"Really?" Hua Qianye exclaimed excitedly, as if she had been granted a pardon. "It's a promise, no vows! Don't try to cling to me with this when you grow up!"

Han Wuxie sneered inwardly, "I should be grateful you're not bothering me. You want me to bother you? Dream on! You'd better find your body soon and forget everything!"

She said calmly, "It's a deal! Don't worry, you're not my type. The husband I want when I grow up will definitely not be you!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Hua Qianye's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "In that case, I'll go back to refining pills. It will probably take more time to successfully refine one more pill. Originally, it was expected to take a month and a half, but now it's estimated to take two months."

Han Wuxie rubbed his eyes hard, making them red, and he really looked like he had just had a good cry.

She looked up at Hua Qianye and asked, "Are we setting off immediately in two months?"

Hua Qianye nodded solemnly.

Han Wuxie's eyes were filled with reluctance and conflict as she whispered, "But I haven't figured out a reason for leaving. You forbade me from telling you, so naturally I can't honestly say that I've descended to the mortal realm. But how can I explain taking my younger brother and cousin away from the Han family? After all, once we leave, we don't know when we'll be able to come back, or even if we'll never be able to." Her gaze gradually dimmed, filled with sadness.

"Doesn't your cousin have a great-uncle who's a legendary doctor?"

"Uncle Ghost Doctor?" Han Wuxie frowned and said, "He used Xingyu, and Xingyu is very heartbroken."

"Those were all lies fabricated by the Ghost Doctor to get your cousin to leave him and the Demon Realm. If he hadn't said those things, Xingyu wouldn't have left him, wouldn't have gone to the Immortal Realm, and wouldn't have returned to his father's side. Actually, he and Hanyu communicated telepathically, and I heard everything. Hanyu knows that the Ghost Doctor truly loves Xingyu, so if he uses the Ghost Doctor's name, Hanyu will have absolutely no suspicion."

"Then what should I say?"

"You have to ask me about this?" Hua Qianye was a little dissatisfied, but he still truthfully gave his suggestion, saying slowly, "I think you can tell your family that the Ghost Doctor has developed a formula that can prolong life, and if you're lucky, it might even help you grow spiritual roots. However, during the treatment, you must live in the Demon Realm."

"Can my brother and I enter the Demon Realm?" Han Wuxie asked with some concern. "Isn't there a barrier on the Boundless Sea that prevents immortals from entering the Demon Realm?"

Hua Qianye explained carefully, "Neither you nor your brother possess cultivation levels of the Immortal Realm, nor do you have spiritual or immortal roots. Naturally, you can enter the Demon Realm. You must tell your family that before you succeed, you cannot leave the Demon Realm, nor can you allow anyone to disturb the Ghost Doctor, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain! Your family cannot enter the Demon Realm. I think even if your family misses you terribly, they shouldn't disturb you. This time, Xingyu left the Ghost Doctor, and the Ghost Doctor will probably go into seclusion as soon as he returns, so this lie shouldn't be exposed in a short time."

"What if we haven't returned by then, and the lie has been exposed? What should we do then?" Han Wuxie still felt uneasy.

Hua Qianye sneered, "So what if they expose you? You're no longer in the Immortal Realm. At most, they can search the entire Immortal Realm for you. What else can they do?"

"The journey to the mortal realm takes at least three days. Do you think the Han family won't look for you if you suddenly leave with your two younger brothers? Do you think you can get there before they find you? All you need now is time to leave the Han family with your two younger brothers and embark on the journey to the mortal realm!"

"This lie is just to buy you time on the journey. At least for these three days, the Han family won't be able to capture you and question you about why you suddenly left the Han family! So this lie is just a delaying tactic. By the time it's exposed, you'll have already left the Immortal Realm, and whether you can return is uncertain! Why worry so much? If you don't tell this lie, I can't think of a better way! You shouldn't go to the mortal realm. Let your brothers slowly search for longevity herbs. Extend your life by a few years, that's a few years!"

Han Wuxie shook her head. She knew that Tianci had taken countless medicines for those extra two years of life, and each one was extremely bitter. She didn't want to see her younger brother suffer like this for a few years of life. She wanted her brother to escape this fate and get rid of the stigma of being a good-for-nothing!

She firmly replied, "No, I will listen to everything you say. I will do as you say. I believe you!"

"In that case, I'll go back to refining pills! I'll set off in two months!" After saying that, he returned to his ring before Wu Xie could even respond.

Wu Xie stepped out of the room and into the courtyard. Tianci and Xingyu approached somewhat furtively. Han Tianci whispered, "Sister, did your elaborate scheme work?"

Han Xingyu asked expectantly, "Sister Wuxie, can I go to the mortal realm with you? Is it possible?"

Han Wuxie's solemn expression made the two children a little nervous.

After a long while, she sighed and said, "It's done..."

"It's done!" Han Xingyu exclaimed excitedly, wanting to burst into laughter, but Han Tianci slapped her. Han Tianci, being more mature, said seriously, "Didn't you see how preoccupied you are, sister? Although it's done, it certainly wasn't easy. Something must be troubling you!"

Han Xingyu immediately covered her mouth, looking guilty.

Han Tianci obediently moved closer to Han Wuxie and asked with concern, "Sister, what's troubling you so much?"

"Sigh!" Han Wuxie sighed deeply, "Although we succeed, we can descend to the mortal realm and have the opportunity to cultivate spiritual roots or immortal roots. Xingyu might even be able to complete her useless roots and become a dual-root genius. But... if we don't succeed in the mortal realm, we might never be able to come back. In two months, Hua Qianye will refine the divine pill and take us to find the divine beasts and leave the immortal realm. Thinking that we will be leaving the Han family in two months, leaving my mother, grandfather, great-uncle, eldest uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle, I feel a little empty inside."

Han Tianci lowered his head. He didn't know how to comfort his sister. In fact, he was just as reluctant as his sister. He was so afraid that if he couldn't cultivate spiritual roots and return to the Immortal Realm, he would never see his mother again.

Han Xingyu's eyes dimmed instantly. She had finally found a father, and he loved her so much. Grandpa, Uncle Wan, Madam Rou, Uncle Shi, Uncle Yun—they all cherished her so much. Their gazes were genuine, their loving smiles undeniable; it was the kind of family affection she had always longed for. But having just met them, she would have to leave in two months. She was truly heartbroken.

The courtyard was silent; none of the three spoke.

Hua Qianye listened to everything outside from inside the ring. He knew that Han Wuxie's crying was fake this time. It was all a series of schemes she had deliberately designed to make him agree to take Xingyu down to the mortal realm. But she didn't know that even if she hadn't done all this, he would have considered her feelings and refined another divine pill to take Xingyu down to the mortal realm with him.

But she had finally come up with a plan, and I couldn't spoil her fun, so I tried my best to cooperate and pretended to fall for it.

He sighed inwardly into the ring: "Although the scheme was brilliant, and I almost fell for it, knowing you too well seems to have diminished the fun! But... your comment about me being an old cow chasing young grass makes me doubt myself. Why do I feel this flutter in my heart for you? Could you really be right?"

"It seems I'm gradually giving more and more to you, as if I've strayed from my original path. Could it be that I really...?"

He shook his head vigorously and said with a wry smile, "No, it's just because she's cute. It's out of a master's affection for his disciple, not romantic love. She's just a ten-year-old child. I shouldn't fall in love with a ten-year-old child. I shouldn't be that much of a jerk! No, no..." As he spoke, his voice became less and less confident.

---Aside---

In this chapter, Hua Qianye finally realized something was wrong! He was really torn!

He's actually a bit like a little girl. He looks like a devil, but he's actually very shy and awkward inside. He even asks and answers his own questions and contradicts himself in the ring. It's so cute!

If our female lead knew that he was talking to himself like that, she would definitely give him a piece of her mind!

However, Hua Hua, who lacked confidence, already sensed that he was acting a bit like a rascal, actually having the desire to eat young grass instead of being a mature woman!
