"Time for my final farewell. First, I'll go see Yingying."
With that, Su Min vanished once more. Half a year had passed—plenty of time for Xie Yingying to get over her earlier mood.
She probably wouldn't pounce on Su Min like before.
But while Xie Yingying might not pounce, the situation wasn't exactly ideal. As the Dao dictated, all things in existence sought balance.
Pure Yin or pure Yang could not endure alone.
The same applied to the Lunar Sovereign Body and Solar Sovereign Body. These constitutions required careful nurturing from a young age; otherwise, most wouldn't survive past eighteen.
Like the many lost Five Elements Saints, countless Lunar and Solar Sovereign physiques had perished prematurely. The difference was that these two were easily identifiable—even in infancy. Any knowledgeable family or faction could recognize them.
The only catch was that the Lunar and Solar Sovereign Bodies could not coexist in the same era.
But if two such individuals met, they'd feel an irresistible pull toward each other—a primal urge rooted in the soul, not mere physical desire.
If their cultivation was low—below Dao Comprehension—there'd be no holding back. But even at the Unity stage, the attraction remained strong.
So every time Xie Yingying saw Su Min, her face would flush red. As for Su Min herself...
Perhaps because her body was female, or because her Taiyang Qi wasn't fully perfected—not yet a true Solar Sovereign Body—she felt almost nothing.
For now, her only amusement came from teasing Xie Yingying. Like right now.
"So, do you need any more pills refined? Eighth-grade is no problem. How many-colored lightning tribulation do you prefer?"
Leaning close to whisper in Xie Yingying's ear, Su Min grinned as the other woman melted into her arms. It was just too entertaining.
Normally, Xie Yingying was the picture of grace and aloofness, thanks to her Lunar Sovereign Body and cultivation techniques. But like this? The contrast was hilarious.
It was like those pure-hearted succubi or fallen elves in modern games—a delightful contradiction.
"Ah—!"
But Su Min's glee was cut short as Xie Yingying pinched her waist hard.
"No—well, actually, there is one. Help me refine an Profound Origin Water Yin Pill. I've prepared three sets of materials. The more, the better."
Blushing furiously, Xie Yingying couldn't even look at Su Min. This troublemaker had activated her Taiyang Qi to the maximum.
Back then, Su Min could only sustain it for a few minutes before needing a cooldown. But after absorbing vast amounts of Taiyang Essence, things had changed.
The duration had jumped from three minutes to whole day, with much shorter intervals. And the worst part? Su Min was definitely doing this on purpose, leaving Xie Yingying unbearably restless.
What made it even more frustrating was that Su Min herself remained completely unaffected.
At this point, Xie Yingying couldn't even remember what she'd originally wanted. Though historical records didn't mention it—and none of the Lunar Sovereign Body predecessors knew—it was undeniable that this reaction was tied to the Solar Sovereign Body.
Yin and Yang were never meant to meet. If they did, consequences were inevitable.
Just as Xie Yingying debated fleeing, the sensation finally faded, letting her breathe a sigh of relief. But her legs were weak, and there was an uncomfortably sticky feeling between them.
"Alright, alright. I've sealed my Taiyang Qi completely. This time, I might be gone for a while. Anything urgent you need?"
Seeing Xie Yingying thoroughly flustered, Su Min suppressed her Taiyang Qi entirely. With her mastery of the Five Elements Holy Body, this was effortless.
Xie Yingying immediately relaxed. (This is the end of the lower part from chapter Time to depart)
"No, I can't always rely on you. Moreover, my path to Mahayana is already paved. The Lunar Sovereign Body is different from your Five Elements Holy Body."
In response to Su Min's request, Xie Yingying shook her head. She no longer needed Su Min's help that much. Some paths must be walked alone, and she truly didn't require any more elixirs.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Su Min didn't press further. Before leaving, she needed to settle some matters.
She then left the room and returned to the depths of the sect where the Eastern Azure Wood was stored. A dazzling light began to emanate from her body as she prepared to fully construct the Five Elements Secret Realm here.
Many of these techniques were typically achievable only by Great Emperors, but with the uniqueness of her current Five Elements Body, she could accomplish it.
She raised her hand, and in an instant, a hundred herbs flourished. (And this is the end of the Upper part from chapter Reunion with Yao Xian'er)

Now, I hope you can understand just how much pressure I felt when rewriting the "Goodbye" chapter into a full version with NSFW elements.
What started as a dry 747-word draft turned into a 9,693-word piece packed with emotion, weight, and intimacy. This goodbye wasn't like the others.
This time, Su Min's departure to the other shore would take a long, long time... and I wanted to give them a proper farewell—one that truly felt earned, heartfelt, and meaningful.
(╥﹏╥)
