Chapter 59 Taking a Stroll
Lying beneath a peach tree at Sigu Gate, Qing'er seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction—the direction where the Xiao family resided. She curled the corners of her lips into a smile. "Thought death would bring relief? Death is just the beginning."
When Qiao Wanmian died, Qing'er went to this part of the underworld for a stroll. She didn't intend to do anything, just to ask them to wait for Xiao Zijin to come down so she could take him for a walk in the eighteenth level of hell.
At first, Yama disagreed, saying it was against the rules. So Qing'er politely "greeted" him. Seeing how polite she was, Yama was moved and agreed. When Qing'er left, he was still shedding tears of reluctance.
Before leaving, she instructed them to send Yun Biqiu to keep Shan Gudao company. Yama, of course, dared not disobey and readily agreed.
As for Shan Gu Dao, he's still frying in oil. After all, given what he did in the mortal world, he'll have to wait at least a hundred years before he can be reincarnated.
Three months have passed since Qing'er and the others returned. It has to be said that Feng Qing is really capable. Since he came along, Li Lianhua has been idle. So Qing'er gave Li Lianhua a bunch of cultivation techniques. Because Li Lianhua's Yangzhou Slow is very good, it suits him well and is also close to the cultivation techniques. So she gave him the techniques to refer to and he can modify Yangzhou Slow into a cultivation technique.
While Qing'er was idly lost in thought, Li Lianhua walked over from a distance. Li Lianhua sat down next to Qing'er and said with a smile, "Look at you, so bored. Are you thinking about something interesting?"
Qing'er's eyes lit up. "Li Lianhua, you've emerged from seclusion? Have you finished revising your cultivation technique?"
Li Lianhua shook his head. "It's not completely revised yet, but it's starting to take shape. I was worried you'd get bored if you stayed alone for too long, so I thought I'd talk to you." What he didn't say was that it would be finished in at most half a month.
Qing'er's eyes sparkled. "That's amazing!" Li Lianhua smiled slightly as he looked at Qing'er's praising expression.
Li Lianhua thought that it was almost the end of the year, so she said to Qing'er, "Qing'er, it's almost the New Year. Shall we go back to Yunyin Mountain tomorrow and spend it with Master, Mistress and Brother?" They had only been back for a few days when they sent Li Xiangxian back to Yunyin Mountain to stay with Qimu Mountain and the others. After all, he could cultivate properly there. He wanted to wait until he had cultivated a physical body before going down the mountain.
Qing'er was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant and replied, "Okay." She hadn't expected time to fly by; several months had already passed since she arrived in this world. It seemed she would have to go back there after the New Year.
The next day, Qing'er and Li Lianhua set off back to Yunyin Mountain. On the way back, Qing'er asked Li Lianhua with great interest what they were going to prepare for the New Year.
Li Lianhua answered them all patiently.
However… Qing'er sighed, realizing that despite living so long, she had never truly experienced the feeling of celebrating the New Year. In Heaven, there was no such festival as the New Year. Her knowledge of the New Year stemmed solely from a faint memory of her divine soul and the brief two or three years she had spent in the mortal realm.
At that time, although she was in the mortal world, she was all alone and did not pay much attention to how the people around her celebrated the New Year. She just watched from afar as people decorated their homes with lanterns and decorations and joyfully welcomed the New Year, but she could not feel the same joy in her heart, so she did not linger.
Upon arriving at Yunyin Mountain and disembarking from the flying vehicle, Li Lianhua shouted, "Master, Mistress, Brother, I'm back!"
"You brat, you're back, so what are you yelling for?" Qi Mushan walked out with a dark face, accompanied by Granny Cen and Li Xiangxian.
Li Xiangxian stood to the side, smiling. Although he hadn't yet cultivated a physical body, his cultivation level was already high enough that everyone could see him.
Granny Cen bypassed Li Lianhua and grabbed Qing'er's hand, looking her up and down. "Qing'er, why have you lost weight? Has Xiangyi not taken good care of you?"
Li Lianhua rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "What kind of look is that from my master's wife? Where has she lost weight?"
