Coincidentally, this time it was Mu Dan's mother, Mrs Liu, who was the matchmaker.
Although the last time when the Liu family ran into a wall at her place, they were rejected by Jiu Muli before they could even open their mouths, in the following days, they did not have any objections towards Jiu Muli, so their interactions with him was still frequent.
Unknowingly, Jiu Muli's attitude toward her wasn't as cold as it was before, and occasionally he also carried a bit of a smile on his face.
"Shopkeeper, that Qian family member from earlier actually came to propose marriage and wanted to marry my family's girl. He's really worried me to death."
Mrs Liu came to Jiu Muli's place, most of the time, she was talkative about the affairs of the family, and Mu Dan was the one she talked about the most.
Mu Dan was already seventeen years old. In this world, even if he was seventeen years old, if he wasn't marrying, his marriage should still be set, not to mention that Mu Dan's appearance wasn't much.
"Your daughter has grown up and is going to get married in the end. What does Mu Dan think about it?"
Jiu Muli asked casually.
Unknowingly, after two years of peaceful life, she had already blended into this tiny market. Even her tone and words had changed.
"What does that girl know? If you ask her, she wouldn't speak at all and wouldn't utter a sound. I don't know what she was thinking either."
Mrs Liu said, then probed towards Jiu Muli: "I see that girl always keep her mouth open and shut as the shopkeeper, why not the shopkeeper ask for me? I'm afraid that if this continues to drag on, then when she's older, she won't be able to pick on others and suffer losses in the future. "
Jiu Muli felt that if she was born in her previous life, someone like the Liu family would definitely be able to make a living. But in the end, she did not reject, but nodded her head: "Alright, if there is a chance in the future, I will help you ask."
"Eh, that's great. Sorry for troubling you, Shopkeeper." When Mrs Liu heard this, she was immediately overjoyed.
It could be seen that she was truly worried for Mu Dan. After all, there was only one daughter in the family, and even if she was not her son, she was still meat that had fallen from her body. She had always been holding a treasure in her hands.
"You're welcome. Go back first."
Jiu Muli said softly. Another year had passed since the last time Mu Dan advised her to see a doctor, and her body was even weaker now.
If not for the fact that her spiritual sense had recovered so well and had sufficient mental fortitude, it would probably be difficult for her to stay awake for a short period of time.
When Mrs Liu left, Mu Dan did not eavesdrop, and did not know what happened.
Jiu Muli wanted to ask now, but he resisted the urge in the end.
Mu Dan's innocence was something that she would never be able to hope for in her entire life. Therefore, in the depths of her heart, she wasn't so far away from losing this innocence.
Rice, oil, salt, and vinegar – this was the root of all mortals!
After living in the market for close to three years, Jiu Muli was more familiar with everything in this world.
Compared to the high and mighty cultivators flying in and out, the lives of mortals were always simple and delicate. No matter how rich and poor they were, regardless of whether they were powerful or not, in the end, they could never escape the goal of meticulous planning.
At this moment, Jiu Muli seemed to have understood something, but also seemed to not understand anything.
His injuries were almost healed, but it was a pity that this last bit of aura of death could not be dispelled!
After lamenting, Jiu Muli quickly began to worry.
Right now, the death aura in her body had been completely used up, leaving only a sliver behind outside her dantian. However, it was this sliver that she couldn't remove after spending three months of time inside her body.
And because of this, her body was getting worse and worse every day. In fact, her footsteps were even fainter as she walked.
What should he do?
She was a bit irritated because it had been three years and three months since she first came here. It had far surpassed the last three years.
Three years, to cultivators, might not be much, even if they were in the Three Mortal Heavens s, they would only be in closed door cultivation. However, to the geniuses who were heading to the Three Immortal Heavens s, the three years there were definitely not something that the Three Mortal Heavens s could compare to for three years.
In such an environment, in three years' time, even if it was a pig, after knowing how to cultivate, they would still be able to become a pig demon, not to mention those geniuses.
She didn't want to catch up to everyone's footsteps with so much effort. Seeing that she was about to fall behind again, because Qin Zheng couldn't protect her anymore and she wasn't willing to have him protect her next time.
After the battle at Qing Yun Sect, that feeling of powerlessness had been gnawing at her heart at all times. She did not dare to forget it, and she did not wish to see it again.
She dragged her weak body along like this. After thinking for a long time, she finally suppressed her anxiety. She was a realistic person and was also very clear-headed. She knew that the more time passed, the calmer she had to be.
Forget it, let's think about Mu Dan first.
With that thought, she very quickly called Mu Dan out. Looking at the girl who was almost as tall as herself, Jiu Muli had a complex expression on his face as he asked: "Mu Dan, I have something to ask you."
"Manager, what's the matter?" Mu Dan replied obediently. Compared to three years ago, the little girl was no longer as reserved as she was before.
"You're almost eighteen and you're going to get married. Is there anyone you like?" Jiu Muli said casually.
"Ah, I, I …" Mu Dan immediately blushed, his face filled with bashfulness and panic.
"It doesn't matter if you tell me. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." On Jiu Muli's pale face, a trace of a smile emerged, like a plum in the middle of a severe winter.
"I, I don't know either. Manager, I really don't know."
After Mu Dan went through his initial panic, he quickly calmed down. He frowned: "I haven't thought about it too much. I plan to continue living like this.
"Let nature take its course."
Jiu Muli hoarsely laughed, then, he was suddenly stunned.
Even Mu Dan knew that she had to let nature take its course, why did she have to pretend to be calm? She remembered that the female fairy had also said that injuries were not to be rushed, it was a natural process. Simply put, other than drinking spirit wine, one only had to experience one's life, and wait in peace to die.
In the end, Jiu Muli did not force Mu Dan.
It was just a simple few words, but they seemed to be filled with wisdom, and instantly caused Jiu Muli to let go of all his burdens.
On this day, these four simple words were like a huge bell ringing in the sky, causing Jiu Muli to wake up from his daze. She knew, that in the past three years, even though she had been recuperating from her injuries, she had never let nature take its course.
If he didn't die, how could he live?!
After this day, Mu Dan realized that his shopkeeper had become more and more amiable, but at the same time, he was also worried. This was because this shopkeeper looked just like the kind Old Madam Hu back then.
The shopkeeper will definitely be fine!
In the end, Mu Dan comforted herself by saying that but in the days to come, she would come even earlier and leave even later. Furthermore, her wages were not cheap, and her family's situation had improved, so she would occasionally bring some of her own cooking for the shopkeeper to taste, as though she was treating her elders and relatives.
Jiu Muli did not know what the little girl was thinking, but he did not reject her.
Just as Jiu Muli was still calm, half a year had quietly passed by.
Three years and nine months. From the start of the battle at Qing Yun Sect, four years!
Perhaps, it was time to take that step!
Today, after being calm for a long time, Jiu Muli finally made a bold decision.
Only, when she wanted to give Mu Dan some instructions, she realized that Mu Dan had not come back to work in the morning, and had even not seen him even at noon.
Seeing this, Jiu Muli felt a little strange, because Mu Dan very rarely arrived late, so even if he had something to do, he would send someone a message.
"Something must have happened."
She frowned and followed up by instructing the Blacky to investigate in secret. Although they were not far from each other, her body was currently too weak.
At first, Blacky was not willing to, because Jiu Muli was too weak, once it left, it would become completely dangerous, but in the end, it could not change anything.
Not long later, the Blacky hurriedly returned and told Jiu Muli that Mu Dan's father had passed away.
"How is this possible? His father's body is so strong, how could he suddenly die?!"
Hearing this, Jiu Muli's face was filled with shock. Others might not know, but she knew clearly that the candy that she gave Mu Dan was to let Mu Dan wash his essence and cut his bones, and the food that she occasionally gave Mu Dan to return home for was to let his parents strengthen their bodies. According to her recuperate over the past two years, without accident, living a hundred years wasn't a problem at all.
"He didn't die of illness, he was killed by a cultivator."
The Blacky quickly explained and told Jiu Muli. It turned out that not long after Mu Dan's father, Mu Tie, had left home earlier that morning, he had met with a battle between two cultivators. In the end, he was affected by the aftermath of the battle and was unable to treat his injuries.
"Do you know who did it?"
Jiu Muli's eyes flashed sternly. She knew that cultivators were lawless, and she had seen it many times.
"I don't know."
Blacky sighed.
"I'll go take a look."
In the end, Jiu Muli did not restrain herself and secretly got Blacky to support her. She came to Mu Dan's home, not because she wanted to avenge Mu Tie, but because she wanted to see Mu Dan.
Jiu Muli went to see and comforted Mu Dan. She gave him a bag of silver and asked him to handle Mu Tie's funeral well.
Because of this matter, Mu Dan didn't work for an entire seven days, which was also why Jiu Muli urged him to do so.
However, in the past few days, Jiu Muli had thought of many things, and the ideas in her heart became more and more mature. Faintly, she felt that this trip of her Next three days was probably to the end.
If he wasn't crazy, he wouldn't survive!
Next, let's see if I'll be accepted by the Lord Thief or if I'll be able to thoroughly defeat the Lord Thief.
One more step and I'll be free to go anywhere I want. If I don't enter, I'll die!
This time, she completely believed what she was thinking, and her eyes shined brighter than ever.
At the same time, the soul imprint that had been brewing deep within her heart grew brighter and brighter. It was as if with just a thought, she could transform completely. However, she couldn't even detect it.
That was her, who belonged to this world and belonged to her soul. Perhaps there would be other places in the future, but now, she had to integrate herself into this world!
