After escaping the treacherous Nether Pond, the protagonist is reunited with her Granny, Qing Li. Yu Longting, protective as ever, questions Qing Li's motives and appearance, leading to a tense exchange that highlights his possessiveness over the protagonist. The conversation then shifts to Yu Longting's parents and the two White Immortals who were abducted, with discussions about potential sacrifices and family bonds. The protagonist reassures Yu Longting by showing him the intact household registration book, solidifying their commitment.

Although Yu Longting acts as an independent agent, he still defers to my wishes, responding with a simple, "Alright."

For the second time, the two White Immortals watched their destiny being manipulated by others, their faces etched with dumbfounded bewilderment.

Our small group departed Moonless City, following the familiar path from the Bronze Tree towards the Nether Spring.

After descending the waterfall of the Nether Spring, we found ourselves back in the very village from which we had previously emerged.

The water flowed serenely, and a stone bridge, draped in lush, verdant moss, spanned the gentle current.

It was only upon reaching this tranquil location that the two White Immortals were fully unbound.

Their intense timidity was truly the reason; having been freed once already below, they were too agitated.

Consequently, they refused to listen to any commands and began to dart about in a frenzy.

Therefore, they had to be restrained once more and brought outside before their final release.

The moment the Spider Silk restraints were removed, they bolted like rabbits, vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.

"My wife and I need to finalize our marriage registration, so we will take our leave here," Yu Longting stated plainly, without any lingering sentiment, as he led me to bid farewell to Qing Li and Yu Qingxiao.

Yu Qingxiao cast a discerning gaze upon Yu Longting, a barely contained smile playing on his lips, and remained silent.

However, as Yu Longting initiated a Mysterious Step with me, a sudden air wall halted our progress.

Yu Longting immediately became incensed, sensing that Dragon Dad was intentionally creating obstacles, and angrily exclaimed, "Both Demonic Caves have been discovered and sealed; Qing Li is free. What more do you demand?"

"Son, you've matured and learned to share the burdens of your parents," Yu Qingxiao said, patting his son's shoulder with a continued smile. "I am deeply gratified that you have alleviated our concerns by venturing to the Nether Pond. I absolutely will not punish you for the playful ancient restraint incident from last time, but…"

"But what?" Yu Longting's expression darkened.

Yu Qingxiao articulated each word with deliberate clarity, "Isn't it time you handed over the scripture to me?"

"You mean that ring inscribed with scripture, right? I fear that ring is currently with Wuyue." I recalled obtaining it from Piao Changji and subsequently giving it to Yu Longting, but at that time, Yu Longting had been possessed by Wuyue. By extension, I surmised the scripture would likely remain with Wuyue.

Yu Longting offered no verbal response; his finger lightly traced the White Python emblem on my attire.

Instantly, a white jade ring materialized in his palm. "Now we are quits. I harbor no regrets about leaving your side; my wife was in labor at the time, and no matter what, I had to be present. Even if I were offered another chance."

"Ah, perhaps I should have given birth to a roast pork bun instead of you," Yu Qingxiao remarked, accepting the ring and placing it upon Qing Li's finger. He narrowed his eyes, "I still have some unresolved matters. Please ensure your mother is well cared for. Besides… don't you have something vital that requires your mother's assistance? If you don't address it soon, I fear you will regret it."

"Is this about finding Qingyang?" I inquired, winking at Dragon Dad.

Yu Qingxiao chuckled softly, even reaching out to pat my head.

However, as he performed this gesture, a certain White Snake regarded him with a look of world-ending ferocity, only slightly calming down after Yu Qingxiao's hand had moved from my head.

Yu Qingxiao then urged, "Hurry and locate him. Zhao Sihai is reaching his limit; his half-year deadline is almost up, and he's about to break his promise."

Dragon Dad truly is an omniscient being, possessing knowledge of our pact with Old Zhao and even knowing Old Zhao's name.

It is indeed Zhao Sihai!

Yu Longting and I had dealings with Old Zhao on numerous occasions, yet he never divulged his true name.

"Yu Qingxiao, what is the meaning of this? Why… why do Wanwan and Yu Longting need to find Qingyang?" Qing Li also detected that something was amiss.

Nevertheless, in the very next second, Yu Qingxiao planted a kiss on Qing Li's forehead before his form dissolved into thin air.
