Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 31: 031: It's Possible to Stuff Aunt and Wife into One's Arms

"No wonder she had to create such a Law Treasure to conceal her appearance."

Chu Bai imagined it for a moment. The Elder of the Outer Sect of Azure Cloud Sect, the leader of over ten thousand disciples of the Outer Sect, standing at the top of the mountain, with a loli face.

The character setting has collapsed, completely collapsed.

When Chu Bai saw this face, his awe for his aunt and the Elder of the Outer Sect instantly disappeared, replaced by a hint of tenderness.

Chu Bai tapped his own head. "It's a bit chaotic today, all because of that little aunt."

Just because he suffered a loss from talking behind his back, Chu Bai promptly changed the topic and looked at his ten fingers that had been scalded by hot water. He took out the ointment sent by his aunt and applied it all over his hands like applying hand cream.

Nearly an hour had passed, his hands had swollen and lost most of their sensation. The pain was average, and his spiritual power still flowed smoothly within them, but there was no sign of recovery.

However, after the ointment penetrated into the skin, changes occurred. A cool sensation extended from the palm to the arm, and finally, following the cultivation route of the "Nourishing Heart Technique," it circled through the first heavenly cycle, the second heavenly cycle...

Chu Bai: ???

"It seems like I didn't suffer any injuries?"

After applying the ointment, Chu Bai's two hands began to visibly reduce swelling at a rapid speed.

The ointment that his little aunt had given him was likely a precious medicine. With his cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refining, his recovery speed couldn't be this fast.

This feeling was a bit like his hands turning into two pieces of spiritual stone. The ointment stimulated the spiritual energy within them, causing it to be released and aiding Chu Bai's absorption.

Absorption!

Chu Bai immediately took off his shoes and got on the bed, entering a state of cultivation.

After working as the supervisor of Shift B17 for more than ten days, Chu Bai had already said that he had completed what needed to be done.

In one month, the daily activities of Shift B17 had already fallen into a routine. A teleportation array had been added, allowing them to travel between the Western Mountain and the back mountain medicinal fields. Everyone had embarked on the path of cultivation, and while the reward of spiritual stones had been reduced, it was still enough for their daily cultivation needs.

With this, their Senior Brother Bai could completely shift most of his attention back. He only needed to visit them individually every day, encourage and motivate them, and check their progress in cultivation.

Shift B17 had already made a name for itself in the Outer Sect. Even if Chu Bai stopped their supply of spiritual stones, they could still make a fuss for a while.

Not to mention, countless matchmakers were about to come knocking on their doors. Senior Brother Bai was going to find wives for them, and immediately there would be wives who would come forward voluntarily. Spiritual stones were a temporary issue, but a wife was someone they would spend their whole lives with.

...

The Azure Cloud Mountain Range spanned three thousand miles, and it was not only the Inner and Outer Sects of Azure Cloud Sect that occupied this land.

Which sect could monopolize three thousand miles of land?

And Azure Cloud Sect had stood here for over a hundred thousand years, with countless towns and markets built around the sect.

For example, the secluded Blue Mountain Town was just an ordinary mortal town.

The children in the town took pride in joining Azure Cloud Sect. It was best to join the Outer Sect, but even becoming a menial disciple could ensure a worry-free life for several decades.

In the afternoon, Er Gou Kong Xiu returned home with a package on his back.

Digging mines for the sect was not good in many ways, but one advantage was that they had the option to apply for a monthly leave to visit their families.

Kong Xiu hadn't been home for half a year. Recently, he had been lucky and made progress in his cultivation, reaching the first level of Qi Refining. He brought some ordinary silver coins and longevity herbs to visit his parents.

Kong Xiu reached out and unlatched the door latch. The old wooden door automatically opened inward.

Then he froze.

The reason was that after half a year of absence, the inside of his home had changed to the point where he didn't recognize it.

Kong Xiu remembered that the Kong family only had two earthen houses. In half a year, those two houses had become five, and they were all brick houses.

In the first few years, he brought a yellow dog back from the wilderness to guard the house. After Kong Xiu joined Azure Cloud Sect, the situation at home improved, but it was still limited. In addition, his parents had fallen seriously ill and spent a large amount of silver, causing the old yellow dog to become skin and bones.

The yellow dog, who ran over to lick his shoes as if it were celebrating, had grown much stronger, and its barking had become louder.

The empty courtyard now had a jujube tree, and there were flowers and plants under the eaves. The spring couplets were new, and two new quilts were hanging in the yard.

"Oh, Er Gou is back!"

A woman in her forties or fifties, carrying a wooden bucket, was pouring water into the water tank when she looked up and saw Kong Xiu standing dumbfounded at the door, exclaiming in surprise.

Then the woman hurriedly ran into the house, shouting, "Master, master, Xiao Hong, Er Gou is back!"

...

The Kong family consisted of four people. Kong Xiu originally had an older brother who accidentally fell into the river and drowned ten years ago. In addition to their parents, Kong Xiu also had a younger sister named Kong Xiao Hong. Today, Kong Xiu returned home to visit, and the family was reunited.

Not long after, Kong Xiu sat on the kang bed. His mother looked at him for a long time and then turned to pull his sister to make pancakes.

Kong Xiu's father was a typical farmer, and he also looked at his son for a while. Then he knocked his pipe on the bottom of his shoe and said, "If you have any questions, ask them. The matchmaker Wang will come later."

Kong Xiu had a question mark on his forehead.

He had too many questions.

The life at home was basically the same as his life. Before he met Bai Shixiong, he was just an ordinary disciple doing odd jobs. If it weren't for the serious illness, their family should have been better off.

Now he had embarked on the path of cultivation, reaching the first level of Qi Refining, but he had just returned.

And his parents and sister were dressed in new clothes and jewelry, which was a bit excessive.

"Um, Dad, Mom, what about you?"

Kong Xiu's mother had a quick temper. "Hey, what 'you' are you talking about, Er Gou? You don't have to hide anything from us. The village head came to our house last month and said you had made progress and become an immortal, bringing great honor to Lanshan Town. Your father and I raised you, which is a great achievement. Then a group of people came to our house, built five rooms, planted trees and flowers, and even sent two maids to serve your father and me. We didn't dare to accept people, and we didn't dare to accept money because we couldn't afford it. Later, several matchmakers from the town took turns coming to propose marriage to Xiao Hong. The village head brought two pounds of meat to your father for a drink a few days ago, implying that Xiao Hong should marry their second son."

When it came to matchmakers, Kong Xiao Hong couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Mom~," her little face turning red.

For the Kong family, Er Gou entering the Azure Cloud Sect was a great joy, but their daughter not only looked average, but also had difficulty conceiving. She was already sixteen and still unmarried, which caused the two elders a lot of worry.

Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, Kong Xiao Hong became a sought-after girl in the town. Wealthy businessmen and government officials all wanted to marry into the Kong family.

"Just wait a moment, let me sort it out..."

The mother fired off a series of information, which was a bit overwhelming for Kong Xiu, who hadn't studied in a private school for several years.

Last month was the month when the declaration of the mine gradually started.

As a miscellaneous disciple who was the second among a hundred people to embark on the path of cultivation, it was unrealistic to expect the sect to take care of his hometown. But if someone heard the news and tried to curry favor with the Kong family, there was nothing wrong with it.

He was just a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.

Bai Shixiong said that with their talent, the third level of Qi Refining was the limit.

Was it necessary to make such a big fuss for a future third-level Qi Refining cultivator?

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of carriages and drums outside the courtyard. The village head ran in with sparks under his feet, shouting as he ran, "Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi Ge, good news! People from Yungang City have come. The city lord wants to marry his daughter to your Er Gou!"

...

Bai Shixiong said that they were not young anymore and should find a wife.

Kong Xiu wanted a wife too. He thought about marrying a female disciple from Hundred Flowers Peak, and that would be enough for this lifetime.

Never did he expect that the idea of finding a wife that Bai Shixiong mentioned and what he thought were completely different concepts.

A wife could be pushed into his arms.
