In the blink of an eye, that graceful figure had already flown close.
She wore a silver-white palace gown, wisps of white radiance winding around her like ribbons.
Her beauty was such that even the bright moon in the sky seemed to pale beside her.
Her star-and-moon-like eyes gleamed with brilliant light.
Her bearing was ethereal and elusive, like a fairy maiden from the Moon Palace descending into the mortal world.
It was none other than the Divine Maiden, Zhu Lingyun.
Having once suffered under the Tianli God Sealing Curse, she had finally been reborn through fire.
Ning Fa stared at her closely, his eyes filled with excitement. A thousand words surged in his heart, yet for a moment, he did not know what to say.
Le'er, in his arms, looked back and forth between them with her big eyes before suddenly shouting, "Father, Mother, what is wrong with you? Don't you recognize each other?"
As though reminded, Ning Fa looked at Zhu Lingyun and said in a deep voice, "Ling Yun, you're finally awake."
That intimate form of address made Zhu Lingyun's delicate brows furrow slightly, but she still nodded gently. "I must thank you for risking your life to go to Tianli, finding the Thousand Soul Grass, and refining that Soul-Bending Pill for me. Otherwise, Le'er and I might not have lasted until we awoke."
As she spoke, a complicated look could not help appearing in Zhu Lingyun's beautiful eyes.
Ning Fa shook his head. "You are my Dao Companion, and Le'er is our daughter. It was only right for me to do this. There is no need to be so distant."
Zhu Lingyun's brows furrowed again. Then she sighed softly. "What happened between us was merely a coincidence. Do not mention becoming Dao Companions again."
