Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 269 Cultivation of Immortality
We welcome the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

From this day forward, people went back to work and opened their doors, and the Spring Festival mode gradually came to an end.

After breakfast, Xixi drove Liu Jing straight to Jingzhou.

She wanted to deliver the freshly written script to the leading actress.

Wherever Sisi goes, whether visiting relatives and friends, going to work, or returning to school, she never arrives empty-handed; her trunk is always full of gifts.

This year, Anjia's holiday gift selection is quite unique. Two items are essential: a box of revitalizing cream and a box of health-preserving pills.

The Rejuvenating Cream was a byproduct of that original formula, while the Kangmei Health Pills were the result of research.

In addition to Kangmei, the Rejuvenating Cream is also authorized to be sold by Huayang, while Kangmei Health Pills have not yet been launched on the market.

The marketing department's plan was launched along with "Kangmei's Love".

Some female celebrities have been quietly endorsing the product, and the revitalizing cream is very popular and has been in short supply.

Zhang Min was very busy before the Lunar New Year and didn't have time to come to Chunqiu because Huayang's business was just too complicated.

This store supplies goods, that store doesn't; some stores supply more, some don't—everyone has complaints.

Many of the franchise owners were acquaintances of Zhang Min and had quite a background, so they were all difficult to deal with.

Ultimately, Zhang Min had no choice but to work with her team to develop shipping regulations and ordering software, even before she had a proper New Year.

From now on, we will purchase goods according to regulations and system evaluation.

Liu Jing wasn't very interested in these things. He looked at Huayang's financial statements from last year, which showed a profit of over 40 million yuan. This was after Zhang Min invested a significant amount of money to upgrade stores and purchase real estate; otherwise, the profit would have been even higher.

Regardless of whether it's a directly operated store or a franchise store, a mandatory requirement is that the property must be owned.

For franchise partners, this single point alone filters out many people who lack the necessary capabilities.

With Xixi driving, Liu Jing felt at ease and sat comfortably in the passenger seat.

I walked and stopped, stopped and went, the real purpose of which was to relax.

Liu Jing understood that he had a wonderful wife at home, a virtuous wife at home.

He was just a little gloomy, but unlike Shu Chang, he didn't have any mental health issues.

He happily accepted his wife's heartfelt affection.

"Hey! Why are you so serious this time?" Qianqian opened the window, and the cold wind blew in, completely clearing Liu Jing's slightly dizzy mind.

“I’m a rather stubborn person. When Yuanyuan mentioned this to me last year, she also suggested making a film about it. At the time, I wasn’t too keen on it, just like my aunt said, exploiting suffering. This time, provoked by Lu Chuan, my stubbornness kicked in. Making this film might be thankless work and could even attract criticism. When you’re financially secure, you can’t always think about profit. You have to do something meaningful, something you want to do. Many things don’t have a reason; you just want to do them.” Liu Jing closed the window, worried that Qianqian would catch a cold.

"She's really stubborn, like a donkey," Sisi said with a grin.

"Being stubborn is better than being concerned with saving face; being obsessed with saving face will only bring suffering," Liu Jing mocked.

"You're right, so you're dating my best friend, and I have to grit my teeth and swallow it, pretending to be very magnanimous," Sisi sneered.

"Ahem, where are we? Almost there, right?" Liu Jing changed the subject.

"So eager to see the leading lady? We just left home ten minutes ago, we haven't even gotten on the highway yet. You're no good, you're so bad at changing the subject."

"Haha, one's a stubborn mule, the other's obsessed with saving face even at the cost of suffering, we're a perfect match." Liu Jing laughed.

"Tch! You've definitely been eyeing me since we were kids."

"Big sister, you were the one who made your move on me first."

"Oh, what if I get married?"

"I would definitely cripple him... cough cough, I'm not that violent."

"You're such a jerk." Sisi smiled. "From childhood to adulthood, you've beaten up anyone who got close to me, leaving me with no friends."

Liu Jing had complete confidence in Qianqian's driving skills, and he dozed off in the passenger seat.

The car's air conditioning was on, and it was so warm and cozy that it made me want to sleep.

As Sisi was talking, she suddenly realized that no one was holding her. She glanced over and realized that Liu Jing was asleep.

She curled her lips into a smug smile, "You little rascal, you'll never escape my grasp."

She was always the one initiating the relationship with Liu Jing. Liu Jing's feelings for her weren't just pure love; they went beyond love altogether.

Sisi understood this and was also troubled by it, always feeling that there was some distance between the two of them.

Since ancient times, routines have won people's hearts. Zhang Min told her a lot of ways to manage her husband, and they were specifically designed for Liu Jing.

Sisi tried it out and found it to be incredibly useful.

She hummed a little tune, but suddenly became unhappy again, because Zhang Min had taught her these things.

If Zhang Min were to put it into practice herself, she would definitely be more adept and achieve better results than she was.

"Forget it, I'll just consider it supporting my mother-in-law." Sisi sighed. No one is perfect, and life is never perfect.

Zhang Min taught her these things, but she didn't learn them on her own initiative, nor would she have sought out Zhang Min on her own initiative.

Instead, Zhang Min noticed the problems in the two children's relationship and took the initiative to approach Qianqian to offer guidance.

"You're sleeping so soundly. We don't even know where Zeng Li's house is. Jingzhou is a huge place. We really lost Jingzhou because of carelessness." Qianqian looked at Liu Jing's sleeping face and really wanted to pinch his cheeks.

She drank Red Bull the whole way, but still couldn't wake Liu Jing up.

A text message was sent, and in less than ten minutes, Zeng Li received all her information.

Zeng Li, born on September 17, 1976, in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, is of Manchu ethnicity. Her parents are divorced. Her former home address was…, and her current home address is…. Family members… Height: 171cm, Weight: 55kg, Measurements:…

During my childhood, I studied physical education, vocal music, and dance at the Jingzhou Children's Palace. Later, I joined the Young Pioneers Song and Dance Troupe to learn rhythmic gymnastics, and my performance was as follows...

In 1988, she was admitted to the Affiliated High School of the Central Academy of Drama to study Peking Opera performance, specializing in Qingyi (a type of female role in Peking Opera). The program lasted seven years, and she was a student in the same youth opera class as Qin Hailu and Yuan Quan. She is skilled in repertoire including "The Drunken Beauty" and "Farewell My Concubine," and her performances…

She graduated from the High School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Drama in 1995 and was assigned to the Hubei Provincial Peking Opera Troupe. The following year, she continued her studies and was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, ranking third in her major…

First love...

Even after getting off the highway, Liu Jing showed no signs of waking up. If he knew how capable Qianqian was at intelligence gathering, he wondered if he would still be able to sleep so soundly.

Sisi parked the car on the side of the road, browsed carefully, and pondered to herself, "Vocal music, dance, gymnastics, Peking Opera, acting, should I learn a few more subjects?"

The address is very specific, down to the house number.

Zeng Li's hometown is in the city, but she was not at home. Instead, she stayed at a relative's house in the countryside, where she spent the entire Spring Festival.

Sisi followed the navigation, but the road became increasingly remote. The road conditions were poor, and even with a smooth drive, Liu Jing still woke up.

"Big sister, you didn't drive your car into the ditch too, did you?" It took Liu Jing a while to come to his senses. Zeng Li was from the city and came from a well-off family. She was obviously driving into the village.

"Oh my god, you're finally awake! Get out of the car, get out of the car, I want to see!" Sisi couldn't contain herself; she had been captivated by the scenery of the fields for a long time.

If Liu Jing hadn't been sleeping soundly, she would have gotten off the bus long ago.

Although she drove further and further off the beaten path, she wasn't worried at all. With a bodyguard by her side, she dared to go anywhere and venture into any territory.

"What's so interesting about this? It's just vegetables, crops, and clods of dirt..."

Liu Jing was very reluctant, but Qianqian opened the car door and ran out, stepping into the farmland with uneven feet, so he had no choice but to get out of the car.

"The ground is quite wet, you... never mind." Liu Jing didn't want to remind him anymore. His white shoes, which cost several thousand yuan a pair, were already stuck in the mud, and it was too late to remind him.

Sisi didn't care at all, shouting and yelling without any manners, "Wood, look, the spinach has grown so tall!"

"That's rapeseed."

"Rapeseed? Why is there no oil?" Sisi picked a few leaves and held them under her nose to ask.

"The rapeseed hasn't flowered yet. The flowers that do flower are called rapeseed flowers, the seeds that grow are called rapeseed seeds, and the oil that is pressed from them is called rapeseed oil," Liu Jing explained patiently.

"When does it bloom? I've read about it in a book, it's so beautiful, let's come and see it then," Sisi said, full of anticipation.

Liu Jing's words of refusal turned into a different explanation: "These are flower buds. They will bloom in about half a month. I'll take you to Wuyuan then; the rapeseed flowers there are even more beautiful and plentiful."

"Okay!" Sisi was delighted, but her attention quickly shifted. "I know, I know, this is chives. I hate chives, I'll never eat them. Next time you finish eating chive dumplings, don't kiss me, kiss Li Xiaoran instead."

"Those are garlic sprouts," Liu Jing said, expressing his desire to try them. He wasn't interested in kissing, but he was very interested in Big White's big white...

"Wood, come quick! I'm sure I guessed right, these are tomato seedlings," Sisi said confidently.

"That's a chili pepper."

"Ah! You're kidding me, right?"

She ran from one vegetable patch to another, her legs and feet covered in mud, but Sisi was having a great time.

She had long forgotten about sending the script; she was just trying to relax anyway, and as long as she achieved her goal, it didn't matter whether she made an excuse or not.

Liu Jing wasn't in a bad mood; she had a lot of fun. She even went into the vegetable shed and picked some green beans from someone's plants.

"Big sister, you're stealing." Liu Jing was helpless; he couldn't stop her no matter what.

There was a half-meter-high gap under the vegetable greenhouse, which the owner used for ventilation. Qianqian crawled right under it.

Covered in dirt and mud, looking utterly disheveled.

"Wood, did you take the money? I think I've been arrested," Sisi whispered from inside.

Liu Jing didn't mind the dirt and quickly crawled inside, only to find Qianqian staring at a middle-aged couple.

"Which side of the family are you from? I don't recognize some of you." The uncle scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"A relative?" Sisi asked in surprise.

"You look familiar, but I just can't remember who you are." The uncle racked his brains, and his relative thought it over again, but still couldn't place the name.

"She looks familiar too, like...like the little girl from my second uncle's family." The aunt wasn't quite sure.

"It really is true, it's been ten years since I last saw you. You've all grown up so much in the blink of an eye." The uncle breathed a sigh of relief. His wife still has a good memory and sharp eyes.

If relatives come to the shed looking for you, and you don't recognize them, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. In rural areas, the New Year celebrations are not over yet, and many relatives have not been visited.

When the uncle saw Qianqian go into the vegetable shed, he subconsciously thought that her relatives had come.

"Second Uncle's house?" Qianqian blinked, somewhat confused.

"How is your second uncle's health? He was sick last year and had to go to the hospital immediately," the aunt asked.

“Brother and sister-in-law, I’m sorry, you’ve got the wrong person. We’re not your relatives, and of course, we’re not thieves. We’re visiting relatives and just passing by. My sister grew up in a small town and has never seen these things before, so she’s a little curious. If she picks anything or breaks anything, we’ll pay for it,” Liu Jing quickly explained.

Sisi secretly pinched me, taking advantage of me. I'm the older sister, not the younger sister.

"It still looks familiar, like I've seen it more than once before," the woman muttered.

"Hehe, Auntie, I have a very common face. Many people say I look familiar when they see me." Sisi smiled brightly.

Liu Jing suddenly turned his head and looked at Qianqian strangely, "You really know how to talk."

Sisi had more to say, and perhaps it was her words that convinced the older woman. Perhaps it was her smile that touched her heart.

The older woman stopped loosening the soil and digging ditches; instead, she took Qianqian to pick vegetables in the greenhouse. "These are green beans, this is eggplant, this is cilantro..."

Liu Jing didn't sit idle either; he took over from the older woman and started doing farm work.

Sisi and the aunt ran around the shed, while Liu Jing chatted with the uncle. This is life.

After more than an hour, Sisi had completely had her fill of fun, and she was so dirty that it was hard to look at her.

Carrying two large bags of groceries, Liu Jing offered them money, but they refused to accept it no matter what.

Sisi took two boxes of gifts from the trunk, but the other party still wouldn't accept them. She put them on the ground, and the couple chased after her and returned them.

Finally, Sisi said helplessly, "Uncle, Auntie, it's Chinese New Year, please treat us as distant relatives."

Upon hearing this, the other party accepted the gift with a smile.

"The distant bells echoed in the rain, and we listened hand in hand under the eaves. We imagined the wedding in the church, a blessing for us..." Sisi sang, her voice filled with joy and excitement.

Liu Jing really wanted to say, "You didn't come here to help me relax, you came here to relax yourself."

He didn't discourage anyone from taking a break, as long as they were happy.

The navigation was reliable; Zeng Li's location was not a small village, but a town.

The market was bustling with people, making it difficult to drive through.

The two parked their car in the parking lot. Luckily, two of the gifts were missing, otherwise it would have been really difficult to carry them.

This time, Sisi was very careful. She put on the hood of her down jacket and wore sunglasses, afraid that her ordinary face would be exposed and cause chaos.

Sisi's information was more reliable; she casually asked a passerby and found out the address of Zeng Li's relative's house.

It's infuriating that Liu Jing called Zeng Li before getting out of the car, but no one answered.

He couldn't help but wonder if Zeng Li's prompt response to his aunt's call, but her failure to answer his, meant she categorized him as a different kind of person.

"This seems to be the place." Sisi was very excited; everything in the small town felt new and exciting to her.

She secretly made up her mind to leave as soon as she delivered the script and not linger.

For her, Jingzhou was not unfamiliar; it was a return visit to a familiar place.

This was the first place our family traveled to more than ten years ago.

As for Liu Jing's first trip outside of Beijing, it was to Yandu, which was considered a business trip, and he didn't even take her with him.

She has little memory of the story left; only some photographs reveal the details.

Today is an important day, of extraordinary significance.

She has many plans: first, to visit rural markets, then stroll along the ancient city wall of Jingzhou, and finally, to see the temple fair at the Guandi Temple.

After all that, it will definitely be dark. Then we'll enjoy the local delicacies of Jingzhou and check into the most expensive hotel.

That year, she was twenty years old, and Liu Jing was nineteen.

On this day, she felt that the right time, the right place, and the right people were all in place.

The date is the fifth day of the first lunar month, commonly known as "Po Wu" (破五). During the New Year period, there are many taboos, but from this day forward, there are no more taboos.

The location was advantageous; Jingzhou was an ancient city, and it was the place where the two of them first traveled.

People are harmonious, very harmonious, no one is disturbing them, they can be harmonious however they want.

Liu Jing didn't hear a word of how much Sisi was scheming; he didn't even hear what Sisi said.

My relative's house is a self-built two-story building with a very tall gate.

Unlike in the city, many houses here have their doors wide open.

Therefore, the situation in the courtyard was clearly visible.

Zeng Li, wearing a brightly colored cotton-padded jacket, squatted under the eaves, holding a porcelain bowl in her hands. She had no time to answer the phone.

The porcelain bowl was quite large, filled with noodles. Da Qingyi used chopsticks to pick up the noodles and was putting them into his mouth.

With a joyful smile on his face, it looked like the bowl of noodles smelled quite good.

Liu Jing's arrival was clearly unexpected for her. Their eyes met, and they remained silent for a full six or seven seconds.

Sisi also fell silent. Is this country bumpkin from the Central Academy of Drama? Did I receive the wrong message?

"Hey, how about a bowl of Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)?" Zeng Li broke the silence.

"There's meat in the fried sauce," Liu Jing reminded her. "Pfft..." Qianqian laughed, then turned her face away; that would be too impolite.

Thanks to Liu Jing's tireless promotion, everyone in the Daqingyi community knew about the vegetarian diet.

Zeng Li's face fell. "You brat, do I need you to remind me? This is clearly sauce, there's no meat in it."

She was very unhappy. She had been craving this for a long time, and she had just taken a bite when she was caught red-handed.

I definitely can't eat anymore.

Zeng Li put the bowl aside, stood up to greet her, and asked, "You must be Yi Fei?"

"Sister Zeng Li has a good eye. Even dressed like this, you can still recognize me," Qianqian said with a smile.

“You’re a big star, everyone knows you.” Zeng Li smiled too. If you hadn’t smiled, I really wouldn’t have recognized you.

"Sister Zeng Li, we've brought you the script. This is..." Qianqian got straight to the point, explaining the reason first.

Liu Jing spoke with Zeng Li's relatives, and after repeated polite exchanges, he put down several boxes of gifts.

Turning around, I quickly took out my phone from my pocket and snapped a few pictures.

Two hundred years ago, he wore a floral cotton-padded jacket and big cotton-padded shoes.

The fairy was dressed normally, but her trousers and shoes were covered in mud, and her down jacket had green and yellow streaks, which were caused by her digging around in the vegetable garden.

These two would look out of place on their own, but when they stand together, it's like a chemical reaction is happening.

One is so down-to-earth, the other is not; they both unexpectedly appeared on camera.

"What are you doing? Don't take pictures like that." Zeng Li turned her back; if this image got out, her image would be completely ruined.

"Don't worry about him, he's incredibly boring. He'll probably just take pictures of me looking bad." Sisi didn't care. She'd just take a few pictures and if one of mine got out, she'd send ten of yours.

"..." Zeng Li was speechless. It was fine if he took pictures of you, but the problem was that he also took pictures of me.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zeng Li asked.

"I ate it," Liu Jing replied.

Sisi definitely didn't want to eat here, so she simply answered that she hadn't eaten, to avoid making things awkward for her.

"I didn't eat," Sisi replied.

It seems inappropriate for Mu Tou to leave right after coming all this way to see Zeng Li. Let him have a meal here before leaving.

The two spoke in unison, but their meanings were completely different.

"Alright! I'll go get the rice." Zeng Li shrugged. These two little cuties, I don't know what's gotten into them.

"I'll do it, I'll do it..." Sisi quickly followed into the kitchen.

She used the excuse of delivering the script to achieve her own scheme, and felt a little guilty towards Zeng Li.

As a result, Liu Jing ate the most awkward meal of his life.

Under the watchful eyes of his family, he squatted under the eaves and ate noodles with soybean paste.

There was no way around it; Sisi was squatting like that too, so he couldn't escape it either.

Sisi liked it, thinking the pose was cool, acting like she'd never seen anything like it before.

Zeng Li didn't eat the noodles with soybean paste, but ate two cucumbers instead. Since Liu Jing had exposed the emperor's new clothes, she was too embarrassed to continue eating.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qianqian said goodbye, and Zeng Li saw them off with a bewildered look on his face.

"Weren't you supposed to send me a script? Where's the script?" She didn't dare ask.

The guests skipped and hopped around Liu Jing, moving around him from front to back, left to right, and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

"Wood, come quick, there's a huge cow."

The market wasn't big, and the two of them quickly finished browsing and bought quite a few trinkets.

On the way back to the parking lot, we passed a farmhouse where an old yellow ox was grazing.

Sisi doesn't recognize various crops, but she knows livestock very well.

She was neither polite nor afraid, and went straight into the yard.

"Be careful, if it kicks you, it'll hurt," Liu Jing warned. Cows are generally docile and won't kick people.

"Look what it's doing! Take a picture of us together." Sisi posed.

"It's eating grass, what's so interesting about that?" Liu Jing complained, but still took a picture of them together.

"I thought of an idiom, 'an old ox eating tender grass.'" Sisi grinned, patting the ox's belly without a care for the dirt, and even talking to the ox, "Old ox, old ox, isn't the tender grass delicious?"

"I also thought of an idiom, 'playing the lute to a cow.'" Liu Jing took a few more photos, which were much better than posed ones.

"I'll give it a try." Sisi said enthusiastically, turning on her phone and playing a Spanish bullfighting tune.

"Holy crap, Liu Yifei, you're really something." Liu Jing was utterly astonished; he'd never seen anything like this before.

He stepped forward to pull Sisi away, but the cow sneezed, and a clump of grass landed on Sisi's head, along with a lot of saliva.

Sisi quickly jumped away, "Wood, it's bullying me, you fight it one-on-one."

Liu Jing didn't help her get revenge, and ignored her completely, busy taking pictures.

“Liu Jing…” Xixi was furious.

The sound startled the old ox, which turned its head to look at her, snorted, and then turned its head back to continue grazing.

"Was it...was it mocking me?" Sisi stammered. She felt that the cow's eyes were more expressive than Liu Shishi's.

"It's disgusted with you." Liu Jing chuckled, quite pleased.

As soon as Liu Jing finished speaking, the cow's tail flicked, hitting Qianqian as if shooing away a fly.

Sisi was furious and kicked the old ox, saying, "You won't fight it one-on-one, huh? I'll fight it one-on-one."

Liu Jing was shocked. "Big sister, you're really fierce, getting angry with an old ox."

He grabbed Sisi's waist, and his kick missed.

Sisi was very unwilling, and kicked back and forth with her two long legs, trying to kick the old ox.

And so, one of them hugged the other as they retreated, while the other delivered a series of kicks in mid-air, and they left the farmhouse.

Back in the car, Sisi was still furious. "The books are all lies. Niu is not honest at all."

"Dirty Xixi, you should clean yourself up." Liu Jing was too lazy to laugh. Even the most honest cow can't withstand your repeated provocations.

"It's okay, I'll just take a shower when I get back to the hotel tonight," Sisi replied.

"A hotel?" Liu Jing asked in surprise.

The original plan was to come in the morning and return in the afternoon. Won't that delay our return to Yandu tomorrow?

The old man doesn't like flying, so he booked a train ticket for tomorrow night this morning.

"Hey! Uncle said there's a temple fair at the Guandi Temple in Jingzhou during the first month of the lunar calendar, with lanterns, dragon dances and stuff. I want to see it. Let's go back tomorrow morning, okay?" Tianxian rarely acts coquettishly, and this time Liu Jing's bones melted.

What else is there to say? Not to mention staying one night, staying two or three nights is no problem.

Having achieved the second step of her goal, Sisi was very happy. However, the oblivious girl suddenly realized something was wrong. "What did you just call me?"

"Xixi," Liu Jing said with a slightly innocent expression.

"You called me Dirty Xixi, don't think I can't tell." Xixi gritted her teeth, "Damn blockhead, playing word games again, you're so mean."

"No," Liu Jing denied categorically.

"You're the one who's dirty, you're the one who's dirty..." Sisi hugged Liu Jing's head and wiped the dirt off her head and body onto Liu Jing's face and body.

"Hey! It's already two or three o'clock. If you don't leave soon, the Guandi Temple will be closed." Liu Jing had nowhere to hide; the passenger seat was in danger.

Sisi wouldn't listen at all and hadn't even wiped it clean yet.

Liu Jing casually picked up the script and tapped Qianqian's head twice, realizing something was wrong.

"Sisi, what brings you here this time?"

"I...I...I was delivering the script." Sisi felt guilty and stopped what she was doing.

"What is this?" Liu Jing handed the script to Xixi.

"Well, the Guandi Temple should close now." Sisi fastened her seatbelt and prepared to leave.

Liu Jing didn't care. He remained calm, believing that Qianqian had brought him here to relax.

Whether the script is sent or not is meaningless. Zeng Li will arrive in Yandu on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, ending the New Year mode. It won't make a difference if it's just one or two days.

Before visiting the Guandi Temple, we first explored the ancient city of Jingzhou.

"Wood, do you remember this place?" Sisi was fully armed, wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask.

She was completely covered up, so she clung to Liu Jing's arm without any hesitation.

“Of course I remember.” Liu Jing sighed as he stood on the city wall. “This used to be the capital of the Chu Kingdom, then called Ying. The ruins of Yingdu are nearby, more than two thousand years ago. The Chu Kingdom initially had its capital in Danyang, which was also the place where Chu rose to power. Later, in order to compete with other countries for Hanzhong, the Chu Kingdom moved its capital to Ying…”

Sisi stared intently, her eyes filled with boundless tenderness hidden behind her sunglasses.

From childhood to adulthood, she loved listening to Liu Jing tell her stories.

Talk about it when you're happy, and talk about it when you're unhappy.

Talk to them before bed, or even if you can't sleep.

From childhood to adulthood, he would talk whenever she wanted to.

He was a person with little patience, yet he used a great deal of patience on her.

Even after a thousand years, every story eventually comes to an end.

"Do you remember when we came here to play more than ten years ago?" Sisi asked softly.

“Of course! When we arrived, the city wall was under repair. You even tried to steal a few bricks, saying that your grandma’s shack was short of bricks. Actually, you heard from Uncle An that the city wall was built hundreds of years ago, and the bricks have a lot of historical significance, so you wanted to take them home to sell for money.” Liu Jing chuckled, as if she had traveled back from two thousand years ago to a little over ten years ago, and the little girl had grown into a young woman.

"I'm not that greedy," Sisi chuckled, having no memory of it at all, which must be great.

"anything else?"

"Also, you go around looking for human traffickers. Ask everyone you meet, 'Are you a human trafficker? Are you buying children?'" Liu Jing smiled.

Why would I contact them?

"Sister Li doesn't let you run around because she's worried that human traffickers will trick you into it. You're looking for human traffickers everywhere because you want to sell me."

"How can I..."

After exploring the ancient city, we went to the Guandi Temple and encountered a bullock cart on the way.

Sisi had something to say: "Wood, this cow is prettier than that one."

Liu Jing glanced at her a few times. They weren't the same species. She was truly beautiful, and he could tell what made her beautiful.

"Wood, do you think my child seal will be strong enough to beat that old bull after it's been strengthened?" Sisi asked.

"I can't beat him." Liu Jing answered with certainty. How much strength do you have? Old Niu has much more strength.

"You're such a blockhead," Sisi sighed. Wasn't my hint obvious enough?

Liu Jing genuinely didn't receive the code; he was telling the truth. The enhancement mainly manifested in a comprehensive improvement in physical fitness, not in making you fight Old Niu.

By the time the two arrived at the Guandi Temple, it was already getting dark. Sisi was like a wild horse, curious about everything.

Forget about going to a restaurant, even just street food is enough for Sisi to eat her fill.

As darkness fell, we returned home, our enjoyment exhausted.

"Front desk, two rooms, please." Liu Jing slammed his ID card on the table.

"Two rooms?" Sisi stared wide-eyed. You're not just made of wood, you're practically made of steel.

"You are... Liu Yifei?" The receptionist glanced at the ID card; the name was An Feng, but the photo looked familiar.

Upon closer inspection, the person in front of me is none other than the fairy sister.

"Shh! Hello, I'm Liu Yifei." Xixi took off her mask, signaling not to alert anyone.

"Mmm..." The receptionist nodded excitedly, "Can we take a photo together?"

"Okay." Seeing that there weren't many people around, Sisi readily agreed.

After successfully checking in, the two took their room keys and went upstairs.

Sisi bought new clothes, went back to her room to change, and soon knocked on Liu Jing's door.

"Wood, this isn't your mother's home."

"Then come in and cultivate immortality."

Liu Jing didn't understand anything, but at the Guandi Temple night market, he figured it out.

The distance from the door to the bathroom was only a few steps, but it took the two of them seven or eight minutes to walk.

With every step you take, you lose two pieces of clothing.

At the end, there was absolutely nothing to cover up.

The splashing water and the rustling rhythm were perfectly in sync at this moment.

Sometime later, the two returned to their bed and began cultivating immortality.

Just as he broke through to a higher realm and before he could even consolidate his breakthrough, his cell phone rang shrilly.

ignore!

It rang again.

Still ignoring it!

The sound continued.

We have no choice but to address this!

Liu Jing, holding Qianqian, picked up the phone from the ground. "It's Sister Li's call, what should we do?"

"Turn it off." Sisi didn't even glance at it.

"My phone is about to ring." Before Liu Jing could finish speaking, his phone rang.
