Jialan and Ningqing settled in a little-known town in the south.
Garan lived to be seventy years old. It was a day when a light rain was falling continuously.
Garan lay on the bed, looking at the person sitting beside it.
He slowly reached out and weakly grasped Ning Qing's hand.
Her eyes were overflowing with tenderness.
He called out.
"grown ups".
Ning Qing gripped his hand tightly in return.
"My wife, I'm here."
Jialan stared intently at Ning Qing's face, as if trying to etch it into his soul.
After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth.
"My lord, it is my greatest fortune to be able to stay by your side in this life."
She pursed her lips.
"I am so happy, I have no regrets in this life."
Ning Qing nodded.
"Having you by my side is my greatest fortune."
A smile bloomed on Jialan's face.
He laughed, but tears welled up in his eyes.
"My lord... I... I can't bear to leave you."
Ning Qing tightened her grip on her hand.
"I am also..."
Garan's eyes no longer held the clear clarity of before, but instead carried a glimmer of hope.
"My lord... if there is an afterlife, could... could we continue our story..."
At this point, he shook his head slightly.
She let out a soft sigh.
"It was my greed that led me astray. There is no afterlife for humans."
Ning Qing squeezed his hand again.
"No, there is an afterlife."
Jialan's eyes lit up, and she looked intently at Ning Qing.
"Really? There really is an afterlife?"
Ning Qing nodded.
"some".
Garan asked eagerly.
"Then...in the next life, my lord...could we...continue our predestined relationship?"
Ning Qing nodded and smiled as she comforted him.
"Go in peace, and in the next life stand in the same place, waiting for me to come and find you."
With tears in his eyes, Jialan smiled and nodded.
"Then...then...I'll take a step...and stand...in the same spot, waiting...for the master to come...to find me."
Ning Qing nodded and reached out to touch his cheek, which was no longer smooth and shiny.
"Okay, wait for me, wait for me to spoil you for another lifetime."
Tears welled up in Jialan's eyes.
Ning Qing bent down and kissed away his tears.
"My lady, don't cry."
Garan smiled and agreed.
"Okay...husband."
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes.
Ning Qing slightly bent her index finger and gently scraped his straight nose.
He murmured to himself.
"What a little rascal, only calling me 'husband' at the very last moment."
After saying that, he took out the jade pendant and collected a wisp of golden remnant soul that had drifted out from Jialan's body.
Then I brought a basin of warm water and gently wiped him clean.
Then he changed into his favorite red clothes.
Then, holding him, they lay down together in the double coffin that had already been prepared.
Then the coffin lid was put on layer by layer from the inside.
Two days later, the people who had agreed to meet came and carried away the coffin, burying it deep in the mountains.
When Ning Qing returned to the system space.
Tears welled up in the big cat eyes of the kitten system.
A tiny handkerchief was clutched in her little paws as she idly wiped away her tears.
This surprised Ning Qing.
Ask: What happened?
Cat System: I'm so touched.
Ningqing...
Let's get down to business.
The kitten system instantly switched to a mechanical voice:
