Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Li Mu was so shocked because he sensed a Li trigram ☲ next to the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram formed by the condensed spiritual energy in his dantian!

Although this Li trigram pattern is fleeting, it is incredibly clear!

What the hell!

The strange movement of the primordial spiritual energy gave rise to a hexagram diagram. Was she also a primordial spirit host of the Heavenly Easing Saint Venerable?!

She's a hostage separated from the spirit realm?!

Why does my spiritual energy not react when I get close to her, but only when she touches me does it react?

Could it be that different primordial spirit protons trigger the abnormal movement of primordial spiritual energy in different ways?

Li Mu was utterly astonished and surprised, his mind buzzing.

He didn't expect to find another Yuan Soul Spirit Proton so quickly!

No, strictly speaking, he didn't find these two spiritual protons; they came to him on their own!

Didn't Mingyue also take the initiative to ask him for help on Qianlong Mountain?

This country girl seemed to be haunting Li Mu, as if she was determined to cling to him.

Originally, Li Mu had no intention of taking in this country girl, but now that he discovered she was actually a Spirit Transcendent Child, he was determined to keep her no matter what!

This is a life-saving savior sent by heaven!

But Li Mu never dreamed that this village girl had come with a mission from the demon Ma Tao.

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly realized why he couldn't get any information about the girl through divination before. It turned out that she was also a primordial spirit host of the Heavenly Easing Saint Venerable!

Li Mu couldn't help but wonder, could that snowflake of unknown origin also be a spiritual proton?

However, the way she triggered his Returning Origin Spiritual Energy was different, and it hasn't been triggered yet.

If that's really the case, then he's incredibly lucky!

"They've only received the inheritance a few days ago, and they've already found three primordial spirit protons?"

Regardless of whether the snowflake was real or not, at least for now we can be certain that this poor, homeless country girl is indeed the Spirit Progenitor.

"Well... okay, you can come home with me now."

After calming himself down, Li Mu put away the money in his hand and said to the girl.

"Yes, yes! Thank you so much, kind grandpa! Thank you!"

When Shi Tang saw that Li Mu had actually agreed to take him in, he was overjoyed and nodded his thanks repeatedly.

For her, being able to move into Li Mu's house meant that her younger brother's chances of survival had greatly increased!

"What's your name?"

After Li Mu brought Shi Tang home, he looked at her and asked.

"My name is Shi Tang," Shi Tang replied with a smile.

"Café? That's such a corny name!"

"It's not the cafeteria where we eat; it's the 'Shi' in 'stone' and the 'Tang' in 'crabapple'."

"Oh, where are you from?" Li Mu asked again.

"It's from Shijiatun, Gusong Town, Feixian County, Shannan Province," Shi Tang answered truthfully.

"Oh, you're from another province. Then you can stay at my place for now. I live alone, oh, and with my little girl. There's not much housework. If you want to help, you can cook or sweep the floor."

"I can do everything! Cooking, washing clothes, cleaning—I can do it all! Um… you don't look too old, you actually look quite young! I saw you doing pull-ups with one hand in the park during the day! You're really in great shape! Much stronger than many young men! Can I stop calling you grandpa from now on?"

Shi Tang first praised Li Mu, and then asked a question.

"So what do you want to call me?" Li Mu asked, blinking.

"I'll call you...Big Brother, is that alright?"

Clearly, Shi Tang is paving the way for her to work hard to become Li Mu's wife.

After all, if she keeps calling him grandpa, the generational difference is too big, and it's really inappropriate to talk about marriage in the future.

"Hahaha! You call me big brother? How old are you this year?"

Li Mu laughed and asked.

"I'm 27 years old today (by Chinese reckoning)!"

Shi Tang deliberately exaggerated her age, but in reality, she was not yet 26 years old.

"I'm over fifty years older than you. Do you think it's appropriate for you to call me 'big brother'?"

Li Mu's eyes widened slightly as he asked.

"Oh? Are you that old? I don't look that old at all! But I still want to call you Big Brother, wouldn't that make you seem younger? Don't you like that? If outsiders ask, I'll say I'm a relative of your friend, and I call you Big Brother because of my seniority."

"Um... fine, fine, call me whatever you want. I have no objection."

After thinking about it, Li Mu agreed with Shi Tang.

Actually, he also had his own little schemes.

This Shi Tang is a spirit-separated hostage; the only way to merge with her in the future will probably be through marriage.

Now that the other party insists on calling me "Big Brother," isn't that perfect?

Little did he know that Shi Tang was actually aiming to marry him.

The two simply had different goals.

While asking questions, Li Mu also deliberately sized up the country girl.

Actually, this girl is quite good-looking. She's tall, has fair skin, and is pretty. She's definitely a village beauty, but her clothes and style are a bit outdated.

From a man's perspective alone, Shi Tang is definitely the type of woman who can arouse desire.

In addition, the other person has clear eyes and looks very innocent, which gives off a natural and innocent allure.

"Brother, which room do I sleep in?"

Shi Tang immediately changed his address to Brother Li Mu.

Her calling him "big brother" really gave Li Mu goosebumps.

"Well, I'll sleep in that room then."

Li Mu pointed to the bedroom where his son and Liu Yanjuan used to sleep.

"Alright! Big brother, it's getting late, you should get some rest too! I'm sleepy too."

As Shi Tang spoke, she went into the bedroom and closed the door.

After closing the door, she clutched her chest and gasped for breath.

She felt her heart racing, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

She quickly sent a message to Ma Tao, telling him that she had been successfully taken in by Li Mu.

Ma Tao was thrilled and praised her in reply, then told her to hurry up and find a way to make Li Mu fall in love with her so they could get their marriage certificate as soon as possible.

At the same time, Ma Tao reminded Shi Tang again not to let Li Mu know that she was acting on his orders.

In fact, Shi Tang found that Li Mu was a kind-hearted person and seemed quite amiable. She also felt a strange sense of closeness to him, which made her feel even more guilty.

Although Ma Tao brainwashed her, she was a kind-hearted girl, and she felt guilty for deceiving such a kind old man for money.

No matter how guilty she felt, she could only say sorry and repent in her heart. For her brother's sake, she had to harden her heart.

At the same time, she was also thinking that at worst, she could just be nicer to the old man in the future, not insincerely, but genuinely kind to him.

Even if you don't actually have romantic feelings for him, you can at least treat him like an elder.

This can be considered a form of compensation for the elderly woman, and it also puts her conscience at ease.

Lying on the comfortable bed, Shi Tang began to think about how she could win Li Mu's favor as quickly as possible and make him willing to marry her.

After all, Ma Tao said that Li Mu had a terminal illness and only had a few months to live at most, so she had to become his wife before he died.

Only in this way can she have a legitimate right to inherit.

Li Mu lay in bed unable to fall asleep. He felt that achieving a union with this Shi Tangling hostage was much easier and more realistic than with that girl Mingyue.

But this matter can't be rushed. How could a young woman so easily agree to marry an old man?

Since there are still three years left, Li Mu's first priority is to see if he can get Shi Tang to live in his house long-term.
