As the Goddess of Wushan spoke, a particularly crystal-clear tear slid down her cheek. Unlike the other tears that fell directly to the ground, this tear remained suspended in the air.
She raised her slender hand, revealing a porcelain bottle in it. She collected the teardrop and handed it directly to Zu'an: "This should be enough to complete the Heaven-Defying Tear and cure Xiao Xi."
Seeing that even while she was crying like this, she was still thinking about her own affairs, Zu'an couldn't hold back any longer and hugged her tightly.
In the past, like countless other men, he wished that all the beautiful women in the world could belong to him.
But as he gained more female confidantes, he realized that love can be truly hurtful.
He had experienced too many separations, especially after just coming out of the Moon Palace. He originally thought that his heartache had reached its peak and he would no longer feel pain.
But now he realizes he was wrong, very wrong.
It turns out that the heart can ache twice in a short period of time, each time more painful than the last.
The women in the distance saw the two suddenly hug each other, and they all had strange expressions, as if they were discussing the bet they had just made.
However, after seeing the Goddess of Wushan in tears and Zuan's face full of pain, the girls, who were originally excited and gossipy, all fell silent. Although they were far away, the girls could still feel the sadness on the other side.
When Zu An hugged her, the Goddess of Wushan trembled. She had never hugged a man before, let alone spoken to men. Feeling the strong embrace of the other man, she was both shy and reluctant to part. How long could this hug last?
At this moment, Zaun's mind raced. Having just experienced the Mermaid Queen incident, he didn't want a similar thing to happen again, so he quickly thought of a solution.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, and as he reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, he said, "Yaoji, if you'd like, come with us."
The Treasure Box of Creation can take them back, so taking one more person shouldn't be a problem, since the other person doesn't have any ties to the Moon Palace.
To everyone's surprise, the Goddess of Wushan shook her head slightly upon hearing this: "I cannot leave."
Seeing the questioning look in the other person's eyes, the Goddess of Wushan slowly explained: "After I was named the Goddess of Wushan, I have stayed on the mountain. I can't remember how many years have passed. Many times, I will unknowingly transform into the Goddess Peak on Wushan. In a sense, I and Wushan have long been one."
"Similar to Chang'e, who is cursed by the Moon Palace, I am also bound by Wushan and can no longer leave this place."
Upon hearing her words, Zu An's heart sank into an icy abyss.
Yes, a person can take something with them, but can they take a mountain with them?
In that instant, he felt a sense of powerlessness. When he first transmigrated, he was still very weak, but he didn't feel this powerless back then.
Why is it that the stronger we become, the more problems we encounter that we can't solve?
"You don't need to worry, this is my destiny. It's already a great fortune that I was able to meet you and experience all sorts of different emotions," the Goddess of Wushan comforted Zu'an instead.
Hearing her comfort him instead, Zu'an felt even more pain in his heart.
The Goddess of Wushan broke free from his embrace, took his hand, and led him to the edge of the cliff: "Brother Zu, you don't have to be so sad. From now on, when you see these clouds and mist, it will be as if I am by your side. If there is still a Wushan in the future, you can go there to find me, but by then I may have completely transformed into the Goddess Peak."
Zuan's eyes reddened as he listened, and his voice inexplicably lowered: "I'm more heartbroken for you. I have other friends to keep me company, but you have to stay here all alone."
The Goddess of Wushan smiled faintly: "How could I be alone? The wind, the clouds, and the rain are all my friends. Besides, isn't Sister Chang'e still here? I can chat with her from time to time."
Zuan opened his mouth. Many people said his mouth was as sweet as honey, but at this moment he felt particularly bitter and couldn't think of any words to truly comfort the other person.
If the Goddess of Wushan truly didn't care, she wouldn't have cried so hard just now.
She's so nonchalant now, just so he won't worry too much.
But the more considerate she was, the more uncomfortable Zu'an felt.
"I really want to meet that Miss Manman." The Goddess of Wushan suddenly sighed softly. Xihe and she had previously agreed that she was most likely the reincarnation of that Miss Manman.
It's truly something to be happy about that the future Manman girl and Zaun have successfully gotten together.
But this also proves one thing: since there is reincarnation, it proves that she will eventually die. She doesn't know why she will die in the future or why she will choose to be reincarnated, but there must be a reason that she has no choice but to do so.
In the future, they may become a couple, but in this life, they will never see each other again.
Thinking of this, she could no longer suppress the emotions she had finally managed to calm down, and her eyes welled up with tears.
At this moment, a light rain began to fall over the entire Wushan Mountain, enveloping the entire mountain in a misty rain.
The girls in the distance, who had initially been gossiping excitedly, were now all shrouded in a strange sadness.
Just as Zu An opened his mouth to say something, the Treasure Box of Creation suddenly flashed with light, enveloping him and the other women within it.
The next second, they all vanished without a trace.
The goddess of Wushan reached out to try and stop her, but her slender hand froze in mid-air, unwilling to fall for a long time.
The once bustling summit of Wushan is now deserted once again.
You know, when there were a few more people in Wushan, she was quite unaccustomed to it at first, and sometimes she found it a bit noisy.
But now she especially misses those days filled with laughter and joy.
The Goddess of Wushan reached the summit, gazing at the distant sea of clouds. Her figure gradually blurred, transforming into a Goddess Peak that stood there.
That day, an unprecedented downpour struck Wushan.
...
Meanwhile, Zuan and his companions were in a daze for a moment, and the next second they found themselves in a lake.
After rescuing the girls and bringing them ashore, Zuan fell silent.
"Where is this?" Ji Xiaoxi looked around, only to find it pitch black all around. If they weren't cultivators, they probably wouldn't be able to see anything at all.
"The Demon Clan's Royal Tomb." Xie Daoyun, still retaining her memories from back then, quickly made the judgment.
"Ah, we've returned to that fragment of time!" Ji Xiaoxi exclaimed in surprise and delight, which meant that returning to the original era would be even faster.
But then she remembered something and tugged at Zu An's arm apologetically: "Brother Zu, are you feeling very unwell right now?"
Before Zuan could answer, a burst of unrestrained laughter suddenly came from afar: "As expected, the lord was right. You guys will eventually come back here!"
