Taoist Companion marks appeared on Aeron's and Nerida's foreheads, then faded from sight. From that moment on, the two were officially Taoist Companions.
They could now clearly sense each other's presence; a brand of the other's Primordial Spirit had been imprinted upon their own. This was something that would never disappear, no matter how many times they reincarnated. As long as one's Primordial Spirit remained undestroyed, the other could always find them through the Taoist Companion brand.
"This is wonderful, my wife."
Aeron took her hand, a smile spreading across his face. He was finally Nerida's Taoist Companion. He felt blissful at that moment, but it was a fleeting happiness.
Nerida pulled him into a tight embrace.
"I won't let you die."
Her gaze was resolute and her tone solemn as she spoke. "I will use a Secret Technique to keep your Primordial Spirit by my side. After that, I'll find a way to resurrect you."
"Okay. I'll do as you say."
Aeron gave a slight nod.
