Chapter 5370: A New Last Name Bestowed
She felt relaxed and free for the first time; her dao heart inadvertently opened and welcomed this sensation. The rays took root in her dao heart and infected every crevice. Her true fate and mind were more than willing to be bathed by this gentle light.
Her mind was one of a frozen world - a reflection of her lonely life. Perhaps the last time she felt loved was while being a baby embraced by her parents.
Later on, she only knew of survival and the dao. She sealed her emotions in order to stay alive; this didn’t change even after she became a conqueror.

She trembled as the scars came back but as time passed, she felt a strange itch in her mind and became numb. She stopped thinking and immersed herself, allowing the warmth to spread throughout her body.
Happiness and joy returned to replace the chilling loneliness. She found herself leaving the frigid mountain for a green field. Her laughter echoed throughout the valleys. It has been a long time since she last laughed, let alone feeling happiness.

Tears moistened her cheeks, causing her to wipe them. This experience has drastically improved her mental state and dao heart.
“You are you, what happened to your parents is in the past now. You must live your own life and know that you are freed from the past. You are Li Xian’er now.” Li Qiye said.
“Li Xian’er.” She said softly.

“I don’t need your life. You can repay me by walking farther on the endless dao path.” He accepted the gesture and told her to get up.
Her heart was filled with warmth. She reached for her veil, wanting to remove it to reveal her true self.
“I know you already since I have granted you a new life, there’s no need for another introduction.” Li Qiye stopped her and smiled.
“Yes, you have breathed new life onto me, no different from my birth parents.” She said, accepting someone else into her life.
For the first time, she felt that cultivation could be a happy matter - no longer a tribulation to be endured.
