Shushu woke up when the stars were shining brightly. The whole courtyard was quiet, and everyone was still fast asleep, including Longyi in the courtyard, who was also snoring soundly.
Shushu was a little embarrassed. Just as she was wondering if she should find something to do, a paper crane carrying a voice transmission flew towards her. Shushu raised an eyebrow, tapped it gently, and Lu Li's gentle voice came from the paper crane.
"Junior Sister, are you awake? Come to the mountaintop?" As soon as he finished speaking, the paper crane turned its head outward, as if to lead the way.
Shushu thought that Tian Suanzi had something important to discuss with him again, so without thinking too much, he left a protective barrier for everyone and followed the paper crane's footsteps, heading towards the mountain peak that Lu Li had mentioned.
As she continued forward, she encountered patrolling disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. They were not surprised at all when they saw her heading to the summit of the main peak.
Instead, he greeted her with a smile and stepped aside, as if he had been instructed to do so beforehand.
Thus, Shushu felt even more strongly that Tianjizi had something to ask her, and without hesitation, she quickened her pace.
When they reached the summit, they found Lu Li and Tian Suanzi there. When Tian Suanzi saw her, his usually cold expression was now tinged with a rare hint of a smile.
He smiled and handed Lu Li something that looked like a token, then said, "Have fun," before turning and leaving.
"Gone?" Shushu looked bewildered, not quite understanding what was going on. He turned to look at Lu Li, his eyes filled with confusion.
Lu Li did not answer her immediately as usual. Instead, he gently took her hand and led her to the stone wall on the other side of the mountain peak.
Pressing the token given to him by the Heavenly Calculator into the groove, a teleportation array appeared out of thin air, and Lu Li led her inside.
Trusting Lu Li, Shushu didn't resist at all and was led into the teleportation array by him.
Her vision went dark for a moment, and when she could see normally again, she found herself seemingly in a starry river.
The surrounding area was filled with dazzling starlight, and countless stars twinkled around it. The entire space was quiet, and it seemed that only their breathing could be heard.
Suddenly, an unbelievable thought popped into Shushu's mind. Her eyes widened abruptly, and she looked at Lu Li with disbelief and a hint of anticipation.
Lu Li returned her a gentle smile, as if confirming her guess.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Li waved his sleeve, and the throne belonging to the Feather Clan Emperor appeared at his feet.
Lu Li gently placed the glutinous rice ball on the throne and sat it down. Then, in front of the glutinous rice ball, he transformed into his true form, a phoenix with magnificent colors and shimmering light.
This was the second time that Shushu had seen his phoenix in its true form. Compared to the first time, this phoenix was more spirited and more eye-catching.
For a moment, Shushu was stunned and couldn't help but reach out, as if to stroke the phoenix's head.
But the phoenix gently dodged away, tenderly pecking at Shushu's palm, signaling Shushu not to move.
The next moment, a beautiful phoenix cry rang out, and the phoenix in front of us spread its wings and took flight.
In the Milky Way, a phoenix, as dazzling as fire, danced in the starry sky, its figure graceful and elegant. It was the Phoenix Seeking Its Mate.
Shushu stared blankly at the beautiful phoenix dancing gracefully in the Milky Way, feeling as if his entire mind had been drawn into it, and his chest was filled with joy.
At this moment, without Lu Li needing to say anything more, she already fully understood what he wanted to express, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
The smile grew wider and wider until her entire little face was beaming with joy, and her eyes shone with sweet light.
However, Lu Li clearly still had something to say. After finishing the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix," he transformed back into human form and came to Shushu. Gazing at Shushu, his phoenix eyes were full of tenderness and seriousness.
"Junior Sister, I like you. It's not just the liking of a senior brother for a junior sister, but the liking between a man and a woman. I want to become your Daoist partner, cultivate immortal arts together, and stay by your side forever. Are you... willing to give me this opportunity, and walk hand in hand on the road ahead?"
As he spoke, he stretched out one hand in front of the sorghum, waiting for its response.
Although he already guessed that Shushu wasn't indifferent to him, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel nervous, afraid that Shushu would reject him.
He, who had never been nervous in the face of all eyes in the Great Wall, now found his hands trembling slightly.
Shushu was well aware of his condition; her heart was pounding just as fast as it was going to jump out of her chest.
She wasn't one to be pretentious; she had long since realized she liked Lu Li, and now that Lu Li had sincerely confessed his feelings, she didn't hesitate at all before placing her hand in his.
"As dawn and dusk and years pass by, I wish to walk with you to the light-years."
This was her answer, and also her expectation.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li was taken aback at first, but after realizing what he meant, he smiled and hugged Shushu into his arms, repeating, "As dawn and dusk and years go by, I will walk with you to the light-years."
Two sincere and passionate hearts are incredibly close at this moment.
At the same time, the two finally felt each other's hearts pounding. They looked at each other and smiled, seeing undisguised joy and love in each other's eyes.
The greatest happiness is when the person you like likes you back.
Then, the two of them sat together on the throne, looking at the distant starlight.
It was only then that Shushu realized that this place was actually the star chart of the entire Dawei region, and each star in the distance represented a small world within Dawei.
With Lu Li's help, Shushu also found the worlds she had visited in them.
They also learned that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was actually the guardian of the Great Vault Realm throughout history, and was responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the Great Vault Realm, apart from the Heavenly Dao.
This astrolabe was a gift from Heaven to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion back then.
As for why Shushu and Lu Li were released, firstly, Lu Li begged Tianji Pavilion to give him what Tianji Pavilion needed in exchange for confessing his love here.
After all, confessing your love here is equivalent to confessing in front of the entire Dawei world, with all the worlds in Dawei as witnesses.
Secondly, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion needs Shushu's help to see which continents have problems, and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will send people to deal with them. This is also the order that Heavenly Will gave to the Heavenly Calculator today.
However, when they went to find Shushu, Shushu had fallen asleep, so they had to find Lu Li first, which is why Lu Li had this idea.
Upon hearing this, Shushu understood everything. After spending some more time cuddling with Lu Li, he began to get down to business, carefully observing each star.
Unable to find the trick at first, Shushu went to check out the Puyuan Realm where Lanqian was, and compared it with the feeling she had of the Yulin Continent.
She quickly found the trick and began to filter and record.
It was more than half a month later when she finished looking at all the stars.
He handed over the problematic mainland to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion for them to handle, and then took the opportunity to say goodbye.
