Balala the Magic Fairy

However, Zhen Yuandao's power far exceeded their expectations.

His dark power covered the entire valley, surrounding them.

Zhen Yuandao's power swept in like a storm. Yan Lili and SpongeBob tried their best to resist, but they were still unable to defend themselves completely.

In the melee, Bai Yuechu resolutely rushed towards Zhen Yuandao and released all his strength in order to protect Yan Lili and SpongeBob.

His staff drew dazzling red lights in the night sky, trying to break Zhen Yuandao's dark barrier.

But Zhen Yuandao's dark power was too strong. Although Bai Yuechu's attack was fierce, it was like a stone sinking into the sea and failed to shake Zhen Yuandao in the slightest.

Zhen Yuandao's dark energy directly hit Bai Yuechu.

"Bai Yuechu!" Yan Lili and SpongeBob exclaimed. They witnessed the scene of Bai Yuechu being swallowed by dark energy, and their hearts were filled with grief and anger.

Bai Yuechu's body slowly fell in the darkness. There was no fear in his eyes, only concern for his friends and regret for the battle.

The last bit of his strength turned into a faint light and dissipated into the night sky.

"No, Bai Yuechu!" Yan Lili and SpongeBob's cries were filled with grief and anger. They could not accept that Bai Yuechu left them like this.

Zhen Yuandao looked at the fallen Bai Yuechu, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This is the fate of resisting me."

But Yan Lili and SpongeBob were not defeated by grief, and there was an even hotter fire burning in their eyes.

Bai Yuechu's sacrifice inspired them to fight even harder. They knew that only by defeating Zhen Yuandao could they avenge Bai Yuechu and protect Tushan.

"For Bai Yuechu and Tushan, we can't lose!" Yan Lili waved the Star Staff, her voice echoing in the night sky.

"Emperor Fire, burn all evil!" SpongeBob's flaming sword drew fiery tracks in the air, and his Emperor Fire burned even hotter in the night.

The power of the two reached its peak at this moment. Their attacks were like a storm, constantly impacting Zhen Yuandao's dark barrier.

However, Zhen Yuandao's power was too strong.

Under the impact of Zhen Yuandao's dark energy, Yan Lili felt that her cultivation was rapidly draining away and her body became extremely weak.

The Star Staff slipped from her hand and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Yan Lili!" SpongeBob exclaimed. He rushed to Yan Lili's side and tried to use his power to protect her.

But Zhen Yuandao's attack was so fierce that even SpongeBob could not resist it.

Under the erosion of Zhen Yuandao's dark power, SpongeBob's Emperor Fire gradually went out, his body began to change, and he was eventually beaten back to his original form.

"Hahaha, look at you, do you still have the ability to fight me now?" Zhen Yuandao laughed wildly, his figure looked even more hideous in the darkness.

Yan Lili and SpongeBob, one lost his cultivation, and the other was beaten back to his original form. It seemed that their strength was no longer able to compete with Zhen Yuandao.

Yan Lili lost her cultivation and her life became extremely difficult.

She was once a big shot in Tushan, but now she can only rely on running errands to make a living.

Every morning, before the first ray of sunlight shines through the window, she is already on her way to run errands.

No matter it was a violent storm or a scorching sun, she never stopped.

She rode her old electric bike through the streets and alleys of Tokyo Town.

Although her body no longer possesses the power of the stars, the unyielding fire still burns in her heart.

She would smile and say to the customers every time she delivered.

"have a good meal!"

Despite the hardships of life, she never gave up hope.

/

After Yan Lili lost her cultivation, her life became extremely difficult.

However, fate did not seem to abandon her completely. During one of her errands, she accidentally rescued a woman who was kidnapped by bandits.

This woman was none other than the once powerful Concubine Hua, Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan lost power due to court struggles and was demoted to a commoner. The emperor, out of old friendship, allowed her to marry an ordinary prince and become a princess.

Although she has lost her noble status, Nian Shilan's bearing and wisdom remain the same.

She was grateful to Yan Lili for saving her life and decided to take her in and make her her maid.

Although the prince is plain-looking, his character is well-known for being good.

He treated everyone in the mansion kindly, and treated Nian Shilan with great respect. The relationship between the two was deep, and everyone in the mansion could feel the harmony and respect between them.

The prince knew nothing about Yan Lili's past, but he saw her diligence and tenacity.

In the palace, Yan Lili did not need to use any magic power. She could handle everything in an orderly manner with just her hands and wisdom.

Her work attitude and ability were quickly recognized by the prince and Nian Shilan.

During her time in the palace, Yan Lili gradually adapted to this ordinary yet real life.

Nian Shilan was also very pleased to see Yan Lili's efforts and growth.

The relationship between the two gradually transcended the boundaries of master and servant and became closer and more trusting.

The kindness and care of the prince and Nian Shilan made Yan Lili feel the warmth of home. She began to regard the palace as her own home and the prince and Nian Shilan as her own relatives.

She knew that although she had lost everything in the past, here she found new belonging and hope.

A trip.

Yan Lili and Nian Shilan went to the nearby market to purchase items.

However, what they did not expect was that a group of cunning kidnappers had already targeted them, planning to take the opportunity to kidnap Nian Shilan in exchange for a huge ransom.

When the carriage reached a remote mountain road, the kidnappers suddenly rushed out of the woods and surrounded the carriage.

Yan Lili knew that although she had lost the power of the star force, her mind and courage remained.

"Your Majesty, you must leave here immediately." Yan Lili whispered to Nian Shilan, her voice firm and urgent.

Nian Shilan held Yan Lili's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry: "What are you going to do? I can't leave you alone to face these kidnappers."

Yan Lili smiled slightly, with a witty light flashing in her eyes: "Don't worry, I will find a way to escape. You go first, I will hold them back."

Under Yan Lili's insistence, Nian Shilan nodded with tears in her eyes. She knew this was the best way at the moment.

Yan Lili quickly opened the secret compartment of the carriage and let Nian Shilan hide inside. Then she used the surrounding environment to create chaos and took the opportunity to let Nian Shilan escape into the dense forest.

The kidnappers were confused by Yan Lili's actions and focused their attention on her, thinking she was a more important person.

Yan Lili deliberately exposed herself and lured the kidnappers to chase her, thus buying precious time for Nian Shilan to escape.

Unfortunately, Yan Lili was eventually captured by the kidnappers and brought before the mountain king Nezha.

Nezha is the leader of this village. He is known for his bravery and unconventional ways of doing things.

When he saw Yan Lili, he was attracted by her courage and beauty and decided to make her his wife.

However, his style of doing things is direct and rough, and he decided to keep Yan Lili by his side in his own way.

Under Nezha's coercion, Yan Lili was forced to agree to the marriage, but she was full of resistance in her heart.

The wedding was held in the mountain village. Although everything seemed lively and festive, Yan Lili felt sad in her heart.

Not long after the marriage, Yan Lili discovered that she was pregnant.

The news made her feel surprised and helpless. She didn't know how to face this sudden life.

Nezha was very happy about the news that he was about to become a father. He began to care more about Yan Lili and hoped that she could give birth to the child safely.

After ten months of pregnancy, Yan Lili finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

The child's eyes are clear and bright, as if they can see through people's hearts.

Nezha named the child "Lei Zi", hoping that he would be as powerful as Thunder God in the future.

/

On this day, the government attacked.

The copycats suffered an unprecedented blow.

The government troops' arrows fell like raindrops, and the entire mountain stronghold was filled with fire and shouts of killing.

Nezha led his men to fight hard, but the government army's offensive was too fierce and the mountain stronghold's defense line gradually collapsed.

In the chaos, Yan Lili hugged Lei Zi tightly, trying to find a safe hiding place.

However, a stray arrow unfortunately hit Lei Zi, and the child's life came to an abrupt end in Yan Lili's arms.

Yan Lili was heartbroken. Her tears mixed with her child's blood and dripped onto the cold ground.

Nezha also disappeared in the battle, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

The stronghold was completely destroyed by government troops. Yan Lili lost her last support and became a homeless woman.

Yan Lili wandered aimlessly in the ruins of the mountain village, her heart filled with despair and pain, just like her broken home.

She didn't know where her future lay, nor did she know if she still had the courage to move on.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Yan Lili, is it really you?"

She raised her head, and through her tear-blurred vision, she saw a man in a black robe standing in front of her. His face was firm, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise and concern.

"Xiao Yan?" Yan Lili's voice trembled slightly, and she could hardly believe her eyes.

Xiao Yan, such a familiar name.

"How did you become like this?" There was a hint of pain in Xiao Yan's voice. He looked at Yan Lili's haggard face, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame.

Yan Lili shook her head. She didn’t want Xiao Yan to see her vulnerable side: “I’m fine, it’s just… it’s just that everything has changed.”

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Yan Lili's face: "Come back with me."

Yan Lili hesitated for a moment. She knew that Xiao Yan really wanted to help her, but she also knew that she had lost her cultivation and was no longer the partner who could fight alongside him.

Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with determination, and he extended his hand to Yan Lili again: "Endless Fire Territory is your home, no matter what you become, we will welcome you back."

Yan Lili looked at Xiao Yan and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Thank you, Xiao Yan." There was a hint of sob in Yan Lili's voice. She finally made up her mind, stretched out her hand, and held Xiao Yan's hand tightly.

Xiao Yan nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Yan Lili's return meant that the Endless Fire Territory had once again gained a powerful partner.

Accompanied by Xiao Yan, Yan Lili embarked on the journey back to the Endless Fire Region.

They crossed the vast land, crossed the mountains, and finally came to the border of the Endless Fire Region.

Endless Fire Domain, a world full of flames and power. This is Xiao Yan’s territory and also a holy place for all fire attribute practitioners.

When Yan Lili stepped into the Endless Fire Realm again, she felt a long-lost sense of belonging.

The flames here seemed to welcome her, and the air here was full of warmth and vitality.
