"Xiao Mu, what... what are you talking about?"
"Sister Wu, I’m not deceiving you, I just wanted to let you see Fugui one last ti. It’s just..."
"Just what?"
Most won are emotional creatures. As soon as she heard that her beloved dog was right in front of her, even if only in spirit, Wu Xiuli didn’t want to miss this final opportunity.
"It’s just... its appearance is a bit unsightly... half of its face is gone."
After a mont of silence, Wu Xiuli suddenly said, "Let see it, please. It has been with since it was a month old, and it has brought so much joy over these six years. In my heart, it’s like a son to ."
Nodding, you bit your own finger and dabbed a bit of blood on Wu Xiuli’s closed eyelids.
When Wu Xiuli opened her eyes, she couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise and once again, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
She felt not the slightest fear, but imdiately crouched down, trying to embrace the Shiba Inu, but no matter how she tried, she couldn’t reach it.
The Shiba Inu wagged its tail at Wu Xiuli, stuck out its tongue, and licked the tears from Wu Xiuli’s face. Strangely enough, Wu Xiuli’s cheeks actually dried.
The Shiba Inu wagged its tail again at Wu Xiuli and barked a few tis, then perford several of Wu Xiuli’s favorite actions from when it was alive. Afterward, it turned and slowly vanished in the corridor amidst Wu Xiuli’s calls.
"Fugui... Fugui..."
"Sister Wu, my condolences."
Wu Xiuli was crying hard, and at that mont, her husband, Zhang Guoshi, finally arrived.
As a couple of many years, Zhang Guoshi naturally understood his wife’s disposition. He was worried she might suffer from excessive grief, so he rushed over imdiately.
"Xiao Mu, thank you."
You smiled and watched Zhang Guoshi embracing his wife as they walked downstairs.
"How nice, a young couple supporting each other for a lifeti, it’s truly enviable."
At so point, the voice of the eighty-nine-year-old elder sister sounded behind you.
You turned around and bowed deeply to her, "Elder sister, thank you so much for your help this ti. If it weren’t for the notebook and talisman you gave , I might not have been able to return."
"If you’re really thankful, then give your sister a sweet kiss as compensation."
Saying this, the little old lady brought her wrinkled cheek close to you.
You were taken aback at first, but then smiled and placed a light kiss on her cheek.
With that kiss, your entire body jolted as if electrified! A sensation that made your heart and mind surge flowed through every cell in your body, nearly causing you to blissfully faint.
Once you had co back to your senses, the old lady was grinning and said, "How about that, young man? Elder sister’s cheek is still pretty soft, isn’t it?"
Scratching your head, you truly didn’t know what to say all of a sudden.
That strange feeling made you start paying more attention to this lady who would appear before you every now and then.
"Hey, Xiao Mu, how about we make a deal?"
"Please speak."
"I have a granddaughter coming over the day after tomorrow. I’ll be moving out today, off to an elderly care ho in the countryside to enjoy my ti. So, I’d like you to help take care of her from ti to ti."
"Don’t worry, I will care for her as if she’s my own sister!"
Thinking of the old lady’s grace, you imdiately nodded in agreent, without any hesitation.
"That’s good, that’s very good."
The old lady spoke, then with her hands clasped behind her back, she slowly, very slowly, ascended the stairs.
Watching the old lady’s receding figure, a strange, wistful sense of parting suddenly arose in your heart. Given her age, perhaps you would never have the chance to see her again...
"What are you looking at?"
A pleasant voice suddenly rang out beside your ear, followed by a faint waft of fragrance.
Without turning around, you knew that it was Xian Qianling who had arrived.
Although the two of you hadn’t officially beco boyfriend and girlfriend, the relationship had indeed progressed significantly compared to the beginning.
Xian Qianling lifted the plastic bag in her hand and said to you, "Hey, I bought quite a lot of groceries, help cook them tonight, won’t you?"
Seeing the bag full of fresh ingredients, you responded with a wry smile, "How can three people finish all this?"
"Three people? It’s just the two of us," Xian Qianling exclaid in surprise, thinking that Zhao’er might have gotten there first.
"And Little Luli?"
You looked behind Xian Qianling and realized that Luli, who was usually as close as a shadow, was absent.
"Little Luli? She went ho this morning."
"Ho?" You were startled. Ever since you knew of Little Luli’s existence, she had never ntioned her own ho or her biological parents.
"Yes, a very distant place; she probably won’t be back for a while."
"Oh." You nodded sowhat dejectedly. Although she wasn’t related to you by blood, you had truly co to regard her as a family mber.
"Let’s go, I’m hungry. Let’s start cooking."
Xian Qianling slid her hand under your arm and embraced it like a loving little wife, her voice so sweet it nearly lted your bones...
At this mont, in the Sen Luo Celestial Territory.
Ever since the Dark Ghost Domain was renad Sen Luo Celestial Territory, everything here had undergone a complete transformation. To put it in Western terms, it had gone from Hell to heaven.
Under the absolute power of Yun Chu and Suyi, no demons or evil ghosts within the domain dared to cause a stir. Everyone silently accepted the changes, and soon after, they discovered that they felt more at peace in this environnt than before.
Especially Luli—"Wow!!!"
Summoned back by Suyi, Luli joyously ran about in front of her palace, like an innocently exuberant young girl.
"Daddy, Mommy, there are so many beautiful flowers here."
Luli’s bell-like laughter echoed from within the flower bushes.
On the palace balcony, Yun Chu held Suyi close by her slender waist and chuckled softly, "It seems that this decision was the right one. Look how happy Luli is laughing."
Suyi nestled happily in Yun Chu’s embrace. Seemingly reminded of sothing, she said to Yun Chu, "Just now, Luli ntioned that Zhao’er and the others seem to know where Mu Yun is, and they have moved in close by, apparently planning to stimulate Mu Yun’s Seal of Truesky from the sidelines. There’s no problem with that, right?"
Yun Chu thought for a mont then said, "As long as they’re discreet, it’s fine."
"Discreet?" The doubt in Suyi’s heart was stirred once more by Yun Chu’s answer. "Husband, why do you always speak so evasively, as if you’re hiding sothing?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "It’s not that I’m hiding sothing, but Mu Yun and the others need to be cautious."
"Cautious of whom?"
Yun Chu didn’t reply but instead pointed upwards to the sky.
Suyi furrowed her brows and said solemnly, "Why would they need to monitor Mu Yun?"
"The mont the Heavenly Stamp was activated, it inevitably drew their attention. However, since Luli obscured their view at that ti, they temporarily do not know who activated the Heavenly Stamp. Otherwise, do you think Mu Yun and the rest could live as carefree as they are now?"
