The boy woke up feeling much better.
Yunqi: "You're awake? We've just entered the city, let's get off the bus."
The boy followed Yunqi into the clothing store, changed into suitable new clothes, and when he came out, he had grown into a handsome young gentleman.
I bought quite a lot of things along the way.
The boy followed Yunqi into the inn, ate something, and then went back to their respective rooms.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Yunqi opened the door, and the boy at the door hesitated.
"Come in."
"Thank you for saving me."
"Is there something you need from me?"
"I want to know, why did you save me?"
"If I wanted to save them, I did. There's no reason why."
Aren't you afraid I'll cause you trouble?
"If I were afraid of trouble, I wouldn't have saved you." Yun Qi poured him a cup of tea. "With enough strength, no trouble is trouble. The main problem is that you're too weak."
"Yes...it's true that I'm too weak..."
"You're still young, you'll become strong in the future."
"Fairy sister...can you teach me to become stronger?"
Yunqi took a sip of tea: "Why should I teach you?"
"..." Indeed, she didn't need to teach him. He was just a burden now...
Yunqi then gestured for the boy to drink the tea: "Try this tea first, and then tell me your thoughts."
The young man sipped the tea carefully and then said, "This tea has a refreshing aroma and tastes very pleasant. After drinking it, I feel light and full of energy."
Yun Qi used her spiritual power to probe: "Not bad! Excellent talent, lightning-type celestial spiritual root."
The young man relaxed his brows. The old man inside him also said that he had exceptional talent, possessing a lightning-type celestial spiritual root, and was capable of cultivating immortality.
He carries a deep-seated hatred, and he is determined to become stronger! He is determined to take revenge!
The boy actually preferred to believe Yunqi more than the old man inside his body!
"If you have nowhere to go, just come with me for now."
"Thank you, fairy sister!"
Yunqi coughed lightly: "My name is Chu Yunqi, and I am a cultivator. In terms of age, I could be your ancestor. Please don't call me 'Fairy Sister'."
"Then what should I call you?"
...I can't possibly expect him to call me 'ancestor,' can I?!
"Ahem... Call me Sister Yunqi, or just call me Sister."
"Okay, sister."
"Is there anything else? If not, go back and rest."
“Sister…I…my name is Xiao Mo…I am the youngest son of the Xiao family, the only survivor of the massacre of the entire family…”
"Oh, then I'll call you 'Xiao Mo' from now on."
Xiao Mo looked at Yun Qi with surprise and delight: "Sister, are you still willing to take me in?!"
"Yes. You can leave anytime you want."
"I won't leave! I want to stay with my sister!"
"what ever."
In the days that followed, Xiao Mo followed Yun Qi northward. After arriving in Tianfeng City, Yun Qi settled the driver's wages.
The task of driving the carriage fell to Xiao Mo. Through these days of interaction, Xiao Mo discovered that Yun Qi was a cultivator who loved food, was indifferent to other things, was peaceful, and rarely got angry.
He has been taking good care of Yunqi these days, ensuring she gets enough to eat, and she has visibly grown taller.
Yunqi gave him several beginner-level cultivation manuals and told him to practice them on his own.
The spiritual energy in the human realm is not as abundant as that in the cultivation realm, but Xiao Mo is exceptionally talented. In just a few days, he cultivated the Qi Sensation and entered the Qi Refining stage, which can only be described as genius.
In his spare time, Xiao Mo would practice the Xiao Family Sword Manual on his own, and Yun Qi would watch him practice, occasionally offering a few pointers: "Your swordsmanship is not bad, but you are too slow in striking the sword."
Yun Qi got excited and took out a sword from her ring, demonstrating it to Xiao Mo with fluid movements: "Did you see that clearly?"
"Um."
"Take this sword; it will be enough for you until you reach the Golden Core stage."
"Thank you, sister!"
Yunqi told Xiao Mo her purpose in coming to Tianfeng City: she came to the human realm to find the descendants of the Chu family.
"Sister, Tianzhuang Village is just ahead."
Yunqi took out a paper doll, and the little paper doll flew away on its own...
The little paper figure flew to a house and stopped.
Xiao Mo stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Excuse me, is this the Chu family's residence?"
A woman came to open the door. Looking at the woman who was as beautiful as an angel and the handsome young man before her, she asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"
"Madam, I am a cultivator, entrusted by someone to come to the mortal realm to find the descendants of the Chu family. May I ask if this is the Chu family?"
The three children inside the house watched them curiously. The little paper figure floated excitedly toward the three children, who were attracted by it and jumped up and down, trying to catch it from the air.
The bloodline has become even more diluted over the millennia, but it is undoubtedly a descendant of the Chu family.
"My husband's surname is Chu. He's gone hunting and hasn't come back yet."
Are there any other families with the surname Chu in the village?
"No, that's all. We're the only family in the village with the surname Chu."
Yunqi nodded: "When is your husband coming back?"
"It depends. They'll usually be back before dark."
"Can we wait for him to come back in the yard?"
The woman hesitated for a moment before agreeing. She thought they were well-dressed and probably not bad people. Besides, she was poor and had nothing to offer them.
Yunqi flicked her finger and retrieved the little paper figure.
The three children chased the paper doll to Yunqi, and watched as Yunqi performed a magic trick, making the paper doll disappear directly in her hand. They all stared wide-eyed.
The older children asked, "You can do magic tricks?!"
Yunqi looked at the three adorable children and nodded: "I guess so."
