Immortal, save me!

After Xiao Jue's death, Daqi changed its dynasty. Liao Wu became the new emperor of Daqi and changed the country's name to Lin. Linzhou is where Liao Wu met Luo Jin and the others. It was a turning point in his destiny.

Bai Shi thought about it for a long time and decided to enter the officialdom, but before that, he planned to return to the village to pay homage to his parents.

He found his master and Immortal Mo and asked for his resignation. His master agreed and asked him if he wanted to go to the Fairyland with them.

Bai Shi was very excited and deeply moved. He didn't expect that his master was willing to take him to the Fairyland. However, he couldn't practice cultivation, and he was sure that he would be of no help and would only be a burden if he went with them, so he refused.

After bidding farewell to his master, Mo Xianren, Bai Shi took Yiren back to Baijia Village. In order to take care of Yiren, they traveled slowly and arrived half a month later.

As they approached the village, Bai Shi's heart was beating wildly, his ears were buzzing, he even felt like he was deaf, and he even felt a little panicky and uneasy.

When he walked into the village, his anxious but slightly excited eyes reflected the overgrown fields, the twisted trees, the dilapidated houses covered with moss, and the blackened and shrunken corpses lying on the ground...

All his emotions seemed to be frozen on his face. He walked tremblingly throughout the village, passing by the door of the Bai family, with whom he had severed ties...

No one left alive.

Until he arrived at his parents' grave, he knelt in front of the grave, feeling at a loss.

He didn't understand what happened? Everyone was fine before he left, but now he came back and saw corpses everywhere...

He cried silently, but he didn't know what he was crying for. He was depressed for several days. He asked the neighboring villages for help in taking care of the villagers' funeral affairs. He stayed there for a month before he finally calmed down and returned with his beloved.

Afterwards, he successfully entered the officialdom and held an important position in Lin State.

He heard that the Yu Kingdom had also changed its dynasty and established the Ji Kingdom under the leadership of a half-demon boy named Mu Li, and started a new life.

Jiang Zhuo, who once followed his master, is also in Ji State.

At the same time, those foreigners who remained on the mainland were doing very well here. They had cultivation and no one could do anything to them. Fortunately, they were not bullies who took advantage of their power.

He performed his duties and took care of Yiren every day. Occasionally he thought of his master and Immortal Mo who had gone to the Fairyland. He wondered whether they were doing well or not now.

He even felt that they would never see each other again in this life.

A few months later, there were sudden bursts of thunder in the east, which lasted for a month. They were far away in Yudu and could even see the dark clouds in the sky.

Since then, the spiritual energy of Xuanling Continent seemed to have revived, and gradually people began to be able to practice. However, the number of people who could practice was very small, and there were only a few among ten thousand people.

A few more years passed, and suddenly a dazzling light appeared in the east, which lasted for a whole hour. Then, people sensed that great changes had taken place in the continent, and countless people headed east to check the situation.

Not long after, the news that a new continent had suddenly appeared in the east of the continent spread throughout the entire Xuanling Continent.

At the same time, a misty fog appeared overnight on the sea surface farther away from the East China Sea, and several fairy mountains were looming in it.

Just like a girl holding a pipa with her face half covered, her shy look tempts people to visit the immortals and ask for immortality. However, due to the clouds and mist, people cannot see clearly no matter what. Even if they try their best, they cannot find the way to the immortal mountain.

Bai Shi had a vague feeling that his master and Immortal Mo might have returned, and were probably in the Penglai Fairy Mountain.

He also tried to go to Mount Penglai, but like everyone else who had gone there before, he found nothing.

He thought that his fate with his master and Immortal Mo was finally over.

He felt sad and disappointed, but that was all he could do.

Afterwards, the Xuanling Continent began to have close exchanges with people from another continent, and from this, it was learned that the place used to be the Xianling Continent, and is now a part of the Xuanling Continent.

Later, when Yiren grew up and had her coming-of-age ceremony, he began to choose a husband for her, but she rejected them all. He was puzzled, but she said nothing.

At that time, he vaguely realized that Yiren was different. The girl who never cried or made a fuss since she was a child and always looked at him quietly did not have the innocence of other children, nor did she have a happy childhood like other children.

Apart from taking care of her daily life, he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father in other aspects, causing her to grow up alone. He felt very guilty about this and tried to make it up to her.

Later, when he woke up one night and opened his eyes, he saw his beloved standing by his bed. She looked at him with eyes full of emotions that he did not understand or did not want to understand.

Bai Shi suddenly realized how strange the girl in front of him was. He raised her but didn't understand her.

He felt that something was wrong and he wanted to correct it but didn't know how.

Until the end, Yiren stayed with him until the end of his life.

……

Yiren had memories from birth. She knew her mother hated her, and her mother's family didn't like her either. She also remembered the way the midwife ran out in fear after seeing her appearance on the day she was born...

Her mother hated her and was afraid of her. She had never taken care of her since she was born, leaving her to fend for herself. She even strangled her to death when no one was around.

When she was about to die, her mother was stopped by someone. She saw her mother smashing things like crazy. A piece of debris flew past her and fell beside her. Then her mother's husband picked her up and took her away from the place of trouble.

Later, her mother tried to abandon her several times, but failed every time. Finally, she was successfully abandoned one time. Just when she thought she would leave that family forever, she was picked up again. She was taken care of by her mother's family. Although they were afraid of her, they did not let her starve.

But in the end, she was still abandoned. Her mother's family was leaving, and her mother didn't want her, so she took advantage of the chaos and dumped her in a beggar's den.

An old beggar adopted her. Even though he was dying, he still took her home. She and the old beggar depended on each other and lived on a little bit of charity every day. Just when she thought they would continue like this, the old beggar went out to beg and never came back.

She stayed in the dilapidated temple without crying or making a fuss, waiting for the old beggar to come back, although she thought the old beggar would not come back. A few days later (half-demon babies have stronger physiques than ordinary babies), she could no longer bear the hunger and burst into tears.

She led a person over. It was a young man, not much older than her mother.

She saw the surprise in the man's eyes, but he was not afraid. He just looked at her.

She quieted down and looked at him with wide eyes. He hesitated and put his hand on her cheek, not knowing what he was thinking.

She didn't want to be left behind again, so she tried to hold his fingers and smile at him. Sure enough, the man did as she wished and wrapped her in his robe and took her away.

The man named her "Yiren" and said: Yiren, from now on, I am your adoptive father...

Adoptive father? What is that? She didn't know, but she didn't want to be alone again.

Unfortunately, that person was very busy and had a lot of things to do every day. He seldom accompanied her and sometimes even forgot about her until he came back and saw her. Then he hugged her and apologized to her, saying that he would not do that again.

He lied because he would be busier in the future and would have even less time to take care of her and accompany her.

One morning, he took her away. She saw his hesitation and knew that this man wanted to abandon her. She held his hand tightly and didn't want to leave. In the end, the man did not send her away, but took her to where he worked every day.

But when passing through an alley, she sensed the scent of an old beggar. She couldn't speak and could only look in that direction. The man noticed it carefully and carried her in. The alley had a strong smell, so the man covered her mouth and nose with his sleeves and led her in.

She saw a half-rotted corpse in the corner, but she could still vaguely recognize the old beggar's appearance. It turned out that he did not abandon her, but was dead and could not come to see her.

Die! She had heard this countless times from her mother. Every time her mother saw her, she would curse, “Why don’t you die!”

That was the first time she knew what death meant, and she didn't like it.

The man carried her away and came to a strange yet familiar place, where she was born.

The people were talking about her, and she heard that person assuring the majestic man that she would not hurt anyone, and that if she hurt anyone, he would take her to death with him.

In the end, she managed to stay. The man was very busy. He took time out every day to feed her, then left in a hurry and would not come back until very late.

She was too young to do anything, and all she did every day was wait for him or be in a daze.

Later, they went to Yudu, and their life remained unchanged as before. She stayed alone in the room waiting for him.

When she was one year old, the man would teach her to walk and talk when he was on vacation at home. The first word he taught her was her name, and he would ask her to repeat it over and over again.

She didn't want to, she knew his name was Bai Shi, she opened her mouth and stammered, "Bai...Bai, Four."

The man looked at her in surprise, praised her for her intelligence, and laughed happily.

She laughed too and kept calling his name.

But he said: "Yiren, I am your adoptive father, you have to call me dad."

"Yiren, call me daddy."

He guided her to call him daddy, but she only had a mother and no daddy, so she didn't want to call him that and stopped talking.

The man was not discouraged. Whenever he had free time, he taught her to read and tried to tease her with small toys so that she would call out "Daddy."

Not long after, the man took her back to his hometown, and she saw how sad he was, devastated and miserable.

She was born smart and had a photographic memory. She knew a lot about adults. Matchmakers came to her house from time to time, wanting to introduce girls to that man so that he could get married.

At first, he rejected them on the grounds of mourning. After the mourning period was over, matchmakers still came to propose marriage, but he still rejected them.

She didn't like the matchmakers who came to her house. She was afraid that someone would divert that man's attention and she was afraid of being ignored even more. So every time a matchmaker came to her house, she would close the door and not let anyone in.

She seldom left the house, but she would sit outside the door day after day waiting for the man to come back, counting the ants on the ground and the falling leaves out of boredom, staring blankly at the path he would take on his way back.

When she occasionally went out, she would wear a cloak that covered her whole body and looked at the outside world through the cloak. She didn't like her strange appearance and couldn't tolerate others looking at her as a monster.

When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she began to fall in love, but the object of her affection was not a boy of the same age, but the man who raised her. She kept following his figure with her eyes without realizing it.

When she realized this problem, she couldn't help feeling ashamed and regretful. For so many years, she had known the meaning of the word "adoptive father", but she couldn't help but develop feelings beyond family affection.

She didn't dare let him notice, so she could only force herself to look away and look over quietly when he wasn't paying attention.

When she was fifteen, the man started to choose a husband for her. She didn't want to get married, so she rejected all the candidates for various reasons.

He was helpless but didn't give up.

But she won't compromise.

Later, the man finally couldn't help but want to talk to her. She looked into his eyes, and had to swallow the affection that was on the tip of her tongue. She felt aggrieved, but dared not say anything, for fear that if she did, this man would no longer want her.

Love is too exhausting. She looks forward to his return every day, longing for his response, but the more she desires, the less she gets.

Sometimes she couldn't help but sneak into his room at night and stare at him in the darkness.

I persisted for half a month and the man didn't notice.

She was secretly delighted, with a slight sweetness in her bitterness.

But they were eventually discovered. They looked at each other in silence in the dark. She knew that the man had discovered her feelings, and she thought he would scold her and marry her off as soon as possible.

But he didn't. He just came back less often. When he came back occasionally, he brought her many books, and the contents of the books were all about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and ethics.

She was feeling depressed, but she couldn't help but tear the book into pieces. Then she looked at his stunned expression and felt inexplicably happy.

She felt like she was going crazy, and sometimes when she got emotional, she wanted to tie him up and force herself on him, but she had the desire but not the courage to do so.

It was all because he taught her too well that she couldn't do those things, so she had to bear the pain by herself.

They were deadlocked for many years, and in the end he finally gave up trying to persuade her to "turn over a new leaf". She felt somewhat satisfied, at least she could spend the rest of her life with him...
