Chapter 110 Good Child
When Ye Xiaoman left, Li Jiumo followed closely behind her, trying to stop her, like a helpless mother.
"My dear, go stay outside for a few days first. Once your master has cleaned up your room, you can move back in."
After saying that, he personally helped Ye Xiaoman smooth out the wrinkles on her collar.
After Ye Xiaoman walked out of the house, he leaned against the door frame until her back disappeared.
So cute.
She's just a little thin, so I'll have to cook more for her in the future.
Compared to his lifespan of thousands of years, this is just a good human cub, and he needs to take good care of it.
The mother's sense of mission made Li Jiumo's brows overflow with tenderness, as if a soul was injected into him and he was given a second life.
He turned around and started tidying up the yard.
He had just woken up from a long sleep, and the residence really looked too desolate, no wonder the little thing was disgusted.
He waved his sleeves, the weeds were automatically cleared away, and the dry pond was filled with clean water.
When Li Jiumo was making a swing that children would like, a video call came in.
"Jiu Mo Immortal Lord."
The person in charge of the Charity Bureau on the other end of the video first said a lot of polite greetings to Li Jiumo.
The background is an orphanage, with many adopted children running around and playing in the open space.
Li Jiumo spent almost all of his savings on adopting abandoned babies.
He looked at the steward suspiciously: "Mr. Yan, you seem to look different than before."
"In reply to the Immortal Lord, you have been in seclusion for three hundred years. Your great-grandfather has passed away. Now I am the one reporting to you."
"Hmm, I've been asleep for three hundred years. What happened to the cricket?"
After Li Jiumo finished asking, an elderly man walked out from behind the steward and bowed to him excitedly, "Godfather!"
Li Jiumo smiled and said, "When we last met, you were still a child. I didn't expect that when we meet again, you've already grown gray-haired."
Cricket quietly raised his head and glanced at Li Jiumo from the corner of his eyes. He had been pestering the steward to see Li Jiumo because his life span was coming to an end and he wanted to ask Li Jiumo for the elixir that would prolong his life...
Although Li Jiumo was a weirdo with a mental problem, he expressed his desire to be his mother the first time he saw him. When he was a child, he would always tremble with fear for no reason when he saw Li Jiumo...
While he was distracted, he heard Li Jiumo laugh, "Good boy, come closer, let me see what you have been through during my absence."
Before Cricket could react, he felt an invisible hand inserted into his head, making him cry out in pain.
In an instant, Li Jiumo had read out all his memories, no matter how big or small.
Li Jiumo flipped through his memories, muttering to himself as if savoring them:
"In the autumn of his 25th year, in order to seize the cultivation secret manual, he murdered the family of Master Jiang in Guangling County, slaughtering all 15 members of the Jiang family in one night."
"At the age of 31, in the intercalary month, believing rumors, he pushed three of his fellow disciples into the alchemy furnace and burned their flesh and bones to refine human pills..."
Cricket broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He had done many evil things in the past under the protection of Li Jiumo.
But then he heard Li Jiumo say calmly, "None of this is your fault. It was my negligence in guiding you in cultivation that led you to take so many detours."
Cricket was overjoyed: "Thank you for your understanding, foster father. I have changed my ways and will not dare to do it again."
"It's just that," Li Jiumo's tone suddenly became disappointed, "Why could you do such a thing?"
Cricket's smile disappeared: "Yi, godfather..."
Li Jiumo: "At 45, having achieved some success in life, you despised your wife's age and lack of beauty, and had an affair with a female cultivator named Zheng. When your wife found out, she wanted to divorce you, but you coveted her property and refused to agree. So, you teamed up with female cultivator Zheng to kill someone and steal their money."
"After that, he married more than 50 wives and concubines and had more than 60 children."
Li Jiumo sighed: "I can forgive any wrong you have done, but your promiscuity is the only thing that touches my reverse scale."
Cricket was racking his brains to come up with something to say in defense, but he felt the giant hand pressing on his head getting heavier and heavier.
In a moment, he turned into a pile of crushed flesh and blood and remained where he was.
Not only him, but when he died, hundreds of faint screams were heard in the air. All of Cricket's descendants, as well as their bloodlines, were ruthlessly wiped out like dirt on a wall.
"Immortal Lord Jiumo!" The manager and other responsible persons were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
The children playing nearby heard some strange noises and looked over here curiously. Li Jiumo gave them a kind and compassionate smile.
The cricket's ugly dead body turned into ashes and was blown away by the wind.
Li Jiumo's innocent expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process. He said regretfully, "Why are there so many imperfect children in this world? It's a waste of my time cultivating them."
The steward rested his forehead against the dirt and said hurriedly, "We will definitely find the perfect seedling for you."
"No need." Li Jiumo said happily, "I have already adopted a good child."
He recalled the scene of Ye Xiaoman slowly descending from mid-air in the light, holding the nameless sword.
The beautiful scene reminded him of an old friend, Li Nishang.
Whenever he thought of Li Nishang, his heart ached with joy.
Soon, he will be able to ascend to heaven. Then he will sew Ye Xiaoman into his stomach and take Ye Xiaoman to the world above to find Li Nishang. Then their family of three will definitely live a happy life.
Li Jiumo fantasized about a beautiful future, with madness in his eyes and smiled foolishly.
"Junior sister, this will be your residence from now on."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao."
"What's our relationship? No need to thank me."
Immortal Wusheng was very generous. When he heard Xiao Chujing report that Ye Xiaoman was going to move in with him, he immediately agreed to allocate a mountain top for her.
Xiao Chujing gave the north-facing, spiritually rich house he had originally obtained to Ye Xiaoman. Their residences faced each other like the outer gate, and were connected by a flying bridge, making it very convenient for them to meet each other.
Xiao Chujing pretended to be regretful and said, "Brother, you work in the outer sect. From now on, you will only be able to visit the inner sect once every ten days or half a month."
Sikong Qing replied: "Don't bother with that. I've already applied for a place in the inner gate's cafeteria. It's more than enough for me to come to your shabby place to see Ye Xiaoman for three meals a day."
Xiao Chujing's smile immediately faded.
"Then you must be careful when helping out in the kitchen. It's easy to get kicked out for mistakes at work."
"You too. It's hot and humid in the summer, and it's easy for people to die from eating the wrong things."
Ye Xiaoman left in a hurry without taking a good look at the house.
【Jiaying: Two hours have passed, and you're still not well.】
Jiaying: The clouds in the sky must be missing you so much that they've taken on your appearance. Even the sound of the wind sounds like your voice.
【Jiaying: I want to pick you up and take you home.】
[Ye Xiaoman: Don't leave the room. I'll be back to find you soon.]
