At that time, Shuyu's grandfather was a Taoist priest from Tianheng Mountain who had just come down from the mountain. He was reckless and clumsy, and wanted to eliminate all the suffering in the world with his passion. Some common sense about human society was not as good as that of the wild crane turning into a human.

As they spent days and nights together, Yuan Dai was moved by this man's passion, kindness and perseverance, and she dropped everything and risked her life to be with him as a human being.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Yuan Dai knew that she had failed the Immortal Lord's expectations and was too embarrassed to see her master again. She wrote a long letter and sent it to Aozang Mountain by someone else, leaving it outside the Immortal Lord's door - she was worried that her master would not agree to this marriage.

Yuandai hid far away, afraid to face the disappointed eyes of her master, and also afraid... to be taken back to the mountain by her master and separated from her lover.

Later, the effect of the transformation drug began to wear off, and she became confused and often fell into a coma. Yuan Dai thought that this was the retribution she deserved for forcing herself to retain her human form.

Later, she lost a lot of her memories, and she didn't even remember why she had this "strange disease". She just stubbornly believed that she had made a mistake, so she often prayed, hoping to be forgiven by some existence.

"If I hadn't accidentally bought the elixir mixed with immortal's blood from a mysterious merchant at Wangshu Inn, I would have already..." Yuan Dai was stunned when she said this.

The mysterious merchant...the blood of the immortal...how could it be a coincidence?! Immortal! Immortal!

Yuandai felt ashamed and guilty. Looking at Xianyun who had been listening to her story in silence, she cried so hard that she couldn't even speak.

Shuyu was busy wiping her grandmother's tears, rubbing her heart and patting her back. Her grandmother was old and in poor health, and such extreme mood swings were too harmful to her health.

"I have heard that when humans get married, the elders in the family always prepare some gifts. The elixir can be regarded as a token of my appreciation."

Xianyun sighed and used his magical powers to comfort Yuandai, allowing her to gradually calm down.

"So that's how it is," Yuan Dai lowered her head in shame, "The so-called running away and hiding my identity was just my wishful thinking. I actually...didn't hide well, did I?"

Xianyun recalled the time when Yuandai lived in Ao Zang Mountain. At that time, she was still a wild crane with newborn intelligence and a little mischievousness.

"At that time, you liked to play a game very much. You deliberately hid among the cranes and asked me to guess which one was the real you."

"And I can easily find the correct answer every time. It's the same when I'm a crane, and it's the same when I'm a human." How could she not recognize her own disciple?

Su, who was watching Yuandai's story, suddenly remembered the question that Zhenjun asked when Shuyu brought Yuandai to share the table, "Do you know me?"

Recalling Zhenjun's seemingly casual but secretly expectant gaze at that time, Su felt a strange pain in his heart and couldn't help but reach out and hold Zhenjun's hand.

Once at Wangshu Inn, Xianyun put on a mustache and a bamboo hat in a not-so-clever disguise and appeared in front of the sick Yuandai. Today, he appeared in front of Yuandai without any disguise, but was not recognized.

Although Xianyun knew that it was because Yuandai was sick in the past and now it was because of amnesia, she still felt lost.

But now, feeling the girl's warm little hand holding hers, and thinking of her two disciples Ganyu and Shenhe who recognized her at first sight, the slight depression in Xianyun's heart disappeared.

"... Never mind. Let me complete this story myself."

Xianyun waved his hand and used magic to recreate the scene in his memory. Under the starless and moonless night sky was the quiet Ao Zang Mountain.

"At that time, I was furious when I saw the letter sent by Yuan Dai, and I was ready to bring an army to bear to punish her." Cultivation is already extremely difficult, so why is it that after just a short visit to the mortal world, you have been bewitched by the humans you have only briefly interacted with!

Xianyun quickly found Yuandai and the young man and followed them to Wangshu Inn.

"To be honest, I am not satisfied with the young man you picked. As a Tianheng alchemist, he obviously lacks comprehension, and has no method when casting talismans." Xianyun was disgusted with Yuandai's choice and felt that this boy was not worthy of Yuandai.

But at that time, Yuan Dai's health became very bad because she was forcibly maintaining her human form, and she often lost her memory or fell into a coma. Both of these states would cause a lot of trouble to the people around her.

"But that boy took care of you meticulously and stayed by your bedside for a long time without a single complaint..."

When Yuandai was occasionally awake, she would smile sweetly and happily, and her expression was filled with happiness and satisfaction that she had never experienced since she was on Mount Ao Zang.

“… This shows that this person has a decent character. As for the rest, I will not bother about it anymore.”

Xianyun gave up on taking Yuandai back to Aozang Mountain, but even if Yuandai was forced to stay in the human world, there was not much time left.

Not wanting to see Yuandai really become a being that is neither human, neither fairy nor beast, Xianyun obtained various natural treasures and used his own blood as the medium to refine them into elixirs.

"Although this medicine cannot completely eliminate the side effects of the shapeshifting drug, it can suppress them to some extent."

Xianyun put on a cloak, a mustache and a hat, disguised himself as a mysterious businessman, and personally "sold" the elixir made from the immortal's blood to Yuandai.

But Yuan Dai didn't recognize her at close range, and didn't even have the slightest doubt. At that time, she really didn't know whether to be happy that her disguise was successful, or sad that they were like strangers.

"Let's put this matter behind us for now. This is not the only thing I want to tell you about." Xianyun thought of the "blood of the immortal" that he had reminded Yuandai about again and again, but Yuandai still didn't take it seriously, and he felt a headache.

"The blood of immortals will attract monsters. If you take the blood of immortals, you will also be chased by monsters. Have you forgotten such a simple truth?" He also hid in various remote places. Places with few people are most likely to encounter monsters and evil spirits.

Yuan Dai was afraid of being separated by her master, so she and her husband hid in the wilderness, avoiding the crowds. They hid in a familiar shabby house while being chased by demons.

From time to time, Yuan Dai's cries of pain during childbirth could be heard from the broken house. Her husband forced himself not to look back, and tried his best to hold up the barrier to prevent the demons from approaching.

Under the demon's relentless attack, the barrier he created with the talisman drawn with blood began to crack. He looked back at the broken house, and his fingertips and tongue could no longer bleed, so he prepared to bite his wrist to draw the last blood talisman.

But there seemed to be something else in the thick fog besides the demons. The demons screamed and gradually retreated.

"Even when you were weak, you still ran around. If I hadn't arrived just in time, you and that kid would have become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks!"

After dealing with this wave of demons formed by the remnants of the devil, Xianyun stayed not far away until Yuandai, holding her newborn child, cried with her husband after surviving the disaster.

"Although I am not an ordinary person, I can still deeply feel your joy." Xianyun sighed, "This is enough."
