“Okay.” Ling Ji replied quite obediently, as if they were back to years ago. The young man told her, I’ll take you to see my master and then get married when we come back. They were sweet, happy, and she replied yes to everything.
Feng Luo used his spiritual power to draw a complicated and complex formation on Ling Ji’s body. Then, a majestic power was transmitted through the Bronze Sword and into Ling Ji’s body.
“Nngg!” Ling Ji frowned. She felt discomfort and pain.
Feng Luo suddenly exerted himself and embraced Ling Ji into his arms. “Don’t move. You’ll be fine in a while.”
“Okay.” Ling Ji quietly closed her eyes and let the evil qi in her body pass by a little.
As time went by, the opposing evil qi and spirit qi gradually merged together, and finally formed an enormous air mass with gold outside and red inside.
“Qing Ling.”
Hearing Feng Luo’s call, Ling Ji opened her eyes again. She was surprised to find herself floating in the air, while Feng Luo was sitting on the ground tilting his head to call her.
“Feng Luo, what’s happening to me?” Princess Ling Ji had seen ghosts before. She knew what was happening to her, but she was already a drought demon, so how could her soul leave her body?
“Nngg!” Feng Luo grunted. A red glow flashed in his eyes, which gradually turned redder. Finally, it turned into a pair of bloodshot eyes that Ling Ji was all too familiar with.
“Feng Luo, what’s wrong with your eyes? What did you do just now?” Ling Ji wanted to get close to Feng Luo, but she couldn’t get close. It was as if there was a transparent barrier between them.
“Qing Ling, in the future… be good.” Feng Luo suddenly smiled.
“What do you mean?”
Before Feng Lou could answer her, the golden light within the barrier suddenly contracted. It wrapped all the evil qi, turned into a stream of light and rushed up to the sky, instantly disappearing in the horizon.
When Ling Ji looked down again, all she saw was Feng Luo’s body in front of her which was crumbling into dust little by little. When a gust of wind blew, the dust mixed with the yellow sand and drifted away.
“Feng Luo used a forbidden technique to absorb your evil qi, so the evil qi in the Third Brother is actually…” Chen Yu finally understood.
“That’s right.” Ling Ji nodded.
“No wonder that of all the people under the sky, I am the only one who is not affected by Third Brother’s evil qi. It turns out that the evil qi on him was originally absorbed from me.” Chen Yu murmured, “It turned out that it was me who harmed Third Brother.”
“To be exact, it was me, not you.” Ling Ji shook her head and said, “After death, people will enter reincarnation, and all their past will be forgotten. In the end, Feng Luo told me to be good in the future because he knows that after reincarnation, I won’t remember him anymore.”
“How can this be?” Feng Luo sacrificed so much for Ling Ji, only to have her forget all about him after her reincarnation?
“Exactly, ah. How can this be?” Ling Ji laughed bitterly, “But I can’t guarantee that I will love Feng Luo in every reincarnation, nor can I make him love me in every reincarnation. I left this memory, not so that my reincarnation will also love Feng Luo, but for the sake of his evil qi. If his evil qi is not eliminated, Feng Luo will stay lonely and widowed and live a rough life because of it.”
This was also what Feng Luo’s master said when he found Ling Ji, who was stranded on the mountainside after Feng Luo’s death.
The valley, which had been turned into yellow earth by the erosion of the evil qi, was once again green and lush. When Perfected Qi Yang came looking for her, Ling Ji was sitting on the grass in a daze.
“I am Feng Luo’s master, Perfected Qi Yang,” Perfected Qi Yang faintly observed the female ghost on the grass.
“Master?” Ling Ji suddenly returned to her senses.
“Before Feng Luo’s departure, he begged me to send you to reincarnation.” Although Feng Luo had absorbed Ling Ji’s evil qi, Ling Ji was no longer a normal ghost after all, so she needed a Celestial Master to send her to the underworld.
“What about Feng Luo?” Ling Ji asked.
“Feng Luo absorbed your evil qi, and it will accompany his soul into reincarnation. He will be a widow for life, and he will not live past thirty in each life,” Perfected Qi Yang replied.
“How could… How could this happen? I didn’t ask him to do this. Who told him to do this?” Ling Ji kept questioning, but could not find anyone to answer her.
“Do you want to save him?” Perfected Qi Yang asked.
Ling Ji’s head snapped up.
“A drought demon’s evil qi cannot be resisted by ordinary people. Feng Luo’s reincarnation will slowly exude his evil qi as he grows older. The evil qi will affect people around him, and he will be regarded as a monster. He will be abandoned by his family, be expelled, beaten and even killed.”
Ling Ji’s heartache made her gasp in pain.
“Only you, if you are reincarnated, will be the only one who won’t be affected by his evil qi.”
“I want to go. Master, please send me to reincarnation, send me to Feng Luo,” Ling Ji cried and begged.
“I will leave a memory within your soul, and at the same time leave an engraved mark. This memory will let you remember past events at the right time, and the engraved mark will let you open your Yin Yang eyes.” Qi Yang said, “With Yin Yang eyes, you will have a fate with my sect and have a better chance of meeting the reincarnated Feng Luo.”
“I have here the technique to eliminate Feng Luo’s evil qi. You… Remember, only you can save Feng Luo.”
“Shishi, Shishi, Shishi…” Lou Ming rushed to the Shen family villa under the Qingmang Mountain overnight and kept watch over the unconscious Chen Yu for a while. In the middle of the night, Chen Yu suddenly cried silently. Lou Ming couldn’t help but call out to her.
“Boo-hoo-hoo…” Chen Yu wept mournfully, convulsing non-stop in Lou Ming’s arms.
“Shishi, wake up.” Her cry made Lou Ming panic.
Chen Yu woke up in a daze. When she saw Lou Ming in front of her, she thought he was in her dream: “Third Brother?”
“You’re awake. Are you having a nightmare? Don’t be afraid,” Lou Ming soothed her.
“Third Brother, I want to marry you. I want to have children with you. I want to be with you for life.”
Lou Ming was between tears and laughter when he received a confession out of the blue. “All right. I’ll listen to you.
“Third Brother, I will treat you well, very well.”
“Okay.” Lou Ming coaxed while wiping Chen Yu’s tears.
The author has something to say.

When Elder Wu was a naughty child, he lived in the impoverished village of Damu.
The naughty child could not sleep in the middle of the night, so he escaped to the deep mountains where he met a beauty akin to a fairy.
Fairy: If you can break into my barrier, it means that you and I are destined.
The snotty naughty kid: This dog kid doesn’t know what destiny means.
Fairy: Dog kid, can you please do me a favor?
The naughty child nodded heavily.
The fairy pointed to a flower seedling in the middle of the valley and said: Help me water the flower every day until she blooms.
The naughty child promised the fairy and ran to the valley every day. Although he never saw the fairy again, he still watered the flower every day. One day, the flowers bloomed and grew into a little girl.
Afterward, the naughty kid never saw the flower seedling he had carefully watered for two years ever again.
