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

However, all of these people were driven away by Magistrate Qin.

A month later, Xiao Mo also announced that he would no longer receive guests.

During this time, a previous rumor about Xiao Mo resurfaced in Shiqiao Village.

Many people have noticed that the beautiful woman in the white dress accompanying Prime Minister Xiao is none other than the childhood sweetheart who went up the mountain to cultivate, as rumored back then.

Forty-eight years have passed, and Mr. Xiao is now nearly seventy years old. Only now has he finally met his childhood sweetheart.

Mr. Xiao's hair was white, but the woman was still young.

This is truly regrettable.

However, no one blamed the girl.

After all, immortals and mortals are inherently separated.

It was truly remarkable that the fairy remembered Mr. Xiao and came to see him off on his final journey.

Another half month has passed.

Starting from a certain day.

Every night, after Xiao Mo falls asleep, Bai Ruxue disappears for a period of time.

Bai Ruxue would not return until very early in the morning, and this continued for several months.

Every so often, Bai Ruxue would find some strange spiritual flowers and herbs for Xiao Mo to eat.

Otherwise, you could make soup with the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts that contain spiritual power and feed it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo ate whatever Bai Ruxue made.

He pretended not to know anything.

One evening, Bai Ruxue helped Xiao Mo back to his room to sleep.

After Xiao Mo "fell asleep", Bai Ruxue left the courtyard.

Xiao Mo opened his eyes and sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window.

Bai Ruxue's figure gradually disappeared into the night.

"Did she go to Tianxuan Sect again?"

Only after her figure completely disappeared did Xiao Mo turn his gaze away from the night sky and slowly speak.

In Xiao Mo's room, a woman dressed in Taoist robes was standing there at some point.

“Yes.” Fuchen looked at the old woman on the bed. “Every night she goes to the Tianxuan Sect’s library to look for ways to prolong your life.”

"Hehehe," Xiao Mo chuckled, "Extending lifespan? Items that extend lifespan are all created by seizing the power of heaven and earth. How easy are they to find? Not to mention I'm already like a candle flickering in the wind. Even if I found one, how much use would it be to me?"

Fuchen shook his head: "This is her last stand."

"This silly girl."

Xiao Mo sighed.

"If she hadn't known that marrying me would have prevented my aging body from bearing the consequences of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, thus causing my lifespan to end prematurely, why would she have kept quiet about the marriage?"

whisk:"."

"Regardless, thank you, Fairy, for making things convenient for Ru Xuexing, allowing her to enter your sect's library." Xiao Mo stood up and bowed to Fuchen.

“Mr. Xiao, you flatter me. This is nothing more than a small matter.” Fuchen looked at the old man who was nearing the end of his life. “But Mr. Xiao, are you really going to do that?”

Fuchen came tonight because he received a package from Xiao Mo, sent by the governor of Jiangnan Prefecture, the day before yesterday.

"Ahem, yes." Xiao Mo coughed a few times. "Would the fairy be willing to help me with this favor?"

Fuchen frowned: "Mr. Xiao, are you really sure?"

"Think it through."

Xiao Mo smiled.

"This is the last thing this old man can do for Ruxue."

Chapter 67 Xiaoqing, your sister will need your help a lot from now on.

Early in the morning, Bai Ruxue returned to Shiqiao Village from Tianxuan Gate.

Bai Ruxue, having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, already possessed the ability to shrink distances to an inch. Although Tianxuan Sect was a thousand miles away from Shiqiao Village, the round trip only took half an hour.

Regardless, she took care of Xiao Mo during the day and went to the Tianxuan Sect's library to look through books at night, day and night, for several months in a row.

With Xiao Mo's time drawing ever closer, Bai Ruxue grew increasingly anxious.

Under such mental and physical exhaustion, Bai Ruxue already looked somewhat haggard.

Just as Bai Ruxue entered the courtyard, intending to make breakfast for Xiao Mo, the master bedroom door opened, and Xiao Mo came out.

"Xiao Mo, you got up so early today."

Bai Ruxue tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled.

Although Bai Ruxue had previously called Xiao Mo "husband," it was out of affection at the time.

Afterwards, Bai Ruxue was also very embarrassed. She hadn't even married into the family yet, and calling Xiao Mo her husband seemed too unreserved.

Furthermore, Bai Ruxue didn't want others to say behind her back, "They're not even married yet, but they're already calling each other husband and wife. How can Mr. Xiao's fiancée be so shameless?"

So Bai Ruxue changed her address first.

Bai Ruxue didn't care what others said about her, but she didn't like others talking about Xiao Mo.

And it's the same if I wait until I'm married before calling her that.

"I haven't been able to sleep well these past couple of days, and I was thinking that instead of lying in bed, I should go out into the yard for some fresh air and move around more," Xiao Mo said with a smile.

Bai Ruxue stepped forward and helped Xiao Mo sit down in the courtyard: "Xiao Mo, please sit down for a while. I'll go boil some water for you to wash up."

"Thank you." Xiao Mo nodded.

Bai Ruxue smiled gently: "Why are you two being so polite?"

Xiao Mo paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true."

Wait a moment.

Bai Ruxue went into the kitchen, skillfully started a fire to boil water, and after helping Xiao Mo wash up, she went to the kitchen to cook.

Not long after, Xiaoqing woke up, greeted Brother Xiao, and then went to do laundry and hang it to dry.

Watching the two sisters working in the courtyard, especially seeing the graceful figure in the kitchen, Xiao Mo lowered his aged eyes, as if thinking about what to do next.

Before long, Bai Ruxue brought out the porridge, along with steamed buns and pickled vegetables, while Xiao Qing washed Xiao Mo's chopsticks.

As the three of them ate breakfast and chatted about interesting things that had happened in the village, Xiao Mo finished his porridge and said to the two sisters with a smile, "I have something I want to give to the two of you."

"Brother Xiao, what is that?" Xiao Qing asked curiously, her interest piqued.

"Wait a minute."

Xiao Mo got up and went into the room.

When he came out, he was holding a painting scroll in his hand.

The scroll unfolds, depicting rivers and lakes.

"Brother Xiao, what is this?"

Xiaoqing was deeply impressed by the magnificent painting.

"This is a map of the river that I made for you."

Xiao Mo patiently explained to them.

"Transforming into a dragon in the river and becoming a hidden dragon in the sea is said to be an essential part of your cultivation."

Over the years, while I was working on water conservancy projects, I also studied the river maps and local chronicles of the State of Qi, and frequently went to conduct on-site investigations.

In the end, this was the route I chose.

When you two travel along the river, take Ganyuebo as the entrance, then enter Siming Lake, head towards Chunsong River, pass Luoshui and Yunya River, and finally enter Beihai.

I've taken care of everything for you along the way.

"When you take this path, you will encounter the least resistance, and the water conservancy projects I have constructed can prevent floods and have minimal impact on the people, thus reducing the karmic burden of your tribulations."

“But Brother Xiao, I’m only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. I don’t need to travel across the river yet. It’s the one who needs to travel across the river.”

Halfway through her sentence, Xiaoqing seemed to understand something and turned to look at her older sister.

Bai Ruxue lowered her head, her small hands under the table tightly gripping the hem of her skirt on her thigh.

Xiaoqing understood what Brother Xiao meant.

My own level of skill hasn't reached that point yet, so for now, this "River Journey Map" is for my older sister to use.

Xiao Mo didn't say anything more, but raised his head and looked calmly at Bai Ruxue, waiting for her answer.

"I'm not going!"

After a long while, the woman raised her head, her eyes darting around as she looked at Xiao Mo.

"Ru Xue, many of the counties and prefectures where these rivers and lakes are located are my students. They will give you some convenience out of respect for this old man."

Furthermore, your current level of attainment is sufficient.

The time, place and people are favorable.

This is a very rare opportunity.

Xiao Mo advised.

"Then I won't go!" the woman insisted. "What will you do if I go?"

"Xiao Qing can take care of me first," Xiao Mo said gently. "I can wait for you to return from Jiang Dujie."

"But Xiao Mo," tears streamed down Bai Ruxue's face, "even if I return from the river, how much time do you have left?"

"."

Xiao Mo fell silent for a moment.

"Ru Xue, listen to me."

"Don't listen, don't listen!"

As if afraid that Xiao Mo would convince her, Bai Ruxue covered her ears and ran out of the courtyard, flying away into the distance.

"Sister!" Xiaoqing called out from the courtyard.

"Brother Xiao, I...I'm going to chase after my sister," Xiaoqing said worriedly.

"No need." Xiao Mo shook his head. "Don't worry, your sister is fine. She should have gone to Tianxuan Sect."

"Huh?" Xiaoqing was taken aback. "Brother Xiao, you..."

“I already knew. Your sister goes through all sorts of ancient books every night, searching for a way to prolong my life.”

Xiao Mo smiled.

"It's alright, your sister will definitely go on her journey this time."

Xiao Mo stood up and patted Xiao Qing: "Xiao Qing, your sister will need your help a lot from now on."

"Brother Xiao, what... what are you going to do?"

Xiaoqing had a bad feeling.

Xiao Mo simply smiled slightly, raised his head to look at the vast sky, and remained silent.

"There must be a way!"

"There must be a way!"

Bai Ruxue flew to Tianxuan Gate, wiping away tears as she walked, and hurriedly entered the Tianxuan Gate's library.

She did ask Elder Fuchen directly if there was a way to extend the lives of mortals.

But Fuchen remained silent, only giving Bai Ruxue a token, allowing her to enter the Tianxuan Sect's library and search for herself.

During this time, Bai Ruxue asked the old lady who managed the library, read many books, and found many ways to prolong life, but none of them were suitable for Xiao Mo.
