"Immortal Wu Ming, I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime..."
Outside the capital of the Lu Dynasty, the white-haired and hunched Nie Yubing excitedly grasped Li Muyang's hand.
The little girl who once cheerfully skipped around had now become the empress of the nation.
She had become old, slow, and frail, no longer the mischievous and cute girl she once was.
Behind her stood her descendants.
"Come quickly to pay respects to Immortal Wu Ming! He is the savior of our mortal realm and a great benefactor to the Lu family!"
The white-haired old woman excitedly called her grandchildren to bow before Li Muyang.
She knew Li Muyang didn't like grand ceremonies, so she brought only a few important descendants and personal guards.
Gazing at such a Nie Yubing, Li Muyang felt a complex mix of emotions.
"You've grown old as well..."
Li Muyang sighed, gently channeling a strand of nature's spiritual energy into Nie Yubing's body.
