Syaoran heard someone call his name. The sound is getting closer. Syaoran slowly opened his eyes. In the middle of the day, he was standing on the ocean of vases. In front of him, stood Jiutian Xuannü.
Syaoran, "What are you doing here since the battle is already over?"
Jiutian Xuannü smiled at Syaoran, "The battle is over, your army survived."
Syaoran breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what are you doing here? "
Jiutian Xuannü, "I came with an offer."
Syaoran doubted Jiutian Xuannü, "Another offer?"
Jiutian Xuannü, "I can free you from here, but you must catch the last soul."
Syaoran bargained, "Not good enough, I have already told Aishu, this time I will be greedy, as long as you reverse the order, I will go fetched you that last soul."
Jiutian Xuannü smiled and said, "You thought I would agree."
Syaoran continued to bargain with Jiutian Xuannü, "If you want me to do heavenly work for you, just accept my proposal. What I want is to be husband and wives with Chá Huā and Hé Huā every single life time, if you agree... For generations to come, we will always be hunters, purifying evil for you. If you reject my proposal, they can continue to reincarnate, and I will guard this Demon Gate for eternity."
Jiutian Xuannü shook her head disappointedly, "You have never changed."
Syaoran smirked, "You came to this proposal because Chá Huā and Hé Huā refused to hunt down the last soul. Just take my proposal. Both parties win."
Jiutian Xuannü, "Agree."
Syaoran, "I curse you with your goddess' words. If you don't fulfill your promise, we will become the three most evil souls after death. We will destroy heaven and bring heaven to hell." He raised her right hand. "Let's taps three times." Syaoran and Jiutian Xuannü tapped their hand together three times. "Through these three taps, what we promised is seal, and heaven and hell are our witnesses."
Then everything darkened. When Ping'an opened her eyes again, she was already lying in bed in the middle of the night. She stood up slowly, and she felt that her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand up. It took her a while to get used to her legs.
Ping'an softly called out, "Baiyu, Renshu." She only heard the sound of the waterfall.
She remembered Jiutian Xuannü telling her that they had won. She must have passed out because of exhaustion, her husbands may be busy with the military situation. After waiting for her husbands for two hours, they did not come back and she regained some strength. She stood up, walked into the kitchen, and began to prepare dinner.
At this moment, the two men can do nothing. They decided to call it a night, and walked back to their bamboo hut.
Zhao Renshu said angrily, "Who do you think did it?"
Guo Baiyu, "Who do you think hates her the most? I don't know who hates her?"
Zhao Renshu frantically said, "I know who hates her the most. Hu Qingge. I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm hunting her down."
Guo Baiyu, "You didn't see it with your own eyes. You don't know who is the perpetrator. Don't guess, you can't undo what you have done. Now that you mentioned Hu Qingge, don't you remember the situation in the border town. Now, how much you want to go back undo what you have done, but you can't do it."
Zhao Renshu pushed Guo Baiyu back, "I told you to stop talking."
Guo Baiyu said, "I'm giving you a example."
Zhao Renshu shouted wildly, "You want to see with your own eyes, just like when she stabbed her chest with the knife last time? Huh?"
Guo Baiyu still remained calmly, "I just don't want you to regret what you did."
Zhao Renshu gritted his teeth madly, "I will regret it if I don't kill her."
Guo Baiyu calmly said, "Think it through carefully before you act. If you kill her without witness and evidences, the Bee Clan will become your enemy. They will stand on the side of the scorpion clan and spider clan, which will bring trouble to other spirits clans. Other clans will soon follow the Bee Clan because their respected leader kill a spirit without evidence."
Zhao Renshu shouted angrily, "There is nothing to prove. If you are afraid of losing your title as their Grand Leader, I will resign and I will kill her, which means you have nothing to do with this matter."
Guo Baiyu shouted behind him, "You are letting your emotions take control."
Zhao Renshu stopped and turned around, "Shut up, I am not a great hero like you." He pointed at Guo Baiyu with his finger. "Always consider others first, and then consider myself. Deep down in my heart, I know that you still regret leaving your luxury mansion and the title of Master behind."
Guo Baiyu's blood rushed down from his head, "Say it again."
Zhao Renshu approached and provocatively said, "You regret leaving your luxury mansion and the title of Master behind."
Guo Baiyu punched Zhao Renshu's lower left corner of his mouth and the bridge of his nose. This punch made Zhao Renshu fall backward onto a tree on the walk path.
Zhao Renshu spit blood on the ground, "How dare you hit me?" He shot two icicles directly at Guo Baiyu but Guo Baiyu dodged the icicles.
Guo Baiyu was very angry, "Do you really want to use your talisman against me? Fight me like a man." He shouted. "Don't be such a prodigal loser, rely on your talisman."
Zhao Renshu screamed out loud, "Ah..." He strikes at Guo Baiyu with multiples punches, and one landed on Guo Baiyu's left cheek. Guo Baiyu kicked Zhao Renshu's stomach, Zhao Renshu punched to the right to distract Guo Baiyu, and hit Guo Baiyu's stomach with a fierce punch.
The two elder master with hundreds of disciples, respected and feared by all hunters and spirits, the two leaders whom united the Spirit Clans, they picked fight against one another like children fighting for candy. The two men exchanged fists back and forth. They are in each other's throat, hoping that each other die. The battle started at the crossroads of the road and then about a hundred yards from their home. Guo Baiyu and Zhao Renshu grabbed onto each other's collars pushing and pulling at each other. When the two men were at the gate of the house, they realized that there was light in the house. They loosened each other's collars.
The two men walked into the house. They saw two dishes and three bowls of rice. They walked to the table. Guo Baiyu touched the food, it was still warm.
Guo Baiyu looked at Zhao Renshu, "Someone is here? The food is still warm."
Zhao Renshu gave him a vicious look, "I don't care about it." He walked up into the treehouse, packed his clothes, and went to the stairs back into the front house.
Zhao Renshu walked past Guo Baiyu, and Guo Baiyu grabbed his hand, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Renshu said angrily, "I am leaving all this shit behind. I am going to go back to being myself." He turned to Guo Baiyu. "The original Zhao Renshu."
Guo Baiyu, "You are changing your surname now?"
Zhao Renshu grabbed Guo Baiyu's front collar and gritted his teeth, "I, Zhao Renshu, detest..."
Ping'an stood at the front door, "What do you detested?" She stared at her husbands.
The two men looked towards the door. Ping'an held a plate with two fishes on it.
Ping'an put the plate on the table and sat down, "Go on, you detested what?" Her eyes fell on Zhao Renshu's hand that grabbed Guo Baiyu's collar. "Why do you want to grab Baiyu's collar like this?"
Zhao Renshu didn't believe it, and was shocked at the same time. He patted Guo Baiyu's front collar lightly, and smiled, "I...I... detested this robe." He smiled with guilts eyes.
Ping'an, "Fine, I'll make him a new outfit."
Zhao Renshu walked to Ping'an, but Guo Baiyu pulled him back. He asked, "Who are you?"
Ping'an looked at Guo Baiyu impatiently, "You are really asking this question, are you two hungry?"
Zhao Renshu was dubious, "We are not really hungry, who are you?"
Guo Baiyu asked, "Let us look at your left shoulder."
Ping'an was confused, "What? Why? My left shoulder is not injure."
Guo Baiyu repeated, "Let us look at your left shoulder."
Ping'an moved her robe to the left, and the two men saw the spell magic tattoo and the scar on her breast. The two of them walked over and hugged Ping'an happily.
Ping'an, "Happy now?"
Guo Baiyu, "Happy now."
Zhao Renshu hugged her tightly, "I am so happy, so happy."
Ping'an wanted to break free of their arms, "What's the matter with you two? It's only been two days, don't have to miss me that much."
Guo Baiyu, "What did you said?"
Ping'an, "Let go of me, I can't breathe."
They released her from their arms. The two people sit in their usual positions. They stared at her.
Ping'an stared back at them, "What's wrong with your faces."
Guo Baiyu, "I was attacked by a wild animal."
Zhao Renshu, "He attacked the wild animal first."
Ping'an shook her head, "You two are fighting?"
The two looked at each other without saying anything.
Ping'an frowned, "You two are old, let alone still act like children, especially Baiyu, you should know better." She looked at Zhao Renshu. "Renshu, you need to stop provoking him."
Guo Baiyu, "What do you mean when you say it's only two days?"
Ping'an glared at them coldly, "Regard of that, you two lied to me. I haven't settled this with you yet, and you let Peizhi lied to me as well."
Zhao Renshu is defending himself, "Speaking of which, you have decided to become Syaoran, turned into a clay sculpture, the person who will always guard the demon gate, who will settle that?" He looked at her. "You left us for three years, not two days."
Ping'an looked at them, "Three years?"
Both men nodded.
Ping'an, "The last thing I remember was that I jumped into the magic circle. My mind was blank from there to now. The next thing I remember was waking up here. I thought I was too tired from fighting. I dreamed that Syaoran made a bargain with Jiutian Xuannü. She said that the two of you would not leave Immortal Valley... Is it really three years?"
Guo Baiyu held her right hand, "It doesn't matter, it's fine if you come back."
Zhao Renshu held her left hand, "What kind of bargain?"
Ping'an, "Syaoran told her he was greedy. If she reverse her punishment order, he and his wives."
Zhao Renshu said, "You mean us?"
Pingian said, "Yes, will help her. He proposal to her was to let us be husband and wife for a lifetime. We will be hunters every single life time, but if she lied, he cursed, we will become the three most evil souls and bring heaven to hell."
Guo Baiyu complimented Ping'an, "That is a good bargain."
