Some years later.

Shen Nanyiyi's life in this life has come to an end, and his soul has drifted to the underworld.

Looking up, the fields are still vast and the yellow sand is everywhere, blinding the eyes.

She sighed softly.

What happened? She hasn’t been down here for decades. Is it because her eyesight is blurry, or is it that the climate in Huangquan has become so bad that she can’t even see the road clearly?

How do these old masters manage it? Without Mu Qizhou, the underworld is in chaos.

Shen Nanyi rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the yellow sand had disappeared;

There were green trees everywhere, the Forgotten River flowed slowly, and star stones hung in the air, bright and sparkling.

Ribbons and banners were flying all around, and two giant red banners were hanging from the sky with the words:

Welcome home outstanding employee 9527 from the underworld!

Welcome the return of the soul of the goddess Xishan!

One after another, old acquaintances came out, the ghost messenger Alu, Meng Po, the Ten Kings of Hell, and many ghost messengers and ferrymen who had worked with her in the past. They surrounded her, clapping and cheering excitedly.

"9527, welcome home!"

Yincha Alu is still the same, he hasn't changed at all.

He held a reed in his mouth and waved at Shen Nanyi: "9527, see you again!!"

Meng Po is even more charming and beautiful than she was decades ago: "9527, I didn't expect you to be such a beauty even when you are old!"

Shen Nanyi burst into laughter and tears came out: "Of course I can't compare to you, you are getting younger and younger!"

"You have such a sweet mouth and you know how to talk."

Meng Po hugged her affectionately: "I missed you so much!"

"I miss you as well!"

Decades passed in a flash, her hair had turned from black to white, and now she is an old lady.

She kept looking around the crowd, looking at everyone with reluctance.

After taking in everyone's faces, a feeling of loss and sadness came to my heart.

"Shen Nanyi, is your life as a mortal fulfilled?"

Meng Po held her hand, her eyes full of pity: "Is the master good to you?"

Shen Nanyi nodded, his face full of happiness: "Very good, I can spend this life with him, no regrets. It's a pity that the mountains are not old yet, I am old, I just hate that time is so fleeting, it's too short."

Yincha Alu took a look and said jokingly: "Speak of the devil, and he will appear. The master has also returned."

Shen Nanyi raised his eyes and saw Mu Qizhou, who also had white hair, walking towards him with big strides, leaning on a cane.

His tall figure was slightly hunched, a sign of the passage of time, but it did not in the least conceal his tall and majestic demeanor.

"Why are you coming down too?" She walked up to him and naturally put her arms around his waist.

Mu Qizhou kissed her forehead as if no one was around:

"We lived and died together. This was our promise back then, and I did it."

"Won't the children be sad?" Shen Nanyi was concerned about his descendants and felt a little guilty.

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal state of life. What's more, we died of old age without any illness. It is a happy funeral for them." Mu Qizhou said with a smile.

Yincha Alu and Mengpo happily stepped forward and bowed: "Welcome, Master. We haven't seen you for decades, and you are still as imposing as ever."

"Thank you for your hard work over the past few decades."

Mu Qizhou has completed his mortal life, and it is time for him to return to the position of Lord of the Underworld.

He held Shen Nanyi's hand, reluctant to let go:

"Being a husband and wife in this life is not enough. I can't bear to leave you. I'll go to find the Heavenly Path tomorrow, and you'll go to Xishan and wait for me, okay?"

Shen Nanyi nodded, then shook his head.

Mu Qizhou raised his eyebrows, leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Shen Nanyi bit his lower lip and said stubbornly, "I'll wait here and not go anywhere."

Meng Po was puzzled: "What's wrong, 9527?"

Shen Nanyi looked at her, his eyes misty: "I have unfulfilled obsessions, I won't leave."

Yincha Alu laughed so hard that he almost choked: "9527, do we have to convert you? Give you a bowl of Mengpo soup?"

"Yes." Shen Nanyi nodded solemnly:

"I once swore that after a hundred years, I would drink the Meng Po soup prepared by English for me, so that I could end my past life and return to my place of soul. Now I am here, where is he?"

"You are kidding. Why is Ayu here?" Meng Po widened her eyes.

Yincha Alu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "That's right."

Shen Nanyi didn't care about anything and sat down on the ground: "I don't care, I'm just going to wait here."

Mu Qizhou seemed to have remembered something and sat down with her: "I'll wait with you, wife."

Shen Nanyi interlocked his fingers.

The two men with white hair and beards sat on the ground regardless of anything, as stubborn as children.

Meng Po couldn't help laughing: "No wonder people say old children, old children, this old man is like a child. My Lord, you don't persuade her, but join her in making trouble."

Mu Qizhou looked at her tenderly: "In my eyes, she has never aged and will always be a girl."

"The master can speak sweet words so easily, it's really enviable!"

Shen Nanyi crossed his hands on his chest and pouted: "If English doesn't come, I won't leave."

The two of them just sat on the ground beside the Naihe Bridge without moving, which made the old men very worried.

All the affairs of the underworld are waiting for the Lord of the Underworld to come back and take charge of the situation.

He just crossed the Naihe Bridge to wash away his past as a mortal, which does not count as a formal return. What should he do?

Shen Nanyi ignored their chattering and noise and just sat cross-legged in meditation.

Mu Qizhou also followed her and did the same, which made several old men so angry that they silently cursed: "The witch of the underworld."

I don't know how long it took, but a sudden laugh suddenly sounded in the air.

The laughter was nine parts doting and one part teasing. Although it was very light, it still poured into Shen Nanyi's ears like thunder.

Her eyes shot open.

"Why are you still acting like a child?"

A white dress fell, and the long-lost figure stood under the weeping willows not far away, smiling at her.

His dark eyes were full of her reflection.

She ran towards him, just like that dark night decades ago when she was frightened by the bloody ghost for the first time and ran into his arms crying.

The force was so great that he was almost knocked to the ground again.

"English, English, you're here, you're really here!"

She cried and laughed, and her tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Since you're cheating and not going on the road, how can I not come?" He smiled.

Decades have passed, her hair has turned white, her eyebrows and eyes are full of wrinkles, but she still cries with tears in her eyes like a child.

"Ayu." Mu Qizhou came over with a smile: "Long time no see."

Jiang Yingyu pursed her lips at him and asked Shen Nanyi:

"Is that brat nice to you? If not, I will beat him up for you today to vent your anger."

Shen Nanyi sniffed, eyes reddening: "Okay, Master, Azhou is very good to me."

Jiang Yingyu reached out and scratched her nose: "Then why are you still crying?"

Shen Nanyi put his arm around his waist and held him tightly:

"Master, I miss you. I miss you so much. Why don't you come to see me after you come back?"

Back then, his spirit turned into rain and extinguished the power of the sun. The Heavenly Dao once said that he existed between heaven and earth, and whether he could come back depended entirely on chance.

But she believed, she just believed, that her master was Jiang Yingyu, the most powerful man in the universe, and he would not die.

He will definitely come back.

Now, she finally got what she wanted and her obsession was finally fulfilled.

Jiang Yingyu waved his hand, and the old lady in front of him turned into a young girl again.

Mu Qizhou also turned back into his youthful appearance.

Jiang Yingyu spread her hands: "This is really your fault. If you were not husband and wife in the mortal world, I wouldn't have to run back and forth to guard Fusang for you and to manage the netherworld for Azhou."

Shen Nanyi's eyes widened in surprise: "Where's Tiandao? Didn't we agree that he would be in charge temporarily?"

A man's voice came from behind: "The Lord of Heaven and Earth has appeared in the world, and he doesn't care. Do you want to trouble me again?"

A man in green robes came down, and a handsome man came leisurely, fanning himself: "Long time no see, poisonous woman."

Shen Nanyi gritted his teeth and said, "Long time no see, old widow."

Tiandao was frustrated and complained to Jiang Yingyu: "Look at the apprentice you picked, tut tut."

He raised his fist towards Shen Nanyi: "Be careful or I'll cut you!"

Jiang Yingyu held her to his chest and said, "Go away, my apprentice, who dares?"

Shen Nanyi burst into laughter, rolled her face towards his chest, and wiped her tears and snot on his lapel.

Jiang Yingyu was speechless: "Shen Nanyi, you really repay kindness with enmity. This is the new clothes I bought just to see you."

"I'll compensate you, Master. From now on, all your clothes will be covered by me." She grabbed the clothes again and blew her nose.

Jiang Yingyu looked at Mu Qizhou with disdain: "Look, how have you managed him for so many years?"

Mu Qizhou laughed: "She is your disciple, how dare I control her? She is the one who controls me."

Shen Nanyi put her arms around his waist and said coquettishly, "I am the disciple of the Lord of Heaven and Earth!"

Tiandao half raised his head, sneered, and said proudly:

"Thank you, Master. Now he is the ruler of heaven and earth, and the rules have changed. After the two of you return to your original places, you can stay together shamelessly again!"

Shen Nanyi and Mu Qizhou looked at each other, very excited:

"That's great!"

"Master, is this true?"

Jiang Yingyu rubbed her hair, "Of course! Otherwise, why would I want to be the ruler of heaven and earth?"

He looked at Mu Qizhou with relief in his eyes: "She is living a happy life! You have done a good job and deserve her love for you."

"Thank you for your protection along the way, loving her and protecting her. Please accept my greetings." Mu Qizhou bowed respectfully.

Shen Nanyi also knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully:

"Master, thank you for going to hell and suffering so much for me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today."

Jiang Yingyu helped them up one by one, feeling deeply moved:

"Life is like a dream, but true love can last forever. Since I am your master, I will pave the way for you and protect you."

Shen Nanyi burst into tears. How could she be so worthy and lucky to have such a good teacher.

From then on, forever and ever, there was a light in front of her and people by her side, and she would never be alone again.

"It's getting late, and you've met the people you wanted to meet. Let's get going, both of you." Yincha Alu said with a smile.

Jiang Yingyu took Shen Nanyiyi's hand and led her to the Naihe Bridge.

Whether in the past, present, or future, he will always be the one who protects her.

He was dressed in white, with a graceful figure like a jade tree, and he made a gesture of invitation to her in a chic manner:

"Princess, please go on your way."

Final words:

My dears, this book is finally finished.

When I started writing, I had intended to write one million words, but when I got to the finale, it seemed there was no need to continue writing to increase the word count.

If you do things too thoroughly, your fate will end early; so I left a little space, no millions of words, no extra chapters.

Everyone has achieved perfection, just like how I feel at the moment.

I love all the characters here, and when we say goodbye to each other, I even feel that they will continue to live in the story world I have created.

In this mortal world, you, me, and them are all people living in this world; see you again, Jianghu!

PS: The new book is expected to be on the shelves in August. It is a series of ancient Chinese stories.

Stay tuned!
