Love and Destiny (宸汐缘)

Ling Xi, I knew that you would not die.

Senior Deity possesses remarkable abilities. He surely will not let anything bad happen to you.

Shisan, let us leave first.

That...how come after just going down and making one round,

you returned as a high god already? Such good luck.

Senior Deity, I also want to go down and experience my tribulation.

Better if I can have 80 tribulations in one life.

This way, I would be more awesome than Heavenly Supreme Lord.

- Ling Xi, I— - Shisan.

Senior Deity, we still have some minor things to do. We will take our leave now.

- What did you want to tell me last time? - I don't have anything to tell you. - That thing you were saying.

I want—

Senior Deity, I will take my leave.

Come over here.

While in the mortal world, I could not hear your heartbeat.

I thought you were sick.

Does it hurt?

How could it not hurt? You were so silly.

Say, what are they talking about inside?

Ling Xi has not returned for so long. She has not chatted with us yet.

What is there to talk about with just the two of them?

Shisan, if you want to know, go in and take a look. What can you hear by staying outside?

Why not you go in yourself?

Me? I still want to live.

General Kaiyang, you said that State Preceptor Jingxiu fo Shanling Tribe

gave his own life bead to Ling Xi. Is that true?

It is true. I saw it myself.

That life bead is where their life's true energy is kept.

If he gave it to Lingxi, it would cause great harm to his body. Did he not get injured?

How could he not? He was badly battered.

He was like a blood man.

Huayan, you seemed very concerned about this State Preceptor Jingxiu.

No. I just...feel that...

Since that State Preceptor Jingxiu gave Ling Xi his life bead,

he must like her a lot.

When Ling Xi's body died, he was in great grief.

Then, he just fainted. He must like her a lot.

What is the use? He dared to steal Senior Deity's woman.

Does he not want to live anymore?

State Preceptor, I brought a witch doctor.

Let her examine you.

You are severely wounded.

State Preceptor, the Spirit-Binding Abyss has been closed.

We have captured most of Zhonghao's men.

Those who luckily escaped are not enough to cause future troubles.

Just that State Master Lingyue...

State Master Lingyue is severely wounded and is still unconscious.

She has been settled down in her chambers.

As for what to do, please instruct us.

State Preceptor.

State Preceptor, Demon Monarch has been killed.

This means that Miss Lin Mo

has successfully passed her tribulation. She did not die.

What did you say?

Miss Lin Mo did not die.

A'Mo did not die?

Right.

Did not die?

Where is she?

Where?

Heavenly Palace. She must be in Heavenly Palace.

How come she did not return?

Jiuchen.

You created all these.

It was you who took my A'Mo away.

Witch doctor, take care.

What is wrong with State Preceptor?

This is his heart's knot. Figuring it out

will be better for him.

What is most important now is State Master Lingyue.

If she safely wakes up,

we would be in great danger.

State Master!

State Master.

What is wrong with State Master?

State Master.

State Master.

Has the witch doctor come?

He said that State Master was under the Soul Absorption Spell for too long and it harmed her primordial energy.

Then after, she got severely wounded. She is at her last breath.

If not because of her Phoenix Tribe blood protecting her body,

she would have died long ago.

Who wants to hear those nonsense?

Let me ask you this. Did the witch doctor say

when State Master will wake up?

He also did not say. He only said to use high-grade red sage to continue her life.

Maybe with her strong power, she would wake up on her own.

Nonsense!

Let me ask you, who delivered State Master here?

Heavenly Palace's God of War.

I heard that it was State Preceptor who killed Zhonghao.

Together with God of War, they saved State Master.

Jingxiu?

Yes.

It was really thanks to State Preceptor for making a move. Not only did he kill the rebel Zhonghao,

he also saved State Master's life from below the Spirit-Binding Abyss. Just that he also was severely wounded.

Since returning, he summoned the witch doctor to examine him.

Until now, he never came out to see anyone.

I also heard that State Preceptor Jingxiu has found the biological daughter of State Master,

Princess Ling Xi.

Ling Xi?

Senior Deity...

Remember this.

The one who lived with you

in the Peach Flower Lodge,

the one who sewed you clothing and cooked for you,

the mortal who was wiling to be your wife,

her name is Lin Mo.

The girl you have been waiting

is called Ling Xi.

Ling Xi. Are you asleep?

Senior Deity.

You are looking for Ling Xi?

She must be sleeping.

It is already very late. You should rest early.

Senior Deity, you do your thing then.

I will sleep now.

Senior Deity.

I am not hungry.

You are already a high god. You can survive your days just by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

Of course, you will not feel hungry.

This is the marrow of a jade stone, the essence of jade from the underground palace of the Western Seas.

It stabilizes your foundation and nourishes your energy. A good medicine that can consolidate your cultivation level.

You just got promoted to a high god.

Taking this in would be beneficial to you.

This medicine is very cold. Drink slowly.

Senior Deity, I am tired.

Yuantong, you belittled the Heavenly Laws,

willfully committed violent acts, killed your comrades.

Based on those crimes, you should have been executed.

But Heavenly Emperor considered how your Yuan Clan

contributed to the Heavenly Court

so you are being punished to be rid of your immortal bone,

removed from the immortal ranks, and banished to the mortal world.

You will never be allowed to return to the Heavenly Court.

You have not much time left here in Nine Heavens.

Do you have anything you want to say?

Your Yuan Clan has been wise for generations.

Never thought it would get destroyed in your hands.

I have some words for you.

When you reach the mortal world, be good.

Do not repeat your mistakes.

Senior Deity.

When in the mortal world, you would call me Jiuchen.

That was Lin Mo from the mortal world. She does not know the rules.

Between us today,

do we still need any rules?

You are leaving.

Where are you going? Peach Forest?

Senior Deity, I found my mother.

Do you know that she is in the Shanling Region?

Since little, I was separated from her.

I was never by her side for even a day.

For the future days, I want to accompany her more.

Will you stll come back?

Can I visit you?

No need.

You had a hard time this past period of time.

It seems like since you met me,

you did not have any good days.

For several times, it had been near-death experiences with huge amount of energy losses.

Now, everything is in the past.

Why not just calm your mind and focus on cultivating?

I did not find it hard.

But I am already tired.

Senior Deity,

I am Ling Xi,

but I am also Lin Mo.

Consecutively going through three tribulations

would make you feel a bit tired.

You would frequently unable to discern who you really are.

I need some time to sort out my thoughts.

Look. From life until death, the Zhuri Bird

has been pursuing the sun.

Do now know if...

If there will be one day that it would finally come round

and want to stop for a while.

Senior Deity.

You once told me

that love is not the only thing in this world.

A person's standpoint, perseverance,

and responsibility are also important.

The past Ling Xi was willful. She was not able to practice her filial duties to her father when he was still alive.

Now, the Heaven was merciful to me and gave me a mother.

That is why, Senior Deity,

I am leaving.

Senior Deity, take care.

With my mother gravely injured, who is taking care of her?

State Master was gravely injured and has been unconscious since.

The witch doctor has seen her many times and was out of ideas to cure her. It has been Grandma Shi who is taking care of her.
