Chapter 392: Homesickness
Chapter 392: Homesickness
Little Wild Grass’s dejected expression took Li Muyang by surprise.
Since this little girl had embarked on the path of cultivation, she had increasingly possessed the demeanor of an Immortal.
She seemed as if she had all the wisdom at her fingertips, everything under control, always smiling at everything, and only occasionally revealing a fox-like smirk with a bit of playful mischief.
This Little Wild Grass, who had turned into a cunning fairy, hadn’t shown such a helpless expression in many years.
Even her words were full of a sense of despair, as if she was arranging her affairs for after her departure.
Li Muyang knew something was amiss, sighed, and patted her shoulder, consoling her.
"Then we’ll first return to Black Cloud Fort, and stay there for a while,"
Without hurrying to ask about the situation, Li Muyang first agreed to Little Wild Grass’s suggestion and decided to accompany her back for a stay.
Li Muyang’s gentle tone made Little Wild Grass pause slightly.
Then she looked up at the warm-eyed big brother in front of her and finally couldn’t resist, hugging him directly.
Little Wild Grass hugged Li Muyang tightly and murmured, "Big brother is the best...."
This scene looked exceedingly heartwarming.
But just at that moment, the voice of Ink Fairy inappropriately rang out.
"Oh... descendant of the evil lineage, you’re actually a pretty-boy kept by others?"
"To be pampered by an Immortal... you must be the first ever."
"Why don’t you write a book about it, teach me."
Ink Fairy began with a series of sarcastic remarks.
But absurdly, even though her remarks were sarcastic, her expression was earnest and curious, filled with admiration as she looked at Li Muyang.
She was in fact admiring Li Muyang and wanted to learn from Li Muyang how to survive being kept.
Hearing Ink Fairy’s voice, Little Wild Grass immediately let go of Li Muyang, frowning as she looked at Ink Fairy in a red dress.
"This is...?"
"Desolate Wilderness Mountain, Ink Fairy," Ink Fairy herself declared confidently.
Then she continued, "I and your big brother have some karmic entanglements, like friends. But I haven’t met him, so it’s impossible for us to be friends... Do you understand what’s going on here?"
Ink Fairy looked puzzled and directly approached the matter without any pretense, asking earnestly.
After a moment of silence, Little Wild Grass shook her head, "Perhaps you are mistaken, my brother has been with me day and night, through life and death, we haven’t met you, nor could we possibly be friends with you."
Facing this Ink Fairy, Little Wild Grass also felt somewhat at a loss.
The Stilted Building where Jiang Xiaoyu used to live still stood in Black Cloud Fort, but it had been abandoned for a long time and was uninhabited.
When Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass returned with their bags, seeing the familiar Stilted Building they felt as if they were transported to another era.
The broken stairs, the gaps filled with cobwebs, and the peeling, mottled walls... Although the old building still maintained its original framework, it looked like it was about to collapse.
Little Wild Grass and Li Muyang had no choice but to spend time repairing it.
Despite being an Immortal, Little Wild Grass did not use mana at this time but instead fixed the house like ordinary mortals would.
It took them three days to renovate the house, which looked like it was about to fall apart.
The curious villagers from neighboring houses watched these two mysterious people repairing the house.
Eventually, someone remembered the past and recognized Jiang Xiaoyu.
"Wow! It’s you who have come back."
"Jiang Xiaoyu, and that girl you raised... what was her name, something Grass?"
The villagers who recognized their identities were very enthusiastic.
Li Muyang, surrounded by the neighbors, smiled lightly and added, "Little Wild Grass."
"Ah right, right! Little Wild Grass!"
The villagers sighed, "That girl was also a child of hardship, arriving at the fort at such a young age."
"After you two left, we were worried... By the way, where’s Little Wild Grass?"
After the villagers finished discussing the past, their curiosity turned to the current situation.
They gathered around the now forty-something with white temples, Jiang Xiaoyu, asking curiously, "Is this young lady your daughter? She has turned out to be quite beautiful..."
The villagers praised Little Wild Grass, who was nearby.
Li Muyang awkwardly smiled, "Actually...she is Little Wild Grass."
Little Wild Grass, who had become an Immortal and preserved her youthful appearance, still looked like a young girl in her late teens.
With his aged appearance, Li Muyang was put in the role of a parental elder.
Upon hearing Li Muyang’s words, the villagers were immediately surprised.
"She is Little Wild Grass? Wow!"
"So many years and she hasn’t aged at all!"
"Did she practice cultivation? It’s good to practice..."
The villagers, unable to cultivate themselves, admired those who could from the depths of their hearts.
