Meiying, his beloved!

Han Li walked towards Li Yao's room with a faint smile on his face and a warmth in his eyes that hadn't been there before. No matter how foreign the illusion had seemed from himself, in the end, it was his own heart's reflection.

In the deepest core of his heart, he knew Liyue and Li Yao would only add to the weight on his back as he climbed this mountain of life to reach that far-away peak. And he had naturally only kept the budding affections in his heart distant.

He didn't want more weight instinctively. But now here, his heart was a different one from the one he had yesterday. His heart of cultivation had changed — It had broken through.

Previously, his Heart of Cultivation was based on two things: Protecting his mother and reaching a level of might where life and death are under his control. It was an extremely solid Heart based on the demonic path.
