"Mother, do you want to go see Father?" Lanxuan said softly. "The coffin was just taken away. He probably hasn't been buried yet."
"…Yes."
'After all, I have to see him one last time.'

'Their first meeting was still vivid in her mind.'
'Lan Cang was the first male in this world she had truly fallen for. In the end, he couldn't walk with her to the very end. Their story had a beginning, but no end.'
'Perhaps this was for the best. When I think of him, it will always be of his most passionate, youthful self.'
'Lan Cang probably wouldn't have wanted me to see him as a decrepit old man, either...'
But Sang Luo couldn't accept it. 'Even if Lan Cang had a limited lifespan, he shouldn't have left me so suddenly, so early!'
'Can I really not escape the fate of that other timeline?!'
Sang Luo took out the Energy Crystal Core again.
