The night was hazy, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

In the quiet night, Han Tianci was already asleep, but his brows gradually furrowed and his face turned pained.

Whether it's a dream or reality, the image is so blurry.

Whether it's a memory or a fantasy, it's all unknown.

A fiery red dress, graceful dance moves...

The melodious cries of phoenixes echoed...

who is it?

Those gentle eyes held hope, prayer, and anticipation.

Is she a woman who has been waiting for him all along?

Who is it?

My heart aches so much. Why am I crying? Why am I crying for no reason because of her?

Why did her once gentle eyes suddenly turn despair, coldness, and melancholy?

Why is she crying?

Don't cry, please, don't cry!

I can't see her face clearly. I want to shout, but no sound comes out. I'm standing right next to her, so why can't she see me?

Why was she crying so hard in front of that coffin?

Who is in the coffin?

Why can't I get close to the coffin? My soul is repelled, refused to approach!

Is this a dream or reality?

Why do I feel such a strong pang of heartache? Why do I feel so bad when this woman cries? Why am I crying along with her? Why can't I bear to see her cry?

The woman's gaze was sorrowful and desolate; she suddenly forced open the coffin.

She asked weakly, "I've done everything I could! But why, why aren't you awake?"

She gradually became agitated. "Didn't you say that you would wake up once someone descended to earth and opened the path to the mortal realm? Why haven't you woken up yet? Are you lying to me? Why was I so foolish? Why did I believe you?"

She sobbed uncontrollably, "I've lived alone because of your promise. I knew you were dead, but I still believed you! Before you died, you promised you'd come back to me, that you'd wake up! But what happened? This time, I was fooled! I've lived in pain all alone, suffered for so long, waited for so long. I should have died with you the moment you died!"

She reached out and stroked the face of the person in the coffin, asking in a hoarse voice, "Did you make up that lie because you were afraid I would die with you? That lie that you would be resurrected as long as I waited for the one who descended to earth and opened the path to the mortal realm?"

She smiled bitterly, "Fool, you've miscalculated. Did you think no one could fulfill the demands you set? Yet, mortals from the celestial realm managed to find that path! They've descended to the mortal realm, my mission is complete, and your lies can no longer be maintained!"

"Silly boy, are you lonely? Let me keep you company, okay?" She suddenly smiled brightly, and looked beautiful.

At this moment, the image finally became clear, and Han Tianci was finally able to see the person's appearance!

It's that icy beauty in the red dress!

"How come it's you?" Han Tianci asked in surprise, but quickly covered his mouth. He didn't know why he could suddenly make a sound again.

Upon hearing the sound, the ice queen's eyes instantly turned cold as she looked coldly at the suddenly appearing child.

"Are you that child who descended to earth?" The icy beauty frowned, coldly asking, "How did you get here? Do you even know where this place is?"

"Here?" Han Tianci then carefully looked around. The surroundings were all rocks, with giant dragons carved on them, making it look like a cave.

Han Tianci shook his head blankly.

The icy beauty narrowed her eyes slightly. She had already found it strange that this child was able to find a way to descend to the mortal realm from the immortal realm, and now that he was here, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

The icy beauty coldly replied, "This is the Dragon's Lair."

"Dragon's Lair?" Han Tianci frowned, then exclaimed in shock, "What! Dragon's Lair!"

He asked incredulously, "You said this is a dragon's lair? Dragons? Divine beasts? Am I in the realm of gods? This isn't a dream, is it?"

He shook his head to himself, muttering, "No, no, after interrogating those two old men with Han Xingyu, I went back to my room to sleep. I must be dreaming right now. I must be in a dream, all of this is a dream, all fake! It must be because I miss that beautiful, icy woman so much that I dream about her, dream about these strange things!"

After muttering to himself, he nodded firmly, telling himself, "Yes, it's a dream. This is just a dream."

"Is this a dream?" The icy beauty narrowed her eyes slightly, a playful glint that hadn't appeared in years flashing deep within her cold pupils. She asked calmly, "Do I often appear in your dreams?"

"I..." Han Tianci was a little nervous, his face slightly flushed. Although he knew this was a dream, it felt so real that he still felt shy and scared, and didn't know what to say to her.

"Hmm?" The icy beauty suddenly moved closer to Han Tianci, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Her sudden approach made Han Tianci's face turn even redder.

What am I thinking? How can I be so precocious! My heart is beating so fast... Why is she so close?

Han Tianci kept having random thoughts. Compared to children of the same age, the children in the immortal realm were indeed more mature. However, he hated himself for having random thoughts and for profaning such a beautiful ice queen. In his eyes, she was like an ice queen, pure and flawless, like a goddess, and he could not allow himself to have random thoughts.

The icy beauty blinked blankly, sniffed, and asked suspiciously, "A soul? How is it possible for your soul to drift to the realm of gods?"

Han Tianci was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the cute look on the ice queen's face when she was puzzled, he couldn't help but blush even more.

There's a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps to others, this small change is nothing, but in Han Tianci's eyes, this ice queen's suddenly somewhat bewildered and adorable appearance is simply like a multifaceted celestial being, making him even more fascinated.

No matter how old a man is, he will have a goddess in his heart, an object of his madness, a specific image of a goddess in his mind. At this moment, young Han Tianci, for some reason, subconsciously envisioned a goddess like her, an ice-cold beauty, a little proud, pure and flawless.

In front of all men, she could be as arrogant and cold as she wanted, looking down on the men who fell at her feet.

But when she reveals another side of herself only to him, it drives him crazy. He feels that this side of her belongs only to him, and no one else can see the side of her he sees. That feeling of happiness spreads through his heart in an indescribable way. At this moment, Han Tianci, who is so young, is somewhat crazy about this feeling. He can't figure out why, but subconsciously he feels that she is his goddess.

"I...I like you! When I grow up, will you marry me?"

I don't know where the courage came from, maybe it was a feeling that this was a dream, a dream I created, where I could do whatever I wanted and boldly say what was on my mind, even though the real her had no idea. But I felt very satisfied. Just confessing my feelings to her in the dream made me feel so satisfied that I could fly.

Upon hearing this, the ice queen stiffened slightly, her face instantly darkening, her expression blank, her eyes icy.

She didn't say anything more to Han Tianci.

She turned and walked to the coffin, gently stroking the face of the person inside. A warm smile appeared on her face as she spoke, "Are you lonely? Alone? Bored? Do you miss me?"

Seeing that she was ignoring him, Han Tianci frowned slightly, stepped forward, and wanted to look at the person in the coffin.

Just as he was about to approach the coffin, the icy beauty glared at him coldly and said sternly, "He doesn't welcome you. Don't come near him."

Han Tianci hesitated slightly, but still mustered his courage and asked, "Is the person in the coffin dead? Who is he?"

The icy beauty's eyes grew even colder, as if an iceberg was frozen deep within her pupils. She said coldly, "He is not dead."

Han Tianci was slightly puzzled. He carefully approached and tried to stand on tiptoe to look at the person in the coffin. The person in the coffin had a handsome face. Although his eyes were closed and his pupils could not be seen, his exquisite face was enough to match this ice queen.

Han Tianci felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He didn't know exactly what this feeling was, but he knew it was very unpleasant.

He didn't understand why, in his beautiful dream about her, he had to transform into a demon who was someone she loved.

"You... like him?" Han Tianci asked in a low voice.

"Like?" The ice queen finally turned to look at Han Tianci and said seriously, "You just said you like me, but you're just a child. You don't understand what 'like' means. What you call 'like' might just mean liking me as your older sister. So when you asked me to marry you, I found it hilarious. It's just childish!"

Her gaze returned to the corpse's face, gently and tenderly stroking the pale face, and she whispered, "Because of love, we are together, we get married, and we stay together forever. Liking someone is useless; you can like many, many people, but love is only between two people."

"You loved this man very much?" Han Tianci took a few steps closer, examining the corpse closely, and asked in a low voice, "Has he been dead for a long time?"

"It's been a long, long time, so long that I've forgotten exactly how long it's been." She smiled sadly, not knowing why she talked so much with this child. Perhaps it was because she had made up her mind today to be with him, so meeting this child before she died was fate. She would leave behind her story with him before she died, so that this child would know that loving someone means loving them enough to die together. This kind of love is what truly leads to marriage, not just liking someone and then getting married.

"How long has it been? I've almost forgotten."

Han Tianci seemed to feel that the dream was too long and too realistic, and he became somewhat bewildered.

Han Tianci looked around, then remembered that she had said she was a soul. He came to his senses, looked at himself, and his gaze froze.

He reached out to touch the icy beauty, but to his surprise, his hand passed right through her body.

What's wrong with me?

I actually look a bit like Hua Qianye. Could it be that I am really a soul?

This is not a dream; my soul has left my body and arrived in the realm of gods!

"Is this really the realm of gods? Is this not my dream? Why am I here?" Han Tianci asked, puzzled.

The icy beauty said calmly, "Perhaps this is fate?"

She gazed intently at the face of the person in the coffin, her voice hoarse, "Because you went from the celestial realm to the mortal realm, his promise to me was exposed as a lie. Before he died, he told me to guard that road, and if someone descended to the mortal realm, it would be the time for him to wake up. But he didn't expect that someone would actually descend from there. I came back to find him, but he didn't wake up. He was just lying to me, wanting me to continue living. Now that the lie has been exposed, I want to go and be with him. Before I die, I met you, perhaps just so you would know our story."

"Are you going to die?" Han Tianci's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab her, but his hand passed right through her body.

The ice queen's red dress gradually caught fire from the hem, as if she were committing suicide by self-immolation.

Han Tianci shouted anxiously, "He's already dead! Even if you die, what difference does it make? Does it mean we can be together? He lied to you so you could live. You should fulfill his last wish because you love him. You must live on!"

The flames went out instantly. She was slightly stunned, not because of Han Tianci's words, but because Han Tianci's appearance was changing. His soul's appearance spread out like ripples on water, gradually transforming into the exact same as the person in the coffin beside him. But in just a moment, it turned back into his childlike face.

Han Tianci couldn't see the changes in himself. He was just puzzled as to why the other person was staring at him so blankly, and he even saw tears of excitement in her eyes, the kind of tears of joy.

"Is it you? You're not lying to me, are you? I knew it, you would never lie to me, you would never lie to me!" The ice queen smiled, her smile gentle and warm, like a snow mountain melting in the warm sunlight, elegant and beautiful.

Han Tianci was completely bewildered. Pointing blankly at himself, he asked in a daze, "Are you sure you're talking to me? Weren't you talking to the person in the coffin?"

Instead of answering Han Tianci's question, she asked, "What's your name?"

Han Tianci was overjoyed that she would ask his name, and excitedly said, "Han Tianci, my name is Han Tianci, you must remember it!"

"Han Tianci?" She smiled slightly, nodded, and murmured, "Is his name Han Tianci? Tianci, indeed, Heaven sent you here at the perfect time. If it had been any later, would we have missed out?"

"Missed it?" Han Tianci was bewildered.

The icy beauty suddenly reached out, and a bright red flame appeared in her palm, landing on Han Tianci. Han Tianci instinctively stepped back, but he couldn't dodge the flame that suddenly grew larger.

"You want to burn me alive?" Han Tianci was confused and felt a slight pang of sadness. "Do you hate me that much?"

The flames burned Han Tianci's body, but he felt no pain. His eyes deepened with confusion. "Is it because I'm a soul, so I'm not afraid of fire?"

A sly glint flashed in the icy beauty's eyes as she playfully threatened, "No, this kind of flame can obliterate a person's soul, so even the soul would be afraid."

"What?!" Han Tianci trembled as he said, "You want to obliterate my soul? What did I do wrong? All I did was confess my feelings to you. Even if you don't like me, you can't stop me from liking you. There's no need to hate me to the point of killing me, is there?"

The icy beauty narrowed her eyes slightly, amused. "So it's a divine soul, an immortal divine soul. Is it your reincarnation? Before you died, you foresaw where your reincarnation would descend to, so you had me wait there? I knew you wouldn't lie to me. But your personality has changed so much; you actually took the initiative to confess! The old you wasn't like this! That passive you has become so adorable after your reincarnation!"

"I know why you're here now," the icy beauty suddenly said out of the blue.

"Why?" Han Tianci asked, puzzled.

The icy beauty looked at him gently, making Han Tianci feel somewhat uncomfortable. He even felt that the difference in her gaze before and after was too great and was a little hard to accept. He lowered his head shyly, not daring to look directly at her.

The icy beauty chuckled, "Because I was about to choose death, but you appeared to stop me. Fate arranged for you to stop me."

"So, you don't want to die anymore?" Han Tianci smiled brightly, relieved. "Great, you don't want to die!"

The icy beauty narrowed her eyes, slowly approaching his small face. Her expression was cold and somewhat serious as she said, "You stopped me from going to see him, so you must take responsibility."

"Take responsibility?" Han Tianci looked at her, puzzled.

The icy beauty, now somewhat languid, had shed her previous aloofness and even appeared a little roguish. "You just said you liked me and would marry me when we grow up, is that true?"

"Of course it's true!" Han Tianci answered anxiously, but then felt a little abrupt. He lowered his head and said shyly, "You said that liking you is useless, that we must love each other to get married, but I'm not sure what the difference is between love and liking. But I really want to be with you, and I want to marry you when I grow up. Ever since we last met, I've always thought about you and missed you."

"Did you fall in love with me at first sight?" The icy beauty looked at the person in the coffin with amusement, as if asking him, or perhaps Han Tianci.

Han Tianci kept his head down, not daring to look at her, so when he heard the question, he assumed it was directed at him and replied, "If I desperately wanted to be with you at first sight, and after we parted, you always flashed through my mind, and I missed you terribly, then that's love at first sight. In that case, I've already fallen in love with you at first sight!"

The icy beauty gazed intently at the person in the coffin for a long time before finally raising the corners of her lips in a slight smile: "Then you must take responsibility for my life, because you prevented me from going to him and prevented me from dying. Therefore, you must take responsibility for my future life and marry me when I grow up, just as you said."

"You...are you really willing?" Han Tianci asked cautiously, looking at the person in the coffin, somewhat incredulous. "Don't you love him?"

The icy beauty smiled knowingly and said, "Of course I'll always love him. So, would you marry me, someone who still loves him?"

Han Tianci frowned slightly, remembering that he had promised his sister that he would not suffer in the future, and that he would not be a fool who loved others but was not loved in return.

However, when faced with this woman, he could no longer adhere to those principles.

Even if she doesn't love him, he might have already fallen in love with her. Just as she said, if he hadn't fallen in love with her, why would he want to marry her?

It wasn't just a simple liking of her; it was love. I didn't know the source of such intense love, such love at first sight, but I couldn't extricate myself from it; I was already trapped.

Even if I'm a fool, even if I know there's someone in her heart that I can never forget, someone she deeply loves, why should I argue with a dead person? As long as she's willing to accept my love, whether she loves me or not doesn't really matter, does it?

Han Tianci looked at her earnestly, a maturity beyond his years on his face. He said sincerely, "I'm only nine years old. I don't know why I'm so precocious. Maybe it's laughable for a nine-year-old like me to say I love you, but I don't understand why I have such strong feelings for you. It's a deep, irresistible attraction that fascinates me and makes me unable to forget you. If you're willing to let me love you, I will take responsibility for you. When I grow up, I will marry you. Please don't go looking for him, don't die. Until I can marry you, you must wait for me!"

The ice queen's eyes welled up slightly; these were sweet words she had never heard before he was alive.

In the past, he was always serious and solemn, always so majestic, never showing any tenderness. He was the king of the dragon clan, and he was so dignified that he could never lower his guard or reveal his inner thoughts. He always kept his heart tightly wrapped up and dared not show it.

In the past, he was always the one who took the initiative and loved him, and he rarely felt the happiness of being loved and pampered. Now, in his reincarnation, he is completely the opposite of the past.

It must be because of the different environments he grew up in. So, were these the things his original soul, the things he never dared to say in his heart, also? Was it because his past made him so unable to extricate himself that he is like this in this life?

No matter which life he was in, deep down he always loved me so much.

The icy beauty smiled gently, a hint of shyness in her eyes, and said, "I will wait for you. You cannot fall in love with someone else at first sight, nor can you develop feelings for someone over time. You must keep your promise and come to the realm of gods to marry me when you grow up! I will wait for you here! You cannot lie to me!"

Han Tianci was so happy he couldn't speak. He nodded vigorously, and after a long while, he finally calmed himself down and solemnly said, "I won't lie to you, I will never lie to you!"

The icy beauty nodded slightly, thinking to herself: Yes, you didn't lie to me. You really came back to find me. I almost stupidly committed suicide. I almost missed you. I know you will never lie to me. I will wait for you, I definitely will.

Han Tianci frowned as he looked at his somewhat ethereal feet. "I don't know why I'm here, but I feel like I'm being pulled back."

The icy beauty's eyes held a hint of reluctance. She shook her head with a wry smile and looked at Han Tianci, saying, "You can't leave your body for too long. You came here because you have an indestructible soul within you. The power of that soul brought you to me, but now that power is gradually dissipating, and you must go back."

"Divine soul?" Han Tianci asked, somewhat puzzled.

The icy beauty smiled gently and said, "Don't you know you're the reincarnation of a dragon? You possess talent, don't you?"

"Talent? I do possess talent. Does possessing talent mean I'm a reincarnation of a dragon?"

"If you possess talent, you are a divine beast or deity reincarnated from the divine realm. The power of your divine soul will bring you back to the Dragon Cave, and your divine soul will be the divine soul of a dragon."

"My talent allows me to find many treasures and know their uses. When I discover a treasure, my eyes turn golden."

"It is a golden dragon, the head of the dragons, the five-clawed golden dragon. All divine beasts have a certain amount of magical power. The five-clawed golden dragon has inherited memories and knows all the functions of the treasures of heaven and earth. These are memories that it was born with. The golden dragon's eyes are golden, so when it uses the power of the golden dragon, its eyes will turn into those golden eyes."

"I am a divine beast, the reincarnation of a five-clawed golden dragon?" Han Tianci frowned slightly, puzzled. "How do you know? And what kind of divine beast are you?"

The icy beauty slightly raised the corners of her mouth, tiptoed, and twirled gracefully, creating an illusion in mid-air where flames and phoenix totems intertwined, accompanied by the melodious and thunderous cry of the phoenix.

Han Tianci exclaimed in surprise, "A phoenix? A divine beast, the phoenix?"

The icy beauty stopped, leaned close to his ear, and smiled gently, "Tianci, do you enjoy watching me dance?"

Han Tianci was slightly lost in thought. In his mind, there seemed to be a beautiful sea of ​​flowers, with a graceful figure dancing in it. He didn't know if it was a memory or a fantasy.

He nodded vigorously. "I like it."

The icy beauty raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of tenderness, and said ambiguously, "Then, when you grow up and come to the God Realm, I'll dance for you in the sea of ​​flowers, okay?" In the past, he loved watching me dance the most. I wonder if he still loves my dance now?

"Dancing in a sea of ​​flowers?" Why is that the same illusion I just had? How strange.

"What, don't you want to see?" The icy beauty frowned slightly.

"No, I want to see it, I really want to see it!" Han Tianci lowered his head again, somewhat shyly saying, "But, wouldn't that be too hard on you? I don't want you to be tired."

The icy beauty felt a warmth in her heart and laughed, scolding, "Silly boy, I'll dance for you. How could I get tired, unless you don't like it?"

"No, I like it!" Han Tianci whispered, "I like whatever you do!"

"Do you like doing anything?" The icy beauty gazed at his fading body, her eyes filled with even deeper reluctance. She suddenly closed her eyes and placed a kiss on his forehead. "Although you may not feel it, this is a promise, a kiss to seal our love. Don't keep me waiting too long!" I have been waiting for you, for a very, very long time.

Han Tianci couldn't feel the warm kiss, but looking at her so closely, her beauty was so clear, so deep into his soul, as if there was a resonance in the depths of his soul, a longing for her kiss.

Before he could say anything more, his vision blurred, and all he saw was her waving at him.

"My name is Feng Wu. Don't go looking for the wrong person again. Come and marry me soon..."

Finally, accompanied by her soft, magnetic voice, Han Tianci's consciousness gradually faded.

When he woke up again, he was back in his room. Han Xingyu was fast asleep in the room, completely unaware that Han Tianci, who was in the same room, had just left his body and gone to the God Realm. He also had no idea that Han Tianci had already made his life's most important decision.
