Once at the Chu residence, Zhin Zhuan immediately searched for the whereabouts of Lady Chu Jeong Byun who was taking care of her flower garden.
"Auntie..," said the golden pheasant elf with a stifled voice as her heart was so poignant mixed in confusion as to how she could convey the news of Chu Pian Ran's death to the middle-aged woman.
Seeing the figure of Zhin Zhuan standing beside her left nervously and watery red eyes, Madam Chu Jeong Byun immediately approached the beautiful fairy.
"You why Zhuan'er? You've been crying, haven't you? What's going on?" scowl the middle-aged woman while staring fixedly at the golden pheasant fairy.
Zhin Zhuan was still silently fixated as both of his hands clenched tightly on each side of his body and his lips were cuupped yet unable to open his voice.
Witnessing the strange attitude of the golden pheasant fairy, Madam Chu Jeong Byun became confused for a moment and suddenly came 'bad thoughts' about her daughter that earlier this morning the middle-aged woman had already gotten word from Zhin Zhuan if Chu Pian Ran was not in the Lee residence for leaving without a say.
"You said you were going to find Ran'er, right? Now where is he? Why don't you go home together?" madam Chu Jeong Byun continued by tightly holding onto Zhin Zhuan's two shoulders as her eyes stared intently at the golden pheasant fairy.
Unable to hold back her pain, the beautiful fairy returned to crying with her head bowed.
That unnatural attitude of Zhin Zhuan must have instantly made the middle-aged woman become frightened and panicked.
"Why silence Zhuan'er?! Where is Ran'er now?! What happened to him?!" Madam Chu Jeong Byun raised her voice while shaking the two shoulders of the golden pheasant elf which of course attracted the attention of some female servants who happened to pass by or be near the two of them.
For a moment, the servants who witnessed the unusual sight stopped their activities because they were curious about what was really going on until their master raised his voice to Zhin Zhuan.
"Sister Ran'er... Brother Ran'er..," the golden pheasant fairy still could not tell the truth by still streaming her tears as she pleased.
"Chu Pian Ran why Zhuan'er?!" the middle-aged woman impatiently waited for the reply from the golden pheasant elf while still shaking both shoulders of Zhin Zhuan.
"Sister Ran'er died aunt, his spirit was wiped out after fighting with the demon Qing Liong...," with a stammering voice finally the golden pheasant fairy was able to give a clear reply even though it was very heavy in her heart.
For a moment, Madam Chu Jeong Byun's body froze with half-turned eyes in front of Zhin Zhuan.
"No way, Ran'er can't possibly die! You lied to Zhuan'er?!" said the middle-aged woman still did not believe the volume of a fairly high voice that of course can be heard clearly by some servants who were listening to the conversation they both had and it immediately made the servants were shocked.
"That's right aunt, many demons and animals in Jinfeng forest also saw the destruction of Ran'er's brother's spirit, even Fairy Jinfeng Zhui his condition now is also very severe...," obviously the golden pheasant elf who shortly afterwards news made Madam Chu Jeong Byun's body go limp and finally fainted.
Seeing his master faint, some female servants who were standing near the park immediately acted by carrying the middle-aged woman's body and laid her on the bed.
Meanwhile, Zhin Zhuan was still standing stiffly in place, crying as he pleased, his voice louder than before.
Shortly after, Aunt Chen came in a hurry and invited the golden pheasant fairy to sit on the chair in front of the main residence terrace and be questioned further.
After hearing Zhin Zhuan's words, he, Aunt Chen and some of the servants who were near the golden pheasant fairy were surprised instead of playing with sadness and still could not believe that their master's daughter had died so quickly and suddenlyarriving.
Immediately, Aunt Chen ordered three servants to inform Lee's residence, the Qin palace and the jewelry store where Lee Jiang Wook usually worked. Undeniably, the three mandated servants went straight to three different places.
A servant who got the part delivered the news in the Qin palace, arriving at the gate and reporting to the soldier, of course the report also made the soldier who heard it very surprised and still did not believe. However, once more detailed explanation from the servant if the destruction of Chu Pian Ran's spirit was witnessed by many creatures, then immediately the soldier ran towards the place where the trial was held regularly.
One of the prime ministers who was delivering his report in front of Emperor Qin also stopped his voice as soon as he saw the arrival of a soldier who seemed shocked and with a tense face.
"Why are you interrupting this trial of soldiers? Is there anything important you want to report?" asked the number one ruler man in the Qin territory was curious.
"In response to His Majesty the Emperor, there had just been a servant from the residence of Lord Chu Jeong Byun coming and informing him that Princess Nanyang had died. Mr. Chu Jeong Byun and Mr. Lee Jiang Xun were asked to return home now."
Hearing the report from the soldier, everyone in the courtroom was shocked, especially Mr. Chu Jeong Byun, Lord Lee Jiang Xun and Emperor Qin Shi Huang were up to his greatness.
"Is the news you're telling me really a soldier?" emperor Qin tried to confirm the truth of the news.
"Truely His Majesty the Emperor, that's what the servant said earlier."
Without waiting for a long time, the man of the number one ruler in the Qin region immediately dissolved the trial and ordered all his palace officials to return to their respective residences first before serving in the Chu residence.

Because no coffin was found in the residence, either, many mourners were wondering that soon they were so shocked to learn the truth that Mr. Chu Jeong Byun's only daughter had become a fairy who died without leaving a body.
For an hour, the faces of the mourners were implied by the grief of Chu Jeong Byun and Lee Jiang Xun's family.
Meanwhile inside the room, Madam Chu Jeong Byun had come to his senses from her stupor yet still continued to cry, sobbing, there was no exception Madam Lee Jiang Xun and Lee Chu Mian Yin who were lamenting in Lee's grandmother's arms.
Outside the Chu residence, though, also seen many residents of the Qin capital who came in turns to join his condolences as soon as they heard the news if the emperor's adopted daughter and the hero of the Qin region was declared dead after fighting with the demon Qing Liong.
As for welcoming and thanking the residents of the capital who came to the service, Aunt Chen had ordered some of the servants of the Chu residence confidant to represent the host.
Among the members of the royal family who came at the mourning event, the figure of Qin Wu Zhu who from outside the look of his face was cold as usual, but his heart was very painful.
The young general was remembered when he first saw firsthand the figure of Chu Pian Ran who managed to make him fall in love even until now the handsome young man was still difficult to let go of his feelings even though his expression of love had been rejected blatantly by that woman.
In addition, the second prince of Emperor Qin also remembered their togetherness while resolving some of the problems that occurred in the Qin region. Not spared also the memories when they ridiculed each other and insinuated that the truth was just a joke.
More than Qin Wu Zhu remembered, Lee Jiang Wook who was her husband Chu Pian Ran was very broken heart when he heard that his wife's spirit was destroyed aka died.
The young father holds a lot of memories passed along with the woman he loved so much that from childhood until now they have been blessed with a daughter who is now 7 years old.
During the household, there was never a fight because their marriage was based on mutual love and understanding.
Lee Jiang Wook does not know if the future moments he will be able to go through his days with the spirit as usual without the assistance of his beloved wife. However, once the young father was reminded of his daughter, inevitably he had to motivate himself to not look weak before Lee Chu Mian Yin.
Before 5pm, though, lord Chu Jeong Byun's residence began to be quiet from the visit of the mourners and the opportunity was used by the Chu family and Lee family to rest while arranging their hearts and minds so that they were given a deep rigor facing the very sad events they are going through right now.
That night, Lee Jiang Wook was hugging his daughter tightly on the bed of the young father's room.
After a long sleep apart with his parents, Lee Chu Mian Yin is now back to sleep on the bed but now only accompanied by his beloved father.
The little girl who has been 7 years and 4 months old really feels the loss of her beloved mother who has cared for and educated her wholeheartedly until she became an increasingly independent child and smart as it is now.
Too many beautiful and meaningful memories that he had passed with his beloved mother that made Lee Chu Mian Yin cry for the umpteenth time if she recalled all those memories.
"Father hope you don't become discouraged and sad for a long time after the departure of your mother, Yin'er...," lee Jiang Wook's voice broke the silence of the room trying to comfort his daughter while his right hand was still tightly hugging the little girl's body.
"Don't make all the sacrifices that your mother has made up to this point until she sacrifices her own life to try to destroy the evil demon that once wreaked great havoc on the human world," continued the young father.
"Yes father, Yin'er will try to stay strong even though mother is no longer beside Yin'er... Yin'er will continue to fight to make mom proud." said Lee Chu Mian Yin in a soft voice in her father's arms.
"Mom is happy in heaven, right, dad? I'm a good human mother and help others a lot" added the little girl reminded by the teaching her mother once gave that 'a good man must go to heaven'.
"Yes dear, now this mother is already happy in heaven, so Yin'er do not be too sad for long... If Yin'er continues to be sad, the mother who is already in heaven is also sad...," lee said Jiang Wook tried to include positive words to his daughter even though the young father himself was very difficult to practice.

News of the passing of Chu Pian Ran, the, day by day spread throughout the Qin region including at the headquarters of the soldiers at the border which of course the news made all residents in the headquarters very sad especially General Long Yuan.
The middle-aged man who was amazed several times with his adoptive nephew did not expect at all if upon his return from the Qin capital to the border, emperor Qin Shi Huang's younger brother instead received news of Chu Pian Ran's passing which he thought was so sudden.
In honor of all the services of his adopted daughter, Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered all the inhabitants of his palace and the residents of the capital to hold mourning days for 7 days.
In the Qin region, as well, the news of the passing of Master Chu's daughter Jeong Byun had also been delivered in the Han capital which of course the members of the royal family were very saddened to be mixed with shock as they did not expect at all if the demon Qing Liong the one sealed near the Han capital turned out to have escaped him and made Chu Pian Ran die without a trace.
Meanwhile in his cave the dwarves, as soon as the mini-humans heard the news from Zhin Zhuan if the spirit of young mistress Lee was wiped out after fighting with the demon Qing Liong. For several days, the dwarves agreed to hold mourning in memory of all the services of Chu Pian Ran.
Even though Zhin Zhuan was still in the stage of mourning and harboring deep sorrow for the departure of young mistress Lee, but because the golden pheasant fairy did not have the heart to let the dwarves experience the lack of food as before, so Zhin Zhuan also continued to supply raw food for the mini-humans.
