Zhuo Qingtan struggled to prop up his body, supported the bamboo table with both hands, and stood up.

With a smile on her lips, she gently closed her eyes and raised her head. The warm autumn sun shone on her face, as if it had once again given her a layer of divine light.

Xie Yuci was slightly dazed for a moment.

——At that moment, Zhuo Qingtan looked very much like Taiyin Youying back then.

Taiyin Youying is obviously a holy spirit who was transformed from the innate Zhiyin Qi and Taiyin essence in Liangyi when chaos first emerged in ancient times, but she makes people feel very warm and comfortable when getting along with her.

What's even more bizarre is that the Holy God Emperor Sun Candlelight is the Holy God who was transformed into the Absolute Yang Qi and the Essence of the Sun in the two rituals. Later, a ray of his divine power was transformed into the Essence of the Sun.

However, Taiyang Zhuzhao's personality is extremely serious and cold, unsmiling, without warmth, and full of majesty.

These two former Supreme Beings of the Nine Heavens and the Three Realms were completely different in their temperament and true form.

After a moment, Zhuo Qingtan looked down at him with a chuckle.

"Because I suddenly realized that if I always look like this and cannot repair my spiritual veins that were burned and damaged by the earth's core fire in this life, then I will always be just a 'waste' who cannot use spiritual power."

Xie Yuci frowned thoughtfully and stared at her calmly.

"Duanxu Palace shoulders the important task of leading hundreds of immortal families to jointly slay demons and protect the peace and happiness of the mortal people. The past palace masters of Duanxu Palace are all talented, and their immortal magic and Taoism are among the best among hundreds of immortal families.

A leading figure. And a useless person

It is impossible for a human being to always occupy the position of the next palace master of Duanxu Palace, the first of the four great immortal sects in the world. Therefore, even if my master loves me more than me, he will still have to consider the future of Duanxu Palace.

He is to be feared by the people of hundreds of schools of immortality."

She suddenly smiled: "If I become useless from now on, I will not be able to remain the master of Duanxu Palace, nor will I be the future master of Duanxu Palace, nor will I be the future leader of hundreds of immortal families.

From now on, it’s not bad to be free and just be yourself, isn’t it?”

Zhuo Qingtan's eyes were gentle and clear.

"So, you see, I started to have my own selfish motives.

I have indeed moved my heart and emotions, and I no longer want to be that 'merciless sword' that only serves the world, and my heart is like a cold pool."

Xie Yuci was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and smiled.

"Can this be considered selfish?"

He didn't know whether this was a mocking smile or a hateful smile.

"Isn't your so-called 'selfishness' based on the premise that your spiritual veins will never recover? What does this mean?"

Xie Yuci asked and answered coldly: "This means that by then you will have been abandoned by the righteous path of immortality that you trust because you have no ability to cultivate immortality and defend the way.

So what is the freedom of selfishness? What is selfishness and being yourself? You are forced to be yourself from now on. Are you ashamed of the responsibilities you have shouldered? If that day comes, they will abandon you and let you down.

."

Zhuo Qingtan showed no resentment, she smiled and said: "You are wrong to think so. Different positions require different people to do them, which is the most valuable and meaningful.

If I really become a useless person who can no longer use any spiritual power and can no longer practice cultivation, then if I sit in the position of the future palace master of Duanxu Palace, I will be harming the safety of the mortal world."

She thought for a while, then suddenly chuckled and corrected her previous statement.

"It's not right for me to say that. If my spiritual veins still don't get better, it's not that I can't break the seal and use my spiritual power. It's just that if I untie or break the seal by then, although my spiritual power can be normal, my spiritual veins will be affected by the earth's core.

The scars burned by fire will also be constantly impacted by the spiritual power flowing in the body, and sooner or later they will burst completely.

Therefore, between the two options of being a mediocre person with a long life, and being a proud son of the emperor with a short life, my master temporarily chose the former for me."

Xie Yuci was silent for a moment, then suddenly said in a deep voice: "You will be fine."

Zhuo Qingtan looked at him with a smile and asked, "Really?"

He nodded, his eyes as calm as water: "Yes."

Zhuo Qingtan sighed softly and said: "But, have you forgotten? As I said before, I don't hope that I will get better one day. I think the way I am now is good, really good."

It's good that they are as they are.

Xie Yuci frowned at her and said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense."

She really drank too much.

Next time he won't let her drink like this, Qingtian Bairi will start talking nonsense.

When Zhuo Qingtan heard what he said, he raised his sleeves and covered his lips with a "Puch" sound and smiled.

"Words like 'Don't talk nonsense' sound so familiar. It seems like I was the one talking about you before, right?"

She suddenly put away the smile on her face, looked at Xie Yuci's slightly frowning eyebrows very seriously, and asked slowly:

"But, Xie Yuci, I am not talking nonsense, I am serious. As for Luofu clamoring to find some Penglai or some fairy grass, in fact, everything will be fine as it comes. Even if I have always been like this, there is nothing wrong with it.

"

Xie Yuci frowned and looked at her, and snorted coldly: "Nothing wrong? Are you really planning to be a sickly mortal who will get cold and fever even if you are exposed to wind and sun occasionally?"

"What does that matter?"

Zhuo Qingtan smiled lightly. She suddenly took a step forward, approached Xie Yuci, looked into his eyes very seriously, and then suddenly asked him softly:

"Thank you. If I stay like this forever and will never get better again, are you willing to accompany me to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and no human habitation to spend the rest of my life?"

Xie Yuci paused suddenly.

He looked at Zhuo Qingtan in surprise, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

The warm sunlight slowly shone on the bodies of the two people.

And the shadows of the two of them slowly overlapped each other due to the angle, as if they were leaning on each other.

It took a while before Xie Yuci regained his collapsed consciousness.

He looked at Zhuo Qingtan's drunken and watery eyebrows and said slowly: "Zhuo Qingtan, you are drunk and you have no idea what you are talking about."

Zhuo Qingtan turned her head to look at him, and laughed softly a few times.

"I'm drunk, but I know what I'm talking about. I just ask you, thank you, are you willing?"

Are you willing to temporarily give up the search for the part of the divine body in the Pluto Valley secret realm and the Taixu secret realm, and spend the rest of your life with her?

It won't take long, maybe twenty years at most.

Before she reaches the end of her life, she will definitely unlock the barrier of the secret realm in a true sense, and return to him a supreme divine body that is pure, true, and good, as well as the pure and pure divine power of chaos.
