm?!

Shen Yu stood quietly under the cherry tree, unlike Rong Xing who expressed surprise at the girl's return.
His gaze, as if drawn by invisible threads, was firmly fixed on Huali.
How can there be such a gentle person in the world?
An indescribable attraction silently spread through Shen Yu's heart.
It wasn't a physical closeness, but rather the quiet stirring of some hidden string deep within the soul.
Shen Yu's fingers, hanging by his side, curled slightly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the patterns on the hilt of the Lone Deer Sword, as if using it to stabilize the silent surging tide within his body.
The boy's face remained calm and composed, but only he knew that the silent fortress deep within his chest was undergoing a silent upheaval.
Unaware of what was happening, Huali squatted down in front of the steps and banged on the communication stone, trying to violently retrieve the signal.
Ao Bai, feeling the pain in his eyes, hurriedly interrupted her spellcasting, "This isn't a television, where you can just bang it a couple of times to fix the signal. This is a secret realm; smashing it won't do any good."
Hua Li sighed and tried to ask Feng Yi for help, "Did you have a communication stone back then?"
Feng Yi subconsciously moved to the side, revealing more of the stone steps for Hua Li to tap, and then honestly shook his head.
Huali: "Then you have to come with us." She looked at the bewildered Feng Yi with a serious expression and said solemnly, "Welcome to the 21st century and experience the power of technology."
Feng Yi: "?"
After saying all this, a lightbulb went off in Huali's mind, and she suddenly turned around without warning.
The girl's face held a lightness that seemed to break through the gloom as she raised a bright, lively smile towards Shen Yu, who was a few steps away.
Those almond-shaped eyes, which had just reflected the thousand-year loneliness on the stone steps, had now curved into two clear crescent moons, shimmering with pure and bright light.
"Young Master!" Hua Li beckoned forcefully to Chen Yu, a section of her fair wrist slipping from her sleeve. "I desperately need your help!"
boom--
Unreserved trust and urging exploded violently and destructively in Shen Yu's heart!
Shen Yu's world fell completely silent in an instant.
The boy's pupils dilated slightly from the intense impact, and his body reacted before his mind, slowly walking to the girl's side.
Huali pulled him close, "Can you conjure a water mirror?"
The skin beneath her fingertips felt scorching hot, almost burning. Shen Yu took a deep breath and slowly waved her hand, relying on her memory.
Two figures appeared simultaneously in front of Feng Yi on the water mirror.
Feng Yi's body trembled, and tears suddenly fell.
Hua Li took out a white bone grass from Qing Lin's pendant, and then snapped off a small section of hibiscus wood. Chen Yu formed a hand seal, and the two spiritual treasures instantly transformed into warm light that seeped into Feng Yi's body.
As his figure solidified again, Huali smiled and said, "Fengyi is now Yu Ling, the young master of Tiangongfang, while Sister Tingyu is the young master of Hehuan Sect."
"Both of them are very capable."
The girl smiled and sincerely invited, "Feng Yi, the world outside the secret realm is wonderful, and now you are you, so... come with us."
"Yu Ling... Shao Siming..."
Feng Yi muttered to herself, but Rong Xing, who had just come to her senses, grabbed Feng Yi's hand and rushed out of the barrier without looking back. "Let's go! It's so lonely to be alone! Welcome to the Pear Blossom Squad!"
Coming to her senses, Feng Yi exclaimed in alarm, "Wait! If the master of the secret realm leaves first, those left behind will be randomly teleported..."
Before the words were finished, Huali and Shen Yu's vision suddenly changed.
Shen Yu subconsciously grabbed Hua Li's hand, and when she looked up again, there was no one around. The two of them had been randomly teleported back to a certain place in the Prelude Dream Secret Realm.
At the same time, the image of a young boy and girl holding hands was clearly reflected on the water mirror of the rogue cultivators.
As Tuowu gasped, Xiwu had already swallowed half a bottle of Life-Giving Pills without any expression.
No need to save anymore, just eat all the good stuff before you die.
