Chapter 287 The World of Cultivation 46

The two walked towards the Fantasy Fruit Tree cautiously.

As they walked, Lin Xia realized something was wrong. Where was Wang Zhaozhao?

He stood there for a long time, reaching out his hands to feel around in the air, but he couldn't find anyone.

Lin Xia took a few tentative steps forward. The scenery around him suddenly changed and his body suddenly felt extremely heavy.

"Lu, it's time to eat."

The long-lost yet familiar voice made Lin Xia calm down in an instant.

It’s her grandmother. Only her grandmother would call her Lu Yazi.

Grandma said that she was in poor health and had to be given a cheap name. Because she was picked up on the side of the road, she was given the cheap nickname Lu Yazi.

Lin Xia was eager to go out and take a look. Even though she knew this scene was fake, she still wanted to see her grandma again.

He took three or two steps out of the room, moving too fast and breathing heavily like a broken bellows.

"Slow down, slow down. You know you're not feeling well, but you're still walking so fast."

Grandma walked up to Lin Xia and patted her back gently with concern. Lin Xia coughed and looked at her blankly. When she felt a little better, her grandma pulled her to the small dining table.

The dim little room was filled with cardboard and plastic mixed with the smell of food. It was a smell that was hard to describe, but Lin Xia did not feel disgusted at all. Instead, she solemnly engraved the scene in front of her firmly in her heart.

She sat on a small stool, looking at the meat dishes in front of her, then at the vegetables in her grandmother's bowl, and her heart felt extremely sour.

Her little old lady, with this burden, never enjoyed a single day of happiness.

"Grandma..." The voice was hoarse, with a hint of crying.

"Oh, Lu, why are you unhappy? Are you unwilling? Grandma won't mention it anymore."

Lin Xia didn't react to what her grandma said for a moment. She looked at their current attire carefully. She was wearing a junior high school uniform, so it could only be about that incident.

Sure enough, grandma continued.

"I will reject that family later. From now on, I will rely on myself. I will live one more day."

Lin Xia had already remembered this matter, about the ghost marriage.

Her grandmother was already ill and would not live for more than a few months, but she hadn't told her. Besides, she was very weak, and with her grandmother around, the meager salary of a sanitation worker, and the government subsidies, they could help her pay for medical treatment.

At that time, grandma knew that she was dying, and she was secretly very worried about money. She really wanted to leave some money for Lin Xia to live on, but they had no money at the time.

At this time, a family who wanted to arrange a ghost marriage came to my grandmother and offered 100,000 yuan to arrange a ghost marriage for Lin Xia and her son.

The family's attitude was very sincere. They said they would never disturb Lin Xia's life. If Lin Xia recovered from her illness, she could terminate the relationship. She only needed to return the 100,000 yuan including the principal and interest.

Grandma was moved by the 100,000 yuan. Lin Xia obviously wouldn't live long, and the 100,000 yuan could at least make her life a little easier in the future.

Lin Xia doesn't think so. People's hearts are hidden, and who knows whether that family is human or ghost. If it is simply to marry a dead person, she doesn't care. But what if the other party can't wait and wants to force her.

At the beginning, her desire to survive was particularly strong, and she didn't dare to gamble on anything that might threaten her life.

In short, she refused very firmly. A few months later, her grandmother passed away and she couldn't even afford the money for the funeral. In fact, she regretted it at that time.

With that money, grandma could live a few more years.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia sighed and agreed to the ghost marriage directly, just to make up for her past regret.

Grandma was very happy, but also unhappy, and kept saying that Lin Xia was pitiful.

After dinner, grandma went to contact that family. Lin Xia was very curious about the plot in the fantasy.

But she didn't expect that a few dark shadows would come up to her and talk to her about ghost marriage.

Lin Xia looked left and right but couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly. After thinking for a moment, she came to the conclusion that she didn't remember what that family looked like at all.

Without detailed memories, the illusion cannot be restored.

Lin Xia listened to the other person's chattering seriously, and looking at the dark face, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Lin Xia, child, how can you be so rude!" Grandma gently twisted Lin Xia's arm, motioning her to apologize.

"Sorry, I was distracted. I agree to all the conditions. Just give the money to my grandma."

The other party took out the contract suspiciously and asked Lin Xia to sign it.

She signed in two quick strokes and felt relieved when she saw her grandmother accept the 100,000 yuan.

After seeing off the family, Lin Xia turned to her grandmother and said softly, "Grandma, I'll be out for ten minutes. My classmate said he would come to see me at this time."

"Okay, okay." Grandma responded perfunctorily and looked around for a place to hide the money.

Lin Xia turned around and went out to catch up with the family.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxia?" Perhaps because he regarded Lin Xia as his daughter-in-law, the other party's tone was very gentle.

"Auntie, I need your help to get something."

"What is that?" Auntie Black Shadow was confused.

Lin Xia smiled brightly, and suddenly a dagger appeared in her hand, which quickly cut the other person's neck.

The illusion shook suddenly, and the scenery around her shattered into pieces. She turned her head to look at the dilapidated house behind her, watching it disappear inch by inch.

Goodbye, grandma.

"Sister, you finally woke up. You scared me to death."

Wang Zhaozhao held Lin Xia's hand holding the dagger, controlling her and preventing her from moving.

Because of her mental barrier, Wang Zhaozhao did not enter the illusion. She watched Lin Xia standing there with her eyes closed, and could not wake her up no matter what she did. After a while, Lin Xia suddenly swung out a dagger and cut straight at her neck, which scared her to death.

After hearing this, Lin Xia thought to herself, no wonder there was so much resistance in killing that black shadow. She thought the other party was too strong, but it turned out that there was someone outside interfering.

She gave a brief account of her situation, and then she and Wang Zhaozhao slowly approached the Fantasy Light Fruit Tree.

As the distance got closer, they felt that the tree was extremely tall, reaching straight into the sky. The two people standing under the tree looked very small.

They were unaware of the danger around them, so they flew up the tree and each picked up a fruit. When they wanted to pick the second fruit, it had disappeared.

"It seems we can only pick one." Wang Zhaozhao's tone was full of regret.

Lin Xia silently climbed down the tree and secretly activated his supernatural powers.

A thousand meters underground, a huge crack appeared out of nowhere, cutting the area under the tree for a thousand miles.

Wang Zhaozhao was nervous and stared at the ground. She felt a fluctuation of energy and thought that a big guy was about to appear.

Lin Xia didn't say anything, and used his special ability to cover the entire fruit tree. In the blink of an eye, the fruit tree was taken into the space, leaving a cube-shaped pit in front of him.

Wang Zhaozhao:! ! ! Where are the trees?

She walked forward to check the smooth cross-section of the pit, and in disbelief, she called Lin Xia to come and see.

Lin Xia looked at the unusually square pit and felt a little embarrassed. She had to forgive her for not being able to cut arcs with her [Spatial Cutting].

"Sister, look, the Phantom Light Tree is gone. There's no need to be so defensive about us in this place. Pick a fruit and it disappears. Now even the tree has been put away."

Lin. The tree collector. Xia didn't dare to say anything, but just quietly stuffed two phantom fruits into Wang Zhaozhao's hands.

Wang Zhaozhao opened his eyes wide, unable to speak for a long time. He just subconsciously put the fruit into the space, sneaked close to Lin Xia, and whispered to her.

"Sister, did you dig it?"

"Yeah." Lin Xia nodded slightly.

Wang Zhaozhao immediately pulled Lin Xia away from the pit and said, "Don't let us get discovered. Let's leave quickly."

The two men were trying to find a way out stealthily. Halfway through, they saw a flash of white light before their eyes and appeared on a flat ground. Not far away sat a familiar figure.

"Oh my god, Zhu Xun!"
