Ling Guang took Ling Ji's delicate jade hand and placed it in her palm. Looking into her eyes, she said, "Can I give you a new name? After all, you are now my daughter. If you don't agree to change your name, then I will continue to call you by your original name. The choice is yours, and I respect your decision."

"Change!" Ling Ji firmly replied.

It was clear that her past family had caused her deep pain. So when Ling Guang suggested changing her name, she immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, let me think of a new name for you." Ling Guang supporting her head, pondering. Suddenly, her gaze froze, and she looked up and said, "Since you are a vampire, how about calling you Ling Ji?"

"Ling Ji?" Ling Ji repeated, furrowing her brows. It seemed she was somewhat reluctant, as the name didn't sound very pleasant to her. She felt some resistance in her heart.

Ling Guang lightly tapped Ling Ji's forehead and said, "It's Ling Ji. What are you daydreaming about all the time?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's the daughter's fault for thinking in the wrong way." Ling Ji quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, thinking to herself, "What's wrong with me? How did my mind come up with such filthy things? It's all because my aunt always tells me all sorts of erratic knowledge."

"Now that you have regained your sight, let me show you the beautiful scenery of the Cloud Palace." Ling Guang said, taking Ling Ji's hand and leaving the chamber.

The Cloud Palace was divided into four palaces, east, west, south, and north, each with a different layout. Especially the East Palace, where Ling Ji's aunt lived, there was a complex array set up, and one wrong move could lead to death.

"Aunt really went overboard. She made her place look like a trap." Ling Ji couldn't help but comment.

"Hehe." Ling Guang chuckled and said, "Meng Zhang is like that. She's always tinkering with some strange things, making her own palace mysterious and unfathomable."

"What about the West Palace?" Ling Ji asked curiously.

Ling Guang thought for a moment and said, "The West Palace is guarded by the fierce and bloodthirsty Meng Bing, who imprisons some evil spirits. To satisfy his murderous desires, he would kill those evil spirits. You are forbidden from going to the West Palace; any random evil spirit there could kill you."

"Oh..." Ling Ji obediently nodded, asking, "What about Uncle Zhi Ming in the North Palace?"

"You can't go to the North Palace. Although there are no evil spirits or special arrays there, it's located underwater. Can you dive into the sea?" Ling Guang looked at her daughter and smiled.

"Well..." Ling Ji was at a loss for words. Indeed, the sea was unbelievably deep, far beyond her reach.

Ling Guang touched Ling Ji's head and said, "We have beautiful scenery here, with beautiful lakes. Would you like to go and see?"

"I'll do as you say, Mom." Ling Ji nodded and said.

Ling Guang led Ling Ji to the Phoenix Bird Lake. The lake water was azure blue, the sunlight shining on the surface, creating sparkling ripples. Fish swam and played in the lake, creating a magnificent scene.

Ling Guang held Ling Ji's small hand and sat down by a stone chair by the lake. She waved her hand, and a white mist rose from the lake, instantly transforming into a phoenix bird, landing in the center of the lake, circling back and forth on the surface.

"So beautiful!" Ling Ji exclaimed, her eyes fixed on the phoenix bird.

Ling Guang clapped her hands, and the phoenix bird split in half, then divided into four...finally transforming into ninety-nine phoenix birds. They flew around Ling Guang and Ling Ji, forming a breathtaking picture.

Ling Ji was stunned. She had never seen such a spectacle before and was amazed beyond words.

Ling Guang smiled and asked, "Is it beautiful?"

"It's beautiful, truly extraordinary." Ling Ji touched her face with her hand and praised.

"The scenery in my Nangong Palace is indeed exceptional." Ling Guang said with a hint of pride.

Ling Guang took her daughter for a walk along the lake. There was a stone path by the lake leading to the mountaintop. It meandered and twisted, resembling a bridge, and was incredibly beautiful.

Ling Guang and Ling Ji followed the stone path up to the mountaintop. On the mountaintop, the trees were lush, and flowers bloomed. There was a giant white crane soaring in the sky, flapping its wings from time to time, spreading a fragrant aroma around, refreshing the senses.

With the cry of the white crane, the birds around soared into the air, displaying their elegant postures.

The clear bird cries and distant flute sounds echoed on the mountaintop, as if in a fairyland.

Li Xun was so moved by this scene that she couldn't recover for a long time. She never imagined that there could be such a wonderful scenery in the world, intoxicating people.

It was like a dream, too unreal and beautiful.

"Mother... Are we in a dream now?" Li Xun looked up at the white crane soaring in the sky, somewhat confused.

"Of course it's a dream, you can freely release yourself." Ling Guang smiled softly, rubbing Li Xun's soft long hair.

Li Xun took a step forward and stood at the highest point of the mountain, feeling as if she were standing above all other mountains.

She slowly opened her arms and embraced the cool breeze. Her skirt swayed, and her garments danced in the wind. Her silver hair was tousled by the wind.

At this moment, an uncontrollable impulse surged in Li Xun's heart. She wanted to shout, to scream, to release the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

"Ah!!"

Li Xun shouted to the sky, her silver hair dancing wildly behind her, finally finding a release for her pent-up emotions.

"Ah... Ah ah ah..."

Her heart was filled with an uncontrollable excitement and exhilaration, as if breaking free from shackles, soaring freely in the blue sky and white clouds.

Ling Guang stood quietly aside, watching the girl screaming in the wind.

A relieved smile appeared on her lips. This Li Xun, was the most beautiful and real Li Xun she had ever seen, and also her beloved daughter.

After a while, Li Xun finally became tired of shouting and gradually calmed down.

At this moment, Li Xun leaped down from the mountaintop. Ling Guang, who was beside her, was shocked. "Li Xun!" She quickly looked down the cliff.

But she saw Li Xun spreading her bat wings and swiftly flying from below the cliff into the sky. She circled twice in the air and flew quickly towards the horizon.

Seeing this, Ling Guang breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Li Xun had lost hope and jumped off the cliff to end her life.

Li Xun looked at Ling Guang on the mountaintop, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she waved at Ling Guang.

Ling Guang looked at Li Xun's smile, a smile also appeared on her lips, and she nodded slightly.

"What a mischievous girl." Ling Guang sighed softly.

Li Xun soared in mid-air, overlooking the whole world. In this world, she felt an infinite sense of comfort and freedom. She extended her delicate fingers and waved in the air, creating ripples.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the breeze on her face. The whole world seemed to turn into a fantasy, everything was so ethereal, as if in a dream, but the dream was so beautiful.

This feeling was the life she had longed for, but how long could such a life last? No one could say for sure.

At this moment, a strong gust of wind blew and interrupted Li Xun's flying rhythm. Moreover, she had just learned to fly, and couldn't withstand such a hurricane. She was blown off balance and descended rapidly from the sky.

Ling Guang saw Li Xun being blown down by the hurricane, and was frightened.

She stepped on the edge of the cliff, leaped into the air, spread her golden-red wings, and swiftly flew towards Li Xun.

After flying a distance in the air, she suddenly turned and flew beneath Li Xun, firmly catching her.

Ling Guang held Li Xun in a princess carry, gently patting her back, and said kindly, "Li Xun, do you still want to play?"

"Hmm." Li Xun looked up at Ling Guang's face and said.

"Mother will play with you, okay?" Ling Guang smiled slightly.

"Yes!" Li Xun nodded heavily. She wrapped her arms around Ling Guang's neck and leaned against her in her embrace, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of this moment.

Ling Guang looked down at Li Xun's profile and couldn't help but smile.

Ling Guang carried Li Xun as they soared in the air. It would be so pleasant if they could fly like this forever. Li Xun couldn't help but yearn for it, wishing that this would never disappear.

After a while, Ling Guang flew with her daughter into the clouds. The view inside the clouds was even more magnificent, with the clouds appearing twisted and fluctuating in the wind.

"Mother, look! That cloud over there looks just like us now," Ling Ji pointed to a cloud in the distance and said to Ling Guang.

Upon hearing this, Ling Guang followed the direction she was pointing and indeed saw a cloud in the distance that resembled a blooming lotus, swaying gracefully in the wind.

She nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it does."

Ling Ji's gaze seemed somewhat trance-like. It seemed as if she saw a snake lady lashing a little girl with horns.

She shook her head, and the scene disappeared.

...

Ling Guang and Ling Ji played for an unknown amount of time until Ling Ji grew tired and fell asleep in Ling Guang's arms. Only then did Ling Guang stop flying.

She put Ling Ji on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then quietly left the room.
