Chapter 265 Return to Ordinary Life (Ending)

"Manman and Yingyi, clean up here. Leave the python's body here for now. I'll deal with it when I get back."

After a brief explanation, Yuan Chun walked out of the manor, and Xiao Tie followed slowly behind him.

......

After a while, the two arrived at the top of the mountain. Standing on the edge of the cliff, they could overlook the scenery of the entire Qingyang City.

A cool breeze blew by, making people feel a little more awake instantly.

"It feels really good to have survived a disaster. I never thought I would have such a day. Thank you, Xiaotie."

Yuan Chun stretched hard in the wind and said with a chuckle.

"After all, I've been living off you for so long. If I don't help you when you're about to die, then wouldn't I be... well, how do you humans put it? An ungrateful person? A heartless person?"

Xiaotie sat on the edge of the cliff, swinging his long legs, and smiled at Yuan Chun with his head tilted.

"Um...that..."

Yuan Chun suddenly didn't know what he thought of, and scratched his face awkwardly.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

"Before, I treated you..."

"Are you trying to tell me about how you usually bully me and hold me to sleep with you?"

Xiaotie blinked his big eyes and spoke calmly.

"Ahem! No, you can't say that... I didn't know you were capable at the time... I just treated you like a pet cat. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it even if you had the guts to!"

After hearing Xiaotie's words, Yuan Chun waved his hands repeatedly to explain, his face blushing with embarrassment.

"Oh, even the usually aloof and calm Little Master Yuan would feel embarrassed. That's really rare."

Xiao Tie rested his chin on his hand and looked at Yuan Chun with a smile.

Yuan Chun scratched his head, sighed and smiled helplessly, then squatted down and sat on the edge of the cliff with Xiaotie.

The two of them just sat there quietly, enjoying the cool breeze, without saying a word.

......

"Why, don't you have anything to ask me, or have you already used your weird ability to deduce my past?"

After a long time, Xiaotie turned his head and looked at Yuan Chun with a smile, breaking the silence first.

"Everyone has their own secrets. You've been with me for so long without telling me. You must have your own reasons."

"Besides, without your consent, how could I dare to deduce your past? I just saved my life and I don't want to lose it."

Yuan Chun shrugged and smiled.

"Then you're not curious about me at all?"

"Hmm... It's impossible not to be curious. For example, I'm very curious about your age. To be able to easily kill a giant python butcher who has cultivated for a thousand years, you must have at least a thousand years of cultivation, right?"

Yuan Chun thought for a moment and said.

"As for the age, it's so long I'm a little blurry, probably around 1,500 years."

Xiaotie tilted his head and thought for a while before saying.

"Five thousand... no wonder..."

Yuan Chun silently shed a few drops of cold sweat.

"I have survived to this day naturally. That stinking worm relied on various evil methods to reach this level. His actual strength and cultivation level are completely different from mine. Killing him is naturally a piece of cake. He is just a toy to be beaten."

Xiaotie said nonchalantly.

"It's really a dream to think about it. The little black cat next to me is actually a great demon with 1,500 years of cultivation. What is this, fate?"

"Well... not entirely. I don't just follow anyone I catch."

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

Xiaotie asked with a smile.

"Of course I remember. It was winter, the coldest time of the year, when I found you at the entrance of an alley."

"It was snowing quite heavily that day. You were curled up on the ground, covered in snow and shivering from the cold. I felt sorry for you and took you home."

"So you're just pretending?"

As Yuan Chun was speaking, he suddenly realized that how could Xiao Tie, who had cultivated for 1500 years, still be cold...

"You're lucky you had some humanity in taking me back home. Otherwise, our fate might not have come to an end."

Xiaotie chuckled.

"So you came to me on purpose? That doesn't make sense. What's so special about me?"

"Well... you do give me a very special feeling, but... if you ask me, I can't really describe what it is."

"Anyway, it's like an intuition that told me to follow you. Strangely enough, this is the first time in my entire life..."

"But the facts have proven that my choice was right. You are indeed an interesting person. Not only can you cultivate in this environment with so little spiritual energy, but you also have so many strange and bizarre skills."

"I say, who are you, exactly? You're not really a deity from heaven, are you? If you were, based on our relationship, you'd have to give me a small official position, or at least give me a title as a divine beast, right?"

Xiao Tie rested his chin on his hand, stared with his big cunning eyes and laughed.

"Divine beast? What kind of divine beast? Seeing how well you eat and sleep in a day, how about I give you the title of Cat Bajie, the Altar Purifier?"

"You want to die?"

Xiaotie narrowed his eyes, and his slender little hand instantly turned into a fluffy cat paw, with sharp nails stretched directly in front of Yuan Chun.

"Just kidding..."

"Who are you kidding? Tell me who you are. I'm telling you, if you confess, you'll be treated leniently, but if you resist, you'll be treated severely. You can't beat me now."

Xiaotie snorted.

"I'm not a god, but I'm definitely not from this world."

Suddenly, these words came out of Yuan Chun's mouth.

"Huh? Not from this world?"

Xiao Tie was also stunned when he heard this. He thought Yuan Chun was teasing him and was about to get angry, but when he saw the latter's serious look, it didn't seem like he was lying at all.

"This is very troublesome to explain, and it doesn't make any sense. I can't go back anyway."

Yuan Chun shrugged and smiled casually.

"Well... never mind. I'm too lazy to know. It doesn't matter which world it is. You are you anyway. That's all I need to know."

Xiaotie just felt that his brain was not working properly, so he simply waved his hand and stopped thinking about it.

......

In this way, the two people talked on the top of the mountain from the past to the present, and from the present to the future, until the bright moon was high in the sky, and then they returned to the manor.

......

In the room, Yuan Chun sat cross-legged, his face covered with fine beads of sweat, and white mist rose behind him. The whole room looked like a fairyland.

It took almost two hours for Yuan Chun to transform all his recent merits into cultivation, and he advanced to a higher level.

This Jiang Tianzhao incident gave Yuan Chun a wake-up call. Was it because of his excessive reliance on and use of the Tianji Qidian that supernatural events occurred so frequently in this world?

If I didn't exist, would something like this happen again?

"Maybe it's time to live a normal life."

......

The next morning, Yuan Chun expressed his thoughts and decided to close the Jade Talisman Shop and no longer take any fortune-telling business.

"So, Master Yuan, what are you planning to do in the future? Are you planning to work in a factory?"

Fu Manman and others were very confused.

"I'm retiring, not staying home to retire."

"I'm planning to leave Qingyang City and go out for a stroll. The world is so big, it should be enough for me to travel around for ten or eight years, right? Don't you want to come with me?"

"Going on a trip?! Taking us with you? Really?"

The happiest people are probably Fu Manman, Guo Yingyi and Wan Letong.

Their favorite thing before was to go out with Yuan Chun to carry out various tasks, even if the road ahead was full of danger.

"Great, great! Let's go together as a family! It would be great if we could travel around the world!"

"There are a lot of things to bring on a long trip, I need to think quickly!"

"Woohoo, follow the master and charge!"

......

"Xiaotie, what about you? Do you want to come with me?"

Yuan Chun asked tentatively.

If it were in the past, Yuan Chun would have just carried the child away, but things are different now.

"As for me, even though it's troublesome, I'll reluctantly accompany you. After all, you're too weak. If you die one day, who will I live with?"

Xiao Tie snorted, then transformed into a kitten again and jumped into Yuan Chun's arms.

......

Yuan Chun held Xiaotie and looked up at the sky with a smile on his face from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps returning to ordinary life is the best destination.

After two lifetimes, Yuan Chun now has all the friends around him and has nothing else to ask for.

Slowly enjoying the scenery along the way is the most beautiful way to live.
