"No……"
"..."
It's actually normal for Sui Lan to break down.
After all, who could bear to learn that their background had been a lie all along, and that their true identity was so unbearable?
After the writing stopped, the 'book' also disappeared from Wan Jiao's palm.
At the same time, she could clearly feel that there was a book in her consciousness.
As Sui Lan said, it recognized her as its master!
From then on, no one in the world except Wan Jiao could summon it.
Inside the sealed room, the scene suddenly changes.
It's an illusion.
Although Wan Jiao and Sui Lan were in the thick of it and could see everything, they were powerless to do anything about it.
A sea monster woman with a crescent-shaped birthmark between her eyebrows gently stroked her high, protruding belly. She was smiling, but tears were still streaming down her face. "Gu Lang, we can only meet again in the next life."
As the woman finished speaking, a flute flew out from her sleeve.
Upon seeing the flute, the woman couldn't even hold onto her smile.
Because this was the only thing her beloved had left her besides the child in her womb. It was a flute he had carved himself; he said that seeing the flute was like seeing the man himself.
The happier they were when they were together, the more unbearable the pain is now that they are separated by the human and demon realms and will never see each other again.
"Gu Lang, you said this flute is called the Crescent Moon Flute. Have you ever thought about how much I miss you every time I see it and say its name?"
“Gu Lang…”
"..."
The woman cried uncontrollably.
The crescent-shaped flute seemed to understand her emotions, gently patting her shoulder incessantly.
She didn't realize it at first, but after she had cried enough and had no more tears left to shed, she sniffed and said, "Are you trying to comfort me? You are a flute that Gu Lang carved himself, and you actually have such a spiritual quality?"
Crescent Flute nuzzled the woman's hand in response.
The woman, unable to see anything else, assumed she had guessed correctly.
"It's good to have you with me. With you here, I'm not so lonely in this deep sea." The woman said, hugging the flute to her chest. "When my child is born, I will tell her that you are the only thing her father left her."
At this moment, Wan Jiao and Sui Lan, who were in the illusion, could clearly see the soul attached to the crescent flute.
That was none other than the Gu Lang the woman had been talking about…
Seeing the woman crying her heart out, his expression was one of deep anguish. Heaven knows how much he wanted to tell her he was always there, always by her side, but… he couldn't utter a sound, nor could he let her see him.
So it turns out... humans and demons are destined to be apart.
But in the end... ghosts and demons are also included.
Their fate has run its course!
The scene shifts, several months later!
The woman gave birth to a daughter. She named her Sui Lan, which is a homophone of the name of her beloved.
Gu Suilan.
Sui Lan.
The child born from the union of a human and a demon is a half-demon.
The woman had no desire to live after learning of Gu Suilan's death several days prior. If she could do something meaningful for her child before she died, it would be a blessing from heaven.
She used her demonic power, cultivated for a thousand years, to give Sui Lan, a half-demon, the opportunity to become a true sea monster, and passed the throne, which was within her grasp, to her younger sister.
As her soul dissipated, her sister promised her, "From now on, Sui Lan will be the princess of my sea monster clan."
The scene then changes.
Little Suilan inherited everything from her biological mother, Yueya, on the very day her soul vanished, including the crescent-shaped flute…
