Thinking about how she was tens of thousands of years older than him, she suppressed the feelings that had arisen within her, and even intentionally created a few coincidental encounters to see him.
But his attitude towards her was always courteous, yet it seed like he had put up an invisible barrier, preventing her from getting any closer.
She wanted to express her feelings, but found it hard to speak up.
In many aspects, she was fearless, but when it ca to love, she had no experience. This was her first ti being moved, and given her much greater age, she was inevitably more reserved.
Later, she wanted to give the Jiuquan Sword to him as a taphor to convey her feelings.
Who would have thought that before she could gift the sword, she almost lost her life due to an incident with the Demon World?
Severely injured, her archenemy seized the opportunity to seal her Primordial Spirit inside the body of a Li Mao, and that was when she t him.
The days she spent by his side as a companion pet were so of the rare joyful days of her life.
Unfortunately, good tis never last. He fell in love with the nine-tailed fox Lin Yueer.
At that ti, her heart ached imnsely, and she had no way to vent, nor could she tell him, realizing all the more that her affections had grown deeper.
Her feelings for him had been completely unknown to him from the beginning to the end.
So many years had passed, he had found new love and even had two children in the mortal world.
Moreover, the mother of the children was still alive; they had rely separated.
However, the Jiuquan Sword was still in his possession, which to Jun Li, seed like it was destined to be his.
This fact was perhaps the last bit of consolation for her.
It did make her feel a little better.

When Antonio and Long Tianjiao erged from the forest, they both broke down into tears.
It was just too difficult.
Ever since Long Tianjiao gave birth to Liang Qing, the two had remained in the sa place, as the child was too young and fragile to withstand any harsh journeys. Falling ill would be a disaster.
Compared to leaving this place, the child was more important.
They believed as long as they were alive, they could eventually find their way out, but if anything happened to the child, they would never forgive themselves.
Over the years, Antonio kept marking the path out of the forest.
Now, as they finally left the forest with their four-year-old child, it felt like a dream. They felt like they had consud the bitterest hardships life had to offer.
In the toughest tis, they had days without any food, starving to the point of eating tree bark and drinking cold water.
The three of them lived like savages.
Enduring the cold of winter and the heat of sumr, while also fending off wild animals, mosquitoes, snakes, and rats.
But they survived the hardest tis.
Now, they had finally left the forest.
With the child in tow, Antonio and Long Tianjiao, filled with excitent, headed into a city in the nearby V Country.
After entering the city, they walked a long ti before spotting a jewelry store.
Long Tianjiao went in alone and pawned the necklace Liang He had once bought for her for 1.88 million yuan.
Now penniless, this necklace was all they had left from before.
Without money, how could they afford to take a boat and leave?
The jewelry store, seeing her attire was incongruent with soone owning such a piece of jewelry, suspected it was stolen. The necklace, worth a million yuan, was only traded for five thousand yuan.
Long Tianjiao accepted the five thousand yuan, but at the sa ti, she morized the na of the store and the characters on the street sign in front of it.
She would redeem the necklace one day.
With the five thousand yuan, two adults and a child each bought the cheapest set of clothes. It had been five years, and for the first ti, Long Tianjiao really wanted to cry as she wore clean, new clothes, but with the child by her side, she couldn’t cry; she had to be strong.
