"Do not waste your spiritual power on me anymore. I have already severed my immortal roots. I will never allow myself to become a demon. I shall soon head to the mortal realm to be reincarnated and reunite with Fairy Mudan. This time, I will certainly refuse to drink the soup from Meng Po, and I will search the mortal world for her!"
Leng Qingqiu stood to the side, weeping silently. "You are truly a man of deep devotion. Fairy Mudan was lucky to have met you! It is all my fault for causing your misfortune."
