As Wan Qinxiu stare off into the night, he thought of a lot of things. Most importantly, he saw Mo Qingfeng walking back with two other figure in hat veil. They approaches Wan Qinxiu and Mo Qingyan’s table and went to sit with them. Wan Qinxiu in one side of the square table, Mo Qingyan in one side, Mo Qingfeng in one side, and in one side two the two veiled figure sharing a side. Mo Qingyan looks at the two veiled hats suspiciously and ask Mo Qingfeng, “Brother, who are they? Why are they with you?”
“Long story short, I went to reserve an inn for us and met Miss Wang and her servant so I brought them here with us,” Mo Qingfeng said innocently. He knew his sister will get mad but he didn’t care. He looks at Miss Wang’s direction and hand her some food he even pick a meat and put it in her bowl.
Mo Qingyan glare at the veiled figure and looks away feeling annoyed. She was no longer in the mood for food upon hearing the fact that Miss Wang have just joined them. Wan Qinxiu looks at her pouting expression and he gave her a piece of meat, “Miss Mo please do not get angry or else you will get wrinkles and won’t be cute anymore.” This lightens up Mo Qingyan’s mood she started eating happily ignoring Wang Xiaomi.
Then a white light appeared next to them and descended was Lan Shuixin and fourth prince Lan Hongxin. One in white and one in green robes like celestial beings with he fair face, skin, and body. On Lan Shuixin’s hand was a wooden rod that he uses for direction. This caught many people’s eyes. The human realized the gods have descended to eat at the run down restaurants. This caused a lot of commotion, thus, the tiny run down restaurants started getting customers all thanks to this batch of customers they got on this day. They will forever remember the grace of these people.
Lan Shuixin and Lan Hongxin approaches their table. Upon seeing Lan Shuixin, Wan Qinxiu rushes to him and led him to the table and have him sit next to him giving him a bowl and even picking meats out for him leaving fourth prince feeling lost. Mo Qingfeng happen to share the seat with the fourth prince upon feeling the weird atmosphere. Miss Wang and her servant was shocked upon seeing the arrival of the first and fourth prince. They wanted to leave, but now they can’t or else their cover will be discover.

“Brother Lan, why didn’t you tell me you’re going to be here? I would have gotten us a bigger table,” said Wan Qinxiu, “And that is…?” He looks at fourth prince.
“How are you? I am Fourth Prince Lan Hongxin we met but never talked,” Lan Hongxin had on an awkward expression.
“Ah, fourth prince!” Wan Qinxiu exclaims in embarrassment, “Please forgive my rudeness.” Then he introduces, “Brother Lan meet Miss Xue and her servant.” He pointed fingers at Miss Wang and her servant. Mo Qingfeng and Mo Qingyan was surprised they knew right away that Wan Qinxiu was hiding the fact that she is Wang Xiaomi from Lan Shuixin and Lan Hongxin. They did not say anything and just went with the flow. Mo Qingyan did not want to upset Wan Qinxiu. With this, Wan Qinxiu kept giving more food to Mo Qingyan and Lan Shuixin and make them eat while looking at Lan Shuixin’s handsome face. This caused quite a commotion and awkward situation around them. People looks for a while before resuming on the food and they finally realize how good the foods are in that run down restaurants. It is a crappy looking restaurants, but has good food and beautiful views but now a lot of people finally realize the haven of the restaurant and will continue to support that restaurant.
Lan Shuixin smiles and said, “Thank you for the kind hospitality Brother Wan… I am here to look for Ah Mi. She went missing leaving a letter behind and I am in charge of finding her to bring her back to the Heaven Realm. If you see her, please let me know. I do not want any kind of danger to go to her or else I may as well take the blame again.” He said coolly and calmly with a cool relaxing tone to the ear. Xiaomi clenches her fist as she heard this.
“Brother Lan, do not fret I haven’t seen Miss Wang. If I see her, I’d definitely protect her and bring her to safety,” Wan Qinxiu said reassuring, “Will you stay here for the greet and meet with all the five sects or are your in a hurry?” He asks for information.
Lan Shuixin show no expression and reply, “Perhaps I should stick around in case Ah Mi shows up. I will have to bother Brother Wan and Brother Mo for a place to stay.”

Mo Qingfeng laughs, “It’s on me Brother Lan!” He got excited and exclaims, “It has been a while since we all gather together. Let’s drink to our satisfaction its on the house!”
They made their way to Happiness Inn that Mo Qingfeng reserved. The inn was beautiful indeed as it is located on higher ground that had beautiful views that one can see the whole town. “Beautiful inn indeed,” Lan Hongxin complimented. Everyone seems to be drunk with the scenery outside the inn. Mt. Qingyun’s sect is now all present. Sect leader Mo Qingfan has retired early to rest first. Some disciples snuck out to have fun while some are still up training, chatting, practicing duel, drink, and enjoying the beautiful night.
Mo Qingyan and Miss Wang have to share a room per Mo Qingfeng’s instructions. Mo Qingyan have no other choice but to bring Xiaomi to the room reserved for her. Mo Qingfeng’s room was really big so he suggested to share the room with Wan Qinxiu, Lan Shuixin, Lan Hongxin, and Wang Xiaomi’s servant. “It’s not necessary ba,” said Wan Qinxiu, “Perhaps, I can sleep somewhere else. I understand the bed you have is big but… the five of us will be squished to death by suffocation.”
Mo Qingfeng shook, “Not a problem, the bed is big enough for the 5 of us do not worry Brother Wan we are all men.” He then took off his shirt and said, “Let’s continue drinking!” He exclaims. The fourth prince follow suit and take off his shirt as well and drink a bowl of wine as a toast to Mo Qingfeng. Miss Wang’s servant walks out the door, “I will sleep outside to guard my miss so count me out.”
After an hour of drinking, Mo Qingfeng and Lan Hongxin fell fast asleep and slept on the bed soundly asleep. Wan Qinxiu and Lan Shuixin was on the table in silence as they too drank but just not unconscious like Lan Hongxin and Mo Qingfeng. Wan Qinxiu walks out the door saying, “Don’t stay up too late. We have a whole day before us tomorrow,” he flew off to a nearby tree and make himself comfortable to sleep but he found someone already there. He look and saw Miss Wang’s servant in his veiled hat. “How could it be you?”
“I found this spot first,” said the servant being hostile to Wan Qinxiu.
“I sleep here you sleep there there are no laws stating this is your tree,” he ignore him and started snoring off into the night. The servant jumps down the tree and decided to take the ground instead since someone took his spot on the branch on the tree. ‘Stupid brat, always be sleeping on trees hope you fall and die.’
In the morning, there seems to be having a big commotion. Wan Qinxiu rubs his eyes and found everyone surround the trees in shock. She looks down from the tree and saw Lan Shuixin and Miss Wang’s servant leaning against each other sleeping back-to-back. He coughs and dismiss everyone, “Please disperse this is no scenery! Yesterday we drank a lot.” He defended and made the crowd dispersed. Miss Wang in her veiled hat and Mo Qingyan was left behind and both were chuckling in unison then stop and glared at each other.
Wan Qinxiu held both of their hands and exclaims, “Let’s go shopping you two must look the most beautiful at the feast today!” He took off with them leaving the others behind.
In the afternoon, Lan Shuixin, Lan Hongxin, and Mo Qingfeng woke up to find the ladies and Wan Qinxiu missing. They saw Miss Wang’s servant and Mo Qingfeng ask, “Where are they?” The servant did not answer him and shrugs his shoulder. He looks at the sky and found that its not early anymore he have to prepare for the night feast before his father give him a lesson. He needed to get ready and make preparation.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
