Strange love across time and space

The Phantom took Su Qing across thousands of mountains and ridges and came to the primeval forest where he grew up. The Phantom put Su Qing in the place where he had taken root. Su Qing slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and couldn't help laughing.

"Phantom, if I'm not mistaken, this is where you grew up before you turned into a human form?"

The Phantom nodded and said softly

"My dear is smart."

"Phantom, am I going to die soon? The pain in my body has gone but I feel so sleepy and I don't have any strength at all. If I fall asleep, will I never wake up? I don't know if I will travel to another world like last time after I die. Phantom, I can't bear to leave you."

Meiying's eyes turned red, and a tear fell onto Su Qing's face. She choked and said

"Don't worry, even if this body of yours dies, I won't let your soul leave me, Qingqing. Didn't you say you wanted to be a demon like me in your next life? I have a way to make your wish come true, but it may take a long time, maybe a hundred years, maybe two hundred years, or even longer. However, this amount of time is nothing to me. In short, you have to believe me, I will definitely keep you, and after you become a demon, we can be together for a long time."

Su Qing smiled and nodded, saying weakly

"Okay, I believe you. My Phantom will never lie to me. I really look forward to that day coming soon. When that time comes..."

Su Qing's voice became quieter and quieter, his eyelids slowly closed, and his arms dropped down.

Phantom finally couldn't help it, hugged Su Qing tightly, and screamed in pain. In an instant, all the trees in the forest trembled, and the leaves rustled, as if they were feeling sorry for the lovers. All the animals and birds fled in panic. It took a long time for the forest to return to peace.

The Phantom kissed Su Qing's lips deeply, then put Su Qing on the ground and revealed his true form. A white vine that could only be hugged by several people took root beside Su Qing. The vine had dense branches and leaves, and the vine flowers exuded bursts of fragrance. Then, a big hole slowly cracked in the trunk of the vine, and a vine fell down, slowly wrapped around Su Qing's body, and put her into the hole. Then, the hole slowly closed...

Ten years later, in this deep forest, a small white vine grew next to a thick white vine. It was only as thick as a little finger, and the small vine was wrapped around the big white vine. Underground, the phantom's well-developed root system continuously injected nutrients into the roots of the small white vine.

One summer a hundred years later, there were lightning and thunder in the sky, and heavy rain poured down. A bolt of lightning struck down and landed on the white vine that was entangled with the phantom. Then, the branches of the white vine moved, and all the vines quickly retracted. Slowly, the white vine turned into a human form, exactly like Su Qing a hundred years ago!

The Phantom also transformed into a human form at this time, looked at the people around him excitedly, and said with trembling lips

"Qingqing! You are finally alive!"

Su Qing was also crying with excitement

"Phantom, have I really turned into a vine monster now?"

Seeing the Phantom nod, Su Qing looked at her body happily. She couldn't help but turn around twice and tried to fly again. When she saw that she could really fly freely like a bird, Su Qing was very happy. The Phantom also flew to her side, took her hand and landed on the ground, and held Su Qing in his arms.

"My dear, now we can finally be together forever."

"Yes!" Su Qing nodded. "For so many years, you have injected me with spiritual energy and helped me absorb nutrients every day. That's why I can transform into a human form so quickly. Phantom, I'm lucky to have you."

But when she thought that she had waited for a hundred years, the Su family must have been gone long ago. Su Qing felt particularly regretful. Phantom saw her thoughts, stroked her face, and said lovingly:

"How about we go to Yong'an Country to see the descendants of the Su family?"

Su Qing shook her head. "Forget it. We won't recognize each other even if we meet. I'm also afraid of scaring them. Phantom, from now on, we will be a pair of wandering lovers, see the world's scenery, eat the world's delicacies, and rob the rich to help the poor along the way. How do you think?"

Phantom nodded, hugged Su Qing tightly, and sniffed the fragrance of her hair.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. As long as I can be with Qingqing, I can go anywhere!"

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky was blue. The two lovers in black walked out of the forest hand in hand. Behind them, the leaves rustled and the birds sang, as if bidding farewell to the lovers.
