Mortal: Transmigrated into Han Li, becoming a person with five spiritual roots

Chapter 60 Leaving the Island

One month later.

Red Moon Island, early morning.

The faint morning light shines on the earth, and the wind rustles through the red leaves.

Inside the bamboo and wood house at this moment.

Han Li packed his things and put them in his storage bag.

One last glance back at the bamboo house where I had lived for several months, I felt a pang of reluctance to leave.

During this period of recuperation, the pace of life was relatively slow, and for a time, Han Li actually began to like this slow-paced lifestyle.

People are always nostalgic, and monks are ultimately just people too.

"If an ordinary person could live like this for the rest of their life, it wouldn't be bad."

"But, sigh..."

Han Li, no longer looking back, turned and left.

......

"Elder Han, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

A sword light flashed across the horizon, and Han Li's figure slowly appeared in the air before landing on the ground.

On the beach, when the Qian family saw Han Li, Qian Ku, Elder Li, and the others quickly came forward to greet him, bowing respectfully.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Han Li returned the greetings one by one.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Seeing this, Qianku and Elder Li exchanged a glance.

"Elder Han, aren't you going to say goodbye to Fairy Stone Butterfly?"

Over the past few days, they have witnessed the relationship between Han Li and Shi Die.

During Han Li's recovery period, Shi Die came to visit almost every day.

After the last meeting, Shi Die seemed to have become very busy, but she also sent people to visit him every day.

The sentiment behind this is evident.

Hearing their questions, Han Li smiled slightly, but did not answer directly.

Han Li is not a pedantic person.

If there were no restrictions, he would probably accept the beauty's kindness.

"let's go."

Han Li replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Qianku and Elder Li exchanged a glance and said no more.

"In that case, let's set off."

The three of them walked toward several large ships bearing the logo of the Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce.

Just then, a familiar voice called out from the distant horizon.

"Senior Brother Han!"

Upon hearing the voice, Han Li paused and instinctively turned around.

A streak of shimmering red light flashed across the horizon, and a figure descended from the sky.

It was a stone butterfly.

Since their last parting at Shi Kun's cave, the two have seen each other less and less. Most of the time, their personal maids bring them daily necessities and healing pills.

......

Upon seeing Fairy Stone Butterfly arrive, Qianku and Elder Li exchanged a smile.

He winked at Han Li.

"Elder Han, Old Qian and I have some personal matters to attend to. You two can talk at your leisure."

"Let's talk slowly."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two boarded their flying artifacts and flew towards the giant ship.

The two left.

Shi Die couldn't help but walk up to Han Li.

"Senior Brother Han, are you leaving?"

The two were very close, and Han Li could clearly see the details of Shi Die's face.

I took a light sniff and caught a faint, almost imperceptible scent of camellia.

The stone butterfly was too close, and Han Li's gaze instinctively darted away.

"Senior Brother Han, isn't the stone butterfly pretty enough?"

Shi Die noticed Han Li's evasive gaze and pressed him for an answer.

Upon hearing the woman's question, Han Li took another closer look at Shi Die.

She was still wearing a cropped mini skirt, her skin was fair, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her figure was exquisite and very alluring, and her red lips were a feast for the eyes.

For some reason, she looked much thinner than she had a month ago, and her demeanor was also a bit aloof.

"Junior sister's appearance is naturally very beautiful."

Han Li made no attempt to hide his admiration.

Upon hearing Han Li's evaluation, Shi Die's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously took a step closer.

Not far away, the waves crashed against the light red sand, creating white spray.

A gentle breeze rustled the red leaves.

"But junior sister, I already have a Daoist partner."

Han Li finished speaking calmly.

He put it very directly.

Han Li never expected that Shi Die would still like him after he revealed the truth about his pseudo-spiritual root.

She was quite different from most of the women he had met before.

But how determined is she?

Han Li was unsure.

If it were just a fleeting romance, that would be fine, but he is a sentimental person.

Upon hearing this, Shi Die's body trembled as if struck by lightning, and her body instantly stiffened.

"I already have... a Daoist partner."

Shi Die murmured Han Li's words, her eyes glazed over.

I couldn't accept all of this for a while.

After a long while, Shi Die finally calmed down, as if she had accepted the fact.

"Senior brother, since you're leaving, why don't you walk with me for a bit?"

Shi Die raised her head, managed a weak smile, and her face was slightly pale.

Han Li saw the hope in her eyes and couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed.

The two continued walking along the beach.

In the early morning, the cool sea breeze, carrying a faint salty smell of seawater, brushed against their faces and lifted a strand of hair.

"Senior brother, your Daoist partner must be very beautiful, right?"

The two remained silent until Shi Die broke the silence first.

Beautiful? Han Li thought of Chen Qiaoqian, and then of Yuan Yao.

A faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Han Li nodded; the two were indeed very beautiful.

Seeing Han Li's expression, Shi Die felt even more uncomfortable.

The salty smell of the sea breeze seemed even stronger.

"Senior Brother Han, I mean, if I were the first person you met, would you choose me?"

Stone Butterfly turned her head.

At that moment, sunlight shone through the clouds onto her face. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her beautiful eyes sparkled. Everything seemed just right.

Han Li's mind seemed to stop working, and he blurted out what was on his mind:

"Of course, my junior sister is beautiful and has a good personality. If we had known each other first, I would naturally choose her."

Han Li regretted it as soon as he said it.

Shi Die's eyes were gradually turning red.

Finally, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into Han Li's arms, tears streaming down her face, soaking Han Li's clothes.

Han Li didn't say anything, letting her lean against him.

The embrace was warm, but the sea breeze was cool.

Ever since Shi Die first met Han Li, she had a peculiar feeling, both unfamiliar and familiar, which was quite strange.

She had a premonition that if she didn't express her feelings this time, their relationship might have come to an end.

It's unlikely we'll ever meet again.

"Senior Brother Han, even if you have a Daoist partner, Shi Die is still willing to be with you..."

In his arms, Shi Die slowly raised her head, a resolute look appearing in her eyes, and said softly.

Han Li was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He never imagined that Shi Die would have such a strong determination.

Born into wealth and possessing extraordinary talent, she could probably attract a huge number of suitors who would circle around Red Moon Island.

Seeing Shi Die's pitiful appearance, Han Li finally couldn't bear it.

He gently patted Shi Die on the back, looked at the distant azure sea, and slowly said:

"Junior sister, the cultivation world is treacherous and unpredictable. The Foundation Establishment stage is just the beginning. One moment of carelessness and you will die and your cultivation will vanish, turning a hundred years of cultivation into dust in an instant."

"Without sufficient strength, being together will only add to the sadness."

As Han Li finished speaking, Shi Die's face turned slightly pale.

Han Li gently pushed the stone butterfly away from his arms and wiped away the tears from the corners of its eyes.

Then, he turned around and took out a flying sword.

"Senior Brother Han!"

Shi Die called him again.

"If Senior Brother successfully forms his Core this time, is there still a chance for us?"

Han Li paused for a moment, but did not answer. He then transformed into a streak of sword light and shot into the sky.

Only Shi Die was left standing alone on the beach.

Somewhat at a loss.

A moment later, a gentle voice entered Stone Butterfly's ears:

"Junior sister, cultivate diligently. We will meet again if fate allows."
