অনি the count of reincarnations passed, She Qing returned to the cave where he had once met Shi Yan.

It still retained the same layout and appearance.

He had learned the Water Spirit Art and planted the entire cave full of spiritual plants. He would stay on the platform in the center of the cave.

On every sleepless night, he would make clothes for Yan Yan. After he had made enough clothes to fill the entire cave,

he would wonder again whether Yan Yan had grown fatter or thinner, and if she would still be able to wear the clothes he made.

As he thought about this, he touched the top of his head. His hair seemed to be getting scarcer; would Yan Yan despise him if she saw this?

She Qing smiled broadly, as if he could see the look of disdain on Yan Yan's face.

Smiling, a tear fell with a plop. He curled up into a ball, holding Shi Yan's clothes, and whispered softly.

"Yan Yan, I went to see the sea you talked about. Catching fish is a lot of fun, and the beasts in the water are so silly and stupid..."

"Yan Yan, do you know what? The smelly fish in the ocean actually tried to seduce me with their singing, but I saw right through it at a glance.

I didn't kill her. In her song, I saw you, hehe!

But later her voice became hoarse and she couldn't make a sound anymore, so I couldn't see you anymore..."

"Yan Yan, mermaids don't look good, they are so ugly, not even as pretty as a single finger of yours. Later we will go see them together!"

"Yan Yan, there is no Dragon Palace on the seabed, I've checked..."

"Yan Yan, I saw elves on another continent. They look really strange, with small transparent wings."

"Yan Yan, your feathers don't glow anymore. What should I do? I miss you so much..."

...

In the dim cave, She Qing hugged Shi Yan's dress and curled up in the center of the spirit plant cave.

His eyes were tightly closed, his brows slightly furrowed, and behind his ears were two ice-blue stars, the symbol of a two-star beast.

Suddenly, the white feather pressed tightly against his heart turned into a glimmer of light and drifted into She Qing's mind.

She Qing's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, and the corners of his lips curved upward slightly, seemingly having a pleasant dream.

In a dark space, She Qing pushed open the tall, giant stone door.

A glowing feather drifted from afar, circled She Qing a few times, and then floated inside the door.

She Qing wagged his tail and quickly followed, passing all the way through the stone statue of the goddess wearing a crown of thorns, until She Qing saw the person on the high platform.

He rushed over fiercely, stopped in front of Shi Yan, and angrily tore at the chains piercing Shi Yan's wings.

His Yan Yan was locked here. He anxiously smashed against the chains, and a booming sound echoed through the dark hall.

Shi Yan covered her ears, who was that!

So noisy! Disturbing someone's sweet dream, is there any public morality left!

She opened her eyes, looked up at the source of the sound, and above the chains descending from the sky, a winged snake beast was smashing the chains!

She Qing!

I've finally waited for you!

"Brother! Look down!" Shi Yan hurriedly spoke.

She Qing's figure paused for a moment, and the next instant he appeared in front of Shi Yan, taking out medicinal pills from his scales.

"Yan Yan, eat."

Shi Yan looked at the medicinal pill, reached out and pinched it, "It's expired!"

She Qing said nothing, he didn't know!

Shi Yan returned the pill to She Qing, and She Qing took it back and put it under his scales.

"Let's talk about business." Shi Yan looked at She Qing.

She Qing nodded, his voice a bit hoarse, "Okay!"

"Well, don't cry yet." Shi Yan wiped the tears from the corners of She Qing's eyes before speaking.

"I have a plan. Based on my guesses for so long, I should be able to leave this place."

She Qing's gaze turned to the chains piercing Shi Yan's scales, "How do we get rid of this?"

"Ignore it, it doesn't hurt if we don't move," Shi Yan waved her hand casually.

"Through my research on the murals on the walls of this palace all these years, the only way to leave alive is to become the master of this palace, which is a deity."

"We do this and that... that and this... like this and like that..."

Shi Yan described it with dancing hands and feet, and suddenly fell into a cold embrace.

"Okay, I'll listen to Yan Yan in everything." She Qing hugged Shi Yan, feeling the long-lost embrace.

"Hehe!" Shi Yan hugged She Qing and turned her head to kiss him.

"I forgot to ask, how much time has passed in the outside world?"

She Qing sniffed Shi Yan's scent, "Twenty reincarnations."

"Quite a long time," Shi Yan muttered softly.

"Yeah, a long time." She Qing looked up at Shi Yan, leaned down and captured Shi Yan's lips, kissing and crying at the same time.

Shi Yan: ...

Well... quite sudden.

She gently patted She Qing's back, her comforting words blocked in her mouth, unable to make a single syllable.

After a long while, She Qing let go of Shi Yan, "I will succeed, I definitely will."

"Keep it up!" Shi Yan gave encouragement. Actually, she herself didn't know if she could succeed, but at least there was a hope.

The worst result would just be the destruction of her physical body and scattering of her soul.

Well, it was still quite frightening, Shi Yan added silently in her heart.

As for what would happen to the big silly snake after her death, she didn't know; anyway, she didn't want to be imprisoned again.

It was a miracle of miracles that she hadn't lost her mind after being locked up for so long.

She Qing left. In the empty divine hall, only Shi Yan was left alone.

The ice-blue strange fire danced in her palm, igniting the hem of her skirt, burning her wings, and scorching Shi Yan's skin inch by inch.

A piercing, mournful cry echoed through the dark, empty hall, like a fierce ghost crawling out of the abyss, ready to tear out the throat of any witness the next instant.

In the cave, She Qing opened his eyes. His golden vertical pupils were frighteningly bright, and every part of him, from the tips of his hair to the tip of his tail, exuded happiness.

He had found Yan Yan! He had found her!

She Qing hugged Shi Yan's clothes, closed his eyes tightly, and quietly waited for Yan Yan's summons.

Yan Yan had said that when they met again, she might forget him, but not to be afraid; just use brute force to suppress her at that time, and after a while, she would remember.

One day, two days...

From sunrise to sunset, from day to night, She Qing just waited quietly like that.

The sun rose again, and sunlight spilled into the cave.

Suddenly, She Qing's golden vertical pupils lit up sharply. He dashed out of the cave and flew across the forest.

On a tall tree ahead, he saw the person he had been yearning for, looking just like when they first met.

Back then, Shi Yan was also wearing a light green dress, standing at the top of the tree with a cold expression, and when she saw him transform into a half-beast form, her eyes were filled with respect.

At first, he didn't understand her gaze, but later he learned that she wasn't from this continent and thought he was a super powerhouse, which was why she was so respectful.

Recalling those two days of time, She Qing smiled brightly; his Yan Yan was obedient and cute.

She Qing smiled and met Shi Yan's indifferent gaze. This was his Yan Yan!

Yan Yan had said that everything might start over, but it was limited only to the two of them.

On the tall tree crown, Shi Yan looked alertly at the giant ice-blue python ahead.

A monster!

Seeing the upper body of that monster turn into human form, Shi Yan's gaze flickered.

Quite good-looking.

But! Even if good-looking, it must die!
