Xiao Yecao’s downcast expression surprised Li Muyang.
Ever since this little girl stepped onto the path of cultivation, she had increasingly taken on the deanor of an immortal.
She seed to have everything under control, always smiling at everything and only occasionally showing her mischievous side with a sly grin, like a fox.
This Xiao Yecao, who had turned into a dark-hearted fairy, had not shown such a helpless expression in many years.
Even her words were filled with a sense of despair as if she was arranging her final affairs.
Sensing sothing was amiss, Li Muyang sighed, patted her shoulder, and consoled her,
“Then let’s go back to Black Cloud Village first and stay in the village for a while.”
Without pressing for details, Li Muyang first agreed to Xiao Yecao’s suggestion, deciding to accompany her back for so ti.
Li Muyang’s gentle tone made Xiao Yecao pause for a mont.
Then she looked up at the Elder Brother with warm eyes in front of her and couldn’t help but hug him tightly.
Xiao Yecao embraced Li Muyang tightly and said softly,
“Elder Brother is the best…”
This scene looked very heartwarming.
But at that mont, Ink Fairy’s voice rang out inappropriately.
“You… You, a descendant of the evil lineage, turn out to be a pretty boy living off a woman?”
“Being able to live off an immortal… you must be the first in history.”
“Why don’t you write a book and teach ?”
Ink Fairy spoke with a sarcastic tone.
But what was outrageous was that, although her words were sarcastic, her expression was very sincere and curious, and she looked at Li Muyang with admiration.
She was genuinely impressed by Li Muyang’s ability to live off soone and wanted to learn from him.
Hearing Ink Fairy’s voice, Xiao Yecao imdiately let go of Li Muyang and frowned at the red-clad Ink Fairy.
“Who is this…”
“Desolate Mountain, Ink Fairy.”
Ink Fairy declared her identity with confidence.
Then she continued, “I have so karmic entanglent with your Elder Brother, like he’s my friend. However, I’ve never t him, so it’s impossible for us to be friends… Do you know what’s going on?”
Ink Fairy looked puzzled, straightforwardly getting to the point with her question.
After a mont of silence, Xiao Yecao shook her head,
“Perhaps you’re mistaken. My brother has been with day and night for many years, sharing life and death. We’ve never seen you, nor could we possibly be friends with you.”
Xiao Yecao was also sowhat at a loss with this Ink Fairy.
Mainly because Ink Fairy’s personality was too strange.
As a fairy, she was blunt and outspoken, without any scheming.
She didn’t seem like a true immortal but more like a mischievous child.
Ink Fairy stepped forward, “Then can I travel with you? Since we all don’t have long to live, we might as well have fun together.”
Ink Fairy approached the two.
However, as soon as she took a step forward, Xiao Yecao’s gaze turned cold, and she calmly but seriously stepped in front of Li Muyang.
“Sorry, my brother and I have things to do, and we don’t have ti to entertain a fairy for fun. Please find soone else.”
After speaking, Xiao Yecao summoned a cloud under her feet, carrying Li Muyang away into the distance.
The Ink Fairy below pursed her lips in annoyance and muttered,
“What’s with the attitude…”
If it weren’t for the fact that the man was indeed a bit strange, she wouldn’t be interested at all.
Thinking this, Ink Fairy’s eyes glead.
She stepped on a cloud and rose into the sky, chasing in the direction of Fairy Yu.
“It’s more interesting to bother Senior Sister!”
Ink Fairy went off to pester Fairy Yu again, full of enthusiasm.
anwhile, Xiao Yecao and Li Muyang, riding a cloud, left, and seeing that Ink Fairy didn’t follow to bother them, they turned in the direction of Black Cloud Village.
The speed of an immortal’s cloud was extrely fast, capable of traversing the cosmic starry sky, so a distance of thousands of li could be covered quickly.
Before long, they arrived at the outskirts of Myriad Great Mountains and landed in a town outside the mountains.
Xiao Yecao was purchasing daily necessities, seemingly intending to settle down in Black Cloud Village for a while.
Li Muyang followed her, accompanying her in buying living supplies, without asking about the outco of the Zhenlong discussion.
After purchasing the supplies, they went directly to Black Cloud Village and saw Granny Gu again.
Faced with their return and even the shalessness of wanting to stay, Granny Gu looked hesitant as if wanting to scold them.
But Xiao Yecao, now an immortal, earnestly pleaded with Granny Gu to stay in the village for a few days.
Faced with the fairy’s coaxing request, Granny Gu fell silent for a mont before helplessly waving her hand.
“Alright, alright, go.”
“The house you lived in back then is still there, it hasn’t collapsed.”
“It’s just been abandoned for too long and needs so repairs.”
The little stilted building where Jiang Xiaoyu used to live still stood in Black Cloud Village, but it had been deserted for a long ti and was uninhabited.
When Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao returned with their bags, seeing the familiar stilted building, they felt as if they were in a different world for a mont.
The broken stairs, the crevices filled with cobwebs, and the peeling wall paint… The dilapidated building in view, although still maintaining its original fra, looked like it was about to collapse.
Xiao Yecao and Li Muyang had to spend ti repairing it.
Xiao Yecao, who was an immortal being, was now repairing the house like an ordinary mortal without using any magical powers.
It took the two of them three days to renovate the old house that looked like it was about to collapse.
The villagers from the neighboring houses watched curiously as these two strangers of unknown origin repaired the house in the village.
Finally, soone rembered the past and recognized Jiang Xiaoyu.
“Wow! It’s you guys who have returned.”
“Jiang Xiaoyu, and that girl you raised back then… what was her na, sothing grass?”
The villagers, recognizing their identities, were very enthusiastic.
Surrounded by neighbors, Li Muyang gave a slight smile and added: “Xiao Yecao.”
“Ah, right, right! Xiao Yecao!”
The villagers sighed, “That girl was such a poor child back then, drifting into our village at such a young age.”
“After you two left, we were worried… By the way, where is Xiao Yecao?”
After discussing the past, the villagers were curious about the current situation.
They surrounded Jiang Xiaoyu, who was now over forty with white temples, and asked curiously,
“Is this girl your daughter? She has grown up to be very beautiful…”
The villagers praised Xiao Yecao, who was standing by.
Li Muyang felt a bit awkward and smiled, “Well… she is Xiao Yecao.”
Xiao Yecao, who had attained immortality and retained her youthful appearance, still looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
Li Muyang, with his aged appearance, was cast in the role of a father or elder.
Upon hearing Li Muyang’s words, the villagers were imdiately astonished.
“She is Xiao Yecao? Wow!”
“She hasn’t aged at all over the years!”
“Has she been cultivating? Cultivation is wonderful…”
The villagers, unable to cultivate, genuinely admired those who could.
