The places where the white light first appeared were all on the ground, rising slowly from the earth and eventually floating into the air.
When those white lights gathered into a circle, numerous Red Lights suddenly appeared on the ground, and like the white lights, these red lights also began to float slowly into the air.
However, upon reaching the air, they did not linger like the white lights; instead, they surged directly toward the circle formed by the white lights and merged with them.
At first, Luo Bingbing and the others did not pay attention to this strange phenomenon, as they were immersed in the sorrow of losing the Snow Spirit Elder.
It was only after the flames disappeared and a Pink Pearl appeared in mid-air, emitting dazzling brilliance, that they noticed the lights had already coalesced together.
Seeing the pearl, both Luo Bingbing and Xuan Ye couldn't help but feel puzzled. Just as they were silently wondering, the Pink Pearl suddenly flew toward Luo Bingbing.
After hovering above her head, it kept circling around her. Seeing it spinning above her, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but reach out her hand.
Then, something strange happened. The moment she extended her hand, the pearl immediately stopped its circling and descended straight into her palm.
As soon as it landed in her hand, the light surrounding the pearl vanished instantly.
It looked just like an ordinary pearl, but Luo Bingbing could feel that this pearl was very warm, and that warmth reached deep into her heart.
"Master, this is the Love Pearl, formed by the purest love and the most selfless affection combined."
Suddenly hearing this unfamiliar voice, Luo Bingbing turned to look for its source and saw that it came from the Crimson Phoenix.
This surprised Luo Bingbing; not only her but even Xuan Ye and the Snow Spirit Fox were equally astonished.
Soon after, the Snow Spirit Fox immediately asked, "Phoenix, when will you be able to speak human language?"
Upon hearing this, the Phoenix quickly replied, "Hehe! Little Snow, I could always speak human language; it was just that I was suppressed by the Demon King's pressure, so my abilities couldn't fully recover. Now that the Demon King is gone, his pressure is naturally gone as well..."
Before it could finish speaking, Luo Bingbing suddenly interjected, "So now your full strength has recovered, and you can speak, right?"
"Yes, Master," the Phoenix responded happily.
After nodding slightly, Luo Bingbing continued to ask, "You just said that the pearl in my hand is the Love Pearl, formed from the purest love and the most selfless familial affection. What does that mean?"
"Master, do you remember what the Demon King said about that event millions of years ago?"
Luo Bingbing nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I remember. What about it?"
"The purest love comes from him; he has always deeply loved you from millions of years ago. Even when sealed underground, his love has not diminished at all. The most selfless familial affection comes from the Snow Spirit Elder; he was your master millions of years ago. After you entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he also jumped into the cycle. In every lifetime, he would find you again and continue to protect you."
As soon as the Phoenix finished speaking, Xuan Ye shook his head and sighed, "Fateful entanglement! Fateful entanglement! The ways of heaven cannot be defied!"
Hearing this, Luo Bingbing immediately asked, "Master, did you already know that today’s events would happen?"
Shaking his head slightly, Xuan Ye slowly replied, "Not at all! I only foresaw that our Spirit Mountain would face a great calamity and that you would be the one to resolve it. However, your fate is intertwined with that of the Snow Spirit brother; thus, if you two were to meet today, one of you would face a great calamity."
"So you were trying to persuade me to leave all along?"
Upon hearing her words, Xuan Ye remained silent but simply nodded lightly in response.
Looking at the Spirit Orb in her hand, Luo Bingbing seemed to see the Snow Spirit Elder, and tears silently flowed down her cheeks once again.
Xuan Ye already felt quite distressed, and seeing Luo Bingbing in tears made him feel even worse. Previously, the Snow Spirit Elder had told him that many Spirit Mountain Disciples were waiting for news at the entrance of the forbidden area, so he immediately buried his own sorrow deep within.
He slowly walked up to Luo Bingbing and said, "Bing'er, you must take good care of this orb."
"Master, don't worry! Seeing this orb makes me feel like I can see Second Master. Even if you don't say anything, I will take good care of it."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, Xuan Ye said to her, "Bing'er, that's one reason. The other reason is that this orb will assist you at some point in the future, but I cannot predict when exactly that will be. So, you must keep this orb with you at all times."
"I understand, Master. I will definitely remember your teachings."
"Mm." After a calm response, they departed from the Bottom of the Cliff on a phoenix and headed directly to the main courtyard of Ling Mountain.
The Spirit Mountain Disciples who had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the forbidden area immediately recognized that their sect leader had emerged upon seeing the phoenix in the sky.
They quickly followed the phoenix's figure back to the main courtyard of Ling Mountain.
However, just before they returned to the courtyard, Luo Bingbing rang the emergency assembly bell. Hearing the bell, they ran even faster.
Those Spirit Mountain Disciples who had not gone to the entrance of the forbidden area also rushed toward the assembly courtyard upon hearing the bell.
Once all the Disciples of Ling Mountain arrived at the courtyard, Luo Bingbing informed them that Snow Spirit Elder had passed away.
Upon hearing this news, they were all taken aback and questioned in confusion, "We saw Snow Spirit Sect Leader this morning; how could he be gone after entering the forbidden area?"
Because the previous leader of Spirit Mountain was the Snow Spirit Elder, and they had become accustomed to calling him the Sect Leader, they continued to refer to the Snow Spirit Elder as the Snow Spirit Sect Leader.
After hearing their questions, Xuan Ye began to explain the events that had transpired, although he skipped over certain details that they should not know.
What he conveyed to everyone was that the death of the Snow Spirit Elder was a divine arrangement, specifically meant to resolve the great calamity facing Spirit Mountain this time.
The Spirit Mountain Disciples believed his words without doubt, so after hearing them, their hearts were filled with sorrow.
After the meeting, Luo Bingbing instructed all the Spirit Mountain Disciples to begin preparing a memorial hall for the Snow Spirit Elder and to make a coffin for him.
On this day, everyone was busy, except for Luo Bingbing and Xuan Ye, who quietly sat in the Snow Spirit Elder's room without saying a word.
It wasn't until some Spirit Mountain Disciples came into the room to tidy up that they finally spoke up, ordering that the room be kept as it was, without moving a single table or chair.
In the evening, Luo Bingbing sent all the Spirit Mountain Disciples off to bed while she remained alone in front of the Snow Spirit Elder's memorial hall, quietly kneeling there.
Memories related to the Snow Spirit Elder continuously surfaced in her mind, and tears flowed endlessly from her eyes.
The front of her clothes became soaked with tears, but she paid no attention as they continued to stream down. She remained immersed in her sorrow over losing the Snow Spirit Elder, unwilling to pull herself away from it.
Although she had often been quite rude to the Snow Spirit Elder—sometimes even intentionally—she knew that this way of interacting made him happier.
She understood that her master, who was like an old child, had a clearer heart than anyone else and was kinder than anyone else.
On the surface, it seemed like she was always bullying the Snow Spirit Elder, but only they knew that this was their way of getting along and also their way of bonding.
That night, she knelt there for the entire night, tears streaming down her face.
Xuan Ye had visited a few times, but he never went inside because he knew that at that moment, Luo Bingbing did not want anyone to disturb her.
Each time, he quietly approached, staying silently outside for a while, and ultimately left with a faint sigh.
The next morning, the disciples of Ling Mountain began to rise one after another. When they arrived at the mourning hall, they saw their leader still kneeling there, her eyes already swollen from crying.
Just as they were about to urge the Little One to get up, they heard her command them to go outside. They had no choice but to obey their leader's order, so they fell silent and retreated outside.
That day, Luo Bingbing continued to kneel in the mourning hall of Snow Spirit Elder for an entire day and night. Even on the third day, she remained there kneeling for another day and night.
During the day, she knelt quietly; when night fell and silence enveloped the surroundings, her tears would flow uncontrollably.
Xuan Ye understood that she did not wish for anyone to disturb her, so he refrained from seeking her out. However, Xuan Ye himself hid in the shadows, grieving alone.
Luo Bingbing knelt in the mourning hall of Snow Spirit Elder for three days and nights, mourning for three days and nights. Meanwhile, in the villa at the foot of Ling Mountain, Dongfang Hao had already awakened. He and Ivyah were constantly worried about the Little One.
Several times, both expressed their desire to go up Ling Mountain to find the Little One but were stopped by An Ruo Ran.
Although An Ruo Ran also wanted to search for the Little One on Ling Mountain, she knew that she needed to fulfill the tasks assigned by the Little One. Therefore, she continued to act according to Luo Bingbing's instructions from when she left.
Three days later, Snow Spirit Elder was "buried." After the Disciples of Ling Mountain departed, only Luo Bingbing and Xuan Ye remained at Snow Spirit Elder's tomb.
"Bing'er," Xuan Ye said gently, "Snow Spirit has already departed. You should adjust your mindset. Life and death are natural laws of this world, and your path ahead is still very long!"
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing immediately nodded and said, "Master, I understand. You need to take care of yourself too!"
Luo Bingbing was well aware that Xuan Ye was also feeling down. He often spent time with Snow Spirit Elder, and now that Snow Spirit Elder was gone, he felt even more lonely, with no one to confide in on Ling Mountain.
Although he appeared to be indifferent and seemed to take it lightly, Luo Bingbing could sense the sorrow and loneliness in his heart.
Therefore, as soon as she heard Xuan Ye comforting her, she quickly put away her sad demeanor and turned to give Xuan Ye a calm smile.
Seeing the smile on her face, Xuan Ye felt happy, even though he knew it was just for him.
Because seeing this side of Luo Bingbing made him realize that this Little One had started to care about the people and things around her, no longer living in sadness like she had been a few days ago.
He nodded lightly and said to Luo Bingbing, "This old body of mine is still holding up! Don't worry! By the way, you should go check on Dongfang Hao and the others; I'm sure they are still worried about you."
"It's fine, Master. I plan to leave after the seventh day of Second Master's passing."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, Xuan Ye immediately replied, "Silly disciple, if you wait until after the seventh day to see them, I think they will come up to Ling Mountain looking for you before that. Besides, don't you have that special ability? I believe the round trip won't take long."
After hearing Xuan Ye's words, Luo Bingbing turned towards Snow Spirit Elder's grave and said, "Second Master, I'll be back shortly."
Then, Luo Bingbing quickly turned around, gave Xuan Ye a light nod, and used her Ability to teleport to the villa at the foot of Ling Mountain.
At that moment, Dongfang Hao and Ivyah were discussing whether or not to storm Ling Mountain. Upon seeing Luo Bingbing suddenly appear before them, they exclaimed in surprise, "Baby!"
"Wife! You're finally back."
They quickly ran in front of Luo Bingbing and examined her from head to toe. Seeing that she was unharmed, the heavy weight in their hearts finally lifted.
"Thank goodness you're not hurt, sweetheart. Do you know? Mommy has been so worried these past few days."
Upon hearing Ivyah's words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think of the Snow Spirit Elder. Instantly, deep sorrow appeared in her eyes, and Dongfang Hao, who had been watching her, immediately noticed the sadness reflected there.
"Doll, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Dongfang Hao asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. You're overthinking it," Luo Bingbing replied. But before she could finish, Dongfang Hao insisted, "Wife, what exactly happened? Just tell me!"
At that moment, Ivyah also spoke up, "Sweetheart, Mommy can sense that something is off with you, and we're not outsiders."
After hearing her mother's words, Luo Bingbing suddenly threw herself into Ivyah's arms and began to cry, choking out, "Wuwu... Mommy, Second Master was killed by the demon king Silver Wolf while trying to save me. His soul was shattered..."
Dongfang Hao's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. "What? The Snow Spirit Master is gone?"
"Your Second Master is the Snow Spirit Elder?" Ivyah raised an eyebrow and continued to ask, "Sweetheart, can you tell Mommy what happened? And who is that demon king Silver Wolf?"
After hearing her mother's questions, Luo Bingbing recounted the events of that day, including what Silver Wolf had said about millions of years ago.
When Dongfang Hao learned that the demon king Silver Wolf had deeply loved Luo Bingbing millions of years ago, his heart tightened. He immediately sat down next to her and quietly took her hand.
If it weren't for Ivyah being there, he would have directly pulled the Little One into his embrace.
After saying a few words, Luo Bingbing felt much lighter in her heart. Just as she was about to leave, An Ruo Ran came to inform them that lunch was ready.
With lunch on the table, Ivyah and Dongfang Hao naturally did not want to let her go, so Luo Bingbing stayed there to have lunch before returning to Ling Mountain.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed, and the seventh day of the Snow Spirit Elder's mourning had also concluded.
Xuan Ye knew that Luo Bingbing was about to leave Ling Mountain, so he informed her that the remaining two Spirit Orbs were located in Wuji Valley and Tianshan.
Hearing about the whereabouts of the two Spirit Orbs took Luo Bingbing by surprise. However, after telling her where they were, Xuan Ye immediately said he needed to enter seclusion for cultivation and swiftly left.
Luo Bingbing didn't need to think hard; she knew he was deliberately avoiding her. Therefore, she did not press him further and directly left Ling Mountain, returning to the villa.
Once back there, Dongfang Hao mentioned that they had rushed out in a hurry and it had been some time; it was time to return to the palace.
However, Luo Bingbing did not want to go back to the Silver Moon Kingdom's palace just yet because she wanted to search for the last two Spirit Orbs in Wuji Valley and Tianshan.
When Luo Bingbing told them she didn't want to return so soon, Dongfang Hao was momentarily stunned, while Ivyah immediately said, "Darling, Nursemaid has been worried about you all along!"
Upon hearing Ivyah's words, Luo Bingbing remembered that she had left without a word. Nursemaid must have known she was missing and would surely be anxious since she hadn't received any news from her for so long.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Bingbing decided it would be best to return to the palace for now and could always go to Wuji Valley and Tianshan in a few days.
Having made up her mind, Luo Bingbing informed them that she was willing to return now.
However, she called An Ruo Ran into her study and instructed her to wait for her at a villa near Wuji Valley.
Because Luo Bingbing did not allow Ivyah and Dongfang Hao to follow, they both had no idea what she and her maid were whispering about in the study.
Naturally, they also did not know about Luo Bingbing's plans to go to Wuji Valley and Tianshan.
Soon after, An Ruo Ran left the villa and went to another villa near Wuji Valley to wait for Luo Bingbing.
When Luo Bingbing saw that An Ruo Ran had already left, she used her Ability to teleport back to the palace of Silver Moon Kingdom with Dongfang Hao and Ivyah.
Upon returning to the palace, Luo Bingbing immediately went to find Nursemaid. The Nursemaid, who had not received any news and was very worried about Luo Bingbing, felt immense joy when she suddenly saw Luo Bingbing appear safe and sound before her.
"Nursemaid, I'm sorry to have worried you," Luo Bingbing said. As soon as her words fell, Nursemaid replied, "Your Highness, where have you been these past few days? Did something happen?"
Gently shaking her head, Luo Bingbing reassured Nursemaid, "Nursemaid, I just went out to take care of some matters; you don't need to worry."
After hearing that she was fine, the heavy weight in Nursemaid's heart was lifted. Subsequently, Luo Bingbing ordered many Gold and Silver Jewelry pieces to be given to Nursemaid as rewards.
As usual, Nursemaid was initially reluctant to accept them, but in the end, she accepted the gifts under the pressure of Luo Bingbing's status as Empress.
Although Luo Bingbing knew that Nursemaid did not lack anything and that she did not like receiving too many gifts from her, every time she thought of their past when they relied on each other for support, she couldn't help but want Nursemaid to live a better life.
In the Chess Pavilion, chrysanthemums bloomed beautifully in a riot of colors.
Luo Bingbing and her daughter sat quietly in the Chess Pavilion admiring the chrysanthemums when suddenly Little One remembered that she needed to find the last two Spirit Orbs.
After waving her hand to dismiss the surrounding palace maids, Luo Bingbing informed Ivyah about her plan to go to Wuji Valley and Tianshan in search of the Spirit Orbs.
Ivyah listened and said she wanted to go along, but was directly rejected by Luo Bingbing. The reason was that Ivyah's current Ability level was not high, and her strength was relatively weak.
Upon hearing her Beloved Daughter say that she would become a burden if she went, Ivyah decided to work harder on her training to reach White Level in a short period of time.
She began her training, which naturally allowed Luo Bingbing to leave earlier.
The next day, she left a letter for Dongfang Hao, preparing to quietly leave the palace using her Ability. However, just as she informed Shadowless that they were going to Wuji Valley, Dongfang Hao suddenly rushed out from the secret passage of the Dragon Throne.
Naturally, Dongfang Hao heard everything she said and strongly insisted on accompanying her.
"I am very familiar with Wuji Valley, and the Demon Palace is also there. So, my dear, please let me go with you."
