"Master, where are you going?" Cui Wenyan nestled in King Yan’s embrace but still looked out, staring at Tianmiao.
"I will wait for you above. Your brother will continue to teach you the way of cultivation. When the time comes, tell people up there that you are Tianmiao’s apprentice. Someone will then bring you to see me." Tianmiao raised his hand and pointed upwards.
Cui Wenyan was stunned, above?
Master, who is that?
"My lord, thank you." King Yan bowed to Tianmiao, expressing heartfelt gratitude. Even he could not break the Seal on Cui Wenyan’s Heavenly Eye, and Cui Wenyan would have weakened and died at the age of twenty. Rebirth, continuing a life of suffering and short spans, it was a cycle without end.
Tianmiao’s arrival ended such a painful cycle.
"Master!" Cui Wenyan let go of King Yan, rushed forward, and hugged Tianmiao tightly, choking with emotion, "Master, Master..."
"Be good, Master will wait for you above. The outside world is vast; when the time comes, let’s explore it together." Tianmiao gently stroked Cui Wenyan’s head, speaking tenderly.
"Yes, Master, wait for me, you must wait for me." Cui Wenyan’s nose tingled, and her vision was already blurred. She blinked hard to squeeze out the tears so she could clearly see her master’s face.
"Yes, I will wait for you." Tianmiao smiled, stroked Cui Wenyan’s head again, took two steps back, and slowly raised his hand.
With Tianmiao’s movement, the black aura shrouding the city gradually dissipated. Countless souls rose into the air and then scattered, returning to their original places. The remains of humans in the park disappeared, and those who died unjustly were revived. The entire city returned to its original state.
Dozens of black-clad Ghost Messengers appeared behind King Yan, initially bewildered, then regained their senses, seeing King Yan and a god whose whole body emitted white light. They were the Ghost Messengers devoured by the Ghost King. In an instant, all the Ghost Messengers understood that it was this god who brought them back to life. Without uttering extra words, the Ghost Messengers slowly knelt on one knee towards Tianmiao, expressing their gratitude and respect.
The Ghost Hunters in front of the monitors were almost breathless; this was the first time in their lives they had witnessed such a grand scene. Perhaps it would also be the only time.
Tianmiao slowly ascended into the air, waved at Cui Wenyan, and smiled, "Disciple, keep going. Muaah."
"Master, Master, muaah muaah muaahaaa!" Cui Wenyan rushed forward, beaming brightly, waving her hands wildly, "Master, wait for me, I will come to find you."
Tianmiao’s figure disappeared into the sky, leaving only specks of white light scattering down.
The Ghost Messengers slowly rose, looking at the scattered white light in the sky, speechless for a long time.
"Brother, thank you." Cui Wenyan looked at the cold and stern-faced King Yan, softly saying, "Brother, thank you for everything you’ve done for me."
"Contact me if you need anything. The Seal on the Bell is completely lifted; shaking it nine consecutive times will send a message to me." King Yan smiled but didn’t step forward, instead capturing the remnants of the Ghost King’s soul and disappearing with all the Ghost Messengers.
Yan Qing only regained his senses after a while, then hopped next to Cui Wenyan: "Big shot, look after me in the future. I’ll treat you to hot pot, barbecue, dry pot, whatever you want..." My god, King Yan’s sister, the goddess’s apprentice! I’m truly incredible in this life, becoming friends with such a big shot; this life, it’s worth it!
"Okay." Cui Wenyan didn’t wait for Yan Qing to finish, turned and glanced at Yan Qing, smiling and agreeing.
Then she looked up at the sky, her gaze firm.
Master, wait for me!
(Many things will still happen in this world, and Cui Wenyan will grow quickly. For instance, the talisman Wu Yihao gave his father spontaneously combusted into ashes after his father attended a banquet, prompting Wu Yihao’s father to question him about the talisman’s origin and seek Cui Wenyan’s solution. The sweet romance between the fox ancestor and Liang Bing will encounter some troubles, prompting them to seek Cui Wenyan’s help. Cui Wenyan will also open a shop in the Hidden Market to sell her crafted items. The All Things Antique Store vanishes, with the original location transformed into a tea dessert shop co-owned by Cui Wenyan and Yan Qing. All these follow-ups, little cuties can imagine on their own. For now, this much is updated, a new Chapter will be updated later.)
