Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Tie Dan pointed to his bright red ears and complained, "Aunt Lin, look, my dad pinched my ears, and it hurts so much!"

Tie Dan glanced at the blacksmith's shop and, after making sure his father wasn't looking, cautiously said, "Aunt Lin, you don't know, my dad always beats me."

“I’ve seen other people beat their kids. Using belts and rolling pins is already ridiculous. My dad, on the other hand, has a whirlwind knee strike and a black tiger heart strike. He beats me with special moves. If I lose focus while striking the iron, he’ll immediately unleash a combo punch!”

Hearing Tiedan's words, Yao Xixue tenderly rubbed his head, then picked him up and said, "If your dad beats you again, come to Aunt Lin's place, and Aunt Lin will get justice for you."

"Aunt Lin is the best. Tie Dan likes Aunt Lin the most."

Tie Dan chuckled, then looked around and asked, "Aunt Lin, where's my Uncle Lin? I can't find him."

"Your Uncle Lin has gone back to rest. You can stay here tonight. I'll go and tell your father. Aunt Lin will also tell you the secret to my family's winemaking."

"Yeah."

Tie Dan nodded immediately, almost jumping up with excitement, and hurriedly said, "I've been waiting for you to say that, Aunt Lin. Uncle Lin is still sleeping, so I won't disturb him."

Yao Xixue stretched out her finger and gently pushed Tie Dan's head, then her gaze lingered on Lin Che, who had already fallen asleep.

With a deep exhale of warm air, Yao Xixue turned and left.

…………

Before we knew it, two years had passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two years, Lin Che's shop has gradually gained fame in the entire western part of the city. Although there are not many customers, it is still much better than not opening for a whole year back then.

Moreover, the people who came to buy were all wealthy and noble merchants, or even kings and generals, so the money they earned was enough for them to live a life of comfort.

Over the years, Lin Che has come to understand loneliness, a loneliness he knows he will continue to experience.

Compared to this loneliness, the feeling of being all alone in the world after everyone around you dies years later is the true loneliness.

Yao Xixue successfully put herself into the role of an ordinary person, and even when she spoke, she no longer addressed Lin Che as "senior," but as "Brother Lin."

In front of outsiders, she would also refer to him as her husband.

Although the two were not married, Yao Xixue became increasingly dependent on this young man and liked to stay by his side, feeling a special sense of security wherever they went.

The heavy rain today, after three consecutive days of rain, has flooded many areas within Dongling City.

Fortunately, his shop was located on a relatively high level, which is why nothing happened to him.

Lin Che stood at the entrance of the shop, hands behind his back, looked up at the sky shrouded in thunderclouds, and exhaled a breath of hot air, saying, "This heavy rain has been going on for three days now."

Yao Xixue took out a set of clothes and draped them over Lin Che's shoulders, saying softly, "The weather is getting colder, so wear more clothes here and be careful not to catch a cold."

"Good work."

Lin Che touched his chin, sensing the energy fluctuations in the air. He seemed to realize something, but he ignored it and continued living his ordinary yet fulfilling life.

Lin Che's appearance has also changed from a few years ago. He no longer looks like a young man, but rather a middle-aged man, with wrinkles gradually appearing on his face.

He deliberately used magic to achieve this, because if someone's appearance didn't change at all in six years, it would be unbelievable to the kind and simple neighbors around him. Besides, he was just a mortal; if he didn't age, wouldn't people think he was a demon?

Just then, Tie Dan's father walked in through the rain, carrying a roast chicken, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I just finished dealing with the matter from last time, so I finally had time to come out for a drink."

"It's alright, the room hasn't been cleaned yet, please make yourself at home."

Tie Dan's father nodded, found a place to sit down, looked up at Lin Che's seat and said, "Brother Lin, you're almost thirty years old, why haven't you thought about having children yet?"

"I can also tell you that it is dangerous for women to have children after the age of forty. You should hurry up and take care of your family. It is good to work every day, but you also have to take care of your family."

Tie Dan's father kept an eye on Lin Che's busy schedule every day, especially his daily brewing of wine, which he would finish brewing around dusk before going back to sleep.

Who could withstand such a body?

Moreover, Yao Xixue is a wonderful girl. She is not only capable but also incredibly beautiful. Many nobles dream of taking her as a concubine.

Lin Che doesn't know how to cherish things now, so as his older brother, I naturally have to have a good talk with him.

Lin Che glanced at Yao Xixue, who was filling bottles with wine, and said softly, "I understand, brother. Let's have a child when we have time."

"This is right!"

Tie Dan's father patted Lin Che on the shoulder and said seriously, "Brother Lin, if you have any questions, you can come to me. I have some energy-boosting stuff. Do you want some?"

Lin Che quickly waved his hand, refusing, "No need, no need, my body is strong enough..."

Upon hearing this, Tie Dan's father didn't say anything, but he still urged Lin Che to have a child soon so that he could take care of him in his old age.

……

After seeing Tie Dan's father off, Lin Che looked at Yao Xixue's position, then waved his right hand forward, and a special lotus root appeared in front of her.

"This is a lotus root used by cultivators to create puppets. It seems that if we don't make a puppet soon, we'll be suspected."

Upon hearing this, Yao Xixue's gaze lingered on the lotus root, and she frowned slightly, saying, "Brother Lin, do you want to seal the lotus root inside my stomach?"

"No."

Lin Che shook his head. After all, he didn't want Yao Xixue to end up like that. Moreover, the puppet would absorb energy from her body and seal it inside, which would do her no good.

"You can keep this puppet. Feed it with a drop of blood every month, and I'll give you a body like a pregnant woman. That should be fine, right?"

Yao Xixue touched her flat stomach, biting her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth, and said softly, "Actually... Brother Lin... I... I can... I can do it myself..."

Lin Che seemed to understand Yao Xixue's unspoken meaning and sighed deeply, saying, "Let's forget about it. I haven't thought about having a child right now... Besides, the average mortal's lifespan is a hundred years. Do you really want him to eventually turn into bones as time goes by?"

"But we can enable him to cultivate immortality, our strength..."

"That would break our resolve to follow the Dao."
