Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Four Symbols Mountain, the Heavenly Dimension.

The purple-gold sky suddenly cracked open, and two figures fell from the crack one after another. They were none other than the Absolute Ancestor and the Central Immortal Emperor, who had been swallowed into the dark vortex not long ago.

Before the duo from Taiming Realm had even landed, the lotus flower suspended above the pool had already turned crimson.

The lotus petals extended upwards, drawing the two people into the center of the lotus platform.

The rotating lotus transformed into the finest alchemy furnace, and formless, intangible flames rose from the lotus platform, roasting the Heavenly Ancestor and the Central Immortal Emperor until they completely lost consciousness.

In their daze, they seemed to hear a faint voice.

"When the auxiliary materials arrive, the red lotus is formed; the Heavenly Way unites; and all realms are divided..."

"You don't need to worry about this matter, young friend. Just focus on achieving enlightenment."

……

Starfall Domain.

The moment the Heavenly Dao Space reached perfection and the three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws manifested, the entire Starfall Domain stirred.

Standing in the courtyard, Mu An took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the Nine Realms.

The instant it disappeared, everyone in Qing'an Residence closed their eyes and immersed themselves completely in the Great Dao.

Only Qinghe, who seemed indifferent, and Bailing, who was deep in thought, remained still.

The two women exchanged a glance and walked towards the courtyard.

The two walked one after the other to the foot of the ancient camphor tree and sat down at the same time.

Without much small talk, Bai Ling directly asked Qing He about her worries.

"Little Qinghe, I don't know why, but over the years, I've always felt that something is not quite right, as if I've forgotten something very important."

I remember this was a very important matter, but I can't recall it at all. I only know that it must be related to my master and grandmaster.

"Qinghe, you are the person closest to our grandmaster. Do you know what he really wants to do?"

In the blink of an eye, the thick purple-gold clouds in the sky had disappeared, replaced by a sky full of stars.

In the blink of an eye, the seasons changed.

Thousands of stars suddenly lit up, and under the guidance of an invisible Daoist aura, they slowly moved toward the Nine Realms.

The starry sky grew brighter and brighter, and boundless starlight poured down from the depths of the star sea, enveloping the entire Starfall Domain.

Without immediately answering Bai Ling's question, Qing He, sitting under the tree, looked up, her dreamy gaze peering through the gaps in the leaves at the starry sky above.

After staring at the changing starry sky for a while, she looked away and poured herself and Bai Ling a cup of spirit wine each.

"The gentleman is a sentimental person, extremely sentimental."

Qinghe's voice was very soft, so soft that only she and Bailing could hear it.

"The emperor of the Mu family, our Qing family's ancestor, the somewhat unreliable Senior Ao Yun, and Sister Bai, who is Ling'er's disciple..."

"The reason why we are all able to be in the same room, in this mansion, and together have this great opportunity is the same—we have been connected with Mr. a long, long time ago."

"It was this connection that allowed the Mu family to rule the world's largest empire, gave Ancestor Qingxi the opportunity to feel Master's sword intent, and allowed Senior Ao Yun to spout nonsense in front of Master..."

With each sentence she spoke, Qinghe would drink a cup of spirit wine, one cup after another, one sentence after another.

"You are like this, and so am I."

"The reason I got to know you is not because I have anything that you admire about me, but because I look very much like the senior Lin He that you remember."

"Appearance, name, even the initial personality, there are many similarities... Thanks to that senior Lin He, I was able to stay by Mr.'s side, witness many incredible things, and have everything I have today."

Qinghe's somewhat deep voice reached her ears, and Bai Ling's brows furrowed slightly as she spoke softly, her face flushed from drunkenness.

"At least for now, your master cares about you, so why say such things?"

Qinghe smiled faintly at Bai Ling's caring and reminding words. She shook her head and said softly.

"I know all of that. My husband is a very, very good person. He is really good to me, to the point that you could call it indulgence."

Seeing that Qinghe's expression didn't seem fake, Bai Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Bai Ling always thought Qing He was a good girl, and she didn't want Qing He to think about such meaningless questions.

Before Bai Ling could offer any words of comfort, Qing He's voice lowered again.

"Aside from always getting hit on the head, there's nothing wrong with me. My husband doesn't get angry with me, nor does he blame me for any mistakes."

Even when my husband occasionally gets a little serious and taps my head, it's not because he's really angry, but to take care of my feelings and let me relax a bit.

It's like...

Qinghe's voice paused for a moment before resuming.

"It's as if I've always been a child, a child who needs to be taken care of, who can act recklessly with my husband and do all sorts of outrageous things."

Qinghe's voice gradually calmed down, but Bailing became much more serious.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to offer any advice.

Fortunately, Qinghe didn't need anyone else's comfort, so she continued the conversation on her own.

"When I first met my husband, I was sixteen years old. At that time, I was still a little naive as a girl, but for various reasons, I was also somewhat sensible."

My husband at that time took good care of me. He would answer any questions I asked and gave me a lot of help.

I stayed by my husband's side, followed the rules, and did everything I was supposed to do.

Later, I followed my husband to this mansion and lived here together for a very long time.

At first, I did everything diligently as before, without causing my husband any trouble.

At the time, I thought that as someone who was cared for and helped by my husband, I couldn't cause him any unnecessary trouble.

But……"

After another gulp of wine, Qinghe let out a long sigh and raised her right hand toward the starry sky.

Starlight filtered through her fingers, falling on Qinghe's face and illuminating her delicate features.

"However, I soon discovered that this was not what the gentleman liked."

Rather than being obedient and sensible, quietly handling everything and not causing any trouble for my husband, he seems to prefer me to be mischievous.

As she spoke, Qinghe looked down at Bailing and asked with a smile.

"Isn't it strange? Not causing you any trouble has become the reason why you're distancing yourself from me."

Before Bai Ling could answer the question, Qing He continued.

"After that, I tried to do some things that were unconventional, illogical, and very troublesome in the eyes of ordinary people."

I repeatedly tested my husband's bottom line, troubled him time and time again, and acted like a little girl, doing things that I myself felt were a bit excessive.

Just when I thought my husband would scold me, something unexpected happened.

My husband was exceptionally pleased with me in this state, so much so that I sensed a genuine expression of his affection.

Sister Bai, you probably don't know this, but my husband rarely has emotional changes. In the first few decades, I never saw him smile from the bottom of his heart.

But as I became more and more unruly, my husband's emotions became much more varied.

It's like... it's like... through me, the gentleman can see another person, a child who will never grow up in the gentleman's eyes.
