Twenty years have passed, and the new male and female protagonists have grown up and gone abroad to study and broaden their horizons.
Xinghe has now become the dean of the Academy of Sciences, and Lixi, as her assistant, has helped her complete many scientific experiments over the past twenty years.
The only thing that's puzzling is that the two of them have never had children.
People at the Academy of Sciences undergo a physical examination every month, and both of them were in good health.
Moreover, their affection for each other is evident to everyone.
It is indeed unbelievable that someone doesn't have children.
The mothers of the male and female protagonists even tried to help Xinghe by getting her some medications that could help her conceive.
Xinghe immediately recognized the smell and, after determining that the medicine inside was safe, drank it.
Unfortunately, it still didn't work.
It wasn't until she turned forty and was no longer suitable for pregnancy that everyone finally let it go.
The mothers of the male and female protagonists were grateful for everything the two families had done for them, so they arranged for their children to become godparents and instructed the children to treat them as their own parents.
Xinghe couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Meanwhile, deep in the mountains and forests, in the fox den, Fifth Gentle still possessed an unparalleled beauty, her red eyes still alluring.
Nine white tails fluttered and stood upright behind it, just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Twenty years have passed, and his luck has grown weaker and weaker. Whenever he reaches a critical moment in his cultivation, he always fails, as if his bad luck has returned.
The last time he practiced the Fifth Gentle Technique, he almost went into a state of demonic possession and had to damage his heart meridian to save his life.
In order to repair his heart meridian, he has no choice but to eat his two wives.
Fortunately, those two women were foolish enough that when he told them to live in a more remote suburb, they did. They didn't even realize that he had planted demon seeds in their bodies, turning them into demons.
Although he repaired his heart meridian, he could not retain his magic, which was very detrimental to his status in the demon realm.
Fifth Gentle made a decision: he went down the mountain.
This time he didn't pick and choose anymore. Along the way, he killed and ate everyone he encountered, but he didn't eat too much. He only ate the most essential part—the heart.
When Fifth Gentle reached the fifth person, a golden light descended from the sky, and a shockwave surged from Fifth Gentle's position in all directions, unstoppable, yet the trees and flowers remained unharmed.
Fifth Gentle was suppressed under the golden light, struggling to hold on, and all nine of its tails were forced out.
“You wicked beast, submit to the law!” Li Xi said.
"No, I'm not reconciled. Did you eat someone? Why did your magic power increase so quickly?" Blood trickled from the corner of Fifth Gentle's mouth, but there was not a trace of remorse in her eyes.
"Fifth Gentle, don't you understand? The deeper you fall into demonic possession, the stronger my magic becomes. This is all because of you. If you cultivate properly, without committing murder or harboring evil thoughts to steal the destiny of the chosen one, you can overcome your tribulation and ascend to immortality. As for me, I would never be here," Li Xi said calmly.
"What did you say? I don't understand. I only know that I am right, I am right!" Fifth Gentle roared, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth onto her snow-white clothes, blooming like snow plum blossoms.
Li Xi sighed softly, "Alas, even when death is imminent, they still don't know how to repent."
After saying that, he struck down with a palm, and golden magic power pierced through Fifth Gentle's body.
One by one, the beautiful nine tails broke off, Fifth Gentle's face began to age, her hair began to turn gray, and her red pupils gradually lost focus.
As his consciousness was fading, the cutest face he had ever seen appeared in his mind, smiling at her.
He didn't want to know what that meant; he only knew that he didn't regret what he had done and that the direction he was pursuing was correct!
But it seems the method is wrong...
Fifth Gentle smiled slightly, extremely tenderly, lowered her head, and her body turned into a wisp of white smoke, dissipating under the golden light.
Li Xi withdrew her palm and gently landed on the ground.
Fifth Gentle died, and his nine tails followed him. They fought and fought their whole lives, but in the end, they gained nothing.
Li Xi glanced at the spot where Fifth Gentle had vanished and then left, leaving behind only a few corpses and yet another unsolved case.
Back at the Academy of Sciences, Li Xi regained his human form. He took a deep breath of fresh air and strode towards Xinghe Changzai's laboratory.
Xinghe is currently reviewing the results of the experiment, but unfortunately, it did not turn out as she hoped; it failed.
As she sighed, two arms embraced her.
Xinghe knew who it was immediately. "Stop messing around."
"Qiuqiu".
Xinghe froze, stunned.
"Qiuqiu, I missed you so much." Li Xi rubbed his cheek against hers. Although he had always been with her, his memories had never been complete. Now his memories were finally complete, and he could finally be truly with her.
"You...you are...Ru, Rufeng?" Xinghe's voice trembled, her body trembled, her eyes seemed to be burning, and her throat was uncontrollably choked with pain.
"Yes, it's me, Ji Rufeng, your husband who's been with you for hundreds of years." Li Xi's tone was joking, but her eyes were also a little hot. This was the first time he had stood in front of her so 'completely'.
Xinghe turned around and buried her face in his arms, crying. This was the first time she had ever cried like a child.
Li Xi patted her back to comfort her, but she couldn't help but shed tears herself.
After a while, they stopped crying, but Li Xi couldn't bear to let her go.
Li Xi looked down at the flower and leaf ring on her finger. "Thank you, little thing."
"Hmph!" The ring was even more displeased. "I'm doing this for my master, you better understand, it's not for you!"
"What's going on? What are you hiding from me?" Xinghe sniffed, completely bewildered.
"You naughty girl wants to give you a surprise." Although the ring's voice still looked down on Li Xi, its tone was noticeably better.
Li Xi explained carefully, "As long as I kill Fifth Gentle, the Savior will be gone, and I can regain all my memories."
The ring continued, "So my master told me to notify him when I saw Fifth Gentle emerge from the mountain, but I didn't."
Xinghe remembered that Li Xi had been standing next to her for a while and then walked outside. She thought he was going to get some food and didn't pay much attention. So that's what happened.
"You two..."
Xinghe wanted to say something, but when she tried to speak, she didn't know what to say.
Li Xi smiled and said, "Let's go. We should have a family reunion dinner today. Since the experiment didn't go well, I'll help you next time."
Xinghe nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "I want to make something to pull you into the ring space. Would you be willing?"
Li Xi paused for a moment, then said, "The ring's space is no ordinary object; with your current level of expertise, you won't be able to study it. As long as you can light up all the diamonds on it, the ring will naturally have the ability to take me into its space."
"I have this ability?" The ring seemed a little incredulous.
“You’ll understand when all your diamonds are shining,” Li Xi said.
"Alright, I'll trust you for now."
