In the following years, Li Chang Bo became famous for his modern old Chinese style of drawing and was named the best old Chinese modern artist. His artwork became so famous that people would pay millions of dollars to buy it.
But he and Feng Yu Han stopped
working at 50 and retired from the world. They bought a piece of land on the edge of a forest where it is quiet with a great view and spent the rest of their lives there.
During that time, Li Chang Bo drew a painting which was finally finished after 30 years. At their deathbed, he showed the painting to his husband, who burst into tears after seeing it.
“When did you draw this, baby?” Feng Yu Han asked in his hoarse voice and gently stroked the painting with his trembling old hand. He was mesmerized by the painting.
His baby draw a painting of the two of them standing under a tree surrounded by bubbles which were dangling from the tree. In each bubble were important moments in their life drawn and their name were carved on the tree.
“I have been drawing this painting for the past 30 years. I finished it last week and wanted to show it to you sooner but I forgot it.” Li Chang Bo said and wiped away the tears that kept falling out of his lovers face.
Even thought they were in their 80 their body was well maintained so they didn’t have much wrinkles on their faces.
“Why are you crying, hanhan?” he asked softly and stroked his lovers cheeks.
Feng Yu Han looked at his baby and kissed his eyes, his forehead and lastly gave him a peck on his lips.
“Baby, I’m scared. I don’t want to leave you. I can already feel that my time is already up and I will be leaving in any moment. What will happen to you if I leave? Who will take care of you?” Feng Yu Han was panicking and his heart was beating faster which wasn’t good
because it decreased his remaining life span.
Li Chang Bo noticed that his lovers face became paler and calmed him down.
“My love, you don’t have to worry about me. I will follow you. I will not let you leave alone. I still need someone to spoil me in my next life.” Li Chang Bo trying to lighten up his lovers mood which worked as Feng Yu Han started laughing.
“You’re right. Only I can take care of you, spoil and love you. Baby, promise me that you will only be mine in our next life times.” Feng Yu Han said seriously and starred at Li Chang Bo.
Li Chang Bo was uneasy because he knew that we would see Feng Yu Han in the next world but he wouldn’t be his lover but to sooth his lover he had to gave in.
“Yes my love I promise you that my heart and my soul will always be yours. You will be the only person I will love in this and in the next life times Feng Yu Han.”
He said with tears in his eyes as he saw that his lovers breathing became shallow and his heartbeat slowed down.
“Then I don’t have to worry. I promise you to fall in love with you before you, so wait for me baby. I love you.” Feng Yu Han said in his last breath and closed his eyes with a smile on his face.
Li Chang Bo began to cry so hard that he shocked on his saliva.
“I love you too my love. I don’t know who you are but please get well soon.” he said before also closing his eyes and leaving this world.
Li Chang Bo's nephew, who came to visit, noticed that the house was too quiet, so he looked for his two uncles. After a while, he found them lying in their arms with their eyes closed on the bed, with a painting leaning against the bed.
Uncertain and full of fear, he
slowly walked towards them and grabbed his uncle's hand, recoiling in horror and grief. With trembling hands he called his father.
"Dad, Uncle... Uncle Li and Feng have died," he said and burst into tears. Li Yu Cheng, who had also grown old, almost had a heart attack when he heard that his brother and brother-in-law had died.
He never thought they would stay together for so long and still love each other as much as they did in the beginning. If not, he believes even more and that they have now passed
away together doesn't really surprise him but it does hurt.
"Wait for me, I'll be right there and we'll bury them together in their garden so they can rest together in peace.”
________________
[Welcome back to the system space host.] said the shining ball of light as it floated happily around Li Chang Bo's head, but when it saw that its host was crying quietly, it stopped quietly and looked at him with concern.
It floated quietly into the arms of its host to give him comfort and watched him weep for two days before falling asleep with an unstable soul. Li Chang Bo was sad and disappointed that he had lost his lover and would never see him again.
He knew that he would see the other parts of his soul in different worlds but they would not be his lover who would pamper him and love him more than anything.
What kept him going was the thought that he could help him collect his soul so that he would be well again. After sleeping for months, he woke up and looked around for the glowing ball of
light.
[Is the host alright now?] asked the system after seeing that Li Chang Bo woke up from his deep sleep. His soul which was previously unstable, became stable again.
“Yes, I’m fine. What are the results from the previous world?” Li Chang Bo asked while blankly staring into nothing.
[DING! The host successfully completed the mission world and was able to fulfil the wishes of the original owner and extract the souls shard of the Lord God.]
[DING! Feng Yu Han’s favorability for the Host is 90.]
[DING!
Main task
1. Collect the scattered soul shard of the Lord God (1000points)
Side task
1. Protect the Li family (200points)
2. Expose Su Yan’s true personality to the world (400points)
3. Become a world famous painter (200 points)
the host has received a total of 1800
points.]
“Then should we go to the next world?” Li Chang Bo asked his system.
[Before we go to the next world the host has to chose two skills to learn.]
When Li Chang Bo heard about learning skills a shiver ran down his spine and he became deathly pale.
“Hehe, my lovely system. I know that you love me so you wouldn’t let me suffer like this, right?” Li Chang Bo asked nervous. He really had no desire or strength to learn skills for years. He just wanted to go to the next world and to see how the other soul of his lover
looked like.
[I’m sorry host but it is the best for you to learn as many skills as possible, to not have problems in the future.]
“whatever."
[These are the skills the host can learn. Please choose two:
Hacking
Cooking
Lv.1 Martial Arts
Dancing
Weapons
Mechanics
Medicine
Seducing
Which one of the skills does the host want to learn?]
“I choose cooking and Martial Arts” Li Chang Bo said and sighed at his tragic life.
[I will now transfer you into the training room. We will see each other after your training. Goodbye host.] the system said and transferred his host into the training room.
250 years later
“If I had knew that I would suffer like this, I wouldn’t have made a contract with you. That fucking robot wouldn’t even give me a break and I would be punished by the slightest mistake. What did I do in my previous life to deserve this torture” Li Chang Bo said and let
himself float in the space exhausted.
[Why are you so dramatic, host. I will now transfer you to the next world Good luck host.] the system said.

Somewhere far, far away from them, in a space made of ice, lay a man in a coffin made of ice.
The man was breathtaking, he had sharp features, sword-like eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a high nose and narrow lips with high cheekbones. Having lain in this room for billions of years, an icy aura surrounded him, complementing his power and high status with his
ancient robes.
His complexion was not good, for he was pale and looked as if he were only
a shell without a soul in his body. But at that moment a faint golden light floated in his direction and penetrated his body, improving his complexion somewhat shortly afterwards.
The aura surrounding him became more powerful and oppressive. A slight shock wave went through the whole universe, but no one noticed it as it was very weak.
