The first ray of sunlight shone onto the bed in the early morning. Yu Lianshang looked at the woman in his embrace.

What should he say when he had only a few moments left to be with her? Should he tell the truth, or —

Would she accept it? Would she hate him?

His heart felt a little reluctant as he sighed. He had not slept the entire night, yet he had been constantly pondering on how to leave this place.

Mo Ningxue opened her eyes and met his gaze that was filled with pain. Why did he want to shoulder everything by herself? Now, they were husband and wife, so they should take responsibility together.

You're awake? He hadn't slept for the entire night, so his voice was a bit dry.

She nodded and ran her hand down his stomach to his waist, her lips on his chest, her voice thick and nasal. Husband, is there something wrong?

She raised her head and looked into his eyes with hopeful eyes, taking in the glint in his eyes.

Ning Xue, if, I'm going to leave for a long time, will you wait for me?

Mo Ningxue's nose stung, and her tears fell uncontrollably. I won't wait for you, I will immediately go out and get married. Her voice had a hint of childishness to it, and her tears ran down his chest.

She didn't want to follow his instructions, as that would only make her feel more suffocated. Thus, she only told him not to leave. She hugged him even more tightly and pressed her body against his. She wanted to be with him forever, never to separate.

The one who thought bitterly, the one who left, the one who suffered, was the one who was waiting.

He reached out to hug her, but he didn't know why she suddenly became so excited. Seeing her suddenly acting like a child left him speechless. "Alright, be good. Your husband knows that you will obediently wait for your husband."

His voice was seductive and persuasive.

Why did he think she would wait for him? How could he just leave like that? Mo Ningxue pushed her away, reached out his hand, and dressed himself. His voice was cold and tinged with anger. I won't wait for you.

With that, she turned and left, because she was afraid that she would be unable to hold back her tears. She couldn't help but feel her heart ache, and she couldn't help but feel reluctant.

As he watched her leave like this, his heart ached. Why was she suddenly so angry?

Did she know that he was hiding it from her?

Beside the river, Mo Ningxue was furiously using a stone to make the river float. She was angry, with that tone of his, that gaze, if she did not know about it now, she would have definitely said 'yea'.

He actually tricked her into waiting for her and hiding such a huge matter from her. He should be beaten, scolded, and angry.

Suddenly, someone hugged her by the waist, causing her to freeze. Her voice sounded somewhat reprimanded, "What are you doing?" Aren't we leaving?

His voice softened. My wife, how can she be angry at being a husband?

Mo Ningxue was forced to turn around and look at his apologetic face, a hundred thoughts running through her mind. That's right! Thinking of this, she reached out and hugged him.

Husband, if you suddenly leave, I will wait for you. What if I leave? There was a note of doubt in her voice.

I will wait for you, and I will live well, and I will wait for you. He promised her. He hoped that she would do as he said and live on.

Fine, it's a deal, let's swear it, okay? Mo Ningxue took his hand and swore to the sky as if nothing had happened. Today, I, Mo Ningxue, swear that if one day my husband Yu Lianshang suddenly leaves, I will wait for him, forever.

Yu Lianshang nodded, looking at her hopeful eyes, he also extended his finger. I, Yu Lianshang, swear to protect my wife, Mo Ningxue, forever and ever, if she were to leave one day, I will also wait for her return, forever and forever.

The two of them smiled at each other. They understood each other's hearts.

I've been waiting for you for seven lifetimes. Yu Lianshang's eyes revealed a hint of a smile, the meaning was obvious, can you do it?

I have said that I will wait for you for all of my life and for all of eternity, do you think that I will be able to do it? Mo Ningxue revealed an expression that said she was very powerful.

Neither of them wanted to reveal the pain of parting earlier, to hide it from each other, to bear the burden of each other.

Elder sister, master. Mo Chuyao shouted. Look over here, Grandpa Hong is hiding a wooden raft.

The two of them looked at each other, then walked towards Mo Chuyao's location. Sure enough, they didn't know when there was a raft hidden here. Just why had Old Monster Hong never mentioned it?

Come on, let's go play. Mo Ningxue pulled Mo Chuyao along, and let him paddle the wooden raft downstream.

The flow of the water was not too fast, but it gave off a feeling of enjoying the scenery. Rows of bamboo forests lined up on both sides, with the three people and the small bamboo raft in the middle. They continued to slide into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Elder sister, look. Mo Chuyao pointed to a cave on the other side of the river.

The few of them leaned the small raft against the shore. In order to prevent it from being washed away by the water, they even tied it up. Then the three of them walked towards the cave.

The cave seemed to be very narrow, and there seemed to be rocks blocking the way. This aroused the curiosity of the three of them. The three of them looked at each other, Mo Ningxue and Mo Chuyao activated their technique and moved the stone away. The stone cave seemed to have been sealed for over a thousand years, and the three of them followed the line up to enter through the small cave entrance.

After walking for about ten minutes, he saw a brightly lit inner room. A Night Pearl was embedded in the walls of the inner room. Inside the room, there was only a table, a chair, and a cold bed.

However, there was a woman lying on the bed.

The three of them looked at each other. A woman? Is this their house? When he looked at the woman, he found that she was very pretty. Her cheeks were rosy and she looked like she was sleeping, but there was no movement in her chest. This could only mean that she was dead.

Husband? Mo Ningxue felt very gloomy, she was slightly afraid. The moment the girl suddenly jumped, she would shiver even more when she thought of this.

However, could it be that this ice bed has the effect of preserving the corpse from rotting? Then this place is a tomb? However, who had sealed the entrance of the cave? Could it be …

Who let you in here!

The three of them guiltily turned around and respectfully called out, "Master."

Grandpa Hong.

Old Monster Hong's eyes were only fixed on the girl on the stone bed. Her complexion had not changed, just that she herself was old. He had originally thought that he would never step foot here in his entire life. Never would he have thought that he would see her again after a thousand years.

He walked shakily to the front of the bed of ice, his voice hoarse. His voice was not loud, but it carried a pressure that had never been there before.

Mo Ningxue and Mo Chuyao stuck out their tongues, then pulled Yu Lianshang and left.

You said, who is that woman to Master? Mo Ningxue asked in a gossipy tone. She really wanted to know, who was this person that Old Monster Hong cared so much about?

The man he loved. Yu Lianshang concluded his thoughts with a few simple words.

How do you know? Mo Ningxue rolled her eyes at him, maybe her daughter.

Yu Lianshang shook his head. His eyes were looking at the person he loved the most, not his daughter.

Mo Ningxue was silent. Okay, she pulled Mo Chuyao's hand and walked around, hubby, let's follow the small bamboo raft and look downstream.

You still want to find a grave? Yu Lianshang said with a smile that was not a smile.

Mo Ningxue glared at him in disdain, that's right, the next grave might be the handsome one. After she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue and pulled Mo Chuyao along to the small bamboo raft.

The three of them followed the stream downstream for a while before discovering that this was a bamboo forest with a quiet and secluded environment. It was truly a suitable place to live in seclusion.

Look. Mo Ningxue pointed at a little rabbit. She flew up, and when she landed on the little bamboo raft again, there was a little white rabbit in her arms.

Wow, big sis, this rabbit is so cute. Mo Chuyao couldn't help but touch it.

Yu Lianshang saw the two of them playing with the rabbit and was extremely happy. He shook his head and laughed.

Mo Ningxue placed the rabbit on the small bamboo raft and originally thought that it would jump in panic. However, it seemed that it would peacefully run over to Mo Ningxue's feet and snuggle under her feet.

Mo Ningxue suddenly really liked this sensible guy. The rest of the day was spent walking around the rabbit, making Yu Lianshang very jealous. She wanted nothing more than to eat the roasted rabbit in her arms.

But then he thought he would leave immediately and let her go. If he liked, he could accompany her.
