"Kiddo, I like your response. But that''s where I came in. I have an alternative way to pay with your life, but without actually killing yourself." Shivarjuana said, chuckling.


    Joeyy Chun Churan gently on the bed.


    Then he kowtowed to the ground and said courteously, "Master, I can''t thank you enough for giving me another life. I''ll repay it one day."


    "Well, put the tear crystal inside the lotus seal on your forehead!" Shivarjuna instructed.


    Joey activated the lotus tattoo on his forehead.


    The lotus tattoo on his forehead began rotating rapidly, and Joey put the tiny white crystal in the center of his lotus seal.


    Shivarjuna further added, instructing. "Alright, now, seal all of your energy inside the lotus seal. And promise me you will use none of the knowledge you have learned until now. You are forbidden to use any technique you have learned until today. To a cultivator like you, abstaining from using any of your techniques is like killing you. So, as your master, I, Shivarjuna, killed you by abstaining from using any technique you''ve learned until today."


    Then Joey made a series of hand seals and he forcefully extorted all forms of energy inside his body and ced them inside his lotus seal. And after that, he made a divine oath in the name of his master and he finally paid his debt.


    By that time, Chun Churan''s body started convulsing on the bed while grinding her teeth.


    Joey quickly tended to her, clenching her hand, and asked anxiously, "Master, what is wrong with Ran Er? Can I help her in any way?"


    "Um–nothing much. You don''t need to worry. Since tear reced the fetus, as a bonus she would gain all the memories of her alternate timeline mostly how Ran Er gave birth to Xueling and also how she raised her until thest moment she paid her body as a price to send Xueling in this relevant timeline usingst skill you left to her." Shivarjuna told him and then he added, "Just wait!"


    Soon, Chun Churan remained calm as she started experiencing a new life in his reality from the very beginning, which was almost the same as his current timeline but something changed after she got pregnant and the dream continued. She gave birth to a beautiful girl and the dream continued until Joey died suddenly and left behind a bangle containing thest of his timew he hasprehended until now.


    Unable to bear a life without Joey, Chun Churan made a hard decision and came to this relevant time in the past fifteen years ago and left Xueying in the cave as she realized that her body was deteriorating after the time jump. Two dayster, she died as her body turned into ashes.


    Just after that, Chun Churan opened her teary eyes and the first thing that came out of her mouth was, "Xue Er, where is my Xue Er?" Then she sat up abruptly, tightened her hands holding his, and demanded like a mad woman, "Joey, I like to see her. Please-please-please, can you bring me to her? I don''t ask for more. Just let me see her face once."


    Joey took a deep breath of heavy sigh and said, "Okay," Then he knelt along with her on the ground and requested, "Master, please grant us this wish of ours."


    Shivarjuna remained silent.


    "What a stone-hearted man you are, Shivarjuana?... If you don''t grant them this wish, then we sisters will dly do the honor to bring them using our power to the Kunlun Mountain Realm." Jin Er, the yful Phoenix said her words in a calm, regal tone.


    "Hmm," Shivarjuna''s voice came through the void. "Fine! I''ll open a portal for you to see her. But you are not ready to meet her yet. Otherwise, Xue Er will pay a heavy price if you meet her now."


    In the next instant, a gentle but regal and highly positive voice chimed in the surroundings as Shivarjuna began chanting mnemonics in Archaic Sanskrit, and soon a giganticrge screen appeared in the air inside the room. On the screen, a scene of a little girl with a beautiful lotus tattoo on her forehead leaned her back on the foot of a goliath Banyan tree. She wore a beautiful Daoist Robe silk. Her face looked somewhat simr to that of both Joey and Chun Churan. Her hair was tied with long green ribbon and a beautiful ornate bamboo flute was in her hands.


    "Ah, my Xue Er! She has grown up into? a beautiful girl." Chun Churan said, beaming from ear to ear while she hugged Joey.


    Suddenly, Shivarjuana appeared next to the little girl and asked, "Xue Er, your ma and pa are watching you. Can you y a beautiful note for them?"


    "Ah, really!" The little girl joyously jumped up to her feet and looked around. "Where-where-where? Where are they?"


    Shivarjuna patted her head and said softly and lovingly, "Actually, they are not here. But they can see and hear you."


    Xue Er became a bit gloomy and said, "Mama and papa, I miss you both." Then she made a proper kowtow and sat on the ground just beside the Banyan tree, lifted the bamboo flute, and started ying it.


    And soon, many flying beasts flocked toward the source of the mellifluous music and started dancing in the air while flying around the Banyan Tree.


    It continued and ended five minutester and she said, "I hope that mama and papa like Xue Er''s song. Next time when youe here to see me, I''ll y even better songs for you."


    "Xue Er, you can say yourst words," Shivarjuna said.


    "Um…..er….um, what should I say? Um, I love you both, and Xue Er missed you a lot. Bye!" Xueying said with a charming smile on her face as she wiggled her hands in the air randomly.


    Shivarjuna waved his hand and the screen on the other side disintegrated into multiple specks of Origin Qi, diffusing into the thin air..... (please, stay tuned!)
