After a burst of mist, Xiao Wanwan landed in the cave.
The cave wasn't too small, nor too big; it was surrounded by rocks and a pile of burnt-out charcoal.
The man in front of me was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his face completely calm.
"Big brother?"
Xiao Wanwan tried to call out to him.
But the man did not react.
"Big brother?"
She called out to the man again.
After calling out to the man several times, Xiao Wanwan had no choice but to give up when he stopped responding.
Where is this?
She had never been here before, but somehow she felt a sense of familiarity. When she reached the cave entrance, she saw a patch of lush green grass.
In a daze, Xiao Wanwan remembered that there was such a place in the God Realm back then.
At that time, she and Mingyue were playing hide-and-seek in the realm of gods when she accidentally wandered into this place and encountered an injured man.
Could that man be the Heavenly Dao?
Xiao Wanwan looked around in confusion, then suddenly leaped away on one foot.
They had barely landed when they saw a man and a woman arguing not far away.
"Yunmeng, if you become my woman, I guarantee you will be the happiest bride in the world."
The woman, dressed in white, exuded arrogance and said nonchalantly, "Qingxuan, I already have someone I love in my heart. Please have some self-respect."
"Yunmeng, are you really so cruel to me?" Seeing that Yunmeng wouldn't budge no matter what he said, Qingxuan grabbed her hand, preventing her from leaving.
Yunmeng looked at her hand that had been grabbed, her face extremely ugly. She pulled her sleeve and changed her position: "True Lord Qingxuan, since ancient times, love has been based on mutual affection. Please have some self-respect."
Qingxuan didn't continue to argue with Yunmeng, but just chuckled and said, "Yunmeng, I originally wanted to move you with my sincerity and make you my woman, but since you already have someone you love, I'm not the kind of person who forces people to do things against their will!"
"I'm leaving now!"
Upon hearing this, Yunmeng's brows finally relaxed, and she smiled, saying, "Thank you, True Lord Qingxuan."
"This fairy also wishes you that you will find someone to accompany you for the rest of your life and spend your life together."
"Hmm." After responding, Qingxuan Zhenjun turned and left.
Yunmeng nodded and then turned around as well.
But as she turned around, Qingxuan suddenly turned back and attacked Yunmeng.
"Yunmeng, you can only be my woman in this lifetime!!!" he said, pulling an unidentified object from his pocket.
He forcefully poured it into Yunmeng's mouth.
Before Yunmeng could react, Qingxuan Zhenjun grabbed her by the neck and forced medicine into her mouth.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Wan cried out, "No! Mother—"
Xiao Wanwan flew to the two of them and tried to grab Qingxuan's hands, which she loathed.
But her body passed right through the two of them, and she fell forward unexpectedly.
Xiao Wanwan's expression changed drastically.
Looking at his hands, he wondered, "How could this happen?"
Where is she? Why can't the two of them see her?
"Yunmeng, why don't you just give in to me?"
"No, get away from me!"
"Don't worry, I will treat you well and be absolutely gentle with you."
"No, no, what... what did you give me to eat?"
Xiao Wanwan stared in shock at the woman who looked exactly like her mother's daughter.
How could this be...? Is this my mother?
She rushed angrily to the woman, trying to shield Yunmeng behind her, but no matter how hard she tried or how much spiritual power she used, her body still passed right through them.
"Qingyun, how dare you bully people like this?"
"Do you believe I'll cut off your hand?"
"Let go, let go..."
Xiao Wanwan looked helplessly at Yunmeng being bullied by Qingxuan, her eyes red.
Xiao Wanwan watched helplessly as Yunmeng was beaten to death by Qingxuan, a tear sliding down her cheek.
Yunmeng lay on the ground, her body trembling a few times before she stopped moving, her pupils becoming increasingly dilated.
"Are you my mother?"
Xiao Wanwan knelt on the ground, looking at her familiar, lifeless face, and for a moment she felt as if she were superimposed on her mother, Ye Lanyin.
Just then, a man dressed in black flew over from not far away. He was holding a sword and hadn't even had time to wipe the blood off his shoulder.
"Yunmeng—"
The moment his feet touched the ground, the man rushed to Yunmeng's side, threw down his longsword, and tremblingly embraced her.
My heart aches so much I can't breathe.
"Ahhh... Waaaaah... Yunmeng... Yunmeng... I'm late, I'm late..."
"Ahhh, Meng'er, Meng'er, wake up! I beg you, wake up and look at me one more time. Didn't we agree to get married? Yunmeng..."
The man cried like a child, carefully wiping the blood from Yunmeng's lips, repeatedly pleading with the woman in his arms.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I should have come sooner, ah—"
The man was heartbroken and cried out to the sky in a desolate voice.
After a long while, his bloodshot eyes revealed a resolute determination.
"Yunmeng, I, Tianji, have said that if we cannot live together, we can only die together, for all eternity, until death do us part!"
"Without you, what meaning do I have in this Three Realms?"
The man gathered spiritual energy in his palm and suddenly slapped it directly towards his own forehead.
"puff!"
The man coughed up a mouthful of blood, smiled faintly at the woman in his arms, and then intertwined his fingers tightly with Yunmeng's.
A happy smile spread across her face.
Xiao Wanwan calmly watched all of this, recalling the scene when her father wanted to leave with her mother back in the Dragon Clan.
The same flowers, the same appearance.
Even if she doesn't admit it, she has no choice but to face the fact that her father and mother have been together for over a hundred years.
