Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack
Chapter 2: First Encounter
Lancheng, dawn.
In the star-studded magical living room of the Li family, family members whispered about Li Li's return. Li Yan lowered her head and said nothing, with a gloomy expression. Li Xiuling saw her daughter's melancholy and felt pity in her heart, after all, she was the child she had grown up with.
"Xiaoyan, don't be like this. Mom will be heartbroken to see you suffer. Li Li is back, she is just our sister, you are still our baby, the princess of the Li family." Li Xiuling gently held her hand.
"I know, Mom, I'm fine. I'm lucky to be your child. I won't compete with my sister for anything, don't worry." Li Yan's eyes were moist, and her beautiful face revealed endless fragility.
Her understanding made Li Tu and Li Xiuling feel relieved. She was always so considerate.
"Honey, you go to the Magic Academy first. Xiaoyan and Xiaojing should also prepare to go to the Magic Academy. I'll go pick up Lili. Although Li Dajun said he doesn't want any reward, how can we be sure that he won't have other intentions? It's better to solve it as soon as possible." A trace of boredom flashed in Li Xiuling's eyes.
Li Tu nodded, said a few words, put on his magic cloak and left first.
Li Yan lowered her head. When she mentioned Li Dajun's name, a trace of contempt flashed across her eyes. Her biological father was just a farmer living in a remote field. She couldn't accept it, and she would not allow anyone to disrupt her life. How dare Li Li, a girl who grew up in the countryside, challenge her? She clenched her fist quietly, and no one noticed her determination.
"Mom, can I go with you to pick up my sister today? After all, we are of similar age, so it might be easier for us to get closer to each other."
Li Yan asked Li Xiuling to go with her. After thinking for a moment, Li Xiuling agreed. She then cast a magic spell to delay classes at the school, and then set off with Li Yan and the housekeeper.
Li Jing remained silent from beginning to end. He had been calm and outstanding since childhood. Although he was not Li Yan's biological daughter, his deep affection for Li Yan was irreplaceable. He knew the difficulties of his biological sister in the countryside, but Li Yan, who grew up with him, was more important to him. Since his mother had already left, he chose to silently bless her.
An astonishing legend has been circulating in Xiushui Town recently. The youngest daughter of the Li family at the end of the village was actually a product of an exchange. Her real parents were the dignitaries of Lancheng, and they were about to welcome her back to the prosperous city. Her years of suffering and her fate of being replaced by someone else were sympathetic. It was said that the biological daughter of Li Dajun's family was unwilling to go back, which was extremely shameful!
Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, several aunts were chatting about this matter. Suddenly, a luxurious carriage shining with magical luster, which was out of place in the small town, drove over.
Li Xiuling was in mixed emotions. She knew this place was remote, but she had never expected it to be so desolate. Although the magic of the carriage was powerful, it could not withstand the bumps on the rough dirt road. Li Yanyin had experienced this once before and was able to adapt, but Li Xiuling's first impression of this place was not good...
The carriage stopped at the edge of a forest not far from the Li family. Because the road was blocked by magical thorns, the three of them had to walk the rest of the way. Li Xiuling couldn't help but blame herself. Knowing that it was difficult to travel here, the family didn't come to cast teleportation magic to greet them. It was indeed the conservative habit of remote villages. Thinking of her own daughter Li Li, who might have been misled by people like Li Dajun, a trace of worry flashed across her face.
Although she was worried, she felt a little comforted when she saw Li Yan. After all, she still had a well-behaved daughter.
Li Dajun had been waiting at the door for a long time, and wanted to use teleportation to pick them up, but Li Ting was in class at the Magic Academy, and Li Li was still ill, so he was really worried and could only wait at the door. When he saw Li Xiuling and the other two from a distance, he immediately went to meet them with light steps.
Entering the Li family, she saw that the house was extremely simple, like a corner forgotten by magic, and Li Xiuling's heart tightened. The difficulties of the Li family were far beyond her imagination. How had Li Li lived for many years? Tongjiang couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that Xiaoyan didn't grow up here, maybe it was a kind of luck, and her fate with their Li family was destined to be like this. Although she felt that she owed her own daughter this, Li Xiuling couldn't control her inner thoughts.
"Please sit down. I'll prepare some magic spring water for you." Li Dajun noticed Li Xiuling's scrutinizing gaze and seemed a little nervous.
"No need, we will leave soon." Li Xiuling quickly stopped him.
Li Dajun was stunned. So hasty?
"But Lili is still recovering, so why don't you take a rest for a while," he suggested.
"What! Sick? Li Dajun, how did you take care of my daughter? Our daughter is growing up healthily with us, is this how you treat her?" Xiuling was furious when she heard this.
Li Dajun waved his hands and explained, "Lili heard the news about her life experience and rushed home from the academy and got caught in the rain..."
"That's enough. No need to explain. Let's go now. We have a healing wizard at home and we will take care of her." Li Xiuling interrupted him.
Li Dajun's eyes dimmed and he agreed in a low voice.
"Father, who is here? What are you discussing?" Li Li had been standing at the door of the room without knowing when. Her face was pale. Under the moonlight, she looked pure and elegant, like a white lotus in a pond.
Li Yan glanced back, a hint of jealousy flashing across her eyes. She had never expected that Li Li, who grew up in this remote village, would be so beautiful. Especially, she looked 40% similar to Li Xiuling. One could tell at a glance that they were related by blood.
"Lili, I'm your mother. Look how much we look alike." Li Xiuling walked forward and held Li Li's hand without waiting for Li Dajun to introduce her.
Li Li smiled, calmly withdrew her hand, and looked at Li Dajun.
"Yes, this is your...mother, and your sister Xiaoyan. From now on, they are your family. They are here to take you home." Li Dajun said hurriedly.
Li Xiuling felt a little dissatisfied when she saw Li Li consulting Li Dajun, but she still restrained herself as it was their first meeting.
"Okay, I'll go pack some things. Please wait a moment." Li Li turned and walked into the house.
Unexpectedly, Li Li did not show any surprise and accepted it all calmly.
Li Yan curled her lips quietly. What was there to clean up in this house? Wouldn't she have to buy everything again when she returned?
Soon, Lilith came out holding a small magic box. Although the Li family was poor, there was really nothing to pack. There were only a few replacement magic robes and most of them were her alchemy books.
"Father, I'm leaving first. You have to take good care of yourself. I will come back to visit you often."
"Well, when you get to that world, you have to live in harmony with your family members and study magic hard. Father will bring Jiang Liu and Xiaoting to see you, and Xiaoyan... You have to be strong too, father... father will also come to see you." Li Dayuan didn't expect the parting to be so sudden. Tears welled up in his eyes and he turned and left.
Lilith made a slight gesture to the butler, who immediately understood and handed over a magic crystal. "Mr. Li, this is a small gift from our master. Thank you for your care and love for Miss Lilith over the years."
Li Dayuan took a step back and said firmly: "Lily is my daughter, and it is my responsibility to raise her. I said I would not accept your money or property. I just hope you can treat Lily and...Xiaoyan well."
"You don't need to worry about this. They are all my children. The Li family will provide them with the best magic education and life. Since you don't want to accept the magic crystals, please don't bother us in the future. After all, we are Lily's real family. As for Xiaoyan, if she wants to come and see you, I won't stop her." Lilith responded to Li Dayuan coldly.
Now that her biological daughter has returned, there is no need to get too entangled with these people. As for Xiaoyan, she has enough understanding of this daughter who she raised with her own hands. Xiaoyan knows who is sincere to her and naturally understands the preciousness of family affection.
"That's good, that's good." Li Dayuan could only smile in response.
Lilith ignored Lilith's disregard and stepped forward to hug Li Dayuan, "Father, take care of yourself and take good care of Jiang Liu, I will be back."
When Lilith heard that Lilith challenged her authority in person, she was dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything more. She just felt that Lily grew up in the countryside and lacked education, so she must be taught well when she returned.
Everyone got into the carriage. Lily waved goodbye to Li Dayuan. The carriage drove away, leaving Li Dayuan with a nostalgic look.
Lilith did not look back because she knew that this was only a short separation, and once the dispute in the Li family was resolved, their family would be reunited again.
During the journey, Li Yan tried to talk to Lily several times, but seeing Lily's eyes closed and pale face, he finally chose to remain silent.
As dusk approached, Jiang Liu arrived at the Li family's mansion, which was located in the famous aristocratic district of Lancheng, and the neighbors were all powerful people. Li Yan stole a glance at Lilith. How could this country girl not show a surprised expression when she saw such a gorgeous mansion?
Lilith stood in front of the Li family's gate, gazing at the magnificent magic manor. She showed no surprise or timidity, but just raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Li family, she was back again.
