An Mingji narrowed his peach blossom eyes and earnestly promised, "I will work hard on my cultivation every day!"
If not for the youth sitting across from her, Gu Jin would have loved to reach out and touch his soft hair.
Facing the obedient youth, she smiled with her eyes, "Let’s eat first, we’ll discuss this matter at length. Your diet needs improvent, I will refine so elixirs for you to quickly boost your cultivation."
"Alright—"
After dining, Gu Jin brought out the fruits filled with spiritual energy from the space, washed them clean, and presented them before An Mingji.
Cherries, strawberries, apples, peaches, pears, various seasonal fruits piled onto a full plate.
Gu Jin raised her chin towards the youth, "Eat them all."
Ever since achieving cultivation, An Mingji could sense the faint spiritual energy in the vegetables and fruits he ate daily.
In the past two years, his cultivation advanced rapidly, attributing undeniable credit to these fruits and vegetables.
He also knew sister A-Jin was hiding sothing from him, but he was obedient and never asked.
In the days ahead, he has ample ti to slowly uncover the truth, he is patient.
However, seeing the plate brimming with fruits today, An Mingji’s eyes flashed with surprise; today’s fruits seed more than double the usual amount.
"Eat up, it’s good for you."
"Alright—"
The youth took the fruit plate and chose his favorites to eat first.
With each bite, he absorbed the spiritual energy to stabilize his cultivation.
Starting from this day, An Mingji had a fruit platter morning, noon, and night.
Along with Gu Jin occasionally providing him with elixirs to strengthen the body, enhance energy, and balance the five elents.
...
That night, Gu Jin had a dream.
The dream felt incredibly real, just like the vivid dreams she had two years ago upon rebirth.
This ti it wasn’t about An Mingji, but her cousin, Gu Minmin.
In the dream, she saw herself ignoring the old man’s subtle dissuasion and leaving Qingshan Village with Steward Zhen.
Holding onto the hopes for her biological parents and the aspiration for a better future, she left the Gu Family.
Shortly after her departure, a butcher from the neighboring village drank too much, saw Gu Minmin walking alone on the path, and harbored thoughts he shouldn’t have.
Gu Minmin fought desperately but ultimately couldn’t escape.
In the dream, the scene was very blurry, with Gu Jin only hearing Gu Minmin constantly crying.
She saw the dense grass swaying as if blown by wind.
Despite the absence of wind, the tall and dense grass swayed as if a gust had swept through.
From there, ca the girl’s sorrowful and frightened cries.
The scene shifted.
Gu Jin saw the butcher co knocking at midnight, forcing her uncle and aunt to marry off Gu Minmin or ruin her reputation.
His eyes fixed on Gu Minmin standing behind her aunt, dark and malicious like a hyena.
To avoid the scandal of their daughter’s dishonor spreading, her uncle and aunt agreed to the marriage.
Gu grandfather wanted to protect Gu Minmin, but the butcher wickedly spread news of his shaless act with Gu Minmin, ultimately forcing her to quit school and marry.
On the wedding day, the light in her eyes was dimd, her heart deadened.
Then followed her tragic life.
Lying in bed, Gu Jin suddenly opened her eyes, moonlight streaming through the window revealed the faint shimr in her eyes.
Reflecting on the scenes in the dream, Gu Jin couldn’t distinguish between truth and fiction.
If true, the life of the past Gu Minmin was truly a hell on earth.
Even more agonizing than all she endured in her past life.
In the dream, she saw Gu Minmin living in hell every day after marrying the butcher.
