Book 12. Chapter 19. Han Shu's Death
“Li’er, I will find you soon, very soon.” Qin Yu murmured in his heart, and, at closer inspection, one would note the moisture on his eyelashes that revealed the longing in his heart.
His eyes closed, and he began to drift in a dream full of scenes and images of his time spent with Li’er, flickering by like a digital gallery. A specific one stood out; it was the time just prior to Li’er’s departure, before her lovely figure was swallowed by the rupture that pierced the sky.

“What is the farthest distance in the whole wide world?”

His eyes flew open as he remembered when he was a boy on Qian Long Continent, when he had heard of such a question.

But another answer came to mind.
“The farthest distance known to man should be the distance between two people who love each other deeply……and yet cannot be together.” The thought pulled at his heart strings, and a sharp pain blossomed in his chest. In the past, when he was still mortal, Qin Yu still had his brothers and family, he had not felt the ache of loneliness then. However, now in Immortal realm, he cannot help but to constantly think of Li’er.
“Hu!”
