Xue Kong also didn't know the content of the conversation between Mr. Zhong and the old man of the Qin family. However, after a period of time, he gradually found that the voices opposing him and wanting to drive him away were almost gone.
It seemed as if everyone in the city had changed their temperament overnight.
Even when he met Xue Kong on the street, the look he cast towards him was no longer one of hostility and wariness, but of awe.
This look of awe was hidden, and Xue Kong naturally did not notice it.
Spring passes and autumn comes.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
Before he knew it, two years had passed since Xue Kong came to Jinlin City. He had experienced a lot in these two years, but he had spent most of his time with Uncle Zhong and Ruyi.
Sometimes he accompanies Mr. Zhong to go fishing at sea.
Xue Kong, who had lost the power of position, had encountered monsters several times. Fortunately, the monsters were not very strong, and Uncle Zhong solved the crisis by summoning the crying baby.
As the saying goes, time breeds love.
After two years of getting along, Xue Kong and Ruyi have secretly developed feelings for each other.
For a hot-blooded young man, it is not easy to hide his love. In front of Ruyi, his love becomes naked.
But if it is like a memory, it is much more obscure.
If it weren't for Mr. Zhong's mediation, it would be hard to say when the relationship between the two would warm up.
With the secret help of Mr. Zhong.
One night, Xue Kong and Ruyi expressed their love to each other.
"I don't want to know about your past, nor do I covet your future. I just want the present, for you." A blush appeared on Ruyi's heroic face.
She blinked, her eyes clear and sparkling.
"Sister Ruyi..." Xue Kong stroked Ruyi's arms gently. The excitement and anticipation in his heart made him feel as if he was dreaming, full of unreality.
Passionate love has never been a necessity.
Xue Kong and Ruyi understood each other's feelings and their own hearts in this mutual support. They hugged each other tightly under the bright moonlight.
Ruyi is a good girl and does not expect a grand wedding banquet like others.
But Xue Kong didn't think so.
Even though he was short of money, he borrowed some money on credit from several shopkeepers with whom he had good relations on the same street, and bought the things he needed for the wedding banquet.
Xue Kong did not hold a big wedding banquet, but only informed some friends he knew.
As Mr. Zhong's house became more and more cheerful, this matter gradually became known to others even though no one deliberately told others about it.
For a moment, the entire Jinlin City began to boil as if cold water had been added to a hot pot.
The day before the wedding banquet, there was a steady stream of gifts sent from all over, but they did not receive Xue Kong's invitation. They just put the gifts at the gate of the courtyard and left quietly.
When Xue Kong pushed open the courtyard door and saw the gifts scattered all over the floor, a happy smile spread across his face: "This scene really seems like a lifetime ago."
"I never thought that in just two years, I went from being an unwelcome outsider to being like this now. Even if I didn't invite them, they would take the initiative to send me gifts."
"Could it be that my impression of them is still stuck in the past, and now I have been accepted by them?"
"Husband, you have been standing here for a long time, what are you thinking about?" A gentle voice came from behind.
Xue Kong turned around and saw Ruyi, who was dressed in a red dress and as beautiful as a flower, approaching slowly. He was immediately overjoyed and put his arm around Ruyi's soft waist, whispering, "There are so many gifts at the door."
"They were all sent by the neighbors. I was wondering whether I should send them invitations and invite them to attend our wedding banquet." Xue Kong rubbed his nose and made no decision.
Neither he nor Ruyi likes to show off.
Even though it was a lifelong event like a wedding banquet, the two had originally just planned to have fun with their relatives and friends. But now, seeing the enthusiasm of their neighbors, they felt that they had done something wrong.
"Please accept the gifts. After the wedding banquet, we will visit each of them to express our gratitude." Ruyi said.
Ruyi has always been opinionated.
Although Xue Kong is a man and Ruyi is a woman, only Uncle Zhong knows this. At home, Ruyi usually has the final say.
The wedding banquet ended in a very ordinary way.
It did not cause any sensation, and the union of the two only caused a brief stir in the Golden Scale City.
The people of Jinlin City actually did not fully accept Xue Kong's existence. After all, his background as an immortal made it difficult for people to approach him.
Now that Xue Kong and Ruyi are married and staying in Jinlin City, they feel more close to each other.
The day after the wedding banquet.
Ruyi took Xue Kong to walk through the streets and alleys, visiting the people who had sent gifts one by one.
It was not until this moment that Xue Kong felt that he had truly integrated into Jinlin City, this mortal city.
at the same time.
In a private room of a restaurant in Jinlin City, Honglian looked calm, her eyes looking straight ahead, as if she could penetrate all obstacles and fall on Xue Kong who was walking through the streets.
Seeing Xue Kong and Ruyi being so intimate and loving, an inexplicable ripple arose in her heart.
In the past two years, she has been staying in Jinlin City and witnessed everything Xue Kong experienced.
Although there was no obvious improvement in her own Tao, she got a different feeling from Xue Kong.
"What exactly is his Tao?" Honglian whispered in her heart. This was a question she had never figured out. More than two years had passed, and there seemed to be no progress in Xue Kong's Tao.
Not even a trace of Tao thought appeared.
"A third of this new life has already passed. Next, it's time to have children, raise them, grow old, and die. Will I finally gain enlightenment then?"
This is a normal mortal life, short and sad.
Almost every mortal lives a short life of just a few decades, following the rules and regulations.
Some people don't even know for whom they live.
He just knew that since everyone else was living like this, he would live like this too.
Losing yourself, not seeing yourself, and only living in the eyes of others is sad and lamentable.
"Perhaps life has been sad from the very beginning." A light flashed in Honglian's eyes, and the thought of sadness in her body increased slightly, which made her stagnant cultivation level improve a little.
Ruyi and Xue Kong spent half a month walking around the streets and visiting all the people who had sent gifts.
Half a month later, their lives returned to normal again.
When not going out to sea, Xue Kong not only accompanies Ruyi but also takes good care of the livestock in the front yard, which provide them with food for the winter.
This day.
Uncle Zhong and Ruyi went out to buy silk cloth, planning to make some clothes.
Xue Kong was bored and alone in his room. He took out a red cloth bag from under his pillow, opened it, and saw a withered seed lying quietly inside.
Round and plump, with wrinkles and wrinkles.
"This seed was left behind by the demon beast itself. I kept it with me all the time. Two years have passed, and I still haven't found any use for it."
"Is it really like what that female cultivator said, that I have become a worthless vulgar thing?" There was a hint of disappointment in Xue Kong's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Kong stood up with the seeds and went to the backyard.
