Chapter 339: Promotion to Main Wife
Liu Xiao waited outside the mountain gate. He knew he had to give the Han family some time to deal with it, so he waited very patiently.
The Han family still sent that sneaky guy to entertain him, serving tea and water, and chatting with him.
Liu Xiao had already learned that this person's name was Han Tou Si, and he was a steward by Uncle Han Four's side. This guy chatted idly on the side, while Liu Xiao didn't speak, just listened with a smile.
He was seizing the time to adjust his breathing, trying his best to recover a bit more true qi. In case the Han family didn't care about etiquette and didn't care about him, a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, and even mobilized Foundation Establishment to fight him hard, then he really had to be prepared for combat.
After more than an hour, Liu Xiao's true qi had recovered quite a bit, and his confidence was sufficient, so he had the interest to talk.
He said: "Brother Han..."
Han Tou Si hurriedly said: "Don't dare! Senior, you can call me Tou Si, or Old Han." He was also a bit puzzled and kept blinking his eyes, always feeling that Liu Xiao's voice was a bit familiar. Could it be that he had seen him before?
Liu Xiao didn't cover it up and asked directly: "Tou Si, why did you go into the pond to catch fish after entering the array? What were you considering at the time?"
Han Tou Si thought for a while and said: "You mean catching fish? Catching fish is catching fish, what considerations are there? If you really have to consider this and that, then it's not catching fish."
Liu Xiao was thoughtful: "So, just catch it, don't think so much?"
Han Tou Si nodded: "Hey, that's the meaning. If there's a fish, just catch it."
Liu Xiao thought for a while and asked: "Tou Si, your cultivation is only Stage 2? How many years?"
Han Tou Si replied: "Thirty years of cultivation, I guess."
Liu Xiao asked: "Why are you still at Stage 2 after thirty years? Has anyone ever said that your cultivation talent is not low?"
Han Tou Si said indifferently: "On Dafeng Mountain, the spiritual energy is abundant, suitable for recuperation. I feel that living another fifty years is not a problem. Let's work hard after another twenty or thirty years. If I work hard to cultivate now, wouldn't I be wasting my best years?"
Liu Xiao said strangely: "Are you not afraid that it will be too late in the last twenty or thirty years?"
Han Tou Si said: "If twenty or thirty years are not enough for Foundation Establishment, then even if I cultivate for forty or fifty years, it's useless. Why make things difficult for myself? After saying so much, does Senior want to pass on Daoist methods to me? Senior is not the first one. There have been a few before... forget it, I, Tou Si, am a person used to being idle. I can't eat the bitterness of cultivation. Let's wait for another twenty years of comfortable life."
Liu Xiao was speechless by what he said and coughed: "You are free, that's quite good..."
Just as they were talking, Lüzhu came out from the mountain gate, served by the maid Xiaocui. Seeing Liu Xiao, tears appeared in her eyes: "Xiaolou—"
Liu Xiao greeted her with a smile and said loudly: "Sister—it's been a long time. I came specially to visit you, Sister!"
This was in front of the Han family's mountain gate, under the eyes of so many people. Naturally, they couldn't play and make trouble as they did in the past, and their identities were different now, so it was even more impossible to do things like helping to wipe faces. They just said a few words about this and that.
Lüzhu was a smart person. She knew that what she said was not important; what was important was to sound affectionate, and every word revealed the deep bond between sister and brother.
Liu Xiao naturally cooperated fully.
"Thanks to Xiaolou, Sister is going to be promoted to the main wife. When Jiuqian returns, we will officially bow to the ancestors and I will become the head wife, um."
"Oh my, that's great. In that case, these two spirit stones are my gift as a younger brother!"
"It's all thanks to you. That old girl who gossiped about me, her injury hasn't healed yet, but she came to apologize to me. Sister can tell that the injury is newly added. She deserved it!"
"If there is any more gossip in the future, just tell me."
"Don't worry, whoever gossips in the future, I will let your brother-in-law take her as a concubine. Let's see if I don't fix her!"
"This is still your high move... truly high!"
"Hehe... By the way, Xiaolou, have you been to the Qingyue Altar of Mount Heng?"
"I have been."
"Do you think the girls there are good? Sister followed Jiuqian to Mount Heng last time and went to see them. They are quite good, especially the one called Sheng Han. She looks thin, but her figure is actually quite full. As long as she opens up, she is not worse than Sister... um, did you take a fancy to her, Xiaolou? I will let Jiuqian go and talk. Jiuqian is on good terms with their Altar Master!"
"Sister, they have a custom of women marrying men there. If I go over, I will be the one marrying over. The key is that they can marry several..."
"What's there to be afraid of? What if you marry several? If she marries others, the responsibility on your shoulders will be less, and you won't need to support the family..."
"That is also true..."
After a pleasant chat, it was finally the turn of Uncle Han Four and the head of the second branch, Han Gao, who accompanied them to meet. The Han family gave Liu Xiao face, so he naturally returned with a greater favor. People from Wulong Mountain have always been open and aboveboard in this regard!
"I heard that after Brother Jiuqian returns, he will bow to the ancestors with my sister. I am extremely grateful, so I won't say many polite words. If there is anything in the future, just say a word. As long as I can come, I will definitely come. If I can't help much, I will definitely not say two words about cheering and standing on the stage!" Liu Xiao promised, patting his chest.
"We are all one family, why say these things? It makes us distant!" Uncle Han Four said with a smile.
Han Gao was more serious: "I am Jiuqian's clan brother, and I am of the same generation as Fellow Daoist. Getting to know Fellow Daoist today is truly a joy. I don't know where your immortal mountain is, Fellow Daoist. In the future, Han will definitely visit the mountain often."
Liu Xiao said: "I am just a loose cultivator, drifting to the ends of the earth, with no fixed residence. But if there is anything, you can ask my sister to find me. She knows how to find me."
Han Gao asked again: "I don't know about Fellow Daoist and the South Sea Sword Sect..."
Liu Xiao immediately expressed his stance: "Lin Shuangyu and Su Jing of the South Sea Sword Sect are close friends with me. If there is anything, you can also go directly to them. I also often go to them to discuss Daoist methods. Shall we go together when we have time?"
Han Gao's eyes brightened by three points, and he smiled: "I have long heard of the great names of Fellow Daoists Lin and Su, but I have had no chance to see them. If Fellow Daoist Liu invites me, I will definitely attend."
After chatting for a long time, Liu Xiao politely declined the Han family's repeated invitations to a banquet and finally bowed to say goodbye.
Lüzhu bit her lip on the side, almost shedding tears, while Xiaocui had long been crying her eyes out.
Liu Xiao turned back and gave a whistle. Bai and Xiao Hei drilled out from somewhere in the forest nearby, pulling the cart and creaking to the front.
Han Gao praised: "Good spirit beasts!"
Liu Xiao smiled: "Tamed since they were small, you laugh."
Seeing this, Uncle Han Four hurriedly called to stop: "Fellow Daoist, wait a moment..." He turned and gave an order to Han Tou Si, and Han Tou Si ran towards the mountain villa.
Not long after, Han Tou Si commanded several Han family servants to pull out a large box and moved it onto the cart with hands and feet.
Liu Xiao kept bowing and declining on the side: "What is this? I'm already leaving, how can I take things..."
Uncle Han Four smiled: "New tea from Dafeng Mountain, special spirit flower seeds—for cooking, and a few roasted geese. They are all worthless things. Fellow Daoist, eat slowly on the road..."
"Ga?"
"Meow meow meow meow~"
Liu Xiao had no choice but to reluctantly accept.
At this point, feeling that the friendship was in place, he finally whispered his whereabouts: "There is a Wulong Mountain in Western Hunan. If the two of you have any urgent matters, you can go to Ghost Dream Cliff on Wulong Mountain. There is a cave on the cliff. Just leave a letter in the cave. This is a place where I stay. We are one family, so I don't hide it from the two of you, but please don't spread it out."
Uncle Han Four asked in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist, this is..."
Liu Xiao sighed: "Avoiding people's eyes and ears. It's not that I'm afraid of trouble, but I'm afraid of trouble!" ===== CHAPTER 340 =====
