Chapter 93 (Extra 15)
Inside the cave, the tiger and Bian Rang faced each other.
Neither was adept at socializing, so they sat silently, holding their breath to eavesdrop on the conversation outside.
Outside the cave, Yu Wuxia’s clothes fluttered in the wind, a faint smile on his face.
Jiuying’s lips tightened into a straight line. Faced with this bald donkey who had nearly killed him, he couldn’t muster a smile.
“What do you want to tell me?” he asked.
“Is there a scar on your heart?” Yu Wuxia looked at him skeptically.
“Yes…” Jiuying stared at him.
“It’s the scar left by the Heavenly Law’s tail finger. It torments you whenever it rains,” Yu Wuxia smiled, “but it can be healed. If you destroy the Heavenly Law’s severed tail finger, the scar will naturally disappear.”
“Really?”
“Mm.”
“Why are you telling me this?” Jiuying frowned at him. Despite hearing that this bald donkey had undergone a profound transformation after coming back to life and no longer sought to destroy the six realms, he still harbored some distrust towards him.
Would he really be so kind?
Could he be hatching another bad idea?
“Meeting each other must be fate,” Yu Wuxia shook the bell on his right arm. Inside the cave, the tiger emerged.
Jiuying noticed a matching bell around the tiger’s neck.
The tiger showed no expression, walked out without looking at Yu Wuxia, and swished its tail as it walked away.
Yu Wuxia followed behind the tiger, saying, “The Heavenly Law’s tail finger is now in the Demon Lord’s hands. You can ask him for it.”
With that said, the man and the tiger disappeared into the morning mist.
In the mist, faint sounds of intersecting bells could be heard.

When Bian Rang woke up from the bed, he didn’t see Jiuying and assumed as usual that Jiuying had gone out to find food for him. He stayed in bed, slept a little longer until noon, and still didn’t see Jiuying return.
They had agreed earlier to go to the Ninth Heaven in the afternoon to find Si Lan and destroy the Heavenly Law’s tail finger.
Now where could Jiuying have gone?
Bian Rang got out of bed, threw on a long robe, and walked out absentmindedly.
A white bird chirped and landed on his hand. He touched the bird’s forehead, about to communicate with Jiuying, when he sensed a smell of blood carried by the mountain wind.
Turning around, he saw Jiuying covered in blood in front of him.
He quickly let go of the bird in his hand and rushed to Jiuying. “What happened? Were you attacked by a wild beast?”
Jiuying didn’t speak. He trembled as he unbuttoned Bian Rang’s long robe stained with blood. Bian Rang lowered his head and saw that the ferocious scar on his chest had disappeared.
Bian Rang suddenly understood.
Jiuying smiled relievedly, but blood overflowed from his mouth. “The scar is gone…”
After saying that, he collapsed into Bian Rang’s arms.
Bian Rang hurriedly helped him into the cave and examined his injuries. “Didn’t we agree to go to the Ninth Heaven together?” He untied Jiuying’s long robe soaked in blood, finding no wounds on the surface, suspecting Jiuying had internal injuries.
The sword transformed from the Heavenly Law’s tail finger was not easily destroyed; casting spells on it would backfire on the caster.
Therefore, Jiuying had never intended to take Bian Rang to the Ninth Heaven. While Bian Rang slept, he went alone to find Si Lan and, with Si Lan’s help, exerted all his strength to destroy the sword.
At the moment the sword was destroyed, the soul of Yide, trapped within, was also freed. Yide reincarnated and went to find Kui.
Jiuying was injured by the sword’s aura, almost shattering his internal organs. The ringing of swords kept buzzing in his ears. After destroying the sword, he dared not stop and immediately returned to Sanxu Mountain. It wasn’t until he saw the scar on Bian Rang’s chest disappear that he felt relieved, lying down on the bed, his breath faint.
He reached out and touched Bian Rang’s face, comforting, “I’m fine, just need some rest.”
Bian Rang’s face was grim, silent. He continuously infused spiritual power into Jiuying until Jiuying’s breathing stabilized, then spoke, “When a ghost dies, it becomes a wisp and must reside in the realm of the underworld. If you die, I won’t see you again.”
Only then did fear flicker across Jiuying’s face. He held Bian Rang’s hand tightly, coughed weakly, and said, “I… I won’t die. I know my limits.”
Bian Rang wanted to retract his hand but couldn’t. He didn’t know where Jiuying got the strength to grip him; moments ago, he seemed as fragile as a thread.
Jiuying’s hand fell to Bian Rang’s collar, as if he intended to unbutton it again. Bian Rang instinctively tightened his grip, frowning at him. Jiuying awkwardly said, “I just want to… cough cough, confirm again.”
Seeing his pale face, Si Lan reluctantly helped him undo his clothes to confirm. He reached out to touch Si Lan’s chest, causing him to pause briefly.
The scar on his chest was gone, but the bruised kisses in shades of green and purple remained intertwined like ancient patterns.
“Cough, cough.”
He suddenly coughed again.
Si Lan immediately bent down to check on him, but he abruptly pulled Si Lan into his arms.
Now grown, he had a tall and slender figure compared to Si Lan, with skin not as fair but more wheat-colored. When their bodies overlapped, it seemed like a wild beast had ensnared Si Lan from behind.
“Si Lan, I want to hold you.”
With a lowered head, Haowei’s almost imperceptible kiss landed on Si Lan’s neck, his voice soft and nearly inaudible, yet with a rising intonation, as if he were coquettish.
Si Lan didn’t struggle, nor dared to, afraid of hurting this ghost.
Haowei murmured, “When the snow in the Northern Plains melts, we can start anew.”
Si Lan sighed, “You should focus on recovering first.”
“Mm.”
—
Outside the cave came a strange noise, a white bird flew in, and Si Lan wanted to get up to check, but Haowei held him tightly from behind.
Haowei had fallen asleep.
Even in dreams, the strength in his arms did not diminish.
Si Lan could only sigh, gripping Haowei’s hand back, unable to shake off the words Haowei had said earlier.
“When the snow in the Northern Plains melts, we can start anew…”
In fact, back then, “When the snow in the Northern Plains melts, I will return,” was just something he used to comfort Haowei. He hadn’t expected to be able to return to cultivation after his soul dispersed.
Perhaps it was his determination for Haowei, for the child, or perhaps the heavens softened, but in the end, he returned.
After Haowei slept for a while, he finally loosened his grip on Si Lan’s hand, muttering indistinctly.
Si Lan leaned closer, hearing him intermittently call his name.
“Si… Lan… Lan…”
Si Lan’s heart stirred slightly as he looked at Haowei’s half-closed eyes and asked, “What will you do if I can’t come back?”
“I’ll keep waiting.”
Just waiting, like it had been a hundred thousand years already, silently waiting.
Waiting until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, waiting until death.
Si Lan bent down and kissed Haowei’s lips. A tear fell from his eye onto Haowei’s forehead, and Haowei turned over groggily.
Si Lan walked out of the cave and saw a jade seven-star bottle on the ground, containing several immortality pills.
These pills could heal Haowei’s internal injuries.
He held the bottle and looked up at the sky. “Thank you, Junli.”
Facing the mountain wind, he stood silently for a moment.
“Si Lan!”
Inside the cave, Haowei woke up, not seeing Si Lan, and panicked as he got out of bed, loudly calling Si Lan’s name.
Si Lan heard him and walked in. Haowei saw him and immediately hugged him.
Like a child, Haowei murmured, “Where did you go?”
“Just outside.”
“Don’t go far.”
“I’m just at the door.”
“That’s… not allowed either.”
Si Lan fell silent for a moment. “Okay.”
Haowei smiled, a faint blush on his face, lowered his head, and lightly brushed lips with Si Lan.
Si Lan sighed inwardly.
After reuniting, Haowei became increasingly clingy, more and more like a child.
Haowei’s lips touched above Si Lan’s ear, “Si Lan, I feel little Ah Li is lonely with only Senior Brother.”
“Hmm?”
Si Lan looked at him in confusion, thinking he meant to bring Xie Li back, but Haowei pursed his lips and whispered, “Why don’t we have a little brother or sister for him?”
“…” Si Lan.
“Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”
“Haowei!”
“A girl then. We already have a son, so a daughter would be nice.”
“Haowei, you…”
“The daughter should look like me, no, she should look like you.” Haowei continued talking, pulling Si Lan towards the bed, not giving Si Lan a chance to refuse. “She will definitely be the most beautiful woman under the heavens.”
“…” Si Lan.
“What are you thinking? You should focus on recovering!”
“So, does that mean once I recover, it’s okay?!” Haowei’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Si Lan felt like the jade seven-star bottle in his hand was burning. He wanted to quietly throw away those immortality pills.
But in the end, he didn’t. He fed them to Haowei.
Haowei’s body recovered exceptionally fast. After recovering, he persistently persuaded Si Lan, finally tasting meat again.
After indulging fully, he touched Si Lan’s abdomen as if casting a spell, muttering, “Let’s have a daughter, let’s have a daughter, let’s have a daughter.”
Si Lan, infuriated, kicked him away.
At the year’s end, the sky showed an omen, clouds in the shape of a child covered Sanxu Mountain.
Suddenly, a thunderous laughter echoed from within Sanxu Mountain.
“He’s pregnant! He’s pregnant! Ahahahaha…”
