The hot and fragrant mushroom and lean meat porridge filled Fang Yuxi's senses with its aroma. She had specially packed all kinds of porridge from her favorite store, almost emptying out their ingredients. The warehouse, which stopped the flow of time and could never be filled no matter how many times it was used, always left Fang Yuxi marveling at the magic of the immortal world, even after countless uses. Thus, Fang Yuxi almost ate everything, packed up a lot, and stored it there.
As she ate, tears fell one by one into the hot porridge. How she wished she could be reborn earlier, then her father wouldn't have died. Just the thought of her doting father, who used all his good things for her, made Fang Yuxi's heart ache. Her days with him were the happiest and most cherished in her life. She missed that time dearly.
Putting down the half-eaten food, Fang Yuxi found some incense paper money in the space and walked to the cemetery with a basket. It wasn't until the cold wind blew that she snapped out of her sadness. She realized she had forgotten she couldn't openly worship now.
Quickly, she replaced the incense paper money with three meat dishes and a bottle of wine, scolding herself for her carelessness. Sneaking to her father's grave, she couldn't help but shed tears as she looked at the small earthen bag that now held her father's remains. It was so different from the tall man he had been in life.
"Dad! I miss you so much! It's Xixi, I've been unfilial," Fang Yuxi cried as she knelt, paying respects to her father. The memories of being sold and wandering for over forty years without seeing him flooded her mind. If it weren't for Jiuyan Space, she wouldn't have had the courage to come and pay her respects again. She couldn't forgive herself for not coming sooner. Now, it was too late to save him.
But what Fang Yuxi didn't expect was that her cries frightened two villagers passing by the hilltop. They mistook her for a ghost, shouting and running away, spreading rumors of a haunting. This inadvertently protected the cemetery from further disturbances.
After crying for what felt like an eternity, Fang Yuxi's eyes became red and swollen, but she gradually calmed down. She vowed to seize this second chance and not let herself fall into despair again. Burning paper money and incense for her father, she prayed for his peace and a better future for herself.
Leaving the cemetery, Fang Yuxi passed by Tang Guihua's house, hearing her loud curses and the noise of her children. Fang Yuxi's eyes hardened with determination. She vowed to make them pay for their wrongdoings in this life.
Returning home, Fang Yuxi looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings. Every corner held memories of happiness and sorrow. Now, with a fresh start, she aimed to create new memories here.
After some contemplation, Fang Yuxi busied herself once again. The events of that fateful night in her previous life still lingered in her mind, fueling her resolve.
