The valley where Li Guanqi is now is very empty. Looking around, the range of this screen display is thousands of miles in radius.

"This is a broken little world, an alien space."

Han Mengyao snuggled into Li Guanqi's arms and said softly: "There is no sun or sky in this place. At first we could only use psychic equipment for lighting. Later, as technology developed, this simulated sky screen gradually covered the entire place.

Small world.”

"I really missed a lot."

Li Guanqi sighed softly, "I have many things to ask you."

"I also have a lot of things I want to say to you, but now..."

Han Mengyao suddenly stood up, took Li Guanqi's hand, and looked at him seriously, "I'm going to take you to a place first. You have to be mentally prepared, okay?"

"I know everything."

Li Guanqi's eyes darkened, "Take me there."

"……Um."

Han Mengyao didn't say anything more, she just held his hand and left the "soft bed" formed by the breeze.

The two of them just held hands and walked among the golden sea of ​​flowers. From time to time, a breeze would blow by, lifting the petals and flying into the sky.

Needless to say, Li Guanqi's cultivation level goes without saying.

Although Han Mengyao's cultivation is limited by the issues of the times, it is already at the peak of the Four Elephants level and is only one step away from the Five Elements level of martial arts.

But even so, this pair of powerful practitioners and this pair of lovers who reunited after a long separation still walked slowly, as if they were enjoying the long-lost time together.

How long has it been since Li Guanqi saw Han Mengyao?

Not long actually.

Even if it's a weird world plus a simulated world, it won't be long.

But……

It’s been a hundred years.

For Han Mengyao, it had been a hundred years since she had seen him.

The time missed has been too long.

"Meng Yao."

In the sea of ​​flowers, Li Guanqi lowered his head, looked at his and Han Mengyao's intertwined left hands, and said softly: "To be honest, I never thought that I could meet a woman who is willing to wait for me for a hundred years. I never thought that

, I always thought that someone could wait for me for a hundred years... This is a plot that only exists in movies and fairy tales."

"Waiting for a hundred years?"

Han Mengyao gently shook her right hand, tilted her head, and smiled softly, "I don't know, just wait day by day, and occasionally count the days, you will find, ah, it has been several years, and if you wait day by day, then you will

Occasionally I do the math, ah, it’s been decades, and then...ha."

She smiled and looked at Li Guanqi, "And then, you will come back. One year? Ten years? A hundred years? It doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is... you finally came back."

Han Mengyao's eyes seemed to be full of tenderness.

"I owe you so much."

Li Guanqi used a little force with his left hand to grasp her tender little hand tightly.

"It doesn't matter."

Han Mengyao just chuckled, "It'll be good if you come back."

"But I don't know next time..."

Li Guanqi's eyes were complicated, "I don't know how long I will be away next time, no one knows."

"I don't care."

Han Mengyao looked forward with a gentle smile, "I can wait for you for a hundred years, and I can wait for you for another thousand or ten thousand years. As long as I am still alive, I will wait until the day you come back."

"..."

Li Guanqi looked at her beautiful profile and moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Meng Yao?"

"Um?"

"If, I mean if, if I tell you, suppose I don't come back for many years next time, then you stop waiting for me, what will you do?"

"I will beat you to death, you stinky man and a heartless bastard. I have been waiting for you for so many years, and now you say such stupid things to me!"

"..."

"You must not say such stupid things, you know?"

"Yeah, I got it."

"That's pretty much it."

"..."

"Meng Yao?"

"What else are you going to say?"

"To meet you, I must have saved the galaxy, no, the entire universe in my previous life."

"hey-hey!"

The two walked, chatted, and laughed all the way in the sea of ​​golden flowers, interlocking their fingers and cuddling with each other.

Until the end.

They walked out of the sea of ​​flowers and came to a hillside covered with birch trees.

At the top of the hillside is a black tombstone.

After approaching here, Han Mengyao never smiled again, and from time to time, she would carefully observe Li Guanqi's expression secretly.

"I'm fine."

Li Guanqi patted the back of her hand gently, "Twelve days, I learned about this result 12 days ago, how should I put it... I, I am mentally prepared, some... Well, give me some alone space.

."

"Um."

Han Mengyao nodded lightly, let go of his hand, took two steps back, and stood under a birch tree, looking forward to him.

Li Guanqi, on the other hand, took a step forward and came to the tombstone.

Inscription:

The tombs of father-in-law Li Yangqiu and mother-in-law Wang Lingbai.

This is the monument that Han Mengyao erected for them in the name of his daughter-in-law.

There is also a photo of the two elders on it.

Next to it are a series of inscriptions in slightly smaller fonts, from which the life stories of the two elders can be clearly understood.

They were of the same age, the same age, and in the end... they both died in the extraordinary 42 years at the age of 92. The date of their death was only three days apart.

Birds of a feather.

They came to this world in the same year and left this world in the same year.

"Dad...Mom..."

Facing the tomb of his parents, Li Guanqi knelt down directly on his knees, gently touching the photo on the tombstone with his right hand, his eyes red, "My son is back...it's just that he came back a little late, right?"

"Bang!"

Just when tears were about to burst out of his eyes, Li Guanqi suddenly lowered his head, knelt in front of the grave, and kowtowed heavily.

Bow down nine times in succession.

Until the last time, Li Guanqi couldn't kneel down and his shoulders were shaking slightly. Not long after, a suppressed and choked cry could be heard in the woods.

He thought that since he had cried, he would never cry again.

But he was wrong.

The hundred years that he disappeared included the rest of his parents' old age - the old age that he should have fulfilled his filial piety.

But he never came back.

The son wants to be taken care of, but the relatives don't care.

From a young age, Li Guanqi has despised those who are unfilial and disgusted with them. He feels that such people cannot even be filial to their parents, so how can they be worthy of being human?

And what about him?

Why isn't he now...

Parents most need the company of their children in their later years, but he never appears.
To be continued...
