Bab 180: Until The Flames Died Down

Ying Yue stared at the lake where his husband smiled at him for the first time, where he kissed his lover a second time, where Wang Li told him-showed him how much he loved him. The stars looked like glitter on the water's surface, welcoming his student. Trying to calm his stuttering heart, he looked at the lotus in his hands and walked to the boat.

Li Hien looked peaceful and beautiful as she floated near the surface. Lying on the boat with her eyes closed, one would think she was sleeping.

"May you be at peace, Li Hien and… thank you for always being kind in every life I have met you," Ying Yue whispered and placed the lotus in the boat. He moved back and Han Mo moved to place his lotus into the boat. This continued until everyone had placed their flower into the carrier, but Fu Shen, Li Chu, and Li Yun.
