Yun Qing's gaze deepened slightly.
The Immortal Path had been severed, and the Human World had waned. Was this the child of fortune the Human World had gambled everything on over nearly ten thousand years, exhausting all the fate of heaven and earth in one desperate wager?
Compared with the true Radiant Great Sun, unrivaled through Ten Thousand Ages, the Ye Tianchen before him still fell a hundred and eight thousand miles short.
Cradling the little python in his palm, Yun Qing walked leisurely toward his little shop.
Meanwhile, inside Liu Niang's room, the clamor had faded, and peace had finally returned.
Only the two sisters, reunited after a long separation, remained in the room, quietly holding each other with no one to disturb them.
Only then did Liu Niang completely shed the gentle courtesy she showed outsiders and raise her eyes to look straight into those of the woman in her arms.
Liu Niang glanced faintly toward Ye Tianchen next door, the emotions in her eyes impossible to fathom.
She spoke softly, asking an ordinary question. "Where are you planning to go after this?"
-What are you going to do from now on?
Su Wanwan nestled in her arms, the familiar warmth lingering around her nose, and answered softly, "We're planning to head to the Purple Dusk Empire."
"Sister, Great Xia suddenly announced its submission to Purple Dusk throughout its territory today. We heard the commotion while traveling outside town, too. With such upheaval, were you frightened?"
She paused briefly, a trace of longing rising in her eyes as she murmured, "Everyone says the Great Xia Ancient Dynasty came from the Immortal World. I've never seen the upper realm. I really wonder just how vast the Immortal World of the Nine Heavens is."
-I'm going to the upper realm.
