Only then did Shang Xiye realize that instead of stepping on the broken pieces, he had simply walked right through them!
He raised his hands in a daze, only to find that he was invisible.
Shang Xi suddenly realized:
No wonder the man ignored his questions; he simply couldn't sense his presence.
Shang Xiye watched as the man picked up the charred fragments from the ground, wrapped them in fine brocade, and then staggered out of the strange room like a lost puppet.
Outside the room, the world was shrouded in ethereal mist.
The sky and earth here are clearer, the mountains are more majestic, and the trees are more robust and verdant.
Even though Shang Xiye was just an invisible presence, he could still feel the atmosphere of this world making him feel more comfortable, like the comfort of soaking in a cool stream.
The man clutched the package tightly in his arms, walked through vast forests and terraced fields where crops grew lushly, and arrived at the foot of a sheer cliff that looked as if it had been carved by a knife.
He picked a large patch of shimmering grass and carefully placed the package in his arms on it;
Then, he began to dig into the hard rocks at the base of the cliff with his hands.
Although Shang Xiye could see that his fingertips were imbued with spiritual energy, human hands are still flesh and blood.
Before long, all ten of the man's fingernails broke off, and blood gushed out.
But he seemed not to feel the pain and continued digging until he could see the bare bones.
Fearing that his blood would stain the bundle, the man first washed and cleaned his hands and the pit after digging the hole, and then used magic to dry the pit before carefully placing the bundle inside.
He knelt there for a long time, his gaze lingering on the package with a loving and reluctant look, remaining silent for a long time.
So long that it became as if we no longer felt the sun rising and setting again and again.
Until,
The sky suddenly darkened, and rumbling thunder echoed through the dark clouds.
The man stared blankly at the sky before murmuring, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have made that vow back then; but if I hadn't made that vow, perhaps you wouldn't be by my side, or perhaps... Little Darling, I secretly hope you remember your master, so I haven't erased your memory. If you ever have doubts in the future, don't hate your master, okay? Don't hate me..."
Shang Xiye saw the man take out a bracelet from his pocket, exactly the same as the one his young wife had given him!
The man placed the bracelet together with the package in the pit, and then began to bury it.
He set up a nine-layered array at the place where he buried the package and bracelet;
The area was restored to its original state, with no trace of excavation visible.
At this moment, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and the world was plunged into darkness, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The man rode his sword straight into the sky, like a shooting star about to crash!
Shang Xiye was suddenly pulled into the fierce winds of the heavens and could no longer keep up with the man's speed. His consciousness was in a state of confusion for an unknown period of time. When he opened his eyes again, he saw his little wife's soft and peaceful sleeping face.
Looking at his wife's delicate and fair face, Shang Xiye's inexplicable grief and despair caused by that man instantly dissipated, and his eyes even became moist.
Gently kiss the young wife's forehead.
Shang Xiye held the beautiful woman in his arms even tighter, seemingly lost in thought about what had just happened.
With his freakish intelligence, he knew immediately upon seeing that the man looked exactly like him:
He might be his past life.
It turns out that in his past life, he was the young wife's master.
No wonder his wife, despite being attracted to his looks, kept turning him down.
