Everything went back normal after that night. Bai Shijue continued tutoring Han Ning who continued showing great progress. He was very similar to young Han Min. He was serious and not wasting time to dilly-dally or fussing about anything, unlike Han Shun who often complained about stuff just to get Bai Gege's attention.

So he was very satisfied with Han Ning's progress.

However, things wasn't the same with Han Min. The old disciple of Bai Shijue felt that his body was getting weaker each day, to the point that he couldn't wake up from the bed anymore.

He was officially bedridden after one year of Bai Shijue's stay.

"M--Master Bai, I'm so sorry... I cannot cook or wash your robe anymore. My body..." Han Min wanted to at least kneeled in front of  Master Bai to show his servitude, but he was too old, his body wasn't as tough as it was used to be.

"It's fine. You're still a human. You will get old and passed away," Bai Shijue tried to pacify Han Min who was distressed. But Master Bai's words made Han Min even sadder than before;

"Master Bai, please promise me that you will let me serve you even after my death. That is my only wish, Master Bai!" Han Min begged desperately. He was so afraid that he'd go to the underworld and would never see Master Bai again.

He dedicated his life building the religion of Bai Shijue, God of Prosperity and Purity in hope that Master Bai would notice him and at least showed his face once to Han Min.

It was such a painful decades of not being able to serve Master Bai, so now when he got another chance...

"Don't worry about it, Han Min. I will make sure that you're going to be with me," Bai Shijue assured. "I never broke any of my promise, remember?"

"Y--Yes, I trust you, Master Bai. I was just scared..."

"Han Ning," Bai Shijue called Han Ning who was standing near the door the whole time.

"Yes, Master Bai," Han Ning approached Bai Shijue and kneeled piously.

"Take care of your great grandpa while I'm gone for a moment," Bai Shijue said.

"Where are you going, Master Bai?"

"I'm going to negotiate with the God of the Underworld. So he will not take Han Min's soul," Bai Shijue said. He was calm, yet confident that he would be able to discuss about such thing with the God of the Underworld.

Han Ning couldn't help but to worship Master Bai even more. In his mind, Master Bai would be fighting against the God of Underworld to make him yield.

"Master Bai, are you sure you can defeat the God of Underworld? Just by the title, he seems very tough," Han Ning said.

"Of course, he is no match for me. Don't worry," Bai Shijue assured.

[Pupa: Yeah, by letting him fucking your ass.]

[Hey, it's an effective method! Being a hoe to a handsome and powerful man is a legit tactic! Now shut up you Sailor Moon otaku!]

"I won't be long this time. Just make sure you take care of him," Bai Shijue said before he disappeared.

Han Ning was astonished when Master Bai disappeared. He was serious about fighting the God of Underworld just to make sure that his great grandpa would be able to serve Master Bai even as a spirit.

"Grandpa, you're so lucky," Han Ning said while massaged Han Ming's leg.

Han Min smiled and closed his eyes, "I am the luckiest mortal to ever live. But there is someone who is even luckier than me. He is not mortal anymore though."

"Prophet of the Light, Han Shun?"

"Yes, Young Master Han Shun is the luckiest man ever existed. He got all what he wants from Master Bai. He even got the chance to be able to go with Master Bai to the immortal realm. I envied him a lot, though I know I will never be able to be like him," Han Min said. "I just hope that he won't hurt Master Bai..."

"What do you mean by that, grandpa? Did... Did Prophet Han Shun hurt Master Bai?"

"... No, Han Ning. There must be a misunderstanding between them. Master Bai is free from sin. He is a God after all. But Young Master Han Shun was born a mortal, and still had characteristic that a mortal have. So he still has room for mistake," Han Min explained. "Let's just hope that nothing goes bad after this..."

**

Bai Shijue arrived in front of the Forest of Lost Mist again. He wanted to meet with the Evil God of Nothingness because he really needed that olive of underworld. He wanted to make sure that Han Min would be able to stay.

"Pupa, can you open the gate for me?" Yunyu requested.

Pupa materialized in front of him, "I mean, I can. But, are you sure that you want to meet him now? He hasn't send any news about the underworld olive or the vial of the death."

"I know, but I'm seriously desperate for one of them at least. Maybe he just forgot about it, I will demand him to bring it to me. Han Min is in his deathbed, we cannot delay more time for it."

Pupa finally gave in after being pressured by Yunyu. It chanted the code and the door was summoned in front of him, "Do you want to follow me inside, Pupa?"

"No thanks, this time I will return to the headquarter instead. I don't want to be thrown into that weird world where the only thing I can do is eating my salad," Pupa refused.

Pupa opened a portal and jumped in, leaving Yunyu alone to face the Evil God of Nothingness. He took a deep breath and opened the door, walking to the same path until he saw the wide blue lake and the white jade pavilion floating in the middle.

He saw the evil god was sitting while waving his fan gently. The evil god's eyes were already darted at Bai Shijue. He must've already expected Bai Shijue's arrival.
