Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 358 The Most Recent Parting
The voice of Heaven gradually faded into the distance, and "Song Xinci's" body aged rapidly, from decay to just a skeleton, all in the blink of an eye.

Beauty fades, bones wither; it seems Heaven is saying, do not let this become the fate of Song Xinci.

Yun Yi knew perfectly well that everything before him was an illusion, but when he actually saw this scene, his eyes still widened in horror.

The surrounding scenery was once again disrupted by a ripple, and the woman in front of him quickly grew flesh and blood, rejuvenated, and returned to her most beautiful form.

When the mysterious power dissipated, it was still the scene of Song Xinci personally opening the jade box.

This time, nothing changed, except for a single elixir quietly placed in the box.

It was as if everything was already destined.

The image of the elixir was reflected in Song Xinci's eyes, making it appear colorful. She asked, "Will eating it cure my strange illness?"

Yun Yi nodded with difficulty: "Yes."

The difficulty stemmed from his knowledge that the elixir could only cure the disease of "death," and once his wife recovered from the "Supreme Path of Forgetfulness," she might not be able to remember the past.

Heaven desires a person who is detached from worldly affairs, not a sentimental soul.

Song Xinci asked again, "Will eating it separate me from you?"

"Yes."

"Then you should decide when I should leave. Although... I can't fully understand many of your feelings, I still want you to make this decision."

Yun Yi put away the Zhixia Pill and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief; he really wasn't mentally prepared.

Or at least he needs time to say goodbye.

The news spread throughout the Flying Heaven Secret Realm, and everyone busied themselves with preparations: a banquet, countless fine wines, and smiling faces.

Everyone tacitly forgot the sadness of parting and indulged in the momentary joy of the present.

Nangong Zhuozhuo was the most unrestrained. In the past, Song Xinci's cultivation was too high, so she only dared to cling to Song's arm and act coquettishly. But tonight, she actually took advantage of the alcohol and kissed her hard.

She laughed in a roguish manner: "Little beauty, this young master has long wanted to kiss you!"

Zhuque grabbed the troublemaker and tossed him aside, saying, "If you can't drink, then don't drink. Stop trying to cause trouble while you're drunk!"

Nangong Zhuozhuo was indeed a little dizzy, and had no choice but to step back and make way.

She then moved closer to Song Xinci, the two almost touching, and whispered, "Excuse me, Miss."

Song Xinci raised an eyebrow in surprise, then looked intently at Zhuque, as if she had said nothing, yet as if she had said everything.

She secretly glared at Yun Yi, then suddenly realized that her departure might not be such a bad thing for him.

He has many female confidantes, so he must not be lonely.

Ye Nianyi then brought over a thick stack of storybooks, showing them off like a treasure, saying, "Sister Song, these are the storybooks that Zhuozhuo and I love to read. You can take them to heaven to read and relieve your boredom."

"Thank you, Nianyi."

"This one is a bit special. It's something I... I wrote these past few days. I was in a rush, so it's a bit hasty. You... you'll have to make do with it."

Ye Nianyi's face turned bright red, and Song Xinci curiously opened the brand-new storybook, discovering that the male protagonist was named Yun Yi and the female protagonist was named Song Xinci.

Zhuque explained, "This contains your and Yunyi's past experiences, which the three of us pieced together little by little. Although it's not very complete, after reading it, you'll definitely remember Yunyi and us."

Song Xinci parted her lips slightly, hesitated for a long time, unsure of what to say, and then gently pressed the storybook to her heart.

Even if she forgets everything, she can still feel everyone's genuine kindness towards her, and their good intentions are incredibly precious.

On the other side, Yun Yi was enjoying a hearty drink with Monkey Boss.

The eldest monkey, slightly tipsy, began to speak recklessly: "When I see the two of you, I'm reminded of Nangong Feitian and Qingqing."

Yun Yi: "I am not as good as Senior Brother Nangong. He is the one who is truly devoted."

"No, I just hope you don't follow in his footsteps! He's been dead for so many years, but he couldn't get over it. He tormented himself his whole life, and only death brought him relief."

Monkey Boss slammed the wine jar down with a loud "bang," and said in a gruff voice, "Yun kid, you better remember this! Let the living live, and let the dead die, that's the greatest principle in the world!" Zhi Lao Er rolled his eyes: "He's drunk again."

Old Camel Third also said disdainfully, "Starting to brag."

Bai Ze had already infiltrated a small group these days, and said in a low voice, "Should we put some hangover medicine in his drink?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the monkeys cursed, "How could you even think of that! Putting a hangover cure in the wine, do you want me to sober up or get drunk?!"

Bai Ze ran away immediately after being scolded, and went to Song Xinci, where he transformed into a whiny monster, begging for a pat.

Now that it has become one with the Heavenly Pillar, it naturally feels extremely close to Song Xinci. If it weren't for Yun Yi getting in the way every day, it would be eager to stick to the young lady's side every day.

Yunyi found that the more he drank, the more bitter the drink became, so he simply put down the cup and did nothing but quietly watch his wife.

The people around her were so enthusiastic that she was overwhelmed, and since she was only mortal, she became drunk after drinking very little.

Yun Yi made up his mind to wait until the next morning, when Song Xinci had lost her memory and was least burdened by guilt, so that he could give her the elixir to ascend to immortality.

Therefore, he no longer allowed her to fool around with Zhuozhuo and the others, and Yunyi carried his wife back to the bedroom.

Perhaps it was because he had drunk a lot of wine, or perhaps it was because the purpose of Heaven had been achieved, and he was no longer tormented by bitter and cold dreams.

Today, Song Xinci's complexion was rosy, and she looked healthier than ever before.

She clung to Yun Yi's neck like a little monkey, refusing to let go, and kept muttering, "I can still drink."

Yun Yi felt a headache coming on: "I never knew you had a talent for being an alcoholic."

"Bring me the wine!"

"Gone."

"Liar!"

"They really drank it all."

"Yun Yi, do you take me for a three-year-old?"

Yun Yi thought to himself, "It seems like he's not even as easy to coax as a three-year-old."

After finally coaxing Song Xinci into bed, Yun Yi held her tightly in his arms and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He noticed his wife's ears were bright red and seemed to twitch slightly, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Can't sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xinci immediately stood up and said, "Yes."

"what happened?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

"You can't bear to part with me?" Yun Yi said narcissistically.

Song Xinci glared at him: "I need to pack my things."

"It's ascension, not a trip, why are you suddenly packing?"

"What do you know, you big jerk?"

Song Xinci started to act quickly and decisively. Since she had no spiritual power and could not use the Sumeru Ring, she could only use the most rudimentary method.

Find a sturdy, durable piece of cloth, put the things you want to take inside, and make a bundle.

Yun Yi didn't offer any help; he simply watched his wife busy herself on her own.

Little did anyone know that Song Xinci had already made up her mind that she would remember certain people and events, even if it was beyond the control of fate.

Once I recover from my illness, I will definitely be with my husband forever.
