Chapter 56: Could it be that in your heart, I am just him…

Li He stood up and slowly embraced the girl's slender waist. Yun Heng curled up in his arms like a cat, her long black hair scattered, a few strands entangled in his fingertips. He slowly stood up, finally picked her up and carried her horizontally, slowly walking towards the room.

Although the girl was still deep in sleep, she smelled the familiar and reassuring scent of his breath and unconsciously rubbed his neck. Li He felt her movement and a low laugh escaped his throat, shaking his chest slightly.

He gently placed her on the couch, cherishing her like a treasure. Yun Heng, drowsy, clutched a corner of the quilt and rolled over, curling up like a cocoon. Li He knelt on one knee and just looked at her quietly. The moonlight filtered through the screen window, casting a silver glow on the girl's eyebrows and eyes.

He couldn't help but reach out and slowly stroke her eyebrows with his fingers.

Looking down, he spotted the white jade bracelet on Yunheng's wrist. He chuckled with satisfaction, grasping her wrist and gently stroking it.

Yunheng felt an itch on her face, as if there were flies. She scratched it half-heartedly before turning back to sleep.

Li He's eyes darkened, and as he gazed at her back, he whispered, "If you like him, I'll give him back to you."

...

The next day, Yunheng bid farewell to Ye Heng and prepared to return to the Celestial Realm. Just as he was about to cast a spell, Li He suddenly clutched his head in pain, his face trembling.

"What's wrong?" Yunheng had never seen him like this before, and she quickly supported him and asked with concern.

Li He struggled to shake his head and waved his hand weakly, "No problem."

Yunheng chalked his condition up to being unaccustomed to human food and, dismissing it, quickly carried him back to the Celestial Realm.

"Where's he?" Yunheng frantically glanced around, suddenly feeling her toe bump against something. Looking down, I saw that Li He had fainted on the ground, his face pale.

"Li He! Li He!" Yun Heng gently shook Li He, and seeing that he was still not awake, she quickly asked other immortal servants to send Li He to his palace.

The immortals at the banquet learned that Li He had suddenly fainted, and they all went to his bedroom to visit him. The Xianze Banquet was forced to end. For

a while, the stone palace was crowded with immortals who came to visit. It was only when the Emperor of Heaven arrived that they dispersed. At this time, only the Emperor of Heaven, Yun Heng, Ji Yu and some immortal servants were left in the palace.

The Emperor of Heaven raised his hand and cast a spell to check on Li He's condition. He felt that he was fine, but just a little weak, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does the immortal Yun Heng know why Li He fainted?" The Emperor of Heaven asked.

"I... I don't know either. I also happened to find Li He fainted when I passed by here." Yun Heng looked calm.

The Emperor of Heaven seemed to have a thought in mind. He looked Yun Heng up and down and said, "Isn't Fairy Yun Heng weak from your ordeal and unable to stand?"

"Well..." Yun Heng hurriedly held her waist and said weakly, "It's true that my legs and feet are not so convenient, but I can still get up from the bed. I thought I

'd get out and move around, so..." He glanced at the unconscious man on the bed. The Emperor of Heaven seemed to understand and turned to leave. After a few steps, he turned his head and said, "It seems that Shentianmen should add more guards."

Then he left with his hands behind his back, leaving only his hearty laughter echoing in the hall.

Yunheng shuddered, muttering to herself, "Nothing escapes the Heavenly Emperor's watchful eyes."

"Of course," Jiyu said, crossing his arms and smiling, stepping forward. "My father isn't the Heavenly Emperor for nothing. So, what were you and Lihe doing secretly descending to the mortal realm?" Yunheng

was about to speak when she glanced at Lihe lying on the bed. Pulling Jiyu outside the hall, Yunheng declared righteously, "It wasn't him and me. It was that stinking stone that was following me." He curled his lips.

Jiyu's face lit up with excitement, his eyes gleaming as he pointed at Yunheng and said, "I know. He! Likes! You!"

The girl's eyes widened at that, and she quickly pried off his finger, gnashing her teeth as she said, "Please don't curse me, okay?" With that, she strode back to Yinhong Pavilion.

On the way back, she felt a growing fear. If Lihe really got caught up in her, she might as well join the immortal Ciyun and descend to the mortal world to become a Taoist priest.

Just as she was daydreaming, the red line on her wrist suddenly became hot. Yunheng remembered that she still had something serious to do. She came to the Yinhong tree and looked carefully and found that there was nothing unusual about the sacred tree.

"No, how could this happen?" Yunheng stroked her chin and was puzzled.

In desperation, she had to step into the library again.

Since the departure of Ciyun Immortal God, no one forced her to read, and Yunheng had never set foot in the library again. Now, as soon as she opened the door of the library, thick dust rushed in her face, choking her and coughing.

Yunheng waved her hand lightly, and the library returned to its clean and tidy appearance.

However, there were thousands of books in the library. How could she find a way to untie the red line?

Anyway, she was very upset now, so reading was just a pastime. She took the book from the first shelf and sat on the ground to read it slowly.

But Yunheng felt like she had a disease. As long as she read, she couldn't help but feel sleepy. Unknowingly, she fell asleep again.

"Goddess of Immortal, Goddess of Immortal, something bad is going to happen!" Yunheng was shaken awake by Zhuyu. She opened her eyes dimly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Goddess of Immortal Lihe is anxious to see you." Zhuyu shouted anxiously.

"Ah?"

...

When Yunheng rushed to the Stone Hall in a daze, she saw that the door of the hall was closed and all the immortal servants were stopped outside the hall and were anxiously turning around.

"What's going on?" Yunheng was confused.

The immortal servant saw Yunheng coming and complained, "Goddess of Immortal Yunheng, you are finally here. Goddess of Immortal Lihe seems to have lost his memory since he woke up. He kept asking who we are and drove us out and kept shouting that he wanted to see you. I was forced to invite Goddess of Immortal here." "What

? Amnesia?" Yunheng was even more confused after hearing this. She had no choice but to be pushed into the hall by a mysterious force behind her.

Before she could see the situation in the hall clearly, she was suddenly hugged by Dali and her eyes were dark. She raised her hands to pull the man away, but he was like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't be pulled away.

"Stinky stone, what are you talking about again..."

"Wanwan."

Yunheng heard the familiar man's soft call before she finished her words. These two words made Yunheng feel numb, and the hands that pushed her also drooped weakly. Her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't utter a word.

Li He let her go, with red eyes and pursed mouth, looking at her with an extremely aggrieved expression and said coquettishly: "Wanwan, I'm so scared."

Yunheng was even more scared at this time. She staggered back two steps, her eyes full of confusion.

Li He took two steps forward and cried: "Wanwan, I'm Ayou."

"What...what!"

Yunheng widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard and saw.

Li He continued, "It turns out that my dreams are all real."

Yun Heng suddenly realized, pinched her cheeks hard, and said to herself, "I know, I must be dreaming, yes, I am dreaming."

She turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as she turned around, the man behind her hugged her shoulders and couldn't move.

"Wan Wan, don't leave me." Li He's warm breath brushed past her ears, with a little sob.

"Li He, that's enough!" Yun Heng was completely enraged. She roared, yanking the man's arm off. Turning around, she glared at him, "Do you think this is funny?"

Li He, with tears streaming down his face, spoke in a trembling voice, "You called me Li He when you were drunk, and you still call me Li He now. So you've always treated me as a replacement, right?"

His voice gradually rose, a tinge of grievance and anger.

Yun Heng knew Li He was a stone-faced, cold-hearted man who would never show such an expression. But seeing him like this made her truly doubt herself.

Could he really be Qi Youan?

Yun Heng's mind was in a turmoil, and she simply cast a magical spell to instantly return to Yinhong Pavilion. Bewildered

, Li He watched the girl vanish, looking around for her, only to be met with the empty palace.

"Crazy, crazy!" Yun Heng muttered, quickly returning to the library. "This red string must be to blame."

She flipped through the books, desperate to find a solution.

But Li He's tearful eyes kept flickering before her eyes, the ink writing blurring across the silk paper. She tossed the scroll in frustration, rubbing her sore brow as she paced the library.

"What's this Li He up to?" Yun Heng gritted her teeth, trying to suppress her anger.

The library held tens of thousands of volumes, and reading them made her eyes sore. She sighed wearily, straightened her back, pounded her shoulders, and slowly left the library.

Upon returning to Yinhong Pavilion, Yun Heng was met with a startling sight: Li He was sitting beneath the Yinhong sacred tree, playing with a night-shining pearl, seemingly waiting for her for a long time.

Yun Heng quickly dodged in front of him, snatched the night-shining pearl, and clutched her waist, angrily saying, "Li He, have you had enough? How did I offend you?" Li

He stood up and approached, standing in front of the girl with an oppressive air. He was about to speak, but as if something had occurred to him, he turned back and said angrily, "You look different from when you were in the mortal world, and I still recognized you immediately. But now you keep calling me Li He."

Yun Heng looked down at his clenched fists, and couldn't help but fall into self-doubt again.

She walked over to Li He and, as if possessed, cupped his cheek to make him look at her.

Seeing Li He's eyes red with grievance, Yun Heng hesitated and said, "Are you really... Qi Youan?"

"In your heart, there's no Qi Youan anymore?" Li He said, like a wronged young woman questioning her cheating husband.

Then he lowered his head and continued to complain: "When I woke up, I was in that strange temple, surrounded by a group of strangers who called me Li He Immortal God.

I was very scared, but also very happy, thinking that even if I died, I could still meet you in another world.

But as soon as you saw me, you kept calling out the name of another man. Then I realized that in your heart, I was worthless."

As he spoke, a few drops of his hot tears fell on Yun Heng's hand.

If it was Li He, even if he pretended, he could not pretend to be so pitiful. Thinking of this, Yun Heng finally realized that the person in front of her was Qi Youan.

"A... You?" She called hesitantly and softly. The man slowly raised his head and stared at her with his big watery eyes, and nodded slightly.

Yun Heng's brows were twisted into a knot. She was puzzled. Wasn't the tribulation over?

Catching the man's dazed expression, Li He asked, "It's me. Are you unhappy?"

Yun Heng snapped back to reality, looked up, and smiled. "I'm happy, of course I am."

But Li He didn't show any joy at this, instead lowering his head in silence.

"So there really are immortals in this world," Li He said, surveying Yinhong Pavilion. "You're an immortal, and the Li He they refer to is also an immortal. This is the immortal realm."

Yun Heng was surprised by his composure and nodded.

"So your mortal appearance and identity are just a disguise. You're only being affectionate with me because I resemble the Li He you refer to." The man's gaze grew sharper.

"That's not true!" Yun Heng waved her hand quickly. "I was forced to come to the mortal world. Your resemblance to Li He is...just a coincidence. I don't dislike him."

Li He's eyes darkened at this, and he grasped the girl's lithe waist. Yun Heng was momentarily stunned and fell into his arms.

The two were now less than an inch apart. If Li He lowered his head, their lips would touch.

He stared at her beautiful features and murmured, "No matter what, as long as I can be by your side," he said in a hushed voice. Yun

Heng hadn't even come to her senses when his lips were captured. His tongue, like a serpent, plunged into her, stirring her spirits. After a long moment, Li He finally looked up, but his hand remained firmly locked around her waist.

Yun Heng's rosy cheeks were truly endearing. Li He hugged her tightly, burying his head in her neck, inhaling her unique fragrance, and suddenly felt a surge of joy.

Yun Heng hesitantly hugged him back.

"Immortal, is this treasure sent by the Dragon King of the Sea also in the West Palace?" Yun Heng heard the immortal servant's voice and quickly pushed Li He away, but Zhu Yu still witnessed the intimate scene.

Upon entering the palace, Zhu Yu saw his own immortal and Li He embraced each other, and he froze in his place with his mouth open in shock.

Li He raised his eyes and cast a warning look at her. Zhu Yu shuddered with fear and waved his hands, saying, "I... I didn't see anything." With that, he hurried out of the hall.

Yun Heng scratched her hair in distress. To the other immortals, they were clearly enemies, never to be seen together. Now, suddenly embracing so intimately, it would be surprising if she wasn't shocked.

Li He moved forward to embrace her again, but Yun Heng pushed him away.

"It's late, you should return to the hall."

"I don't want to," Li He refused. "We are husband and wife. I don't want to be separated from you."

"No," Yun Heng refused coldly. "That was in the human world. We have no relationship now. I don't want to be the talk of the entire immortal world." Li

He fell silent after hearing this. Then, his eyes flickered, as if a bright idea had occurred to him. He looked at his hands, made up his mind, and with a wave of his hand, he cast a barrier around Yin Hong.

"It actually worked." Li He laughed, "I put up a barrier for the whole room, no one will know that I am staying here."

Yun Heng blushed after hearing this. She had to obey him in the mortal world, but she couldn't let him do whatever he wanted in the fairy world.

"That won't work either." She said.

Hearing this, Li He walked closer to Yun Heng, took her fingers and shook them gently, saying coquettishly: "Wan Wan, I really miss you, just let me stay here. I don't want to see those people I don't know."

Yun Heng was very sure at this moment that the person in front of her was Qi Youan.

What Li He said reminded her that Li He is now Qi Youan in the human world. He doesn't know other fairies except herself. If he returns to the stone palace and reveals his flaws, and the Fairy Servants find out, it will be a big trouble.

"Okay, just this once."
