Endless Sea

The next morning, Ye Futian found Little Butterfly in the Herb Garden to say goodbye to her. 

Little Butterfly looked up at Ye Futian, smiled, and said, "I knew this day would come, but when it comes time to actually say goodbye, I can't do it. It seems like I've gotten used to you these past few days. See you next time, although I don't know how many years it'll be."

"I'm the same way. If you have a chance, come visit me in the Barren State," Ye Futian responded.

"Mm." Little Butterfly nodded. "Are you going to return directly to the Barren State?"

"No, I'll probably go out and see the world a bit. Once they get back, I will return." The "they" he was talking about were those who had left with Xia Qingyuan. Little Condor was in the palace. As soon as they got back, he would know.

"Where do you want to go?" asked Little Butterfly?

"The Endless Sea in the Ocean State," said Ye Futian.
