"Brother Qin, are you leaving?"
Mo Wuji noticed Qin Yi acting unusually and, remembering Qin Yi's previous mention of going to the Primordial world, asked tentatively.
Qin Yi hesitated briefly, then nodded.
Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing exchanged glances.
"What do you mean?"
Qin Yi laughed, "It'll be in the next few days. Old Mo, remember the task I entrusted you with."
Mo Wuji nodded heavily.
He lifted his cup, "Brother Qin, let's not say anything more. Come, let's drink to our heart's content."
"Alright, that's enough!"
The three of them drank from evening until the next morning.
Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing drank too much, completely sloshed and incoherent.
Qin Yi activated his energy movement to dispel the alcohol effect, then silently left.
...
Qin Yi returned to Tiger Roar Mountain, staying for a week.
That night, after a passionate encounter with Xia Yanbing, he gently embraced her, "Honey, I'm going to leave."
Xia Yanbing instinctively held Qin Yi tighter.
"When?"
"Tomorrow morning."
Xia Yanbing was startled, "So soon?"
"I have to go sooner or later, I know you've all known for a while."
Xia Yanbing nodded lightly, Qin Yi had been acting oddly lately, everyone had already guessed he was going to the Primordial world.
"Honey, remember what you promised me."
Qin Yi nodded, "Don't worry, I will come back unscathed. I don't know how long I'll be gone this time, I leave the house to you."
"Don't worry!" Xia Yanbing said, getting up to open the bedside drawer, taking out a silver heart-shaped necklace and putting it on Qin Yi.
"This has the photos of the children and me inside. You must remember, we're all waiting for you."
The necklace can be opened, it has two small photographs inside. One is of Xia Yanbing, the other is of two children.
...
Early morning, dawn was just breaking.
Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao appeared at the edge of Tiger Roar Mountain cliff.
Qin Yi had notified Yun Mengyao yesterday, agreeing to leave at this time.
Everyone knew he was leaving, but no one knew exactly when. Qin Yi hated farewells.
Yun Mengyao turned back, looking reluctantly at everything on the mountain, "Leaving, I wonder if I can ever come back?"
"If you want to return, you can anytime, this place will always be your home."
Yun Mengyao's eyes turned slightly red, she hadn't realized how hard it was to leave until the moment came. She understood, she might never return to this place.
She is the Holy Daughter of the Feather Clan, bearing the responsibility for the clan's rise and fall.
Qin Yi turned back, eyes filled with reluctance, not knowing when he will be able to return.
"Wait for me here a moment."
Qin Yi went to the ice storage, needing to bid farewell to Duan Yiyi before leaving.
Duan Yiyi was lying quietly in the ice coffin, perfectly preserved, as if asleep.
"Yiyi, your husband is heading to the Primordial world. If you were here, you'd definitely clamor to go with me. I know you love the bustle most, lying here alone must be lonely. When your husband returns, I promise to revive you.
Yiyi, bless your husband to return safely."
Qin Yi gently caressed the ice coffin, saying goodbye to Duan Yiyi.
Half an hour later, Qin Yi left the ice storage, came outside, and said to Yun Mengyao, "Let's go."
Yun Mengyao took one last lingering look at everything on the mountain, then she and Qin Yi transformed into two beams of light and left.
After Qin Yi departed, four figures in the pavilion on the mountain stood for a long time.
"Qin Yi, take care!" Azure Dragon said softly.
"You brat, make sure you come back alive."
...
A few hours later, Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao appeared amidst a mountain range.
Yun Mengyao looked at the enormous Heavenly Pit over a hundred meters in diameter in front of her, "This is where I came out from."
Qin Yi walked to the edge, peeked in, seeing nothing but darkness, impossibly deep.
No danger came from the Heavenly Defect appearing on Earth from the Primordial world. But no one had entered the Primordial world from this Heavenly Pit on Earth before; no one knew if it was dangerous within.
"Maybe if we jump in, we'll die inside and never reach the Primordial world." Qin Yi laughed.
Yun Mengyao rolled her eyes, "You wish! I don't want to die alongside you."
Qin Yi was speechless, "What? Dying with me is such a loss?"
"Of course! You've got a wife and kids. I haven't even been in love, married, or left a descendant, dying would be a huge loss."
"After all that you just want someone to sleep with?"
Yun Mengyao: "…"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll rip your mouth off."
Qin Yi shrugged, "If we head down, who knows what lies ahead. You should hope we survive? Once we reach the Primordial world, you can marry your Saint Heir, and someone will sleep with you every night, fulfilling your wish."
Yun Mengyao's pretty face blushed deeply, "I really want to kick you down right now, if anyone dies it's you first."
"No need for you to kick, I'll jump myself."
As soon as he spoke, Qin Yi leapt directly into the Heavenly Pit.
Yun Mengyao hesitated, shouted urgently, "Idiot, wait for me."
Then hurriedly jumped in after him.
The two plummeted rapidly.
Qin Yi discovered the Heavenly Pit was a deep hole over a hundred meters in diameter, getting darker as it went down.
He felt he must have descended two or three hundred meters by now, with complete darkness in front of him.
"Qin Yi, where are you?"
Yun Mengyao looked out at the darkness, unable to see anything, surrounded by an eerie silence, only the sound of falling through the air was there, making her uneasy.
Qin Yi had experienced blindness several times, accustomed to darkness.
Moreover, he spread his Divine Thought, able to see everything around.
"I'm right beside you."
"Come closer."
Qin Yi was puzzled, approached Yun Mengyao, "What's wrong?"
Suddenly, there was a yelp of pain from him, his face flushed and neck swollen, "Are you crazy, woman?"
He never imagined, as soon as he got close to Yun Mengyao, she'd suddenly grab him like a monkey stealing a peach, and her grip was astonishingly strong, nearly crippling him.
No matter how high Qin Yi's cultivation, that area was very sensitive, how could he withstand Yun Mengyao's fierce grip.
Yet Yun Mengyao continued squeezing without letting go.
"Let go." Qin Yi's voice changed from pain.
"No, it's too dark here, I can't see anything, I'm scared."
"Damn it, you shouldn't be grabbing me there! I was just joking with you earlier, why were you so harsh?"
"What did I grab?" Yun Mengyao was completely unaware of what she had grabbed.
"Let go, you can hold my arm."
"No need, it feels quite handy." Yun Mengyao said.
Qin Yi: "…"
"Yun Mengyao, you're such a rogue. I knew you've always been eyeing me. We haven't even reached the Primordial world yet and you've already made your move. Do you live up to Xiaobing's trust in you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"You grabbed me where? Don't you feel it?"
Yun Mengyao hesitated, reached out with her other hand to feel, muttering, "This is your leg, this is your other leg, this is your... ah..."
Finally realizing what she had grabbed from Qin Yi in panic, Yun Mengyao's face turned red, almost about to drip water, let out a sharp scream, the echo bouncing off the stone walls, nearly pierced Qin Yi's eardrums.
