"However, I overlooked one thing," Xue Ran said quietly. "The people I know, the people who know me, have died generation after generation. After seeing so many of them, I started to get bored again. So I keep adopting babies, looking for people among them who can make me happy. Xiao Li'er, Shan Ya, Zhi Jian, Yue Yue, and Liu Nian... I want to find someone to live forever with me."

"You mean...Liu Nian?" Feng Guang asked in surprise. "You mean Mu Liu Nian from Qian Jin Ge?"

“It’s her. By the way, you didn’t know that, did you?” Xue Ran found her surprised look extremely cute, so she lowered her head and kissed her. “I founded the Valley of Old Friends, the Demonic Sect, and the Thousand Gold Pavilion. I was bored, so I liked to find things to do to pass the time.”

Moreover, it is rumored that the All-Knowing Scholar of the martial arts world knows the secrets of everyone in the martial arts world. When the previous generation of All-Knowing Scholar dies, the position of the Pavilion Master of Qianjin Pavilion will be passed on to the next generation who will succeed the title of All-Knowing Scholar. But the truth is that every generation of All-Knowing Scholar is the same person.

Xue Ran has many faces and many identities: the all-knowing scholar, the Holy Lord of Medicine and Poison, and the previous leader of the Demonic Sect. These are just a few examples in the long five hundred years.

Hearing this, Feng Guang should have been extremely surprised, but as for Xue Ran, no matter how shocking his identity became, she found it all quite natural. However, she was puzzled, "I wasn't in your batch of candidates, so why did you approach me?"

“You’re not among the candidates because you’re an exception.” Xue Ran’s clear, innocent eyes were filled with tenderness, and with the joy of a child receiving a toy from their parents.

Back then, Xia Chao and his wife had been married for many years but had no children. Xia Chao asked him for a fertility medicine, and as a result, Feng Guang was born. However, he never paid attention to Feng Guang. Even when Xia Chao sent Feng Guang to the Valley of Old Friends, he only thought that if he couldn't find what he wanted, Feng Guang would still be useful. But he did not expect that Feng Guang would have such a big impact on his emotions.

"Keeping Qingyu and Yueyue by my side, just thinking about the possibility that one day they'll find out the truth and come looking for revenge makes me feel like my life won't be so boring." Xue Ran's calm tone revealed an incomprehensible tenderness. Immortality is too long, and others simply cannot comprehend it. "Fengguang, you are different from them. You came into this world because of me, and you are destined to be mine."

Because of him, she was born, so her life should have belonged to him. Only when she was by his side did Xue Ran feel his heart, which had been calm, start beating again. He couldn't help but think back to those days without her, those long days, which were just too boring.

"That elixir of immortality..." Feng Guang heard his own voice dry and strained, "Who were you originally planning to give it to?"

He answered honestly, "I originally intended to give it to Yueyue, but that was a plan before I met you, my wife, you mustn't be jealous."

That one word, "wife," could make a man's heart tremble. In the past, he was reluctant to call her that except in bed, because he was a very shy person. For example, even now, his ears were red.

In a daze, she thought he was still the same Xue Ran she knew. She raised her hand and covered his slightly cold face. His eyes suddenly lit up with a light, like the joy of a child receiving a reward. She couldn't help but lift her head and kiss his lips, saying slowly, "Xue Ran, I am destined not to be the one who accompanies you to immortality."

"Why?" He grabbed her hand that was covering his face.

Her smile was tinged with sorrow, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. "Because... I don't have much time left."

"It's alright, I can cure any poison in the world." Xue Ran wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, not minding that it stained his white clothes. He smiled and said, "I'll take you back, and you'll be fine soon."

"It's too late... I calculated the time when the poison would take effect. This poison was developed by Qingyu to cure Danya's poison, so I have to thank you. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to find a powerful poison."

Hearing that Qingyu was not dead, he was not surprised. Perhaps he had a premonition when Qingyu's body disappeared with her. He stubbornly said, "I will go find Qingyu. Phoenix blood can cure all poisons. You will be fine."

"I told you... it's too late..." She frowned tightly, clearly in excruciating pain, yet she still had the leisure to complain, "Qingyu, I'll have to tell him when I get the chance that he should have made the poison less awful..."
