The banquet ended.
Li Qi bid farewell to his friends and family, then spent some tender time with Shen Shuibi.
During this time, Shen Shuibi finally set her mind at ease.
The rabbit's personality had scarcely changed at all. Or rather... for lives like theirs, which were nearly immortal, change was something that rarely happened.
In this regard, Li Qi could truly be called mercurial. Yet this aptitude of his... most likely came from his identity as a demon child.
Ever-changing, fickle in temperament.
But for a shut-in like Shen Shuibi, things were entirely different. The rabbit's disposition was exceptionally stable.
After all, personality was ultimately shaped by one's own Dao Path. The Dao Path was the sum of one's worldview, outlook on life, all manner of principles, knowledge, wisdom, and countless other concepts.

That too was a kind of stubbornness,
