"A Jing..."
The Mysterious Maiden in his dreams was calling to him again. The searing pain of Qingqiu's forbidden art rebounding spread from his chest, and Yuwen Jing snapped his eyes open. Three bronze seals on his wrist glimmered coldly in the moonlight.
His fingertip crumpled the calendar page for December 24, 2024. Only 145 days remained until the restriction placed by the Fox King was lifted: the day he could return to the Great Wilderness.
Thirteen years in the immortal realm had passed as nearly five thousand sunrises and sunsets in the human world. He had thought those days and nights spent disguised as a mortal were merely a desolate trek along the road to overcoming his tribulation. Then he met Xia Yu, holding a strawberry ice cream.
In the hospital corridor, thick with the smell of disinfectant, Su Qing had just handed Xia Yu an ice cream. Cream clung to the tip of her nose. Looking at the tearful man before her, she asked, "Yuwen Jing, what are you freaking out about now?" Before she could finish, the ice cream fell from her hand. The emotions surging in his bloodshot eyes burned hotter than a bonfire on a snowy plain.
"Didn't we agree?" Xia Yu took half a step back. Strawberry sauce spread across the pristine white tiles. "You have your Mysterious Maiden. We're strangers now. What... are you doing?"
Her trembling question was cut short by his warm embrace. His breathing was ragged, his voice quivering with years of suppressed emotion.
"I searched the nine heavens and scoured the books of reincarnation, only to realize..." His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the rest of his words: You were right here beside me...
The seals on his wrist suddenly burst into dazzling light, casting their shadows onto the mottled white wall, entwined in an unbreakable knot...
