The jade pendant on the woman’s body was identical to the one given to her by Linyuan. Even more terrifying was that this woman looked exactly like her.
She stared wide-eyed for a long time, unable to speak. The woman slowly raised her hand to caress her face and said word by word, "You remember now, everything you have experienced in these days is the truth you had forgotten before."
Her vision turned pitch black. Things hidden deep within began to surface, and she remembered everything.
She was Su Luan, a lotus flower before the Buddha, long plagued by illness. It was Linyuan who noticed her loneliness and asked Buddha to bring her back for cultivation.
Linyuan never took disciples, so she was recorded under Mo Zhe's name. Although Mo Zhe treated her well, he often disappeared for days on end. When she was left starving and on the brink of death, Linyuan reluctantly took over her care, catching crabs to feed her until she grew up.
At that time, he always wore pure white clothes, untainted by dust, and was the object of admiration for all Immortal Women. She was deeply worried and didn’t want Linyuan to be taken away, so she called upon her master to ascend.
Master Mo Zhe had secretly lived among mortals for years because he had fallen for a mortal woman. She carefully kept this secret but called upon him this time for an important matter.
However, a sudden change was imminent; as soon as her master arrived, a large number of Heavenly Soldiers surged in and surrounded him.
Her mind went blank; just as she intended to step forward, Linyuan suddenly appeared and pulled her back.
The Heavenly Soldiers stated that her master’s private interactions with mortal women violated heavenly laws and would be punished with Heavenly Punishment, and that the mortal woman would also be implicated.
With red eyes, her master questioned her, but she revealed the secret.
She cried incessantly and shook her head repeatedly while Linyuan held her hand tighter and tighter until her master left.
The only ones who knew about this matter were him and Linyuan. She believed that it must have been Linyuan who betrayed her. Her hatred peaked when her master was sentenced to death!
She knew there were immortal herbs on Fairy Island in the east that could bring someone back to life, but it was guarded by divine beasts. She planned to go alone but was stopped by Linyuan just before leaving.
He gazed deeply at her and asked in a hoarse voice, "If I say that matter has nothing to do with me, will you believe me?"
She smiled coldly, and her silence was already an answer.
He turned pale and looked at her, saying, "Su Luan, the Celestial Realm has been suspicious of why Mo Zhe is always absent, which is why they gradually started to investigate, leading to this situation. I held onto you out of selfishness; I didn't want you to get involved. I can steal that celestial herb for you, but..."
"Don't say anymore." She gritted her teeth tightly.
At that moment, she couldn't dare to believe it, because once she did, she feared that she would become attached to the warmth he offered and would be unwilling to risk her life to seek the celestial herb for her master: "I don't need you to do anything for me! Do you know what I regret the most? I wish I had never met you!"
How she wished she had never met him; then she wouldn't harbor any hatred towards him.
With those words, silence enveloped the surroundings.
The moonlight slowly cast a cold glow down, and after a while, Linyuan suddenly laughed, a desperate smile: "Not knowing me? That's fine..." His voice was gently carried away by the wind, and her vision suddenly blurred.
The last thing she saw was him looking deeply at her, that sorrowful smile resembling a farewell.
Her memories were erased and replaced by him; all the kindness he once showed her was replaced with Mo Zhe's face. Her memories turned into Mo Zhe being completely obedient to her, while Linyuan killed Mo Zhe...
He wanted her to hate him, perhaps knowing that this time he would not return.
Sure enough, he failed in stealing the celestial herb; his soul was torn apart and swallowed by the Three-Headed Divine Beast, dying completely. Yet she remained oblivious and felt no sorrow.
The one who pushed her into the Jade Pool was no one else but herself; it was that part of herself that split from her subconscious. There was no such thing as the mortal realm; everything was an illusion she set for herself, just to recreate all those scenes and help her unravel Linyuan's spell on her.
She stared blankly at the jade pendant in her hand; it was given to her by Linyuan. She should wake up...
Suddenly, the sound of insects chirping reached her ears. She lay by the Jade Pool and slowly opened her eyes, surrounded by complete darkness...
She fought desperately to steal the corpse of Linyuan from the Temple of the Immortals, carrying it tightly on her back.
Every step on the way to Southern Heaven felt like walking on a mountain of knives. She climbed the mountain reverently, kneeling with each step, her knees bloodied and raw, yet she carefully tended to Linyuan's body.
After an unknown amount of time, she knelt before the Buddha, covered in blood and dirt, pleading, "I ask Buddha to return Linyuan's soul and spirit. I am willing to give up everything in exchange for my soul to scatter."
"Sinful being, do you know that he must endure five hundred years of drifting before he can be reborn as a human? And you will not be able to reconnect with him."
"I know." She lowered her gaze, unable to hold back her tears. "But I just want him to be alive."
Everything was her doing; it was only right that she should return it.
She gently caressed Linyuan's face. He still looked the same as before, handsome and ethereal as ever, and suddenly she recalled things she had long forgotten.
At that time, when seeking her master in the heavenly realm, she wanted to tell him about her relationship with Linyuan and ask him to choose a good day for her to be forcibly married to Linyuan, so that Linyuan would catch crabs for her for a lifetime.
But in the end, before she could say anything, everything had already turned upside down.
Her fingertips trembled, and she finally cried uncontrollably.
Linyuan, you said that if nothing had ever happened, how wonderful that would be.
