Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 354 The Agreement

They walked and walked for almost fifteen minutes until they reached the end of the corridor. At the end of the corridor was another door, but this door was special. It was covered with beautiful patterns. The patterns did not seem to be carved on the door, but rather grew out from behind it. Each flower was so lifelike, as if gently swaying in the depths of the soul.

Several blue butterflies were perched on the flowers. As the two approached the door, the butterflies came to life, flew off the flowers, and fluttered around them.

Qin Xiaochuan was amazed and became increasingly curious about the world behind the door. He couldn't wait to open the door, but he found that the doorknob seemed to be welded shut, and no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't budge.

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi exchanged a glance and said with a wry smile, "It seems that the previous Blood Witch King did not want us to see the final outcome."

"That's such a pity," Guo Shiyi said with some regret. At this moment, butterflies were fluttering around her, and she couldn't help but reach out her hand. A butterfly then tactfully landed on her finger.

Just as the butterfly landed on her finger, a beam of white light suddenly shone through the door, enveloping the two of them. Guo Shiyi felt the world before her eyes turn into a white blur, and when she came to her senses, she found herself suspended in mid-air.

Guo Shiyi looked at the ground in disbelief, only to find that she could not see her feet at all. Her hands had also disappeared and turned into a pair of wings. At this moment, a huge butterfly flew in front of her and fluttered around her.

"Shiyi, Shiyi, is that you?" Qin Xiaochuan's voice came from the butterfly. Guo Shiyi then realized that she had turned into a butterfly and quickly replied, "It's me, it's me! How did we turn into butterflies?"

"I don't know." Qin Xiaochuan, now a butterfly, hovered in front of her and touched her antennae with his own. "Perhaps this spacetime node is a bit special. Once I came in as a butterfly, I can't interfere with the development of this world."

Guo Shiyi looked around at the world before her. Her gaze fell upon an endless grassland with slopes covered in colorful flowers. However, the place they were in might not actually be a grassland, because from their current perspective, the area they could see was actually quite limited; they might just be on a slope.

The weather was fine and sunny, and even though it was just a butterfly, the two of them felt a sense of ease and comfort.

"This grassland is so beautiful. Becoming a butterfly seems like a great experience." Guo Shiyi fluttered her wings and danced happily in front of Qin Xiaochuan.

"You have such a great attitude," Qin Xiaochuan joked. "Even after turning into a butterfly, you're still so happy."

"Why are you unhappy? We're not really turning into butterflies. This is called Zhuangzi's dream of becoming a butterfly, you know?" Guo Shiyi said proudly, and then flew down the slope, saying to Qin Xiaochuan as she flew, "Come and chase me."

"Wait for me!" Qin Xiaochuan hurriedly chased after her, afraid that if he was a step too late he would lose her, after all, there were more than just the two butterflies on this slope.

The two chased each other across the grass, stopping to rest on a red wildflower when they got tired, and then sizing each other up.

Guo Shiyi touched Qin Xiaochuan's antennae with her own and teased, "You look really strange right now."

"You look good no matter when you're at it," Qin Xiaochuan said with a grin.

"Hmph, all he does is talk a good game." Guo Shiyi said with disdain, but she couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

"There seem to be people over there." Qin Xiaochuan tried to raise his body and looked at the slope not far away. There were indeed two people sitting together, a man and a woman, with their backs to them. They should be a couple.

"Let's go take a look," Guo Shiyi said, flying up from the wildflowers, with Qin Xiaochuan following closely behind.

Soon the two butterflies flew to the two people and circled around to their faces. Only then did they realize that the woman was Han Keyun and the man had striking features and a dignified bearing. Although his face appeared expressionless, there was an undeniable tenderness in his eyes.

The man put his arm around Han Keyun's shoulder, and Han Keyun leaned gently against him. Neither of them spoke.

"Could this person be the previous Blood Witch King?" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but say.

"He's quite handsome," Guo Shiyi said with a grin.

Hearing her say this, Qin Xiaochuan felt a pang of sadness, but he couldn't show it. After all, he couldn't let her think he was jealous of his past self. So he could only stubbornly say, "Of course, after all, that was me in my past life."

Noticing that two butterflies were fluttering in front of her, Han Keyun extended her fair right hand to them. Guo Shiyi stopped on the back of her finger without hesitation, and Qin Xiaochuan stopped on her finger as well.

"Do you think we'll ever see each other again?" Han Keyun brought the two butterflies close to her eyes and examined them closely.

Xiao Yan glanced back at her, but didn't say a word. He just stared at the white clouds drifting quietly in the distance.

"When we first got together, I told you that I didn't expect it to last forever, but I would always think of you," Han Keyun said gently. Although her tone was gentle, there was an unwavering determination in her voice. Although her words were sad, her face showed a calm acceptance.

"You haven't forgotten me, have you?" Seeing Xiao Yan remain silent, Han Keyun tilted her head and looked at the cold man.

Xiao Yan met her gaze, his face still expressionless, but the tenderness in his eyes deepened.

"No." He slowly uttered two words without saying anything more, seemingly a bit perfunctory. But Han Keyun smiled gently because she knew the weight of those two words. The fewer the words, the heavier the weight. If he said no, he definitely meant no. He was just being too serious inside, which is why he appeared indifferent. He was never good at expressing his feelings.

And this is precisely one of the qualities she likes about him. Although he is very powerful, he seems clumsy in the face of her feelings. Although he is always so cold, he is still gentle for her. How could this contrast not fascinate her?

She pressed her face against his body again and withdrew her right hand to touch his heart. Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi, like two butterflies, had to fly back into the air.

"I really like you so much." She felt his heartbeat with her hand. Although he hardly showed any outward expression of his feelings, his heart would inexplicably race. This was a secret joy that belonged only to her.

Xiao Yan didn't show any obvious outward expression. He simply turned around and looked at her quietly without saying a word, but she felt an boundless tenderness surging towards her, silently enveloping her.

So she couldn't help but stroke his cheek, his face, then his ears and hair. Xiao Yan just watched her quietly, letting her do whatever she wanted, his expression remaining unchanged, like an old monk who had been meditating for many years.

"Kiss me," Han Keyun suddenly said to him, her eyes carrying a gentle command.

Xiao Yan seemed completely unable to refuse the order and obediently kissed her soft lips.

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi blushed deeply. Of course, if they had any shame, they originally just wanted to watch the drama unfold, but they didn't expect it to be so sweet.

Just as Xiao Yan and Han Keyun were kissing, Han Keyun suddenly bit Xiao Yan's lip, and bright red blood flowed from the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth. Xiao Yan looked at this mischievous woman in confusion.

Han Keyun smiled provocatively at him, wiped the blood from Xiao Yan's lips with her right index finger, and drew a pattern that looked a bit like a knot on her left palm with the blood. Then she took Xiao Yan's right hand and made them interlock their index fingers.

"To prevent you from forgetting me, I want to leave you a mark. If one day, when our hands clasp together and this love knot appears, you should know that I have come back to find you." Han Keyun gazed at him affectionately. Just as she finished speaking, a white light shone in their palms. When Han Keyun released Xiao Yan's hand, Xiao Yan saw a faint red love knot pattern on his palm as well, which then quickly disappeared.

Han Keyun held her hands, her face incredibly gentle, and said, "When you think of me, this love knot will light up, and then I'll know you're thinking of me. When I miss you, you'll know too." As she spoke, her eyes still involuntarily reddened.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only tenderly embrace her again.

"I'm sorry, I promised you I would be strong, but the thought of possibly never seeing you again makes me so sad," Han Keyun said sadly.

"I know, me too," Xiao Yan said softly.

Upon hearing this, Han Keyun was no longer sad. She simply nestled quietly in his arms, and the two of them gazed into the distance together. A gentle breeze swept across the grassland, creating ripples that stretched towards the horizon.

A white light suddenly flashed through Qin Xiaochuan's mind again. When he came to his senses, he and Guo Shiyi were back in front of the last door. After regaining their senses, the two of them stretched out their palms almost at the same time. When their hands clasped together, a white light shone in their palms, and the familiar red love knot reappeared in their palms.

The two glanced at the love knot, then looked up at each other, staring at each other for a long time without saying a word.
