With a Pure Heart and a Single Thought, Lotuses Bloom Everywhere [Hua Fang]

“Li Lianhua, where are you...” Fang Duobing had been searching for Li Lianhua for three years, but had made no progress. He had searched every place he could think of where Li Lianhua might have gone, and found nothing.

That night, Fang Duobing sat alone outside the Lotus Tower, drinking away his sorrows. Over the past three years, he had picked up the habit of drinking. He stroked Foxy while he drank, then looked up at the full moon. Before his eyes appeared Li Lianhua's face.

In those three years, Fang Duobing had come to understand his feelings for Li Lianhua. His love for him was etched into his very bones. On this cold night, he had drunk, admired the moon, and thought of him. It was time to end this... He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the biting pain of the cold wind, and thought of Li Lianhua again. “Huahua, I miss you so much...”

Suddenly, a butterfly flew past Fang Duobing. Time slowed, and the butterfly beat its wings before him. But where could a butterfly come from in the middle of winter? In the blink of an eye, Fang Duobing vanished...

In a house in a fishing village, Li Lianhua curled up in agony on the bed. The Bicha Poison had flared up, and he felt as though every meridian in his body were about to snap. His senses failed him, and he spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

“Though the Grieving Wind and White Poplar and Yangzhou Slow have protected my heart meridian, I can't escape this day after all... Cough, cough, cough...” For some reason, Li Lianhua suddenly missed Fang Duobing, his smile and his voice.

The butterfly beat its wings as it flew past Li Lianhua. In the blink of an eye, he too vanished...

Where had they gone?
