The moment the demonic entity on Duanmu Ling's body disappeared.
The spirit-changing orb, powered by her magic, also lost its function.
Yan Zhen and Duanmu Ling fainted at the same time, but woke up at the same time.
When they woke up, the two had switched back to their original identities.
Duanmu Ling is Duanmu Ling, and Yan Zhen is Yan Zhen.
Zhuang Ruo looked at Yan Zhen with a slightly embarrassed expression.
She already knew that she had been with Duanmu Ling for the past two years.
She ultimately betrayed Yan Zhen.
"Ah Zhen, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you."
She doesn't know what to do now.
Although the body is Yan Zhen's, the very body before her, the soul within is Duanmu Ling's. After all, she and Duanmu Ling had been husband and wife for two years.
"Ah Zhen? I'm sorry."
I'm sorry, she didn't recognize him.
I'm sorry, even though she had doubts, she still chose to play dumb.
"It's alright." Yan Zhen sat up. "Where's Ning Zhaozhao?"
"Still unconscious."
That day, after Ning Hong disappeared, Ning Zhaozhao cried for a long time, until she fainted from crying.
Before they could even rejoice at surviving the ordeal, all that remained was a heart filled with pain.
"I'll go check on her."
"Yan Zhen, have you fallen for her?"
"A'Ruo, how do you feel about Duanmu Ling? I think that's how I feel about her."
Yan Zhen said calmly, "In short, there is no possibility between us anymore."
My heart has changed.
How can I pretend to be indifferent and keep going?
Zhuang Ruo ultimately did not choose to live with Duanmu Ling.
She could never accept Duanmu Ling without any reservations.
She returned to Medicine King Valley.
Duanmu Ling went along as well.
However, he spent his entire life wandering outside the Valley of Medicine Kings.
Yan Zhen, however, stayed by Ning Zhaozhao's side the whole time.
He proposed to Ning Zhaozhao.
But Ning Zhaozhao rejected him.
"If it were back then, you would have proposed to me, and I would have agreed. We would have been the happiest couple. But not now. My heart is filled with my brother, and there is no room for you."
"It's alright. It was my fault to begin with. Just give me a chance to take care of you in place of your brother."
Yan Zhen forced a smile.
Perhaps, people really are just perverse.
What we get is never cherished, while what we can't get always stirs our hearts.
Back when Ning Zhaozhao liked him, he easily pushed her away, always feeling that she was inferior to A'Ruo in every way. But now, Ning Zhaozhao no longer cares about him, yet he cannot control his feelings.
Yan Zhen stayed with Ning Zhaozhao for a full ten years.
Ten years later, after seeing off the two elders of the Ning family, Ning Zhaozhao disappeared.
Inside the system space, Ning Hong sat on the sofa with a pale face.
0321 circled around him twice.
"My God, this is so uncomfortable."
It's not just the physical discomfort, but also the extreme psychological distress.
"I wonder how heartbroken and sad my Acha will be?"
"You gave me the wrong information. Didn't you say that I was the only ghost in that world? How come all those weird things suddenly appeared?"
"This is my fault." The system's attitude in admitting its mistake was quite sincere. "So although this mission was not completed, I will still compensate you with half of the points."
"Then—can I see Ning Zhaozhao's final fate?"
He was still uneasy; the mission was not yet complete.
His mission in this life wasn't difficult; it was simply to protect his younger sister and the Ning family. However, the mission wasn't completed, meaning that after his death, Acha—
“Okay.” 0321 nodded and flew up and down in front of Ning Hongze.
The twinkling starlight shimmered.
A scene unfolded before him—
After seeing off Ning's parents, Ning Zhaozhao left.
She was going to find her brother.
She would search high and low, even to the ends of the earth, to find her brother.
She had heard that the entrance to the underworld was connected to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Since her brother is dead, he must be waiting for her in the underworld.
Ten years have passed.
They had been separated for ten years. She couldn't wait any longer.
She asked many people and went to temple after temple, hoping that someone could tell her where Kunlun Mountain was.
Finally, her perseverance paid off, and she found the direction of the mountain in a dilapidated temple.
Ning Zhaozhao was unaware that the temple keeper was merely making things up.
She believed it without a doubt and followed the address.
This is a mountain shrouded in mist.
The mountaintop was covered with a blanket of white snow.
Everything was white.
As Ning Zhaozhao climbed the mountain, she reminisced about their past moments.
Even with his hands covered in blood, he didn't notice.
The biting wind whipped around her, and her hands and cheeks were frostbitten.
But she didn't care.
She lost her footing on a rock and was dragged down several meters.
She managed to grab onto another large rock with her bloodied hands, thus preventing herself from sliding down.
"If she can climb up, she will have a chance to reunite with her brother."
If I climb up, I'll be able to see my brother.
As she was about to reach the top of the mountain, Ning Zhaozhao's face lit up with ecstasy.
"Brother, wait a little longer, I'll be right there."
The moon is out.
