Ming Yue woke up with a soft gasp. What greeted her was the ceiling of her chamber in Moon Palace. Staring at the ceiling of her chamber for a while, slowly she lifted her hand and moved it toward her lips, touching it softly. Once again intense longing attacked Ming Yue, making her heart vulnerable.

Deep down, Ming Yue felt scared and tormented by her conflicted feelings. At one side, she doesn't want to fall in love but on the other side, she longed for that man, Zhong Kui. Ming Yue was wondering in her mind, the question always appeared and making her uneasy.

'Will I be losing myself and become Chang'e if the memories keep on coming?'

'Will I no longer be Ming Yue in the future?'

Sighing softly, Ming Yue once again pushed the uneasy thoughts to back of her mind. She didn't want to think about this again, at least tried not to. Yet, at this time, Ming Yue didn't know that this fear of hers would be a trial she had to overcome in the future.

Ming Yue returned to Wu Mansion and went to the dining room after cleaning herself. Wearing casual clothes, she let long black hair untied after drying it. As soon as she entered the dining room, Ming Yue greeted everyone with a smile. The family greeted her back with warm smile and they began eating breakfast.

"Yue'er, the party is going to be held this Saturday. You can invite your friends if you want, how many people are you going to invite?" Fan Mei asked as she took a bite of the toast on her plate.

Ming Yue who was drinking an orange juice, put the glass back on the table before answering. "I will only invite three of my friends, principal Zhuge, Teacher Mo and Doctor Yan."

"So it's six people." Shi Jian commented as he nodded. "I am sure you don't want to invite the Qin family, right?"

"Yes. No need to invite them at all." Ming Yue said, coldness could be seen in her eyes. She didn't want to entangle the Qin Family anymore.

"I will give the invitation to you later, Yue'er." Fan Mei said, "Tell your friends that if they don't have the proper attire, we can buy it together."

"Okay, Mother. I will tell them."

After breakfast, Ming Yue returned to her room and texted her friends, telling them that they were invited to her welcoming party. Such news of course made the three friends happy, they congratulated Ming Yue through Wechat group.

Ming Yue smiled as she stared at the screen for a while. It was the first time for her to use emoji and somehow she was quite embarrassed after using it. She acted like teenage girls even though her soul was the soul of a m.a.t.u.r.e woman. The giddy feeling mixed with embarrassment turned into a complex feeling for Ming Yue.

'But..'

'This kind of feeling is not too bad..'

'I have suffered so much in the last life. Just enjoy it while it last.'

With that Ming Yue took her smartphone and returned to Moon Palace. As soon as she arrived, Ming Yue headed toward Green Moon Chamber straight away. The reason for that was because Yang Lixin had finished the trial and was hospitalized there after.

Ming Yue arrived at Green Moon Chamber only to find Yang Lixin was still in unconscious state. Xuan Wu was there to monitor his health.

"How is he?" Ming Yue asked Xuan Wu who was checking his pulse.

"Still the same."

"Is this a normal state after the trial?" Ming Yue asked again, her brows slightly creased as worry started to form on her face.

"I don't know. This is the first time I assisted a mortal in the trial. So far, no mortal ever survives the trial in ancient time. That's why many mortals at that time gave up on being cultivators." Xuan Wu answered.

Hearing Xuan Wu's answers, the worry on her face grew deeper. She noticed Yang Lixin's face that was pale and his haggard state. Extending her hand, Ming Yue touched Yang Lixin's hand.

"Yang Lixin.." Ming Yue spoke to the unconscious man, "You made a promise that you will return safely. You need to uphold that promise."

There was only silence and Ming Yue let out a soft sigh filled with sadness. It was a wishful thinking for her to think that Yang Lixin would wake up after she finished speaking. This was not some TV drama..

However just as she pushed the thought away, Yang Lixin's body glowed in faint golden color and Ming Yue felt energy coming from Yang Lixin. Ming Yue's eyes widened, the gloom that was decorating her eyes turned into hope.

"He succeeded."

Ming Yue heard Xuan Wu's words, the hope bloomed in her heart. Her eyes never left Yang Lixin, as if counting the the time for the man to open his eyes. As the glow dissipated from his body, Yang Lixin started to open his eyes. The moment the eyes were opened, it instantly focused on Ming Yue and a smile appeared on the man's face.

"I have returned, Young Miss." Yang Lixin spoke in hoarse voice, his throat were dry but he still managed to speak those short words.

Yes.. He had returned..

Just like what he promised her..

Ming Yue returned the smile as the worry that had been burdening her heart disappeared. She nodded once and replied,

"Yes.. Good job for returning Yang Lixin, welcome back."

The word 'welcome back' sent warm feeling to Yang Lixin's heart. He finally had the place to return to, a place where he belonged.

'Zemin ah..'

'The 'me' who had lost the place in this world after that incident..'

'Finally found the place where I belong..'

'I wonder if you can see me from up there..'

Somewhere in Demon Realm..

A man stood in front of a coffin, his red eyes stared at it for a while before speaking in a tone full of annoyance.

"How long are you going to continue to sleep? Wake up!"

The coffin lid shook slightly and slid to the side. A figure rose from inside, a man who had black hair with slightly messy bangs. His blood colored eyes stared at the man, clearly showing his dissatisfaction due being woken up from his slumber.

"Don't look at me like that, Master has ordered me to wake you up." The man grumbled,

"He has an important thing to tell you, Pan Zemin."
