Back in the mortal realm, Mei Liling was staring blankly at the two girls in front of her. "You two..." Tears welling up into her eyes, Mei Liling wondered just how much she has cried over the past few days. She pulled the two girls into a hug not wanting to let go.
Seeing the two hugging and crying brought a smile to Ah Chun's lips as she said: "I will let you three catch up. I will go make sure their immortal caves are clean and dust free."
With Ning Shen, Qing'er, and Meimei in tow, Ah Chun went back to the mountain which she resided and went to work cleaning her sisters' rooms for them. They never had many worldly possessions so it was only a matter of wiping things down. Seeing Ah Chun cleaning happily Meimei said: "Young Miss, you seem happy."
"Mmm… Aunty will be coming tomorrow which will bring my whole family together again. During that time I wish to plan out when to hold my wedding with Shen'er. We have been together for so long and yet we have not gotten married once. I want to start a family and watch my kids grow before I leave this world next." Ah Chun explained.
"Young Miss, you mean you will be leaving at some point in the future?" Qing'er stopped cleaning to look over at Ah Chun and asked.
"I will have to. My goal does not reside here. I will be bringing Shen'er with me of course, but, in the long run, I will be leaving this world to expand my ability. My cultivation already exceeds this world's heavenly laws. Right now I am at the peak of this world due to the heavenly laws that govern this planet suppressing my true strength. One day you all may also break free from this world chains. But let me tell you this, the universe is vast and very dangerous. I would only suggest leaving this world when you are truly ready to see what lies beyond." Ah Chun knew her destiny was not on this world, she was only here to settle in for a few hundred years or so to start a family.
"I am okay with staying on this world. My goals were never to be strong anyway. I just wanted to follow Young Miss during your travels here. When you start a family I will then help take care of them and eventually strike out on my own to find the love of my life as well." Meimei said, her cheeks blushing slightly.
"I might venture out one day. I always liked striving for power. I mean it is what being a cultivator is about. Once I reach the peak of this world I will then break free from the shackles that hold us here under the heavenly laws and go forth to see what is to come. It may take me thousands of years but it will still be worth it." Qing'er's goals were different from Meimei's. She also wanted to be strong but she knew for her it was a slow process.
"No matter what you two decide to do, make sure it is what you truly wish. Do not let anything hold you back from completing your dreams. While I am around I will support you both as best I can." Ah Chun smiled at her two friends and twisted the rag in her hand over the bucket. "Done!"
"Chun'er what is your final goal?" Meimei asked as she walked over and hugged onto Ah Chun's tail.
"I am not sure. Master Chen has said I need to break through the boundaries of this universe and bring us all into the beyond. I am not completely sure what this all means. But the day when that happens will come sooner or later. I will first stand at the top of this universe and then wherever that leads me to, I will grow stronger and stronger until I stand above everything. I guess my final goal has never changed since I was young. I will stand at the peak as I have vowed to the heavens, I will make sure nothing can stop me. If I fall I will stand back up and continue until the day I achieve this goal." Thinking back to when she was young when she had made that vow to the heavens made Ah Chun's eyes soften.
She had been through many changes and many events. Some that tore her apart from her friends and family and some that brought them all back together again. What laid ahead she did not know but she knew one thing. In the future, she would meet that girl she saw battling an enemy many times stronger than her. She wondered if she would get along well with that girl or if they would fight. There was also another person who she was supposed to meet. She wondered when she would meet that person.

In a vast forest surrounded by fog in a certain part of the Mortal Realm, a bright flash of light could be seen coming from a cave within the forest. As the light dimmed a figure appeared lying on the ground. It was a female that looked to be around eighteen to twenty two years of age. She had crimson red hair that flowed to her waist and black horns protruding out of her head. A dragon tail protruded out of the area just about her butt with black scales that were tinged with red. A metallic cube floated in the air before turning into a stream of light and entering the spot between the girl's brows.
The day when two fates intertwined, was soon to come...
