Xiao Changhen knew that the path of cultivating immortals was dangerous, but he also thought that was something that would happen after entering the realm of cultivating immortals. What he didn't expect was that his wife Bai Bai would be plagued by illness halfway. In order for her to get better as soon as possible, Xiao Changhen chose to get off the boat.

Looking at his wife's pale face and thinner face, Xiao Changhen bought her a small courtyard, and then found a human trafficker to buy a few slaves to serve her. Three days later, after the doctor confirmed that she was no longer in danger, Xiao Changhen left her a letter and set off alone.

Xiao Changhen walked all the way to the dock in silence. He didn't know why he was always feeling uneasy. He habitually looked up to look for his wife, but there was no one around. Then he realized that he had left her here.

He booked a simple room this time. He sat there in silence, occasionally looking up to scan the room, then lowering his head again. He didn't know why he had this problem.

Boom, boom, boom—the big drum on the deck of the ship was struck, which was the signal that the ship was ready to leave the shore.

The boatmen collected the anchor that sank to the bottom of the river, and the big drum on the deck was struck again. The boat then slowly left the shore, reached the depths of the green water, and quickly headed downstream. The figure soon disappeared around the corner in the distance.

In addition to the relatives who came to see off the ship who were traveling far away, there was also Xiao Changhen who got off the ship at the last moment.

In the process of learning about normal human behavior, he encountered many cases like his current situation. For the sake of his wife's health, he kept her in a place where she could live a good life. Otherwise, it would be a very selfish act...

Then just be selfish, he was never a good person.

Xiao Changhen thought of the letter he had written, and at this moment he suddenly didn't want his wife to see it.

"Master, are you back?"

When Xiao Changhen approached the street near the yard he bought, he heard a familiar voice. Turning around, he found that it was the servants he had just bought to serve his wife.

"Why are you all here? Who will take care of Baibai?" Xiao Changhen looked at the people in front of him and frowned tightly.

The servants had done most of the heavy work in their previous masters' houses, but they had never done any heavy work when they were bought by their new masters. The mistress was a delicate and sickly woman, and the master was a man of few words. The family was simple and had no strict rules. To please the mistress who was about to wake up, they wanted to quickly decorate the house.

On their way back from picking up the furniture, they met the man of the house.

"Master, the Madam hasn't woken up in the past few days. We've only been out for half an incense stick of time. Nothing will happen." The leading old servant also realized that something was wrong and said, "We will go back now."

"What's that?" A passerby suddenly stopped and pointed in the distance, saying, "There's so much smoke, could it be someone's house accidentally caught fire?"

Several servants also looked up, and when they saw this, they collapsed to the ground in fear. That place was their master's house. They looked for the master again, but he was nowhere to be found.

Xiao Changhen didn't know how to describe his current mood. When he ran to the yard he bought for Yan Baibai, it was surrounded by neighbors carrying buckets of water. Thick black smoke was rising from the yard, like a ferocious beast, constantly burning his lungs, beating his heart, and ravaging his eyes.

At this moment, Yan Baibai was lying on the floor in the house, staring calmly at the billowing smoke above her head. A faint circle of light surrounded her, isolating her from the smoke and flames in the house.

Until now, the system has not responded. The story started 20 minutes ago. At that time, it was suggesting that the host dress up a little better, but the host seemed not to hear it, and his eyes were fixed on the candle in the corner of the room.

It knew that the host must be unhappy at this time. Just when it wanted to comfort the host and say that the male protagonist would be here soon, it saw the host pick up the pillow behind him and throw it accurately in the direction of the candle...

The fire burned quickly, while its host lay motionless on the bed, like a rotten salted fish.

The host was not in a hurry, but the system was. Seeing that the fire had spread to the bed and Yan Baibai was still motionless, the system had to use props to move Yan Baibai to the floor at the door of the house. Even though Yan Baibai only needed to crawl forward a few steps to leave the room, she just lay on the ground blankly, as if her brain had really gone stupid.

The system had no choice but to buy another protective light shield for Yan Baibai to use. After all this was done, the system could not say anything.

It looked at Yan Baibai, who was lying on the ground like a salted fish, and it remembered the host's previous life. In that world, the host was also abandoned. Even though the current host no longer had that part of the memory of the previous life, he must have hated the feeling of being abandoned deep in his heart.

After seeing the male protagonist of the mission, Xiao Changhen, rushing into the house, the system quietly removed the protective shield on Yan Baibai. The thick smoke around her quickly covered Yan Baibai's face and entered her nasal cavity, choking her and causing her to cough involuntarily. Tears also flowed involuntarily, breathing became difficult, and her vision gradually became unclear.

Bang—the door was kicked open heavily, and thick smoke filled the house. Xiao Changhen soon saw Yan Baibai lying on the ground under the smoke. Xiao Changhen ran over, picked up Yan Baibai and rushed out of the room.

The fire did not affect the neighbors, and the yard bought by Xiao Changhen was completely destroyed. Fortunately, Xiao Changhen did not put the silver and money he left for Yan Baibai in the yard, but put it in a big money house in the city. Otherwise, the silver and money would have been buried in the fire.
