Chapter 16 Painful Mao Ruxue
Chapter 16: The Painful Journey of Mao Ruxue
It's truly unbelievable. The legendary cold and ruthless Emperor Song turned out to be such a good person. Who could have imagined?
If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have been so worried and scared when she found out she had to meet Emperor Song.
"It's better to go to sleep early and return tomorrow morning."
With this in mind, Mao Ruxue closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, before dawn, Mao Ruxue woke up early.
After a simple tidying up, she arrived at the gate of the Hall of Rebirth.
After inputting her identity card here, she was teleported away.
In no time, she appeared in a city called Sifang in Zhongzhou.
In a secluded corner, Mao Ruxue's figure appeared here.
Arriving in Sifang City didn't mean the end of her journey. Sifang City was still over a thousand miles away from Heavenly Water Sect.
But this was already the closest teleportation array set up by the Hall of Rebirth to Heavenly Water Sect.
There were other teleportation arrays in different parts of Sifang City.
There was even a teleportation array that directly led to Heavenly River City below Heavenly Water Sect.
But, it required payment!
Mao Ruxue couldn't possibly walk back over a thousand miles.
After all, if she relied solely on herself, it would take forever.
So, she looked at her wallet.
In the end, Mao Ruxue gritted her teeth and painfully took out a piece of Dao Yuan Stone from it.
She arrived at a formation called Sifang Teleportation Array and inserted it into a slot that was exposed on the formation.
In the next moment, the formation activated.
With a flash of white light, Mao Ruxue's figure disappeared from the original location.
When she reappeared, she had already arrived in Heavenly River City at the foot of the Heavenly Water Sect's mountain.
"Sigh, I must quickly break through my cultivation."
"Otherwise, if things continue like this, I might become the first person in history to be impoverished to death in the underworld."
Looking at the familiar scenery of Heavenly River City, Mao Ruxue really wanted to cry.
For these years, she had been working hard at the Hall of Rebirth just to earn some Dao Yuan Stones for her future cultivation when she reached the third realm.
But...
After earning for so long, just two trips' worth of travel expenses almost depleted her savings.
This situation was really unbearable!
"Never mind, forget it, Mao Ruxue, believe in yourself, you can do it!"
After giving herself some encouragement, Mao Ruxue walked out of the teleportation array and headed towards the direction of the city's grocery street.
Besides meeting Emperor Song, the other reason she came down the mountain was to buy some things to bring back.
There was no choice, the mountain was really poor, there was nothing.
If she didn't become self-reliant, Mao Ruxue felt that one day she might starve to death there.
[Oh my, I really don't know how my cheap senior brother managed to survive all these years.]
So...
Arriving at the rice market, seeing that there was rice for sale, without a doubt, she bought it!
Salt, bought!
Mulberry tree seeds, bought!
Carrot seeds, bought!
Pot, bought!
Ladle, bought!
Free-range wild chicken, bought!
Shovel, bought!
Wild cabbage, bought!
Along the way, Mao Ruxue's hands were full of various things.
Fortunately, these things only required gold, silver, and copper coins, not Dao Yuan Stones. Otherwise, Mao Ruxue felt that she would definitely cry to death here today.
"Alright, it's done, let's go."
After buying everything, Mao Ruxue clapped her hands and headed back up the mountain with her things.
As the sun rose in the east, a purple aura came from the east.
When it was just getting light, at the gate of Hidden Dao Mountain, Mao Ruxue's figure appeared here.
It was Mao Ruxue, carrying bags and climbing for over an hour, she finally reached the mountain.
"Master, your disciple has come to see you."
Mao Ruxue first went to Yang Han's grave.
"Senior brother said before that you loved drinking, so this time I brought a pot of the best Er Yue Xiang good wine for you."
"Here, Master, have a taste of this fresh dish."
Arriving at Yang Han's grave, Mao Ruxue opened one of the packages behind her and took out a jar of wine.
She opened the bottle cap, and a strong aroma of wine immediately filled the air.
Then, Mao Ruxue evenly poured half of the jar of wine in front of the grave, and placed the remaining half as an offering in front of the tombstone.
"Master, rest assured, I will take good care of Senior Brother."
"Although Senior Brother cannot cultivate, I will not bully him."
"I will definitely take good care of Senior Brother in his old age, and then inherit his family business."
After doing all this, Mao Ruxue finally entered the room.
She lit the fire, put the pot on, and heated the oil.
Before long, thick smoke rose above Hidden Dao Mountain.
"Cough, cough, cough~!"
The strong smoke made Mao Ruxue cough several times involuntarily.
After a while, a plate of delicious stir-fried meat and cabbage was freshly cooked.
"Not bad, it seems that my cooking skills haven't declined."
"Continue!"
Looking at the perfectly cooked stir-fried meat, Mao Ruxue nodded in satisfaction, then turned and entered a state of concentration.
Time passed minute by minute.
In the Sutra Pavilion at the back of Hidden Dao Mountain, Chen Chang'an woke up early in the morning.
As usual, after a simple search, he lay down on a window-side position, holding the "Taishang Dao Scripture" in his hand, quietly reading.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, are you here?"
After an unknown amount of time, a crisp voice sounded.
Then, Mao Ruxue walked in.
"Hmm, I'm here, is there something you need?"
Chen Chang'an put down the book and looked at Mao Ruxue.
"Senior Brother, I've come to greet you."
"Yesterday, I had some things to do and went down the mountain, so I couldn't greet you in time. Please forgive me."
Greeting him was something Mao Ruxue did every day since coming up the mountain.
But today was a bit different.
At the end, Mao Ruxue suddenly smiled.
Then, she looked at Chen Chang'an and said,
"Senior Brother, hehe, I just made some breakfast."
"Do you want to eat with me?"
When it came to eating breakfast, Mao Ruxue felt that her Senior Brother was simply amazing.
She had been on the mountain for more than ten days and had never seen him eat breakfast.
Not only breakfast, she hadn't seen him eat lunch or dinner either!
If it weren't for occasionally seeing him roast and eat wild rabbits and mountain chickens on the mountain, she would have suspected that her Senior Brother was a Saint.
In this world, who doesn't eat?
"You made breakfast?"
Hearing Mao Ruxue's words, Chen Chang'an was momentarily stunned.
To be honest, after his cultivation reached the Sixth Realm six years ago, he hadn't eaten anything since then.
Occasionally, he would go down the mountain to catch a few mountain chickens to roast when he felt like it.
Other than that, he had long forgotten what food tasted like.
"Uh-huh."
"Hehe, Senior Brother, I knew you hadn't eaten breakfast yet."
"I've already brought the food to the table outside. Please critique my cooking, Senior Brother."
Mao Ruxue smiled mischievously with her hands behind her back.
"Alright, then I'll give it a try?"
Chen Chang'an didn't refuse.
Although he hadn't eaten anything for many years, it wouldn't hurt to taste something new occasionally.
Well, Chen Chang'an admitted that the reason he didn't eat breakfast before was mainly because he was lazy.
Now, it seemed that a cook had appeared on the mountain, so he couldn't resist not eating.
"Okay, Senior Brother, follow me."
Seeing Chen Chang'an nod, Mao Ruxue smiled happily.
Then, she led Chen Chang'an to the small courtyard in front of the Sutra Pavilion.
On the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, a table full of delicious dishes had already been prepared.
There were both meat and vegetables, and the selection was quite complete.
