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

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu? What are you thinking about? Why are you spacing out while drinking?"

Some slender hands came into Mu An's view. The hands waved up and down, distorting the light and shadow in front of her and pulling Mu An back to reality from her memories.

He looked at Qinghe, who had sat down across the table, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"As you live longer, you'll inevitably recall some past events."

Mu An spoke calmly, but Qing He inexplicably felt a faint sadness.

She picked up the teapot from the table, poured Mu An a cup of hot tea, and then tentatively moved the wine gourd in front of Mu An to the side.

Seeing that Mu An did not object, Qing He smiled and hid the wine gourd behind her back, putting on a little housekeeper's act.

"Drinking is harmful to your health. Even if you have a high level of cultivation, you should still drink less alcohol."

The similar faces and movements made Mu An feel dazed again.

Long, long ago, Xiaohe would often take his wine glass away like this. The difference was that Xiaohe was more direct. If she felt he had drunk too much, she would refuse to let him drink any more, unlike Qinghe who was so careful.

"That's true, let's drink less today."

"Not today! Sir, you should drink less alcohol in the future!"

"Alright, alright. Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't understand some parts of the 'True Explanation of the Five Elements'? Since we have nothing to do today, tell me what you don't understand."

……

"I always feel like you're amazing, sir. You know everything and can do everything. You're the most amazing person I've ever met!"

"Xiao He?"

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong, Xiaohe?"

"It's alright, let's continue talking about cultivation."

……

"Sir! Sir! You know so much, who exactly are you? Qinghe, I'm a tight-lipped person, please tell me quietly, I promise I won't tell anyone else."

Qinghe rested her chin on her hands, looked at Mu'an curiously, and asked the question once again.

As she spoke, she symbolically raised her right hand, as if making a vow.

Just like every time she had been curious before, Qinghe received the same answer once again.

"They're all trivial matters."

Under Mu An's gaze, the girl put her hands on her hips and walked confidently to Mu An's side, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of things.

But when she reached Mu An, she suddenly lost her composure, intertwined her ten fingers, and whispered.

"Sir, please don't be so perfunctory... I'll tell you a secret, Qinghe is also going to marry into the royal family in the future, and who knows, I might marry one of your juniors, so you'll be my elder in the future!"

"Do you have someone you like?" Mu An asked this time.

Seeing Mu An respond, Qing He's eyes lit up, and she excitedly started counting on her fingers.

"Among the princes who have not yet married, Prince Duan is the most handsome, Prince Qin is the most talented in literature, and Prince Qi has the highest cultivation level, but his temper seems to be not very good... On the other hand, I heard that Prince Jin has a gentle personality and rarely criticizes his servants, so he might be a good candidate..."

After talking enthusiastically for a while, Qinghe seemed to have thought of something terrible, and her voice suddenly became soft.

"Thinking about it carefully, none of this really applies to me. After all, my brother and I have become marginalized members of the Qing family, and we rarely have the opportunity to meet these vassal kings..."

Mu An did not interrupt Qing He, but asked a question after she finished speaking.

"Do you long for life in the palace?"

Noticing that Mu An was watching her, Qinghe blushed, just like every young girl in this era who was being questioned about her love life by her elders.

"Sir, really, how can you ask such a question... How many girls in this world haven't fantasized about marrying one of those princes?"

"In that case, if you find someone you like, just let me know and I will make the arrangements for you."

"well???"

With her head still smoking, Qinghe pointed to herself blankly, her voice incoherent, "Sir... sir, you... you... you're really not lying to me? I... I... I don't even know what the princes look like..."

"We'll get to know each other after a while."

"Fine! Sir, you're playing me again! I'm ignoring you!"

……

"Brother! Brother! Listen to me, we might see a star shower tonight!"

"A star shower tonight? Really? Did Mr. Mu tell you that, little sister?"

Qinghe nodded her head repeatedly, her bright eyes reflecting a rare gleam.

"Yes, the master said that the once-in-a-century Tai Shi Star Shower will arrive above the Nine Realms tonight. The master also said that the Tai Shi Star Shower is the most beautiful star shower in the world, a miracle brought to the Nine Realms by the Boundary Sea. A person may only be able to see it once in their lifetime, so we should cherish this rare opportunity."

Looking at his younger sister's expectant eyes, Qinghan smiled as well. He raised his hand to straighten Qinghe's clothes and said something habitually.

"You can watch the star shower, but you'll need to wear more clothes at night."

Hearing this phrase that she'd heard so many times before, Qinghe pouted, crossed her arms, and shouted loudly at Qinghan.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!!! Brother, you're doing this again! My health is already much better than before."

Seeing her younger sister pouting and pretending to be angry, Qinghan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"My bad, my bad, I almost forgot, little sister, you're carrying the Fire Spirit Essence with you now..."

"Of course! Mr. Mu is incredibly talented! He's the most amazing person I've ever met! I'm not trying to be mean, but brother, you really should ask Mr. Mu for advice on cultivation. Don't always be so proud."

Seeing Qinghe scolding her in the same way she used to scold her, Qinghan found it amusing and nodded in agreement.

He knew how formidable Mr. Mu was, but as the eldest son of the Qing family and the future head of the Qingyun Trading Company in Wangyue City, even though he had been marginalized by the family and sent to the desolate Starfall Continent, he could not act as recklessly as his sister.

Such insolence is absolutely unacceptable in front of Mr. Mu, who is very likely a member of the royal family.

With their mother gone at a young age, the two siblings had long since lost the right to be willful.

It is Qinghe's good fortune to have won Mr. Mu's favor. As his younger sister, she has caused Mr. Mu so much trouble. As her older brother, he should at least be polite and not neglect Mr. Mu.

……

That night, the airship made an unscheduled landing on a deserted plain.

Qinghan and Qinghe set up a barbecue grill on the deck of the flying boat.

The two invited Mu An, but Mu An declined, saying that she wanted to watch the starry rain alone in the attic.

Although they felt it was a bit of a pity, the brother and sister didn't care too much.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that with Mu An gone, they are more relaxed and can prepare some low-class but very popular dishes like this.

You can enjoy delicious food while chatting freely without any reservations.
