Nezha explained somewhat shyly, "I think we've been together for twenty years, and it's time for a formal ceremony. This ring contains parts of the Hun Tian Ling and fragments of the Dragon Heart Jade, symbolizing the union of our two different worlds."
Ao Bing carefully placed the ring on his finger, discovering that it fit perfectly as if it had been custom-made. "I love it," Ao Bing said sincerely, his eyes sparkling with happiness. "It's special, just like our relationship—one of a kind."
Nezha also took out another identical ring from the box and slipped it onto his own hand. "From today onward, this is our official promise—no matter how the tides change or how time flows, we will be together for life."
Ao Bing nodded and softly said, "Together for life."
As night fell, Nezha and Ao Bing spread a picnic blanket on the beach and enjoyed the dinner that Ao Bing had prepared. The moonlight shimmered on the surface of the sea, creating a silver ribbon of light, while a distant lighthouse occasionally flashed, adding a touch of romance to the night’s seascape.
"Do you remember our first days living together?" Nezha suddenly asked, his eyes glimmering with nostalgia.
Ao Bing laughed. "How could I forget? You turned the dorm into a mess; I almost kicked you out."
Nezha chuckled as well. "Yeah, back then we were so mismatched—you pursued perfection while I was carefree. Who would have thought we would end up together?"
Ao Bing pondered for a moment. "Perhaps it's precisely because of our differences that we were drawn to each other. Your sunshine and vitality have made my life more colorful; my calmness and rationality provide you with a safe harbor."
Nezha nodded in agreement. "It's like yin and yang, complementing each other. But to be honest, sometimes I worry—will there come a day when you grow tired of my personality?"
Ao Bing looked surprised. "How could that be? After twenty years, I've never thought that way. On the contrary, as time goes by, I appreciate your energy and passion more and more."
Nezha sighed in relief. "I just occasionally feel insecure. After all, you are the Dragon Prince, bearing great responsibilities, while I'm just an ordinary Football Coach."
Ao Bing looked at Nezha earnestly. "You have never been 'ordinary' in any sense. You are the Child of the Demon Sphere, the Saving the World Hero, the best Football Coach, and most importantly, the person I love most. Without you, there would be no me today or the harmonious coexistence between the Dragon Tribe and humanity."
Nezha was deeply moved by Ao Bing's words, his eyes slightly misty. "Thank you, Ao Bing. Sometimes I forget these things and only see my shortcomings."
Ao Bing spoke gently, "That's why we need each other—when one person loses their way, the other helps them rediscover their value."
As night deepened and the sea breeze grew cooler, Nezha and Ao Bing packed up their picnic supplies and prepared to head home. Just then, a strange light suddenly appeared on the distant sea—a beautiful column of blue and gold intertwined shot straight into the sky.
"That is..." Nezha stood up alertly, instinctively entering a combat stance.
Ao Bing tensed up as well. "The sealing area of 'Yuan'!"
Without another thought, they rushed toward the shore, ready to dive into the water to reach the sealing location. However, just as they were about to enter the water, the light column suddenly vanished, and the sea returned to calmness as if the strange phenomenon had never occurred.
"What just happened?" Nezha asked in confusion while scanning their surroundings warily.
Ao Bing frowned. "I’m not sure. I've never seen such an occurrence in a sealing area."
