Chapter 1: Transformed into a Mother of Four Children
"Mom seems to be out of breath."
In a daze, I only heard a girl whispering in a low voice.
After a moment, another young man's voice was heard.
"Well, that's good. She won't be able to sell you to that old widower."
The girl seemed a little reluctant, and her voice became even lower: "But she is our mother after all..."
The young man sighed, feeling more helpless than before: "We treat her as our mother, but when has she ever treated us as her children?"
"My brothers and sisters have already been sold, and now they want to sell you too. If I weren't crippled and no one wanted me, I would have been sold too."
A depressing silence followed, and only the shallow breathing of the two could be heard.
Xiao Ying's mind was in a mess. Who was talking? Where was this place? What was going on with her?
She only remembered that she had taken a group of elders and disciples to explore a newly opened secret realm, but they underestimated the danger of the secret realm and lost many people as soon as they entered the outer periphery.
And she was also attacked by a restriction when she opened a palace, and even her Nascent Soul couldn't escape.
Before she died, she could only sigh. She never expected that she, a genius in the world of immortal cultivation and a great Nascent Soul master, would perish in such a secret realm. She didn't know if she would be laughed at if the news got out.
However, she didn't expect that she seemed to have encountered some accidents and was trapped in a body.
Is this not completely dead?
She always hated being out of control, and her consciousness began to struggle.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and then froze in shock.
What came into view was a low, leaky thatched house with yellow and black walls that were broken and rotten.
Standing in front of me were a man and a woman, the boy and girl who had just spoken.
Both of them were equally skinny and pale, with skin and bones showing, and their tattered clothes were full of patches.
The boy looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and the girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old. It was obvious that they were malnourished.
Even so, one can see that her features are clear and her foundation is good. If she can be carefully cared for and recover her health, she will surely grow up to be very handsome and beautiful.
Perhaps because they noticed that she had suddenly woken up, the two of them took a step back in shock, their faces full of disbelief.
"Mom, you, you're awake..."
The girl looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her hands were shaking with fear and her face was pale.
The boy clenched his fists, with a hint of vigilance and disappointment in his eyes.
Could it be that mother heard what they just said?
The two men felt a chill down their spines, as if they had already imagined the scene of that vicious woman chasing them, insulting and beating them.
Xiao Ying suddenly felt a pain in her head, and countless fragments of memories flooded into her mind like a torrent, impacting her consciousness.
She closed her eyes, quickly sorted out her thoughts, and finally knew what had happened to her.
She actually traveled through time again.
The first time was when he traveled from the technological world to the world of immortal cultivation, and this time was when he traveled from the world of immortal cultivation to a very backward secular world, a feudal society.
Now the owner of this body is also called Xiao Ying, and even looks very similar to her, which makes her wonder if she has arrived in the legendary parallel time and space.
But Xiao Ying's personality is completely different from hers. He has been rude, lazy and ignorant since childhood.
After her husband died unexpectedly eight years ago, her temperament changed drastically. She became irritable and gloomy, and she became addicted to gambling. She beat and scolded her four children and had no motherly love for them at all.
In order to repay his gambling debts, he sold his two youngest children in the past two years, and today he is going to sell the third one.
As a result, just as he was pulling his daughter out of the house, he was hit on the head by a tile falling from the eaves, and died from then on...
It's really God's will.
Serves you right!
Xiao Ying cursed inwardly.
Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs. Selling your own children is worse than an animal.
Wait, four kids?
She is a genius cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years and has never even found a Taoist partner, but now she has become the mother of four children?
Xiao Ying couldn't help but be silent for a moment, but the silence only lasted for a short moment before he accepted it.
Just four children. Although she had no children in her previous life, she had many disciples and grandchildren, and she raised them as her own children.
Since she is not completely dead, God has given her a chance to start over and become this self in a suspected parallel universe. She must seize it.
"Mom, how are you?"
The girl's voice brought her back to consciousness. Xiao Ying opened her eyes again and looked at the two of them.
She has four children, two sons and two daughters. The two in front of her are the eldest son Chen Xinghai and the eldest daughter Chen Xingyun. The former is sixteen and the latter is only fourteen.
Chen Xinghai had an accident when he was a child and his leg was crushed, so he became lame. His personality also became introverted and self-abased, but he loved his younger siblings very much.
Chen Xingyun is honest, obedient, hardworking and willing to work hard.
It was also because of this that the original owner did not sell her before, but kept her to work and do laundry and cooking for himself to earn money.
The remaining two are named Chen Xinghe and Chen Xingyue. Chen Xinghe is twelve years old this year. He has been sold to the mayor's family for two years and has been working as a servant in the mayor's family.
This child has been extremely intelligent since childhood. At the age of three, he could recite "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" by heart, and at the age of four, he could even write them all out from memory. The villagers all praised him for being as talented as his father and said he would be a good student in the future.
It’s a pity that his road to genius came to an abrupt end at the age of five.
That year, his father went to the capital to take the imperial examination, but he had an accident on the way and died. He never had the chance to study again.
Then there is the youngest, Chen Xingyue, who is only nine years old this year.
The poor girl was pawned to a wealthy family in town as a maid by her gambling mother half a year ago. Since then, the original body has never visited her once, and I don’t know how she is doing now?
These pieces of information flashed through his mind one by one, and Xiao Ying spat at his original body several times.
No wonder even God couldn't bear it and let her replace the other person.
"Headache."
Meeting the two children's solemn gazes, she spoke softly.
"I'll go get a doctor for my mother."
Chen Xingyun immediately became nervous and was about to run out.
"etc……"
Before Xiao Ying finished speaking, she felt another sharp pain in her head. A ball of golden light slowly spread out and instantly spread to her limbs and bones, which made her pain disappear instantly and she felt more energetic.
That’s great. I don’t even need to see a doctor since my family doesn’t have the money to pay for the consultation anyway.
She was slightly startled, and then showed surprise. It turned out to be that secret realm!
No one knew what had happened, but the secret realm had actually bound her soul and came here with her.
As the information about the secret realm flooded into her mind, she became more and more delighted. The secret realm actually gave her some control, allowing her to enter and exit and use the supplies inside.
It turns out that this secret realm is an immortal residence named Xiaoyao, which is the cave left behind by the Immortal Xiaoyao before he ascended to heaven ten thousand years ago.
There are countless rare treasures inside, and the space is extremely huge, divided into three parts: outer gate, inner gate and core.
But now she has only gained control of the outer gate, or to be more precise, control of a very small part of the outer gate.
When my consciousness entered, I saw a lush green scene. It turned out to be a spiritual field full of crops. The spiritual field was surrounded by thick white fog, making it difficult to see the scenery inside.
This spiritual field is only about one acre in size, and grows golden spiritual rice with plump grains and abundant spiritual energy. If all of it is harvested, it would probably weigh about a thousand kilograms.
Xiao Ying was very satisfied. This way, at least he wouldn't have to worry about having nothing to eat for a short period of time.
He looked towards the east side of the spiritual field, where there was a well filled with spiritual spring water.
There is also a small and exquisite wooden house next to it, which must have been the residence of the monk who cultivated this spiritual field.
When I probed with my consciousness, I found that there were three wooden houses in total.
The first room is the kitchen, which has everything you need, including a stove, pots, pans, and a large pile of chopped wood.
It seems that the owner is a Qi-refining cultivator and has not yet practiced fasting.
The room in the middle is a place for meditation and rest. It is simply furnished with only a wooden bed, a table, chairs, benches and a futon.
The last room is the storage room, which is also the most valuable place.
There were two shelves of goods in the room. On one shelf were some jade slips and bottles and jars, which were some low-level cultivation techniques, strange stories and records, and a small number of low-level elixirs.
Speaking of which, the elixir has been stored for so many years, and I don’t know if it still has any medicinal effect.
On another shelf were several boxes and some low-level magical tools.
Xiao Ying looked at them one by one and found that the box actually contained several magical herbs, such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, etc. They were not very old, only about fifty to one hundred years old.
The magic weapons are also common ones such as daggers, knives, bows and arrows, which are suitable for cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, but will be considered rubbish in the middle stage.
She didn't mind. No matter how bad these things were, they were still a hundred times better than the weapons in the secular world and were enough for her to use now.
The next most important step is to confirm whether this body has spiritual roots.
As long as she has it, she can embark on the path of cultivating immortals again.
"Where are the people? Where did they go?"
"Auntie Xiao, you agreed to sell your daughter to me today!"
Just as I was pondering it carefully, I was suddenly interrupted by a rough and fierce voice.
Xiao Ying frowned and immediately regained consciousness.
Only then did he remember that his original body was going to sell Chen Xingyun to an old widower in the village today. Seeing that it was already afternoon, it must be the old widower who came to claim the person.
