Xingyun knew, of course, that he was a genius in Taoist magic.

He had heard these words countless times since he was a child.

He was also arrogant because he believed that he could master even the most difficult Taoist spells and incantations after learning them only once.

However, he always felt inferior when facing Yue Zheng.

He would never dare to hope that he would have any special privileges with Yuezheng.

Even though Yuezheng only had him in front of her at this moment, she still couldn't convince herself that her tears were for him.

Xingyun didn't know exactly when he fell in love with Yuezheng.

Perhaps it started as just liking, but through the little things we do together day and night, that liking has turned into love.

But he never voiced his love, keeping it hidden in his heart, silently watching her from a corner where Yuezheng couldn't see him.

He had thought about spending his whole life with her, until the end of time.

But how could he have foreseen that a battle involving tens of thousands of troops would destroy all his extravagant desires and hopes?

The time has come; he is about to perish completely in this world, and the emotions he has suppressed for hundreds of years will finally erupt.

He wanted her to admit that, in her long life, the first and only time she had shed tears for him.

Yuezheng stared blankly at the boy in front of her, letting him wipe away her tears once again.

She always knew he was very handsome.

When the old woman from Penglai brought Xingyun back as a child, she noticed him at first sight.

As children grow older, they become more and more beautiful.

Yuezheng still remembers that at that time, a traitor from Penglai Mountain who had gone mad with evil spirits captured Xingyun because Xingyun was too beautiful and mistook her for her.

Admittedly, they are all several hundred years old now, but because they are Taoist practitioners, their appearances have remained unchanged since their youth.

His face remained handsome, almost captivating all who beheld him.

When he looked at her, the only image in his eyes was her.

Xingyun smiled and called out to her again, "Senior Sister?"

His voice was also very pleasant, like a feather falling gently, touching the tip of her heart.

“I…” Yuezheng began, her voice choked with sobs and incoherent, “Yes.”

This one word made Xingyun's eyebrows and eyes brighten, and she smiled.

He was even more beautiful when he smiled, as if all the stars in the Milky Way had shattered in his eyes.

It's hard not to succumb to such gazes.

“Senior Sister, you have clearly cultivated the Jade Bone Ice Heart Dao Technique, so you will never fall in love.” Xingyun leaned down, her forehead touching Yuezheng’s. “The Holy Maiden of Penglai should be ruthless towards the world.”

His aura was slightly cool and chilly, a result of the Northern Sea magic.

The disciples of Beiming with low cultivation levels cannot even get close to Xingyun, because they will be frozen into ice sculptures in an instant.

But Yuezheng could feel a continuous warmth flowing into her body from where their skin touched.

"Now it seems that Master was wrong too." Xingyun raised his hand and slowly pulled her into his arms again. "Senior Sister is ruthless but more affectionate than I am. I am very happy."

Having received Yuezheng's affirmation, he was in a better mood than ever before.

Yuezheng suddenly awoke with a start, exclaiming, "You...you are Xiao Yun from three hundred years ago?!"

Yes.

Xingyun had already given up his soul to save her.

The last time she heard her voice was when he helped her regain control of her body.

“It’s me, Senior Sister.” Xingyun hummed in agreement, gently stroking her hair with her other hand. “Rongshi is right. Her Highness the Princess is indeed the only variable in Shenzhou. She has returned to the unchangeable history.”

Yuezheng's body trembled, and she murmured repeatedly, "Unchangeable history..." "The current princess's strength is now unparalleled in the world," Xingyun continued, "I asked her to let me meet my senior sister, and my senior sister is doing very well now."

Yuezheng gritted her teeth, pursed her lips, and her clenched hands trembled violently: "I'm not alright..."

"What's wrong? Senior Sister should have already broken through to a higher level, right?" Xingyun asked. "Now Senior Sister can shatter the void and travel to the vast universe."

Yuezheng closed her eyes, her voice hoarse: "Because you're gone."

Xingyun's expression changed drastically, and his arm trembled.

Only he knew how difficult it was to get Yuezheng to say such a thing.

“What can I do, Senior Sister? I will fulfill all your wishes and desires.” Xingyun gave a helpless smile, his voice even softer, “But this is something I really can’t do.”

"Aren't you a genius of Taoist arts? Master said you are exceptionally talented, a genius rarely seen in the history of Taoist arts in China!" Yue Zheng became agitated. "Why...why not?"

Xingyun was silent for a moment.

A few seconds later, he smiled again and said, "Because I have a senior sister."

—I have a senior sister.

These five words, like a merciless torrent, engulfed Yue Zheng, instantly pulling her back to the years hundreds of years ago.

She was punished by the old man of Penglai to clean the Taoist temple, and after a while, the boy's figure also appeared.

"Junior brother, Master is punishing me, why are you here too?"

"Because I have a senior sister."

It was also when she descended the mountain into the mortal world to cultivate her Dao heart that she was besieged by bandits who did not know her identity.

Before she could even make a move, the suddenly appearing boy had already killed all the bandits.

"Junior brother? Didn't Master tell you to go into seclusion and cultivate?"

"Because I have a senior sister."

Every choice Xingyun made, every path she took, was because of her.

Countless memories flooded back, giving Yuezheng a terrible headache, and tears fell again.

This time, it wasn't her fingers that wiped away her tears, but the boy's cold lips.

Xingyun gently kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Then he sighed, "Senior sister, I apologize for my offense."

He couldn't help it, but he didn't want Yuezheng to see the darkness in his heart.

"If..." Yuezheng's body was still trembling, "I don't need you to save me, I just want you to live well."

Xingyun smiled.

He didn't answer, but Yuezheng already knew the answer.

“Senior sister, that’s enough.” Xingyun’s eyes were gentle. “Although you can’t fall in love, I know that I am unique in your heart, and that’s enough.”

He was indeed selfish and domineering.

He was going to die, but he wanted her to remember him forever.

"Of course you are unique!" Yuezheng couldn't control her emotions at all. "Have you ever seen me indulge anyone like you? They also call me senior sister, but they are not like you."

Xingyun closed her eyes briefly.

Even though the sentence didn't mention love at all, it still deeply affected his heart.

He has no regrets.

"Senior sister, please remember no matter what..." Xingyun raised his hand and stroked her face again, "I love you, no one can compare to me."

The stars will forever protect the moon, enduring through the ages. (End of Chapter)
