The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 167 - 114: Visiting
When leaving Shallow Water Village, she took so dried seaweed with her. Now, she used scissors to cut the seaweed into two thin strips, creating the eyes of the little bear; then she cut out a three-part mouth—the mouth was ready.
Whistle looked at her doing all this, holding back as he said, "I’ll leave all my savings to them, mother and child. That’s it." He instantly felt Ning Xiaoxian’s contemptuous gaze and continued, "Chengcheng must lead a stable life, Qinghe can’t possibly co with ; if I stay, sooner or later, I will bring harm to them both. I..." His voice choked up, unable to continue. Since ancient tis, it’s those with the deepest feelings who suffer the most from separations.
"What’s the use of worries? Why don’t you listen to Sister Tan’s own wishes?" After saying this, she attached the eyes and the mouth onto the little bear’s head, covered it with the "blanket", and even neatly tucked in the "corner of the blanket". She decorated around with so vegetables.
After arranging the plate, she left the pensive Whistle and carried the food out.
After all, Chengcheng was still a child at heart. As soon as she saw the whimsical and interesting egg-wrapped rice, her sadness was forgotten in an instant. Ning Xiaoxian watched as the little ghost picked up her chopsticks and lifted off the little bear’s "blanket" to look underneath, causing Ning Xiaoxian to break into a sweat. The food she made always tasted good, and Chengcheng was not the only one who ate with joy, even the accompanying vegetables were polished off. Even Qinghe, with her heavy heart, couldn’t help but praise the al after a few bites.
Looking at the two adults and the child across from her, they seed just like a family. It was better for an outsider like herself to disappear quickly. Ning Xiaoxian was always self-aware; she cleaned up the dishes after the al and rolled back to her own courtyard, leaving the couple to their affectionate gazes. According to Qiongqi, these two were busy every night. She could fully understand that, on one hand, there was passionate love, and on the other, an uncertain future, both needed to vent their pent-up frustrations.

"Stop!" Just as she was about to touch the gate of the courtyard, Changtian suddenly exclaid, "You have a visitor!"
Soone inside? Ning Xiaoxian was startled and withdrew her hand. In that instant, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
Had the master of the Yellow Turban Warriors co looking for her? But she had slain the Three-eyed Crow that was following her in the afternoon, so how had the news reached them? If there were people nearby, Changtian would definitely have warned her. Could it be that there were spies in the governnt office this afternoon?
Most importantly, what should she do now? She heard Changtian’s stern voice, "Adapt to the situation. If things look bad, imdiately retreat to the God Demon Prison, and don’t dawdle like last ti."
"Understood!" She took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and stepped into the courtyard. Just as she entered, the door behind her slamd shut with a "bang". It seed that the visitor was coming with a nacing air. She let out a cold laugh, unfazed.
Lights suddenly lit up inside the building, while the courtyard remained dark as if concealing monsters. "Are there any chanisms in the courtyard?" she asked softly.
"There are. There’s a sll of blood in the bamboo grove to your left, probably sothing unsightly; to the right is the Four-falling Enchantnt Array, which in haste, I can’t clearly describe the steps for, so just don’t go right. Hmm, there’s also a Little Gushan Formation on the wall in front; the person in the house has a backup plan in case they need to flee."
Hearing that the other side had even prepared an escape formation, she first let go of much of her worry. If they were powerful, why be so cautious?
Reading her thoughts, Changtian snorted coldly, "Don’t let your guard down. Even a cultivator with modest cultivation can take your life if they are cunning enough."
She adjusted her heartbeat and breathing, walked forward, and gently pushed the door open. In the dim light of the lanterns, she ca face-to-face with the person inside.
Then, both of them were stunned. However, the other party spoke first, "It’s you?" with infinite surprise in their voice.
"It’s you!" After a mont, he repeated, his voice filled with boundless elation! "Haha, I’ve finally found you!"
Ning Xiaoxian, however, was so shocked she turned pale and stepped back twice, "How... how is it you!"
The person under the lamp wore a black robe, had a long mustache, and their right hand on the table lacked a thumb, leaving only the index and middle fingers. The air of an immortal cultivator was nowhere to be found. If this wasn’t Liu Manzi, her inexplicable enemy from the mutual market, then who was it?
Seeing her, Liu Manzi was overjoyed, "I’ve been searching for this wretched lass for so long, and today I’ve finally achieved my wish without any effort!"
"Immortal Master, it wasn’t who cut off your fingers." She feigned a frightened expression and shrank back into a corner of the room. Both Liu Manzi’s words and expression proved that eting her here was completely unexpected. What did this an? It ant that the person he was looking for was the house’s resident! To take a step back, he certainly wouldn’t co looking for soone unrelated without reason, so this must be upon soone’s request or instruction!
