Yunmeng Marsh, Tianyun City, Wang Clan.
A drizzle began to fall in the sky, falling wetly on the bluestone floor. However, everyone standing in the Listening Rain Pavilion courtyard ignored the rain falling on their faces and bodies.
Men, women, old and young, all looked solemn, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing.
In the master bedroom, Wang Chen was sitting next to the bed, holding Ye Dai's hand tightly.
This hand was once slender, white, and as gentle as jade, but now it was as skinny as wood, with wrinkled skin covered with dark brown spots.
Ye Dai, who was lying on the bed, was covered with white hair. He had long lost the beauty and gentleness of the past, and his complexion was extremely weak.
Anyone can see that she has run out of energy and has no hope of continuing to live.
However, there was no fear of death on Ye Dai's face, and the eyes she looked at Wang Chen were still full of tender and happy love.
"Husband."
Ye Dai called out softly, then used the last bit of strength to hold Wang Chen's hand and put it against his face.
At this moment, she showed an extremely satisfied smile, her originally cloudy eyes suddenly became brighter, and she even regained a lot of energy.
An indescribable sadness suddenly surged into Wang Chen's heart.
He lowered his head and approached his wife and asked softly, "Dai'er, do you have anything else to say to me?"
Ye Dai shook his head and said with a smile, "With my husband by my side in this life, I have no regrets. If there is an afterlife..."
At this point, her breath gradually weakened, but she still said her last words, "I hope I can still be with you!"
The next moment, this woman who lived to be a hundred years old suddenly passed away.
Wang Chen closed his eyes suddenly.
He felt as if a large piece of his heart had been cut out by a sharp blade, and it suddenly became empty.
More than 80 years ago, Wang Chen and Ye Dai got married.
After getting married, the two of them worked together harmoniously and truly respected each other like guests until they grew old together.
For decades, Ye Dai has been his best helper, taking care of his family business, managing his inner house, and raising children in a virtuous and elegant manner. She has become Tianyun City's most respected mistress in the eyes of nearly a million people.
Wang Chen and she have been together for so many years and have already become an inseparable part of each other's lives.
He also tried his best to extend Ye Dai's life, but the limit of mortals was far lower than that of immortal cultivators. It was a blessing to live to be a hundred years old, and it was impossible to force more.
In fact, Wang Chen knew her return date a few years ago.
We are also well prepared.
However, no matter how well-prepared you are, you can't withstand the psychological impact of this moment!
"My great-grandmother has gone..."
When the unfortunate news spread from the room to the outside, Wang Clan's descendants and grandchildren knelt down in grief, with tears streaming down their faces.
Ye Dai has been in charge of the family home for so many years, and has a reputation for kindness and justice. Both his descendants and concubines can receive the treatment they deserve.
There is no descendant of the Wang Clan who is not grateful for his kindness and virtue.
Yes, that is a person with a wolfish heart and a dog's lungs!
"Mother!"
At this moment, a figure flashed into the room.
It is Wang Zhenzhen!
Seeing Ye Dai lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she was stunned at first, and her body shook involuntarily.
Immediately, with tears streaming down her face, she knelt down beside Wang Chen: "Mom, I'm sorry, my daughter is late!"
Two years ago, Wang Zhenzhen was practicing in seclusion in his own courtyard.
Although she is the top Grandmaster, she does not have the spiritual awareness of Wang Chen. Seeing that the old lady has no problem either physically or mentally, she is not prepared at all.
Who would have thought that Ye Dai would go so suddenly.
Just now, Wang Zhenzhen suddenly had a feeling in the quiet room, and immediately broke through the barrier and came to the Listening Rain Pavilion.
It turned out to be a step too late.
Although Wang Zhenzhen is already at the age of becoming a grandmother and her mind has been sharpened to a rock solid state, she still couldn't help but shed tears at this moment and felt extremely guilty.
It wasn't until Wang Chen's hand gently pressed on her shoulder that she suddenly came back to her senses. "Daddy."
"It's okay."
Wang Chen said softly, "Your mother passed away peacefully without any pain. All mortals are mortal, so you don't need to apologize."
Wang Zhenzhen nodded with tears in his eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tianyun City A low bell sounded, one after another, echoing in everyone's ears.
People living in this city knew that they had just lost one of their most respected matrons.
For Wang Chen, an endless journey of life and death has just begun.
In fact, before Ye Dai, one of his concubines had passed away. After Ye Dai, Ye Yu also followed his lady.
The next year, Wang Jingxing, the eldest son of Wang Chen, passed away.
In the next ten years, his children and even grandchildren died one by one due to old age, illness or other accidents.
But Wang Clan has not declined because of this, because the number of new students is much greater.
In the past ten years, Wang Chen has never spent a day practicing in seclusion.
His favorite thing to do is to sit by a small river outside the city. With a bamboo pole, silk thread and a fishhook, he can catch fish for a day just sitting there.
In addition, when a new baby is born in Lineage, Wang Chen will also take a look in person.
Feel the unique vitality of life.
He was getting older and his eyes were becoming cloudy. He even fell asleep while sitting by the river fishing, and it took him a long time to wake up.
For this reason, the descendants of the Wang Clan began to prepare secretly.
But Wang Chen is not alone.
Although his wives and concubines are all deceased, his most beloved daughter Wang Zhenzhen is often by his side.
Spend a day fishing with him.
Suddenly one day, Wang Chen put away the fishing rod, smiled at Wang Zhenzhen and said, "Zhen'er, daddy wants to go outside for a visit, can you come with me?"
Wang Zhenzhen replied without thinking, "Wherever the father goes, my daughter will go!"
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Good daughter."
The father and daughter left immediately, leaving only a few words for the people in Lineage.
Wang Clan's descendants were naturally shocked. They felt that Wang Chen was an old fool and was messing around - if he went out like this, could he come back again?
But none of them had the courage to stop him.
So Wang Chen and Wang Zhenzhen embarked on the road to travel for the last time.
The father and daughter re-traveled the same path they took before, and even further, leaving their footprints and shadows on the snow-covered plateau in the south and north.
It also left many new legends in the world of mortals!
Until one day, Wang Chen took Wang Zhenzhen to a very high mountain peak.
He sat down on the top of the mountain, and then told his daughter his true identity and the reason for coming to Mortal World.
Wang Zhenzhen After listening, I couldn't speak for a long time.
She burst into tears. "Dad, are you going back?"
"Yes."
Wang Chen nodded. "Zhen'er, daddy is leaving."
Today, it has just been a hundred years since he came to Mortal World of Mountains and Seas!
