The whole lake had been frozen just because of a single =teardrop from this man, "Unbelievable…." Han Shun mumbled. 

"Haha, sorry for that one," Han Ye wiped the tear at the edge of his eyes. "I just can't control myself whenever I'm talking about my beloved wife."

The mysterious man snapped his finger again, and the frozen lake thawed instantly. 

"This lake is what I call the Yuzhong lake," Han Ye said.

"Yuzhong lake?"

"Yes, this lake is inside the Forest of Lost Mist, but in a completely different sub-realm. Nobody can enter this lake without my permission," Han Ye explained. "This will be where you cultivate with me in the future. I don't need to come to your dream if you want to accept my power, you can just go here, and the process will be a lot easier and less painful."

"But how am I supposed to come here without your help?" Han Shun asked.

"Just enter the Forest of Lost Mist, and tap the ground 6 times with your left feet and 9 times with your right feet, and the door shall be summoned in front of you."

"Ah, so, 6 to 9?"

"Indeed."

'69, 69, 69, I must remember to do 69 to enter this realm,' Han Shun tried to remember the key to summon the door. 

Han Shun was a lot more curious about the history of this God of Nothingness named Han Ye. He was supposed to be an all-powerful, terrifying God, and Han Shun wouldn't deny that he had limitless power.

But when a tear dropped from the edge of his eye, he looked more human than before. At least, he looked like more of a person with emotion than a vile monster from the first impression that Han Shun got.

"How about this lake? Why did you name it Yuzhong Lake?"

"That's because this lake is where I trap— I mean, where I invite my wife for the first date. We had a romantic date as I… uh… as I kiss him and tell him how much I love him."

Han Shun instantly imagined confessing his love to Bai Gege in this lake. The lake was gorgeous, with sparkling water under the moonlight and a small pavilion floating in the middle of the lake. The pavilion was made out of white jade, which was really beautiful.

He should definitely bring Bai Gege here in the future, maybe when he is strong enough to fool Bai Gege to think that he made this realm all by himself.

'I bet Bai Gege had never seen this kind of beautiful lake in his life. This would be a great surprise!' Han Shun thought. 

"And about the lake's name," Han Ye cleared his throat and puffed out his chest a bit. "That's because our son's name is Han Yuzhong. He is also a mighty god. But I do feel guilty for him…."

"Huh, why?"

"… let's stop talking about me. I haven't made up with my wife and probably never will. But I will keep doing what he told me to do. It's what he wants anyway," Han Ye said.

"Your wife sounds evil…." Han Shun commented. He had no more fear of Han Ye, at least not as much when he started to show some of his vulnerability.

"He is not evil. He is just… dramatic," Han Ye said. "But that's it, I will not talk about him anymore. You shouldn't know too much about it anyway."

"I know what you want here. You want to shorten your time in the mortal realm, right? You want to leave with Bai Shijue to the immortal realm, to his righteous sect."

Han Shun nodded. That was what he wanted, after all.

"I can give you a better offer. It's an easy task," Han Ye opened his palm and summoned two marbles, just like what he usually did before. 

Han Shun read the names engraved on the marble, "Kim Taewoo/Kim Kibum and Xuanlake."

"Yes, they are also the past lovers of your beloved Bai Gege. The Kim brothers lived in the same body and were in love with him. Meanwhile, Hu Xuan or Xuanlake was a genius who missed him so much that he created a replica of Bai Shijue in his world. He deluded himself that he was happily married with Bai Shijue until he died."

"If you swallow only one, it will give you full knowledge of the Forest of Lost Mist. You will never get lost again, and you will also know the exact location of everyone as long as you focus."

"If you swallow two, it will allow you to identify and control any low to the mid-leveled celestial beast. You can make them attack you in a readable pattern, so killing them will be easier. You can also control them to attack someone else. You can even use them to spy around."

"Then how about Chinchin?" Han Shun asked. 

"You cannot control that one. Chinchin is a high-tier celestial beast. He is probably one of those who cannot be controlled at all."

"Wait, really?! That useless little squirrel that can only eat and hug Bai Gege's neck? That thing can't even fight a regular cat!"

"Haha! Don't underestimate Chinchin. He is not only useful for tracking anyone. But he is an immortal celestial beast with extremely high magic affinity."

"A pet like Chinchin can be used to boost your strength tremendously if used correctly," Han Ye explained. "Though, I don't think Chinchin likes you. He saw you as Bai Shijue's soulmate, but he will still stay with Bai Shijue. You should probably find your own pet… which is easy as long as you swallow two marbles at the same time."

Han Shun looked at the marble on Han Ye's palm and didn't hesitate to grab them all. He thought there was nothing to lose. After all, he had already swallowed 5 of those, and he already agreed to work with God Han Ye.

Gulk. Gulk.
