Love and Destiny (宸汐缘)

High mountains, flowing rivers, peace and quiet, or billowing waves,

all are kindness.

With the love and protection you gave me,

I surely will open my liver and drip my gall (wholeheartedly) to repay you, not regretting it even if I die a hundred times.

With our teacher-disciple relationship, no need to say these words.

If I do not say it now, I fear that I might not have the chance to say them again.

Jiuchen, what are you planning to do?

I already know that matter about Spirit-Binding Abyss.

What do you plan to do? You must not do foolish things.

If the teacher has problems to deal with, it is just right and proper for his disciple

to take up the job.

Moreover, I am the god of war.

It is my duty to eliminate demons, preserve righteousness, and guard all living creatures.

I am still alive.

It is not your turn to do this job.

Respected Teacher, you cannot die.

You still have to lead the wedding of Yunfeng.

You still have to teach his children.

With Yunfeng's personality, once I am gone,

once you are gone, he would surely cause huge trouble.

Jiuchen, do not be willful.

You still have good days ahead of you.

You and Ling Xi are about to get married. You will have children of your own.

You have the chance to walk a different immortality path.

Listen to me and do not act rashly!

Shanling Tribe's State Preceptor Jingxiu is still a fugitive.

It was his doing that the gates of the netherworld is opening up.

Time and tide wait for no man. I do not have much time anymore.

May Respected Teacher be more careful and guard against it as soon as possible.

And Ling Xi. She is the only person in this world that I worry about.

Hope you can take good care of her.

Do not let anyone bully her.

Jiuchen!

Jiuchen!

I will leave now.

Hope Respected Teacher

take good care of yourself, be happy and just follow your heart.

I will just repay my great debt of gratitude in the next life.

Jiuchen! Jiuchen! Come back here!

I am just going to Spirit-Binding Abyss to suppress the demons there

and not really dying. Why are you crying?

No pain is more severe than separation due to death.

No distance is farther than between yin and yang. You will be guarding the bottom of the abyss forever.

How is that different from eternally being separated due to death?

Since you were petrified, Doctor Qingyao was in extreme grief.

She stayed in the Self-Realization Cliff all day to accompany you.

Once you regain your identity, remember to marry her. Do not disappoint her.

I am going now.

Senior Brother!

No need to send me off.

Ling Xi.

Jiuchen. Let us see how long you can hold on.

Do not know why but I kept having nightmares lately.

My heart is uneasy and I cannot sit still.

We have not seen each other for so many days. Are you alright?

Are you alright?

[I am not a good choice and we are not compatible. May you not delay your life for me.]

State Master! Something bad has happened!

High God Yunfeng's stone statue has shattered.

How did this happen? Where is my Senior Sister?

We already sent someone to inform her.

Senior Sister.

Why did this happen?

What happened to him?

Yunfeng.

Why did this happen?!

Yunfeng...

Is he not a high god?

How could he die?

Fairy Qingyao, we also do not know what is going on.

Yunfeng.

- This matter... - Yunfeng.

Senior Sister.

I do not believe it!

He is a high god. How could he die?

Senior Sister!

I do not believe it. Yunfeng.

Yunfeng. I do not believe it.

Yunfeng.

No.

I do not believe it.

Yunfeng...

Did Yunfeng really die from the lightning punishment?

He is a high god so how could...

Could it be he was killed by someone else? Does Jiuchen know about this?

Shisan is the one who informed, so Senior Deity surely knew.

How come he is not showing himself?

- How is Sister? - Where is Jiuchen?

He should be in Fuyun Hall.

With a huge matter like this happening, he did not show himself?

I do not know.

I will personally go ask him. Take good care of Senior Sister. I will be right back.

High God Yunfeng is really dead?

Yes.

How is that possible?

Senior Deity is inside and has not come out?

I fear that something bad must have happened.

What?

Ling Xi, calm down.

Senior Deity must have important matters holding him up. Or else, he will not ignore this matter.

Or maybe, he is cultivating in seclusion.

He is thinking of ways to save High God Yunfeng.

- Jiuchen. - Ling Xi! Ling Xi!

Ling Xi.

Jiuchen, come out here.

Ling Xi, Senior Deity might be...

- Ling Xi, what are you doing? - Ling Xi.

Are you in a fight with Senior Deity?

Even if you are, you cannot turn to violence.

Moreover, even if you do, you cannot win against him.

Appease your anger, Ling Xi.

Jiuchen. If you do not give me an explanation today,

I will not go back.

What explanation?

What does this letter mean?

I already said it very clearly in that letter.

Clear?

I am not a good choice and we are not compatible.

May you not delay your life for me.

This is the clear explanation you are talking about?

Jiuchen, what is wrong with you?

What has happened?

Are you going to do some dangerous thing?

Is it connected to what recently happened to Yunfeng?

Jiuchen, have you forgotten the words

you told me?

I am already not that minor immortal from Peach Forest.

No matter what happens, I can face it with you.

If you have any predicament, tell me.

Let us think of a solution together, okay?

I have no predicaments.

Then why?

Talk! Talk!

Ling Xi,

when you were in the mortal world, I personally went down there to help you go through your love tribulation.

Helped you be promoted to the high god position.

For me, you are also my tribulation.

Now, my fate with the mundane world has been severed.

I will not encounter anymore disasters.

Starting today, I will be going into seclusion to cultivate.

Try to comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth.

Romantic follies are no longer in my heart.

I do not believe it. I do not believe it.

I do not believe it.

That is your matter.

Ling Xi. Gathering and separation are all fated.

Do not force it.

Jiuchen, open the door.

Jiuchen. Jiuchen, open the door, okay?

Open the door, okay?

Open the door! Jiuchen!

Jiuchen...

Jiuchen!

Jiuchen...open the door.

Jiuchen.

You encounter a problem, am I right?

Very dangerous. Very hard to resolve.

That even you have your hands bound and is at a loss on what to do.

Jiuchen, no matter what happened,

tell it to me, okay?

Look, I am now a high god too.

What matter cannot be resolved by us together? Am I right?

Jiuchen.

Can you hear me?

Jiuchen. Do not be like this, okay?

If you are like this,

I...will get scared.

Ling Xi.

Ling Xi. Ling Xi.

How many days have passed?

16 days.

Senior Deity is still inside? He has not come out?

Jiuchen, I am leaving.

I know that you have encountered a problem.

You refuse to tell me.

Fine, I will not force you anymore.

But, remember this. We have exchanged our marriage books.

I am your wife.

Whatever you promised me,

you cannot deny they exist.

You are not allowed to take them back.

No matter what happens,

you cannot leave me behind.

Ling Xi!
