Mortal Mirror

Parting ways after a thousand miles of companionship is inevitable. Li Ergou genuinely enjoyed himself for a few days, but ultimately, this wasn't his home.

The time limit initially set by the Mountain Sea Giant had arrived, so even though he felt attached to this place, he had to leave.

Jinlin clung to his chest, extremely reluctant, muttering incessantly, "Li Ergou, you must carefully keep my scale. When I grow up, I'll go to Great Xia to find you."

Li Ergou was also filled with reluctance. He then handed Jinlin a bag, secretly whispering in her ear, "I've left all the sea crystals I found for you. It's said that wealth shouldn't be flaunted, so be careful. I hope that when we meet again, you'll still be you, and I'll still be me."

As he spoke, he gently stroked Jinlin's hair, his heart filled with indescribable emotions.

Upon hearing this, Jinlin burst into tears, saying, "Li Ergou, you wait for me! When I grow up, I'm going to marry you no matter what!"

The atmosphere was originally quite sad, but upon hearing the little girl's words, Li Ergou couldn't help but laugh, saying, "By the time you grow up, I'll be thousands of years old, and my bones might have already decayed.

You should focus on cultivating properly and strive to achieve immortality as soon as possible."

Jinlin stubbornly replied, "No! I won't allow you to die before I grow up. Li Ergou, you must live well, and I must marry you when I grow up. You have to promise me!"

Amidst her reluctance, Jinlin handed Li Ergou a Universe Bag, telling him that it contained the corpses of several demon beasts, including seventh-realm and eighth-realm corpses, for him to stew and nourish his body after returning.

Li Ergou didn't refuse. However, upon opening it, he didn't expect the contents to be so explosive.

Filled with reluctance, Li Ergou and Alice, oh no, from now on, she would be Ye Min, together climbed onto the back of a giant golden eagle. This was a mount that Jinlin had specially found for him, as it would take who knows how long to walk back to the Mountain Sea Giant on two legs.

Sitting on the golden eagle, it wouldn't take long to return. Li Ergou naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse.

Waving his hand, Li Ergou said, "The green hills remain, and the green waters flow forever. Jinlin, we will definitely meet again."

Looking at Li Ergou's face, Jinlin's playful big eyes ultimately couldn't hold back, and tears streamed down her face as she said, "Li Ergou, I know, you must live well and wait for me to marry you!"

As she spoke, she suddenly turned around and threw herself into the arms of Number Two Under Heaven, crying loudly and mournfully, "Waaah, Uncle Pig, why does life have to have partings? It's so sad! I really don't know if he'll die by the time I grow up!

Waaah, it's really so sad!"

Number Two Under Heaven curled his lip and said, "Hey, little girl, what's with all this lovey-dovey stuff? It's all like floating clouds in the sky. We demon clans have long lifespans and will encounter countless interesting people or demons in our lives.

Don't just marry someone just because they're nice to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have enough to marry! Thousands of years! What a joke! By then, he might have already married countless wives."

"Wuuu, you big meanie! Can't you just lie to me a little? But I believe Li Ergou wouldn't lie to me, wuuu, it's so sad..."

At that moment, she touched the Universe Bag in her arms and entered it with her divine sense. The dozen or so sea crystal rough stones remained there. Li Ergou had really given her all his wealth. She had become a little rich girl! Look, things that others considered treasures, Li Ergou had given to her without hesitation.

This affection was genuine! Uncle Pig was simply a big idiot, only knowing how to cultivate. How would he know what a little girl was thinking? Sigh, it was truly like playing the lute to a cow.

At the thought of thousands of years, she couldn't help but cry again, with snot bubbles coming out, and she couldn't help but rub them on Number Two Under Heaven's shoulder.

Number Two Under Heaven looked up at the sky, and an incredibly beautiful figure appeared in his eyes, but ultimately she turned into a ball of light, a yellow light, like the moon, countless years ago...

Sigh, those were all things of the past. Perhaps if he had another chance, if he could be young again, perhaps he would also risk everything for her, even if the heavens and earth were destroyed.

Ultimately, did he still miss her...?

On the golden eagle, Ye Min couldn't help but laugh, saying, "You're really amazing, you've captivated the little girl so much that she's even willing to wait for you for thousands of years."

Li Ergou bitterly smiled and said, "You believe the words of a little girl? I just treat her like a little sister, a young girl. What does she know about love? She will eventually meet many people in her life, and I'm just one of the passersby.

Thousands of years later, perhaps, by then, she would have long forgotten about me in her memory."

Ye Min was slightly stunned, not expecting Li Ergou's thoughts to be so open-minded. She couldn't help but admire him, saying, "You really are you!"

Li Ergou stood up, gazing into the distance. In the whistling wind, his sleeves fluttered, and the breeze lifted his long hair, revealing his incredibly deep eyes, watching the white clouds roll and the sea of clouds vast.

Suddenly, his heart became clear and bright, with a feeling of boundless freedom. He suddenly laughed, thinking to himself that all of this was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine when he was young.

Life was truly so wonderful. Li Ergou was no longer the Li Ergou he used to be.

From now on, he only wanted to become stronger and stronger, to protect himself and to protect those he wanted to protect.

At that moment, he was even more high-spirited, shouting loudly, "Zhu Zhu, wait for me! I, Li Ergou, will eventually make a name for myself! When that time comes, I will marry you with the most luxurious and grand wedding in the world!"

Ye Min looked at the somewhat high-spirited Li Ergou and couldn't help but shake her head, thinking to herself, sigh, he's gone crazy for no reason...

Above the Mountain Sea Giant Pass, countless cultivators were returning one after another. Some were high-spirited, some were disheveled, and some were laughing loudly, obviously having obtained no small advantage.

Some were heartbroken, and no one knew the reason.

Everything was seen by the various Divine Officials.

Zhu Zhu had been looking in front of the city wall for many days, but unfortunately, she still hadn't seen Li Ergou's figure. She couldn't help but worry. Fortunately, Si Ning and others returned one after another, which was somewhat comforting.

Bai Muran returned, Murong Tianxia returned, and Bai Su returned late.

Finally, Li Muzhen and Chen Qingping also returned, but the two of them looked strange. After returning, they hurried to find the Divine Official, and then the two of them never met, and no one knew what had happened.

On this day, a person could be seen riding a white tiger, returning majestically.
