To her, the quality of the wine shop's business was something she did not care about. It was just that she wanted a peaceful life.
However, a woman alone, guarding such a winery, would inevitably encounter difficulties, but luckily her wine was ordinary, did not contain spiritual energy, and was only useful to normal people, so she did not encounter any cultivators.
Therefore, whenever this happened, she would get the Blacky to secretly attack and send him off.
Another year passed in this quiet.
"The shopkeeper's expression is even worse."
Mu Dan muttered in his heart as he looked at his shopkeeper's lazy look.
She remembered that a year ago when she had entered the winery, the shopkeeper hadn't been a talkative person, but he had looked pretty good. It was just that she hadn't expected him to look so pale and scared, as if he was seriously ill.
She knew that the shopkeeper was a strange person. He didn't like to talk too much, nor did he get close to others. He rarely even went out the door.
But no matter what, the shopkeeper was still so young. He couldn't just ignore his own life, right? That made the little girl very dissatisfied.
On this day, Mu Dan could no longer hold back his worry. He mustered his courage and came to Jiu Muli's side and said: "Innkeeper, I, I have something to say."
"What is it?" Jiu Muli asked.
It had been over a year, but the little girl had grown quite a bit taller. She had also become more lively, and her fragmented bangs were like silk under the gentle breeze.
"Shopkeeper, your complexion is getting worse and worse. Why don't you ask the doctor to take a look?"
Mu Dan said worriedly.
She really could not stand it any longer. She was worried that this shopkeeper who treated her very well would suddenly fall ill.
"I'm fine, I'm not sick."
With that said, without waiting for the little girl to speak, Jiu Muli changed his tone and said: "That's right, how is the old lady next door?"
"Grandma Hu, the doctor said she won't be able to hold on for much longer." As Mu Dan said this, his little face creased into a ball.
"Oh!"
Jiu Muli nodded and did not speak further.
"Shopkeeper, are you really not going to see a doctor?" Seeing this, Mu Dan became even more anxious.
"No need, I'm really not sick, don't worry."
After some persuasion, Jiu Muli finally dispelled Mu Dan's worry.
During these two years of recuperation, she had also known her neighbors and had become familiar with them, such as Old Madam Hu.
Old Madam Hu's life was not easy, and her wife had been dead for several years. She only had one son, who worked as a carpenter, and had been busy all day long without ever getting married.
Other than them, there were also Mu Dan's parents and a nearby wealthy merchant who liked her in the wine shop.
In this nearly two years of her life, she had seen happy events, seen losses, seen family disputes, seen life and death being separated from the world. Gradually, she had a clear impression of him in her heart.
Only, she did not know that as she continued to understand the life of mortals, a new imprint was constantly being birthed within her soul. It was Jiu Muli, who belonged to this world.
All along, she had thought that she was an outsider, a teleporter, a smuggler, and more importantly, a ghost that possessed and came from Jiu Muli's body. She was completely incompatible with this world.
However, this integration was not complete. There was still a gap, and it had not been broken.
Other than that, the only thing that was worth celebrating was that her injuries had recovered quite a bit. A large portion of the death aura in her body had already been drained away by her life force, causing her spiritual sense s and spiritual energy s to slowly recover.
The spiritual energy's recovery was very weak, but the spiritual sense's recovery allowed her to gradually realize what female fairy meant by 'good fortune'. It was related to the fifth Star Soul in her body.
Following the continuous fighting between life and death aura, many life forces and death aura finally began to fuse together, gradually forming a new force. It was the aura of life and death flowing together, like a primal chaos diagram of a Yin Yang rune.
The moment this rune appeared, it was absorbed by the chaos disk. Before it could absorb even a bit more, the chaos disk's color became brighter, and it was getting closer to the real jade plate.
At the same time, the Life and Death Qi would clash and erupt with the yin and yang power, which would be devoured by the Wrath of the Circumference just like the change that happened when the Qing Yun Sect was in Qing Yun Sect and the Yin Yang Valley.
It was just that that that time she saw a corner of the future and saw Qin Zheng fleeing for his life, covered in injuries.
Transforming the five elements into yin and yang?
This turn of events filled her heart with doubt.
"Kun Peng, do you know what's going on?"
In the end, she consulted the Kun Peng.
Furthermore, she remembered that after she had formed the Star Soul of Universe Anger, the Kun Peng had told her that it was impossible for her to obtain any more Star Soul. However, back then, when she had broken through her Star King Stage, there was clearly an additional Star Soul.
Unfortunately, the Kun Peng continued playing dead, not paying any attention to her at all.
"Just you wait. One day, I will kick you out."
She was so angry that her teeth itched, but there was nothing she could do.
Everything in her body was developing in a favorable direction, but there was also a side that was not good. Her complexion became more and more pale, as if she had lost all color, which caused Mu Dan to misunderstand.
This was the result of her body being weakened after the death aura had been removed. If it was any ordinary person, they would only need to replenish their Qi and absorb the spiritual energy s, but right now, she was still unable to circulate her cultivation, and could only forcefully take it. Furthermore, as the death Qi became less and less, the situation would become more serious.
Being unable to break and unable to be established was a difficult process that was destined to be impossible. One would either not be able to endure it, and would die completely, or endure until the end. In the end, it would become beautiful, and completely break through their shackles.
This was the idea of the female fairy, and was also the path Jiu Muli had chosen. As life force and death aura mutually eroded each other, her body, amidst annihilation and rebirth, would continuously be refined, becoming stronger than anyone else and being squeezed to the extreme would also result in the eruption of an unprecedented life force. Not only would it be able to repair her profound vein, it would also be able to help her break out of her pure bottle and soar into the sky.
"That day is not far away. If you don't go crazy then you won't live. You all just wait and see."
Thinking up to here, her eyes burned with an unprecedented fire.
Gulp!
He then took another gulp of wine and looked at Mu Dan, who had greeted all the customers and was busy cleaning the place. He casually took out a pill that was laughing out loud like a red date and passed it to Mu Dan, saying, "Mu Dan, here, I'll give you some candy."
"Ah, thank you, Manager."
When Mu Dan saw this, he was overjoyed. Then, he reluctantly stuffed it into his mouth.
This type of candy was very tasty, at least in Mu Dan's opinion, it was priceless. It was soft and sweet, melting immediately after eating it, and left a fragrance on the corner of his mouth.
Mu Dan, who was close to sixteen years old, was no longer a child. However, she was very happy whenever the shopkeeper gave her this candy.
It was a pity that the shopkeeper only gave her food in person and never let her take it away.
She still remembered that the first time she ate this kind of candy, she wanted to buy a few more pills and bring them home for her parents to taste, but the shopkeeper had rejected her. The second time, she took the candy and resisted the urge to eat it, purposely hiding it.
Facing the generous pay, Mu Dan finally compromised.
"Alright, when there's no one left, there's no need to be busy. Take a rest."
Jiu Muli instructed, then entered the back room. The sky was overcast, and it seemed like there was lightning rain, hence he was unable to continue bathing in the sun.
"Oh."
Mu Dan nodded her head obediently. At the same time, she felt helpless, because she realized that her shopkeeper was good for nothing else, but a little lazy, and never paid attention to business, and never asked her to work. Sometimes, even when she was bored to death, the shopkeeper wouldn't call her.
If she had nothing to do, she could just rest and not work. This was the idiom that the shopkeeper had taught her.
How did this look like a shopkeeper!
Mu Dan thought in her heart. She remembered that the shopkeeper in other places would have liked it if the sky wasn't dark. That way, people would never be able to rest, including her previous owner.
Boom!
At this time, a muffled thunder roared in the sky, followed by dark clouds that covered the sun, and thunder that flashed in the sky.
Crack!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning exploded in the courtyard. With a "kacha" sound, a bowl-sized tree in the courtyard was instantly struck by the lightning and fell to the ground. The area where it broke off was charred black.
"Manager!"
Seeing this, Mu Dan screamed in fear, his face turning pale white.
"What's wrong?"
Jiu Muli appeared, looked at Mu Dan, and frowned.
As soon as she returned back to her room, she heard Mu Dan's screams. It was impossible for her not to show herself, after all, Mu Dan was still a little girl.
"Shopkeeper, look, that … that tree …" Mu Dan shakily extended his hand and pointed at the big tree that fell to the ground.
The little girl had never seen such terrifying lightning that even trees could be cut down. However, Jiu Muli only saw it as it was, after all, not mentioning this unscientific world, even in his previous life, this kind of situation was common.
Furthermore, it was now May and June. Thunderstorms were common.
Indeed, as the girl's voice faded, bean-sized raindrops rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour.
Therefore, in the next moment, she patted Mu Dan's shoulders consolingly and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I was struck down by lightning. Don't worry, lightning won't come in, don't be afraid."
The way the little girl was trembling really made people's heart ache for her.
"Yes!"
Maybe it was because Jiu Muli's voice was too calm, comforting was effective, the little girl quickly recovered from her shock and hid in the house, suddenly quietening down.
Seeing this, Jiu Muli kindly ordered: "The room is too dark. Go to the side and grab a candle to light the door, close the door, and we won't be doing business today."
Ah!
The little girl was astonished and nodded her head.
It was another excuse not to do business. This kind of thing happened too often, and this little girl had already gotten used to it.
