Until the Very End

At the Spirit Bird Peak of the Sword Sect, Jiang Lin and Sheng Yu sat together atop the mountain, watching the clouds drift and gather.

Two white doves were massaging Sheng Yu's shoulders with their wingtips, while two rusty steel wolves were patting Jiang Lin's back with their clenched fists.

"Brother Jiang, so it seems we really are leaving after all?"

Sheng Yu sighed softly, looking at the blue sky and white clouds. Two clouds gathered to form a "3" shape, except that the "3" rotated ninety degrees clockwise, which was quite touching.

"It's been almost two months since I came to the Sword Sect, it's time to leave."

Jiang Lin was also somewhat melancholy.

Jiang Lin was extremely reluctant to leave the Land of Gentle Tenderness and head to the Demon Race World, whose throats had been slit at some unknown time.

Not to mention that Jiang Lin later heard that the so-called Matchmaker Old Man had actually flattered him to death, causing him countless troubles.

Jiang Lin felt certain he was on the cradle of the Cradle List, imagined that once he entered the Demon Race World, he would be hunted down and killed...

"Sheng Yu, if you don't want to leave, that's fine too. I've spoken with Madam Lin, and you can stay at Spirit Bird Peak as long as you want. If you're willing to be a breeding bird, you'll receive a monthly allowance, and you won't be short of Nutrient Express..."

"Chicken~~~~"

Suddenly, Sheng Yu stood up, spread his wings, and cried out, startling several pigeons who turned pale.

"No! Brother Jiang! I want to go with you!"

"Brother Sheng Yu... why do this to yourself?"

"Brother Jiang... we made a promise to go to the Demon Race World together and let loose!"

"Surpassing my brother!"

Brother Jiang!

As the sun set, Jiang Lin stood up, and the two embraced tightly...

After leaving Spirit Bird Peak, Jiang Lin took a long detour to the Sect Leader because his senior sister was teaching Niannian and Qing Lian swordsmanship at Sword Scar Peak.

Are you leaving?

As soon as they stepped into the main peak's magic array, they heard Lin Batian's voice.

On the main peak, Lin Batian and Madam Lin were already standing in front of Jiang Lin.

"It's already two months late; we can't delay any longer."

Jiang Lin bowed respectfully.

"This junior has come to bid you farewell."

Lin Batian gave Jiang Lin Tsundere glare. "Whether you leave or not is none of our business. Hurry up and leave, you've been making me worry all day... ugh..."

Madam Lin gently removed her hand from her husband's waist and smiled, "Does Qingwan know?"

Jiang Lin shook his head. "I haven't said yet, and I don't plan to. I intend to leave tonight, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you then, senior."

Jiang Lin thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still didn't know how to explain it to his senior sister.

They said they were going back to the Sun Moon Sect, but what's the point of taking Qing Lian away with them?

Tell your senior sister the truth, and she'll definitely catch up with you...

Finally, Jiang Lin planned to sneak away while his senior sister was asleep, and asked Uncle Lin and Madam Lin to stop her.

In just ten days, I can disappear without a trace. Even if my senior sister goes to the Demon Race World, she won't be able to find me and will have no choice but to give up.

Looking at Jiang Lin, Madam Lin nodded. "I understand. I'll leave Qing Lian in your care."

Please rest assured, Madam Lin.

Jiang Lin didn't say much; he would definitely take good care of his sister-in- Jiang Lin.

"Then I'll take my leave now; I need to go and make some preparations."

"Hey kid, wait a minute!"

Just as Jiang Lin took off on his Sword Flight, Lin Batian shouted.

Turning around, a bright light widened in Jiang Lin's eyes. Jiang Lin subconsciously caught it, and in his palm was a Miniature Flying Sword.

"This Flying Sword contains one of my sword strikes. Although its power has been reduced considerably, it's still passable, but it can only be used once. I'm not worried about you; I just don't want to owe you too much."

As he spoke, Lin Batian crossed his arms and turned his head away, acting all Tsundere.

"Then thank you, senior. However, when I come to propose marriage, I will not hold back."

"You brat," Lin Batian chuckled, "You'd better get to the Immortal Realm first, or I'll beat you until you wet your pants."

"That shouldn't be the case."

Jiang Lin bowed again. Although Uncle Lin's tone was still sarcastic and Tsundere, Jiang Lin knew from his words that Uncle Lin had given him the opportunity to propose marriage, which made things much easier.

After leaving the main peak, Jiang Lin went to see his senior sisters in the sword scar.

As usual, he joked with his senior sister and led Niannian and the others to look at the mountains and forests that were gradually turning into spring. He secretly wanted to kiss his senior sister, but Jiu Yi discovered him again.

That evening, Jiang Lin personally cooked a nice meal for his senior sister, and also secretly added some of his Secret Sleep Aid to the dishes.

Of course, for a cultivator like Nascent Soul Realm Second Level, sleeping pills alone are not enough.

So Jiang Lin insisted on giving his senior sister a massage tonight.

After dinner, Niannian and Qing Lian fell asleep holding Jiu Yi in their arms. Then, with a slightly flushed face, the senior sister took off her Embroidered Shoes and socks, placing her fair, light pink feet on Jiang Lin's knees.

Jiang Lin began to use his skills as a professional massage therapist to promote his senior sister's blood circulation and accelerate the absorption of the medicine. Jiang Lin also applied some Bewitching Powder to his hands, which could seep into his senior sister's acupoints through her toes.

Lin Qingwan, completely unprepared for Jiang Lin, felt incredibly embarrassed as her beloved kept pressing her toes. However, without realizing it, Lin Qingwan felt her eyes growing increasingly sleepy.

"Senior sister? Senior sister?"

With all three methods employed, after the Soul-Soothing Incense burned out, the senior sister closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling, emitting steady breaths.

Holding his senior sister, Jiang Lin gently laid her flat on the bed, covered her with the blanket, and then, sitting at the head of the bed, he took her soft, boneless hand in his own.

He took out a crystal-clear ring made from the original Sword Body of the First Snow sword (which was also forged from Jiang Lin's innate talent).

Carefully, Jiang Lin slipped the ring onto his senior sister's left ring finger.

Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the woman's beautiful face.

Jiang Lin leaned down and kissed his senior sister on the forehead.

"Senior sister, wait for me!"

Wait a minute, I think I said that to Little Jia too...

"Cough cough cough..."

Composing himself, Jiang Lin placed the envelope he had already written next to his senior sister's pillow.

With Jiu Yi tucked into the middle of his collar, holding his sister-in-law in his left arm and Niannian in his right, Jiang Lin quietly walked out of the courtyard.

At this moment, Sheng Yu was already waiting for Jiang Lin in the courtyard, and Madam Lin had also arrived.

Could it be that Madam Lin is worried that I might do something to my senior sister? Like leaving behind deoxyribose before she leaves?

Madam Lin stepped forward, gently patted Jiang Lin's shoulder, and straightened her collar. "Come back alive."

"Yes."

Under the moonlight, riding a large bird, Jiang Lin rode away, gradually disappearing into the moonlight.

Once the person and bird had disappeared from her sight, Madam Lin quietly entered the room.

With a soft sigh, the mother sat at the head of her daughter's bed, gently stroking her long hair.

The stunningly beautiful woman on the bed bit her red lips tightly, already sobbing uncontrollably.

She didn't fall asleep the entire time.

She knew from beginning to end that he was going to leave.
