A month passed, and Han Shun continued his 'practice' in Forest of Lost Mist. Bai Shijue told him to master the route of that forest, so he wouldn't get lost anymore. He also gave Han Shun at least 3 Love talismans every night, so Han Shun could always use one of those to teleport back to Bai Shijue. 

Han Shun didn't really have to do anything in the Forest of Lost Mist, actually. All he needed to do was cultivate in that Yuzhong lake and wait for the night to pass. Though he had already told Bai Gege that he had made great progress, and he would be able to guide them both to the other side of the forest, where the gate of the cultivation world was located.

Bai Shijue still couldn't believe that Han Shun was that talented at knowing how to navigate through the mysterious forest. But, Han Shun was the first person in history to ever reach the Golden Core at the young age of 18 in his mortal form. 

So, nothing was impossible for this kid. 

He would return, acting exhausted, as if he had just fought a powerful beast, but he was just chilling around. 

He did that to get sympathy and personal care from Bai Gege. 

Sometimes, Han Shun talked with God of Nothingness, God Han Ye. But God Han Ye didn't say much. He often limited the conversation, refusing to answer any question that Han Shun asked. 

One question that would leave no answer was the name of God Han Ye's wife. 

"What's the name of your wife?" Han Shun asked curiously. "I mean, we've gotten closer, and you even told me the name of your son, Han Yuzhong. But you never actually tell me the name of your wife!"

"… I don't want to talk about that," Han Ye refused to answer. He dodged the question because Bai Yunyu had the same name in a few words, like in world 7 with Xuanlake, Yunyu used his real name. 

Han Shun might connect the dots and realize that Bai Shijue was also Bai Yunyu. Such a thing couldn't happen because it would ruin Han Ye's plan to trap this dumb young man. 

"Why don't you want to talk about your wife? I thought you loved her so much," Han Shun asked. "What kind of fight did you two have? I bet it's really bad, huh?"

"It's not just bad… that fight ruined our marriage life forever. It was my fault at first. What I did was wrong, but I did it out of desperation. But after that, it's all his fault. He is the one who broke everything, including me," Han Ye said. He wanted to tell everything because nobody would listened to him in the past.

He was the God of Nothingness. After all, he wasn't meant to be heard. But he wouldn't lie that everything that happened between him and his beloved wife turned him insane. 

Han Shun saw the pain in God Han Ye's face again, and he dared not pry more about Han Ye's past with his wife. But, he still had one question left that bugged him;

"Do you still love your wife?" Han Shun asked.

"Do I still love my wife?" Han Ye heard it as if he heard the most ridiculous question ever. His mood improved, and he chuckled lightly, "I did everything for him. He wanted me to be like this, so I did it. I will do everything he wants me to do, even if it hurts me. As long as he is happy."

"But, if he is happy, and you're hurt, isn't that a little… one-sided?" Han Shun asked. "I wonder if he likes you, or he married you just because…."

…

Han Ye looked away and replied, "Go, kid. It's not your time to know about that thing, not yet."

Han Ya raised his index, and Han Shun got kicked out of the realm immediately, "W—Wait, Whaaa!"

After making sure that Han Shun had left, Han Ye finally let out his frustration and sadness. 

"I don't know… I don't know if he loves me or not. All he did is hurting me. Maybe it really is one-sided."

"Maybe I'm just blinded by my own fantasy…." Han Ye's eyes glazed with tears again. He wasn't a crybaby. He was a powerful god that could literally erase everything at will. 

But whenever he thought about his wife, Bai Yunyu, the sadness never ended. It was like continuous torture that hurt him badly. 

Han Ye's tear dropped on the lake under him and froze the lake again. 

"Ah, I can't cry too much. My wife will yell at me and call me a fragile coward for crying. He will also beat me up for the same reason…." Han Ye wiped his tear and took another Love Talisman from his pocket. He stared at it for a while before kissing it deeply.

"Wife, can you make the same Love talisman for me as well?"

**

Han Shun got kicked out of the realm for no reason. He rubbed his butt and clucked his tongue in annoyance, "Geez, what a grumpy man, I was just asking a simple question!" 

He walked around the Forest of Lost Mist alone to pass the time. However, his mind floated around, thinking about what God Han Ye said to him.

'It is not time for you to know this, not yet.'

"What's that about? Obviously, I'm not interested in his wife, hmph!" Han Shun complained. "I'm only in love with Bai Gege, and he will absolutely love me back if I try hard enough! God Han Ye is just unfortunate, but I'm not. Because I know Bai Gege won't hurt me!"

Han Shun's mood gradually improved as he imagined his life with Bai Gege. He started swaggering around the Forest of Lost Mist, thinking he was untouchable because the power of love in his heart was just too strong!

"I can definitely make Bai Gege fall in love with me completely!" Han Shun stated confidently.
