"This peach blossom is a gift from me to you," the venerable one said. "I have specially condensed a strand of life force within it, symbolizing the exuberant spirit of spring."
"I can sense your body becoming weaker and weaker, but do not worry. As long as I am here, even a peach blossom can bloom in late autumn."
"I will not allow anyone to take your life..."
Words echoed in Hua Lianyue's mind as she lowered her head to look at the peach blossom before her.
She could feel its mystique.
Just as her Master had said, though it had left the branch, left the spring, it exuded a rich life force that merged into her body, warming her bit by bit.
Her once determined heart had gradually become lost, unsure, not knowing what to do.
But she could sense that the true feelings she had suppressed during the illusion were sprouting like seeds, growing ever more resolute.
The wild wind howled...
Hua Lianyue held a pink petal in one hand, and a green flower in the other.
