The original owner's wish was to accompany her master and let him enjoy his old age in peace, so Xiao Li accompanied him on his travels.

Try all the delicious food.

Before, they had no money and had to gather their own ingredients. Now that Xiaoli has come, everything is different.

Xiao Li used her spiritual power to draw a talisman, and then she succeeded.

Xuanzhi was stunned. It wasn't that there were no spirit talismans in this world, but their numbers were extremely rare.

These talismans could easily fetch astronomical prices at auction.

Xiao Li did not draw any powerful talismans, such as lightning-summoning talismans or fire-explosion talismans.

Xiao Li pays great attention to these aspects, trying her best not to affect the world. She only draws small, practical talismans such as cleaning talismans, water sphere talismans, and disease-curing talismans.

Even these kinds of talismans are in short supply.

Xiao Li only sold a small portion of the talismans, and stopped once she had enough money, completely ignoring those who asked for them.

The two of them traveled all over the continent until eighty years later, when Xuanzhi finally felt tired and wanted to return to Qingfeng Temple.

Xiao Li knew that her master was about to leave.

The average lifespan of people in this world is one hundred years, but only those with profound inner strength can extend their lifespan to one hundred and fifty years.

When the two returned, Xuanzhen was also very old. He had already abdicated the abbotship to his disciple and was living out his retirement in the temple.

Xuanzhen is still alive thanks to the spiritual fruit that Xiaoli brought back. Although Xuanzhi is very impatient with Xuanzhen's clinginess, Xuanzhen is the person he wants to protect.

When the two old people met, they were just like when they were children, teasing each other for a while, but then feeling completely satisfied.

Ten days later, the two passed away one after the other. Xiao Li took care of their funeral arrangements before leaving this world.

(over)

Xuanzhi is very content with his life. His body has many hidden injuries, all of which were left over from his years of wandering outside.

He already had little time left to live, so he was willing to die to protect his young apprentice.

He was a little disappointed that he didn't have time to drink a sip of mushroom soup before he died.

Fortunately, he survived and was able to see his lively disciple and annoying junior brother again. That was wonderful.

Oh right, the mushroom soup he'd been longing for was still there, which gave him a little more motivation to cultivate.

Three years later, he finally regained his strength and was able to drink that soup. He was so happy that he almost fainted.

My apprentice is exceptionally talented; he has actually mastered the skill of drawing talismans, and he has also realized his dream of becoming incredibly wealthy.

He can finally drink mushroom soup every day.

He had no regrets in this life and passed away with a smile.

Fan Xiaoli is the daughter of the village chief of Fanjiacun Village. She is 16 years old this year and is in the prime of her youth and beauty.

One day, while crossing a log bridge, she noticed the river was rising and became frightened, so she fell off the bridge.

She clung tightly to the wooden bucket containing the clothes, soaking in the river and calling for help.

"Help! Please help me!"

Just then, Li Ke, a scholar from the neighboring village, passed by.

Without thinking, he jumped in and rescued the person, only to run into Big Mouth Granny Li on the shore.

This old woman, Li, loved to gossip, so people had long forgotten her real name and called her Li the Big Mouth.

Within three days, all the nearby villages knew about it.

Fan Xiaoli's parents were both very shrewd people. They quickly went to Li Xiucai's house and made a scene, insisting that someone come to propose marriage.

"Li Xiucai, you've ruined my daughter's reputation. If you don't marry her, who will?"

"That's right, we won't ask for much in betrothal money, just fifty taels of silver will do."

It is said that poor scholars are rich officials who pass the imperial examinations, and Li Ke's family belongs to the category of poor scholars.

He was furious. He had clearly done a good deed and saved someone, so how could he be being extorted by someone now?

"You, you are simply outrageous!"

He was filled with regret, wishing he hadn't been blind back then.

Moreover, he already had someone he liked; he and his mentor's daughter were in love, but they just hadn't confessed their feelings yet.

Despite his reputation, Li Xiucai eventually went to propose marriage, but he simply couldn't come up with the fifty taels of silver, so he had to write an IOU.

Mr. Fan happily put the IOU into his pocket; it was fifty taels of silver!

A month later, Fan Xiaoli married into the Li family with two bundles of dowry.

No one knew that Fan Xiaoli was not actually doing this willingly.

Just like Li Ke has a sweetheart, she also has a secret crush.

She and Tan Yong'an, the family's long-term worker, were attracted to each other. Tan Yong'an was handsome and sturdy.

The two of them always exchanged glances, and the only thing they lacked was that promise.

Who knew that this fall into the water would tear two couples apart?

Fan Xiaoli was only sad for a while, but she understood her situation.

In this era, a woman's reputation was paramount, and she truly couldn't marry anyone other than Li Ke.

Therefore, after she got married, she served her parents-in-law, was respectful to her husband, managed the household affairs, and fulfilled the duties of a new daughter-in-law.

Li Ke felt no joy at all, only that he had been wronged.

On his wedding night, he got himself drunk and fell into a deep sleep, murmuring the name of his beloved.

“Meng’er…”

Although Fan Xiaoli didn't know what he was saying, she could tell it was a girl's name.

She felt sad for a while, but she empathized with Li Ke even more, because she also had a name she couldn't forget in her heart.

?

Xiao Li arrived at this moment, and she glanced at Li Ke, who was sleeping on the bed.

He had thick eyebrows and a straight nose, making him quite handsome, and he also seemed to have a good physique. However, the name he was muttering to himself sounded rather jarring.

"Meng'er, don't go..."

Xiao Li grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground.

"Bang……"

Li Ke was fast asleep and showed no signs of waking up. He turned over and continued sleeping.

Xiao Li tidied up the bed and took off her wedding dress; the bright red dress was just too jarring.

He found a light green long robe in the original owner's bag and casually put it on.

The original owner was dragged out of bed early this morning by her parents to get dressed, and after arriving at the Li family's house, she didn't eat anything and was already starving.

The Li family was very dissatisfied with Fan's parents, so they took their anger out on her and treated her badly.

After everyone finished the wedding feast, it seemed as if they had forgotten her existence, and no one brought her any food.

There wasn't even any festivities in the bridal chamber; they simply shoved the groom into the room, and then the whole group left in a flurry.

Xiao Li took out a large plate of chicken, roast goose, fruit platter, and red wine from her spatial storage...

They sat down at the round table and began to eat heartily.

"It smells so good!"
