He no longer exists.
Shu Ye brought back Shin Furong who had already seen the scene earlier. He cried quite loudly while hugging Shu Ye's neck. Shu Ye himself had not expected this to happen so quickly and so painfully for anyone who saw it. He can't do much. He could only be silent from watching it.
”Do not cry. I'm sure everything will be fine.” said Shu Ye who tried to win Shin Furong.
”How can it be okay?” said Shin Furong as he buried his face on Shu Ye's shoulder. ”... Dad killed my brother. I will definitely not stay silent. He must be very sad about his passing. Moreover, the same thing was also experienced by Uncle Luu. Something will happen later.”
Shu Ye touched Shin Furong's back and said, ”No need to fear that will happen. I will definitely change it for the better.”

Luo Hein placed Shin Yixuan's corpse on a stone table surrounded by seven heirloom stones. His hands were filled with blood that did not belong to him. As he stared at the corpse, his tears broke and he sat down next to him crying for himself who could not protect his own family.
”Sorry. Ii'm sorry. I really can't think straight. You must have been scared when I threatened to take over your sister's body. Although this is not what you want but, you still have to do it for Shin Furong and Shin Buyen. I'm sure, someday they'll understand.”
Luo Hein pulled out his heart that had been dead a long time ago. He reunited the shattered crystals using his last strength. The crystal was then placed inside the hole, the marks of which he dug Shin Yixuan's heart out.
Instantly, Shin Yixuan's body was possessed by the thousands of hateful energies present in the place. A cold and gripping feeling was also felt by Luo Hein who was there. Then, shortly after the entire hate energy gathered within his body, Shin Yixuan's hair instantly turned white. His eyeballs slowly opened and showed a blood-red color that lit up in the middle of the darkness.
As if knowing that Shin Yixuan had now regained her life, the dying Luo Hein had asked, ”How are you feeling now? It's getting better?”
Shin Yixuan replied a moment later while closing her eyes, ”Can't be better than before. I think this will be my second death.”
Luo Hein smiled faintly. He rubbed Shin Yixuan's sweaty forehead and kept her white hair from getting wet. ”... Excuse me. I have to make you suffer. You must be so scared. I am so sorry and disappointed in myself for always acting rashly. Excuse me. Forgive me.” Luo Hein said sadly as he held Shin Yixuan's hand tightly. ”... I pledge. One day, I'll take it again. I will reincarnate again. Whether it is a human or a demon, I hope you can realize it.”
Shin Yixuan did not answer. He had since closed his eyes without doing anything that became his habit. Breathes. The crystal was adjusting to the current state of his body. If only his body was not strong to withstand such great strength and hatred belonging to everyone, his body would be destroyed.
”I have one request.” said Shin Yixuan with her voice sounding soft. Quickly, Luo Hein immediately listened to her words. ”... Protect Furong just like you protected me. I want him to stay alive and grow into a strong young man. I hope he's not sad at the moment.”
Luo Hein did not reply and expressed himself. It was a pity that he could not do his wish at this moment. Soon, he too will die. There was no way he would come back as a ghost who was running around scaring him.

A month later.
”Where will Brother Shu Ye go? Don't leave me here.” said Shin Furong who tried to restrain Shu Ye when he was about to leave his house.
Shu Ye was shocked and silent for a while. Shin Furong's face looked as sad as when he lost Shin Yixuan a month ago. He himself did not know what to do. For now, he could not take Shin Furong away with him. He might be afraid that something bad might happen to Shin Furong if he let his guard down just a little.
”Stay here. I'll find Yixuan and bring her back here. I'm sure he's still alive till now.” Shu Ye replied as she walked away leaving him.
Shin Furong looked sad. However, he also could do nothing but wait for her here. After an hour, he continued to stay in the same place while gazing towards the passing of Shu Ye as if hoping that he would return, at the same time, at the same time, Shin Buyen walked out of the house without looking at her while she was right next to her door.
”Where will Mom go? Don't leave me here.” said Shin Furong with his face that looks sad while holding Shin Buyen's hand.
Shin Buyen looked at him. His expression seemed empty, thinking of nothing at all. Lasting only a few seconds, Shin Buyen looked back to the front and forcibly pulled his hand back. He replied coldly, ”Not your business!” after saying so, Shin Buyen immediately walked away from the place.
Again Shin Furong was alone there. He sat pensively and thought about the current state of Shin Buyen. For the first time, Shin Buyen looked like that, especially as if he was hating her. Shin Furong was getting sadder. It was not just about Shin Yixuan's death before her eyes but rather, one by one the people who left left her.
Then, shortly after Shin Buyen left, it was now Luu Houyi's turn to walk away. And as soon as he saw her walking out the door, Shin Furong immediately hugged his thigh as if he did not want Luu Houyi to leave.
”Please don't leave me. I don't want to be alone.” said Shin Furong slowly.
Luu Houyi was very surprised when Shin Furong did that to him. He smiled as he patted his small head. ”... Just chill. I'm not going anywhere. I will only visit Rui's grave near here.” he replied.
Shin Furong instantly showed his sad face in front of Luu Houyi and said, ”Then, I am coming! I don't want to stay here alone.” he said with his pleading expression.
”Cannot. I have to go visit him myself. Rui is not happy if there is a stranger near her grave.” Luu Houyi replied as he let go of Shin Furong's handrails. He walked forward and a few steps later, Luu Houyi turned his head towards Shin Furong. ”... Take good care of yourself, yeah. In the end, everyone will go alone. Don't waste your energy crying. As a gift of meeting, I've made you an arrow. Take it and use your energy to practice.”
After saying so, Luu Houyi immediately walked away to leave her. Now, the house was no longer inhabited by anyone other than the six-year-old Shin Furong. He sat in the same place and hoped the three would return safely.
