I swear, I have absolutely no personal relationship with Fuzi.

If I had known earlier that Fuzi would show me such a desperate, longing, and helpless expression, I would have asked him to help me become an immortal long ago.

"Do you really not remember anything at all?" Fuzi's gaze was filled with sadness.

I sat up, touching the hole in my chest, and smiled ingratiatingly, "Lord Hao, what do you think I should remember?"

Hao sighed helplessly and placed his finger on my forehead.

A thousand years ago, two carp fish, one black and one red, made a pact to leap over the Dragon Gate together.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that only the carp fish that was a true dragon could leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a dragon.

On the day when the Dragon Gate opened, the black carp leaped up and soared into the sky as a dragon, while the red carp followed closely but was shaken apart by the Dragon Gate.

The black dragon couldn't forget the happy days when he was a carp fish with the red carp. He has been searching everywhere for a way to save the red carp.

One day, the black dragon encountered a tiger in the mountains.

The tiger asked him, "Can I eat you?"

The black dragon asked, "Why should I let you eat me?"

The tiger said, "Because I'm about to starve to death. If I eat you, I'll have enough strength to go home."

The black dragon let the tiger eat his physical body, and his soul followed the tiger home, witnessing the tiger nurturing its cubs.

Later on, the tiger died.

The black dragon took over the tiger's body and raised the pair of cubs, while also protecting the mountain people in that area. He accumulated merits while seeking a way to resurrect me.

When Buddha found the black dragon, he had already lived for hundreds of years as a tiger.

Buddha took the tiger to the Western Paradise, helped it regain its true dragon form, and gave it the name Hao. Buddha also informed him of the red carp's manifestation in the mortal realm.

The red carp was no longer a red carp but a beautiful ghost on a burial mound.

"Buddha, is there a way to make her ascend and become an immortal?"

He always remembered the red carp's longing for the immortal realm.

Buddha smiled and said, "In the path of human cultivation, there are three tribulations, but in the path of ghost cultivation, there are seven agonies."

Hao nodded, "I will accompany her."

Thus, Buddha sent him into the cycle of reincarnation and came to find me.
