Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

Li Ting often completed his homework at Yashe Magic Bookstore, so he was naturally very familiar with Qingyu.

Lilia tried to chat with her, and although Qingyu tried her best to remain calm, Lilia still noticed that she was not interested and felt a little disappointed.

"Lilia, I'm leaving first. My mother is waiting for me at home." Soon, Qingyu said goodbye.

Lilia walked towards the room. "Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes and go back with you to visit your mother."

Qingyu quickly refused: "No need, Lilia, I can go back by myself. You should stay at home to accompany your uncle and Xiaoting during the New Year."

"It doesn't matter. I have nothing to do at home. Besides, your mother invited me to taste the magic food last time, but I haven't been able to go yet. Don't you want me to come?"

Last time, Qingyu's mother invited Lilia to dinner, but Lilia was unable to attend for some reason.

Lilia deliberately said this, and Qingyu became nervous and quickly replied: "How could that be? Of course you are welcome."

"Then let's go."

Lilia said goodbye to Li Dayuan and went out. Before leaving, Li Dayuan forced Qingyu to give her a New Year's magic crystal red envelope full of blessings.

Ignoring Qingyu's dissuasion, Lilia first bought magical gifts for the New Year's visit, and then took the magic carriage to the ancient city where Qingyu's home was.

"We're here." Qingyu climbed up five magic stone steps and arrived at the door of her home. She turned the key and opened the door.

"No need to change shoes, just come in." Qingyu felt a little embarrassed. In fact, their family didn't even have a pair of magic soft shoes to entertain guests, because there would be no guests coming to their house, only uninvited troublemakers.

Although it was an old house with a small area, it was kept spotless and everything was in order. However, the house was filled with a strong smell of magic wine, mixed with a faint smell of herbs, which made Lilia frown.

Qingyu opened the window for ventilation, and bursts of coughing came from the bedroom. "Is that Qingyu? Why did you come back so soon? Is there no one at Lilia's house?" asked a weak woman's voice.

Qingyu hurried in, followed by Lilia. "Mother, Lilia is here to visit you."

"Hello, Auntie." Lilia smiled. "I have always wanted to come and visit you and taste your magical cooking. Today I finally have the chance. Qingqing tried to stop me from coming just now."

In the distant continent of Ayres, Qing Lian's face was as pale as moonlight. Even without any magic makeup, the beauty of the young Jiang family was still clearly visible. However, the melancholy between her brows was like a lingering haze, making her look particularly haggard. She struggled to sit up from the magic bed.

"You are Lili, right? You are indeed a smart elf girl. Why do you come here alone in this cold frost and snow season? Aren't you going to stay in your forest hut? Here, you can enjoy the delicious food cooked by magic at any time. I am happy to see you."

"Xiao Yu, go get some magic fruits. You guys can have fun first, I'll go prepare the magic dinner." Qing Lian got up and started to get busy.

Li Li actually had no specific reason to visit, and seeing this, she quickly stopped him, "No need, Auntie, I just came to see you. Your body has not fully recovered yet, so you need to rest more."

"It doesn't matter. The doctor also said that proper magical practice will be beneficial to me." Qing Lian insisted on cooking herself.

She knew very well that her daughter's friend had done a lot for their family. Even the healing magic potion she was taking was paid for by Li Li with magic crystals. She was so grateful that she couldn't express it in words. Even a magic meal alone couldn't repay her in the slightest.

Li Li was unable to dissuade her, and Qing Yu also agreed with her going, so she could only give up.

"Qingqing, where is your father? Why isn't he at home today?" Li Li asked cleverly. Qingyu had never mentioned his father, so Li Li pretended not to know.

"He...he went out to handle some matters." Qing Yu forced a smile. She really didn't want to mention that name.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Li Li noticed that Qing Yu was acting strange and realized that something must have happened. She decided to stay and wait to see how things would develop.

Although Qing Lian was weak, she was still agile and quickly cooked several magical dishes. She placed them on the table.

"Come and have a meal, and try auntie's cooking. Don't mind, our family's financial situation is limited." Qing Lian smiled apologetically. The mother and daughter lived a tight life, and their weekday meals were simple. They only prepared sumptuous food during festivals.

Li Li quickly tasted it and praised it highly, "Auntie, it's already very delicious. No wonder Qingqing always praises your magical cooking skills."

"Auntie, please enjoy it too."

The three of them ate and talked, sharing interesting and fantastic stories on campus, making Qing Lian laugh from time to time.

Qing Yu lowered her head and ate silently, a tear quietly slipped into the bowl. It had been a long time since she saw her mother so happy.

"Bang!" The door was violently opened, and a burly man rushed in. His broad face and narrow eyes revealed a fierce aura. "Well, since I'm not here, you can enjoy the food." His voice was rough and harsh, like the roar of a wild beast.

Qing Yu's body trembled uncontrollably. Qing Lian stood up in panic, "Why are you back?"

"This is my home. I can come back whenever I want." He moved a chair over and sat down, then picked up the wooden chopsticks and devoured the food.

"Hey, who is this beautiful elf girl?" Fang Qizhi looked at Li Li greedily with his small eyes.

Li Li's pupils shrank dangerously, and a feeling of disgust arose in her heart. She really wanted to use magic to remove those unpleasant eyes.

"This is me...my stepfather." Qing Yu closed his eyes and said this unspeakable fact with difficulty.

Qing Lian quickly explained: "This is Xiao Yu's friend, from the same magic school, he's just here as a guest."

"You still have enough to entertain others. It seems that you still have the Philosopher's Stone in your hand." Fang Qizhi wolfed down the food on the table, wiped the traces from the corners of his mouth, and sneered.

Qing Lian quickly denied, "No, really not, how could there be a Philosopher's Stone at home?"

Fang Qizhi snorted sarcastically, "Didn't I find some in your hiding place last night?"

"That's Xiaoyu's tuition for the next school year. What are you going to do if you take it? Put the Philosopher's Stone back."

The night before, Fang Qizhi came home drunk and rummaged around, accidentally discovering the magic stone hidden by Qing Lian. Faced with her desperate pleas, he pushed her away mercilessly and went out to gamble excitedly.

In just one night, the casino in Jiangjian City swallowed up all his money and Fang Qizhi lost everything. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Qing Lian must have hidden more magic stones, so he returned home during the day for the first time.

"No more." Fang Qizhi responded indifferently.
