1918 Returning To Heaven (1/2)
The two children were slightly older than Shen Nianmo; one was eight years old, and the other was nine. Certainly, both were the most intelligent and talented from their group. Initially, they were not willing to play with Shen Nianmo as they thought he was too young and would be very childish. Most importantly, they were jealous of Shen Nianmo's attractiveness, which far exceeded theirs. The little girl was beautiful, and everyone always complimented her. They said she was as beautiful as a fairy. However, she looked very ordinary when she was standing beside Shen Nianmo.
To their surprise, Shen Nianmo had grown up so much right after the birthday party! Although he was not as tall as them, there was not much difference anymore. That made them curious, so they began to be closer to him. They would play the role of his senior to get his respect.
Unfortunately, Shen Nianmo soon realized that they could not really click as there were not many similarities shared among them! In fact, Shen Nianmo found that he was far more knowledgeable than them.
Not wanting to seem inferior, the little boy proposed a fight to prove their capabilities. Shen Nianmo agreed; however, he had a condition: whoever won the fight would be the boss, regardless of their age. All parties agreed and prepared to fight.
Shen Nianmo was very brutal to the little boy. His face was bruised in numerous places. The little girl suffered similar injuries as well. Although the little boy and girl managed to find their way to attack Shen Nianmo together, he still managed to defeat them. As a result, the little boy and girl recognized Shen Nianmo as their senior after half a day of battle.
When Spiritual Master Yuhang brought the three of them back to the clan, he was pissed off as he noticed that his two disciples could not stop referring to Shen Nianmo as their senior.

Gu Xijiu felt extremely relieved as the mission that she had been working on for almost 200 years has finally been completed. She checked with the strange sound in her head if there was anything else that she had to do; however, it remained silent for a while. Only when Gu Xijiu thought it would not respond, it said, ”Just go with the flow.”
Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh of relief and immediately inquired the question she put in her heart for 200 years. ”Is Huang Tu the former Lord? How is he doing now?” The sound remained silent for a moment before it continued, ”Huang Tu has immortalized, he will never be in this world again.”
Gu Xijiu was at a loss for words and felt a chronic pain in her chest! She could not believe that the man who frequently appeared in her dream had disappeared entirely from this world.
Initially, she still hoped that person would come to heaven. It was fine even if he did not become a Mighty Immortal or he chose to become a hermit who had lost all his memories just like others. She hoped that was the reason she could not find him.
Back in the past, the strange sound in her mind promised that it would tell her the truth after she completed her mission; hence, she thought there was hope. Unfortunately, she was disappointed again after 200 years of effort!
Gu Xijiu had been sitting on a tree for quite a while to the extent the Firmament Stone thought she was turning into a fossil. Right at that moment, she finally moved and said, ”Little Cang, let's go home.”
The Firmament Stone was also depressed as it was hoping Huang Tu would still be alive. If that were the case, its master might still have the chance to reunite with him. However, their hope had utterly vanished now.
Its master missed Huang Tu so much even though she did not have any memory of him. If she could still remember him, she would probably have killed herself. In fact, Gu Xijiu could still stay two more months in heaven; however, nothing here could bring any interest to her anymore.
Although she has been staying in heaven for quite some time, she felt she was a guest rather than a native. In fact, she did not have many friends up there as she only interacted with a few people for the sake of the mission.
The ones she cherished were Long Siye and Yun Yanli. However, Long Siye has been very busy since he became a commander, while Yun Yanli was still missing. Thus, there was nothing she would miss anyway.
Therefore, she sent a message to Long Siye and told him that she was leaving. Long Siye was surprised and asked why she intended to leave early.
Gu Xijiu gave a rather simple explanation; she claimed that she had completed her mission and had no other reason to stay. Moreover, she had something else to do as there was chaos on earth which she needed to solve.
Long Siye continued, ”Xijiu, I'll wait for you to come half a year later! Let me be your host!”
Gu Xijiu only offered a smile as she did not plan to come again. ”I don't plan to come again.” Gu Xijiu did not want Long Siye to wait hopelessly; hence, she decided to come clean with him. ”I probably will not come in the next few years.”
Long Siye remained silent for quite a while and asked, ”Xijiu, do you not want me as your friend anymore?”
Gu Xijiu sighed. ”Why would I? You'll be my friend forever.”
”Then, I'll wait for you to come!”
Gu Xijiu remained silent for a while and continued, ”Let's see.”
She was not sure if she would still want to come here. After all, she did not miss this place, and there was nothing much she could do to help Long Siye anymore since he had already gotten a good job.
Gu Xijiu heard that Long Siye has been working very hard and insisted on practicing his cultivation every day after his duty and hardly took any breaks.
Gu Xijiu never knew that Long Siye was so aggressive as he lived a very slow life back on earth and did not really care about his status when he was Long Xi. Perhaps, he did not want to live shamefully with discrimination. After all, Long Siye was a person with pride.
Perhaps, in less than 10,000 years, he could already become a Mighty Immortal based on his talent and effort. It was good to have a goal!
Gu Xijiu actually envied him because one would not feel lonely when he had a goal to fight for. Gu Xijiu was already bored living for only 200 years. She shook her head at that thought and decided not to think about it. She returned to earth right away.
In fact, Long Siye was at a critical moment of his cultivation when he spoke to Gu Xijiu. He was idling as he looked at the directed audio spell after talking to her. Although he did not have any memories about his past, he still had a special feeling for Gu Xijiu. However, her status was too mighty; hence, he did not confess. He was too embarrassed to show his love.
