The realm gate opened.
Bai Ze could not believe his ears when Yi Feng reported this to him. After all, they had been trying for tens of thousands of years. He only believed it when he saw the floating white opening, which was then as tall as a human being. He sensed the familiar aura – the divine race aura he had unfortunately been separated from all these years.
This really is the realm gate that led to the Divine Realm.
But why now, at this time!
(⊙_⊙)
He… doesn’t want to go back?
Bai Ze was not in the least bit happy. Instead, he felt like bursting into tears. He had just given away the Black Spirit Blossom and decided to stay in this realm. Why did the realm gate open now?
“Spirit Master, is this…” Yi Feng asked excitedly.
Bai Ze stepped toward the opening and nodded, “Yes.”
“That’s great!” The Yi Family finally fulfilled the promise they had passed down for generations.
“Congratulations, Spirit Master, you can finally go home.”
Bai Ze did not respond. Instead, he turned around to look at Shen Ying, who stood beside him. His expression was cool, but his eyes appeared… unwilling. He seemed like he was waiting for Shen Ying to say something.
Shen Ying shifted uncomfortably and cleared her throat. She waved, “Goodbye, Furball.”
His eyes dimmed, and he looked even more unwilling. He clenched his fists by his side and stepped forward toward her, his face flushing a deep red. He took in a deep breath and finally found his voice, “Shen… Ying, you are the only one I have ever given the Black Spirit Blossom to.”
Shen Ying paused. “Oh.” Why was he telling her this?
“Really!” He insisted, thinking she did not believe him. “I will never… never give it to another person. Believe me.” That was the most important memento among those in the divine race.
He grasped her hand suddenly. She was the only girl who made him want to give the Black Spirit Blossom to her after all these years.
Yi Qing, who had been standing by the side the entire time, suddenly looked upset. He put himself between the two of them, blocking the passionate gazes from Bai Ze.
“Master has already used the Black Spirit Blossom to help you open the realm gate.” Stay away from my master, you little bastard! “The realm gate only stays open for a limited time. Fellow Daoist, you best be going now.” Get lost!
Bai Ze hesitated and glared at Yi Qing. The tension between the two of them rose once again. I really hate this mortal!
“Spirit Master, you do need to hurry!” Yi Feng nervously pointed to the realm gate, which started rapidly shrinking.
Bai Ze turned to glance at the realm gate, then turned to look back at Shen Ying. Finally, he took several steps toward the realm gate. He stopped in front of it, scanning the opening, which was flashing as white as snow. He frowned deeply, refusing to step through the gate.
If he went through the gate, he would not be able to come back. He would never get to see…
“Please, Fellow Daoist.” Yi Qing said in an impatient manner..
“Spirit Master, the Yi Family has finally fulfilled the promise that its ancestors made tens of thousands of years ago. You… please take care,” Yi Feng was a mess of emotions, not bearing to see his spirit master go.
“Quickly enter, the realm gate is closing,” Lonemoon added.
Even Shen Ying was waving her hands, “Bye bye, Furball! Go home for a good meal.” She paused and added, “Look for a pretty beast.” Man and beast have no future together.
“…”
He did not want a beast! Bai Ze felt like he had been stabbed in his chest. A sourness rose at the back of his throat and his entire gut clenched up. He was so unwilling to leave.
Suddenly, he remembered the words of rejection Shen Ying had spoken to him the day before: Different species cannot fall in love! She was clearly fond of him the first day that they met. He even touched… touched… why is she rejecting him?
o(╥_╥)o
If he went back now, they would not just be of different species; they would be of completely different realms. They might never meet again, then he…
