The building where they lived were covered in red cloth both inside and outside.
A staircase made from reiki formed below Jing Yu.
Ming Shu placed her fruit at the side and stepped back. She raised her hand elegantly.
Qi Yu: â...â
Qi Yu placed his hand in her palm. They held each otherâs hands tightly. Ming Shu stepped down the stairs with him.
One step at a time.
Birds glided above them.
Each chirp was a blessing.
Xiu Huan held a tray and stood at the bottom of the stairs. She looked down slightly.
The tray was covered with a red shaw. Qi Yu couldnât see what was inside.
Ming Shu stopped. She lifted the red shaw.
There was only one thing on the tray: the colorful Little Beastie.
Ming Shu: â...â
Xiu Huan: â...â
Little Beastie lay on the tray and pouted.
Ming Shu pushed it to the side. The object under it was revealed.
It was an ordinary true-loverâs knot.
In the middle of the true-loverâs knot, there was a gem. It shone faintly.
Ming Shu gave the true-loverâs knot to Qi Yu.
âMy heart is with you. We will live together until old age.â
Qi Yu held the true-loverâs knot tightly.
He smiled at Ming Shu and repeated after her. âMy heart is with you. We will live together till old age.â
Ming Shu smiled brightly.
She raised her hand suddenly. âOkay, you all can disperse now.â
Qi Yu: â...???â
Itâs over?
Should we kowtow to each other?
This is... a different kind of wedding!
The ceremony had ended.
However, the celebration had not ended. Everyone worked so hard for this wedding. They would not let it end so quickly.
Ming Shu and Qi Yu were surrounded by people when they entered the main hall.
The celebration lasted an entire day.
At night, there were fireworks made from spiritual power.
Ming Shu sat on the chair with one of her legs up. She ate the snacks Xiu Huan brought over and looked at the fireworks in the air.
The entire sky seemed to be lit up.
Kongming lanterns were floating in the sky.
âWife.â
Qi Yu smoothed her dress down.
Can you be more lady-like?
Ming Shu glanced at him. She didnât reply to him.
My little demon... is so seductive!
âWhat is this?â
Qi Yu took a leaf that fell from the sky.
He looked at the sky in a daze. Thin leaves were floating down slowly.
Why were there leaves in the sky?
âThey are wish-making leaves,â Ming Shu said. âIf you have a wish, you can write it on the leaf. If itâs not an impossible wish, it will come true. If you are lucky.â
Qi Yu: â...â Does it depend on your luck?
âHow do I write on it?â
âUse your spiritual power...â
Ming Shu remembered that the little demon had no spiritual power. âWhat do you want to write? Let me help you.â
Qi Yu rejected her. âNo.â
Ming Shu: â...â
Ming Shu asked Xiu Huan to take some writing materials. It was difficult to find any in the Thousand Mirror Mountain.
Normally, they used their spiritual power to write things. It was convenient and environmentally friendly.
Xiu Huan searched for a long time before she found writing materials.
Qi Yu turned around and wrote on the leaf.
Ming Shu leaned toward him. âIf you have a wish, you can just tell me.â
Qi Yu covered his leaf. âNo. Go away.â
Ming Shu clicked her tongue.
The wish-making leaf was different from other things.
If you were lucky, the wish-making fairies living on the wish-making tree would see your wish and fulfill it.
Of course, such wishes were normally things likeâI want to find my missing goat.
If you wanted supernatural powers, beauties surrounding you, or to become wealthy instantly, the fairies would not be able to fulfill it.
People made wishes for fun. It was like releasing Lotus lanterns during the Double Seventh Festival.
After Qi Yu finished writing, Ming Shu asked him to release the leaf. The leaf slowly floated up.
Leaves that had wishes written on them would glow faintly.
Ming Shu hugged Qi Yu. Qi Yu looked at her. She was looking far away.
He slowly kissed her.
Kongming lanterns and glowing leaves filled the air.
Two figures hugged each other. The scene was beautiful.
â
The Apocalypse Pagoda...
The Spirit Water had not subsided yet. It would last for a month.
Yet, the Apocalypse Pagoda was closed.
However, no one left yet. They congregated outside the pagoda. The floating corpses in the water accompanied them.
Ming Shu didnât appear in front of the crowd. She just went to find Dan Jing individually.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then, she entered the pagoda.
The huge mice obediently came to greet her.
âLittle ancestor...â
âNice to see you, little ancestor.â
âLittle ancestor.â
Ming Shu: â...â I thought I told you all to stop calling me little ancestor! I donât have relatives like you!
Ming Shu walked to the wall.
âDo you have things to tell me?â
The huge mice retreated to the side.
Silence.
Gold lights started shimmering on the wall. A sentence appeared.
âSome people were taken away by the world doors. They are in spirit form. You need to get them back.
âArenât you powerful?â
âThey will use other peopleâs bodies. I canât bring them back.
Ming Shu pouted. âWhat if I donât agree?â
âYou will.
âQi Yuâs spirit is lost in these worlds too. It is a simple task for you.
Ming Shu read the sentence again.
There was no threat in it.
She was slightly disappointed.
She couldnât argue back.
Ming Shu asked, âWhat will I get? Iâm not your worker.â
The wall remained still for a moment.
âAfter you finish this task, I will break your pact. You will not have any relationship with the Apocalypse Pagoda after this.
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. âArenât you afraid that I will cause trouble?â
âIf you really want to cause trouble, I canât stop you.
Ming Shu: â...â
I canât talk to you like this!
Her pact with the Apocalypse Pagoda was simple. As long as it needed her help, she would help it.
Ming Shu thought for a moment. She needed to find the little demonâs lost spirit.
Although the little demon looked normal now...
It was because of her power of origin.
No one knew when he would fall sick.
She must look for his spirit.
âHow do I differentiate them?â
âThe people that enter the pagoda have a mark on their spirit. You will know it the moment you see it.
...
Before Ming Shu went on her mission, she took a look at Qi Yuâs world.
It was troublesome for her to patch up a world, but since it was the little demonâs wish, she would fulfill it.
Although the main world was patched up, the problems in the other worlds would not automatically disappear. Hence, there was still a need for the Time Control Department.
They had the Elder so Ming Shu took it away.
It had snacks!
Before she left, she beat Luo Yan up.
Why?
She was reminded of Night Shadow the moment she saw him.
He lacked a beating!
