Feng Chunming, however, collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

After a while, he felt a little better, and Lü Sanniang and Shuanghua also saw Ye Xianya standing at the kitchen door.

"This... who is this young lady?" Lü Sanniang's expression changed slightly.

"It's the Miss Ye I told you about," Feng Chunming said softly, wiping away his tears.

Upon hearing this, Lü Sanniang quickly stepped in front of Shuanghua.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xianya sighed inwardly.

Lü Sanniang actually knew that her daughter had died long ago, but she just couldn't accept it.

"Miss Ye... Miss Ye, our Frost Flower Clan has never harmed anyone. Even... even the Red Plum who killed her, she didn't touch her in the slightest. She lingered in the mortal world, only reluctant to leave me and her father. She has never harmed anyone, please let her go." Lu San Niang said as she knelt down.

"Get up quickly!" Ye Xianya hurriedly stepped forward to help Lü Sanniang up.

Ye Xianya suppressed her aura and looked just like an ordinary person, so Shuanghua wasn't afraid of her. Instead, she looked at her with some curiosity.

Frost Flower remains the same as when she died; she was only seven years old that year.

The little girl was not very tall, but she was very cute and lovable.

Even a stranger like myself would find such a child wonderful, let alone her parents.

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to let this child go, it’s just that she’s stayed in the human world for too long. The pond can no longer suppress the ghostly aura on her. If she stays any longer, she will either be discovered by the ghost messengers and forcibly taken away to suffer in hell. After all, ghosts who stay in the human world on their own will be punished. Or… she will lose control of herself, absorb the essence of people, become a ghost cultivator, and be beaten to a pulp by cultivators.” Ye Xianya shook her head and said.

Frost Flower has lingered in the mortal realm for too long. If she doesn't reincarnate in the underworld soon, her ghostly aura will lead her down the path of ghost cultivation. In that case, she will become a scourge to the world, and if she is discovered by a Taoist priest, her soul will surely be scattered.

Feng Chunming and Lü Sanniang's expressions changed drastically after hearing her words.

They had planned to live with their daughter for the rest of their lives. Even if their daughter was a ghost, they were not afraid. Even if their bodies were eroded by the ghost's energy, and they were to become worse and worse, and even if they did not live long, they did not care.

But... they couldn't let their daughter suffer in hell or have her soul scattered.

"She was killed by Hongmei back then, and although she harbored resentment in her heart, she cared most about you two. She knew that as long as she killed Hongmei, she would be entangled in karma, either being taken away by the ghost messengers or being destroyed by the cultivators. In order to spend more time with you, she gave up revenge. Now... Hongmei has been taken away by the yamen officials, her crimes have been exposed, and murder must be punished with death. Shuanghua's revenge can be considered avenged, and her obsession has been halved. What remains is you."

Upon hearing this, Lü Sanniang and Feng Chunming burst into tears; they truly couldn't bear to part with their child.

“Shuanghua… Your father and mother are not afraid of death. If keeping you by our side would shorten our lifespan, we would not care. We would rather live like this, die in a few years, and be reincarnated with you. In the next life… perhaps the three of us can still be together, and you can still be our daughter, but…” As Lu Sanniang spoke, she was already sobbing uncontrollably.

They weren't afraid of death; they just wanted to be with their daughter.

But reality dealt them a harsh blow.

If my daughter doesn't reincarnate soon, her soul will be scattered and destroyed.

This is something they absolutely cannot accept.

"Let Shuanghua go," Feng Chunming said in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Lü Sanniang nodded.

"Father, Mother..." Shuanghua couldn't shed a tear, but her face was full of sorrow.

She longed to spend a few more years with her parents, even if it meant her soul would be scattered, but she couldn't bring them to their deaths.

"Shuanghua, in three days it will be the anniversary of your death. I will perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife so that your soul can quickly enter the underworld and be reincarnated. In these three days, you and your family of three can have a good time together. I will come back after three days." After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she turned and left.

She had originally planned to perform a ritual for Shuanghua today, but seeing how reluctant the family of three was to part, she decided to wait until the end.

At worst, I can just make the trip again in three days.

"Thank you very much, Miss Ye." Feng Chunming and Lü Sanniang were extremely excited. Even if it was only for three days, they were satisfied.

After Ye Xianya left, the couple hurriedly tried to hold their daughter's hand, but they couldn't grasp anything.

“I… I should have known. For the past three years, especially the last three months, I have seen Shuanghua every day, but she won’t let me hold her, won’t let me hold her hand, and rarely speaks. I… I just don’t want to face it. I just hope the child is still alive. Husband, I’m sorry…” Lu San Niang said while wiping away her tears.

“I understand, you just want to be with the child, I understand. We…we won’t talk about the past anymore. These three days, the three of us will spend quality time together as a family.” Feng Chunming shed tears again.

It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but this man who shoulders the heavy burden of his family could not control himself at all today.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Ye Xianya smiled.

In her past life, she had never experienced what family affection was. Although her master was good to her, he was also very strict. Especially after she showed her extraordinary talent for cultivation, her master hoped that she could attain immortality and his demands on her became higher and higher. There was no warmth to speak of. Although her senior brothers and sisters were good to her, everything slowly changed as her status rose and she took charge of the sect.

It wasn't until this life, when she had a mother and family, that she truly experienced what it felt like to be pampered.

Therefore, Ye Xianya was willing to grant their wish.

She'll come back in three days; it's no problem.

...

The night deepened.

Yu Yanzhong followed Xie Peng on his spirit beast, traveling for a day and a half, covering more than three thousand miles, and finally entered the territory of the Silent Abyss Kingdom.

"Senior brother, the Jiyuan Kingdom has been plagued by internal strife in recent years. Emperor Yan Shenghong of Jiyuan Kingdom has reached an agreement with the three demon kings to divide the country into north and south, with the Qilin Mountains in the central part of Jiyuan Kingdom as the boundary. The north will belong to the demon kings, and the south will belong to the Jiyuan Kingdom royal family. The southern territory bordering our Great Yan Dynasty is the southern territory controlled by the Jiyuan Kingdom royal family. The Yellow Leopard Demon is in the Demon Realm Mountains in the north. The Demon Realm Mountains are even larger than the Qilin Mountains, extremely majestic and magnificent, with the mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. There are many ferocious beasts and demons in the mountains. There are several powerful demons like the Yellow Leopard Demon in the Demon Realm Mountains. We must be careful."

Yu Yanzhong nodded upon hearing this: "How long will it take to get from here to the Demon Realm Mountains?"

“The Kingdom of Jiyuan is not as large as our Great Yan Dynasty. At our previous speed, it would take us another three hours to reach the Demon Realm Mountains from here. We should be able to arrive by dawn.” Xie Peng said, looking at the two spirit beasts: “I just don’t know if the spirit beasts can hold on.”

"You don't need to worry about that. I fed them some pills, so they can hold on," Yu Yanzhong said nonchalantly.
