As soon as Xu Fu opened his eyes, he saw the familiar ceiling.

The walls still bore mottled marks and yellowed corners, with one or two tattered spiderwebs swaying slightly in the breeze.

Xu Fu suddenly sat up in bed and immediately noticed a faint odor emanating from his body.

Xu Fu, skeptical, sniffed the air and detected a faint smell of decay emanating from his armpit.

Xu Fu curled his lip in disdain and immediately asked the system.

"System, what time is it now? How long has it been since I traveled back in time—"

Xu Fu took out his cell phone from his pocket; it was out of battery and switched off.

Xu Fu pressed it down a couple of times with difficulty, then put it back in his pocket.

"How did I end up back in my own body?"

Xu Fu crossed his arms, looked at the dust covering the ground, and felt a headache coming on...

[Host, we haven't been gone long.]

"Hmph!" Xu Fu snorted coldly, "Look at the dust on this floor—"

"Does it look like you haven't been gone long?!"

"And my body is practically rotting away!"

[Sorry, host, I didn't know you were coming back, so I didn't take care of these aspects of your body...]

"So now... this seems to be my true form, right?!" Xu Fu asked as he packed his things.

The system used its points to create a new body based on the host's previous body's parameters...

"You didn't use mine, did you?!" Xu Fu asked coldly.

This was a systemic oversight; Xu Fu had already said twice that he wanted to return.

Unexpectedly, the system was completely unprepared...

I grabbed a plastic bag and stuffed all my certificates inside.

Then he stuffed his ID card and charger into the box, and walked out of the rented room without looking back.

In the past, due to limited resources, living in cramped quarters was acceptable, but now Xu Fu had no intention of compromising himself.

And there's also Little White in the space—

Xu Fu didn't want the other party to see how miserable he was; it was a matter of face!

Xu Fu wandered around outside for half a day, exchanging the gold bracelet from his spatial storage for 3 yuan.

Then I made a point of getting a neat haircut and changing into a tidy outfit.

I booked a hotel suite and ordered a table full of delicious food.

That's how Xiaobai was brought out of the space.

As soon as Xiaobai opened his eyes, he found himself in unfamiliar territory.

She was still cultivating, still in her serpentine form, and stared at Xu Fu with utter astonishment...

"This is... and you again—" Xiaobai looked at Xu Fu with a complicated expression.

Seeing the other person's stunned expression, Xu Fu then remembered that he was no longer the same person.

Xiao Bai instantly transformed into human form, wearing the same robes Xu Fu had given her earlier.

Xiao Bai's habitual clothes transformed into a flowing fairy dress.

"It's me, Xu Xian—" Xu Xian bowed to Xiao Bai, just as he remembered her.

"Please sit down, and I'll explain it to you carefully—"

Xu Fu patted the spot beside him and reached out his hand to Xiaobai.

The other party was skeptical, but still sat down next to Xu Fu, about ten feet away.

"Actually, after we died, we were reincarnated over a thousand years ago."

Xu Fu, or rather, Xu Xian now, and sitting beside him...

It was the soul he had longed for for over a thousand years—Bai Suzhen.

"What on earth is going on? How did I get here—"

Although Bai Suzhen looked surprised, her emotions remained relatively stable.

After all, he did have some doubts about what the person in front of him had said.

"You really are Xu Xian, really my husband?!"

"Didn't you already become a monk?!"

"I'm not already imprisoned under Leifeng Pagoda—" Bai Suzhen tried to recall.

I just can't remember anything that happened afterward...

"What happened to us after that?" Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xian with a questioning expression.

"I became a monk back then so that I could give you a chance to live—"

When Xu Xian recounted that past event, he was filled with emotion.

"Fahai promised me that as long as we parted, and as long as I obeyed him..."

"After he passes away, his descendants will release you from under Lei Feng's command!"

"But why did we end up together?!"

Bai Suzhen's mind became even more confused as she listened to the person's incoherent words.

Xu Xian stared blankly ahead, and it took him a long time to calm himself down before slowly recounting what happened next.

"I followed Fahai closely, diligently learning his skills."

"I hope that one day I can rescue you, and then we can retire to the mountains."

"We will no longer let others find us, nor will we let others disturb us—"

"Who would have thought, who would have thought—" Xu Xian's eyes instantly reddened, his voice choked with emotion.

"In less than ten years, I stormed into Leifeng Pagoda."

"That's when I realized you were trapped in the formation inside Leifeng Pagoda," Xu Xian said, covering his face in anguish and bursting into tears.

"You were tortured to the point of death, with only a wisp of your soul remaining in the same place."

Xu Xian could no longer control himself; he turned away and sobbed silently.

Bai Suzhen was also somewhat moved, and reached out to pat the other person's back.

"I'm perfectly fine, don't do this—"

"And then what happened? What made us stay together?!"

"Didn't you say we've been reincarnated for thousands of years? How could we be so lucky to run into each other?"

Xu Xian wiped away his tears and sobbed, "I'm afraid your soul will eventually be annihilated by the formation."

"So I used a magical artifact to capture your soul and then took it out of Leifeng Pagoda—"

Xu Xian held Bai Suzhen's hand tightly, his eyes filled with deep affection as he looked at her.

"Before I could find a body for you and nurture your soul, my whereabouts were discovered by my fellow disciples."

"Before I could escape, they trapped me—"

"I can only use a secret technique to bind your soul to mine."

"Then he self-destructed his dantian, abandoned his physical body, and went directly to the Yama King's Palace, where he was reincarnated."

Although Xu Xuan only used a few words, Bai Suzhen could clearly sense it.

The story is both epic and fraught with danger.

"Then why do we need to reincarnate for thousands of years?" Bai Suzhen asked, puzzled.

"Because in each of my rebirths, I have never awakened the memories of my past lives—"

"And I've forgotten that you still coexist in my soul."

"In every lifetime, we are troubled by others, and only when we are on the verge of death do we remember our past."

But time and time again, I failed to wake you.

Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief as he finished speaking, "Luckily, I encountered the system before I died suddenly in this life."

"He took me through five or six worlds, until we arrived in the world of cultivation..."

"I only managed to awaken you because I found a white snake whose bloodline is similar to yours."
