Li Biwei suddenly stepped back, her gaze as clear as autumn water.
After a long ti, a subtle smile appeared on her lips, as if she had seen through sothing.
"Second Brother, do you think that after I die, I'll go to Hell or Heaven?"
"Hell is in the Mortal World, and the gates of Heaven open only for the living. The dead have nothing," Li Changzhou said.
The road had co to an end, and the two of them arrived at the crossroads. Li Changzhou stopped.
He was about to bid farewell when Li Biwei suddenly said, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Usually, when soone says that, it's never a good question," Li Changzhou laughed, "You can ask, but I might not answer."
"It's okay if you don't answer."
"Go ahead and ask," Li Changzhou put his hands in his pockets.
Li Biwei looked at him and softly asked, "Second Brother, are you happy?"
Li Changzhou paused for a mont and then shifted his gaze.
By the roadside, there was a child from who knows which family, painting their nails with Impatiens balsamina. He rembered Li Qianxia did the sa thing when she was young.
Li Changzhou took his hand out of his pocket and gently patted Li Biwei's slender shoulder.
"Let's go."
Li Biwei watched Li Changzhou walk away. She didn't blink, yet he suddenly vanished from her sight.
She stood there in a daze, the surrounding scene blurred and swayed, turning into a piece of old tis, like a yellowed old photo.

Li Changzhou returned to the main tiline, took out that Gu Chain from the Beehive World, played with it for a while, and then put it away.
"Second Dog, what's there to sigh about when you're getting married!" Li Qianxia hurried back.
With Li Changzhou's mastery of space, others could now freely enter and exit the Beehive World without him needing to escort them.
Li Qianxia plopped onto a chair and lifted her chin slightly at him, "If there's sothing, tell , and I'll think of a way."
"It's nothing, just feeling sorry for Qing Lan and Turquoise Pool."
"What, you cheated?"
"...Because I'm marrying both of them, so I feel sorry."
"Humans can't live independently. You, King of Black Fog, wouldn't be here today without my nurturing, and Corpse Bone Gene has countless subordinates. So, people must work together, two people are always better than one, and more people are definitely better than two, so—"
"There's nothing wrong with opening a Harem!" she declared loudly.
"What's not wrong?" Yang Qinglan erged from her Constant Sand World.
"My brother said he's going to open a Harem!" Li Qianxia didn't even bat an eyelid.
"Do you think we're deaf?" Turquoise Pool also stepped out.
"Actually, what I wanted to say is," Li Qianxia said word by word, racking her brain for an excuse, "that my brother shouldn't waste ti feeling guilty. People should look ahead and find ways to make you happy, working harder at night is much better than feeling guilty."
Turquoise Pool sat down, drumming her fingers on the table, smiling, "What do you an by working harder at night?"
"Just... that," Li Qianxia looked bashful. "Qing Lan knows! Lanlan, tell us, what does working harder at night an?"
"The one working harder might not be your brother," Yang Qinglan responded, drawing from personal experience.
Li Qianxia said to Turquoise Pool, "See, I told you she gets it! Birds of a feather flock together; she's been influenced by my brother to beco a female rascal!"
"You're the one who asked , how does that make the rascal?" Yang Qinglan chuckled, "If you want to talk about birds of a feather, you've been with your brother for over twenty years. Shouldn't you be the female rascal?"
"Have you considered the possibility that I ca from the mud unsullied?" Li Qianxia said.
"Impossible," Yang Qinglan replied.
Turquoise Pool added, "And it shouldn't be."
"Bro, they're bullying !"
Li Changzhou looked at the three won in front of him.
Yang Qinglan was like mist, possessing the mist's haziness and ethereality;
Turquoise Pool was like a flower, with the flower's beauty, fragrance, and nobility;
Li Qianxia was like a skylark, evoking affection, making one want to cradle her in one's palm or tuck her in one's pocket.
They all had captivating charm.
He smiled, "It's about ti, let's go pick up Tianlu and the others."
Turquoise Pool took a deep breath.
Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia both laughed.
Li Changzhou also smiled as he looked at Turquoise Pool, who, out of nervousness, glared fiercely at him, as if it was all his fault.
... This reason couldn't be said to be entirely wrong.
Arriving at Academy City, they still waited in the chairman's office, and soon Yang Tianlu ca with the entire class.
"Dad, Mom, can my classmates also attend the wedding?" he asked.
"Of course," Li Changzhou nodded and smiled at the children, "Hello everyone, thank you for being friends with Tianlu and Yuyin."
The children curiously and timidly observed him.
Li Huoya quietly reported to Yang Qinglan on the side, "There are two little friends of Tianlu's in the group."
Friends?
Two of them?
The young mother Yang Qinglan remained composed, her voice soft, "Which two?"
"The one with short hair, and the one with long hair."
Yang Qinglan glanced over. They were the two prettiest little girls in the class, shy under her gaze.
"And," Li Huoya wasn't finished, "they hold hands all the ti."
...
Yang Qinglan knew that it was most likely just a child's way of expressing affection or mimicking adults, not aning much, but...
She relayed this to Li Changzhou, hoping he would give Yang Tianlu a good scolding.
But Li Changzhou was pondering: Is it character that determines fate, or is it fate that defines character?
Upon hearing, Turquoise Pool deeply worried for her unborn child. They certainly must not be spoiled by Yang Tianlu.
Li Qianxia had nothing to say, except giving her nephew a thumbs up of approval.
As an aunt in her twenties, she hadn't even held a man's hand yet.
Everyone teleported to the Divine Will Great Wall.
The wedding was held on a planet called 'Perfect Land,' which had been rated the most beautiful planet for a hundred thousand years in a row.
