"Don't worry, if we can't survive in the Six Thousand Realms, we'll come down," Qiao Qiu said.
“Alright, come down with us then, don’t wait any longer,” Roland said.
Qiao Qiu smiled and shook her head. "No, we all have to fight for ourselves, and I'm no exception. So, I must stay in the Six Thousand Realms."
"But elder sister, have you forgotten what you are about to face?" Roland's eyes were wet with tears, and her voice was somewhat hoarse.
Qiao Qiu wiped away her tears and said softly, "Silly girl, you're a mother now, why do you still cry so much? If you keep crying like this, Yuan'er will laugh at you, his mother."
Roland rushed into her arms, crying, "Big sister, I don't care, you have to come with us this time. No matter what your reasons are, if something happens to you again, how will I live?"
Qiao Qiu sighed, "Don't be silly, you still have a child."
Roland retorted, "Don't you have children too?"
Seeing her crying like this, Dong Yu felt bad for her too, and tried to comfort her, saying, "Big sister, big brother-in-law, why don't you come down with us? The Six Thousand Great Realms are so dangerous, how can we go down to the Three Thousand Realms without worrying about us?"
Ji Rufeng looked at Qiao Qiu and said, "Whatever she wants to do, I will support her."
Dong Yu also sighed. As a man driven mad by love, when he saw Ji Rufeng, his gaze almost always followed his elder sister. Just like when he looked at his wife, he could never get enough of looking at her. He didn't want to disagree with any of her decisions; he just wanted to say yes.
Dong Yu understood Ji Rufeng's heart, so she didn't try to persuade him anymore. Instead, she looked at Qiao Qiu and said, "Big sister, you also have a child. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Xiao Jie. After spending so much time with that child, I feel more and more that he is smart and clever. If he can grow up healthy and happy, he will definitely be an outstanding person in the future."
He is now an outstanding individual.
Qiao Qiu answered in her heart, but said something else on the surface: "Brother-in-law, I know what you mean, but he also has his own path to walk. This is his destiny, and it is also my destiny. I can't escape it, and neither can he."
"What does elder sister mean by that? Dong Yu doesn't understand." Dong Yu was a little confused. What does "your destiny" and "his destiny" mean?
Qiao Qiu smiled and said, "There's no need to understand the secrets of heaven too much. If you do, it will only cause more trouble."
Roland pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did you figure something out, elder sister?"
"Seventh Sister, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed." Qiao Qiu smiled, but thought to herself: Damn, it's so hard to find a reason. Luckily, there's this kind of universal explanation. Thank goodness for the ancients!
Since she had already said that, Roland didn't ask any more questions. She knew that some secrets of heaven could not be revealed, or they would be punished by heaven.
Dong Yu didn't understand. "Big sister, can't we really not talk about this openly?"
Qiao Qiu shook her head. "No."
Dong Yu walked to the table, feeling anxious and with nowhere to vent, and slammed his fist on the table, letting out a long, heavy sigh.
Ji Rufeng said, "Don't worry, if there is any danger, I will take the mother and child down immediately."
Dong Yu nodded, "It doesn't matter what happens to us, you all must stay safe."
The four of them finally reached an agreement: Dong Yu and Luo Lan would leave first, while Qiao Qiu and the others would stay and check things out, returning to the Three Thousand Realms if any danger arose.
With their assurances, Roland was barely able to trust them.
After their conversation, Ji Rufeng began teaching Dong Yu martial arts. Not only that, he also used his immortal power to alter Dong Yu's physique, allowing him to learn advanced martial arts even at his advanced age.
Dong Yu studied very hard for the safety of his wife and children.
Moreover, he made progress every day, which made Dong Yu happy.
Every day, Ring would sit beside Dong Yuan, propping his chin up as he watched them practice martial arts.
Although Dong Yuan was young and could only utter one or two words, he was very well-behaved. He was very excited when he saw his father practicing martial arts, and his black pearl-like eyes sparkled.
The ring whispered, "Little cousin, little cousin, the master wants to protect you, so he asked Ji Rufeng to teach your father martial arts. Should I give you a chance too?"
...
A month later, the vitality of the Six Thousand Realms had dropped to its lowest point, and it was time for Qiao Qiu to send them away.
In the open space outside the house, Qiao Qiu and Luo Lan said goodbye.
Roland was very reluctant to part with Qiao Qiu and kept talking about it.
Dong Yu also pulled her aside to give her instructions regarding the ring.
Ji Rufeng and Dong Yuan stared at each other, their eyes locked.
Ji Rufeng stroked his chin, looked at Dong Yuan, and felt that there seemed to be something different about this kid, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
The only thing that spends all day with this child is the ring, and the only one who could have tampered with it without the child noticing is probably him.
After finally saying goodbye, Ji Rufeng activated an ancient magic array.
As far as he knew, there were no magical artifacts in the Six Thousand Realms that could help people travel between two worlds, so he had no choice but to use this method.
The Roland family stood on the magic circle, waving their hands and staring at Qiao Qiu and the others without blinking.
Qiao Qiu smiled slightly and waved.
"Walk!"
As Ji Rufeng shouted, golden light rose from the ground, and the figures of Luo Lan, Dong Yu, and Dong Yuan instantly disappeared into the magic array.
Before Qiao Qiu's smile faded, she turned to look at the sky, where there were faint, small shadows.
"Master, are you afraid?" the ring asked as it walked to her side.
Qiao Qiu smiled and said, "I've never been afraid."
“I’m not afraid either,” Ji Rufeng said, walking to her other side.
Qiao Qiu glanced at Ji Rufeng, then turned to the ring, "I'm already very satisfied with these few worlds."
"Qiuqiu, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have known that life could be so flavorful," Ji Rufeng said with a smile.
Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow slightly, "You dare to tell me, how did you choose me in the first place?"
Ji Rufeng had nothing to hide now. "Back then, I didn't know who you were. I only knew that after each world, something seemed to pass by me. I didn't know what it meant, but I knew it was my only chance. As long as you could get the ring, everything would no longer follow the predetermined path of the curse. Only by breaking it could I have a sliver of hope for survival."
"You weren't incapable at the beginning, were you? Why were you broken down like this?" Qiao Qiu was still puzzled by this. If their power had been combined from the beginning, breaking the curse would have been a piece of cake.
"Actually, it's not like that at all. It's not that simple," the ring said. "When I was sent here, the female lead snatched me away. Then I was used as nourishment. My spirit was trapped inside the ring and couldn't get out. I was absorbed by the female lead in every lifetime until I finally became an ordinary ring."
