A few days later, only Xiao Hongyi and the mess were left on the top of the dangerous peak.

Looking around, she felt an unprecedented pain in her heart.

This was once her and Jiang Chen's home, but it was destroyed by her own hands.

Her expression became numb again. Even though she was heartbroken and could hardly breathe, her facial features remained indifferent, except that tears would flow from her eyes, which looked extremely weird.

She floated down the dangerous peak and came to the edge of the natural moat.

She wanted to go to the upper domain, but no matter how hard she tried, she would be blown back by the cold wind in the moat.

She did not give up and kept trying.

Gradually.

Perhaps it was the influence of the cold wind, or perhaps the Phoenix Blood was more serious.

She,

seemed to have lost the ability to speak.

She clearly wanted to raise her head and scream, and clearly wanted to beg the power that brought her here, begging for her to go find Jiang Chen.

But in the end, no matter how hard she tried, she could only make a strange sound of "ah, oh".

Only...

"Jiang Chen..." she kept shouting.

Whenever she called this name, she would reveal a strange and stiff smile.

Hiding during the day and coming out at night, the seasons change.

She had wandered in the heavy rain, and her red clothes were once covered by white snow. As spring went by and winter came, no matter how hot the sun was, she could only feel the biting cold.

She still had a trace of rationality, but hallucinations became more frequent.

I don't know since when, two boys with the same appearance appeared beside her.

One boy was dressed in white, and his smile was like the dawn and dusk, refreshing.

One boy was dressed in black, and although he was also smiling, his smile was full of vicissitudes and helplessness.

"Master, do you believe in fate?" asked the boy in white.

"Master, do you accept your fate?" asked the boy in black.

She wanted to smile at the boy in white, but her smile was ugly. She wanted to hug the boy in black and cry, but her raised hands could only pass through the boy in black.

No one noticed.

At the edge of the natural moat leading to the upper domain, there was a woman who was already like a madman.

Finally.

One day.

A familiar figure floated from the direction of the upper domain.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly and his tears blurred his eyes, Xiao Hongyi could recognize him at a glance.

That person was the one she had been waiting for for many years.

Jiang Chen's appearance made her sober again.

She could laugh again and regained her ability to speak.

Although her laugh was still a little ugly, she kept trying.

Because she couldn't cry.

Because Jiang Chen said that she didn't look good when she cried.

As a master, she had always disappointed Jiang Chen. In this world, she couldn't change anything and didn't want to disappoint Jiang Chen anymore.

Jiang Chen couldn't see her and walked on his own in front.

She tried to follow him, her red clothes swaying, stumbling, and it seemed that she was struggling.

Both of them were cultivators, but they walked slowly like mortals.

They walked across the land, climbed mountains and rivers, and crossed thousands of rivers.

Although Jiang Chen had never said a word since he reappeared, Xiao Hongyi didn't care. She just talked about some interesting things in the past, and then cried and laughed.

She didn't know where Jiang Chen was going, but it didn't matter.

Because this was the first time that she really waited for Jiang Chen. No matter where the destination was, she was willing to follow him even if it was hell.

The two walked side by side, and this walk lasted for several years.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen stopped.

Puzzled, Xiao Hongyi looked into the distance, and her pupils shrank slightly.

Not far away, there was a dangerous peak that soared into the clouds...

Unexpectedly, the two of them returned here in the end.

The top of the dangerous peak was once her and Jiang Chen's home. But now, it has become a ruin...

Her heart suddenly hurt.

The two boys who had disappeared for a long time and looked the same appeared again.

"Master, are we going home?" asked the boy in white.

"Master, is there still a home there?" asked the boy in black.

Guilt, self-blame, sin and other emotions made Xiao Hongyi breathless.

She clearly said that that was Jiang Chen's home.

She clearly promised that if Jiang Chen had nowhere to go, he could go there and stay there for the rest of his life.

But...

Where is the home?

The red jade pavilion had long since turned into broken eaves and broken walls, the spiritual pond had long since collapsed, and the spiritual field was already in a mess.

Seeing Jiang Chen continue to move forward, as if he was going to the top of the dangerous peak.

Xiao Hongyi panicked.

She couldn't imagine it.

After many years, Jiang Chen came back again. If he saw the "home" that had become a ruin, how painful would his heart be?

If Jiang Chen left again and went to the upper domain, wouldn't she be separated from him again?

Xiao Hongyi didn't want to disappoint Jiang Chen, especially this time, no matter what.

She walked forward quickly, opened her arms, and blocked Jiang Chen's way.

When she was about to say something, Jiang Chen passed through her body.

She caught up with him again, and said in a voice that was almost begging, trying to smile, and continued:

"Jiang Chen, don't go there, okay?"

"Let's leave here, I'll accompany you wherever you want to go, okay?"

"You don't have to talk, don't pay attention to me, as long as you are by my side."

"Jiang Chen, I was wrong."

"I was totally wrong, and the wrong offense is unforgivable. You can punish me in any way you want, just... just please don't go."

"Please, don't go..."

As Jiang Chen floated towards the top of the dangerous peak, her voice became softer and softer, and her sobbing became heavier.

Jiang Chen walked away.

Xiao Hongyi smiled desperately and shouted at his back: "Jiang Chen, that is not home! It has never been! I lied to you. At the beginning, I just wanted to influence you, but in fact, even I never regarded it as home. Home!!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter where your home is, what matters is where you are..." she said to herself again.

The shouting had no effect, and Jiang Chen's figure almost disappeared from sight.

She quickly caught up.

Do your best.

The two of them landed on the top of the dangerous peak one after the other.

She looked up and felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

The Red Pavilion in front of me is intact as before, the Lingtan spring water is still sparkling, and there are still birds and animals playing in the Lingtian.

Everything is back to how it was before, but something is different.

Beside the Lingtan, there is an extra jade table.

On the jade table, there is a brand new fishing rod and several spiritual fruits.

Beside the jade table, a woman in red is sitting on a stool, holding a small spiritual sword and "cruelly" cutting the spiritual fruit in her hand. Sometimes the woman will look in the direction of the upper realm and let out a deep sigh.

Xiao Hongyi rubbed her eyes, then squatted on the ground like a child, crying loudly.

This time I cried out of happiness.

As a master, at least this time, she did not disappoint Jiang Chen.

At least this time.

Although she destroyed this and Jiang Chen's home with her own hands, she still rebuilt it.

At least this time, she remembered her promise and guarded this place where Jiang Chen could "be lazy".

As a master, she finally didn't break her promise for once.

Xiao Hongyi didn't know how long she cried.

Maybe it's a few hours, maybe it's a few days.

The crying gradually stopped, and with a strong nasal voice, she looked to her side and said, "Jiang Chen..."

The sound stopped suddenly.

She was stunned for a moment.

She clearly came here with Jiang Chen, she clearly stood beside Jiang Chen, and she could still feel Jiang Chen's breath and temperature just a second ago.

But at this moment...

There is nothing, nothing around me.

She thought she had finally waited for Jiang Chen, thought that walking through thousands of mountains and rivers with Jiang Chen, thought that was the happiest moment.

But the truth is.

The Jiang Chen who has always been by her side is also an illusion...

In a trance.

The young man in white appeared again, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the pool, fishing with a hanging rod.

"Wow--"

A huge spiritual fish was caught by him, and the boy in white smiled and said: "Haha, spiritual fish, spiritual fish, if it falls into my hands, Jiang Chen, you will be Master's dinner today!"

"..."

Xiao Hongyi burst into tears again.

She quickly stepped forward, hugged the young man in white from behind, and kept apologizing and repenting.

"Master, why are you crying?" The boy in white turned around and asked.
