The imperial concubine is charming and coquettish, she crazily criticizes the tyrant for spoiling he

"Your Majesty!" Qing Sang exclaimed with delight as she rushed into Lian Xueyin's arms.

Even Xueyin hugged her tightly, feeling this long-lost embrace.

Qing Sang heard the "thump, thump" of a heartbeat; it was Lian Xueyin's heartbeat, strong and powerful. The vibrations in her chest were transmitted through the intimate contact, making Qing Sang feel, in a daze, that there was a heart beating in her own chest as well. This surprise came too suddenly and too intensely. She felt that her heart should also be pounding, but there was nothing there. Her desire to find her heart intensified once again.

The two hugged for a while, and Lian Xueyin gently kissed her forehead: "Relying on the Divine Mirror, I can only appear briefly. I'm sorry I can't stay with you for too long."

Qing Sang shook her head: "It's alright, things are much better now. Once this is over, I'll quickly find my heart and uncover the truth. However, Chang Li still managed to escape. He has someone behind him, and they must be from higher up." She was still somewhat resentful when she spoke of Chang Li.

"If his target is your heart, then he will never give up. Don't worry, I have a feeling we're getting closer to the truth." Lian Xueyin comforted her. He had also sensed that last bit of divine power, and for a moment, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. However, this feeling was too distant, and his memories hadn't fully returned, so he couldn't immediately recall who it was, but it must be related to the divine realm. This was just a guess, so he didn't tell Qing Sang directly. He was only able to appear briefly now, and he would do his best to protect his beloved.

He touched Qing Sang's lips and said, "Don't think too much, get some rest! I'll stay with you!"

"Mmm!" Qing Sang nodded. She wanted to spend more time with Lian Xueyin, but she was too tired and soon fell asleep in Lian Xueyin's arms.

Lian Xueyin lay on his side, gazing tenderly at the sleeping eyes of the person in his arms, his gaze tracing her features, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her. His endless life was filled with despair and violence, but Qing Sang's appearance was like a ray of light shining through a crack in the dark sky, illuminating his life. Although he still couldn't escape his predetermined fate, fortunately, that ray of light never left, and he tried his best to grasp it, letting it freely enter and become a part of him.

Qing Sang slept very soundly. When she woke up, all her fatigue had vanished, and she felt refreshed. She stretched lazily, then stopped and immediately looked to her side. The area was empty, but there were still clear signs that someone had lain there, confirming that last night's events weren't a dream, and that even Xue Yin could appear beside her. This made her feel even better, as if she were filled with boundless energy. She now wanted to immediately set off for Zhongzhou to have her master determine the location of his heart.

When Qing Sang appeared in the main hall humming a little tune, everyone could sense her good mood and assumed that she was happy because the matter of the Gu Clan had come to an end. Qing Sang did not offer any further explanation.

During the meal, Song Tanxi told her that Song Yunting planned to take over the Gu Clan and become the new Holy Master. Although he had learned many Gu techniques in a short time thanks to his talent and had even acquired the super Gu King Xiao Liu by chance, his foundation was still too shallow, and he needed to cultivate diligently. The Gu Clan was the best place for him to cultivate. Moreover, the Gu Clan had just experienced turmoil, and the ordinary disciples and civilians were innocent and needed a new leader to settle them down. Song Tanxi, however, was worried about Song Yunting alone. He needed to cultivate and certainly wouldn't have the energy to clean up this mess. She had to stay and help her brother, so she couldn't leave with Qing Sang.

"Ah Sang, I'm so sorry, I can't take care of you anymore!" Song Tanxi said apologetically.

"It's alright! Just follow your heart!" Qing Sang handed each of them a red leaf as a link, which would guide them to her. She also left them all the moonlight she had stored, which could save their lives in critical moments and help them advance further. She also left the dream-creating bubble that Yue Ran had given her for the Dream Ephemeral Flower.

"Then we'll meet again!"

"We'll meet again! We'll come find you as soon as possible!" Song Tanxi's eyes were slightly red.

Lan Suyu had no attachment to the Gu Clan and wanted to follow Qing Sang to Zhongzhou to find the Star-Picking Pavilion to answer her questions. Luo Ziqin and Yan Wangshan, the two brothers, had been away from home for far too long, and their near-death experience made them even more eager to return to Midnight City. Therefore, in the end, Qing Sang, Qing Luo, Liu Shuangyue, Lan Suyu, Luo Ziqin, and Yan Wangshan left the Gu Clan together and stepped back into the Hundred Miasma Forest. (End of Chapter)
