Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

In the twenty-first year since arriving in this world, the number of people celebrating the New Year with Mu An has increased from three to four.

One little old man is gone, but one two-year-old baby has come into the picture.

A hot pot with two separate broths, a plate of beef, a plate of mutton, a roast chicken, a goose, several plates of vegetables, and a few cups of osmanthus-infused wine.

Only on this once-a-year day would Xiaohe and Xiaolü have a couple of drinks with Mu'an.

But they wouldn't drink too much, since as maids, they also had to clean up the mess.

Mu An suggested several times that they could hire a few more servants, but the two refused, so he simply let them be.

Mu Ling'er held the chopsticks and tapped them on the bowl, making babbling noises.

When Xiaohe saw this, she raised her hand to slap her hand, but before the slap could land, Mu'an had already reached out and stopped her.

Seeing Xiaohe's puzzled expression, Mu An simply smiled and tapped the bowl, mimicking Mu Ling'er's actions, which made the child cheer.

"Let her have fun during the Lunar New Year. I don't have that many rules here."

After drinking two glasses of wine, Xiaohe's face was slightly flushed. She glanced at Mu An sideways, seemingly somewhat unconvinced.

"Young Master always spouts a bunch of fallacies."

Xiao Lü, who wasn't drunk yet, tugged at her sleeve and gently shook her head.

As if that wasn't enough, Xiao Lü picked up her wine glass again and drank with Mu An.

"Young Master is a man of great ability and profound knowledge; he knows far more than we do."

Mu An smiled and poured another glass for the two of them.

The alcohol content was low, so he wasn't worried that the two of them would get drunk. Even if they did, it wouldn't matter; he could clean up the dishes himself.

He could also practice the precision of his water control technique. A few days ago, when he was creating the spell, he broke several bowls a day, which made the two of them look at him strangely.

Just as I was thinking of the bowl, a crisp sound rang out in the room. The bowl full of food fell off the table and shattered into pieces.

The careless child's face changed drastically. He lowered his head and squatted down on the ground, as if trying to piece the broken porcelain back together.

The little one reached out and grabbed at the broken porcelain on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Xiaohe woke up with a start from her slightly tipsy state, grabbed the child's hand, and picked her up.

Xiao Lü immediately squatted down and started tidying up.

Seeing that the three of them were a little nervous, Mu An gently tapped the table with her chopsticks, then pulled Xiao Lü up before smiling under their gaze.

"May all things be well and peaceful; it seems next year will be a peaceful year."

Seeing that Mu Ling'er was still a little nervous, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.

"It's Chinese New Year, let me show you a magic trick!"

Spiritual energy flowed and burst forth from Mu An's body, connecting with the spiritual energy in the outside world.

Visible water droplets rose from the ground, gathered into streams, and enveloped the shattered porcelain bowl and the debris scattered all over the ground, suspending it in mid-air.

The scene, which was several times more impressive than that of a street performer, made Xiao He and Xiao Lü's eyes widen. Mu Ling'er's mouth was wide open, her little hands and feet waving incessantly, and she even managed to hold back the tears in the corners of her eyes.

The single-threaded processor in her brain allowed her to temporarily forget her fear and tears; her small eyes blinked as she stared at the vortex in mid-air.

"Impressive, right?"

A smug voice rang out in the courtyard, and Xiao Lü, who knew her young master well, immediately clapped.

The voice was clear and strong, which put Mu An in a great mood.

"Congratulations, young master, on your great progress in cultivation!"

"Shouldn't we celebrate? Cheers!"

As night deepened, the child went to sleep early.

The two maids were dragged by Mu An to drink a few more cups, but since they couldn't hold their liquor, they returned to their respective rooms.

Mu An sat alone in the courtyard, enjoying hot pot by herself.

The moonlight stretches far and wide, the starry sky ripples.

The sound of firecrackers rose from afar, stretching to the end of the street and covering the entire small town.

The transition from the old to the new is truly a good day.

Watching the fireworks rise into the sky, Mu An tilted his head back, raised his glass to the night sky, and watched the lights of his home illuminate the night behind him.

"To peace!"

……

Winter goes and spring comes, flowers bloom and wither, and in the blink of an eye, another autumn has arrived.

Mu An's life was ordinary and uneventful. When she was tired, she would sleep, and when she woke up, she would do things she liked. Half a year passed in this leisurely way.

No one who saw him could possibly associate this lazy idler with the killing god of Qishan.

The difference is so great that it's as if they're not the same person.

Mu An is in no hurry, living the life she wants every day, and recently she has even started writing a diary.

He used Chinese characters, which only he could understand.

On the second day of the third month of the twenty-eighth year of Chengtai, in spring.

The peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain are in bloom. Xiaoxue from Zuichunlou invited me to admire the flowers and brought two bottles of wine with me. The wine was quite strong and tasted really good.

On the third day of the third lunar month, I longed to go to the brothel to listen to music.

On the fourth day of the third lunar month, I slept all day again. No, no, I have to work hard tomorrow.

On the fifth day of the third lunar month, I practiced meditation, read books, and played with the children. The little guy seems to have grown taller again.

On the sixth day of the third month, feeling something in my heart, I went to a brothel to watch a dance.

On the seventh day of the third lunar month, I went to sleep and played with the children.

On April 18th, a rebellion broke out in Lingzhou City. Princess Yongning dispatched the Tiger Legion to temporarily take over the military defense of Lingzhou. The elders of the Mu family have also been studying military training recently and have made a lot of weapons. Something seems amiss, but it has nothing to do with me.

On April 25th, an elder of the Mu family came to visit, seeking advice on how to make repeating firearms. After much thought, he still couldn't figure it out, so he offered some suggestions.

On April 27th, the northern barbarians marched south again, and I heard that the fighting was fierce. This time, the Great Qi did not gain any advantage.

……

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month, I think it was some kind of festival. Never mind, Xiao Meng from Zui Chun Lou said she learned a new skill, and we must give it a good taste.

On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, I went to a brothel to listen to music, but was stopped halfway through. The little one seemed to be in a bad mood and kept crying, even taking away my right to call her Xiao Jin. Sigh.

On May 12th, the Wang family's young maid came to the door with a painting. Good heavens, she painted herself so beautifully but me so ugly. What does that mean? Oh well, I won't argue with the maid. In two days, she will be getting married, and she'll be the eldest maid from now on.

On May 15th, Wang Wan got married. I gave her a gift worth three thousand taels of silver and also gave the groom a warning: "A fist the size of a sand pot, are you scared?" Unfortunately, the little girl didn't appreciate it and even said I was meddling. Sigh, I'm really worried sick!

May, bad review!

On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, a new woman arrived at Zuichunlou, and she danced quite well.

On June 16th, Princess Yongning sent five spirit fruits, all two hundred years old. She was very grateful and decided to meditate for a month and set up a memorial tablet for the princess in the future, to be offered to her every year.

On July 18th, the little guy in the family suddenly started clamoring to practice martial arts. What kind of martial arts can a little kid under three years old practice? No way!

On July 19th, while the little one was asleep, I secretly took a look. Her aptitude is decent, but compared to me, it's nothing special. It shouldn't be difficult for her to develop natural talent. When she grows up, I can teach her some skills.

On August 17th, the little guy secretly climbed over the wall and fell, fracturing his arm slightly.

On August 24th, the little guy's arm improved, but Xiaohe brought up old grudges and beat him up. She was fierce! He's definitely going through menopause. The atmosphere at home is strange. I won't listen to music today.

On August 25th, I tried to coax the child and reason with him. He didn't seem to understand, but he was still relatively obedient.

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, enjoy the art of string and wind instruments.

……

September 19th, Chen hour (7-9 AM).

A gentle knock sounded on the gate of the Mu residence, stopping Xiao Lü from opening it. Mu An straightened his clothes and opened the door himself.

He glanced at the people outside and gave a respectful bow, as if he were a junior.

"I've met the senior florist."
