"But you must promise me not to hurt him," the Monster said. "No matter what, you must never trust your sword towards him— the real one, I mean, not the meaty one, haha!"
The Monster still had time to crack a joke that put a smile and a little blush on Han Shun's cheeks.
"I—I promise. I may be angry and I'm certainly going to do anything as long as I can get Bai Gege by my side. But I will not directly hurt him."
"If you've promised, then I have no reason to hold this power. I am the most powerful soul ever created, my power will unlock your full potential, I guarantee that" the Monster turned into mist once more and entered Han Shun's body from his mouth until there was nothing left to swallow.
Han Shun felt his body become lightweight until he could feel nothing but a fleeting sensation of explosion coming from inside his body.
'Bai Gege, I miss you. I miss you so much. Would you please allow me to return by your side? I don't want to be alone anymore,' Han Shun thought amidst the change inside his body. Even during the most critical situation in his life, his mind still thinks of Bai Gege and all the good things between them.
'I want to be with you and I'll fix my way after this. Please accept me again, Bai Gege. You are the one who gives me a chance to live and to experience what love is. Please don't kick me out of your life.'

"Okay, that's enough, Han Ning. You can take a rest now," Bai Shijue said as he sipped the jasmine tea while watching Han Ning training.
Han Ning stopped his martial arts training, looked at Master Bai and bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle.
"Thank you so much for your teaching, Master Bai!" Han Ning yelled vigorously, and Bai Shijue replied with a hum,
"Go wash yourself first, I have something to talk about with your great grandpa," Bai Shijue said.
Han Ning excused himself and left Master Bai's courtyard. Bai Shijue tapped the ground with his feet twice, and Han Min was teleported in front of Bai Shijue.
Han Min was a light soul now. He could freely fly from one place to another and pass anything that could be passed by the light.
Master Bai also fused a jade inside his astral body, so Master Bai could always call him by tapping the ground twice, and Han Min would be teleported instantly.
Han Min kneeled in front of Master Bai, "Master Bai, Han Min is at your service."
| сom "Hahah, no need to be so formal around me," Bai Shijue smiled. "Where were you?"
"I was in the temple, Master Bai. I entered your statue and made the eyes shine bright, to show your followers that you are real," Han Min replied, not hiding anything in front of his Master.
After all, Master Bai was an amazing man. He must've had the ability to read his mind.
"And the people believed you?"
"Yes, Master, everyone in the village has been talking about that miracle coming from your giant statue," Han Min confirmed.
Han Min didn't feel ashamed to have entered a statue's body to show the mightiness of Master Bai since his Master was way too aloof to think about the mortal world, so Han Min had to take responsibility as the founder to continuously show Master Bai's miracle.
Bai Shijue wasn't shocked or annoyed by Han Min's action. After all, that was what he wanted to do, and he couldn't care less if the mortals worshiped him or not.
[Pupa: That's a lie, I know that you like being worshiped, you narcissist.]
[Geez, who doesn't want to be worshiped as a god? It's so cool! I bet you want a giant statue of yourself, right, Pupa?]
[Pupa: …]
Pupa couldn't deny that because it also thinks that having a statue of its own would be cool.]
Bai Shijue sipped his tea and prepared to talk about his plan, "Han Min, I'm going to the Forest of Lost Mist tonight, I'm going to retrieve that vial of the dead, so I can contain your soul and bring you to the immortal realm."
"Yes, Master Bai, thank you so much for your generosity," Han Min replied. "Can I come with you, Master Bai?"
"And what's that for?"
"I want to make sure that you're well protected, maybe I can help you somehow," Han Min said.
Bai Shijue chuckled and shook his head, "No need, it will be quick and I will return here after dawn."
"But, Master—" Han Min was worried because he always thought that something might have happened to Master Bai and he would leave him again.
"Master Bai, you said back then that you won't be long, and you will visit sometimes, but you left me for so long until I've become too old to even serve you…." Han Min said.
He was sad whenever he remembered how he longed for his Master to finally come and visit, but Master Bai never came until a hundred years later.
"It's fine, Han Min, I promise that it won't be long. After all, I'm just retrieving the vial of death, don't you want to follow me to the immortal realm?"
"Yes, Han Min will follow you everywhere. I devote my life to serve you!"
Bai Shijue smiled thin, but seeing how devoted Han Shun was— there was a little concern in his heart, "Han Min, what will you do if I disappear from the mortal realm for a long time?"
Han Min's eyes widened, and he panicked instantly, "M—Master Bai, did you plan to leave this world— to leave the mortal realm all together?"
"Don't panic, I was just asking," Bai Shijue said. "We don't know what the future has to offer, and I want to know what would you do if I suddenly disappear from this realm and never return."
