We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?

By candlelight, the woman continued to sew her beloved's blue robe stitch by stitch.

The next morning, as the rooster crowed, Bai Ruxue finally raised her head and rubbed her shoulders.

The blue robe in his arms was already made.

After Xiao Mo got up, Bai Ruxue quickly had him try it.

Seeing that Xiao Mo fit perfectly, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you comfortable wearing them?" Bai Ruxue asked. "Is there anything that needs improvement?"

"It's quite comfortable." Xiao Mo looked at the blue robe. "There's nothing that needs to be improved; it fits perfectly."

"Brother Xiao, thankfully it fits. I didn't sleep all night. If it didn't fit, I'm afraid I would have had to change it for another day," Xiaoqing said from the side.

"You're so talkative." Bai Ruxue patted her sister's hand.

"Actually, Ruxue, you really don't need to make your own clothes anymore. Our family isn't short of money," Xiao Mo advised.

"It's alright." Bai Ruxue stepped forward and straightened Xiao Mo's sleeves, waist, and collar. "Clothes made by others are still made by others, and I'm not comfortable with that."

Xiao Mo's throat bobbed, wanting to say something, but all he could say was, "Ru Xue, you've really worked hard."

Bai Ruxue's eyes curved into a smile: "Between you and me, there's no need to talk about hardship."

Xiao Mo's gaze softened as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

Although Xiao Mo knew that this was just a life experience in the Hundred Lifetimes Book, if he could really get such a wife, what more could he ask for?

"When are you leaving tomorrow?" Bai Ruxue asked.

"At dawn tomorrow, Magistrate Sun will send a carriage to pick me up."

"The journey to the capital is said to be long and arduous. Is there anyone who will escort you there?"

"Magistrate Sun said he would make arrangements, Ruxue, you don't need to worry."

"That's good." Bai Ruxue nodded. "I'll give you the bundle tomorrow. There might be a lot of things, but you can't complain. They're all things you'll need."

"All right."

Every time Bai Ruxue went on a long trip, she would prepare a lot of things for Xiao Mo, all kinds of things, but it was indeed a bit too much.

Even mosquito repellent sachets were brought to him.

Seeing that Xiao Mo agreed, Bai Ruxue smiled slightly and took Xiao Qing to the kitchen to cook.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Ruxue did her housework as usual.

During the meal, Bai Ruxue wore a smile, deliberately trying not to let Xiao Mo see her reluctance.

But Bai Ruxue is not someone who hides her feelings.

Xiao Mo and Xiao Qing could both see the disappointment in her heart.

The next morning, Bai Ruxue woke up early and prepared breakfast for Xiao Mo.

Not long after, a carriage stopped outside the courtyard, followed by several constables on horseback.

These are the people who came to pick up Xiao Mo.

After breakfast, Bai Ruxue escorted Xiao Mo out of the village.

Xiao Mo was leaving in a hurry this time, and not many people knew, so the village chief and the others did not come to see him off.

The constables were very sensible and walked far ahead, leaving the two of them alone.

"Once you get to the capital, you must eat well and not be careless."

"knew."

"The weather is getting colder, so be sure to wear more clothes."

"Don't worry, the winter clothes you made are very thick."

"Take these two jars of honey with you. They're not worth much, but they're a token of our appreciation. You can't go to see Mr. Zhang empty-handed."

"Do not worry."

"Also, you can't go to brothels."

"Don't go."

"It's okay if you don't do well on the test. Don't be discouraged. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"it is good."

Xiao Mo stopped and turned around to look at the woman in front of him: "Ru Xue, please stay here."

The woman gently bit her thin lips: "I'll see it off a bit more."

Xiao Mo shook his head: "You've already escorted them five miles."

The woman lowered her head, her fingers clenched tightly, and her curved eyelashes trembled slightly.

After a long while, the woman raised her head and looked at him: "Go and come back soon."

Xiao Mo took two steps back, stood in front of the woman, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully.

Straightening up, Xiao Mo said no more; to say more would only show his reluctance to part.

He turned and walked forward, getting into the carriage.

"drive!"

Escorted by several constables, Xiao Mo's carriage gradually drove into the fields.

Bai Ruxue subconsciously took a step forward, but ultimately stopped herself.

The carriage traveled further and further away until it became a black dot and disappeared from the woman's sight.

"Sister, Brother Xiao has already left. Let's go back," Xiaoqing said to her sister.

"No rush, let me take another look."

"But Brother Xiao has vanished without a trace."

"It's fine"

The woman gripped her skirt tightly, still gazing into the distance.

"Let me take another look."

Chapter 50 This sleep may be a lifetime

It was noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

In a courtyard in Shiqiao Village, two sisters are eating their meal.

Perhaps because Xiao Mo had left, leaving only the two sisters, the dining table felt somewhat deserted.

Moreover, in the past, Bai Ruxue would often think of different recipes because she considered that Xiao Mo was very tired from studying.

However, after Xiao Mo left, the two sisters ate a simpler diet, basically consisting of one meat dish and one vegetable dish.

"Sister, let me wash the dishes," Xiaoqing said to her sister after lunch.

"It's alright, I'll take care of it. I don't have anything else to do anyway." Bai Ruxue smiled and shook her head, carrying the rice bowl into the kitchen.

But a short while later, the sound of a rice bowl breaking came from the kitchen.

Xiaoqing quickly went inside.

In the kitchen, clay bowls were broken all over the floor, and the older sister was leaning against the counter, looking like she might collapse at any moment.

"Sister, are you alright?" Xiaoqing helped her sister up, her eyes full of worry.

"It's alright." Bai Ruxue shook her head.

"Sister, you don't look alright at all." Xiaoqing sighed. "I'll handle this. You should go and have a seat."

Bai Ruxue wanted to clean up the broken mud bowl herself, but Xiaoqing pulled her out and made her sit down in the courtyard.

After Xiaoqing finished cleaning, she walked out of the kitchen and saw her sister sitting in the yard, staring at the path leading to the yard.

Lately, whenever my sister has free time, she sits on the stone bench in the yard and gazes into the distance, just like last time.

But the difference is that last time Brother Xiao only went out for two or three days.

This time, Brother Xiao won't be back until at least April.

Xiaoqing watched as her sister's head bobbed up and down, her eyelids already half-closed, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.

But whenever my sister was about to fall asleep, she would suddenly wake up, shake her head, and continue looking at the path.

Xiaoqing walked to her sister's side, squatted down, and held her sister's small hand: "Sister, go and get some sleep. Brother Xiao will be back in the spring, and you'll be awake by then."

Bai Ruxue smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, I think I'll wait a little longer. Besides, I feel that this hibernation might be different."

"How is it different?" Xiaoqing asked in confusion.

Bai Ruxue shook her head: "Sister doesn't know either. She just feels that this time she will hibernate for a very, very long time. She doesn't know how long it will take for her to wake up."

"Oh dear, sister, you're overthinking it. How long can we snakes sleep? We'll wake up in May at the latest," Xiaoqing advised.

But Bai Ruxue just smiled gently and said, "It's alright, it's just one winter without sleep, I can manage. But Xiaoqing, you should hibernate, you've been feeling really sleepy lately."

"But my sister isn't asleep yet."

"I'll wait for him to come back."

"Sister!" Xiaoqing was speechless.

For the next few days, Bai Ruxue would sit in the yard after finishing her housework every day.

Xiaoqing also noticed that her sister was getting sleepier and sleepier.

But my older sister just won't hibernate.

Even by the tenth day of the lunar month, my sister was worried that if she fell asleep, she would hibernate, so she simply stopped sleeping at night.

Bai Ruxue wouldn't sleep, and Xiaoqing, worried, also forced herself to stay awake.

One day, when Bai Ruxue went to wash clothes.

A woman dressed in a Taoist robe came to the outside of the courtyard.

"I wonder who the Taoist priest is looking for?" Xiaoqing looked at the female Taoist priest warily, worried that her and her sister's identities had been exposed and that the priest had come to exorcise demons.

Fuchen smiled and said, "Miss, there's no need to be so nervous. I know Miss Bai and Young Master Xiao. I have something to discuss with her. I wonder if Miss Bai is here? Besides, it's already deep winter. Are you still awake at all?"

"!"

As soon as Fuchen finished speaking, Xiaoqing was startled. Her eyes instantly turned into vertical blue pupils, and she was about to strike first!

With a gentle touch of his fingertips, a stream of spiritual energy shot into Xiao Qing's brow.

In just a moment, Xiaoqing felt that she could not move.

"What do you want to do?" Xiaoqing felt afraid, but she did not back down at all.

“I am from the Tianxuan Sect, and my name is Fuchen. I have no ill intentions in coming here. I came here once before, hoping to take Miss Bai as my disciple, but Miss Bai refused that time. I know that our fate has not yet arrived, so I will not force you. If you do not believe me, you can ask Miss Bai yourself when she returns.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she flicked her slender, jade-like fingers again, and another beam of light shone into Xiaoqing's brow.

Xiaoqing's immobilization spell has been lifted.

Looking at the female Taoist priest in front of her, Xiaoqing's eyes still held a hint of wariness, but she felt that the other party should not have any ill intentions. Otherwise, given the other party's level of cultivation, she could do whatever she wanted to her and her sister without having to waste her breath.

"What do you want with my sister?" Xiaoqing asked.

"A few days ago, I had a sudden whim and did some divination. I learned that Miss Bai has reached a certain level of cultivation and needs to go into seclusion to transform into a python. After she comes out of seclusion, Miss Bai can directly enter the water and become a dragon."

However, Miss Bai's life force is strange; she seems unwilling to hibernate for a long time. This humble Taoist has come to inquire about the reason. I wonder if Miss Bai has anything to ask?

He asked, "I have a whisk."

Xiaoqing glanced at the female Taoist priest and gently bit her thin lips: "Brother Xiao has gone to the capital and will not be back until after the provincial and palace examinations. My sister is waiting for him. She said that if he hibernates, he might never wake up again, so she has been reluctant to hibernate."

"I see." Fuchen nodded. "This is Miss Bai's fate."

"What did you mean by calamity just now, Daoist Master?" Xiaoqing asked worriedly.

How did my own sister end up in such a calamity?

Fuchen explained, "When the snake race reaches a certain level, they will transform from pythons into boa constrictors and undergo a metamorphosis. Their bodies will become larger and more resilient. This is in preparation for becoming a dragon. The whole process takes several years."
