The woman in question wasn't an ordinary person; she was Qionghua Shuiyu, whom Chen Xun had t twice before in Xuanwei Heaven.
She had changed her appearance sowhat, and now openly exuded the aura of a cultivator.
As for how she managed to sneak into Kingdom Qian, Ji Yan certainly had a hand in it. Chen Xun shook his head with a smile, wondering what kind of charm she had used on Ji Yan.
Black Bull's eyes were bright and full of spirit, suggesting he was here to explore the mundane world.
When they first arrived in the grand world, they heard that in this era of cultivating immortality, the training grounds for the disciples of great families must include the mortal world.
But it seed that the cultivators of Burial Heaven Mound hadn't trained in the mortal world; they didn't even know about interest... who knows how long they had been asleep.
Immortal Absolute, on the other hand, seed to know, as he didn't appear confused.
Black Bull thought about it and then lay on the ground laughing, "Moo~~"
A mont later.
Qionghua Shuiyu brought over two plates of pancakes, placing one on the table and the other on the ground.
She sat down generously and smiled, "Chen Xun, Bull, why don't you try so first?"
"Sure."
"Moo moo~!"
Chen Xun and Black Bull smiled peacefully and began to eat slowly.
"Very delicate," Chen Xun remarked, putting down the pancake in his hand and smiling. "Miss Shuiyu, how did you find this place? Ji Yan isn't exactly an easy person to deal with."
"Moo~" Black Bull gave a perfunctory call, continuing to eat without interrupting their conversation.
Qionghua Shuiyu smiled with her eyes narrowed, "I went to pay respects at your tombstone, but sothing felt off, so I found Brother Ji Yan and asked for so information."
"Hmm? You know each other?"
"Yes, after that encounter, Brother Ji Yan attended the Heaven's Pride Gathering in the capital, and that's where we t."
Qionghua Shuiyu touched her chin with one hand, her face dusted with so flour. "Later, when the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance issued a warrant for you, I couldn't enter the sect, so Brother Ji Yan told to wait for you here."
"Oh..." Chen Xun's eyes suddenly widened as he felt sothing was amiss, and he asked in a deep voice, "Miss Shuiyu, what tombstone?!"
"Moo?!"
Black Bull was also surprised, wondering if the steward Mo had built it.
Qionghua Shuiyu looked a bit surprised but still recounted the events of the past to Chen Xun. Building a grand tomb for a cultivator and preserving their aura wasn't a simple task.
After a stick of incense's ti.
Chen Xun quietly clenched his fist, exchanging a glance with Black Bull. Song Heng and Gu Lisheng had cried at the Immaculate Immortal Ridge for years...
He hadn't sensed a thing, and now Song Heng had a death wish!
Motherfucker...
Chen Xun cursed under his breath, realizing that his entire family had been given a grand burial, and the whole ngmu Sea Region knew about it. His lifeti of reputation had been ruined by that fat bastard.
Black Bull snorted, still in a state of confusion.
They had always been the ones mourning in front of others, but now Song Heng and Young Master Gu had mourned them for years...
"This guy must have ruined my fortune," Chen Xun said, his breathing noticeably heavier. "I wondered why nothing went right when I first arrived in the Wild Heaven Region."
"Moo!" Black Bull chuckled, thinking that Song Heng was done for, as the eldest brother had already pinned the bla on him.
Qionghua Shuiyu's eyes widened slightly, and she quickly explained, "Senior Song didn't ruin your fortune. He was probably just trying to locate you, with no ill intentions."
"Heh, Miss Shuiyu, I know what's going on."
Chen Xun's lips curled into a gentle smile. "Song Heng is an old friend of ours; we won't let him die."
"Oh." Qionghua Shuiyu smiled, "Brother Ji Yan said Senior Song only follows you, and even he can't command him or know his whereabouts, so I ca here to wait for you."
"Miss Shuiyu, is the Nine Dragons Mystic Gate looking for Song Heng?" Chen Xun's eyes narrowed. Although the fat man was a bit unreliable, he had followed him for many years, and outsiders couldn't touch him.
"Chen Xun, no!"
Qionghua Shuiyu quickly waved her hands, worried about any misunderstanding, causing flour to float in the air. "I ca here secretly under the guise of training in the mortal world."
"I want to beco Senior Song's disciple."
"I see."
Chen Xun's tone softened, without any suspicion, and he smiled, "If there's a chance, I'll introduce you."
"Moo moo~~"
"Really?! Chen Xun, thank you!" Qionghua Shuiyu bead like a star, taking out two flawless white jade pieces from her storage ring. "I carved these myself. They've absorbed the aura of the Mystic Gate and can enhance fortune when worn long-term!"
"Chen Xun, Bull, do you like them?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Chen Xun accepted them carefully, genuinely liking such items, and laughed heartily, "Thank you, Miss Shuiyu, we won't stand on ceremony."
"Moo moo~~!" Black Bull's eyes also lit up at the exquisite jade pendants.
They seed to shimr with a glow, and the material was extraordinary, likely a specialty of the Xuanwei Heaven domain—Kongtong Jade.
Qionghua Shuiyu continued to smile without explaining how precious the jade pendants were.
Chen Xun resud eating the pancakes and casually asked, "Miss Shuiyu..."
"Just call Shuiyu," Qionghua Shuiyu said, resting her chin on her hand and blinking her eyes.
"Alright, Shuiyu."
Chen Xun cleared his throat, "How are you finding life in the mortal world of Kingdom Qian?"
"It's quite nice," Qionghua Shuiyu replied, staring intently at Chen Xun eating the pancakes, her deanor very open. "I learned this skill secretly. Life in the mortal world is simple, working from sunrise to sunset, very peaceful."
Pfft.
Chen Xun spat out a bit of crumbs, unable to hold back. He thought he was the only one who liked to learn secretly with divine sense, but it turned out all cultivators were like this...
He laughed and agreed, "Yes, very peaceful. I rember when I first left the small village, the first thing I learned was making pancakes."
"Moo moo!" Black Bull chid in, looking earnestly at Qionghua Shuiyu, confirming it was true!
Qionghua Shuiyu's smile was radiant, nodding gently, her eyes never showing any worry, maintaining a simple and optimistic deanor.
They gradually started chatting, with Chen Xun showing off his skills, Black Bull mooing and shouting on the side, and Qionghua Shuiyu smiling as she kneaded dough, the stall bustling with steam.
She occasionally sprinkled so flour on Black Bull's face, having liked him from the start.
Before they knew it, they had sold quite a few pancakes that morning, with many passersby praising Chen Xun's pancakes as exceptional!
Qionghua Shuiyu turned her head and smiled, "Chen Xun, your skills are much better than mine."
"Heh, of course, back in the day, Bull and I were the kings of the night market, undefeated across the land. Our creation, Xun's Delicacies, was renowned throughout the mortal world, but alas..."
"What happened then?"
"Then the great magistrate ca, blocking the livelihood of other locals, and sent troops to suppress our food stalls, so we beca wanderers..."
"Haha~"
"Haha!"
"Moo moo~~!"
Laughter echoed in front of the stall, with Qionghua Shuiyu being quite the chatterbox, never stopping her words. Their topics were simple, all trivial matters.
But often, such trivial matters touched the heart more deeply.
