During the New Year, Mr. and Mrs. Li returned home after many years, bringing with them a beautiful girl.
She had come back once six hundred years ago, when she was still a baby. This girl was the second child born to the Li family, and was Li Yi's younger sister.
He brought the child back and asked Li Yi to name him, and he was named Li Anxiao.
There is no special purpose, it's just too small.
"Call me big brother." Mother Li pushed Li Anxiao who was hiding behind her. Li Anxiao, who was already three hundred years old, stood in front of Li Yi a little stiffly, and only dared to glance at that ordinary face with the corner of his eyes.
The voice was soft and said, "An Xiao pays his respects to big brother."
These words made Li Yi unable to help but laugh. He wanted to reach out and pick her up as he usually did, but suddenly he found that his little sister had grown into a beautiful young lady, so he just touched her head.
"I haven't seen you for a few years and you've grown so big."
".I haven't seen you, brother, for three hundred years."
Li Anxiao, who was being stroked on the head, couldn't help but shake his head like a kitten and subconsciously rubbed Li Yi's palm.
She had not been in contact with Li Yi for too long, but blood was thicker than water, not to mention that she grew up listening to the legend of her own brother.
"I haven't come to see you for three hundred years, you must be very sad."
"My parents didn't allow me to come. They forced me to practice martial arts for decades at a time."
Li An complained quietly, then looked at Li Yi expectantly and said, "If big brother can get parents to exempt me from my homework, I will definitely come to see big brother every day."
"You hate practicing?"
"It's not annoying, just a little boring."
"Then why don't you go out and gain experience? For example, join an academy. I remember that there are competitions of varying sizes among young monks every year."
"Daddy won't allow me to do that. He said I'm still young."
"Three hundred years is indeed still young."
"ah?"
Li Anxiao blinked.
The current average life expectancy in society is around 120 years old, and 300 years old is already longer than many people who have lived to build a foundation.
Li Yi saw that the other party was a little confused, so he looked up at his parents and asked through voice transmission: "What do you say your cultivation level is?"
Li Xingguo also replied in a voice transmission: "Yuanying, otherwise this girl will jump to the sky. You can raise her in wealth, but you can't raise her in luxury from a young age. It will not help her cultivation."
"Xiaoxiao is preparing for her Nascent Soul stage recently. How about you help us raise her for a while? Your mother and I are not young anymore."
Father Li asked Li Yi for his opinion. He glanced at the white hair on the other's head, smiled and did not give a direct answer.
"You still have a long time to live, why are you in such a hurry to throw it to me? I don't even have a place to live myself."
"In your situation, you probably won't have any offspring in this life. You see, Xiao Xiao is still able to have children. There's a saying that the closest person to you besides your mother is your uncle."
"That day is still a long way off. The birth rate among monks is already low, and even fewer of them get married."
Not every monk has a partner. Love is by no means a necessity for monks. On the contrary, it is more like a burden.
Many people who are determined to become monks may be able to keep their bodies intact throughout their lives.
He had read a survey report on the marriage rate of cultivators. The most Taoist partners were in the Qi training and foundation building stage, while only one in twenty people in the Jindan stage had a Taoist partner, and one in one percent in the Yuanying stage.
It is uncertain whether Li Anxiao will have a Taoist partner in the future, and Li Yi will not interfere with her too much.
Li Yi pulled Li Anxiao into the house, and the latter looked up and said, "Brother, has Sister-in-law Dong come out of confinement this time?"
She liked Dong Yunshu very much and would knock on his door every time she came as a child.
"I'm out of isolation." Li Yi touched his waist.
In recent months, Dong Yunshu and others have basically come out of seclusion because of the New Year. And when they meet again after a long separation, they naturally have to share the joy and happiness. Li Yi can be said to be partying every night. If he didn't have some capital, he would have done it as an adult.
This forced Li Yi to start learning some sexual techniques.
Entering the house, the Li family mansion was decorated with lights and Tuer had already prepared a large table of food. Li Anxiao once again saw her beautiful sisters-in-law.
Relying on her younger generation advantage, she quickly won the favor of the other girls.
At dinner time, the huge dining table was full of people.
Li Yi counted each person carefully, watching their every move under the New Year lights, occasionally raising a glass or drinking with his father Zhao Si, or chatting with his wife and children, or joking with his two sisters.
In this life, he has four wives who love him through thick and thin, parents who raised him, a sister with whom he has a good relationship, brothers who he has grown up with, and several incompetent apprentices.
Having all relatives and friends around is a kind of perfection.
——
The Chinese Era has been around for 4,000 years. It is the beginning of a new era and the whole world is celebrating.
Li Yi stood under the big tree outside the door. The old tree spirit held a piece of dead wood and helped him knock down four fruits. They were the size of a fist and looked like peaches, with a skin as smooth as an apple.
All the energy is contained within. A ray of vitality can turn thousands of acres of desert into lush grasslands. A fruit planted can benefit thousands of miles of territory. If used to grow livestock, it can foster civilization and feed billions of people.
Put it into a brown cloth bag, sealing off all life. The old tree spirit handed it to Li Yi and said, "One is one thousand years old, one is one thousand three hundred years old, and the remaining two are two thousand years old."
Li Yi said with some surprise: "Why is your age increasing?"
The old tree spirit replied, "I am not standing still. Besides, the upper limit of the world has been raised, and the lifespan of living beings will naturally be raised. Theoretically, I can grant immortality to your family members, up to two of them. Beyond this range, I can allow them to live for tens of thousands of years."
"But I don't recommend you do that. They may not be able to bear it."
Li Yi tied up the bag and hung it on his shoulder. In response to his friend's warning, he said calmly, "Everyone has his or her end. I won't force anyone, not even my parents. I just let them live as long as they want, not as long as I want them to live."
