As fellow illusion demons, she possessed the freedom she longed for, while he... was forever trapped in this small world, unable to escape for the rest of his life.

"Sigh...it's all fate." Qian Weiwei sighed and continued swinging on the swing.

After coming out, Qian Shudie took a breath of fresh air and let out a disgusted groan.

"What's wrong?" Su Nian asked curiously.

"There's no spiritual energy in the air here at all, it's far inferior to your little world!" Qian Shudie said, clutching her neck.

Su Nian smiled.

"Then why don't you... go back?"

"No, I'd rather stay outside. Although it's spacious inside, it still feels like being in a cage, and I don't feel comfortable at all."

Qian Shudie sat down next to Su Nian. The night was hazy, and the crack in the sky was ferocious and terrifying, as if it had torn a huge hole in the sky.

Qian Shudie gazed at the torn sky, rested her chin on her hand, and asked Su Nian curiously, "Brother Su Nian, do you know who left that cut?"

Su Nian looked in the direction Qian Shudie pointed and saw the opening, then shook her head.

"have no idea."

"Oh... well, the villagers mentioned some kind of curse during the day... how strange, what kind of curse could it be that could allow someone to live for tens of thousands of years?"

Su Nian shook her head again and sat down.

"I've never seen a curse that could make an ordinary person live for ten thousand years, but I think... only immortals could do such a thing, right?"

"Immortal...Can't Brother Su Nian do it?"

“I am not skilled in the art of curses, and I do not know if anyone can do such a thing. If Leng Xingchen were still alive, perhaps I could get the answer from him.”

Although Su Nian was not good at curses or the Dao of Life, he understood that a person who reached the pinnacle of a certain path could unleash heaven-defying power.

For example, Su Nian's method of reincarnation is unprecedented and unparalleled. In terms of the power of reincarnation alone, he believes that even Su Liuli in the present day cannot do anything to him.

"Oh, I see... I see."

Qian Shudie nodded.

She hugged her legs and looked at a flower bud growing by the river in front of her.

She reached out and absentmindedly stroked the green flower bud, murmuring, "What a pity... I thought that after finding the celestial spring, I could transform from a demon into a human..."

Su Nian remained silent.

After a long pause, he replied calmly, "It's too early to give up now. We can ask around in the village tomorrow. They've lived here for tens of thousands of years. Even if they haven't been there, they must know something we don't."

"Uh-huh!"

A cool evening breeze blew by, making people feel chilly.

Su Nian patted Qian Shudie on the shoulder and said, "Alright, shall we go back now? We can decide on the rest when it gets light."

"Mmm!" Qian Shudie nodded and followed Su Nian back into the house.
