In the cave, the snake demon stayed by Shen Li’s side, watching her struggle painfully to recover with the Fire Lotus. After just one day, Shen Li was already finding it hard to endure. The snake demon tried to raise the Fire Lotus’s temperature to help warm Shen Li’s cold internal energy. During a break, Shen Li told the snake demon that she was born carrying a pearl.

Since the Bihai Cangzhu belonged to her, how could it clash with her own spiritual energy? From this, the snake demon guessed Shen Li’s identity and felt that the Lingzun must have hidden some truths from Shen Li. Perhaps the Bihai Cangzhu was merely a demon core. As she spoke, the snake demon took out her own core to show Shen Li; its color and luster were quite similar to the Bihai Cangzhu.

Shen Li was startled, asking whether the snake demon wasn’t afraid of someone stealing it by leaving it so casually aside. On the eighth day of the treatment, Fu Sheng led a horde of puppets to the snow mountain to snatch treasures. The snake demon urged Shen Li to stay put no matter what, to hold on for the full eight days, or else all their previous efforts would be wasted.

After giving her instructions, the snake demon personally went out to fight the enemies. Fu Sheng unleashed wave after wave of puppets. The snake demon remained calm and steady. Having lived so long, what scenes had she not witnessed? Fu Sheng’s ambition to snatch her core was simply laughable. Fu Sheng commanded countless puppets to directly steal the snake demon’s core. Realizing that Fu Sheng was no benevolent soul, the snake demon eventually lost her core during the battle.

Seeing him retreat, she too withdrew and did not pursue him. Some puppets traced Shen Li’s location. In protecting her, Xing Zhi accidentally fell with her into a mysterious formation eye. The snake demon said that this place was a sealed land, easy to enter but hard to exit. To get out, they would have to find the formation eye themselves. Shen Li was burning up; her recovery was not yet complete.

Xing Zhi asked how the snake demon had helped her heal the previous days. Embarrassed, Shen Li explained that the snake demon, whose body was naturally cold, would accompany her during her practice, lightly stroking her abdomen to help quickly lower her temperature. With only one precious day of treatment left, Shen Li was eager to fully merge the Bihai Cangzhu. Xing Zhi used his divine power to shield Shen Li and help her fuse the clashing energies within her.

Shen Li felt restless and soon sensed someone whispering in her ear. The voice said that since the place was sealed, no one outside could know what was happening inside, so she might as well give in to her desires. Shen Li reminded herself she must not violate Xing Zhi. He bore heavy responsibilities as the last ancient deity.

But the voice in her ear said that deities could not fall in love, while Shen Li was free to do whatever she wished. Since birth, Shen Li had carried the burden of the Ling Clan, suppressing her emotions every day—how could she have ever truly faced her own heart? Soon after, within the formation eye, Shen Li saw a scene: after learning of her death, Xing Zhi ran in despair to the East Sea.

In his hopelessness, he froze the entire East Sea, which led to a massive wound on his back as punishment from heaven. Only now did Shen Li realize how grievously Xing Zhi had been hurt because of her. She was deeply moved. Xing Zhi struggled to control his emotions, telling Shen Li that his injury wasn’t because he violated celestial laws, but because he lost her.

Not only did Shen Li hear voices; Xing Zhi too was being lured by countless whispers. As a deity who had lived alone in the world for tens of thousands of years, keeping the weight of the world on his shoulders, when sorrow overwhelmed him, he would sit alone facing the spirit tablets of fallen deities. How many could truly understand such loneliness? Xing Zhi longed to possess Shen Li—especially after discovering she was still alive.

They had already missed too much. When apart, he endured endless longing; when together, he constantly suppressed his feelings. He wished time could stop forever, yet he knew separation was inevitable. Every moment was unbearably cruel. Shen Li turned to face Xing Zhi, finally willing to confront her own heart. She gently kissed Xing Zhi, murmuring that she was fully aware of what she was doing and had long wanted to do so. Around them, the lake surface shimmered with waves of light as the two of them embraced with deep passion.
