As she sighed, she once again realized in her heart that not only can appearance not make a living, but sometimes it can also drive people crazy and stupid - it really has no benefits but only harms!
Ran Ran did not think that she would make any great achievements in the way of immortal cultivation, she just wanted to cure diseases and avoid disasters. When she became healthy in the future, she would go down the mountain to reunite with her parents and marry an honest and decent man.
The man she was looking for was probably a sturdy young man. She couldn't get one as handsome as her master, and she didn't dare to get one! Otherwise, she would have to worry about getting her face cut by a knife, and she wouldn't be able to eat well!
Ran Ran was greedy, but she would never ask for food from anyone. Since her master was a peach offered on the immortal table, she naturally wouldn't even think about it since she couldn't touch the peach hairs.
Although I can’t eat it, it’s still a pleasure to look at it occasionally…
She was distracted for a moment while looking at her master's face, and picked up the little kitten on the table that was showing off to her, and started to stroke its fur.
Although the cat was unwilling, the feeling of having its chin and belly kneaded was too exhilarating, so the cries gradually stopped and it just raised its paws and squinted its eyes to enjoy it.
Su Yishui did not warn his little disciple of her misbehavior. He just let her stare at his face for a while before he used his long fingers to push a cup of dark tea in front of her and said calmly, "Drink it."
Ran Ran came back to his senses suddenly, picked up the teacup and drank it with some embarrassment, but as soon as he took a sip, the taste that was a hundred times more sour than the soup went straight to his forehead along the tip of his tongue.
She instinctively wanted to vomit, but Su Yishui turned his long fingers and gently tapped her neck.
Ranran couldn't control herself and swallowed all the strange-tasting tea in one gulp.
A girl who has valued food since she was young, she never wants to give up even if she is very hungry. After all, simple food can also show its true sweet taste after careful preparation.
Radish and greens can also be eaten in eight ways!
But what was that tea she just drank? Could it be something freshly scooped out of the cesspool?
Ranran wanted to vomit but couldn't. She just opened her eyes wide and tears of grievance fell down, causing the cat in her arms to lick her tears.
But after licking it, the cat seemed to be overwhelmed by the smell of the medicine. It meowed and ran away quickly.
Su Yishui knew that the tea tasted bad, but he didn't expect her to be so coquettish and actually cried sadly.
Although he had attracted many women from all over the world, Immortal Su obviously had no tricks to coax women. He frowned and looked at her for a moment, then stood up, picked an orange from a nearby orange tree, and handed it to his tearful disciple.
Although Ran Ran had a good temper, she couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't take the orange, but just choked up and said aggrievedly: "What did you give me to drink?"
Su Yishui's hands froze there. Finally, he frowned and slowly peeled the orange for her, then handed the separated flesh back to her: "There are some herbs added in it. As for what they are, it's better for you not to know."
Ran Ran's imagination ran wild now, from various beetles and snakes to spiders and bedbugs. He became even more anxious and uneasy. He moved his lips and said timidly, "Master, are you punishing me because my pills ruined your three years of fasting?"
Su Yishui slowly brought the fruit pulp to her mouth, then forced it back into her mouth, and said calmly: "This soup is good for you, it can't be considered a punishment."
The previous cup of medicine was added with dried thousand-year-old black Jiao dragon larvae - Jiao is a deep-sea water beast with a strong fishy smell on its body. Drinking the water boiled with the exotic beast dragon larvae can cover up the five elements of spiritual energy in the body.
She is a spirit child who fell from the Reincarnation Tree. Although her adoptive parents deliberately confused people and reported her birth year incorrectly, anyone who has a connection with the Reincarnation Tree will recognize the Muhua spirit aura when they see her.
After drinking the juice boiled with black dragon worms, this early-fallen fruit will be lost in the crowd and no one can recognize it anymore.
Unfortunately, the side effects of drinking the potion were a bit serious. For example, in the first few days, there was always a lingering fishy smell on the body. At this time, Xue Ranran felt that the smell on his body was unbearable.
Su Yishui didn't show any disgust, and he even sat beside her and fed her oranges without changing his expression.
Ranran came to her senses and refused to let him feed her anymore, but she had no appetite even after taking the orange.
"What... were you thinking about when you were refining the Qingxin Pill?" Su Yishui suddenly asked.
After getting over the initial fishy smell, Ran Ran was finally able to calm down and said, "...I just missed the meat buns..."
"What else?"
Xue Ranran thought about it, and found that she couldn't help but speak out her inner thoughts under his clear eyes: "I was still wondering... what the master looks like, and whether he is as good-looking as you are in terms of manners..."
When Su Yishui heard this, he did not reprimand her for being reckless, but asked calmly, "Are you satisfied with my appearance?"
Ran Ran nodded shyly - not only was she satisfied, but she was also very lucky to have such a beautiful and charming master!
Su Yishui nodded in satisfaction and said to her, "Remember what I told you. Don't tell others about my recovery or that I asked you to do something on the mountain top."
Ranran was already used to her master's mysterious demeanor, so she just nodded obediently.
Although the master did not admit that he was punishing her, the fact was probably true. After coming down from the top of West Mountain, Ran Ran, who had always been optimistic and cheerful, had never felt so sad before.
Why do delicious red bean cakes taste like raw fish scales?
Afraid that the smell on his body would disturb his fellow seniors, Xue Ranran simply took a sick leave and hid in his room without coming out.
But within two days, Gaocang, Qiu Xier and the others could not bear it anymore.
Qiu Xier said to Ran Ran who was hiding in the quilt through the window: "Little Junior Sister, if you don't come out to cook, we will all die on the road to becoming immortals. Do you know? Second Senior Uncle has fed us radishes for three meals in a row, and those radishes were all burnt and bitter, which is really unbearable!"
Ran Ran said in a muffled voice: "There are ingredients in the kitchen. Second Uncle's cooking is not tasty. You can cook for the brothers!"
Qiu Xi swallowed hard as she thought about the slowly simmering red-braised lion's head and almond-fried beets. She couldn't say that her cooking skills were even worse than that of her second uncle Yu Tong, right?
Fortunately, three days later, when Ran Ran woke up, she suddenly found that the bad smell on her body had dissipated. She took out some dried sweet potatoes from her snack jar, ate a handful with relish, and sighed with regret.
I heard that after forming the elixir, people who have ascended to the primordial stage cannot distinguish between sweetness, sourness, bitterness and spiciness. So what is so good about being immortal without any desires?
She couldn't tell the difference between delicious food and delicious food for three days, and she felt miserable. Would those powerful immortals feel regret when they see the fireworks in the human world?
However, Ranran's days of slacking off were over, because his master finally came out from the top of the mountain, leaving retreat early and heading to Jueshan.
It seems that the commotion of the three major sects was useful. Su Yishui finally decided to go to Jueshan in person to meet Wei Yan.
Jueshan is Ranran's hometown, and it would be nice to go back and have a look. Before leaving, she even took the time to go down the mountain to see her parents.
Although it was only a brief meeting in a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, it was even more precious.
Qiao Lian and her husband Xue Liangui rented a shop in a nearby village and sold tofu pudding for breakfast every morning. Carpenter Xue helped grind the beans and light the fire in the morning, and walked around the streets during the day taking odd jobs repairing wooden objects.
Although it was harder, she earned more than when she was in Juefeng Village. Qiaolian could only see her children once a month, and the packages she brought with her when she came were all full.
There are all kinds of snacks, such as newly made flower-patterned jackets, quilts with new cotton wool, and all kinds of preserved fruits and dried meats. There is also homemade stir-fried pork with shredded pickled vegetables that is easy to store, plus salted duck eggs oozing with butter. If the food is not good, you can have two bowls of dry rice with these.
Because she didn't know what the food was like in the mountains, Qiao Lian was worried that her good little girl would be hungry.
When they heard Ranran say that she wanted to go to Jueshan with Mr. Su, Qiaolian and his wife also wanted to go.
However, Ranran said that the master would also take them to learn the art of controlling the wind, and they would have to walk all the way, which would probably be very tiring.
Moreover, there are so many young children in the same school. If she is the only one taking care of her parents, her fellow disciples might be dissatisfied with her.
Qiao Lian felt distressed again after hearing this. If it weren't for the fact that her daughter's cheeks had become plump and she had grown taller, like a young seedling soaked in magic dew, she would have really wanted to take her daughter home immediately.
So Qiaolian secretly told her daughter not to take cultivation too seriously, because Ranran would have to go down the mountain and get married in the future. If she felt tired, she could ask her master for help and pay for her to rent a donkey to rest on the way.
As he said this, he stuffed the three taels of silver that his daughter had specially received from Second Uncle-Master back into her arms, and told her not to put herself in a difficult situation when she went out.
Ran Ran naturally refused to take it, but Qiao Lian was a little annoyed: "Your father and I have hands and feet, and now we earn enough money to spend. As the old saying goes, a poor family can become rich on the road! If you carry more money with you, your father and I will feel more at ease!"
So Ranran had no choice but to accept it, but she didn't know how to spend it because she wanted to save money to build a big house for her parents.
The carpenter couple could not go into the mountain, so Ran Ran had to carry the things back by himself. The package was too heavy, and his steps on the mountain gradually slowed down.
Fortunately, two senior brothers, Gao Cang and Bai Baishan, "happened" to be strolling down the mountain, and they helped the junior sister carry the things.
When young men and women are together, even if there is no eye contact, there will be some ambiguous feelings between them.
Besides Uncle Tie Gong Ji, there were only two girls on the mountain: Qiu Xier and Xue Ranran. Although Qiu Xier was not ugly, she had a heart disease, her lips were slightly purple, and her figure was not slim enough.
Ranran, whose body has recovered a little, has rosy lips and white teeth, and a pair of bright eyes that are full of affection. Such a graceful girl, wouldn't any gentleman want to marry her?
Gao Cang was confused and just felt very happy when he saw his junior sister, and he couldn't help but raise his voice when he spoke.
Second brother Bai Baishan was well versed in the ways of the world. Although he got along well with Qiu Xier, after telling her stories about immortal history, he would also look at Xue Ranran to see if she showed him admiration.
Now that they had the opportunity to show their courtesy to their junior sister, the two senior brothers worked very hard.
Gao Cang rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and full muscles. He carried all the packages on his shoulders like a rooster shaking its tail, and walked in front of Ranran with great speed.
Bai Baishan was beside the little junior sister, telling jokes about their practice from time to time, which made Ranran smile.
The scene of two young boys chasing and laughing with a young girl in the mountains is really pleasing to the eyes.
At least Yu Tong, who was standing halfway up the mountain, felt as if he had returned to the scene twenty years ago when Lingxi Palace was full of handsome young men.
While sighing, she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "West Hill has been quiet for too long. Even the birds haven't heard such hearty laughter for a long time..."
The master standing in front of her was also looking down the mountain - the thoughtful female disciple was taking out her handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her senior brother who was sweating profusely!
