Zhu Longwang heard a voice, perhaps a few. As he looked around him, countless mirages appeared before him, all depicting different people. He wrinkled his brows, purple eyes holding confusion within them. What was this?

As he stared at each of the mirages, he didn't know, but his heart pounded against his chest. Even if he wasn't aware, his soul was responding to each scene.

"Immortal."

Zhu Longwang turned around. Before him, he saw an elegant youth dressed in white. The man was thin and slender, with gentle features and soft eyes. Yet, his eyes were black, as black as the night. In his arms, a white fox laid.

"Who are you?" Zhu Longwang asked. He wasn't sure, but he also wasn't afraid of this man.

The man smiled, lips curving gently. "Please sit first." Then, pausing, he seemed to see the way that Zhu Longwang at him with cold eyes. "Don't worry, I wish you no harm."

Zhu Longwang stood still for a few seconds before he finally walked up. He sat down opposite of the man, feeling a light breeze upon the mountain.

"I need to return. I don't know why you've brought me here, but I have to return back to the mortal realm." Zhu Longwang's voice was cold. His purple eyes were chilled, with an expressionless face. He clenched his hands by his side, a hint of nervousness from this action. He wanted to return. He wanted to see what had happened in the mortal realm after all this time.

The man's lips curved gently, his hand petting the fox. "I know that you are in a rush. I have some things to give to you, hence I could only stop you for a bit." The fox in his arms stirred, yawning as it showed its canine. "Fengmian."

The fox's blue eyes were flickering. As it looked at the man, the fox finally jumped onto the table, closing its eyes. Between its eyes, a sharp light appeared.

Zhu Longwang watched as a small bead of light was slowly extracted from the fox, flying into the man's open hand.

"This is the final step in sealing all the pieces of your souls together. Nectarine of Immortality, a drop of water from the Eternal Falls in Heaven, said to be the medicine for all injuries, something that can reverse death, and fix all the damage done to a body." The man handed the small porcelain bottle to Zhu Longwang.

Zhu Longwang furrowed his brows as he stared at the bottle. "Who are you?"

The man merely smiled as he looked at Zhu Longwang, "An old friend. You don't know me, but I know well about you. This is what I owe to both you and him, hence, I have been waiting thousands of years for this day." The man paused as his lips trembled. Fixing his smile, his eyes turning red, he continued, "I can only hope that you two remain forever as one. After all, he sacrificed many things for you back then, and in this life, you did the same for him."

Zhu Longwang couldn't ignore the way the man seemed to say these words through gritted teeth. As he held the bottle in his hands, his heart wavered. But he remained calm, lifting his cold eyes as he asked, "And why should I trust you?"

The man chuckled, "It's up to you to decide. He is waiting for you. No matter how evil I am, I will not harm the one that he is waiting for."

Zhu Longwang wasn't sure about who the man was talking about. His thoughts returned to Fei Qianchi, his stomach knotting inside. His emotions ran wild as the man's image appeared in his head. It was too hard to forget his appearance. Perhaps, his white hair and blue eyes were too breathtaking. Even with these features, he was not a delicate man. His features were both sharp and strong, a tall man, perhaps even taller than him.

"Don't hesitate for too long. While the Pill of Sacrifice has gathered your souls, it does not guarantee that they have been mended into one whole soul." The man said seriously.
