To theiven them spiritual Dans that could elevate one’s speed of development as a cultivator, but a second chance at life
How could they not cry out of joy?
Seeing that the villagers had sunk back into jubilation, Ling Xian signaled again for them to quiet down He smiled and continued, ”Ok, let’s put these spiritual Dans away I’ll check on Su Zi now We’ll catch up later”

”I know When you revealed your foundational powers, I knew you’d be leaving us very soon” Su Zi felt her heart ache, but went on and feigned disinterest She let out a bright smile, albeit with difficulty, and continued, ”That’s for the best Your world is the outside world That world will allow you to expand your wings and conquer the nine Heavens”

”You said it, not me”
Su Zi stood slowly, then, with a speed that exceeded lightning, she bent over Before Ling Xian could react, he saw her lips approach and felt a deep, fervent kiss planted on his cheek His eyes remained wide open the entire time As her face pulled away, she turned to leave without a backward glance
Two fresh streams of tears rained down her cheeks
Unfortunately, Ling Xian had been completed stunned and would not see her cry
