The battle between the Light Sanctuary and the Dark Sanctuary occurred one month later.
Ming Shu led the dark sorcerers out of the dark abyss and conquered lands along the way.
The Light Sanctuary tried to resist but they kept retreating.
The Dark Sanctuary called for more dark sorcerers to join them. All the dark sorcerers that were in hiding came out.
Because of this, the sorcerers of the magic lands realized that there were more dark sorcerers than theyâd imagined.
With Ming Shu around, the Light Sanctuary had no chance of winning.
In the end, the Hall Master of the Light Sanctuary came to negotiate with Ming Shu.
Three months later, the Dark Sanctuary and the Light Sanctuary lived peacefully together. They released a new treaty.
From then on, dark sorcerers didnât need to hide anymore.
...
The fairy forest...
The leaves of the tree of life fluttered in the wind. Sunlight shone through the spaces between the leaves and form patterns on the ground.
Ming Shu sat under the tree of life. A few fairies flew around her.
She looked toward the top of the tree. The leaves blocked her view so she couldnât see anything.
I wonder how long I have to wait.
Ming Shu took a bite of the fruit the fairies gave her. She counted the number of white spots on the ground.
A commotion arose outside. Ming Shu looked at the fairy beside her. âWhy is it so noisy?â
âYuan Fei is getting punished today. He is a bad person. He almost killed the fairy race,â the little fairy replied.
âMiss Jun Shang, would you like to take a look?â
Ming Shu stood up. âLetâs go.â
The fairies clustered around her and led her out.
Yuan Fei was lying on an empty field some distance away from the tree of life. He was tied up. He seemed to have given up hope after being locked up for so long.
The elder stood in front of him majestically.
âYuan Fei, do you know your mistake?â
âWhat did I do wrong?â Yuan Fei looked down and asked in a low voice.
âYou betrayed your clansmen. Isnât that wrong?â the elder said sternly.
âIf you all say that Iâm wrong, then Iâm wrong,â Yuan Fei replied in a mocking tone. âWeâre beautiful, but whatâs the use?â
He raised his head. There was a look of dismay in his eyes. They used to be clear and beautiful.
âAny sorcerers outside can kill us easily. They say that weâre the favorite of the God of Light. Bullshit!â
Yuan Fei suddenly cursed.
âIf weâre the favorite of the God of Light, wouldnât he allow us to be as talented as humans?â
The elder frowned. âYuan Fei, this isnât an excuse for you to leak our secret.â
âHahaha...â Yuan Fei laughed loudly.
He was unwilling to accept the fact that he had to rely on someone.
The source of life was able to make humans powerful as well as fairies.
Even in a pure and kindhearted race, there would be people with evil intentions.
Itâs hard to judge a person objectively.
Ming Shu turned and left. She didnât continue watching.
She heard from the fairies that Yuan Fei was sent back to the tree of life. In other words, he was dead.
Fairies like Yuan Fei were rare. Only one might appear every few hundred years.
Hence, the fairies felt angry and sad for many days. The atmosphere among the fairy race was gloomy.
Ming Shu could tell that there were fewer fairies giving her food.
Occasionally, she would go back and take a look at the dark sorcerers in the Dark Sanctuary. Time flew. In the blink of an eye, one year had passed.
âMiss Jun Shang, Miss Jun Shang, the elder asks you to go to the flower palace.â
A little fairy flew over and spoke to Ming Shu softly.
âWhy? Is he offering me food?â
âThe elder didnât say anything,â the little fairy replied obediently.
Ming Shu didnât want to move. However, the fairy kept urging her nicely so she got up and walked toward the palace.
The fairy didnât follow her.
Halfway through, Ming Shu turned back.
The tree of life looked the same as before. Ming Shu walked onto the platform. There were some fruits lying on the ground. Some fairies gave these fruits to her.
She walked up slowly and picked the fruits up.
Bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.
Ming Shu looked over. The water was always calm. Why were there bubbles suddenly?
She leaned over and looked into the water.
A pair of golden eyes entered her vision.
Ming Shu was stunned for a moment.
The two of them stared at each other in silence.
A few more bubbles appeared. The young man couldnât hold his breath any longer. He emerged from the water.
Water splashed onto Ming Shu.
The young man was naked. His skin was fair with a tinge of pink. His lips were enticing and his gaze was pure and innocent.
He grabbed the side of the pool with his hands and panted. His long golden hair covered his body and prevented some areas from being seen.
âYou...â He glared at Ming Shu and asked angrily, âDidnât you leave?â
Ming Shu wiped the water off his face. She didnât reply to him. Instead, she said, âWhat are you doing? Are you trying to drown yourself?â
The young man leaned close to the edge of the pool to cover his body. He blushed and explained, âWhen a fairy is born, he will drop into the water first.â
He purposely asked the elder to call her away.
âI thought youâd lose your memory.â
This wasnât how novels normally went.
â...â Lian Sui didnât understand her. Why did he need to lose his memory?
âCome up.â Ming Shu stretched her hand out.
âIâm... not wearing any clothes,â the young man whispered.
âWhich part of your body have I not seen?â Ming Shu laughed. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him out easily.
Lian Sui fell into Ming Shuâs arms. His golden hair wrapped around his body.
A familiar sweet fragrance could be smelled.
A magic spell was performed and his body turned dry.
Ming Shu covered him with her black cloak. Lian Sui couldnât stand properly. He leaned his weight on her.
Ming Shu picked him up. He was as light as a child.
Lian Sui grabbed her neck naturally.
Ming Shu walked out of the fairy forest. There was a magic transportation array outside the forest. Once she stepped on it, she would reach the Dark Sanctuary.
The moment she stepped on it, the elder ran toward them with a bunch of fairies.
âMiss Jun Shang, wait. His Highness...â
The elderâs voice was blocked by the array.
Lian Sui felt something flashing across his eyes. He had arrived in the corridor of the Dark Sanctuary.
Ming Shu placed him carefully on the soft bed. Lian Sui continued hugging Ming Shu. âDid you miss me?â
His gaze was very bright. His lips were pink and watery.
âI did.â Ming Shu used her kiss to convey her love.
Lian Sui moaned and pushed her away weakly. âI... canât.â
âWhatâs the problem?â
â... My body is too weak. Iâm very tired,â Lian Sui replied.
Ming Shu remembered that he was just reborn. She pecked him on his cheek and pulled the black cloak away. Then, she stuffed him under the blanket. âHave some rest.â
Lian Sui seemed really tired. Before Ming Shu laid the blanket over him, he was already asleep.
