Long Jinhan, who had been some distance from Bai Ran, appeared beside her in the blink of an eye.
"Hold on tight!" As the urgent words fell, Bai Ran's waist was clasped.
The rainbow-colored lightning punishment roared, stirring up gusts of wind and crackling currents. The residual rosy clouds were swallowed by dark clouds, creating a dim and terrifying scene, like the end of the world, making one's scalp tingle.
A strong sense of dizziness washed over her mind. Before Bai Ran could react, she opened her eyes again to find herself in the courtyard.
"Bai girl! Are you hurt!"
Seeing the two emerge, Long Yu pushed Long Jinhan aside and anxiously stepped forward. "How is it? Tell Uncle Long immediately if anything feels uncomfortable!"
After Bai Ran regained her senses, she glanced at Long Jinhan, who had a dark expression beside her, then looked at Long Yu and shook her head helplessly, "I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtyard visibly relaxed. The next moment, a rich aroma of pills wafted out, filling the entire courtyard.
"Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill! Miss Bai, you succeeded!" Jing Feng exclaimed with joy.
Bai Ran unfurled her palm, and a round pill lay quietly within. The three lake-blue pill stripes were particularly striking.
"Three pill stripes, excellent, excellent, hahahaha—" Long Yu's smile was so wide his mouth couldn't close. Bai girl had truly done it.
Both of them were safe and sound, and had successfully refined the Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill.
"Now His Majesty's cold ailment can be completely cured!" Tang Yi said with a smile, her gaze towards Bai Ran filled with joy.
The Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill, rumored to cure a thousand illnesses and resolve ten thousand poisons! It was actually refined by Madam!
By using a small world from another dimension to draw out the heavenly lightning, and then utilizing His Majesty's spatial abilities to transfer the danger.
Madam is indeed Madam, Tang Yi's heart pounded, and her gaze towards Bai Ran became filled with more respect and longing.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ran shook her head inexplicably, "No, this is not the true Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill."
Long Yu blinked his eyes, looking over in confusion, "Why do you say that?"
Three pill stripes, and it even triggered rainbow-colored lightning punishment, yet Bai girl claimed it wasn't the true Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill?
In the courtyard, everyone's faces showed confusion, even Long Jinhan.
Bai Ran's lips curved upwards, and she nodded slightly, "Uncle Long, this is indeed not the true Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill. Did you forget? There's still one ingredient that hasn't been added."
"There's still one ingredient? What is it?"
Long Jinhan's furrowed brow relaxed, and a faint smile touched his lips. He had an answer in his heart, "It's the blood of gods and demons."
Long Yu suddenly understood. Staring at the already formed Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill, he became troubled, "But where can we get the blood of gods and demons?"
"Besides, the pill has already formed. We can't salvage it by missing one ingredient."
Hearing this, Dongfang Wuji chuckled. He looked at Long Yu, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten your daughter-in-law's identity?"
Daughter-in-law, Bai girl? Long Yu looked towards Bai Ran, his eyes gradually widening, "Could it be!"
Bai Ran nodded slightly, confirming Long Yu's unspoken guess, "I am of the divine-demon physique."
Mo Huai'an was divine, and Huan Yan was demonic. These two bloodlines, which originally never interfered with each other, met, fell in love, and combined to form the world's unique divine-demon bloodline.
"But how could the Heavenly Dao allow a divine-demon bloodline to descend..." Long Yu murmured, his ancient face filled with disbelief.
'Prophecies cannot be changed, destiny cannot be reversed... The Linglong Bell chimes, the Daughter of Heaven's decree arrives...'
Long Yu's heart pounded, and his breathing quickened.
Daughter of Heaven's decree, heaven's decree...
He suddenly looked up, his eyes trembling as he gazed at Bai Ran, "The laws of the Heavenly Dao!"
The union of gods and demons was not uncommon. Children born from the union of gods and demons were either of a single divine bloodline or a single demonic bloodline.
Mixed-blood offspring of gods and demons had never appeared. This was because every living being in the world, from birth, was constrained by the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
So, from the moment Bai girl was born, her identity and origin were already predetermined...
Long Yu's eyes reddened, and his voice trembled, "Bai girl, your bloodline contains the purest power of the Heavenly Dao!"
The power of the Heavenly Dao's laws merged the divine and demonic bloodlines, turning the impossible into the possible.
With the power of the laws, she, Bai Ran, would not be bound by any constraints of heaven and earth.
When protecting Gu Qingcheng and the other two in the middle realm, the heavenly lightning containing the power of the Heavenly Dao could not strike her.
Despite her insufficient strength, when she followed Little Purple to the demon realm above the ninth heaven, she faced no obstruction...
This was all because of the power of the Heavenly Dao's laws within Bai Ran's bloodline!
As Long Yu's words fell, the entire courtyard fell into an unusual silence. Everyone held their breath, unable to articulate their current emotions.
"The bloodline contains the power of the Heavenly Dao's laws..." Bai Ran lowered her gaze, looking at the pill in her palm, and gradually clenched her fist.
So this was the truth of her divine-demon physique...
Jing Feng pursed his lips. Although Venerable Long Yu's words were vague, with his partial understanding, he seemed to grasp the truth.
In simple terms, Miss Bai's bloodline contained the elemental laws of heaven and earth.
These elemental laws were called the power of the Heavenly Dao's laws, and because of this, the two fundamentally different bloodlines of god and demon could fuse.
All the restraints and rules of heaven and earth thus became ineffective against Miss Bai.
Long Jinhan's eyes revealed a trace of surprise as he looked at Bai Ran's figure. This was also something he had not investigated.
"But no matter what, this will not change me."
Bai Ran smiled with a sense of release. She then summoned the Feng Yin Sword and cut open her palm with a sweep of the long sword.
Under everyone's gaze, bright red blood flowed along the veins of her palm, gradually being absorbed by the Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill at the center.
The next moment, the Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill transformed from pure white to a vibrant red.
"This is the true Three-stripe Clear Spirit Pill." Saying so, Bai Ran handed the pill to Long Jinhan, "I've fulfilled my promise to you."
Meeting Bai Ran's smiling eyes, Long Jinhan was stunned, then lowered his gaze and chuckled softly.
Their initial meeting had set the promise to cure his cold ailment.
To this day, they had walked through countless days and nights. Yet, when he met her gaze again, Long Jinhan's heart still skipped a beat.
"Girl, can you make another promise with me?" Long Jinhan took the pill but did not swallow it immediately.
"What?" Bai Ran looked up, meeting Long Jinhan's eyes filled with infinite affection.
The next moment, his slender figure leaned down, completely enveloping her in his embrace.
"Promise me, to be together year after year, never to part..."
A gentle, swift kiss, like a dragonfly touching the water, landed.
A promise, a promise, when the speaker is sincere and the listener is receptive, it becomes a true promise.
