"..."

Standing outside of the house Die Fei has a stone bowl resting on the dining table. In her right hand is a round tipped stone that is meant to be used as a grinder.

Placing a medicinal herb into the stone bowl while using her left hand to hold the bowl in place Die Fei begins to grind the herb with the stone in her right hand.

Time flies by with the sound of the medicinal herbs being grinded up into bits. Occasionally Die Fei would throw another herb into the bowl and mix them together.

In the midst of grinding up the herb Die Fei turns her head to look to the side just in the time to see a rift being opened.

From within a rift that leads into the self-made heaven the three weapon spirits walked out to bring back even more medicinal herbs and places them onto the table to create a large pile.

"..."

Walking out of the rift Bai Yuechu looks up at the skies and sees the gray clouds blotting out the sun.

Winter is nearly here as the chilling winds howl and brings with its presence a sense of emptiness.

The mood of the entire world had seemingly turned gloomy with the arrivals of the Yakshas a week back.

"There shouldn't be too many more herbs to gather. One more trip and we'd be done."

"Alright."

Upon leaving all the medicinal herbs on the dining table the three weapon spirits walked back into the self-made heaven to gather more.

[...Uh?]

Within the bed room Ye Gui Feng is just about to put a winter blanket onto the body of Xiao Ju Hong and the young girl who she is hugging tightly onto.

Both of them are currently fast asleep.

[...]

On the back of Xiao Ju Hong's right hand is a red lotus bud tattoo that is similar to the one on Ye Gui Feng's left hand.

[*Sigh*]

Heaving a heavy sigh Ye Gui Feng gently places the blanket over the two.

The fever of the young girl had gone down after taking some medicine but she still hasn't woken up even after an entire week had gone by.

(I would much rather give this Eternity to father and mother instead.)

[...]

Looking down at the red lotus bud tattoo that is on the back of his left hand a feeling of bitterness wells up in Ye Gui Feng's heart as he recalls the words that the young girl had said to him in that world filled with drawings.

[Eternity...]

Straightening his back Ye Gui Feng stands by the bed with a pained look on his face.

[Just what is this eternity...? Is this the kind of eternity that I, that we had been chasing after all this time?]

If this eternity is the very same eternity that they had yearned for all this time-

(As Na Jia would say everything comes at a price and this price is something that all must pay even if they are unaware of it!)

Recalling the words that Li Jiu Tian had quoted from another Original Monarch that goes by the name of Na Jia Ye Gui Feng clutches his chest with a gloomy frown.

[...No.]

Shaking his head Ye Gui Feng denies this to be the eternity that he and Xiao Ju Hong had yearned to possess. Neither Xiao Ju Hong or him would want this kind of eternity that had come to them at the exchange of their daughter's life.
