"The demon clan has also sensed the presence of Tears of the Stars and has already sent someone to Kunlun Mountain." As Du Ming's words fell, a dark shadow blocked our path, emanating a nauseating stench. "Want Tears of the Stars? Then step over my corpse!" It was Heisha! How could he arrive so quickly?
There was no time to think; Heisha had already swung his black blade, charging at us with fierce demonic energy. Du Ming shielded me behind him, gathering a golden light in his hand to counter Heisha's attack. With a loud bang, the entire valley trembled.
"Lingxi, you go find Tears of the Stars; I'll handle this!" Du Ming said without looking back. "Don't worry, I won't lose!" I understood the situation and without hesitation turned to run deeper into the canyon.
"Want to escape? Not so easy!" Heisha roared, attempting to chase me but was firmly entangled by Du Ming. "Your opponent is me!" Du Ming's gaze was sharp, and the golden light in his hand intensified as he launched relentless attacks that forced Heisha to retreat repeatedly.
I ran frantically and finally found a hidden cave at the end of the canyon. Deep inside the cave, a blue gem radiating dazzling light floated in mid-air, emitting powerful spiritual energy waves. It was Tears of the Stars! I felt a surge of joy and hurried forward to retrieve it.
"Hahaha, little girl from the human race, do you think you can succeed?" Suddenly, a chilling voice came from behind me. I turned around abruptly to see a man in a black robe and mask standing behind me. "Who are you?"
"I am the Demon God; today, I will claim this Tears of the Stars!" As soon as the Demon God finished speaking, a powerful pressure surged toward me, making it hard for me to breathe and immobilizing my body.
"Lingxi!" Du Ming's anxious shout came from the cave entrance, followed by a flash of golden light. The Demon God let out a muffled groan and staggered back a few steps. Seizing the opportunity, I summoned my spiritual energy and broke free from his grasp. "Du Ming, be careful!"
The Demon God was clearly enraged; he roared furiously as demonic energy surged around him. "You overestimate yourself!" He swung his black sword at Du Ming with fierce attacks. Du Ming did not back down either; he condensed the golden light into a sharp blade and engaged in battle with the Demon God.
I knew I couldn't stand by idly; I leaped into action, launching my Silver Needle straight at the Demon God's vital points. Caught off guard, he was struck by my Silver Needle and let out a scream. Taking advantage of his weakness, both Du Ming and I unleashed all our spiritual energy into our attacks.
With a loud boom, we severely injured the Demon God; he collapsed weakly to the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and rage. I rushed forward and snatched Tears of the Stars from his hands. At the same time, Du Ming took Moon Essence from him as well. Together we set up a seal to completely imprison the Demon God within the cave.
With the sealing of the Demon God, the gloom that had shrouded Cultivation World dissipated, and sunlight once again bathed the land. The names of Du Ming and me spread throughout Cultivation World after this great battle. Our love story of fighting side by side became a legendary tale cherished by many.
As sunlight poured over us, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief. With the Demon God sealed away, Cultivation World returned to its former tranquility, and our story became legendary. But I knew that more than fame, we longed for a peaceful life.
Back in the human realm, everything in the Du Family had changed. Mr. Du, who once spoke coldly to me, now showed concern for my well-being and even entrusted family affairs entirely to me and Du Ming. I realized he recognized all that I had done for Du Ming and accepted me as his daughter-in-law.
"Lingxi, you and Du Ming are capable children; from now on, the Du Family will rely on you both," Mr. Du said earnestly while patting my hand.
I looked at Du Ming; his eyes sparkled with warmth as he gently held my hand. In that moment, I knew we were not only lovers but also partners fighting side by side to protect everything we loved.
Life seemed calm on the surface, but fate always loved to play tricks. During one free clinic session, I encountered a special patient. His complexion was pale, his body extremely weak, yet no cause for his illness could be found. I exhausted various methods but to no avail.
"How could this happen?" I stared at the examination report with a furrowed brow.
"What’s wrong?" Du Ming approached me with concern. I handed him the report; his expression grew serious as well.
"This situation is unheard of," Du Ming pondered for a moment. "Perhaps we need to study it more deeply."
We decided to tackle this medical mystery together in hopes of bringing hope not only to this patient but also to many others like him. However, as our research deepened, we discovered that this was not merely an illness but an unknown force at work...
"This power seems familiar..." I gazed at the constantly changing cells under the microscope as an unsettling feeling surged within me.
