The sky was clear, and the leaves were rustling in the wind.

This sweltering summer heat is truly unbearable.

Unwilling to bear the heat, Wuxin spent the whole day soaking in the cool river water.

"I don't know what Ah Jiu means by staying here?" he muttered to himself.

These past few days, Li Xiao has been like a leech, impossible to shake off; she's been such a nuisance.

Although he was quite envious of his older brother and Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu wouldn't always follow his older brother like that.

Why……

He sighed deeply. If it weren't for that woman's schemes, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

On a large tree on the shore, Li Xiao swung her fair legs, looking at the man in the water.

She finally became a normal woman, able to pursue the men she liked.

Having finally caught up with him, how could she let him get away?

Thump!

She threw a stone into the water, right next to a man.

A stone fell, splashing water onto Wuxin's face.

Wu Xin was stunned. This woman was actually peeping at him while he was bathing.

"You, you crazy woman, get out, get out now!" He stood up angrily and cursed.

Li Xiao couldn't help but swallow hard as she looked at Wu Xin's figure. She had been a female ghost for a thousand years, and had seen many handsome men.

But each time, I can only look at it; I can't actually use it myself.

Things are different now. We can see clearly, and we can even...

Thump!

With that thought in mind, she jumped directly from the tree into the river.

Wuxin, as if seeing a ghost, turned around and entered the space, where he quickly put on his clothes.

"This, this woman is really, really crazy!" He felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

"Wuxin, how could you do this? You promised to marry me!" Li Xiao was furious.

But there's nothing she can do if someone hides in their own space.

"Wuxin, come out quickly! I'm your wife, how can you ignore me? I've almost exhausted my cultivation for you, don't you have any compassion at all?" She shouted in the direction where Wuxin disappeared.

Wu Xin simply stayed in the space and wouldn't go out; he simply couldn't stand this woman's enthusiasm.

Li Xiao called out for a while, but received no response. Angrily, she stomped her foot and went ashore to leave.

She ran away crying, running to find Ajiu.

After hearing Li Xiao finish explaining the situation, Jin Jiu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You, you, waaaah, why are you still laughing at me?" Li Xiao cried even harder when she saw A Jiu laughing like this.

Why……

Jin Jiu couldn't help but sigh: "Li Xiao, no one could withstand your offensive. You're too ruthless."

Even the fox spirit standing next to her couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly remembering something, Li Xiao hurriedly grabbed the fox beauty: "Fox beauty, I've heard that the fox clan knows the art of bewitching, why don't you teach me?"

Fox Beauty glanced at Li Xiao helplessly and said, "Wuxin grew up in Buddhism, so he's just a blockhead."

It's certainly not easy to win over a block of wood, but if you use seduction, Wuxin will hate you even more once he finds out.

"Then, what should we do? I finally waited for him, I can't just give up, can I?" Li smiled anxiously.

Liu Yueyue gave her a good suggestion.

“Leave him out for a few days, let him know you don’t need him!” she said.

The fox spirit agreed with her master's suggestion.

"Playing hard to get is sometimes better than pouncing on someone directly." It sensed that Wuxin didn't like women who were like leeches stuck to you.

"Is this...okay?" Li Xiao was worried that she might encounter many beauties on the way back, and that she might be lured away by another woman.

...

Since everyone decided to enjoy the scenery along the way, they did not fly, but instead drove back in several horse-drawn carriages.

Of course, besides enjoying the scenery, it was also to fulfill Wuxin and Lixiao's wishes.

Master Hsing Yun once said that Wuxin and Lixiao's meeting was due to cause and effect, and everyone wanted to fulfill this cause and effect.

The carriage swayed and rattled as it arrived at a small town, a town they hadn't stopped in before.

At this time, a hot wind was blowing, and the townspeople were still sitting on chairs in front of their homes, enjoying the cool air.

Some people even set up barbecue stalls outside, and many customers were sitting in front of several small taverns.

"It seems the world is at peace; people are willing to come out at night." Xiao Mingrong really enjoyed this peaceful feeling.

“Yes, we’ve seen so many desolate and deserted towns and villages along the way, this place is quite peaceful,” Jin Jiu said with a sigh.

Chen Feng jumped down from the carriage next to him and ran to his master's carriage.

"Chen Feng, what is it?" Jin Jiu asked.

"Master, where should we eat? I see that the taverns in town are quite crowded." Chen Feng could smell the roasted meat; it smelled so good.

"You can arrange it however you like, we don't mind." Kim Gu thought the atmosphere here was nice, and he was fine with going anywhere.

Inside the carriage, Da Bao and the others sat.

Da Bao lifted the curtain next to him to look at the scenery outside, while Yuan Yuan and Beng Beng lifted the curtain on the other side.

Yuanyuan turned her head and noticed that her second brother had his ears perked up as if listening to something. She asked in a low voice, "Second brother, what's wrong?"

Erbao snapped out of his daze and said in a low voice, "Yuanyuan, shall we ride in the same carriage with Uncle Hua starting tomorrow?"

"Why is that?" Da Bao didn't quite understand. Wasn't it good to be with his parents?

Yuanyuan immediately understood what her second brother meant, and said with a chuckle, "Big brother, don't ask anymore, just listen to your second brother."

The second brother is meticulous, while the eldest brother is sometimes a bit silly, but his silliness is quite adorable. I just wonder what kind of sister-in-law he will find in the future.

Da Bao scratched his head, still not understanding what his younger brother meant.

The carriage moved forward for a while and then stopped. Jin Jiu and Xiao Mingrong got off the carriage.

They had a total of ten carriages. Although not all of them could come out, they could take turns.

There were definitely not enough seats in one tavern for so many people, so everyone spread out.

The distillery owner couldn't stop smiling, but there were often passing merchants who would also keep some spare ingredients.

Those who run wineries also have ice cellars in their homes.

This small town isn't too far from the county seat, so buying groceries is quite convenient.

Erbao and his friends didn't want to disturb their parents' love, so they went to eat at another house instead of the flowery-clothed pants.

There weren't many people at Jin Jiu's table; it consisted of him and his wife, Turtle Prime Minister, Mountain King, and Master Xingyun and his disciple.

In the afternoon, when they were riding in the carriage, Fox Beauty took Li Xiao to sit in the back carriage, sharing a carriage with Chen Feng and his wife.

Wuxin sat down and looked around, but he didn't see Li Xiao at the other tables.

Could it be because of what happened this afternoon that the woman left?
