Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

"Do you mean Baili Yao Yue?" Si Jiuyou turned her head and said quietly, "I hate that woman. Please don’t mention her in front of me."

Uh...

Fan Wubing was stunned. Could there be some conflict between Senior Sister and Yao Yue?

He quickly said,

"No, no, no, I mean you! You’ve become my Senior Sister, that’s a very happy thing."

Si Jiuyou was taken aback and asked nervously,

"Really?"

"Really."

Si Jiuyou lowered her head and hid her smile secretly.

"By the way, what’s the conflict between you and Yao Yue?"

As soon as Baili Yao Yue was mentioned, Si Jiuyou turned somewhat listless and spiritless,

"After seeing your destined ending, I found you were bound to become eternal. I couldn’t accept it, so I wanted to correct your fate. But I didn’t know how to do it, so I made up my mind to return to the Eternal Immortal Continent to find you, so I could keep you by my side always."

Fan Wubing blushed, "So you had this idea all along."

Si Jiuyou continued,

"Then I started to reverse the Path of Eternity. During the journey, I encountered that woman."

That woman... not even willing to say her name, how much does she hate her?

Si Jiuyou frowned,

"I found out that she came from the Eternal Immortal Continent, so I asked her about your situation. Then, she found out I was your Senior Sister. She said she was your friend... I didn’t think much about it at the time, or else I would have searched her soul first."

Fan Wubing was sweating profusely, "What happened next?"

"At first, I thought maybe I could get along well with her, after all, she was your friend. But unexpectedly, before saying much, she suddenly lost control of her emotions, pointed at my nose, and cursed, saying things like I had let you down, was ungrateful, and so on. I was furious, wanted to teach her a lesson, but thinking she was your friend, I held back."

Si Jiuyou’s voice was almost overflowing with anger,

"But I think with your character, you shouldn’t have such a vile friend. So I questioned her relationship with you. Unexpectedly, she actually said, she was your unwed wife, and I was just an ordinary Senior Sister long forgotten, telling me not to return to find you. I was so silly at the time, I actually believed her!"

Si Jiuyou questioned Fan Wubing,

"How could you get involved with such a woman! As your Senior Sister, I really have to doubt your judgment of people! Such a woman, you’re absolutely not allowed to bring into our home!"

Fan Wubing tilted his head.

Baili Yao Yue is such a personality.

However, he knew all mistakes lay with him, not explaining clearly, causing Baili Yao Yue to always think the reason they couldn’t be together was because of that unseen Senior Sister. At that time, Baili Yao Yue refused to ascend to wait for her, struggling through to Eighth-Tier Tribulation Immortal, finally not able to endure the ninth tier, she had to ascend.

On the day of ascension, Baili Yao Yue found him proactively, slapped him, then left.

Fan Wubing touched his face, feeling a bit of self-blame.

Thinking back now, wasn’t this purely delaying her?

Si Jiuyou said with a cold face,

"However, I still decided to change your destiny. But reversing the Path of Eternity was really too difficult, it took me a whole thousand years to find the way back to the Eternal Immortal Continent. But I didn’t foresee, by then you had already ascended. When I returned to the Path of Eternity and re-entered the Everlasting Mountain, everything was too late. Everyone told me, you were rebellious and suppressed by Everlasting Mountain. I didn’t believe it, because the cage of destiny holding you was still not gone, you would still become eternally destined.

"Thus, I embarked on another reverse journey along the Path of Eternity, beginning an even longer journey. This time, I was determined to arrive before everything started anew. The aura of Peach Blossoms led me here. Then, I transformed into the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, waiting for your arrival."

Fan Wubing fell into silence.

He still didn’t know, what exactly did he do on the Path of Eternity, at Everlasting Mountain.

Why did he go to Earth...

Si Jiuyou added again,

"If that woman didn’t disturb my heart, I would surely have returned to the Eternal Immortal Continent before you ascended! I surely could have avoided everything afterward! So, it’s all her fault!"

So that’s how this grievance formed.

Fan Wubing caught his breath, smiled,

"But Senior Sister. You also said I’m destined to become eternal. How could you keep me by your side?"

"Tie you up." Si Jiuyou summoned a light, floating golden long veil, tying one end to her wrist and the other to Fan Wubing’s wrist, "Like this."

Fan Wubing said, "Senior Sister you’re really good at doing such remarkable things with an indifferent face." He smiled, "But I think if you don’t face destiny, you can’t change destiny. This fate started with you and me, and naturally has to end because of you and me. Senior Sister, don’t even think about bearing it alone, I’m the same."

Si Jiuyou was a bit troubled.

Unknowingly, she was educated by Junior Brother once more.

She felt, as a Senior Sister, she was less and less authoritative. Clearly, everyone else revered her, only he showed no respect at all.

She couldn’t find words to say, so she reiterated once more,

"It’s all that woman’s fault!"

Then she stared intently at Fan Wubing, saying sternly,

"You’re not allowed to meet her again! Such a woman will harm you! Do you hear me?"

Fan Wubing said with difficulty,

"Senior Sister, that’s inappropriate."

Strictly speaking, Baili Yao Yue was his first love.

Si Jiuyou darkly said,

"What’s good about such a woman? Anyway, I disagree with you bringing her home. She’s entirely inferior to Jiang Ran, right."

Fan Wubing jolted suddenly, his entire body involuntarily trembled, his pupils almost shrinking to a point, breathing became extremely rapid. His wildly beating heart made the veins on the back of his hand rise prominently,

"Who did you say? Who is Jiang Ran?"
