The Palace of Tranquility.
When Liuli returned, the hall was empty. Yu Xin and Ge Yiyuan must have gone outside and had not yet returned. She thought that the other divine beast youths should also be outside at this time, so she did not try to see them. Instead, she sat down on the rattan chair under the willow tree and began to close her eyes to rest.
Liuli left the City of Gods and Demons in late spring of March, and now it is midsummer on May 20th. The weather is fine today, and the sun is quite hot. Fortunately, the weeping willows are lush and provide shade for the rattan chair.
As Liuli lay back on the wicker chair and closed her eyes, she immediately heard a series of increasingly loud noises. It was the clamor and shouts of the demons in the city, a world completely different from the tranquility of Magpie Bridge Town.
When she recalled her time in Magpie Bridge Town at this moment, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Time passed quietly in silence. Liuli's thoughts drifted back and forth, and she couldn't help but think of Magpie Bridge Town. She thought of the newly built wooden house, which should already be fully furnished. In addition, the mayor's wife had already prepared the sheets and blankets for them. She and Shichan would be able to move in soon.
And then there's the Bodhi fruit buried deep in the ground in the Holy Monk Temple. She would water it every day and secretly channel some spiritual energy into it so it could take root and sprout quickly. Now that she's gone, if that Bodhi fruit doesn't sprout soon, no one will water it anymore, and it will have even less chance of breaking through the soil and growing into a Bodhi tree.
...
It turned out that she missed the days in Queqiao Town so much.
But if he's not there, what's the point of her staying? It will only cause her more heartache.
Liuli's brows furrowed slightly, and her small face showed sadness.
"Liuli, Liuli!"
Suddenly, a voice filled with urgency and longing came from inside, accompanied by hurried footsteps. The person seemed to have arrived in the Tranquil Palace like a gust of wind.
Liuli slowly opened her eyes and saw a face in front of her, full of smiles and affection.
Liuli stared blankly at the joy on Li Molin's face, as if she were seeing him for the first time since arriving in the City of Gods and Demons, and that the person in the Demon Lord's Palace just now was not him at all.
"Li Molin?" Liuli frowned slightly and called out in confusion.
Li Molin walked to the front of the rattan chair, suddenly reached out and pulled Liuli up from the chair, hugging her tightly in his arms.
He held Liuli tightly, his voice soft and gentle, and said, "Liuli, I miss you so much, I really miss you. I thought... I would never see you again..."
Before arriving in the City of Gods and Demons to see Li Molin, Liuli had already planned to apologize to him for leaving her on their wedding day. However, in the Demon Lord's Palace, she subconsciously assumed that it wasn't him, so she didn't say anything unnecessary.
Held in Li Molin's arms, she finally recognized his familiar scent and softly said, "Li Molin, I'm sorry."
"It's alright, as long as you're back..." Li Molin released Liuli, looked down at her with gentle eyes, and asked softly, "Liuli, what happened? Why did you come back? Did that monk bully you?"
Liuli's face turned cold. She took a step back and sat on the rattan chair, while Li Molin walked to the side and sat on another stone chair, his gentle and affectionate eyes fixed on Liuli.
"Don't talk about him anymore," Liuli said coldly. "I don't want to mention him."
