“My father also said that if there were a medicine that allowed a father to live forever and witness his daughter’s
gradual aging and death, then that medicine would not be a miracle elixir, but a poison…” Maria’s voice trembled
with a mix of sorrow and anger.
“He insisted on dying in front of me, so he could find peace. I am still young, unmarried and have no concerns for
the future. After taking the Eternal Green Pill, I can live a fulfilling life of five hundred years…”
Maurina’s mind suddenly raced with a thought and he blurted out, “You mentioned that you are over three hundred
years old, so what about a child…”
Maria gave Maurina a stern look, her anger evident as she retorted, “My Lord, although I have lived for over three
hundred years, Nujia is still an innocent girl who has never been married… Besides, for many years, my family has
been pursued relentlessly, forcing us to constantly change our identities and locations. How could we have

Maurina quickly wore an apologetic expression and stammered, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”
Maria spoke softly, “My father specifically instructed me that to avoid forming too many attachments, I must
remain alone for the first four hundred years. Marriage was not allowed…”
Curiosity piqued, Maurina asked, “Why?”
Maria explained, “Because the effects of the Eternal Green Pill prevented my parents from growing old during the
first four hundred years. It is only in the last hundred years that they begin to age gradually… If I were to marry
during the first four hundred years, I would have to endure the heartbreak of watching my children grow old and
perish. Only after that time period would I start to experience the natural aging process.”
Maurina nodded, understanding the pain a parent would feel watching their children age while remaining eternally
young. He realized that Maria’s father had made a wise decision in giving her the Evergreen Pill and instructing her
not to marry for the first four hundred years.
Curiosity still lingering, Maurina inquired further, “What happened to your father then?”
Maria sighed, “At that time, my father suffered severe injuries with no other means of recovery. He had to stay
bedridden for recuperation, but luckily his life was not in immediate danger. If given enough time, he might have
been able to recover…”
After a momentary pause, Maria’s expression turned somber. “However, my father had informed me that the
person who had injured him would arrive in the southern province within half a month at the earliest. He urged me
to take the ring and leave home quickly to avoid being discovered. But I refused to abandon him…”
Her voice choked with emotion and tears welled up in Maria’s eyes. “On the seventh day after sending my father
back to the southern province with the ring’s help, he took advantage of my absence when I went out to buy
medicine. He left behind a letter and severed his own meridians, ending his life…”
Two hot tears rolled down her cheeks and Maria hastily wiped them away with her sleeves. Her voice trembled as
she continued, “After burying my father, I left home and embarked on a journey that lasted over three hundred

years…”
Maurina exclaimed, “You have been pursued for over three hundred years? By whom? The Warriors Den?”
Maria’s expression turned complex as she replied, “Actually, the Warriors Den was founded by my father and his
sworn brother and classmate, Cedric Mirren, when the enemy army attacking the region entered the capital. The
two brothers established the Warriors Den to expel the Tartars and fight
against their rule. However, after my father’s death, the Warriors Den underwent a drastic transformation and its
name became unrelated to its original purpose. The ones who hunted and pursued me were the later members of
the Warriors Den and their self-proclaimed lords.”
Maurina interjected, “The Lord who emerged after the Warriors Den, could it be Cedric Mirren?”
Maria shook her head, “No, it was Cedric’s younger sister, Morgana Mirren!”
