Fan Lan Art

Li Wuyou was born without a spiritual root, yet he's the only person who can touch Corrosive Heart spiritual energy with his bare hands. When the Corrosive Star Flower runs rampant inside Ouyang Fanxing, he becomes the sect's only antidote. “Don't be afraid.” His fingertips brush her brow. “This spiritual energy is nothing but sugar to me.” Only later does she realize that every time he feels her pulse, he is swallowing the Corrosive Heart poison for her. When Li Wuyou finally turns into a statue of Corrosive Star Stone, Ouyang Fanxing at last understands the farewell hidden in his smile. “Fool,” she says, holding the cold stone statue. “This sugar… is bitter enough to pierce the bone.”
