Chu Xujin quickly knocked the dagger out of Tang Jinghong’s hand. “You cannot die. If you die, Fifth Sister will never rest in peace.”

Tang Jinghong’s neck had a thin cut, blood seeping from the wound and staining his white mourning clothes, making a stark contrast even in the dark night.

“I won’t seek death anymore. You can go back now. Let me spend some time alone with Qingzhi,” Tang Jinghong said weakly, waving them off.

Chu Xuhua and Chu Xujin exchanged glances and slowly backed away.

The night was eerily silent.

By dawn, Chu Xuhua, who had accidentally fallen asleep, woke up and shook Chu Xujin. “Jinghong is missing.”

They quickly searched everywhere but couldn’t find any trace of Tang Jinghong in Shuiyun County.

The story of Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong, who defended their country and were separated by life and death, was recorded in books and eventually became a legend passed down through generations.

…

A month later, at Tianan Temple.

A gaunt Tang Jinghong knelt before the Buddha statue, his eyes filled with sorrow. “Master, please ordain me as a monk.”

“Amitabha,” the head monk greeted, bowing slightly. “Have you considered this carefully, General?”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Yes, Master. I have made up my mind.”

“Amitabha,” the head monk signaled to the attending monks. “Prepare incense, a bath, and fresh clothes for the ordination.”

“Yes, Head Monk,” the monks replied.

At the same time, in the celestial realm, the Peony Fairy visited the Sea Peach Fairy’s palace. “Congratulations on your return to your celestial position, Sea Peach Fairy.”

Chu Qingzhi, having completed her trials, had become a true deity, the Sea Peach Fairy, one of the twelve flower fairies. She leaned against the palace window, gazing at the sea peaches outside, lost in thought.

Though she was now a celestial being, she couldn’t shake a feeling of melancholy.

Peony Fairy observed Chu Qingzhi and seemed to understand. “Are you thinking about someone in the mortal world?”

Chu Qingzhi appeared enlightened. “Thank you, Peony Fairy. I understand now.”

Peony Fairy hesitated, “You wish to descend to the mortal world…”

“I promised him that I would either spend a hundred years with him or bring him to the celestial realm.” Saying this, Chu Qingzhi flew toward the Hall of Heavenly Kings.

She knelt before the Jade Emperor in the hall, requesting, “Your Majesty, I wish to descend to fulfill my promise.”

The Jade Emperor was silent for a moment. “You died to save the people and are deeply loved by them. Your incense offerings are the most abundant among all the deities. You are going to fulfill a promise, and it would be heartless of me to refuse. You may go. I grant you one hundred days to settle your mortal affairs.”

Chu Qingzhi bowed deeply. “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

…

At Tianan Temple.

Chu Zixi, dressed in a wedding gown, her skin smooth as jade and her appearance stunning, walked step by step into the temple with the wedding attire in her hands.

Her beauty was so breathtaking that the monks she passed forgot to react, staring at her in awe.

Chu Zixi carried the wedding attire straight into the ordination hall where Tang Jinghong was about to be ordained.

Tang Jinghong had finished his bath and was kneeling before the Buddha statue. The head monk approached him with a razor, ready to shave his head.

Chu Zixi, holding the wedding attire, stood in the doorway and softly called out, “Jinghong…”

Tang Jinghong’s body trembled. He slowly turned around and saw the girl standing behind him, his vision blurring with tears. “Zixi.”

He took three steps forward, embracing her tightly, feeling her warmth like it was a dream. “Am I dreaming?”

Chu Zixi smiled gently. “No dream. I went back to the celestial realm and saw you were about to become a monk, so I hurried down to find you. If I had been a moment later, I would have lost my groom.”

Tang Jinghong couldn’t help but laugh. “Then let’s get married!”

Chu Zixi smiled, “I brought the wedding attire for you. Let’s get married in front of the Buddha.”

Tang Jinghong’s voice was hoarse with emotion, “Alright.”

Chu Zixi handed him the wedding attire. Tang Jinghong went inside to change, and under the witness of all the monks in Tianan Temple and the Buddha, they bowed to each other and were wed.

Tang Jinghong extended his hand to Chu Zixi, his gaze soft and tender.

Chu Zixi placed her hand in his, and hand in hand, they left Tianan Temple to roam the world together.

…

Three years later.

In a small border town in southern Daling, a family of three arrived. The woman was beautiful, the man handsome, and the child adorable. The child rode a large white tiger, which had a fat white parrot on its head. Other parrots flew nearby, while a pack of wolves stayed back in Chu Family Village guarding the house, causing quite a stir upon their arrival.

Tang Xiaobao tugged on Chu Zixi’s hand. “Mom, mom, there’s a shop for sale over there. Let’s buy it!”

Chu Zixi glanced at the small, rundown shop in a remote area. “We could open a bun shop. Let’s go.”

Tang Jinghong massaged his forehead. “Will we have customers in such a place?”

Chu Zixi winked at him. “We’ll see.”

Half a month later, the shop opened, with long lines forming at the door, and Tang Jinghong found himself handling more money than he ever expected.

Tang Xiaobao climbed onto his father’s lap. “Dad, did you see Mom’s charm?”

Tang Jinghong hugged him. “I did. Your mom is like a wealth god. Wherever she goes, people line up to give her money.”

Tang Xiaobao grinned, “With Mom, we’ll always have plenty of money.”

The small shop was bustling until noon. Tang Jinghong quickly asked Chu Zixi to rest while he cleaned up and prepared lunch.

Chu Zixi hugged Tang Jinghong from behind as he cooked. “Didn’t you want a daughter? Now your wish can come true.”

Tang Jinghong paused, joy surging through him. He turned and held her tightly. “All the happiness in my life comes from you. Thank you, Zixi.”

They had a son and a daughter, traveling across the country and visiting many nations. On the fiftieth year of Chu Zixi’s stay in the mortal world, Tang Jinghong passed away, and she returned to the celestial realm.

In the extreme sea desert, thousands of years ago, there was a begonia tree with a celestial stone beside it. The stone protected the tree from wind and rain for eons, and both eventually achieved human form on the same day.

However, they failed to survive the heavenly tribulation, and their celestial forms were reincarnated.

The begonia reincarnated as Chu Zixi, living in the modern cultivation world and achieving immortality after centuries of cultivation.

The celestial stone reincarnated as Tang Jinghong, enduring ten lifetimes of hardship, with his final life as Tang Jinghong. After his death, his celestial form returned to the celestial realm.

Begonia and the celestial stone met again in the celestial realm.

“Begonia!”

“Stone!”
