"Wujia Brothers each took turns advising, and Yang Guo was healed. No longer entangled in his origins, his hatred for Guo Jing and Huang Rong vanished, and he gave up on revenge."
“Guo'er, what will happen to the poison in you if you don't kill Guo Jing and Huang Rong?” Dragon Girl truly lacked understanding of human affairs; she actually suggested killing Master's parents in front of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's daughter without fearing a confrontation. Fortunately, Guo Fu and the others knew her character and were not angered by her words.
“Brother Yang, are you poisoned? Let me take a look.”
Yang Guo recalled that Wu Dunru had studied medicine. Although he had little hope that he could treat the Love Flower Poison, he still extended his hand for Wu Dunru to check his pulse, accepting his goodwill.
The few time travelers already knew that Yang Guo was afflicted by the Love Flower Poison. After some pretense, Wu Dunru spoke: “Brother Yang, I observe your pulse, and it seems you are poisoned by the strange flower's love poison, but...?”
Yang Guo and Dragon Girl's eyes lit up at these words. Dragon Girl, even more excited, jumped directly in front of Wu Dunru: “Can you help Guo'er detoxify?”
Wu Dunru quickly stepped back; the beautiful woman rushing towards him with a pleading expression was too much for him to handle, especially with his family (Lu Wushuang) present!
“I do not have the raw materials for detoxification in hand, so I cannot help Brother Yang.” Seeing the disappointment on Yang Guo's face, Wu Dunru quickly added a caveat, “However, there must be something that counters the Venomous Snake poisonous plants nearby. Brother Yang, is there any Deadly Nightshade near where you encountered the love flower?”
Yang Guo replied: “There is indeed a kind of weed near the love flower, but I don't know if it's Deadly Nightshade.”
“It should be. The matter of love is most heartbreaking; only Deadly Nightshade can cure the Love Flower Poison. Brother Yang, after my teacher's wife gives birth, we will accompany you to Jueqing Valley to gather some Deadly Nightshade for detoxification.”
“That's great! Guo'er, that's wonderful!” Dragon Girl rarely showed such joy.
At first, Yang Guo was delighted but then looked worriedly at Dragon Girl, asking Wu Dunru: “Big Brother Wu, besides being afflicted by the Central Flower Poison, has Long'er been poisoned by anything else? Can you resolve it?”
Wu Dunru pretended again: “I have seen in ancient texts that around where love flowers grow, there is a fish called the Cold Pool White Fish, which can cure all poisons. We can look around near Jueqing Valley. Perhaps we can find this fish.”
“That's fantastic!” Both Yang Guo and Dragon Girl felt relieved, nearly overwhelmed with joy. Ignoring others and propriety, they embraced tightly. The four time travelers smiled at them, glad that these two lovers did not have to endure sixteen years of separation.
A few days later, after safely giving birth to Guo Polu and Guo Xiang, several young people waited until her health improved before heading to Jueqing Valley. They did not meet with Qiu Qianchi, but secretly snuck into the valley to steal some Deadly Nightshade. After helping Yang Guo detoxify, they searched for the Cold Pool White Fish. With hints from the four time travelers, Yang Guo finally found the fish and helped detoxify Dragon Girl.
Just as they were about to leave Jueqing Valley, they suddenly noticed thick smoke and flames rising from within the valley. Curious, they went to investigate and discovered that it was set ablaze by Gongsun Zhi and Li Mochou. Indeed, Gongsun Zhi colluded with Li Mochou to seize back control of Jueqing Valley. As Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying sought revenge against Li Mochou, the brothers naturally wanted to help them—having crossed over before the incident at Lu Family Village, they had saved the life of Wu Sanniang. How could Li Mochou stand against four people? She fell into the depths of love flowers and succumbed to the effects of the poison, ultimately perishing in the flames. Just like in the original story, both Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi met their end together. Fortunately, this girl, Gongsun Lv'e, was saved by a move from Guo Fu, allowing her to survive. She inherited control of the valley and decided to close it off for a hundred years, no longer interfering in worldly affairs.
Now, all were paired off: Yang Guo with Dragon Girl, Wu Dunru with Lu Wushuang, and Wu Xiuwen with Cheng Ying. Even Ye Luyin had found an interest in Lu Guanying's son. Guo Jing and Huang Rong often sighed; other people's children had partners while their own daughter showed no signs of enlightenment. Recently arrived Ye Luyi was quite outstanding; why didn't their daughter take a liking to him? While caring for her two children, Huang Rong began investigating young talents in the martial world, vowing to find an excellent son-in-law for her daughter. Unable to bear her mother's meddling any longer, Guo Fu straightforwardly told Huang Rong that she would never marry in her lifetime."
"I'm not getting married? Then what do you want to do? Become a Taoist?" Huang Rong exclaimed in surprise.
"Rong'er, Taoists can also get married," Guo Jing replied. Due to his relationship with the Quanzhen Sect, he had some knowledge of Taoism and understood the distinction between those who renounce worldly life and those who do not. The latter are known as lay practitioners. Before the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, there were no mandatory celibate Taoists; all were lay practitioners. After the establishment of the Quanzhen Sect, rules regarding celibacy were set. Taoists are divided into two major sects: Quanzhen and Zhengyi. Quanzhen Taoists are celibate, vegetarian, and live in temples. Male practitioners are called Taoists, while female practitioners are called Taoist nuns; both have long hair styled in a bun on top of their heads and may wear crowns, with male Taoists sporting beards. Zhengyi Taoists can marry and eat meat. Most are lay practitioners, also known as fire-residing Taoists, while a small number are celibate. Among the lay Zhengyi Taoists, some operate within temples, while others do not have temples and live as wandering Taoists. Those without temples typically wear ordinary clothing and live at home. Zhengyi Taoists are mostly male, do not have long hair or beards, and their hairstyles resemble those of ordinary people. When they are not in their robes, they do not appear to be Taoists.
Huang Rong shot a reproachful glance at her husband before turning to her daughter: "Do you want to become a nun?"
Guo Fu thought for a moment and decided to tell her parents, who had always cherished her: "I want to cultivate immortality."
Huang Rong reached out to touch her daughter's forehead; she wasn't running a fever: "Fu'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense." Guo Fu pulled Huang Rong's hand away. "What I want now is something unimaginable, and I hope you can accept it after hearing it."
Seeing their daughter so serious was rare; Huang Rong and Guo Jing exchanged glances and composed themselves. "No matter what it is, we can accept it."
"Dad, Mom, I was born with memories from my past life." Guo Fu dropped a bombshell that left Huang Rong and Guo Jing stunned for quite a while before they could react.
"What does having memories from a past life matter? In this life, you are our daughter," Guo Jing said solemnly.
"Yes, silly girl, even if you didn't drink Meng Po's soup when you were reincarnated, you are already our daughter now. Don't dwell on your past life," Huang Rong said as she pulled Guo Fu into her embrace just like when she was younger, patting her back.
"Mom, Dad!" Guo Fu's eyes turned red as she snuggled against Huang Rong before breaking free. "What I want now is related to my past life."
"The world I lived in during my past life was one filled with immortals, demons, and magic..."
"You mean the world you lived in is different from ours? Are there other worlds beyond ours?" Guo Jing asked in confusion.
"Jing Gege, Buddhism speaks of Three Thousand Worlds; Fu'er must be from one of those worlds!"
Guo Fu nodded: "My name in my past life was Feng Qingxue; I was a spirit girl serving Nuwa in the Underworld."
"Underworld? Is it Ghost City Underworld?" Huang Rong asked.
"No, the Underworld is Nuwa's domain. Emperor Fuxi governs the realms; Nuwa oversees the Underworld; Demon Lord Chonglou rules over the Demon Realm; humans, demons, and immortals coexist in this world," Guo Fu explained. "My brother Feng Guangmo and I were raised by Granny Peng. My brother became one of the Ten Witches of the Nuwa Palace through his talent and hard work when he was young. Later, due to matters concerning Burning Silence sealing his sword, my brother was sent to the human realm's Wumeng Spirit Valley and never returned. After I grew up, I was commanded by Nuwa to search for my brother's whereabouts and met people like Baili Tusu..."
“……Tusu and Shaogong are half of each other, their souls come from Prince Changqin of the Music Realm Zhang Qin. The prince Zhang Qin met Azure Wind Serpent Kanyu and became friends while playing music at Yao Mountain. After Kanyu transformed into a Yinglong, he fled to Buzhou Mountain due to a transgression. The emperor sent Gonggong, Zhurong, and Prince Zhang Qin to capture him. Upon recognizing his old friend, Zhang Qin made a mistake in his astonishment, causing the pillar to collapse. The emperor demoted Zhang Qin to a mortal, forbidding him from becoming an immortal for eternity, and he would have no romantic ties in any lifetime, destined to be alone. During his reincarnation, Zhang Qin's soul lingered at Yaoshan, where it was captured by the craftsman Jiao Li of the Dragon Abyss Clan, who used the Jade Balance to trap his four souls in a blood-soaked formation, forging one of the seven deadly swords known as Burning Silence……”
“……Originally in this life, the fates of Shaogong and Su Su were to have their souls scattered and dissipate into the earth. I did not want them to meet such an end, so I sought out Demon Lord Zhong Lou, allowing Shaogong and Su Su to turn to darkness, resolving their soul issues…… Naturally, the emperor was displeased with this outcome; unable to deal with Shaogong and Su Su, he vented his anger on me, unleashing a thunderous calamity that shattered my soul. Fortunately, at the last moment, a black hole appeared in time and space, pulling my soul away from that world……”
“My poor child!” Huang Rong lamented, filled with indignation, “That emperor is too much; how could he do this to our daughter!”
Guo Jing asked with concern, “Fu'er, is your soul alright now?”
Guo Fu felt warmth in her heart: “I’m fine; see, I’m doing well now!”
Huang Rong asked, “Fu'er, are you an immortal now?”
Guo Fu shook her head: “I’m not an immortal yet; I can only be considered a cultivator. Mom and Dad, do you want to fly up and take a look? I can take you.”
“Sure!” Huang Rong replied excitedly, even Guo Jing, usually so composed, showed interest. Flying! How wonderful that would be!
Guo Fu summoned her flying sword and enlarged it: “Dad, Mom, let’s go for a ride!”
