"How did you know I was thinking of killing him?" Mo Li laughed. Of course, this was only all inside his mind. He hated that man but wouldn't do anything against him.

"I can read your mind." Fang Yu beamed before she went back to her ingredients. Not long after, Fang Yu and Mo Li left the ice cave and went to the potioneering guild for the potions that Fang Yu created. Just like that, a year had already passed since the war began. Soon bodied piled up from both sides. Still, there were no signs of the war stopping. Because of this, Fang Yu is getting impatient. She couldn't really intervene and change what was supposed to happen. Moreover, she wouldn't dare venture outside of her safety zone because she wasn't really that powerful compared to some devils. Fang Yu had been staying in the cave, brewing potions every day. She had been saying behind the scenes supporting the humans while Mo Li would go out from time to time to fight against some devils and kill their team leader.

"I think something is wrong." Fang Yu said, she crossed her hands across her chests and stared at Mo Li.

"Hm?"

"The war is not stopping. If this continues, the forces of humanity would soon perish." The two sides were both resilient. Despite the death, the humans who didn't have any deals with the devils fought, kingdoms were fighting back as the sects were supporting them. Soldiers against devils, sect against sects. "If we don't — "

"Why do you care?" Mo Li's words interrupted her stupor. She stared at him intently.

"What do you mean?"

"The world… can burn. But that is none of your business, yes?" This was something that Mo Li never understood. He knew that Fang Yu wouldn't do something without any proper reasoning. "The future of humanity does not concern us. You and I can travel the universe together. Why do you need to help them?"

She stilled at his question. Why does she need to help humans? Aside from making sure that the female lead would meet the male lead? There was no other reason. Or at least that's what her brain thought. But, inside her, something — a voice had been telling her that she couldn't abandon humanity now. "I am human," she suddenly said. "I think that is enough reason to help my fellow humans." She uttered but even she wasn't convinced about the words that she just said.

Fang Yu turned her head away. "I think— we should end this war as fast as possible." She wasn't planning on spending the rest of her ten years in this place. She was planning to travel with Mo Li. However, with the current circ.u.mstances, that plan might not happen anytime soon. "We need to find out why the devils still had people even if we already killed the devils on the ghost dimension."

Mo Li snorted. "Can't we just stay here and watch everyone die?"

Her head snapped back at him. She opened her mouth wanting to say something. But no words came out. Part of her thinks that she should listen to Mo Li and just leave. After all, Ji Tian and the Sect Master were already safe. Even if this world burns, the male lead would survive. Then… he would meet the female lead hundreds of years later. However, another part of her was telling her to stop this kind of thinking.

A sharp sigh escaped her lips.

Seeing her face made Mo Li frowned. "Alright… since that is what you wanted then... You can send me to the devil dimension."

"I can't come?" she looked at him.

"No. You cant go to the devil and demons dimension right now. With your current cultivation… you will die once you enter our world."

"I can't go in until I enter the immortal realm?"

He nodded in response.

"What are you going to do to the devil dimension?"

"Kill everyone."

"…" she stared at his serious face. Seeing this, he laughed and continued.

"If the end of the war would make you happy, then I will give it to you. As a wedding gift."

"Is it dangerous?" she asked and seeing him shrugged in response immediately made her irritated. "Be honest."

"When a small person like you pouts like that… I can't help but laugh." He uttered.

"Stop it." Fang Yu walked towards Mo Li who was lying on the ice bed. "Is it going to be dangerous?" She sat on the edge of the bed and met his eyes.

"And if it is? Will you stop me?"

"Of course! You can't leave. If… if it will be dangerous then just stay here."

For some reason, her words only made him laugh. "If you wanted to end the war then… I must go."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-redemption_17733026705591705/immortal-realm_49794175356435622 for visiting.

"Why do you need to go to that world?"

"To make you happy." He lifted his hand and put a strand of her hair behind her ears. "We can't stay here forever, and I know you won't leave without making sure that humanity survives. How can I spend the rest of our honeymoon in a place like this?" he lifted an eyebrow and laughed.

"You— " Fang Yu gulped. "Is it going to be quick?"

"No. Probably not." He decided to tell her the truth. "A year or two. You just have to wait and… I will come back to you."

"You said that I can't enter these worlds without entering the immortal realm, right?" Fang Yu asked, again. And again, he nodded. "Do you think I can advance in two years?" she asked.

"Space magic… is very complicated." Mo Li uttered. "But if you work hard enough, yes, you can become a proper immortal in two years." He didn't miss the sadness that flashed in her eyes. "Two years is nothing for immortals like us." He added. "We can leave for thousands of years," he reminded her.

"Of course," she faked a smile. "I am just a little worried." Thousands of years? She only had ten years - nine years. Waiting for another two years meant she only had seven years to be with him.

"Your husband is powerful. I can end them… and they won't be able to disturb humans again. Then… we can now travel the world without you worrying about them." His smile turned gentle before he sighed. "Once you will reach the immortal realm, you needed to abandon your humanity and walk in the path of immortality. However, not many people would be able to do that. After all, being alive forever… is such a lonely thing. Just like the Sect master, he could easily advanced and become an immortal, but he is delaying it. This was because… his heart is still not at peace. He still cares for humanity, he cared for his friends, and he cared for you."

"So… advancing meant abandoning your humanity. It means not caring."

"Not necessarily. But you have to accept the fact that one day, you would lose everyone. They will grow old and die while you— you will forever stay like this. Alive… sometimes alone and lonely."

She pursed her lips. Immortality is something that most people wanted to have. Living forever sounds tempting. But how could living forever be that fun? She looked at his eyes and noticed the complex emotions in his orbs. "You are right."

"Of course, I am." He pulled her for a hug, holding her head close to his chest, making her listen to his heartbeat. A long stretch of silence followed. "Two years is nothing. Just wait for me to come back. But you have to promise me one thing. You must keep yourself safe."

She nodded in response. To her, two years sounded so long— too long. "Promise me that you will stay safe."

"Hmmm." She felt him nod. "I will come back and find you."

She just nodded. At first, Mo Li keep on saying that she couldn't leave him. That he would never leave her side. She wondered what made him changed his mind. Was it just because he wanted her to be happy? Why does it seem so hard to believe Mo Li?

The two spent the night just in each other's arms. Hugging and cuddling and talking until Mo Li told her that it was time. Then he gave her the proper coordinates to the Devil Dimension. With her eyes closed, Fang Yu opened a portal. "If you want to come back— "

"I have ways." It would make him a bit weaker, but who cares? He would have forever to spend with her anyway. He gave her a smile full of assurance. Two years was nothing to him. Once the devils die, Fang Yu would finally agree to leave this damn world. Without this burden, she would be able to advance, and then they could travel together… forever.

Fang Yu smiled at him before she sn.a.k.e.d her arms around his neck. In response, he lifted her up and aligned his lips into hers. Without saying anything, Mo Li pressed his lips against hers. "I love you." He uttered in between the kiss.

But… he never heard her utter a word of reply.
