Bai Yunyu called Pupa after he left the evil God's realm.

"Pupa, I'm done with the… Uhm… uh… transaction with that evil god!" Bai Yunyu said.

A portal suddenly appeared in front of Yunyu, and Pupa peeked out of the portal with a Sailor Moon wig on its head.

Yunyu's jaw dropped, and Pupa quickly threw the wig into the portal before acting as if Yunyu had just seen a ghost, "So you're done with Master Ha— I mean, with that Evil God of Nothingness?"

"That wig—"

"Well, let's return to the mortal realm then. Since there's nothing we could do here," Pupa said.

"Your wig— I've seen your Sailor Moon wig—"

"What wig? Don't make stuff up, I'm not an Otaku like you," Pupa denied fervently. Yunyu was still surprised because he didn't expect Pupa to have the same hobby as him, to dress as Sailor Moon!

But it didn't seem like Pupa wanted to be seen by anyone, much to Yunyu's disappointment.

Bai Yunyu and Pupa turned invisible and flew back to Han Min's residence in the mortal realm. Since times ran differently, he didn't know how long he had been absent in the mortal realm.

But fortunately, after he asked Han Min about it, he said, "Master Bai left for a week. I was getting worried that you might leave me again here. But I saw Chinchin is still sleeping on the tree branch, and you will never leave that chipmunk alone or forgot about his existence, right?"

"Uh… yeah, totally," Bai Shijue said. "I have returned now, and I will check on Han Ning's progress after my departure. I hope that young man has a bit of progress at least."

"Certainly, Master Bai! I've trained him hard, and he is more than willing to train every day. He took pride in being able to be mentored by the God of Prosperity and Purity," Han Min praised his own descendant. He trained Han Ning hard, and Han Ning took it seriously, not wanting to disappoint Master Bai.

"Good, I will return to my courtyard for now. I'll check his progress next morning," Bai Shijue said. He walked away from Han Min, and Han Min felt lost when he realized that he was getting too old and scared that he might die before fully devoting his life to Master Bai.

"Master Bai—"

"Hm?" Bai Shijue turned around and smiled at the old Han Min. "What's wrong, Han Min?"

"A—About my death…."

"Don't worry about that," Bai Shijue replied lightly. "I've talked to the God of the Underworld. He is willing to spare your soul. So when you die, you will follow me forever, if that's what you want."

Han Min's face brightened instantly. He nodded fervently, "Yes! Master Bai, even as a soul, I will devote my soul to you! I will serve you— though I don't know how at least not yet!"

Bai Shijue chuckled, "Honestly, you can always follow me whenever you want as a soul. Though if you want to help, you can just be the guiding spirit of your descendants and all people who deep worship towards me."

"I will do anything to devote myself, Master Bai!" Han Min stated.

Bai Shijue had a thin but sad smile, "Why do you want to follow me that bad? I still don't get it."

"I thought I told you before, Master Bai. I just think that I haven't devoted myself enough to you. You gave me all the grace and happiness any human could have, but I still haven't repaid you. Since you don't need money, I will pay you with my servitude, even after my death!"

Bai Shijue couldn't help but approach the old man again and patted his head like he was patting the head of young Han Min.

"Master Bai?"

"It's nothing. I'm just happy that you grew up to be good. I wished Han Shun could be like you."

"W—What happened to Young Master Han Shun?!"

Han Min worried that something might have happened to Young Master Han. Because it was very rare for Young Master Han Shun to not follow Master Bai everywhere.

Back then, Young Master Han would literally tail Master Bai anywhere he went.

"D—Did Young Master Han… get hurt?"

"No, he is alright," Bai Shijue replied. "But he's… no with me anymore."

"W—What do you mean by that, Master Bai!?"

"He…" Bai Shijue clenched his fist. He just couldn't bear to say that Han Shun had become the direct disciple of the God of Nothingness and had joined the dark side.

He took a deep breath, thinking if it was necessary to tell the whole story. After a short consideration, Bai Yunyu took a deep breath and shook his head, "I don't want to talk about it, Han Min. I was happy you didn't grow up to be like him."

"I'm pretty tired today. Let me rest," Bai Shijue finally disappeared into his courtyard, leaving Han Min alone.

Han Min had never felt such dread in his heart. Because he noticed how sad Master Bai looked when he was thinking about Han Shun.

However, Master Bai said Young Master Han Shun was in good health, so there was only one thing possible…

"Did Young Master… left to join the evil side?" Han Min wondered. He knew that Young Master had darkness in his heart, just by how Young Master Han treated him horribly.

But he didn't expect Han Shun to actually betray Master Bai!

"N—No matter what, I will protect Master Bai, even if it will cost my life!"

Meanwhile, Han Ye went to the underworld to retrieve one underworld olive and went to Han Shun first before returning to his realm.

He saw the rugged Han Shun. He continued practicing nonstop and didn't seem to have anything in mind other than rage.

He appeared in front of Han Shun and said, "Yo, Han Shun, I have another thing for you to look at. You're going to like it."
