She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; one problem had been solved.
Now, only one remains.
She looked at Yan Zhen, and Yan Zhen looked at her too.
Surprisingly, Yan Zhen did not resist. Instead, he calmed down, a wicked smile on his lips, and looked meaningfully at the talisman that bound his hands and feet.
“Master, I didn’t expect you to like this. If you had said so earlier, I would have obeyed without question.”
Minglu looked at him with complicated emotions and sighed deeply.
"I still can't understand why you've become like this. Did I do something wrong?"
Yan Zhen's smile gradually faded, and he gave a bitter laugh.
“You are not wrong, I am the one who is wrong. I am the one who is rebellious and covets my own master.”
"You saved me, raised me, and made me second only to the gods in the divine realm."
"If it were an ordinary person, they might be moved to tears and serve their master for the rest of their life."
"I was like that too..."
He glanced meaningfully at Mingluo and said calmly, "Human desires can be nurtured and grown."
Having seen the character and appearance of Master, nothing else matters.
"If you are wrong, it is probably because there is no one else in the world like you."
"Master, please don't blame me!"
As he spoke, he flicked his finger and with a slight effort, shattered the talisman that was binding and binding him.
In just one step, he was in front of Mingluo, reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, pulled her into a tight embrace, and let out a long, satisfied sigh.
"Master, Master, I miss you so much..."
Those sighs, so poignant and lingering, made Mingluo's heart tremble.
She never knew that Yan Zhen's love for him had reached such a level.
She didn't move, letting Yan Zhen hug her with boundless joy, and calmly said, "You can't go back."
Yan Zhen paused for a moment, then said indulgently, "It's alright, wherever Master is, I will be there."
Minglu looked up at him and saw that his eyes were deep and dark. She immediately understood a fact.
Yan Zhen probably has another way to return to the divine realm.
He had already reached the Creator God Realm, a realm she had never reached. It was said that the sea of consciousness in the Creator God Realm was already comparable to a small universe, and contacting one's own origin planet might be effortless.
Yan Zhen smiled.
He whispered in her ear, "Master, you are so smart. I know all about your little tricks with Nie Yuchen. If he wants to destroy your body, then destroy it."
"Just now, I figured it out. Between the physical body and the soul, the soul is more interesting."
"Moreover, the spiritual energy here is enough for Master to cultivate to the Immortal Realm. At that time, this physical body will be strong enough to withstand time and space travel."
"I'm willing to live here with you until the end of time."
Minglu was startled and remained silent for a moment.
"You're going to imprison me here?"
Yan Zhen raised his hand, and in the space full of spiritual energy, one wishing flower after another bloomed. The red flowers formed by spiritual energy flew towards Ming Luo and fell down one after another above her head.
A look of amazement and boundless joy flashed in his eyes.
“It’s not imprisonment. I’m here too. I’ll walk with Master step by step, just like we used to, okay?”
"Not good." Minglu raised her eyes and looked quietly at the person in front of her.
She still remembers what he looked like as an infant, so she can never stop seeing him as a disciple, nor can she accept this deep affection.
She slowly walked to a wall of spiritual energy, placed her finger on it, and gently tapped it.
"Yan Zhen, I remember teaching you a principle before: the disciples of my sect are born free, and we would rather die than be coerced by anyone."
Yan Zhen's expression changed, and he pursed his lips, remaining silent.
Mingluo continued, "Do you like me because of my appearance, or because of my immortal appearance? If I were like this, would you still like me?"
As she spoke, she rapidly dissipated her spiritual power, using all her remaining spiritual energy to strike the wall of spiritual power, causing fine lines to spread across the wall.
Without the support of spiritual power, her body rapidly deteriorated, and in almost an instant, she transformed from a charming and vibrant young woman into an aged woman.
Time seemed to accumulate on her in an instant, transforming her into a middle-aged woman, then a frail old woman, and soon her soul would dissipate.
The wall of spiritual energy finally gave way and collapsed with a crash.
The entire space collapsed rapidly.
Yan Zhen was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and he shouted angrily, "No!"
Ignoring the turbulent and collapsing space, he seemed to recklessly rush towards Mingluo, sending a ball of spiritual energy into her body.
This spirit energy ball was originally meant to bring Mingluo back, but now it's being used to sustain Mingluo's life.
Mingluo's eyes deepened slightly. As soon as the spiritual energy entered her body, it quickly repaired her. She then gathered all her strength and struck Yan Zhen, who was flying towards her, with a palm strike, sending him flying out of space and exposing him to the Heavenly Dao.
Yan Zhen was caught off guard and fell outside.
The sky suddenly changed, and the Heavenly Dao sensed Yan Zhen's existence, which far surpassed the power of this world. Nine bolts of heavenly lightning arrived almost instantaneously, striking Yan Zhen heavily to the ground.
Yan Zhen collapsed to the ground, completely paralyzed.
Minglu breathed a slight sigh of relief. She slowly walked up to Yan Zhen and looked down at her.
