Demon King's Repayment - chapter 253

Hu Qing stretched out her hand to hold hers, “Ah Xiang, I also want to sign a contract with you. It’s really good to have a happy life, but it’s actually very lonely. The world is so lively, there are many delicious foods. The most important thing is we got you and these friends, I also want to live with everyone.”

She shook Yuan Xiang’s hand, “I’ll play your favorite songs for you every day, and help Ru Shi make good food for you. Let me live like that, okay?”

Yuan Xiang’s eyes were a little hot, and her heart was filled with something.

Along the way, the love of her elders, the tenderness of her partner, and the sincerity of her friends filled her heart with something called happiness, even overflowing from the bottom of her heart. That was the most precious thing in the world. She didn’t know why she was so lucky to get so much, so much so that she could spare her energy to pick up this warm and precious thing, and then give it to many people.

…

Meng Zhang quietly followed to the yard where the Shi brothers lived. After the two brothers stayed behind, she finally agreed awkwardly to stay for a few days. Being taken care of by the brothers who did everything, she learned to be an incompetent mother.

Han Youzhi locked the ancestral house and returned to the mountain with Hui Teng. But Hui Teng always took him to visit the world every few times, and visited Yuan Xiang’s house from time to time.

A beautiful crane rested on the plane tree in the yard, and Hu Qing always sat under the tree and played the pipa.

When Ru Shi was drying her clothes, the little cat, the little fox, and the little golden pheasant ran around at her feet.

Two little tree spirits took root in the courtyard. They liked sitting on the courtyard wall and watching the pedestrians outside the street.

Although Nan He had passed the skeletal period, he still practiced diligently. He was very concerned about the elixir of life. He asked Yuan Xiang for her orb, and took a look at it from time to time.

Such a life was happy and leisurely.

On that day, when Yuan Xiang was sleeping on a stone table in the courtyard, an old man with white beard and hair, wearing gorgeous satin clothing, slowly walked to her side.

“Wake up, Mr. Xiao Yuan, wake up,” he called with a smile.

Yuan Xiang rubbed her eyes and sat up, “You are?”

The old man looked familiar, but she couldn’t think of who he was for a while.

“You may have forgotten me. We met once in your hometown when you were young,” the old man said to her.

Yuan Xiang suddenly remembered that when she was only six or seven years old, one day she was walking on the ridge with her siblings and had seen such an old man. At that time, she had not apprented a teacher, and no one besides her could see that old man, which frightened her so much. Not long after that, the master came to the village, took her as an apprentice, and took her with him.

“So it is you.”

“This old man is He Bo from Lianghe Town. The stream in front of your hometown is connected to the river in Lianghe Town.” The old man twisted his beard and talked about the past with a smile, “Entrusted by Sir, I went there to look for his little apprentice. He said he had a divination and it was a young girl. I followed the waterway there, and when I saw you, I knew you were the one.”

“Really? It turned out that my master asked you to find me. Thank you so much,” Yuan Xiang was happy when she met her master’s old friend.

No wonder then, not long after the old man appeared, the master quickly found her home.

“He had not been at home these years, and the old man had not been bothered. Unexpectedly, time flew, you have grown from a little girl to this age. Now this yard is still as lively as when he was here. It seems, you inherited his mantle well.”

Yuan Xiang was embarrassed, “I can’t compare to master.”

Uncle He straightened his sleeves and respectfully bowed to Yuan Xiang, “Now in Lianghe Town, a demon is rampant, causing harm to the people. The old man is unable to drive him away, so I invite you to help.”

Yuan Xiang was about to speak, but the old man disappeared.

She opened her eyes at once.

In the courtyard at noon, cicadas screamed, the courtyard gate was closed, Wu Yuan and Li Yu snored together under her feet.

Otherwise, there was no one around.

Was it just a dream?
