"Xiao Mo, this snake scale pendant is for you."
You must keep it safe.
Don't lose it!
Chapter 90 In this life, I will never let him leave again!
The next morning.
When Xiao Mo woke up and walked out of the bedroom, he saw Ru Xue busy in the courtyard.
She wrung out the washed clothes and hung them on the pole one by one.
The sea breeze blew by, gently lifting her long, silvery-white hair.
She tucked her hair behind her ears, and the water droplets from her clothes clung to her pale, lotus-root-like arms, like dewdrops soaking into snow-white silk.
Looking at the woman's appearance, Xiao Mo was momentarily dazed.
It felt as if I had returned to that courtyard in Shiqiao Village.
It's as if the days have never changed.
"Xiao Mo, you're awake! Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen to get you some hot water to wash up."
When Bai Ruxue saw Xiao Mo leave the room, she quickly put down her clothes and hurried into the kitchen.
Before long, Bai Ruxue came out with a basin of water, her delicate fingers wringing out a cloth, ready to wipe Xiao Mo's face herself.
"Sister Bai, I can do it myself."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll help you." Bai Ruxue pressed down Xiao Mo's small hand and happily wiped Xiao Mo's face.
Xiao Mo's head was turned around and around by the face mask.
Bai Ruxue looked at the snake scale pendant around Xiao Mo's neck, her eyes softening even more.
"Alright, that's settled then. Sit in the yard for a bit, and I'll go get you some hot porridge."
After helping Xiao Mo wash up, Bai Ruxue went back into the kitchen and brought out the hot porridge she had cooked.
After breakfast, Bai Ruxue asked Xiao Mo to take her for a walk around the village so she could meet the aunties and grandmas who usually took care of Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo naturally did not refuse.
When the villagers saw Bai Ruxue, they were quite surprised. Such a beautiful woman had come to Huanyu Village, and her long, silvery-white hair was even more unusual.
Moreover, they felt that the white-haired woman's every move exuded the elegance of a lady from a prominent family.
To be honest, everyone was a little apprehensive about having a woman stay at Xiao Mo's house.
But the village chief stepped forward and said it was nothing, so no one said anything more.
indeed.
Our fishing village has nothing; it's just an ordinary little fishing village.
Xiao Mo is just an ordinary child. What could the other party possibly have in mind if they approached him?
Perhaps he really just wanted to rest here for a while, and happened to meet Xiao Mo. Seeing that he was pitiful, he decided to stay and take care of him for a period of time.
However, those who live in Huanyu Village for a long time are required to burn three sticks of incense at the village's ancestral hall to show respect for the ancestors of Huanyu Village and to pray for their blessings.
The village chief led Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue into the ancestral hall.
At the very front of the ancestral hall stood a scholar dressed in a blue robe.
The scholar held a book in one hand and had the other hand behind his back, gazing into the distance.
"Isn't that me?"
Xiao Mo was stunned.
He never expected to see his own statue here.
Xiao Mo turned to look at Bai Ruxue. Bai Ruxue's eyes flickered slightly, but in just half a breath, she calmed down.
Bai Ruxue stepped forward, took the incense stick from Granny Wang's hand, bowed three times, and inserted it into the incense burner at the front.
"Grandpa Village Chief, are these our ancestors?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Ah."
Village Chief Zhao smiled and nodded.
"This is our ancestor, named Xiao Mo, a great sage from three thousand years ago. In the past, our village was not called Huanyu Village, but Shiqiao Village."
However, 1,500 years ago, war broke out in the State of Qi, and our ancestors, in order to escape famine, came to the seaside and established this fishing village.
As he spoke, the old village chief patted Xiao Mo's head:
"Moreover, according to legend, the ancestors of Shiqiao Village were able to arrive here safely because a silver-white dragon protected them. Originally, there was a dragon sculpture in the ancestral hall, but the county magistrate said that the relationship between humans and demons was becoming increasingly tense, so it had to be temporarily removed."
"That's it"
Xiao Mo lowered his head, feeling a pang of regret upon hearing that the Qi Kingdom had fallen.
But in this world, which dynasty can last forever?
It was already extremely remarkable that the State of Qi lasted for a thousand years.
After Bai Ruxue offered incense and bowed three times, the simple ceremony was completed.
Bai Ruxue and Xiao Mo strolled around the village for a while longer before heading back around noon.
But just as Xiao Mo and his companion approached the courtyard.
Xiao Mo saw a woman in a blue dress standing outside the courtyard.
Xiaoqing heard footsteps, turned around, looked at her older sister, and then at the child her sister was holding, her expression showing a bit of complexity.
"Sister," Xiaoqing called softly to Bai Ruxue.
Bai Ruxue brushed her skirt aside, squatted down, and reached out to pat Xiao Mo's head: "Xiao Mo, I have something to do. Why don't you go home and wait for me?"
"Mmm." Xiao Mo nodded and ran into the house.
Bai Ruxue stood up, walked to Xiaoqing's side, and said calmly, "Let's talk somewhere else."
Bai Ruxue walked towards the seaside, with Xiaoqing following beside her sister.
Half an incense stick later, they arrived at the seaside. Bai Ruxue looked at the boundless sea and placed her hands in front of her: "Xiaoqing, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Sister, the demon realm has sent another envoy." Xiaoqing said, looking at her sister's profile.
What did they say?
"The messenger said that my sister is a demon emperor of the immortal realm who controls the North Sea, and we should act together with them to attack the world of myriad laws."
Furthermore, they also said that if the elder sister was willing to stand on their side, after the fall of the world, the territory of the Qi Kingdom from three thousand years ago would all belong to the elder sister, and her territory would not be limited to the North Sea.
If my sister is devoted to the human race and betrays the demon race, then they…
In the end, Xiaoqing lowered her head and said no more.
"If I defend the human race, then I am their traitor, and they will destroy my North Sea?" Bai Ruxue completed what Xiaoqing was about to say.
"."
Xiaoqing remained silent.
Silence is consent.
“I already know about this. Tell the envoy from the demon realm that I, Beihai, do things without needing their instruction.”
Bai Ruxue looked at the calm sea and continued speaking.
"I probably won't be returning to the Dragon Palace anytime soon. I'll leave the affairs of the North Sea entirely to you. Also, go and prepare medicinal herbs such as sweet orchid grass, dragon blood flower, and Netherworld Spirit Pearl for me. Then, send the Seven Dragons to the Dragon Abyss. I need to refine a kind of elixir."
Bai Ruxue handed a list to her younger sister.
Xiaoqing took a look and instantly understood what her sister was going to do.
All of these medicinal herbs are for clearing the spiritual meridians and strengthening the body's foundation, all in order to maximize the medicinal effect of a single item!
Bai Ruxue held the blue glass bottle, facing the sea. The azure light of the Dragon Thunder Liquid reflected on the woman's delicate and beautiful face.
"In this life, I will never let him leave again!"
Chapter 91 The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive.
unconsciously.
In the Book of Centuries.
A month passed.
Bai Ruxue has completely settled down in Huanyu Village.
Bai Ruxue did Xiao Mo's laundry and cooked for him, dried fish, and took him out to sea to fish.
Every time they went out to sea to fish, the two of them would return with a full catch.
And every time Xiao Mo praised Bai Ruxue—"Sister Bai, you are so amazing"—
The woman would always have a smile on her face, and sometimes she would even put her hands on her slender waist, raise her chin proudly, and say happily, "Your sister Bai is the most amazing~"
Bai Ruxue also often gave some fish to the villagers.
Huanyu Village has always been known for its simple and honest people. After Bai Ruxue delivered fish to them several times, the villagers completely trusted her.
Even some of the older women in Huanyu Village wanted to introduce Bai Ruxue to potential blind dates.
After all, this girl is really pretty.
However, Bai Ruxue politely declined all of them, saying that she already had someone she liked.
Sometimes Bai Ruxue would secretly leave Huanyu Village.
Although Ru Xue said she went out to catch fish alone, Xiao Mo actually knew what Ru Xue was going to do.
The most direct evidence is that every time Bai Ruxue returned, Xiao Mo could smell a faint medicinal fragrance on her.
Ru Xue seems to be secretly refining some kind of elixir.
Xiao Mo pretended not to know anything.
Another month has passed.
Xiao Mo wants to go out to study.
The neighboring fishing village is called Longhai Village, which, like Huan Fishing Village, originated from Qingshan City three thousand years ago.
The two fishing villages would pool their money to hire a teacher to give the children their first education.
Xiao Mo went to school because he wanted to help Bai Ruxue transform into a true dragon.
Admittedly, in this life, Ru Xue is already a demon emperor in the immortal realm. Even if I were to rise to the highest position in the court, I probably wouldn't be of much help to Ru Xue.
Not to mention that the Great Chu Dynasty today is in the twilight of a dynasty, completely terminally ill.
The fortunes and destiny of the Chu state were far inferior to those of the Qi state, which had existed for three thousand years.
But Xiao Mo really couldn't think of any other way to help Ru Xue transform into a true dragon.
After all, I am just an ordinary person in this life.
Fortunately, I still have the knowledge from my previous life, so even after three thousand years, I still have some foundation.
Find out what students are studying now and what the rules of the imperial examinations are in the Great Chu. You should still be able to enter the officialdom.
"Hey? Xiao Mo, are you going away to study?"
That evening, Bai Ruxue was quite surprised to hear that Xiao Mo was going to school in the next village.
“Hmm.” Xiao Mo nodded. “The village chief said that I’m old enough to go to a private school to learn to read and write. Regardless of whether I’ll be a scholar or become a high-ranking official, at least I’ll be able to read a few words when I leave the village, so I won’t be fooled.”
"I see." Bai Ruxue lowered her head, took a few small bites of rice, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Soon, Bai Ruxue raised her head: "Xiao Mo, how about I teach you to read and write?"
"Sister Bai, will you teach me?" Xiao Mo was taken aback.
Bai Ruxue's eyes curved into a smile: "Don't underestimate me, sister. I've read quite a few books. Besides, I can teach you to read, so you won't have to run to the next village every day. Isn't that better?"
