Ming Yi hadn't expected her to know about this place; she must have heard it from Wu Hua, so he decided not to hide it from her any longer.
"I know that's probably where I'll end up. I'll spend the rest of my life guarding the Three Realms, which will be my way of atoning for my sins."
After he finished speaking, Qin Luo did not refute him, feeling that it was only natural, but then asked another question.
"What about Zhao'er? Have you ever thought about her?"
Ming Yi was very pleased that she was thinking about Ming Zhao's future.
"Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to Zhao'er."
Seeing his certainty, Qin Luo became uneasy.
"What exactly are you planning to do? Since we're family, we shouldn't hide things from each other. We have the right to know your next plans."
Ming Yi simply smiled and didn't answer the question. Instead, he inquired about her thoughts.
"So what is your plan? I'd like to hear how you intend to arrange things between me and Zhao'er."
"I…"
"You just said that family members shouldn't hide anything from each other."
Qin Luo hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered so quickly, so she recounted the plan she had discussed with Wu Hua without reservation.
Ming Yi was both happy and heartbroken after hearing this.
"How can you come with me to that dangerous place? No, absolutely not."
Ming Zhao also held her hand, sobbing softly.
"Sister, I don't want your kindness. Father said I'm just one step away from becoming a vengeful spirit. You don't need to worry about me."
Hearing this, Qin Luo was overjoyed: "Really? What's the next step?"
After she finished asking, she and Ming Zhao looked at Ming Yi.
Faced with their direct gazes, Mingyi had no choice but to make up an explanation.
"There is still one artifact missing. I cannot obtain it at the moment. I will have to wait until I enter the Underworld."
Upon hearing that they were going to the underworld, Qin Luo immediately hatched a wicked plan.
"Then I'll try to sneak in quietly. First, draw a picture of the artifact so I can see it."
Upon hearing that she was about to act recklessly, Ming Yi hurriedly stopped her.
"No, the underworld isn't a place you can just sneak into. If you're discovered, you'll be used as fertilizer."
For some reason, Qin Luo felt a strong sense of familiarity when he said the last sentence.
"Flower fertilizer? Is it fertilizer for the red spider lily?"
Ming Yi thought she had activated some kind of memory, after all, whether it was Shi Lisheng at the very beginning or Ming You in between.
Or perhaps they were fragments of souls shattered into pieces; they never drank the Meng Po soup.
Perhaps those ancient memories still linger deep within Qin Luo's soul, and who knows when she might recall them.
So, Mingyi quickly changed the subject.
"Can you promise me that you will never trespass into the underworld or accompany me to the land of chaos?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo mimicked his previous behavior and asked in return.
"And what about you? Can you promise me you won't give up on yourself?"
Seeing that Ming Yi remained silent, Qin Luo knew he wouldn't, and her tone softened.
“If we make a mistake, we’ll try our best to make up for it. If one year isn’t enough, we’ll try two. If two years isn’t enough, we’ll try ten or a hundred. Eventually, we can offset all those karmic obstacles.”
In truth, Ming Yi was prepared to die; it wasn't that he was unwilling to go to the Chaos Land to fight the demons.
Rather, it was the last divine artifact that Ming Zhaoque possessed, which could only be refined using his heart.
Therefore, he dared not agree to Qin Luo's request, fearing that he might not be able to do it and upset her.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking? The underworld hasn't officially issued an ultimatum yet, how can you condemn your father so quickly?"
Qin Luo remained silent upon hearing this, clearly annoyed at not getting the answer he wanted.
Seeing this, Ming Yi glanced at Ming Zhao, who immediately understood.
She leaned her head against Qin Luo, her tone becoming slightly coquettish.
"Sister, don't worry. Father's sins were all because of me, so these karmic consequences will naturally fall on me..."
"What? You want to die too?"
She interrupted Ming Zhao sharply, then chuckled softly.
"Hehe, then I'll go too. The three of us can go together on the road to the underworld, see the red spider lilies blooming on the banks of the River of Oblivion, and then sink into hell together."
Her tone was extremely calm, so calm that both Ming Yi and Ming Zhao were a little frightened.
"No, Luo'er, that's not what I meant. If I had another chance, how could I not want to enjoy family life with you two sisters?"
When Mingyi said this, his eyes were full of tenderness, as if he wished time could stand still at this moment.
“But when I committed those heinous crimes, I knew I would be arrested one day. I will not evade the punishment I deserve, and I will go wherever I am meant to go. But you really can’t do it.”
Why?
"Because you are the messenger of the auspicious beast, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your child. You two are now one, so how can he absolve himself of responsibility if you make a mistake?"
Qin Luo was surprised that he could still think of Wu Hua at this moment, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"I was also troubled by this issue, but my son told me to follow my heart and not to let others hold me back, so I decided to do this."
Ming Yi never expected that little Wu Hua could utter such philosophical words.
"Aren't you worried that this will implicate him?"
“I was worried, but he let me do what I wanted to do.”
Upon hearing this, Ming Yi was at a loss for words, while Qin Luo continued to speak.
"You should bear the consequences of your mistakes, that's only right, I won't interfere. And please don't hinder me from doing what I want to do. As for Zhao'er..."
She paused for a moment, then looked at Ming Zhao with a serious expression.
"Although you did not come into this world of your own volition, you are here now and there is no way to change it. You must not harbor any resentment. Although I do not know what the divine artifact that Father spoke of is, I will try to find other ways to help you."
