1288 Let Us Meet Each Other Again in the Upper Heavens
After kissing Tian Kai, Tan Songyun muttered, "After this is over, I am going to leave this place."
"Where will you go?" Tian Kai asked her.
"I'm going to walk the path of a cultivator and join a sect."
"Is that so… Being a cultivator isn't as easy as most mortals believe, you know. It's a path that's filled with blood and corpses."
"I am aware, but that won't stop me from chasing after what I love — what I desire."
Tan Songyun suddenly stood up and pulled him towards the cold bed.
"Are you sure?" Tian Kai asked her.
As a private performer, Tan Songyun had been offered an immense amount of wealth by her clients in hopes of embracing her body, as that was a common interaction for those in her line of job. Despite the enticing amount of money that could let her live a life of luxury, she refused every single one of them and kept her body pure.
"I am sure." Tan Songyun nodded in a bashful manner.
That night, Tan Songyun gave her innocence to Tian Kai, and they didn't stop until the following morning when someone knocked on her door. "Fairy Tan, are you awake? Your client is already here."
"I'll be there in a moment!" Tan Songyun quickly replied. However, she had no intention of attending that appointment.
"When will you leave this place?" Tian Kai asked her as she got out of the bed to get dressed.
"Right now," she said, taking him by surprise.
"What? Right now? But what about your job?"
"I'm quitting, and I'll be doing so without letting them know, as the owner surely won't be willing to let me quit," Tan Songyun declared.
After all, she was the bread and butter of this establishment—their most successful and highest-earning performer. Without her, their revenue would drop by at least half. Given her value, the owner of the establishment would never allow her to leave so abruptly.
"And where will you be going after you sneak away from this place? Straight to the closest sect? It's too sudden. Are you even thinking this through?" Tian Kai couldn't help but express his concerns.
"I don't know where I will go, but I have enough money to not worry about such things for now. I haven't decided on which sect to join yet, but I'll join one before I run out of money."
Tian Kai rubbed his eyes and sighed, "Are you really sure you want to do this?"
She stared at him with a resolute face and nodded, "I won't repeat myself. I want to stay by your side, and I am willing to do anything to realize that dream."
Tan Songyun realized that she might be moving a little too fast, especially since she barely knew Tian Kai, but she also knew how her heart felt about him and what it desired.
Seeing how adamant Tan Songyun appeared, Tian Kai showed a defeated smile on his face, "In that case, why don't you stay with me for a bit?"
"Eh?" Tan Songyun's eyes widened, seemingly taken aback by his unexpected offer.
"After all, our lessons are not finished yet, and since you'll be joining a sect, I've decided to teach you a little more than I had planned."
After a slight pause with no response, he asked, "You don't want to…?"
Tan Songyun immediately snapped out of her daze and replied, "I-I do! Please let me stay with you!"
"Then you should start packing," he said with a smile.
Tan Songyun didn't have much luggage. In fact, besides her zither, some clothes, and money, she had nothing else.
Several minutes later, she was ready to leave.
"Okay, I am ready." Tan Songyun declared.
Tian Kai nodded and walked to the window, opening it.
"Whenever you are ready," he said to her.
"We're leaving through the window?"
"Unless you plan on disguising yourself, I don't see how you'll 'sneak' out from the front door. Don't worry, I won't let you fall."
lightsΝοvel Tan Songyun nodded and walked over to him.
When she got close enough, Tian Kai hugged her waist and jumped out of the window.
"Wha—?!"
Tan Songyun was so shocked that she forgot how to scream, but she quickly realized that they weren't falling down. Instead, they were going higher and higher toward the sky.
"W-We're flying?! Y-You were an Immortal Cultivator all along?!" she exclaimed.
"You don't have to be an immortal to fly." Tian Kai laughed.
Sometime later, Tian Kai descended by a river located within the mountain range, and there was a humble building constructed beside the river.
"I wasn't expecting to come all the way out here… Is this really where you live?" Tan Songyun looked around with an amazed face.
"I travel often so I usually make my own home. You don't like it?"
"I-I do! I really like the atmosphere here. It's so peaceful and quiet."
Thus began Tan Songyun's new life with Tian Kai. During the day, they would practice music together, and then during the night, they would express their love for each other.
Back at the establishment Tan Songyun had snuck away from, there was widespread panic as they realized their top performer had vanished without a trace, and her clients became filled with depression. Naturally, they made efforts to search for her, but their attempts were in vain.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and before they were aware, Tan Songyun had stayed with Tian Kai for almost a year.
During this time, he taught her some cultivation techniques for the zither, even assisting her cultivation. Tan Songyun did not know it at that time, but Tian Kai had taught her extremely powerful and valuable techniques that would make even those in the upper heavens filled with envy.
Then, right as they passed a year, to Tan Songyun's bewilderment, Tian Kai suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a note and some resources.
"I apologize for the abrupt disappearance, but something came up and I had to leave. Unfortunately, I will not be able to return for a while. I will be waiting for you in the upper heavens, Songyun."
Despite leaving her alone so abruptly, Tan Songyun did not feel anger towards Tian Kai, as she had anticipated this day would eventually come a year ago.
"Yes… let us meet each other again in the upper heavens… my beloved…" Tan Songyun mumbled as she pressed the note against her beating heart.
