"What if I don't want to?"

Let go? Impossible!

With a leap, he appeared beside Bei Yan and forcefully pulled him into his arms.

His arms held the person in his arms tightly, not giving Bei Yan any chance to escape.

"you!"

Bei Yan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, never expecting Jun Lin to do such a thing.

Do you know what you're doing right now?!

She knew she should be angry and break free, but why did her heart sink uncontrollably when Jun Lin's familiar aura surrounded her?

"Of course I know, I'm holding my wife."

Having reincarnated three times, he finally returned; how could he possibly let him go?

Don't even think about it. For all eternity, she can only belong to him!

"Let me go!" He tried to suppress the despair in his heart and spoke coldly.

"Impossible! Unless I die!" The almost obsessive tone, so domineering and forceful, made Bei Yan's heart tremble.

"you……"

"Oh? Aren't the young couple doing just fine? It seems the old man's trip was a bit unnecessary."

A cheerful voice came from behind them, and the two of them looked in the direction from which the voice came from. They saw an old man wearing a red gauze robe with a big smile on his face.

The old man had a white beard, which he braided into a plait, perhaps because it was too long and in the way, and tied the end with a red string.

"Let me go." Seeing the smiling faces watching them, Bei Yan's ears turned red, and she spoke softly.

Jun Lin seemed not to hear, tightening his grip on Bei Yan's arm even more, answering Bei Yan with his actions.

The deity's face had regained its usual coldness and aloofness. His silver eyes looked at the old man, and he spoke with an uncertain tone:

"Your Excellency is... the Old Man Under the Moon?"

The old man was even happier, his smile almost blooming like a chrysanthemum: "Not bad, not bad. I never thought that someone would recognize me, an old man standing outside the Three Realms."

He stroked his beard, looked at Junlin with a smile, and said, "Young man, you have great potential."

Junlin: "..."

Beiyan: "..."

"Your Excellency, is there something you need?" Jun Lin, with Bei Yan in his arms, leaped down from the crabapple tree and came before the Old Man of the Moon, bowing in greeting.

The woman who stopped Bei Yan showed no intention of letting go, leaving Bei Yan with no choice but to bow in return.

Before the Old Man Under the Moon could speak, something resembling a pill furnace appeared from behind him.

Unlike ordinary alchemy furnaces, this one is three-dimensionally humanoid, with a nose, mouth, eyebrows, ears, and feet that can barely be considered as hands and feet.

The alchemy furnace flew over from beside the Old Man Under the Moon, hovering around Bei Yan: "You stinky woman, long time no see, have you missed me?"

Bei Yan was stunned. That familiar yet irritating voice...

Pointing his finger at the alchemy furnace, he exclaimed in disbelief, "You...you...the system???"

"Yes, yes, it's this system, Lingling! Surprised? Unexpected?!"

Lingling flew to Bei Yan and, with her barely passable limbs, struck what she thought was a particularly cool pose with a lot of narcissism.

The expression on his face was incredibly smug.

Bei Yan reached out and poked Lingling's alchemy furnace body, saying with considerable sympathy:

"How come you've gone from a high-tech system to this pill-making furnace in just one day? What, you can't do without me anymore? Have you fallen?"

Lingling stood frozen in place, nearly shattered by Bei Yan's words. Her finger trembled as she pointed at him, screaming, "You...you...you!!!"
