The music ends with elegance.

Benben carried the letter to a lake on the border.

The surrounding wilderness was desolate, except for a patch of clear blue water in the desert, like an amber gem set in the earth.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, with sand and dust obscuring his eyes, Benben rubbed them for a long time, making faces.

Just shout it out loud.

He called out Wenqing's name, and after a short while, the woman's voice responded.

Benben took small steps, his insteps sinking into the sand, leaving deep and shallow footprints.

Walking to the riverbank, Wenqing sat on a stone pier, picked up some pebbles at her feet, and threw them into the calm lake.

With a soft splash, ripples spread across the lake, gently spreading into the distance.

"Sister Wenqing, this is a letter he asked me to give to you." Benben pulled the crumpled letter out of his pocket. Sand got into his clothes, and even the letter was torn.

Wenqing took it, glanced at it, then tore it to pieces and threw it into the lake.

"That's it?" Benben wondered.

Wen Qing cursed him in front of him, "This idiot."

Why would someone suddenly start swearing? Benben is completely baffled.

He couldn't understand the situation by talking to him, so he got up and walked away.

"Sister Wenqing, don't go!" Benben hurriedly called out to her. "I've delivered the letter. What should I say if he asks me what you said?"

She ignored his questions and walked even faster.

Benben could only chase after them while constantly calling for help.

As they walked, they bumped into Wenqing's back. Benben cried out in pain, looked up, and saw that Kubei was standing not far away.

It turned out that Benben had been delayed in the Demon Palace for quite some time, and when he couldn't get any news, he went straight to Lin Yueyao and that's how he found her.

Even someone as foolish as Benben knew he should avoid the situation at this moment, so he tactfully slipped away to a nearby spot where he could observe but not hear anything.

Benben sat on the stone bench, watching the two people talking in the distance, while he waded into the water, transformed into a wolf, and started catching fish.

The lake was teeming with plump fish, and Benben caught several in one go, carrying the lively fish ashore.

It brandished its sharp claws, and with one swipe, ripped open the fish's belly, spilling its intestines, heart, and lungs all over the ground.

Sinking into the desert, consciously being swallowed up.

He laid out the cleaned fish meat on the stone, filling it to the brim.

The border was bathed in scorching sunlight, and in no time, the plump and tender fish meat was dried into the shape of shoe insoles.

Benben carefully packed everything into his pocket, but there wasn't enough room left, so he also put in the spirit pouch that Fairy Moon had sewn for him.

After the meat jerky was packed, from a distance, one could see Wenqing and Kubei chatting and laughing.

"I don't need him anymore," Benben said, turning around and walking back.

On the way, they encountered the departing Master Xuantong, who was followed by two people.

Benben recognized them, but didn't get a chance to speak. He ignored the two and greeted Master Xuantong.

"Old man," Benben greeted him, "Are you leaving?"

Master Xuantong patted his head and said, "I will come to see your master and Yueya again another day."

"Are you leaving so soon?" Benben was a little reluctant to see them go.

"Even a long shed built over a thousand miles must come to an end," Master Xuantong comforted him. "We will meet again."

Even so, Benben was still jealous and couldn't muster any interest.

Master has the Moon Fairy, Sister Wenqing has Crying Sorrow for company, and Brother Crown Prince is going into hibernation.

He was all alone.

Thinking about this, Benben almost cried.

Seeing that he was in great pain, Master Xuantong said, "Why don't you come with me?"

"I'm planning to go on a trip in the next few days. Would you like to come with me?"

"Is it okay?" Benben suddenly looked up, his dejected face changing.

"Why not?"

"Alright, I'll inform my master."

Benben ran a few steps forward, then turned around and ran back. Why bother making the trip? He could have just written a letter.

With all the provisions prepared, now is the perfect time to leave.

Master Xuantong plucked a strand of hair, which transformed into a letter paper. Benben then used his own hair as pen and ink, hastily scribbling away—

"Goodbye, Master Moon Fairy. Tonight I will be embarking on a long voyage with this old man (just kidding). I hope that after I leave, you will all be happy, eat on time, and sleep on time."

And please, Sister Wenqing and the others, don't fight!

If you miss me, you can write to me, and I will reply when I receive your letter.

Although I don't know when I'll be back after I leave, it could be tomorrow, or it could be ten years from now.

If there are any pretty older women out there, please help me choose one. I also want to marry a pretty older woman as... um... my wife.

(The handwriting is getting increasingly messy) And the Crown Prince, I hope he stops drinking human blood. Tomato jam would be quite good.

Let me think about what else to write (ink blob)... (doodle)... Take me away...

...Old man...give it to me...

Hahahahahahahahaha..."

Rong Yan frowned as he finished reading the letter, and Lin Yueyao put it away.

"That brat, he's gotten too big for his britches."

"Let him be."
