Qǐfēi, a pomegranate spirit, had wished to cultivate to immortality for thousands of years. However, just as she was about to reach the final step, she was struck by lightning, losing all her cul...
Xing Yucheng had poor health since childhood, so his family spoiled him a bit.
Fortunately, he didn't develop any bad habits. Knowing that his days were numbered, he tried his best to be happy every day so that his family wouldn't worry about him.
Little did she know that the more she acted this way, the more her family would feel sorry for her.
But everyone knows what Xing Yucheng is thinking, and they are all willing to spoil him.
As the time predicted by the doctor drew closer, Xing Yucheng's health deteriorated.
The family was anxious, but dared not let Xing Yucheng know.
Until someone gave Madam Xing a suggestion.
Let's try this as a way to bring good luck.
This idea suddenly enlightened the First Madam.
Yes, it's a way to bring good luck in marriage; what if it works?
The First Madam discussed it with the rest of the Xing family. Although some people thought it was a bit absurd, they still nodded silently when they saw Xing Yucheng's increasingly thin body.
With the father's approval, the others quickly sought out someone who could bring good fortune through marriage.
However, when Xing Yucheng found out about this, he strongly opposed it.
"I know my own body best, so I shouldn't harm others."
Xing Yucheng disagreed, and the matter remained deadlocked.
Until one time I went to a temple to burn incense.
Because of Xing Yucheng's health issues, Madam Xing has become a devout believer.
This time, I offered incense as a way to help Xing Yucheng relax.
"I just want to go out and travel more in my last few days."
The First Madam was on the verge of tears.
Suppressing her grief, she took Xing Yucheng up the mountain.
It was there that Xing Yucheng met the original owner of Qi Fei's body.
That was the first time Xing Yucheng felt his heart beating.
A single glance can last a lifetime, all for the sake of longing.
When the First Madam habitually brought up the matter of a marriage to ward off bad luck, Xing Yucheng fell silent, thinking of the woman in the mountain breeze.
The First Madam was a little stunned to receive Xing Yucheng's consent, but then she was overjoyed.
I never expected that Xing Yucheng would agree to the trip up the mountain. It's truly a blessing from Buddha.
Although the First Madam was pleased, she naturally wanted to find out why Xing Yu had suddenly changed his mind.
After learning the reason, the First Madam was somewhat unable to express her feelings.
Complex yet gratifying.
She had assumed that her youngest son would live a life of abstinence until he passed away.
Who knew that he would finally figure it out?
She asked around about the girl, who was living under the care of her stepmother.
She gave a slight signal, and the girl's stepmother immediately nodded in agreement, afraid that they might regret it.
The two families quickly set an auspicious time for the wedding to bring good fortune.
No one asked the original owner for their opinion.
Seeing this, Shura felt a sense of relief; thankfully, this man didn't have that kind of luck.
He naturally knew that Xing Yucheng was innocent, and that such a man might even evoke pity in Qi Fei, making her willing to accompany him on his final journey.
He would become even more explosive and might lose control and destroy his little world.
When Qi Fei arrived, Xing Yucheng was already too late. He died the moment the bridal sedan chair entered the door.
The wedding turned into a funeral, and no one in the Xing family paid any attention to the bride.
Qifei wouldn't deprive herself of her food and drink; she ate and drank as she pleased.
Those below, unaware of how the master handled the situation, naturally dared not be negligent.
By the time the Xing family finished the funeral arrangements and had time to spare, Qi Fei had been enjoying good food and drink for several days.
The First Madam was naturally unwilling, feeling that Qi Fei must have cursed her son to death, and harbored resentment.
Qifei will certainly not take the blame for this.
She wasn't the original owner of this body; she grew up under the cruelty of feudal society. Her actions were more ferocious than a tiger, making everyone in the Xing family feel they couldn't afford to offend her.
Finally, they agreed to let her leave as a widow and live separately.
The First Madam finally thought that if someone could guard Xing Yucheng, that would be fine, and swallowed her anger.
Qi Fei left the Xing residence without any trouble and eventually made her way to the capital.
The wife's family was as if they were dead; having a stepmother meant having a stepfather.
A stepmother is a one-off deal; once she marries someone off, she doesn't care whether they live or die.
Qi Fei was happy that the original owner's family didn't get involved, saving her the trouble of tearing the scum apart.
Shura could almost tell when Qifei arrived in this world just by looking at all the veins.
He arrived earlier than Qi Fei, and with his abilities, he was naturally valued by the emperor and promoted all the way to become the head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The turmoil in the capital was irrelevant to him; being a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard simply made it easier for him to find people.
Now that we've found the person, the next step is to figure out how to completely bring them into our sphere of influence.
After seeing off the last group of customers, Qifei had the waiter tidy up the front of the shop before closing it, and then she went to the backyard.
The backyard and the front shop are actually the same, but they are locked during the day.
The first thing she did upon entering the backyard was to lock the door, thus completely separating the back from the front.
She was impatient to have anyone around her, so she always lived alone.
After getting back, I took a bath first. I used water that was boiled in the front kitchen and took it to the backyard before locking the door.
It's perfect to soak in it now.
Qifei lay languidly in the bathtub, never expecting to encounter Shura today.
Moreover, strangely enough, Shura also has memories of his past life.
She clearly remembered that in the previous world, Shura didn't remember anything.
She still remembered what Shura looked like when he was a little puppy in the last world. This time, perhaps because he was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, his aura was much colder.
She had heard of the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) even among ordinary people.
However, considering Shura's personality, he does seem to fit well with the Imperial Guards.
Qifei circulated the demonic power within her body, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, wondering why she suddenly had so much more demonic power within her.
But I have no memory of how these extras came to be.
However, the fact that her demonic power has recovered a lot is a good thing for her.
She has now recovered most of her demonic power. If she can have a few more children with Shura in this world, her demonic power will be fully restored.
It's just unknown whether Shura will return to the God Realm once her demonic power is fully restored.
Qifei was momentarily lost in thought.
The realm of gods was something she, as a lowly demon, wouldn't even dare to dream of.
The sisters used to chat together often, and their dream at that time was to ascend to immortality.
For a demon at the lowest level, cultivating to become an immortal is extremely difficult.
To become a pomegranate fairy, one must endure nine bolts of heavenly lightning.
But is it easy to withstand heavenly lightning? Of course not.
Many monsters died under the heavenly lightning.
Although she has exhausted her cultivation, she is still alive and can regain her cultivation.
However, the next tribulation may be more difficult than the first one.
Qi Fei felt a little melancholy. If Shura returned to the God Realm, would she also have to return to her little world?
Can she forget Shura?
