Willing to Die on the Same Year, Month, and Day

What is real, what is illusion? Life is a series of images and sounds; what we see, hear, and feel weaves together joy and sorrow, reflecting the past.

Fang Yuzhu wore women's trousers, high heels, and a T-shirt, her black hair falling naturally. Calling her Goddess would be an understatement. Although very modern, her deep eyes seemed to be cast upon an ancient scene. At this moment, she was silent, like a maple leaf, quietly welcoming the autumn wind, beautiful and serene, yet with a hint of loneliness.

Wang Xuan realized that she had her own story. Even a peerless immortal has moments of powerlessness and a past she has never been able to let go of.

"Did I lose my composure?" Fang Yuzhu turned her head to the side, her eyes calm and clear as still water.

"No, you were watching very intently, so I didn't disturb you," Wang Xuan shook his head.

In another screening room, Zhang Daoling glanced at Mingxue and said, "You're overthinking it. Who is Fang Yuzhu? She single-handedly killed several peerless ancient cultivators, ending the glory of the ancient times with her own strength. How could such a person be affected by External Sensation? She is now genuinely trying to integrate into the mortal world and integrate into modern life. Not everyone has this mindset, truly able to let go. For example, in this society, can your Nether Blood Sect Ancestor put down your airs?"

"I... am trying to adapt." The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, realizing that he was finding it hard to accept living an ordinary life.

In his plan, at the very least, he will establish a livestock group to solve the livelihood problems of his disciples and grand-disciples, and he will not watch the people around him adapt to the 996 work system.

"Yes, I was overthinking it. Although that person was a very good person and wanted to get close to Fairy Fang, she politely declined. But Fang Yuzhu obviously had regrets too. That person died in front of her to save her, and was blasted to pieces. If it were the Demon Ancestor's wolfish heart, it would be fine. If it were the Demon Ancestor's heartlessness, it would be fine. But no matter what, she would definitely be grateful. Unfortunately, she missed her chance and couldn't save that person."

The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor said that if Fang Yuzhu didn't cherish the past and remember kindness, she would be no different from Qi Yi and the Demon Ancestor.

"So, Wang Xuan really has a special Inner Scenery Realm. Fang Yuzhu was moved after seeing it. Is this intentional protection? Is she afraid that Zheng Yuantian form will descend and capture him?" The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor laughed.

Zhang Daoling glanced at him and said, "Xiao Ming, those who know too much often die a tragic death. I vaguely saw the moment of your tragic end."

"Xiao Ming?!" The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor wanted to spit in his face. This was too much. This was much worse than Xiao Little Zhang. Then he said, "I will live as long as the heavens and strive to die on the same day, month, and year as you."

Zhang Daoling was incredibly annoyed. You could have just indirectly praised my longevity, saying I was on par with the heavens, but why should I die with you? He really wanted to throw a bronze mirror at him.

Fang Yuzhu continued watching the drama and calmly said, "I thought of a friend who saved me twice, but I couldn't save his life."

Wang Xuan said, "In this life, who doesn't have some regrets? Otherwise, how can we say that we have lived a meaningful life?"

He added, "Of course, there are exceptions: heartless people and people like Old Zhang who have been given a diagnosis, who are atypical."

"Ancestor Zhang, I think I heard someone talking about you." Nether Blood Sect Ancestor laughed. Now, when the two of them were talking, they used their mental energy fields to block the sound, so it couldn't be heard from outside. But Wang Xuan didn't realize that there was an atypical human listening to him.

"He's slandering me again. I'll find a chance to beat him up a hundred times!" Zhang Shen was hostile, filled with murderous intent.

"The past was glorious, but it was also stained with blood. Some things are irreparable and have all become the past." Fang Yuzhu spoke, her words calm, but there was also a sense of sadness in them. That person died too tragically.

Even if she killed four peerless masters, what difference would it make? It wouldn't change a person's fate.

Then, she became engrossed in the end credits until the screening ended and the lights came on. Only then did she say, "I've discovered that watching more dramas isn't so bad. Although they're exaggerated, they also reflect aspects of reality. However, I got quite absorbed in the drama."

Wang Xuan felt that the drama was largely similar to her own experiences, which touched her deeply.

He began, "The course of life is inherently a fluctuation of emotions. You were so engrossed in watching that I didn't say anything, but I found it quite genuine. People who are focused are the most authentic; whether they are living in the present or dwelling on the past, it's all an attitude reflected in their hearts."

The two walked outside and quickly got rid of the movie plot issues and returned to normal. It wasn't too late, so they strolled along the pedestrian street, ate some local snacks, and then headed back.

Old Zhang and the Nether Blood Sect were enjoying skewers and beer at a small shop on the street. In the early summer season, the two cult leaders were like ordinary people, watching the beautiful women on the street, the neon lights flashing, and chatting about the past five thousand years behind the Great Curtain.

"Holy crap, isn't that Ancestor Zhang? And... the Dark Blood Demon! The two of them are eating barbecue skewers, so down-to-earth!" On the street, Huang Ming was astonished from a distance, almost speechless.

"Shut up!" Kong Yun said, quickly pulling him away to avoid being overheard. However, he was also shocked. Those were two patriarchs, actually eating skewers and drinking draft beer on the street. This scene was too unusual.

"I think I heard someone calling my name. You, and you, come here." The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor spoke, his voice not loud, but it clearly rang in the ears of Great Immortal Huang and Kong Yun.

Huang Ming stopped with a bitter expression, but when he turned around, he was all smiles. He and Kong Yun went over to perform a grand salute.

Zhang Daoling immediately stopped him, saying that doing this on the street would attract a crowd if seen, and said, "From now on, behave like ordinary people in the human world."

"Yes, Ancestor Zhang!" Kong Yun nodded.

"What are you two wandering around for?" Mingxue asked.

Great Immortal Huang seemed a little reserved, but still responded earnestly, saying, "We are choosing a location and picking out shops. We want to start a business in Old Earth."

The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor was speechless. His subordinates were even more enthusiastic than him. He had ideas, but hadn't taken any action yet, and now they were about to open for business.

Zhang Daoling sighed, noting that the younger the people who emerged from behind the curtain, the more adaptable they were; they were ready to integrate seamlessly into the world and work in the real world.

"Are you... reliable?" Old Zhang asked, worried that they might break the law or cause trouble.

"Don't worry, it's a legitimate business. I'll open a coffee shop and a relaxing and quiet tea room." Huang Ming's eyes lit up when he talked about his business.

Kong Yun added, "After we came from New Star, we conducted research for more than half a month, learned about various market conditions, and have already successfully attracted investors."

The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor was dumbfounded. He also wanted to start a company, and a group one at that, but he was completely clueless about it. And now these two kids already had investors? And they were even pretending to do some research? What a joke!

Old Zhang, who knew the ways of the world, said, "You two, you're not planning to cheat or swindle me, are you?"

Huang Ming protested, "How could that be? We have to be responsible to our investors. Don't worry, our coffee shop and tea room are very unique, featuring a fairy-tale style!"

"Alright, you two can go now!" Old Zhang waved his hand. If they really broke the law, someone would deal with them. Now that all parties have signed the code of conduct, anyone who crosses the line will be dealt with.

The two didn't leave immediately. Huang Ming insisted on giving Zhang Daoling and the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor a 10% stake each, leaving Old Zhang speechless. Weren't these two integrating too quickly? When in Rome, do as the Romans do—they've even learned these dirty tricks? They've gone too far in connecting with the locals.

The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor was lost in thought and deeply moved. He realized that he was too inefficient and his thinking was too conservative. He had to take bold steps and get the livestock group company up and running as soon as possible.

"Two patriarchs, we'll be opening soon, so please come and support us!" Huang Ming was reluctant to leave and tried to get close to Kong Yun until Kong Yun forcibly pulled him away.

"You know what, this weasel might actually do very well in the future, while some honest and hardworking cultivation geniuses might not be as good as him," the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor sighed.

"Survival of the fittest. In such a great environment, if a genius in cultivation is willing to humble himself, he will not do badly with his abilities."

Zhang Daoling shook his head, finished the last of his skewers, drank the last of his wine, and the two of them got up and left together.

"Let's go, let's stay in Ancheng for a while. Old Ming, go find a hotel to book a room. But I'm warning you, if you dare to book one this time, I guarantee I'll beat you to death!" Old Zhang warned sternly, shaking the rusty broken bronze mirror in his hand.

The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Bah! Do you think you're some kind of peerless fairy who would willingly share a room with me? What are you thinking!"

The two patriarchs were so down-to-earth; they walked to the hotel and didn't follow Wang Xuan this time.

Wang Xuan drove Fang Yuzhu back to the Secret Road organization's branch. The manor was large and had many rooms.

Qing Mu had already made arrangements. In the backyard, near the reed-filled lake, there were row villas next to each other. One of them was Wang Xuan's long-standing residence, and the other, after being cleaned up, became Fang Yuzhu's residence.

Upon returning, Wang Xuan escorted Fang Yuzhu to the door, then turned and went into the adjacent residence. He didn't even consider going in with Fairy Fang for a pleasant evening chat.

Today, he has been bold enough, making all sorts of decisions on his own without consulting Fang Yuzhu. However, these are all minor matters, and he doesn't care.

As for getting any closer, forget it. This is the renowned Fairy Fang, who has killed more than one peerless master. We should still show her the respect she deserves.

He felt that Fang Yuzhu probably didn't care and would just laugh it off, given his various "arrangements" from evening until now, but it would definitely be inappropriate for him to be too casual.

As for any romantic notions like a celestial being descending to earth or someone getting close to the mortal world, he didn't even consider them. Who was that person? The strongest alchemist of the Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners. She appeared gentle and elegant, but that was because she was easygoing, radiating kindness, and had a relaxed mind. She wanted to actively integrate into the world and had no airs.

If anyone is truly overestimating themselves and harboring all sorts of wild ideas, they're simply overthinking things and will only end up getting hurt. How could Fang Yuzhu has cultivated for so long, possibly "fall" into the mortal world in such a short time?

At the very least, for now, she remains an unparalleled fairy, pure and flawless, as if standing in the divine moon, making it difficult for her to completely transform into an ordinary woman.

Back in his room, Wang Xuan began his cultivation, circulating the Supreme Scriptures and studying the blue crystal of creation on his body, which was very important to him.

The second chapter should be finished within half an hour.
