Chapter 698: Thousand Years of Love Fourteen
The King of Hell looked at Zhang Xintong holding the God-killing Hammer, wondering which ancestor had come to the underworld. He just wanted to send the person away quickly.
"Who's down there?"
Zhang Xintong holds fist
"I am Bai Suzhen, and this is my sister Xu Jiaorong. She was captured and brought to the underworld before her life was over. I am here to save her."
The King of Hell looked at Judge Bao and the Black and White Impermanence. Judge Bao immediately handed over the Book of Life and Death, and the King of Hell took a look at it meaningfully.
"Since her life span is not over yet, then take her away!"
Zhang Xintong holds fist
"Then I'll take my sister away. Thank you."
Judge Bao was about to say something but was stopped by the King of Hell. Zhang Xintong took Xu Jiaorong along the Path of Return to the Living and returned to the human world.
After Zhang Xintong left, the King of Hell breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending this ancestor away. Fortunately, the snake demon was reasonable and much better than the monkey that caused trouble in the underworld.
Zhang Xintong went straight back to Xu's house. The house had been cleaned by the servants and there was no smell of realgar powder at all.
Zhang Xintong released Xiaoqing and Xu Jiaorong's bodies from the space. Xu Jiaorong's soul entered her own body and she woke up after a while.
"Sister-in-law, are we back?"
Zhang Xintong nodded
"Sister, we are back."
"Where are Gongfu and Hanwen?"
"My brother-in-law has gone to the government office to ask for leave, and the official has gone to prepare medicine."
Xu Jiaorong rubbed her head
"Why did Gongfu ask for leave? Who will Hanwen prescribe medicine for?"
"My brother-in-law said he would stay at home to take care of you for a few days. My husband said you were frightened and wanted to give you some medicine to calm you down."
“These two are really!”
Xu Jiaorong was fine, having recovered completely after a few days of rest. Since everyone in the family knew the identities of Zhang Xintong and Xiaoqing, they felt much more comfortable getting along with each other.
Zhang Xintong's belly gradually became more noticeable and the weather was getting hotter. She didn't like going out and her sitting time was shortened to two hours a day.
Xiaoqing heard that there was a summer resort outside the city where it was cooler.
"Sister, do you want to go?"
Zhang Xintong entering the space can solve the problem of heat, but she can't stay in the space all the time, not to mention Xiaoqing is there.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with your brother-in-law."
Xu Xian knew that his wife was feeling hot and annoyed, so since there was a summer resort, he decided to rent one and stay there for the summer. He had a carriage at home, so it would be convenient to travel back and forth.
There are several summer resorts outside the city. Zhang Xintong will live here for many years and has some money, so she just bought one.
There is a river running through the village, and the trees are lush and verdant. There is plenty of water and trees, so it is cool.
After buying the farm, the family of five moved there to live, going into the city in the morning and leaving the city in the evening.
There are five people in the family. Zhang Xintong and Xu Xian are a couple, Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu are a couple, and Xiaoqing is the only one who is alone. She can't help feeling lonely sometimes.
Xiaoqing loves to drink. Zhang Xintong has a lot of good wine in her space, and she took out a lot for Xiaoqing.
At night, Zhang Xintong, Xu Xian, Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu all rested. Xiaoqing was having a drink facing her shadow on the wall, feeling very comfortable. When she felt like it, she took out the Qinghong Sword and performed a set of swordsmanship on the wall.
Zhang Yutang, who was lying on a big tree not far away, was shocked by this scene and fell in love with Xiaoqing at once.
Zhang Yutang is the only son of Mr. Zhang in the south of the city. His family also has a farm here. He came here to escape the summer heat. Unexpectedly, he met Xiaoqing, who is beautiful and good at martial arts, and she has won Zhang Yutang's heart.
"May I ask your name, young lady?"
Zhang Yutang, holding a folding fan, was handsome, with a clear yet foolish look in his eyes and a simple, innocent smile. He never considered that the woman who dared to wield a sword alone on the wall in the middle of the night could be an ordinary person. Yet, he had no guard against her at all.
Xiaoqing looked at the handsome Zhang Yutang and was actually tempted by him.
"My name is Xiaoqing, may I know what your address is, sir?"
Zhang Yutang folded his folding fan and clasped his fists in salute.
"My name is Zhang Yutang, son of Mr. Zhang from the south city. May I know who the girl is?"
Xiaoqing remembered that her sister said that people who want to spend their lives together should not lie, so she told the truth.
"I am the younger sister of Doctor Xu's wife from Baohe Hall in the city, and I live in the Xu Mansion."
Zhang Yutang wasn't an obedient child, nor was he ambitious. He was simply infatuated. In his previous life, he nearly died for Xiaoqing. He didn't care that Xiaoqing was a demon, nor did he care that she had a quirky personality that made her different from ordinary people. Unfortunately, the two were not destined to be together. To keep Zhang Yutang alive, Xiaoqing asked Bai Suzhen to use magic to make him forget her, and they never recognized each other when they met.
"Miss, this wine is really delicious. Can I have a drink with you?"
Xiaoqing patted the wall
"certainly"
The two drank and chatted on the wall until dawn. They both felt a little reluctant to leave, but they both had to go home.
"Miss Xiaoqing, can we meet here tonight?"
Xiaoqing is a demon who doesn't know how to play hard to get. She is free-spirited and does whatever she wants. In her previous life, she fell in love with Zhang Yutang and performed the Zhougong ceremony. This also led to Zhang Yutang's parents disliking Xiaoqing and thinking that she was not the daughter of a good family.
"Of course, see you tonight!"
Xiaoqing returned home humming a little tune. The four people in the family were waiting for her for dinner. They went to her room but couldn't find her. They wondered where she had gone.
"Xiaoqing, come and have dinner quickly."
Xu Jiaorong called Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing sat down happily. Zhang Xintong seemed to be thinking about something. Xiaoqing was not in a good state. She looked like the state she was in her previous life when she was in love with Zhang Yutang.
At the dinner table, Zhang Xintong didn't say anything, but when they arrived at Baohe Hall, Zhang Xintong called Xiaoqing to the backyard.
"Xiaoqing, tell me, do you have someone you like?"
Xiaoqing didn't expect her sister to be so perceptive. She noticed the slightest sign and nodded.
"Well, last night I met a handsome young man at the farm. His name is Zhang Yutang, the son of Mr. Zhang from the south city. I have a good impression of him."
Zhang Yutang? He and Xiaoqing actually met again?
"Xiaoqing, I don't mind you having someone you like, but I have a few things to tell you."
"Sister, you say"
"First, you have snake venom in your body. If you combine with Zhang Yutang, his life will be in danger. However, your sister can cure the venom. It will just take some time to prepare the antidote. You can't perform the Zhougong ritual for the time being."
Xiaoqing is a little shy
"Sister, what are you talking about? How is that possible?"
Zhang Xintong......
I don't know you yet...
"Second: If you really want to be with Zhang Yutang, you have to tell him your true identity. Remember what my sister told you?"
Xiaoqing nodded
"My sister said you shouldn't lie to someone you want to spend your life with. I'm going to tell him my true identity tonight."
Zhang Xintong continued:
"Third: If you really want to be together, let him convince his parents and then come to ask for your hand in marriage. I will prepare a generous dowry for you. You are absolutely not allowed to get married secretly."
"Well, I listen to my sister."
"Fourth: If you decide to marry him, you must understand that you will be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family and the wife of Zhang Yutang. You can't do whatever you want like you do now. You must respect your parents-in-law and take good care of your husband. Think carefully before making a decision."
Xiaoqing frowned and said nothing.
Zhang Xintong continued:
"The last point, and the most important one, Xiaoqing, is that we demons can live for thousands of years. Although you can continue to cultivate after Zhang Yutang leaves, it will be difficult to cultivate once you become mortal and enter the mortal world. You must think this through clearly."
"Sister, what about you and brother-in-law?"
"Xiaoqing, I didn't tell you the truth before because I was afraid you would be angry. I have given up on ascending to heaven and don't want to become an immortal anymore."
