If it were someone else, they would be overjoyed to receive such a blessed opportunity, unable to express their gratitude, and would agree without hesitation.

We willingly wish to endure the sufferings of birth, old age, sickness, and death, and the cycle of reincarnation, rather than being separated as husband and wife for the sake of becoming immortals. We hope, Master, you understand."
The immortal lady laughed and said, "Although you both have a destiny with the Immortal Realm, each person has their own aspirations. Since you are unwilling, I shall not impose upon you. However, visiting this place is no easy feat. Why not stay for a few days before heading back?"
