Chapter 408: The Righteous Senior Brother Who Is About to Fall into Devilhood, Your Wife Is Here 21
Qi Yue finally settled down in Xiaofeng Village.
Sheng Huan also followed the original owner's grandmother back home. She took off her wedding dress and put on a simple dress.
Just after changing, the original owner's grandmother, Wang, came in from outside. As soon as she came in, she hugged Sheng Huan, unable to hide her excitement and relief: "Sheng girl, luckily you are okay, otherwise, if I were to die, how would I face your parents."
Sheng Huan hugged her back and just cried: "Grandma..."
Five years ago, the original owner's parents went hunting in the mountains and encountered a ferocious beast. In the end, no trace of the beast was found. The original owner was then taken to his uncle's house by his grandmother to be raised.
The eldest aunt was the elder sister of the original owner's mother, and her family only had three sons and no daughters. Therefore, she did not object to the original owner's arrival, and was even quite nice to him.
The original owner was just coming of age at that time, but she never told anyone about it because she was in mourning. Who would have thought that there would be a drought later, and it was difficult to survive. Naturally, she would not consider marriage, so it was delayed until the original owner was 20 years old and still not married.
But the drought was not over yet, and to make matters worse, a river god appeared and wanted to marry a bride.
At this time, Aunt Lin came in with a bowl of coarse grains: "Sheng girl, you must be scared. You didn't eat much yesterday. Now drink some porridge to fill your stomach."
Lin smiled, "Now that the river god is gone, the water in the river can be used. Today, everyone can have a good meal. Drink it quickly to warm your stomach."
What made Lin even happier was that the immortal said today that there would be heavy rain tonight. When the heavy rain came, the fields would be moistened and crops could be planted. From now on, everyone would have hope.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Just take a rest after eating. You're frightened too."
Lin continued, "The immortal is staying at our house today. Even though he doesn't want to eat, we can't just show our appreciation. I'll send some food over in a while."
That’s right, Qi Yue is staying at their house tonight.
The original owner's uncle's house and the original owner's house were next to each other. After the original owner's parents left, the two families were merged together. Although it was just a thatched house, the area could be said to be larger than most people's houses in the village. It was not surprising that Qi Yue moved in.
-
At night, before it got dark, layers of dark clouds covered the horizon, completely blocking out the sunset glow, and the entire sky was instantly shrouded in darkness.
At the same time, crackling lightning was like a giant dragon with silver light, surging and brewing in the clouds.
Seeing this, many people in the village did not go to sleep at all. They just looked up at the sky with secret expectation and prayer.
Sheng Huan opened the window and looked at a mountaintop through the dark clouds. It was obvious that the rain was caused by Qi Yue.
With a loud "boom", deafening thunder and lightning "crack!" struck from the sky.
The sky seemed to have a hole in it, and heavy rain suddenly poured down, hitting the dry ground and fields...
"It's raining! It's really raining!"
"Great, we are saved, we are all saved!"
Many people didn't care that it was still a bit chilly in spring and rushed directly into the rain, looking up to greet the falling rain. Some people even opened their mouths wide and let the rain hit their faces, beaming with joy.
"Bigger, for God's sake, bigger!"
That night, many people fell asleep with contented smiles on their faces, and in their dreams, the corners of their mouths were still smiling.
In the dark night, a golden figure holding an umbrella came closer from afar.
He seemed to sense something and looked up, he saw that the window of a room was open and a woman in a straw hairpin and cloth skirt was leaning against the window looking outside.
As if in a trance.
After the woman took off her gorgeous dress, her charming eyes and eyebrows were filled with otherworldly beauty, but in the rain, there was an indescribable worry in her.
When she saw him, she suddenly smiled.
"Benefactor."
"My name is Qi Yue, and my courtesy name is Yanqing. You can just call me Qi Yue or my courtesy name. There's no need to call me benefactor." Qi Yue walked closer and unconsciously said his courtesy name.
Sheng Huan turned his eyes away and said, "Master Qi, my name is Feng Sheng."
"Feng Sheng..." the man in the rain whispered softly, but because of the heavy rain, it was silent. He said seriously: "But where Feng Sheng comes and goes, the sound of Sheng falls into the human world."
She seemed to be stunned, then nodded. In the dark night, her eyes were like black pearls shining in the deep sea, pure black. She seemed very happy, and her voice was filled with happiness:
"Yes, it's this sheng."
Seeing this, Qi Yue tightened his fingers around the umbrella slightly and said, "Miss Feng, the monster has been eliminated. There will be no more danger. It's getting late. You should go and have a rest. Don't catch a cold."
She didn't move when she heard that. She just stared at him, hiding her panic: "Master Qi, will there be monsters in this place?"
Qi Yue didn't know either, but he knew she was frightened today, so he just said:
"Miss Feng, if a monster appears here again, the village can send someone to report it to the town. The town will then send the news up to the higher authorities, and the Tianxuan Sect will know about it. Then, disciples will come to exorcise the monster."
Sheng Huan looked at him, pursed his lips, his brows and eyes were full of stubbornness, and he said in a very soft voice: "But I don't want to put my safety on others' shoulders, and put my life..."
"Forget it, it's late, Master Feng is tired today, go and have a rest."
She closed the window, her finger bones turned pale, but she locked her fragile breathing into the window.
Qi Yue was stunned by what she said just now. He was about to tell her that this was a good idea. Instead of asking others for help, it would be better to become strong on his own. But in front of him, there was only a cold window.
He felt it quietly and knew that she was facing away from the window and seemed to be sad. He stood outside and walked closer to her instead of leaving.
"Girl, it's a good idea for you to have this idea. You should hold your own life in your own hands."
He had the urge to take her back to Tianxuan Sect. As cultivators, they had to dare not accept their fate. She was born in such a remote place and had this idea. Even if her spiritual roots were not good enough, she had the qualifications to be a cultivator.
He ignored his beating heart. Even if her spiritual roots were not good, there was no need to worry. Alternatively, he could accept her as his disciple and take her away from this place.
The people in the room seemed to be breathing faster.
Qi Yue wanted to say something to Sheng Huan, but when he heard footsteps, he quickly left.
-
The next day, when the sky was bright, the villagers picked up their food and ran to the fields to work hard.
Many elderly elders squatted in the fields, touching the moist soil and wiping their tears.
The spring ploughing was almost delayed. Now that it has rained, everyone is busy working.
As for Sheng Huan, because the original owner was good at needlework, she would often make some handkerchiefs and sell them. She had to keep her hands well-maintained, so she didn't have to do those chores. She only had to prepare meals at home.
Therefore, in the entire Feng family, there are only Sheng Huan and Qi Yue. As for whether other people would think too much, the answer is no. There is a huge gap between mortals and immortals.
When Sheng Huan came out after cooking, he saw Qi Yue practicing sword in the yard.
The sword is majestic and powerful, like a desolate meteor.
She couldn't help but stare, standing still, even with a sense of yearning. Her peach blossom eyes were sparkling, but it seemed that she still had an indescribable inferiority complex.
Qi Yue retracted his sword and looked over.
Maybe his brain got hot after the warm-up, but when he saw her, he heard her ask, "Miss Feng, do you want to try it?"
Sheng Huan hesitated upon hearing this. Although he wanted to, he still shook his head and clenched his palms nervously: "Master Qi, I, I don't know how to..."
"I'll teach you." The man raised his eyebrows, his righteous and handsome eyes seemed to be full of youth: "Miss Feng, you can do it. Once you learn it, you will have the confidence to protect yourself in the future."
She seemed to have mustered up her courage, and knew that he had listened to what she said yesterday. Her eyes turned slightly red and she nodded heavily.
"Ah."
Soon, the woman had a wooden sword in her hand.
Qi Yue stood in front of her: "Let me demonstrate it. Watch carefully."
As he spoke, he began to practice slowly. After an unknown amount of time, he stopped and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"
She nodded: "I see clearly."
"Come on then."
"Ah."
She took a deep breath, gripped the wooden sword, thought about his every move just now, and stretched her limbs.
The woman raised her hand and swung the wooden sword, causing the hem of her skirt to curve. Although it was a bit stiff, she memorized every step until the last step, which she could not complete properly. After trying several times without success, she stopped slightly stiffly.
She was a little afraid to look at Qi Yue.
"Pa pa!" Qi Yue seemed not to notice her disappointment. He clapped his hands and was very surprised: "Miss Feng, you are very talented. You can remember it after reading it once, and you can do it so well!"
She felt a little less sad after hearing this, and said a little embarrassedly: "But later..."
"It takes others several months to master this sword technique. You are now even better than many people. Even the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect standing here would envy you." Qi Yue was telling the truth. Of course, he could see that she was a little unsure. She was born in this place and had never been exposed to the way of sword. She could obviously be better. He felt distressed, but he didn't let himself show it:
"I'll demonstrate it again, watch carefully."
Qi Yue looked serious and swung the hilt of the sword.
The wind girl is good in herself, she can be even more dazzling, compared to the stars, sun and moon, she can shine on her own.
Sheng Huan looked at him seriously. When Qi Yue stopped, she took a deep breath and started her performance.
Then Qi Yue discovered that her movements were smoother than before.
Qi Yue thought to himself, Miss Feng, you are born to wield a sword.
She was perhaps a little anxious when she made the last strike of the sword, and when she was about to fail, her eyes dimmed.
Qi Yue didn't like seeing her lost look, so he moved instantly.
Then, the man held the woman's wrist through her sleeve. He stood behind her, not getting too close to her as per the rules, sticking to the gentleman's openness and courtesy. However, her body was slightly stiff, as she had never been so close to anyone before.
"Don't be afraid, just keep going."
His voice was steady, and he led her to complete the final sword strike.
