Luan Hua sat cross-legged by the roadside, a blade of grass between his teeth. A stray dog sniffed around and trotted up to him, then raised its hind leg and marked a spot.
"Go away!" Luan Hua spat out the grass in her mouth and waved the puppy away.
He rested his chin on one hand, contemplating the current situation.
He inexplicably returned to his childhood, which was nothing special. The important thing was that he had no cultivation at all now. The poor, once powerful Demon Lord had turned back into a little beggar on the street.
As he was lost in thought, his stomach started growling.
"Sigh..." He sighed deeply. The most important thing now was to fill his stomach. He propped himself up, put his hands behind his head, and swaggered into the crowd.
He hasn't had to worry about food and drink for a long time.
He worked for the woman selling steamed buns for an hour and successfully earned five steamed buns as payment.
The woman selling steamed buns could never have imagined that the future Demon Lord would be working for her! Luan Hua thought to herself as she chewed on her bun.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
Wait, he's not the Demon Lord anymore, nor has he joined a celestial sect, which means...
Let's start from the beginning!
He shivered, his blood rushing with excitement, igniting every cell in his body.
Li... no, Lin Banjian entered the Immortal Sect after him, which means she could very well still be in her hometown!
Therefore, he can change the course of everything before it even begins!
There is no Jinyun, no Jiliang, no immortal sect, and no demon cave.
Only Lin Banjian!
Where was her hometown again? He frantically searched his memory.
Qinggeng Village!
Yes, this is the place!
Qinggeng Village was such a small place that it wasn't even marked on the map. He asked around and finally found out about Qinggeng Village from an old farmer.
"Qinggeng Village? That's far from here! What are you going there for? They're not as rich as we are here, young man. If you want to find a job, you don't have to travel all that way."
"I'm looking for someone; my wife is there."
The old farmer looked him up and down, clearly disbelieving. "Your wife? How old are you to have a wife?"
"My fiancée," Luan Hua changed his words.
The old farmer then began to believe it with some skepticism.
"You're going, but it's a long way! There's a big river in the middle, you'll have to take a boat!"
"Taking a boat is fine, I'm in a hurry. Uncle, could you give me directions?"
The old farmer drew him a rough map and told him how to get there. Luan Hua thanked him repeatedly and carefully put the map in his pocket.
Luan Hua was thinking about the route when she was knocked down after only a few steps.
"You're so young, don't you have eyes?" The person who hit him not only didn't apologize, but instead started cursing at him.
Luan Hua had never suffered such humiliation before. He immediately retorted, "How dare you speak to me like that! You're asking for it!" Coupled with his murderous gaze and aloof demeanor, if he were still the Demon Lord, he would have scared the person half to death.
Unfortunately, he is now a beggar.
The person who bumped into him was furious that he dared to talk back and speak so arrogantly. He punched Luan Hua to the ground and then called his cronies to surround Luan Hua and beat him up.
Luan Hua only realized the reality when she fell to the ground.
He is no longer the Demon Lord.
The group stopped beating Luan Hua until he was covered in bruises. Seeing that he was no longer moving, they were afraid of actually killing him and getting into legal trouble. They left with a few curses and muttered insults.
Luan Hua lay on the ground for a long time before finally getting up, grimacing.
He wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and staggered to his feet.
He bent down and found that his clothes were torn, with a corner of a few silver coins sticking out.
It turned out that, for insurance purposes, he had specially sewed the money into the inside of his clothes.
Ignoring the pain, Luan Hua grinned.
With money, many things become much easier!
He vaguely remembered that he had indeed done that when he was a teenager. If those guys hadn't beaten him up, he probably would still be worrying about money! Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?
Along the way, Luan Hua traveled on foot, on horseback, and even with a caravan for a while before finally arriving at the port.
"Young man, taking a boat ride?" The crew had already spotted him.
"Yes, is this to Qinggeng Village?"
"Just passing by, I'll let you know when I get there and I'll put it down for you!"
"Okay, how much?" Luan Hua took out a few copper coins.
How many of you are there?
"It's just me."
"Alright! Three copper coins per person!"
Luan Hua counted out three copper coins and was about to place them in the sailor's hand when he heard a voice behind him:
"Young man, I would also like to board the ship, but unfortunately I didn't bring enough money. Could you please let me on board?"
Luan Hua and the crew members looked at him at the same time.
Luan Hua had just recognized the voice, and when he saw who it was, his brows furrowed instantly.
"Three copper coins, and I'll give you a great opportunity."
