“No! It can’t be!” Li Xiaonan was terrified and backed into a corner.
He shook his head in panic. “It’s not that you all have wronged me; it’s that I have wronged you! It’s my fault. I can’t keep hurting you. I simply don’t have the ability to love you. I can’t do it… I can’t do it!”
“Xiao Nan… what’s wrong?” Ling Kui frowned slightly, looking at Li Xiaonan, who had nowhere left to retreat.
Li Xiaonan smiled, tears glistening in his eyes.
If he had been pushed by a group of girls before, he would have laughed it off, but now he was laughing through his tears.
“I thought that if I loved you all with all my might, it would make up for my shortcomings towards you, but in the end, the love you received was still only one-sixth… I can’t give you complete love, just like I only have two hands; I can only hold two people at a time…”
He bitterly looked at his hands and said, “Chen Mo was right. I can’t embrace all six of you at once. It’s my fault. Each of you is so outstanding, so wonderful, yet I don’t deserve to have you all at the same time. Just look at me now; this is the real me! I don’t deserve…”
Luna slowly walked up to Li Xiaonan, her gaze burning as she looked at him. “Xiao Nan, I’m sorry… I know that if it weren’t for that night, if it weren’t for Xiao Bei, I would never have been able to stay by your side. It’s not that you don’t deserve it; it’s that I don’t deserve it…”
Yuan Xian'er also approached Li Xiaonan and said, “I’m just a thief raised by monkeys; I never thought words like outstanding or wonderful had anything to do with me. Whatever I like, I’ll go to any lengths to steal it. If anyone doesn’t deserve it, it’s me…”
Next was Li Baobao, her face slightly flushed as she nervously clutched her clothes. “I’m just an incarnation of celestial grass; I’m not even human. If anyone doesn’t deserve it, then it’s me…”
Yun Moyu restrained her usual arrogance and softly said, “Xiao Nan, are you still mad at me? I didn’t recognize you and said many hurtful things that wounded your heart. If anyone doesn’t deserve it, it’s me…”
Lu Nishang bit her lip and said, “Brother Xiaonan, this is all my fault… I…”
“Enough!” Li Xiaonan interrupted. “Why can’t you all understand?”
" Ling Kui " retorted, "It's you who doesn't understand! When we chose to be with you, we had already made up our minds. You don't need to feel sorry for us; the love we received is complete, just like the different tokens of affection you gave each of us. If it weren't for your love for us, if you hadn't done so much for us, 'Brother Yun' wouldn't have been able to bring us here to find you."
"Li Xiaonan" was taken aback, slowly gazing at the women, feeling both pain and sweetness in her heart.
The pain was the lingering guilt, while the sweetness was the overwhelming love.
"Oh my! There are so many people!" The sudden appearance of "Scheming" broke the delicate atmosphere.
"Ah!" "Yun Moyu" exclaimed, protecting herself as she lifted a bucket and accidentally poured water all over "Scheming."
"Splash!"
"Scheming" instantly became a drenched chicken. He shook his head and muttered, "I've seen worse..."
" Ling Kui " frowned slightly and asked, "Xiao Nan, who exactly is he? Why does he look so much like the original you?"
"This..."
"I'll explain myself. I'm 'Li Xiaonan', but not the one you all like. I used to share a body with him, but somehow we separated," "Scheming" winked at "Li Xiaonan" and smiled.
"Li Xiaonan's" face darkened as she said, "What are you here for?"
"What do you think?" "Scheming" crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe. Without waiting for "Li Xiaonan" to respond, he continued, "Naturally, I'm here to fulfill a promise. Am I here to take a bath instead?"
He cleared his throat and announced, "Congratulations, ladies! You've found the real 'Li Xiaonan'. According to my agreement with this guy, you can take him back to the 'Starry Illusion Continent' now."
"Is that possible?" " Ling Kui " looked at "Li Xiaonan" in surprise.
"Of course, but I hope you give him some time. After all, this guy just found his biological parents; let him say his goodbyes. As for trying to push him down, I advise against it. Otherwise, you'll regret it when you get back. Now, let's all head to our rooms and get some sleep!"
Scheming squeezed through the girls and pulled the still-dazed Li Xiaonan out of the bathroom.
Under the Mulberry Tree in the front yard, Scheming shook his wet hair and said, "Phew... Li Xiaonan, please share your acceptance speech!"
"What acceptance speech?"
"The Best Tragic Male Lead of 2013! I heard everything the girls said just now; you haven't expressed your stance yet."
"I want to go back to the Starry Illusion Continent." Li Xiaonan's voice was soft, and as soon as he spoke, it was scattered by the cool evening breeze.
Scheming raised an eyebrow and asked, "Huh? What did you say?"
"I said! I want to go back to the Starry Illusion Continent!"
"Have you come to terms with your feelings?"
"Yes, when I was holding Ling Kui, I realized it. Before, I was avoiding it because I was reluctant—reluctant to leave everything here, reluctant to part with my new life that had just begun to flourish. But if I cling to that reluctance, nothing will come of it. If I stay here, one day I'll regret it."
Li Xiaonan looked up at the night sky, which resembled that of the Starry Illusion Continent.
Scheming also looked up and smiled. "So do you still feel guilty? With so many girls around, can you love them all?"
Li Xiaonan shook his head. "I was being foolish. The old me could make them happy; the future me can too."
"Phew, congratulations! You've cured your split personality. Ladies, come on out!"
Li Xiaonan stared in astonishment at the girls streaming out of the house, a long-lost smile finally appearing on his face.
“Xiao Nan, your ring.” Ling Kui gently took his hand and slipped the ring onto his Nameless finger.
“Let’s go now!” Li Xiaonan lightly caressed the cool band of the ring.
Scheming was taken aback. “Whoa! Is it really that extreme?”
“I’ve just come to a realization. Saying goodbye won’t change anything. Take good care of Chen Mo and our parents. I have a feeling that once I leave this time, my connection to this world will be completely severed. I might be missing for a long time. Scheming, you’re clever; I’ll leave the task of covering up to you.”
Li Xiaonan spoke calmly, determined to cut ties completely.
Scheming nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
“I had wanted to meet your older brother, but never mind that. Just take care of yourself.”
Ling Kui took out the Jade Talisman given to her by Yun Xinghe and handed it to Li Xiaonan. “Crush it, and we can go back.”
Li Xiaonan nodded, gripping it tightly. A soft white light enveloped everyone, even wrapping around Scheming.
Scheming frowned. “Xiao Nan, I’m sorry.”
“Why do you keep saying sorry? Come on, brother, don’t stop taking your medicine!” Li Xiaonan teased, adjusting his glasses.
Scheming sighed. “The older brother I mentioned is someone you actually know. I believe you’ll meet soon enough. As for everything else, you’ll understand in time. Li Xiaonan, I’ll be waiting for you.”
“What do you mean…” Li Xiaonan began, but before he could finish his sentence, he felt an immense pulling force. In an instant, he was swept into a tunnel filled with blinding white light.
Looking at the empty front yard, he felt his body weaken and leaned against the Mulberry Tree, sitting down on the ground. Supporting his head, which felt like it was about to split open, he muttered, "What a self-inflicted disaster! Sigh... I need to take another fever reducer; otherwise, I'll end up as an idiot!"
He chuckled softly, pushed up his glasses on his nose, and with the support of the tree trunk, he shakily stood up and wobbled into the house.
Atop the Northern Peak of Cloud Sky Pavilion in the celestial realm, snow still blanketed the ground as seven figures suddenly descended onto the pristine white surface.
Yun Moyu shook his head and glanced at Li Xiaonan, who had already gotten to his feet. Panic-stricken, he exclaimed, "Oh no! Sister Ling, we brought the wrong person!"
Ling Kui sat up from the snow, holding her forehead as she gazed at the standing figure.
With a head of refreshing short hair and wispy bangs dancing in the wind, he looked strikingly handsome. His bright black eyes sparkled like stars, filled with unwavering determination. His chiseled features were cold as he stared ahead.
One hand rested behind him, standing proudly like a statue amidst the howling wind.
Ling Kui gasped, "How could this be!"
The other girls stared at the incredibly handsome Li Xiaonan, all wearing expressions as if they were caught in a cold breeze.
Li Xiaonan dazedly touched his face; his right hand slowly formed a fist. The feeling of perfection was something he had never experienced before.
He chuckled again and tried bouncing a couple of times in the snow, leaving behind a series of impressions.
Waving to the girls, he said, "It's fine! It's me!"
Ling Kui furrowed her brow slightly and said, "You are Xiao Nan..."
Li Xiaonan nodded excitedly and said, "I don't know what happened, but I'm back!"
"That's great!" Yuan Xian'er smiled, about to leap into Li Xiaonan's arms.
Suddenly, Li Xiaonan's expression stiffened, and he shouted, "Damn it! It's over! It's over! It's over!"
"Xiao Nan, what's wrong?" Ling Kui asked anxiously.
"Do you have any Celestial Energy?"
The girls exchanged glances and nodded.
Li Xiaonan's mouth twitched as he said, "I don't have any. No Golden Yuan Power, no Yuan Ying, nothing... It's over; I've been reverted to my original form..."
"Big Brother is in the cave; maybe he knows what's going on!"
Li Xiaonan nodded and rushed into the cave like a gust of wind, his speed no less than that of an ordinary immortal.
Yun Xinghe, leaning against the icy rock, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the finally returned Li Xiaonan. "That's great, little brother, you're back..."
Li Xiaonan grimaced and said, "Not good... Brother, I have no True Essence left..."
"What did you say? Cough cough cough..." Yun Xinghe was so excited that he nearly choked on his own saliva.
"Big Brother, are you okay? You look terrible..." Li Xiaonan hurried forward and gently patted his back.
Yun Xinghe sighed in relief; thankfully, Xiao Nan didn't have True Essence right now. Otherwise, if he knew about my current condition, he would be heartbroken.
He cleared his throat and said, "It's nothing. Sending your wife back to Earth took quite a bit of effort. Tell me, how come there's no Celestial Energy?"
Li Xiaonan shook his head, plopping down beside Yun Xinghe, the corners of his mouth twitching as he said, "Big Brother, do you think this is Heaven giving me a second chance, allowing me to focus on cultivating a skill?"
"If that's the case, it's your fortune. You should hurry up and go into seclusion to cultivate. I plan to do the same."
Li Xiaonan nodded, not noticing anything unusual about Yun Xinghe.
Three days later, Li Xiaonan lay on the ground in despair, wailing, "Why! Why!"
"Xiao Nan... don't rush it. Be patient. Maybe tomorrow you'll be able to sense the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth..."
"Spirit, if I can't sense the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth forever, won't I become useless? How will I find the enemies of Father-in-law and Mother of the Mountain? How will I take revenge? How will I protect you all..."
"Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan!"
Yun Moyu burst into the room with a smile, looking at Li Xiaonan who was rolling around seeking comfort. "Get up! My mother is here!"
"Huh? Mother of the Mountain ascended?"
