"That's it?" Shen Qingqiu asked Xie Lian when his hands stopped glowing. His face was sweating, then he sat down looking exhausted and Feng Xin gave him a little bottle of red liquid, which he drank it all at once.

"Rejuvenation tonic." He answered Shen Qingqiu's questioning eyes. "And yes, it's finished. Xianxian is in his… or I should say, her new body now." Xie Lian chuckled, and his eyes glinted naughtily. He seemed suspiciously having too much fun with all this fiasco.

"Well, he must be very surprised later when he wakes up, which will be in…?"

"I have no idea." Xie Lian answered calmly. "This is the first time I do this kind of… thing, as a matter of fact." He calmly sipped the tea that was prepared by Feng Xin. "Too many unknown variables. But I'm pretty sure Xianxian will wake up… soon enough."

Shen Qingqiu was stunned. He didn't know if he wanted to strangle Xie Lian or stab him to death. But both actions were futile anyway since his dogs were around. Not to mention the newest puppy he acquired in the form of the Ghost King, who looked at him like he was some kind of a god or whatever. Well, he was some kind of a god, or whatever, so it made sense that Hua Cheng became so enamored, especially when Xie Lian gave him that smile that made his eyes crinkled. Shen Qingqiu could see Hua Cheng's gave Dianxia a heart eye back and he sighed.
 
Then he heard Lan Wangji groan.
 
Xie Lian quickly snapped his fingers and asked Feng Xin for the same red liquid, and gave it to Lan Wangji to drink. Hua Cheng took it and he carefully poured the liquid into Lan Wangji's mouth.

"How are you feeling, Wangji?" He propped Lan Wangji with his arms until he was half sitting.

"Like I've been hit by a bus." He clutched his heart where the array was placed before, and noticed that it was gone. "How's Wei Ying? Is it…?" He turned his head to try to see the body and groan in pain.

"We have succeeded, Lan Wangji. It's just a matter of time before Wei Ying is going to wake up. You need to rest for now, to regain the loss of blood. That was quite a loss there you know." Xie Lian answered him and offered him a glass of the dark liquid. "Tea?"

"How long until Wei Ying… wakes up?" Lan Wangji was anxious to find out if there's anything wrong with the soul transfer. He forced himself to stand up and came closer to observe the new body more closely.
 
The woman was very tall, almost 180 cm with a strong and lean body, and she was covered in some kind of black matte suit. She had a very beautiful mixed-race face, transparent and smooth skin, long dark lashes, straight nose, thin pink lips, dark long hair to her waist with bangs covering her forehead. In short, she looked like a woman version of the original Wei Wuxian. Lan Wangji wondered if this was all fate's doing. Then he touched her face softly. He could see that the skin was warm, just like a normal human. She looked like she was just asleep and waited for someone to kiss her to wake her up. But not now. He had to say his goodbye first.
 
Then he walked over to where Mo Xuanyu was laid down, and kissed his forehead lightly. His beautiful silver hair was cut short, and his face was pale, but it didn't lessen his beauty. And in his death, he finally looked like he was at peace.

"Thank you, Mo Xuanyu. I hope you will get reincarnated in a better condition than you had here, and I hope you will find your happiness." He whispered to him. No matter what had happened, this body had housed the soul of the only person he had ever loved, so he was grateful for it.

Chen Yu knocked and entered Xue Qing's room to find the girl was in the middle of wearing her boots.
"What are you doing?" He asked her, surprised that the girl was already up and about.

"What are you doing?" She tightened the last of the laces and wore her black leather jacket. "Ah, whatever, I'm off anyway. Thanks for your… whatever it was." She was ready to jump off the window when Chen Yu grabbed her hand.
"Wait! Why don't you use the front door? It's dangerous! And your injuries have not fully recovered yet, you should at least take today off."
