Zhu Yuxian fell asleep leaning on Lu Chengfeng's shoulder. Even though ahead lay a bottomless abyss, and the night wind was biting cold, she seemed oblivious, exhaustedly drifting into slumber.

Lu Chengfeng wrapped his arm around her waist, letting her cling tightly to him, feeling this woman's fragility and fatigue.

He knew that Zhu Yuxian hadn't fallen for him; she was just too tired. Having walked to this point, forced by circumstances to become a wife, she was overwhelmed and thus spoke of many past events she had been unwilling to mention.

If she ever truly had feelings for someone, it would be Xun Shuijing.

Despite being unclear about many past events, Lu Chengfeng was certain that after leaving Youdu, Zhu Yuxian was taken with by the outstanding Young Sect Leader Xun Shuijing.

This gifted prodigy cherished her like a treasure, even creating the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Scripture to pave Zhu Yuxian's path in practicing the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword.

The death of Xun Shuijing was shrouded in mystery, but Zhu Yuxian's guilt toward him and her protection of the Yuncang Sword Sect indicate an inseparable link.

The past is gone, and Lu Chengfeng never thought of replacing Xun Shuijing's place in Zhu Yuxian's heart. He didn't possess much lust or desire either, only a bit more pity.

The world is in turmoil, merely relying on each other.

Unbeknownst to them, dawn had arrived. As day and night alternated, a streak of pale purple twilight appeared on the horizon, adding a misty celestial aura to the snow-covered mountain peak.

Zhu Yuxian, at some point, had awoken yet remained still, quietly leaning against Lu Chengfeng, watching the clouds on the horizon, seeing the sun gradually rise from the east, illuminating the world.

"Weren't you wanting to obtain the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual?" Zhu Yuxian gazed at the horizon, while Lu Chengfeng was looking at her profile, flawless as jade, poetic and picturesque, making one entranced.

"Yes!" Zhu Yuxian responded lightly, without past obsession, with more ease and calm.

"Then close your eyes!" Lu Chengfeng softly said, looking at her.

Zhu Yuxian slightly tilted her body, lifted her pretty face, meeting Lu Chengfeng's gaze. Feeling inexplicably flustered, she instinctively closed her eyes.

Lu Chengfeng gazed at her perfect, flawless beauty, mesmerizing and stirring.

He admired her for a long time, seemingly lost in it, sighing inadvertently before leaning down to kiss her tender lips.

Zhu Yuxian was completely frozen, wanting to punch him, but she was utterly soft, unable to muster any strength, especially resisting the feeling at her lips and teeth. An unusual sensation surged through her whole body, making her heart and body melt.

There was an uncontrollable itch, scratching at her heart, wishing he would be more intense, delve deeper, to alleviate that unbearable feeling.

Her mind felt dizzy, though her inner strength was profound, she felt as if she couldn't breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly sensed a flicker of multicolored light in her mind, with countless Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword intricacies surfacing in her consciousness.

The Five Elements are the root of heaven and earth, the transformation of yin and yang, the mother of all things.

The Five Elements cycle, giving birth to creation, nurturing all things; the collapse of the Five Elements, the universe extinguishes!

Thus, the sequence and reversal of the Five Elements generate the law of annihilation...

From the general outline, this Immortal Scripture began imprinting upon her consciousness, like an unfolding ink-painted scroll, ceasing only after a long time.

Zhu Yuxian was deeply immersed in the profound meanings of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, completely losing herself, unwilling to concern herself with external matters.

Lu Chengfeng separated from her lips and teeth, watching the stunning woman in his arms immersed in the mystical scripture, as if in a deep sleep, couldn't help but laugh softly.

"You trust me so much, huh? Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of this opportunity to have my way with you? Truly a troublesome woman."

The longer he spent with her, the more he noticed Zhu Yuxian's pure nature, clear distinction between love and hate, stubborn personality, deep obsession; she suppressed all emotions, pain, and fatigue with her Immortal Will, presenting to everyone a childlike and innocent girl.

It wasn't until last night that she revealed a hint of her true nature.

...

When Zhu Yuxian awoke, Lu Chengfeng had already left. The ice and snow-covered cliff top was empty, giving her an inexplicable feeling of loneliness.

She shook her head to clear this thought, revealing a radiant smile on her face, "With the Immortal Scripture in hand, the Immortal Path is hopeful!"

Yet suddenly, she recalled that she was now someone else's wife, and immediately felt a strange sensation in her heart, one that she couldn't even articulate.

Originally, with Xun Shuijing, she had always seen it as a transaction, though Xun Shuijing didn't think so…

But now she clearly knew she was married to Lu Chengfeng, not as a transaction, but witnessed by heaven and earth, with the sun and moon as their matchmakers, they privately sealed their bond for life.

That man, knowing she wanted to leave, insisted on marrying her, weaving this tie into her heart.

Especially just now… he actually… unexpectedly kissed her directly.

Zhu Yuxian couldn't help but snort, murmuring softly, "He's really a bad egg!"

...

On June 28th, heroes from all directions gathered, with several elders of the Celestial Patrol Department present.
