Gu Xiaoxi turned her head and, before she knew it, she found herself surrounded by a pack of wolves.

The last rays of the setting sun illuminated the ground, and Bai Yaxuan’s pale, paper-like face was etched into her mind, impossible to dispel.

Immediately after, she saw countless wolves charging at Bai Yaxuan.

Without thinking, she picked up a dry branch from the ground and held it in front of the wolves.

Over the past year, she had worked hard to build up her body, and her reflexes had improved significantly.

When the first wolf charged at her, she casually grabbed a stone and smashed it hard on its head.

The wolf was knocked unconscious.

After that, more and more wolves leaped towards her, one after another.

She swung the stick in her hands fiercely, fighting back. She would never let them hurt Bai Yaxuan.

But as more and more wolves attacked her, they even seemed intent on devouring her as well.

Soon, many wolves lay on the ground, the pungent smell of fresh blood making her scared.

And gradually, her physical strength began to deplete.

Suddenly, she saw a wolf lunging at Bai Yaxuan, its gaping maw ready to bite down.

Without a thought, she turned and threw herself over, using her body to block the wolf’s head, and as she saw the wolf about to bite her, she closed her eyes in resignation.

However, instead of the anticipated pain, she heard the wolf’s anguished howl.

When she opened her eyes, there was Quan Shaoqing, standing beside her, having slain all the wolves in front of them.

"Are you alright!" Quan Shaoqing hurried over and took her hand, only then noticing that she was covered in blood.

Gu Xiaoxi, still in shock, began to cry once more upon seeing Quan Shaoqing.

"Quickly, check on him, find a way to save him!" Gu Xiaoxi panicked. She had only wanted to leave Bai Yaxuan, but she had never intended for him to die.

Quan Shaoqing examined Bai Yaxuan’s body, then shook his head and said, "He’s already dead!"

He just couldn’t understand what had happened. A plane crash didn’t make sense either; why was Jue Qi fine, while only the two of them had fallen?

Gu Xiaoxi was startled, unable to accept this fact even now.

Why wasn’t it her who died? Perhaps, she might have been able to return to her previous life.

"Xiao Xi, don’t be afraid, I’m still here!" Quan Shaoqing grabbed her hand and held her tightly in his arms.

Gu Xiaoxi, with her eyes closed, kept hearing Quan Shaoqing’s words echoing around her, as if he had said the same thing to her in a past life.

In a daze, her mind was flooded with many memories.

At eighteen, Gu Xiaoxi joined the military, and Quan Shaoqing became her guardian. In the army, she grew step by step, eventually entering the International Alliance.

She had had a child with him, and they lived happily ever after.

No, her arrival in this world was not a journey through time, but through reincarnation.

Suppressed memories from her past life had brought her to this world.

Thinking thus, Gu Xiaoxi’s body began to undergo changes.

Her bloodstained clothes turned into a water-blue fairy dress, and her dull little face, with its pale skin, was immediately endowed with a glow.

Restoring her memory meant she also regained her former cultivation.

Quan Shaoqing had no idea what had happened and stared blankly at the woman in front of him. It took him a long while to finally speak, "Xiao Xi, what’s happened to you?"

"I’m fine!" Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fingers, feeling her whole body now filled with strength.

She looked towards Quan Shaoqing, then towards Bai Yaxuan, her gaze becoming unfathomably deep.

Although Bai Yaxuan had died, it was only in this life.

No matter how the script was written, she could never forget Quan Shaoqing.

"But your appearance?" Quan Shaoqing had no memories of his previous life and didn’t know what had happened. It all felt like a dream, hard to accept.

"Shaoqing, it’s no use explaining to you now." Gu Xiaoxi stood up from the ground, her beautiful aqua blue dress making her as stunning as a Fairy.

"Then what do you mean?" Quan Shaoqing was eager to know what had happened.

But Gu Xiaoxi just looked at his bewitching face and stepped forward to give him a big hug.

Quan Shaoqing was stunned on the spot, obviously Gu Xiaoxi had changed, became both strange and familiar, stirring something in his mind.

But he felt that she might be leaving him.

"Some things can’t be resolved in this lifetime. But remember, I love you. I want to continue this love for a long, long time. So, I’m leaving you now. Believe that it won’t be long before we meet again." Gu Xiaoxi bit her lip, recalling everything from her past and present life.

If she didn’t want to separate, then she had to make more effort for the future.

"I don’t understand what you’re saying?" Quan Shaoqing anxiously grasped Gu Xiaoxi’s hand. She said she was leaving, but where could she go?

Gu Xiaoxi released his hand and smiled faintly, "Live well, when the time comes, I will come back for you."

As she spoke, her body turned into a stream of light and then disappeared into the Primitive Forest.

Quan Shaoqing used all his strength to try to catch her, but caught only air, nothing at all.

The Immortal Realm is an independent planet, enshrouded in mist, with clouds swirling and beautiful palaces either floating in midair or standing atop mountains. Cranes flew and Fairy Maids gathered in flocks.

This was the true paradise.

At this moment, a palace standing in midair was particularly striking. The palace was vast, with verdant grass and tightly blossoming flowers. The entrance faced the sun, blessed with light all year round. At first sight, it was so sacred that one could not help but bow down in worship.

When Gu Xiaoxi appeared here, the bustle of Fairy Maids within the palace was startled.

"Your Highness Lan Xi?"

Fairy Maid Zi Yun, who had once been Lan Xi’s close aide, called out excitedly.

Considering the time, it had been just over two years until Lan Xi’s return. A day in heaven was a year in the Mortal World, a thousand years in the Mortal World was just over two years in heaven.

Now that they had seen Lan Xi, it was clearly hundreds of years early.

"Hmm!" Gu Xiaoxi responded lightly. In fact, she had not recovered her memories from ten thousand years ago, so she could only return to this place following her current recollections.

"Your Highness, you’ve finally returned. Ten thousand days without you, Zi Yun has missed you so." The girl in the purple dress rushed to Gu Xiaoxi and held her tightly.

She seemed to be overwhelmed with excitement.

Gu Xiaoxi extended her hand and patted her back, saying, "All right, now that I have come back early. It won’t be long before many will come looking for me. Prepare a bit, I need to rest."

"Your Highness, the Grand Master has been waiting for your return. Shall I go report to him now?" Zi Yun asked, her face flushed with happiness.
