【Beginning】
Summoned by Li Hsiao-Yao, Jiang Yun-Fan traveled through time and space in search of the Evil-Sealing Pagoda. In the realm of Humans, he had an unexpected encounter with Tang Yu-Rou, who had already perished. The Tang in front of him now was summoned from before her death; her memory was not intact, and she did not know that she will someday sacrifice her own life to save Jiang Yun-Fan.
With their ability to sense the Evil-Sealing Pagoda, the two finally located it in the realm of Humans. There, they met the others from Ancient China, including the Almighty Devil, Chong Lou. Unfortunately, he had exhausted his power sending the Pagoda back, compelling the others to find another way home.
From the Cat Duke’s book about the Pagoda, they learnt that they could reopen the passageway of time and space if they found a Runestone of great power in the realm.
After reading the map, Jiang Yun-Fan and Tang Yu-Rou decided to head toward Divine Woodland. Before they embarked on their journey, the Celestial Master conjured his power and created a crystal, which would guide them to the Runestone. During their journey, Jiang Yun-Fan silently peered at the map, his mind involuntarily struggling with one another.
【Before Battles】
- Jiang Yun-Fan: ‘We have to return to Ancient China. It is our home after all...’
【After Battles】
- Jiang Yun-Fan: ‘But, if we do return, Yu-Rou will...Am I supposed to suffer this loss yet again? Fate has granted me this rare chance to be with her...’
【End】
She is the love of his life — separated by the barrier of death; but now, she stood before him, so close that he could touch her. Jiang Yun-Fan closed his eyes, before folding up the map in silence. Walking beside him, Tang Yu-Rou could not help but ask with a smile:
- Tang Yu-Rou: Mm? What is wrong? Not looking at the map, huh? Are you not afraid of getting lost?
Jiang Yun-Fan pointed at his brain before smiling:
- Jiang Yun-Fan: Have you forgotten? I was a bandit once! Simple things like maps? I can remember them after a single glance.
Tang Yu-Rou nodded, still smiling; he gripped her hand, and the two walked side by side with fingers interlocked. The warmth coming from her hand was concrete, prompting him to subconsciously tighten his grip. However, before he took her hand, he had already slipped the map and crystal into his pouch, his mind devising a scheme...
