Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

"Do you know who left it for you?"

Seeing Fan Wubing caught in a state of shock, Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Fan Wubing had no idea who left it for him. But he vaguely understood that the vanished "he" must have exerted all his efforts to leave behind this "reward" and precious clue.

However,

Why did the vanished "he" not even wish to leave his own name, or record anything about himself?

Was it sheer helplessness, or a deliberate choice?

Fan Wubing didn’t know the answers.

All he knew was that he was getting closer to seeing the full scope of destiny’s cage.

Lust of the tongue can transform all things into a part of flesh and blood;

Lust of the heart can connect the soul with all things;

Lust of the eyes can see the end of the great path, the essence of all things;

Lust of the ears can listen to the "sound" of information being transmitted between things.

Even though he hadn’t yet found the remaining lusts of the nose and body, Fan Wubing could feel they were similarly connected to all things.

And what drives all things, what causes their birth?

Destiny.

"Is this the weapon I will face destiny with?" Fan Wubing thought.

"Are you alright?" Liu Qingqing saw him continuously silent and felt somewhat concerned.

Fan Wubing snapped back to reality and smiled, "I’m fine." He asked, "What are you planning to do afterwards?"

Liu Qingqing looked around,

"Actually, I’m quite reluctant to leave here. But indeed there is no reason to stay any longer. An An is under the care of Jade Ancestor, no need for me to worry. Unbeknownst to me, I’ve been left alone, suddenly... I just don’t know what to do anymore. Perhaps... just roam around to see what’s out there."

Liu Qingqing smiled, though her smile was tinged with unavoidable loneliness.

"Good luck."

"Hmm." Liu Qingqing gazed at the sky, giving a bitter smile, "I always feel an emptiness in my heart." She couldn’t understand this feeling, nor know what had happened. But the bitterness lingered in her heart, like a shadow that wouldn’t disperse.

She looked at Fan Wubing, and almost pleadingly asked in a frail voice,

"Did we lose something? You’re so strong, you must know something, right?"

Her nose felt sore, and her voice trembled a little.

Fan Wubing was at a loss for words. Not knowing how to respond to Liu Qingqing, he took a deep breath and said confidently,

"No matter what I’ve lost, I will definitely get it back!"

Liu Qingqing lowered her head, choking up, her voice barely audible,

"Thank you... thank you..."

...

Not long after, Liu Qingqing bid farewell to Fan Wubing. She was going to travel far away, though she hadn’t mentioned where. Perhaps she didn’t even know herself.

Fan Wubing met Ye Wuyue at the Demon Extermination Bureau.

She was very busy now, constantly dealing with various large forces to prevent the chaos caused by the collapse of the Terminal Daoist system from affecting the secular mortals.

When she saw Fan Wubing, Ye Wuyue couldn’t contain her excitement and grasped him in various expressions of concern.

After learning that Fan Wubing’s path of fighting against the heavens went smoothly without a scratch, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she started lamenting, constantly saying she definitely wasn’t good at handling the various conflicts of the Cultivation Realm and wanted to resign from the position of General Director to return to Great Li, to become the youngest child rolling on the ground.

But when looking at her performance, everything was managed exceptionally well.

Fan Wubing laughed,

"Trust me, you’re meant for this job."

Ye Wuyue face was scrunched in despair, "Can’t you come and help me? With you here, I’d definitely have a much easier time."

Fan Wubing said solemnly,

"With my identity, how can I do such things?"

Ye Wuyue pouted, "Right, now you’re the noble Master of All Beings, untouched by the mortal world, how could you associate with us who roll around in the mud?"

Fan Wubing flicked her forehead,

"So you’ve learned how to mock people now, huh!"

Ye Wuyue covered her forehead, "You did it too hard, now my brains are turning slow!"

Fan Wubing leisurely stretched and teased with a smile,

"I remember, you once said you would go to Immortal Continent to find your True Destiny Celestial Maiden. It’s been decades, did you find her?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Ye Wuyue felt a blockage in her heart, folded her arms, and became sullen.

"What’s the matter?" Fan Wubing asked.

Ye Wuyue said,

"I don’t know why... Clearly, I haven’t expressed affection to anyone, yet I feel like I’ve been jilted."

"Are you alright?"

Ye Wuyue looked up and exhaled,

"It’s not a big deal. It’s just sometimes, suddenly having free time, inexplicably feeling a little sad. This is what it’s like for a maiden in love, you know."

Fan Wubing laughed, "You’re still calling yourself a maiden? You’re over sixty or seventy years old."

"Hmph! In the Cultivation Realm, I’m still a young maiden! Equivalent to a fourteen-year-old mortal!" Ye Wuyue said this and suddenly started looking around.

"What’s wrong, acting like a thief."

"Actually... there is someone I care about."

"Oh!" Fan Wubing immediately got serious, "Who?"

"Ah, keep your voice down!" Ye Wuyue seemed nothing like an imposing General Director. She touched her neck and said, "I just care about her, can’t say I like her yet. And... I feel like she..."

As she spoke, Ye Wuyue suddenly made a distressed face and punched Fan Wubing hard,

"You, you’re terrible!"

Fan Wubing was bewildered,

"What’s going on, why suddenly hit me!"

Ye Wuyue lowered her head, her nasal tone became heavier, "Anyway, it’s just that feeling."

Fan Wubing squinted his eyes,
