Nothing could have made Zheng-Fu so regretful and devastated since the incident of his mother's capture. This time, the person he loved the most was about to leave him. Although he knew that bringing Fu-Er out like this would hasten her death, it was her request. No matter how much he wanted to refuse, he couldn't. If he denied her wish, she would bite her tongue and end her life. Yet, fulfilling her request would also result in her death. It was the most painful decision he had ever faced.

"Don't blame yourself. Don't be angry at yourself, and don't live in misery because of me. Keep living and become the strongest in the world. Rise to the top and make every world better. I'll always cheer you on and stay by your side," Fu-Er said with whatever strength she had left. Although there were many things she wanted to say to Zheng-Fu, her limited energy meant she could only say what would help him move forward without her.

"You don't need to say anything right now. Just a little further, and we'll reach the transporting magic gate. Then we can go up and see the beautiful sky and fields of grass!" Zheng-Fu replied, trying to prolong her time as much as possible, he told her not to say anything right now, or else her life energy would be drained quickly. He continuously transferred his energy to her, slowing the decline of her life energy.

"Mmm!!!"

At the ancient pavilion…

"What did you say? Elder Hou-Shen dared to assist the Demon Tribe?" Elder Wan-Shi's voice was filled with shock and displeasure after hearing Elder Ming-Ren and Elder Ying-Bai recount the events.

"I've been wondering why he was acting so strange. It turns out he was scheming from the beginning! If I had been with you two, I wouldn't have let him escape, even if he used the Dimension-Distorting Stone!" Elder Diao-Dek said angrily. He lamented not being there with the other elders, as he had a magic item that could have negated the stone's effect.

"Come on, what's done is done. Dwelling on it changes nothing. Reporting this incident to our main sects is what matters now. Elder Hou-Shen wouldn't dare step foot in this small world again. If he does, it'll be his death. As for the disciple he had his eyes on, he's probably already been taken back to the main world. Tomorrow, we'll gather our disciples and return to our sects," Elder Shui-Qiao interjected, summarizing the situation and suggesting the next steps.

"Elder Shui-Qiao is right. Let's gather our disciples and return to the main world. Once we report this, no devil sect or demon sect will ever be able to enter this lower world again!" Elder Ming-Ren shared the same thoughts as the elderly woman. Normally, he wouldn't have been this calm, but this time, Elder Ming-Ren understood well which matters were of great importance and which were less significant...

"Mm!!!"

"Then tomorrow, we'll pick up our disciples. Whoever gathers all of theirs first can leave; no need to wait!" Elder Wan-Shi nodded to the two of them before instructing anyone who had gathered all the disciples they needed to proceed with their journey. As for himself, he would be the last to return...

"Agreed! All my disciples should be ready today since they've been at the Primordial Winter Mountain Peak Sect since childhood. It won't take long for them to say their goodbyes," Elder Shui-Qiao added, confident that her sect would be the first to return to the main world. Since the young women from the Primordial Winter Mountain Peak Sect had all been in the sect since childhood, their family consisted of everyone within the sect. Therefore, it should take them very little time to say their farewells...

"Same here. The three disciples of the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven are prepared. We should also be ready to leave today!" Elder Diao-Dek agreed. The disciples he planned to take with him had all finished preparing...

"Me too."

"Mine as well."

The three elderly men and one elderly woman all shared the same opinion: their disciples were fully prepared. They expected that once they went to retrieve them, those disciples would be ready to depart immediately...

"Hmm! If that's the case, let's proceed as agreed. However, I might take a little more time. That young man hasn't made up his mind yet. If he decides to take his life after his wife, it would be a great loss. I'll have to go speak with him." Elder Wan-Shi thought that he should go and have a word with Zheng-Fu. Talents like Zheng-Fu were not easily found in this small world, so he couldn't afford to let anything happen to him...

Wooooooosh!!!

After crossing the Holy Ancient Region, Zheng-Fu headed directly to his Noah Zeppelin. Without hesitation, he commanded it to ascend into the sky and move away from In-See City, steering toward various beautiful mountain ranges within Blue Land.

Woooosh!!!

The sudden ascension of the Noah Zeppelin startled and shocked everyone in the denomination. However, the surprise lasted only a moment. Knowing there was no one else who could control it except their denomination founder, the denomination members, including Hai-Dong and Dong-Kuang, immediately concluded that it was Zheng-Fu.

At the main building of the denomination...

"Little brother is back. But who's with him? She seems very weak. Her life energy is so low that it's scary. If it weren't for the energy transfer, she wouldn't have survived!" Hai-Dong said after sensing Zheng-Fu's presence along with that of another person who appeared to be in critical condition.

"She could be Mistress. But Young Master said she was in the Winter Coffin, so why...?" Dong-Kuang suddenly recalled the story Zheng-Fu had told about Fu-Er and speculated that the person accompanying him might be her. However, he believed the likelihood was only about fifty percent.

"My sister-in-law? Is it possible? If that's really my sister-in-law, Little Brother wouldn't have brought her in such a state!" At first, Hai-Dong dismissed the idea that the person Zheng-Fu brought with him was Fu-Er, but Dong-Kuang's explanation made him consider that it might be true.

"Whether it's her or not, Little Zheng-Fu must have his reasons for doing this. We shouldn't interfere. I can feel the sorrow in his energy wave," Elder Hai-Tu interrupted, advising the two to refrain from dwelling on the matter. He could sense an overwhelming sadness emanating from Zheng-Fu, a sadness he recognized from his own experiences of losing loved ones.

"We understand!"

Both young men acknowledged the elder's wisdom. Although worried about Zheng-Fu, they decided to support him silently from afar.

Back at the Noah Zeppelin…

Wooooooosh!!!

After ascending into the sky, Zheng-Fu let the Noah Zeppelin drift slowly in the wind, allowing them to take in the scenery of the sky and the world below.

"That day, we rode on Jin-Tian's back and admired the beauty of the scenery together. But after that incident, we had to separate. Today, Jin-Tian has left us, and now I'm about to leave you too. However, before I die, I still have the chance to enjoy this view with you, in your embrace, and look at your face one last time. I... Argh!"

"I understand. Don't say anything heartbreaking right now. Look! That cloud looks like a monkey, don't you think?" Zheng-Fu interrupted, unable to bear hearing the word "die" from her lips. Even though he knew it was inevitable, he tried to make their remaining time together as happy as possible.

"Yes, it does. And it even looks like your face!" Fu-Er knew her words were inappropriate, but to help Zheng-Fu face reality, she had to say these words. Even though she didn't know how Zheng-Fu would feel about it, all she wanted was to bring him some happiness in the present moment.

"You're saying my face looks like a monkey? Fine! Look at my face now!" Zheng-Fu exaggeratedly made a monkey face, trying to amuse her.

"Oops!!! Ha ha ha!!! Are you trying to make me laugh to death? Then try making a pig face!" Seeing Zheng-Fu make a monkey face, Fu-Er laughed until her stomach hurt. But that wasn't enough—Fu-Er even asked Zheng-Fu to make a face like a pig.

"All right! But don't blame me when your stomach aches!"

Flop!!!

Oink!!!

Ha ha ha!!!

"E... Enough! Enough! I'm laughing so much it hurts! I... I... Aaah!!!" While Fu-Er was laughing happily, suddenly, a sharp pain arose in her heart. It began to squeeze her heart, causing it to beat more and more slowly...

"Fu-Er!!!"

Her sudden symptoms made Zheng-Fu turn pale. He hadn't expected his actions to worsen her condition.

"I... I... can't bear it any longer. The poison is recurring, and your energy is almost gone. Don't force yourself anymore. I've seen the beautiful sky and earth with you as I wished. I don't want anything more. I can die without regret."

The poison had progressed more quickly because Zheng-Fu's energy reserves were nearly depleted from his earlier efforts to repair the Winter Coffin.

"No! You can't leave me now! We haven't yet seen the sky or the green fields. There are still so many beautiful places to explore. You must stay and watch…"

"Zheng-Fu! Stop deceiving yourself. Accept reality and live with it. Even if I die and leave this world, my heart will always be with you... forever..."

Woooooooosh!!!

As Fu-Er spoke, a golden beam suddenly shone down on her and Zheng-Fu as they stood on the Noah Zeppelin. The beam began lifting Fu-Er's body upwards, and no matter how much Zheng-Fu tried to stop it, he couldn't. It was as if an unseen force was holding him back.

"My heart will be with you!"

Flap!!!

That was the last thing Fu-Er said before her figure disappeared with the golden beam, leaving nothing behind. It was as if everything that had happened was just a dream.

"Fu-Er!!!!!!!"

AAAAAARRRGH!!!

GROOOOOAN!!!

Zheng-Fu's roar echoed across Blue Land, shaking the ground and sky. Even kingdoms thousands of lis away could feel the tremors from his energy.

"That's the Heaven Beam, which delivers miracle items to the central territory of the main world!"

Huh!!?
