Back then, they were still young and innocent, the sweetness of their first love, the heartbeating of youth and joy, each time Zhong Yue recalled of the lovely memory of that time and couldn’t help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
But those times were fleeting. As they both grew, the responsibility and burden he had to bear grew too.
The young boy was thus left with no choice, and he had to put his life on the line. He had to risk everything he had, not knowing when he would die and clueless about what would happen in the future. He did not dare to give the young lady a promise.
The only thing he guaranteed to her was his eternal loyalty.
Yet, even with such an absurd promise, the young lady followed him regardless, leaving the place that gave birth to her, the Ancestral Star, separating from her family to enter hell with him.
Even more than that, the young lady even asked to be turned into one of the Huaxu Clan, whose lower body was a serpent tail, sinking herself into worries, fearing that her new appearance would put Zhong Yue off.
In terms of relationship, the relationship between them was the strongest and at the same time, purest.
The young man and young lady sat with each other and shared their stories, adventures and knowledge. Both enjoyed the peaceful time together. Qiu Jin’er was the only one that could ease his uneasy heart, whenever he was with her, he would be able to temporarily cast aside his problems, he could always find his peace.
Their arms crossed, her head on his shoulder, his arm around her waist, they both talked happily and their souls twined with each other, pulling them closer in mind.
As much as Zhong Yue wanted this moment to last forever, all good things came to an end; when Zhong Yue achieved the Innate Kun Earth Dao, it was his time to leave.
He got down from the altar and walked towards the far and that was when the lady’s voice came from his back, “Senior martial brother!”
He turned around, where Qiu Jin’er, who was on the altar, opened her mouth. It looked as if there were a billion words that she wanted to tell him, but in the end, all the thoughts she wanted to tell him turned into a simple sentence, “Senior martial brother, I will be waiting for you! No matter how long it takes!”
Right away, Zhong Yue’s soft spot was struck, a second later, his emotions turned into a torrent of ambitious will and love.
“Jin’er! Marry me!”
He shouted as he let his emotions take over him, voicing out his thoughts without any restrictions, right on this empty Kun Earth Qi sacred ground.
“Wait for me and I will be back to marry you! No matter what happens, even if the world falls apart, I will return and marry you! Wait for me!”
Qiu Jin’er’s mind went blank for a second, her face turned red with visible speed and in her heart, she felt very sweet yet a little sour at the same time. After that, without saying a word, she happily waved her hands at the man she loved with everything she had.
Zhong Yue finally left, leaving the lady alone on the altar with her rapidly beating heart, her strength drained away from her body and she leaned herself against the altar’s pillar, slowly sliding to the ground while laughing and tearing up.
“He promised me… Senior martial brother gave me his promise….” mumbled the girl.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue left Hua Xu Star Ocean, still affected by his unsuppressed emotions, sinking himself in the confession he made. He had finally confessed his feelings to his beloved junior martial sister!
Suddenly, Xin Huo popped out and yawned, “You playboy, what are you going to do now? What promise will you give? To the lady over there.”
Immediately, Zhong Yue raised his head, his eyes met with a pair of beautiful eyes belonging to Jun Sixie, who was now on a ship. She sat near the window, her back leaning against the pillar and smiled at Zhong Yue.
“Junior martial brother.” said Jun Sixie softly and gently.
“This love debt that you bare, even if you try to clear it off, you will never finish clearing it in your entire life.”
Xin Huo said slowly, “When you give your promise to a lady, you will be turning your back on the other ladies, Zhong Yue, you mustn’t make any promises recklessly.”
Zhong Yue, however, stood up and shouted, “Senior martial sister, in the future, are you willing to marry me?”
His words left Jun Sixie with an empty mind and after some time, the lady shook and giggled, “Stupid.”
Without leaving a single word, she left while Zhong Yue who was not satisfied without receiving an answer shouted, “Will you say yes to me, senior martial sister?”
Jun Sixie got out from the cabin, walked towards the end of the ship in elegance before she shouted, “Have you forgotten why I left the Ancestral Star with you?”
The happy Zhong Yue uncontrollably smiled and he shouted back, “Wait for me!”
Jun Sixie returned back to the cabin happily and after that, she sailed deep into the Hua Xu Star Ocean, raising stars as the paddle swirled in the water.
As for Zhong Yue, after he calmed himself down, he walked towards the outside but before he could even leave the sacred mountains, another lady approached. This time, it was Huaxu Clan’s future Nuwa, Hua Qianwen, the lady destined to marry him even before the two were born.
Hua Qianwen, who was very carefree, was humming some kind of song as she hopped around, when she saw Zhong Yue, she ceased singing right away, tidying her attire and saying gently, “Darling.”
“What are you going to promise her this time?” asked an excited Xin Huo.
Hearing this, Zhong Yue’s head was on the verge of exploding, unlike the others, the marriage between him and Hua Qianwen was decided by their ancestors many years ago!
The leaders of the Huaxu Clan and Fuxi Celestial Race were destined to marry each other!

Fuxi and Nuwa, was a destined couple, this was the ancestral tradition, a rule!
Upon witnessing the gossip first hand, the excited Xin Huo opened his eyes wide, happily waiting for Zhong Yue to give a promise, this little flame had never seen such interesting thing before.
Zhong Yue smiled, “Hua Qianwen, why are you so polite with me?”
“But didn’t they say husband and wife should be polite to each other?”
Hua Qianwen blinked her eyes and giggled, “Goddess also said that I shouldn’t be so unrestricted when I’m with you, in the future, I will marry you and if I continue to behave like that, I will humiliate myself in front of your family.”
Zhong Yue speechlessly said, “Qianwen, I’m already married….”
“Xuan’er?”
Hua Qianwen returned to her natural behavior and giggled, “She can’t defeat me, she won’t be able to do anything but then again, I can’t defeat her as well. This little girl is getting stronger day by day, back in the future monarch meeting, I talked with her privately and asked about my ranking in the family if I married you. At first, she is very reluctant so we had a duel, which I suppose you saw as well. I was in a hurry so I didn’t fight till the end. I returned home not long ago and hurriedly came over after knowing that you were here….”
Zhong Yue was clueless for a second and when he realized what happened, he shouted, “The meeting ended about 30 years ago and you just returned home? Where did you go?”
Hua Qianwen embarrassedly said, “I got lost, I traveled for a very long time and I just couldn’t find the Huaxu Sacred Ground. Then I find myself in an ocean filled with heavenly fire and only knew that I was in Heavenly Fire Barren Region. However, thanks to your friend, Feng Mingshan, who is bringing his people out from the Heavenly Fire Barren Region, saying that they are going to find a land for themselves to strengthen their power. He pointed me the way and only then did I reach the ancient universe….”
Not knowing whether to laugh or to cry, Zhong Yue said, “But the ancient universe is on the exact opposite of the Huaxu Sacred Ground, how did you get there?”
“Then I had a fight out of nowhere without any reason, after the fight, I somehow made it to Imperial Star, where many monarch spirits were fighting.”
Hua Qianwen blinked her alluring eyes, “Fortunately, I got back in the end. By the way, when are you going to marry me?”
Zhong Yue’s head turned big right away and he hesitated said, “We’re not old enough, isn’t it too early to talk about this?”
“True, we should strengthen our relationship more before we get married.”
Hua Qianwen dragged Zhong Yue with her right away and smiled, “I know a place perfect for couples, come with me!”
Zhong Yue limped away upon being dragged, only to find that the Huaxu Clan’s young lady brought him to a valley of flowers, the stars hung in the skies, flowers blossomed everywhere and there were butterfly spirits flowing among the flowers, each holding a tiny basket, filled with the honey they harvested.
“This is it, the best place for couple in my opinion!”
Hua Qianwen dragged Zhong Yue with her amidst the ocean of flower, her eyes lit up suddenly and she plucked a flower, “A flower a world, are there thousand Daos, living beings in the world in this flower? Do they have their own love, sorrow, hatred, and loyalty?”
A smile hung on her face and she continued, “What kind of Dao is their Dao? What is love to them? What kind of adventure do they have?”
There were so many questions that Zhong Yue couldn’t answer at all and that was when the flower in the lady’s hand was placed near her nose, seemingly smelling the sweet scent of the flower, but Zhong Yue saw her thoughts and Yuan Shen drifting away, lingering in the dimensions and wandering somewhere far away.
When those questions appeared in her mind, she understood something beyond the comprehension of many, a smile on her face and her Yuan Shen wandered away, without any worries with her.
Zhong Yue was speechless for an idiot who did not know her way actually loved such a way of learning about Dao, he was unsure if her Yuan Shen could find her way back to her body.
He opened Three Eyes Heavenly Pupil, searched for Hua Qianwen’s Yuan Shen and in just a short time, the lady’s Yuan Shen had already floated out of the Huaxu Sacred Ground, happily wandering around, passing through the sun, teasing the sun spirit before suddenly entering the Void World to have a conversation with the ancient saintly spirits.
Her Yuan Shen then leaped into the lower realm, arriving at a strange planet and staring at a turtle in a pond that was staring back at her.
Her Dao heart is too pure, she is not an Innate Saint Spirit Body but her affinity towards the Daos is on par with Fanxuan’s. No wonder she will lose herself, this little girl will learn new things about Daos every single time and each time this happens, she will chase after the Daos only to be distracted by other Daos.
His Yuan Shen left his body and chased after the girl. After some time, he finally caught up with the lady’s Yuan Shen running amok. But just as he was about to drag her back, he was instead stalled by Hua Qianwen.
The girl’s Yuan Shen was incredibly powerful, the duo’s Yuan Shen then lingered around, entered the heaven and dived into the earth, did every single thing Zhong Yue deemed absurd, childish or pointless.
“See? Daos are everywhere!”
Hua Qianwen had him staring at a toad and said happily, “Stare into its eyes and take a close look carefully, can you see that it has its own Dao as well? There is no standard among Daos, they can be a divine dragon and they could also be an ordinary toad!”
Their Yuan Shen then wandered far away, so far that their body could not be detected anymore and Hua Qianwen finally remembered to go back. This time, in order to prevent her from getting herself lost, Zhong Yue led the way and they finally returned to their body.
“I feel like our relationship is one step closer!” shouted Hua Qianwen excitedly.
Zhong Yue was left speechless and he said, ‘Qianwen, next time, you don’t have to pretend to be very serious and polite anymore. Just be yourself, instead of the serious and well-behaved you, I like the way you are even more!”
This girl was a lively one, hence, she managed to achieve what she achieved right now, if the liveliness in her was restricted, she would be restricted as well and this was not something Zhong Yue wished to see, even if she did this because of their marriage and for him.
Besides, after having such a childish yet interesting adventure with Hua Qianwen, Zhong Yue actually discovered that every object in this world had their own Dao. He was not talented at this field but Hua Qianwen had an impressive affinity in this field.
“You said it, not me!” giggled Hua Qianwen with her eyes lit up hearing Zhong Yue’s words.
“Of course! But remember, you have to remember your way back, don’t get yourself lost again.” reminded Zhong Yue carefully.
