The HeartDream Empire possesses the heart of a dragon, which is why it is able to create romantic creatures such as the HeartDream Fish.
Because it wasn't a natural life form, but rather an energy creation made by the Xinmeng Empire using the Dragon Heart, thanks to the kindness of Master Shenxuan, in order to fulfill the concept of "romance."
Master Shenxuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.
But he quickly regained his smile.
He manipulated the Buddhist light surrounding him to condense, eventually forming a huge golden gem that seemed to have a life of its own.
Gems contain a continuous and terrifying power.
Quan Ji recognized it at a glance as the Heart of the Dragon.
The Dragon Heart slowly floated to Quan Ji's front.
Master Shenxuan: "Please accept this, young lady."
Quan Ji didn't hesitate and accepted the item by opening her spatial pouch.
The golden light emanating from Master Shenxuan had dimmed considerably.
He looked up at the sky; there was a skylight in this enclosed tunnel through which the moon could be seen.
The moon was bright and perfectly full.
He said:
"In truth, I should have died long ago, but I held onto a sliver of obsession and dared not betray Atao. In this life, I have not yet fulfilled my mission, so I have used the heart of the dragon to barely maintain my life."
"Now that my mission is complete, it is time to end this life of fulfilling my duty."
Upon hearing this, Quan Ji wanted to say something more.
Master Shenxuan knew what she wanted to say, and he said, "This old monk has nothing to be attached to, but I fear the road to the Yellow Springs will be cold, and the peach blossoms will not be able to withstand the chill."
Thinking about this, he finally turned his gaze to Jun Chenlan.
"Marshal Jun, you ask me if I have a way to break this deadlock?"
"have."
"Just as fate did not tell me that I would live to see the day when I could finally resolve my inner conflict."
"What you seek also presents an opportunity to break free from the shackles of fate."
"Perhaps you are right."
"Fate exists, but it is not absolute."
After uttering these words, Master Shenxuan's voice gradually faded away. Finally, he lowered his head, holding a petal in his hand. On this full moon day, his life came to a complete end, and he passed away peacefully.
The wind tonight seems unusually warm, carrying the fragrance of peach blossoms and a gentle, Zen-like tranquility.
It circulated, blowing across the entire Dream Empire.
The scholar who owed peach blossoms for a lifetime was finally on his way to repay them.
—Author's Note—
The biggest misunderstanding between Master Shenxuan and the Peach Blossom Fairy was that Master Shenxuan thought he had broken off the relationship, but in reality, he left the stubborn Peach Blossom Fairy with regrets.
The peach blossom fairy wanted an explanation, but it remained unanswered. If there were an explanation, even if Master Shenxuan didn't love her, she could still stay by his side.
Master Shenxuan knew he had delayed the Peach Blossom Fairy's life, so he promised to make up for their regrets in the next life, and that they would be happy in the next life!
