Qin Zhen's consciousness was in a trance for a moment.

The calamity clouds gradually faded away, and the barrier that was about to break was already dyed the deep blue of the sea.

Qin Zhen looked at it, not knowing what she was thinking of. Her loosened state of mind finally broke through at this moment. She actually jumped directly to the ninth level of Qi Refining. She was only one step away from building the foundation.

The improvement of her realm allowed her body to be tempered again, and the spiritual energy brought by the thunder rushed into her body.

Her complexion became more and more rosy, and in just a moment, her whole person looked refreshed, as if she was reborn.

"big sister?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan, who had just woken up, appeared beside the altar without anyone noticing.

Qin Zhenyou suddenly didn't dare to look Xiaoyan in the eye, so she could only lower her head and say, "Yeah."

"Lord Lian... aren't you going home with me?"

Qin Zhen opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them because she found that words were so pale and powerless.

"It's better to go. It's okay. I can wait for Lady Lian once, and I can definitely wait for her a second time." As if not wanting to embarrass Qin Zhen, Xiao Yan forced a smile stiffly.

But she won't come back.

No matter how long he waited, she would never come back.

Qin Zhen slowly squatted down and looked into Xiao Yan's eyes: "Xiao Yan, Lady Lian didn't leave. She really wanted to go home with you, but she... walked out of time and turned into stars, breeze, and heavy rain."

The barrier that sealed the secret realm shattered bit by bit, and deep blue water fell from the sky, transformed into heavy rain by Qin Zhen's spiritual power.

The rain fell, mixed with the resurrection technique cast by Qin Zhen, awakening all the souls wandering in the secret realm.

The repetitive cycle of the day was finally broken, and those numb souls all knelt down on the ground the moment they saw the rain.

"It's raining! It's raining hard!"

"Thank you, Master Lian, and thank you, Xiao Yan!"

The gratitude in their tones was completely false, and even though they were all killed by Fairy Li Yun, they did not regret it at all.

They still purely believe that the ancient sacrifice can bring them everything they want, and they still believe that Fairy Li Yun is a god who is high above and saves people from suffering.

After seeing the heavy rain, everyone felt satisfied and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth, going to where their souls should go.

Qin Zhen felt a little sad and ironic when she heard their voices.

They were born in the wilderness, and all they do throughout their lives is pray for rain. They are cruel yet pure.

"She asked me to tell you that she can't go home with you."

Xiao Yan said nothing when he heard this, but just stared blankly at the rain.

He remembered that it was also a heavy rain like this that took away Lord Lian last time.

Everyone in the village longed for heavy rain, but he hated it so much.

Qin Zhen stopped talking and just continued to watch the belated heavy rain with him.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan opened his arms, as if embracing the rain.

He obviously hated rain, but, but...if this rain was a response from Lady Lian, then he was willing to like it again.

He tilted his head back. Qin Zhen couldn't tell if he was crying quietly, but she saw his red eyes.

He probably knew that Fairy Li Yun was no longer around.

The raindrops fell into his palm and then fell through the gaps between his fingertips.

It was as if he was saying goodbye to him.

"Master Lian, is that you?"

Xiao Yan asked softly.

The only response he got was the sound of the rain.

"big sister."

"Ah."

"I can't wait any longer."

Qin Zhen never expected to hear such words. She was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"I won't wait any longer, Master Lian."

"...Okay." Qin Zhen heard her own voice sound bitter and dull.

This long story ends here.

But the next second, she saw Xiao Yan suddenly turned around with a smile and said in the most determined tone: "I want to chase Master Lian!"

Qin Zhen: “!!!”

"If she walks out of time, then I will go to the end of time. If she turns into stars, breeze, and rain, then I will chase the stars, the wind, and the rain!"

"Anyway, everyone in the village is gone, so I am free. I am going to do what I have always wanted to do but have not been able to do. This time I will go after her!"

The little boy spoke the secret hidden deep in his heart.

He really wanted to go see the outside world with Lady Lian.

So, he wanted to find her and watch the stars, the wind and the sea with her.

"What if you can never catch up with her?" Qin Zhen's voice was a little hoarse, as if she couldn't bear to say such cruel words.

Xiao Yan didn't seem sad when he heard this, instead he answered very seriously: "The time I spent chasing her was also special for me."

Qin Zhen's nose felt a little sour, but a sincere smile bloomed on her face: "Then I wish you a safe journey."

Almost at the moment when Qin Zhen finished speaking, she felt the ashes of the shattered cauldron in her Qiankun Ring tremble slightly.

Qin Zhen opened the Qiankun Ring.

The bag of ashes automatically fell into Xiao Yan's arms.

Xiao Yan was stunned when he saw this, and then as if he sensed something, he hugged the pocket tightly.

In a trance, Qin Zhen seemed to see a slender figure appear beside Xiao Yan, but when she looked more closely, there was nothing.

It was all just her illusion.

"Big sister, I'm leaving.

"it is good."

"Can you accept this gift?" Xiao Yan picked up the straw basket that Fairy Li Yun had solemnly placed aside, and handed the spatula inside to Qin Zhen.

"But isn't this the gift you gave to Master Lian?"

"Well, that's why I hope you'll accept it. Because the village chief once told me that as long as someone thinks of him or her, he or she is not dead. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that no one will remember Master Lian. So, when you use it, can you think of Master Lian?"

Qin Zhen nodded, and nodded again heavily: "I will miss her, and you too."

Xiao Yan smiled when he heard this: "Goodbye, big sister."

"Goodbye."

Xiao Yan hung the bag around his waist and gradually disappeared from Qin Zhen's sight.

Almost at the moment Xiao Yan disappeared, the secret realm collapsed even faster.

"Little junior sister!"

At this moment, Jingxing's anxious voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Qin Zhen turned around, and before she even had time to see Jing Xing's appearance clearly, Jing Xing grabbed her and pulled her onto the flying sword, heading straight for the entrance to the secret realm.

At the same time as they passed through the entrance to the secret realm, the secret realm behind them completely collapsed and was pressed into the deeper seabed by the sea water, causing waves in the sea water, causing all the fish and shrimp to flee.
