Lin Qingluo obediently nodded, she took the box and opened the lid as instructed.
In the bone box, there lie a string of Sacred Beads, emanating a robust ancient aura, their surface teeming with luminescence, passed down from the ancient times.
Each Sacred Bead was as white as snow, each carved with the unique totem of the Wu Clan.
“These Sacred Beads are the relic of Fan'er's father, they are the Mu Clan's heirloom.”
Grandma Mu's gaze fell upon the Sacred Beads, a hint of tears flashed in her eyes, “Before his departure, Grandma gave Fan'er these Sacred Beads to give to his beloved as a betrothal gift.”
At this point, she wiped away her tears and broke out in a smile, “This child is too shy to present it himself and had me do it on his behalf. Allow me to put it on you.”
Upon hearing the words “betrothal gift”, a small piece of Lin Qingluo's heart fiercely trembled, her cheeks blushed as if they were on fire.
“My sweet child.”
Grandma Mu lovingly looked at her, “Would you become our Mu Clan's daughter-in-law?”
“Hm.”
Lin Qingluo hummed a soft breath from her nose, her head bowed in shyness, too embarrassed to meet Grandma Mu's gaze.
“My good girl, come, let Grandma put it on for you.”
Grandma Mu happily took the necklace from the bone box.
Lin Qingluo, unusually demure, leaned forward slightly, her elegant neck slightly lowered.
Grandma Mu gently put the necklace on her, her gaze filled with tenderness.
“Grandma Mu, would you come with me to the Spirit Realm?”
Lin Qingluo gently caressed the Sacred Beads, her heart never so tender before.
“No.”
Grandma Mu kindly refused with a smile, “I'm getting old, no more fussing for me. When I die, just bury these old bones here in Wu Mountain.”
“Grandma.”
Lin Qingluo's heart ached, wanting to persuade her further.
Grandma Mu smiled and interrupted her, “Don't try to persuade me anymore. I am the Clan Patriarch of the Wu Clan, I cannot abandon my people.”
“Grandma.”
Lin Qingluo looked worried, “Are there still people coming to harass you and abduct children with peculiar abilities?”
“Rest assured.”
Grandma Mu gently shook her bone staff, radiating authority, “Without traitors causing trouble, the witches of the Wu Clan are capable of protecting their own people within the borders of Wu Mountain.”
“If Grandma says so, Qingluo feels relieved.”
Lin Qingluo obediently smiled, thus, her mind was put at ease, and she no longer persuaded Grandma Mu.
Grandma Mu's gaze was gentle, “You seldom come, stay in Wu Mountain for a few more days and chat with Grandma.”
“Alright.”
Lin Qingluo obediently agreed, and with a flicker of thought, summoned a group of little elves.
“Grandma, Grandma.”
The Little elves flew out of The Orb, happily calling out to Grandma Mu as they competed to fling themselves on Grandma Mu.
“Hehe, good, good. My sweeties.”
Grandma Mu held the plump, rosy little milk babies, her eyes curled with laughter.

Lin Qingluo stayed at Wu Mountain for three days. Before leaving, she left behind a recently born pair of Fire Python Tiger cubs to accompany Grandma Mu in her and Mu Fan's stead.
Grandma Mu escorted her to the entrance of Wu Mountain. Only when Lin Qingluo's graceful figure in green flitted away on her Sword and disappeared from view, did she reluctantly retract her gaze.
Lin Qingluo, with two Immortal Envoys, left Wu Mountain and arrived in the endless snow-covered hinterlands.
Jiang Feng used a secret technique to carve the Teleportation Array into empty space.
A ring with swirling runes appeared in the clear blue sky. The three of them stepped into it, and the ring disappeared without a trace. The empty sky returned to its tranquil state, as if nothing had occurred.
After a stick of incense went by, they reappeared in a valley outside Capital City. Lin Qingluo, missing home deeply, immediately flew up on her Sword towards the city gate.
