Just that Huan Qing Yan had always been resisting her thoughts going towards that direction.
Other than Bai Chen Feng, no other Demon Man would have treated her so well.
To risk his life to save her.
If not for Bai Chen Feng, she would have succumbed to Madam Ru’s vicious actions inside the cave.
Plant Sage spoke, “A decent child had actually turned into a Demon Man. What’s more, a commander of Demon Men, what a pity. Looks like this old man needs to head to Hanging Cloud immediately after the wedding.”
“Yes. Hanging Cloud is becoming quite a mess. First, the presence of Devil Men. Now, their Crown Prince turned into a commander of the Demon Men. Proper investigations are needed.”
The other Half-Sages concurred as well.
Next was to form the Heart Union Knot.
Crazy Sage has left to give pursuit. Snow Sage and Sage Cai had lost their competitiveness as well, worried about an event that might impact humanity.
The wedding today was simply too taxing on people.
In the end, Snow Sage conceded, “Old Cai, you should do it. This old man just recovered from injuries and is not on par with your cultivation. If you form their Heart Union Knot, the two children might be able to walk slightly further in life.”
Ji Mo Cai naturally had nothing else to add and took out a red string that was a foot long.
This red string was not an ordinary one.
The Spirit Treasure Continent possesses a vast amount of resources and is filled with spirit energy. This environment nurtured countless different lifeforms, with many of them developing unique traits.
One of them was called Steppe Bird.
The Steppe Bird might be an avian, but it cannot fly because they were born with only one wing.
From the moment of their birth, they would start to seek out their other half.
Only after they found a suitable mate, will they work together and obtain the ability to fly in the sky freely.
Also, once they pair up, they would never leave each other for the rest of their lives. The furthest apart they would ever be from each other was one foot.
However, such behaviour is not to be mistaken for dumbness nor did it mean that the birds would be very easy to capture.
After Steppe Birds pair up, their speed will be much faster than other birds. They also possess relatively stronger attack power as well, able to release a few dozen blades of wind to attack as though it was nothing.
To sum it up, even a common King Spirit Master would not find it easy to capture these birds. One can see how powerful these birds are!
However, these birds also have one fatal weakness, their short lifespan of thirty years or so. Only slightly longer than common wild beasts.
Also, as long as one of the pair died, the surviving mate will release mournful cries for three days and night, crying “Unfair! Unfair!” The blood-curdling cries would go on until the end, where it would carry its dead partner and throw itself down a volcano!
Legend has it that at those final moments, a trace of unique blood essence would burst out from the Steppe Bird and turn into a red string. The red string would leave the body and be carried away by wind and scattered outside.
That was why this red string was strictly speaking, not a real string. Just something that looked like a string.
Thousands of years ago, humanity discovered this red string that possessed a unique trait.
Huan Qing Yan and Ji Mo Ya each took an end of the string and recited the words spoken by Sage Cai.
This red string will tie the loving couple with a bond that lasts for three lifetimes. Under the autumn moon will the love form a union of hearts. May prosperity and fortune follow and appear like the clouds of the clear sky….
After they finished reciting, the couple saw the red string on their hand became alive and started moving. The ends turned into a small heart-shaped knot before sinking into their bodies.
No one could see it, but when Huan Qing Yan inspected her body, she saw this heart-shaped knot stopped behind her heart and remained floating there.
She could detect the burning gaze of Ji Mo Ya on her. When she turned to look, they two instantly noticed that their divine sense had melded together, as though they were as one.
