The story concluded with Light Water succeeding Bai Zihua as another immortal of Eternal Immortal Mountain, accepting the position of the sect leader of Eternal Stay and residing in Heartless Palace. During the ceremony for the sect leader, Meng Xuanlang gazed at Light Water, who floated above like a celestial being, feeling an immense emptiness in his heart. Later, he came to realize that Light Water was the woman with whom he shared a fateful connection across three lifetimes, while Flower Thousand Bones was an anomaly that disrupted their destinies and severed his bond with Light Water. Unfortunately, now that he wished to rekindle their connection, it was too late. Light Water had not only cut off their ties in this lifetime but had also severed any future connections they might have had. Meng Xuanlang regretted his actions, but what use was regret? He was the one who had forsaken their three lifetimes of fate first.
Light Water guarded Eternal Stay and the mortal realm for a thousand years before passing this burden to her successor and ascending to a higher realm, becoming a legendary figure.
...
Hanno reviewed the outline from beginning to end, finding no significant flaws before saving it and returning to the Great Zhou with his computer.
"Madam." The servants saw Hanno emerge from Elder Brother Li's room and quickly bowed. They had grown accustomed to Hanno's mysterious comings and goings, even secretly regarding him as a deity. After all, how else could he produce so many unique and exquisite items? As for why he was considered a deity rather than a spirit or ghost, it was because the capital and all of Great Zhou were under divine protection. Not long ago, Miracle had manifested twice in the capital! If their lady were truly a spirit or ghost, how could she live in a city blessed by the gods?
Hanno smiled and nodded at the servants, his demeanor warm.
"Is dinner and bathwater ready? The general should be back soon."
The servant reported, "It is already prepared."
Just then, Elder Brother Li entered through the main gate. Upon seeing Hanno, a smile broke through his serious expression. "You're back so early today?"
Hanno walked over and took Elder Brother Li's hand. "I went to see Chang Miao and her son. After that, I worked on a new outline; there wasn't much else to do, so I returned early."
"Are you starting a new piece again?"
"Yes, it's what Chang Miao requested as a reward for giving birth—I'll write something she specified."
Elder Brother Li asked, "How is Shen Chuiyang's son?"
"Very good. Very healthy," Hanno said, "I took some photos, and I'll show them to you later."
"Okay."
Next came the grooming and dinner, after which they returned to their room for some quality time together. Hanno took out his phone and opened the pictures of the baby to show Elder Brother Li. One of the photos featured Shen Chuiyang holding his son, a broad smile on his face, radiating the joy of a proud father. Elder Brother Li looked at it with great satisfaction and sighed, "We used to talk about our future lives back in the army. For Shen Chuiyang, having a wife and son to warm the bed is enough. Now all his wishes have come true."
Hanno smiled, "What about you? Have your wishes come true?"
Elder Brother Li also smiled, "Mine have long been fulfilled."
Hanno's smile was bright, but he didn't mention that there were two little tadpoles swimming inside him.
Elder Brother Li said, "Once Zhou Le and Li Yishu arrive, we'll hold the wedding."
Hanno lamented, "It's a pity my parents can't attend the wedding."
Elder Brother Li replied, "When I can return to modern times, we'll hold another ceremony and let your parents sit in the main seats while I bow to them."
"Bowing? If you really do that, my parents might be scared out of their wits," Hanno laughed. "The modern wedding will be Western-style; I want to wear a wedding dress."
"Sure," Elder Brother Li replied good-naturedly.
Hanno opened his computer and pulled up the outline he had written, showing it to Elder Brother Li. "Make sure to remember this outline; who knows when we might find ourselves in the world of 'Flower Thousand Bones'."
Elder Brother Li hummed and sat down in front of the computer, looking at the screen. "Flower Thousand Bones? That name sounds somewhat familiar."
Hanno sat beside him. "It's a story with Mali Su as the female lead, and it was later adapted into a television drama. You probably remember it because I once complained to you about the characters in it."
Elder Brother Li thought for a moment and nodded. "I haven't watched the original drama; I only glanced at your outline and found some parts hard to understand."
Hanno swiped down with one hand. "No worries, I packed both the original and the TV series for you. You can download them to your phone later and watch when you have time."
"Why not just watch it on the computer? Why go through the trouble?"
Hanno chuckled lightly. "Because I don't want to watch Flower Thousand Bones again, not even to hear its sound."
Elder Brother Li was surprised. "It's rare for you to dislike a TV drama so much! Why did you even write about it?"
"Isn't it because Chang Miao asked me to? Do you think I wanted to? I didn't like any of the characters except for that so-called villainess. The female lead is unbearable; Mali Su is too much, and the male lead appears selfless but is actually very selfish, always favoring the female lead. Honestly, if he hadn't been so biased towards her and had listened to his senior brother earlier, they could have resolved things without all that trouble later on. Among the supporting characters, Light Water likes me but I don't like him; Sugar Bug was somewhat cute but became less so after turning human; Luo Shiyi actually likes a bug—what a strange taste! The Confucian Master was decent; I originally liked him, but in the show, he turned into Bai Zihua's lackey, which made him unlikable. Then there's Shuofeng, who likes Niman but acts as if he favors Flower Thousand Bones instead, making it hard to see his feelings for Niman. It seems like he only cares about Flower Thousand Bones since he died for her in the end..." Hanno had accumulated too much dissatisfaction and couldn't stop venting; Elder Brother Li felt a headache coming on and lost interest in both the drama and the original text.
"I won't watch the TV drama anyway; since you're here, you'll help me solve any problems that come up."
Hanno shot Elder Brother Li a glare but didn't insist that he watch the drama.
Elder Brother Li quickly skimmed through the outline and asked, "Is there no male lead?"
Hanno replied, "I'm not sure if we'll still be in supporting roles or extras; I don't want to arrange anything for the main character."
Elder Brother Li nodded. "If you weren't transmigrated as the main character but were instead a supporting character, would you ruin the plot?"
Hanno nodded vigorously. "Absolutely, even if it disrupts my storyline. I really can't bring myself to like those people; it's better to learn from Light Water and keep my distance from them."
Hanno was determined to follow through, for this time she had crossed over into the role of Niman, the greatest antagonist in Flower Thousand Bones, a vicious female character hated by everyone. Upon realizing her identity, the infant Hanno raised her chubby middle finger defiantly. This time, Hanno had experienced a prenatal crossing; she had arrived while still in Suri's womb. It is said that being a fetus is the best time for cultivation, as the innate true energy within can help one build a solid foundation perfectly. Hanno wasn't sure if this was true, but feeling bored inside the womb, she began cultivating according to the Eternal Life Secret and the foundational cultivation methods of Pure Yuan Great Land. It turned out that the theory about fetal cultivation being optimal was correct; at this stage, not only did the fetus possess innate energy, but all meridians were also unobstructed, eliminating the need to clear them with Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy in the world of Flower Thousand Bones was abundant, two or three times more than that of Pure Yuan Great Land, allowing Hanno to absorb it freely and achieve Foundation Establishment upon birth. However, due to the different cultivation systems in both worlds, Neon Sky and Suri could not perceive Hanno's true power; they merely thought their daughter possessed an immortal bone and body, feeling immensely proud and happy. Yet they feared that Hanno's extraordinary talent might attract jealousy from others and bring her danger, so they concealed her "immortal bone."
Neon Sky and Suri were very loving parents who fulfilled every request of their daughter, which had led the original Niman to develop a spoiled and willful personality. However, now that Hanno was Niman, she would not be willful or spoiled; instead, she was diplomatic and treated ordinary disciples of Penglai equally, earning her the affection of everyone in Penglai. The only trait she shared with Niman was pride—an inherent pride that ran deep in her bones. As the beloved daughter of Penglai's leader, born noble with outstanding talent, why shouldn't she be proud?
When Hanno turned five, Neon Sky and Suri began teaching her Penglai's immortal techniques. Hanno learned quickly, making Neon Sky and Suri even happier and more dedicated in their teaching. By the age of fifteen, she had mastered all of Penglai's immortal techniques and surpassed both Neon Sky and Suri in strength, performing just slightly below the Five Great Immortals. In reality, Hanno's power and cultivation had already exceeded that of the Five Great Immortals. She had established her foundation at birth and formed her core at six; now at fifteen, she was already a Nascent Soul expert—thanks largely to the abundant Spiritual Energy in this world.
Hanno realized that in this world, the Five Great Immortals were equivalent to experts at the Nascent Soul Stage, while those who ascended to the immortal realm and so-called demon gods should be at the Transcendence Stage. To avoid being defeated by Flower Thousand Bones, she needed to work hard to reach that level. Alas, the road ahead was long and arduous; perhaps it would be better to hang on a branch in the southeast.
In this world, Elder Brother Li had crossed over into a demon god and had been sealed away for decades. He finally broke free from his seal by borrowing Flower Thousand Bones' power to help Bai Zihua dispel poison.
"You really have crossed over as Southern Crescent Moon; it was worth giving Floating Pearl to Flower Thousand Bones so she could release you sooner," Hanno said as she embraced Elder Brother Li, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. After more than ten years of searching without success had left her anxious; if it weren't for her clear mind, she might have succumbed to inner demons.
Elder Brother Li gently stroked Hanno's head. "I'm sorry for making you wait so long."
Not long after their reunion, Elder Brother Li and Hanno married. Over a decade passed during which both cultivated to the peak of Transformation Stage; Neon Sky and Suri also ascended together as immortals. The strength of all Penglai disciples nearly doubled compared to before. The entire Penglai sect became formidable enough to instill fear in all other sects, subtly replacing Eternal Stay's esteemed position.
Their immense power deterred anyone from provoking Penglai; only Flower Thousand Bones dared approach them seeking Floating Pearl. Hanno had long suspected Elder Brother Li had become a demon god and proactively handed Floating Pearl over to Flower Thousand Bones, who mistakenly believed Hanno was benevolent. Afterward, no one dared target Penglai again; even when Flower Thousand Bones transformed into a demon god, Hanno and Elder Brother Li's strength easily overwhelmed her and drove her away.
Hanno did not interfere with the plot; the outcomes for Flower Thousand Bones and Bai Zihua remained unchanged along with many other events. Only Light Water inherited Eternal Stay's leadership position as the youngest immortal, striking fear into everyone—including Meng Xuanlang.
