Till The End of The Moon (长月烬明)

What? You want to quit practicing the Heartless Way?

It's not like that, Father.

It's just that I'm still attached to him.

I don't think I'll ever

make a breakthrough.

I'm not fated to attain godhood.

I'm sorry that I let you down, Father.

Get up.

Susu,

you sure Jiumin is the one?

Mm. Would that be fine with you,

Father?

Oh, sweet pea, my opinion doesn't matter.

You know better than anyone

if he is a decent guy.

Besides, he was able to refine the Heart-guarding Scale.

And that's enough to prove that he has the kindest heart and the purest soul.

He's a reliable man you can count on.

Father…

It doesn't matter if you can't ascend.

Whatever your decision may be,

I just want you

to stay safe and happy.

If you ever find yourself on the wrong path,

just turn around.

I will always be there for you,

cookie.

That means a lot, Father.

And…

don't worry about

the evil bone.

I'll think of something.

Susu.

So you do have the evil bone.

Why didn't you tell me?

Do you have any idea how many

crave its power?

Was it Jiumin's idea to keep us in the dark?

He must be seeking a chance to retrieve the bone.

That's why he's sticking around.

No. That's not it.

He just found out a while ago.

I didn't want to tell anyone because I thought

the evil bone would cause catastrophic havoc.

How could you have been so careless?

You don't understand the scale of its power.

You may be of a pure spirit body

with the ability to keep out demonic energy,

but it's the evil bone we're talking about.

Even the Heavenly Pillar failed to contain it.

What makes you think you can?

I didn't have a choice.

I removed the evil bone using my divine essence,

only to realize it was indestructible.

So I had to seal it in me.

It was the Devil Sound Spell, again.

Baiyu,

I sent for you

because I've got a little job for you.

What exactly do you want?

Everyone knows

he no longer has the bone.

If anything,

he has no value to you anymore.

That is none of your concern.

Just bring me the devil fetus

and leave the rest to me.

But…

Don't forget

why you're here,

Baiyu.

Unless you want all of them to die,

you will do as you're told.

Understood.

Si Ying and Jing Mie are coming for Jiumin.

They haven't found out where the bone is, or have they?

I'd better get a move on.

Time is of the essence.

Susu,

after a lengthy discussion, your dad and I

decided to combine our powers to cast an array

for you at 12 midnight the day after tomorrow.

It's called the Yin-Yang Array.

To nullify the evil bone's power.

It's for our peace of mind.

Well, Father,

I know you two have been chewing it over

for the last 24 hours.

I can't describe how thankful I am.

Not to forget Uncle Zhaoyou.

He's been rushing around

making arrangements for my wedding.

This is a peaceful time for all three realms.

To our kind of people,

there's nothing bigger than

you marrying Jiumin.

Just know that we are really happy for you.

For now, put everything else behind you.

Speaking of which,

we owe a debt of gratitude to your other father here.

We were mistaken about him.

Since the Demon Subduing Peak indicent,

he's been feeling guilty for wrongly accusing Jiumin.

But being naturally unexpressive,

he left it unsaid.

When he heard the good news,

he offered to suppress the evil bone for you

at the risk of his powers being dried up.

He said that would be the only way

you and Jiumin

could live a carefree life.

"Call it a token of apology," as he said.

It's about time

you showed her the tiger.

This is…

a rooster-shaped stone?

Tiger.

He made it for you,

out of lava from the Barren Abyss.

He always wanted

to give it to you in person.

At the Barren Abyss, I thought about what to give you every day.

In most cases, giving kids tigers made of fabrics

is a more popular option.

There was nothing there

but stones.

The lava rocks were hard.

And I was weak.

I had to strike the rock

a little at a time.

Then one day, it finally looked like the shape I desired.

And you, my daughter whom I haven't seen in years,

are all grown up.

I did not do enough for you.

Now I just want to do whatever I can

to make amends.

Father,

I'll take good care of the tiger.

I have good news.

Both my fathers

have found a way to negate the evil bone.

They're going to cast a formation for that in three days

How did you birth father know

the bone was in your body?

He heard me talking to my other father

about it.

He isn't an outsider anyway.

And this may surprise you, but he's a very gentle man.

Relax, Jiumin.

As long as the evil bone's power is dampened,

you and I will live a long, peaceful life together.

Don't you want to have a full wedding ceremony this time?

Right.

Once you've completed your training,

I'll come and pick you up with bride token.

We'll get married again.

What makes you think I'll say yes?

Well,

Chief Qu did.

I have his permission to be by your side forever.

Too late to back out now.

Aren't you worried

I'll shoot nails into your body again?

So…

that's a yes?

Oh, you.

You only hear what you want to hear.

Now,

according to Mount Changze's tradition,

we're not allowed to see each other before the wedding.

Make sure you do a lot of planning and preparation.

Because my fathers just might call off the wedding

if you fail to meet their standards.

Okay.

I'll wait for you.

I'll bring enough betrothal gift

and pick you up at the pass.

It's your turn.

You old geezer,

what's wrong with you?

You don't play chess or drink.

Your mind

have wandered beyond the horizon.

This is something big.

Here.

Have a cup of tea first.

Wasn't I right about what happened

last time?

Don't make me look bad.

After your beloved disciple

joins Hengyang sect,

will you regret it?

Qu, thank you for saving Jiumin.

Even though he is a devil,

he faintly showed the image of god

when he mastered the Heart-guarding Scale.

[This is sufficient proof that he has a firm mind in cultivation.]
