"I never expected that in the end, you would win... Very well, go ahead and consume me," the Fire Spirit Stone sighed softly.
"Stop with the nonsense; I will help you through your tribulation," the Ice Spirit Stone replied with a faint smile, resting its body against the Fire Spirit Stone, turning its face slightly with a satisfied expression.
The intertwining of red and white robes, with the two of them overlapping, momentarily captivated me, making me forget the tumultuous surroundings and leaving only their harmonious presence before me.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck fiercely, tearing through the space and igniting scorching sparks as it aimed directly at the two of them!
Even though the Ice Spirit Stone had activated a barrier to protect them both, the terrifying power of the lightning was not something that could be easily resisted!
With just this one strike, cracks began to appear in the Ice Spirit Stone's barrier!
Indeed, as it shielded itself around the Fire Spirit Stone, the Ice Spirit Stone's expression tightened instantly, pursing its lips while maintaining its current posture.
Given their cultivation levels, they were likely to face ten strikes of divine retribution, with each bolt more powerful than the last.
The second strike, third strike, fourth strike—three consecutive blows struck down before they finally had a moment to catch their breath.
"Leave," the Fire Spirit Stone forced itself to open its eyes and uttered just two words.
"No," the Ice Spirit Stone stubbornly clung tighter around the Fire Spirit's neck, unmoving despite the thunder.
"You—" The Fire Spirit Stone did not continue but merely sighed softly.
"If we had been as peaceful back then as we are now, would so many troubles have occurred?" the Ice Spirit Stone murmured.
"Why is it so?" The Fire Spirit Stone resignedly closed its eyes, no longer struggling or calling for the Ice Spirit Stone to leave; it seemed truly exhausted.
"When heaven and earth first opened, you and I transformed into ice. The Fire Spirit Stone descended into the spring of ice and fire. Though we were less than ten meters apart, there was an insurmountable distance between us. Born to oppose each other and incompatible by nature; if one side touches the other, one will die while the other lives. Not only are we incompatible but also mutually exclusive; if we do not wish to be constrained, we must consume each other."
"I know, you've always wanted to devour me; I am a thorn in your heart."
"That's why I willingly sealed myself in the Demon Realm of Los Crystal. Otherwise, with its power, it wouldn't be so easy to seal me."
"But do you know? I fell in love with you at first sight."
"I enjoyed playing the game of chase with you, loved seeing your flustered expression. In the Ice Fire Spring, I learned to secretly gaze at you, yet you never noticed me. When you finally looked at me, it was only to eat me."
"However, have we been deceived? Look, we are clearly together now, and there is no reaction at all."
The Ice Spirit Stone smiled and spoke a lot, seemingly wanting to say everything at that moment. She tightly held the hand of the Crimson Spirit Stone, and everything came to a standstill.
The Fifth Thunderbolt struck!
The barrier shattered with a sound!
The Ice Spirit Stone spat out a mouthful of liquid and collapsed completely onto the Fire Spirit Stone.
"Devour me, transcend the tribulation," the Ice Spirit Stone said in the end.
Then came the Sixth Thunder, and their exposed bodies could not withstand this lightning strike!
Before I could think further, my body instinctively made a choice...
Great Divine Feather, please help me once more!
"Pure Sound Armor, defense—!"
As I recklessly lunged toward the two of them, I couldn't help but curse inwardly: Xi Meng, this is the dumbest decision you've ever made.
If even the Ice Spirit Stone with such cultivation couldn't withstand five thunder strikes, how could I possibly endure the sixth?!
With a heavy heart, I protected the two of them and sighed, thinking that it was time to close my eyes and wait for death.
Seeing it happen is one thing; experiencing it firsthand is another. My body didn't even have time to feel pain before I felt a sensation of fragmentation, as if all my organs were trying to leave me. My body felt light, and my mind was blank...
At that moment, I thought I was surely going to die.
Suddenly, I realized that I could see the three bodies stacked beside me from a third-person perspective: myself, the Ice Spirit Stone, and the Fire Spirit Stone.
Could it be that I was really going to die again? My soul and body had separated once more!
I knew that when the seventh bolt of heavenly thunder struck, even the little consciousness I had left would be obliterated into nothingness.
At that moment, a light shone from my heart area, and a blue droplet of liquid floated out. Suddenly, I remembered that this was the blood essence given to me by the Prisoner!
I floated in mid-air, staring at my body on the ground, motionless. Had I really died?
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang——!"
Four thunderous booms echoed one after another!
I watched in astonishment as the droplet of blood from the Prisoner surged through the remaining four bolts of heavenly thunder, forcefully pushing them away!
The divine punishment had passed, and the world returned to its previous calm. I stared blankly at everything before me. Who exactly was the Prisoner? His blood essence could withstand divine punishment?!
In my shock, my body felt light again, as if a strong force was pulling me toward the ground!
When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying on the ground completely unharmed. I moved my body and realized I had no injuries at all.
Beside me, the Ice Fire Spirit Stone was still unconscious, but their hands remained tightly clasped together.
After a moment of daze, my hand unconsciously brushed over my heart. It did feel somewhat empty; that droplet of blood must be gone...
Shaking my head, I thought, forget it, Xi Meng. That was never yours to begin with.
However, the blurred face of the prisoner just wouldn't disappear.
Prisoner, are you still looking at me?
...
"Am I still alive?"
I didn't expect the first to wake up would be Fire Spirit Stone. He raised his hand in surprise and glanced at Ice Spirit Stone, who was lying on him, then looked at me in disbelief.
"The divine punishment has passed." I got up and gently helped Ice Spirit Stone sit up.
Fire Spirit Stone trembled as he stood up and said, "Give her to me."
I was taken aback but did not hand Ice Spirit Stone over to him.
"I won't take the opportunity to consume her," Fire Spirit Stone saw through my thoughts and said.
Having just gone through a life-and-death ordeal, Ice Spirit Stone protected him so fiercely; I figured Fire Spirit Stone wouldn't do something so despicable.
Fire Spirit Stone carefully adjusted Ice Spirit Stone's clothes and brushed her hair with his hand, whispering, "I owe her a life."
I nodded.
"I owe you both a life," Fire Spirit Stone added.
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond. It would indeed be a bit excessive to take this opportunity to demand their allegiance to me.
However, there was one thing I had to clarify.
"Silver Moon really—"
Has he really left me?
The Fire Spirit Stone stared for a while before sighing, "Silver Moon's essence is transformed from the Dark Stone; it's not so easy for me to digest."
"He's still inside you? He's not dead?!"
"Yes," the Fire Spirit Stone nodded.
"Please give him back to me, okay?"
"Even if he’s not dead, the injuries on him will take a long time to heal. If I return him to you now, he would just be an empty shell."
"A long time to recover? Is it serious?"
"I can't guarantee how long it will take; it might never heal... When Siyimo entrusted him to me, his soul had already suffered great trauma. He barely retains a trace of consciousness. The only reason he could hold on until then was because of the memories of you and him that supported him."
Silver Moon...
Tears streamed down my face. Why didn't I find Silver Moon sooner!
"In fact, if I could, I would be willing to give up everything to exchange for those memories. I wish I were him," the Fire Spirit Stone whispered, so softly it seemed like he was speaking to himself.
I ignored the Fire Spirit Stone's sadness, focusing solely on Silver Moon, and sighed, "The Ice Spirit Stone has also done his best for you."
The Fire Spirit Stone merely smiled faintly, with a hint of bitterness, and said, "Alright, I'll return him to you."
The Fire Spirit Stone stepped back two paces and opened his mouth.
Sure enough, a black Life Stone emerged from his mouth! This was indeed the aura of Silver Moon!
The Life Stone gently fell into my palm, and I whispered, "Yue."
This meeting was truly hard to come by.
With my hands clasped together, I held onto the true form of Yue.
Can you feel it, Yue? This is my warmth.
To wait for a stone to transform back into human form is not something that can be achieved in just a hundred years. Alas, I wonder if I have that long to see your face again...
But it's alright; we are finally together again.
"I will send someone to find your companions. Just stay here and do not step out; Siyimo will not find you."
"If one day you need me, I will naturally appear." Saying this, the Fire Spirit Stone lightly touched me, and a red-golden inverted triangle immediately appeared on the back of my hand.
"This is the vow I have made, and it is forever valid."
Nodding, I could only blankly nod in response.
Then, the Fire Spirit Stone disappeared with the Ice Spirit Stone...
Everything seemed to follow a natural course, but it was far from what I had imagined.
Indeed, Xi Meng, you are a fool.
...
After the Fire Spirit Stone left, this space did not vanish; it was just that all the birds and beasts had disappeared. What remained was only a sea of red and gold, with nothing else around.
Aside from patiently waiting for my companions' return, I spent the rest of the time talking to the true form of Silver Moon, recounting everything that had happened since leaving him. At times I would cry, laugh, or get angry about certain things, but... Silver Moon showed no reaction at all.
I wasn't in a hurry; instead, I cherished this rare moment of relaxation even more. It was our last chance to enjoy time together without any worries.
Suddenly, the Soulbond Ring that Silver Moon had given me began to rise slowly from my neck. The ring detached itself from the chain and flew towards the true form of Silver Moon.
I was taken aback. I had never been able to wear this ring before. Could it be that it held some hidden significance?
The ring floated in mid-air, facing the Dark Stone, and astonishingly, Silver Moon's true form reacted!
It emitted a silver light similar to that of the Soulbond Ring, as if it were communicating with it.
In a moment, another ring appeared beside the first one, identical in every way. They intertwined, overlapped, and then separated, exuding a sense of longing like lovers who had been apart for a long time, expressing their reluctance to part.
Before long, the newly appeared ring floated steadily towards me. I reached out my hand to catch it, but to my surprise, it automatically slipped onto my finger.
Meanwhile, the ring I had been wearing vanished without a trace.
In a daze, I heard a voice saying, "Xi Meng, I have returned."
