I traveled across the Three Realms and went through untold hardships to finally find the legendary mandarin-duck stone, said to be perfect for making rings.
But the day after I returned to the Demon Realm, the pair of mandarin-duck stones appeared on the shoes of Mu An's beloved, Qing Yue.
Mu An didn't think much of it. "There was just the right spot on Qing Yue's shoes for a gem to decorate them."
At that moment, the System delivered a death sentence for my failed mission: "You will rapidly age and die within a year. Do whatever you want while you still can."
I thought it over and decided to return to the human world, to pay one last visit to my beloved's grave.
