Chu Chen looked at the people coming and going on the street. Men, women, old, and young all looked very relaxed. However, he smelled a trace of danger in the air!
Could it be that they would meet Ling Xuan's master, Ku Xin's Beloved, in this mortal world? If it was really him, even if there were ten of him and Tong Meng, they would still die.
Chu Chen quickly closed his eyes and released his spiritual perception, hovering above the town like a big bird. A 3D hologram of the town immediately appeared in his mind. Every detail, every blade of grass, and every tree became incomparably clear.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Chu Chen opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"How is it?" Tong Meng's eyes were full of concern.
"There shouldn't be any danger. I haven't left the mountain for a long time. I was nervous." Chu Chen smiled.
Hearing this, Tong Meng let out a sigh of relief. She didn't want her hometown to be in danger and misfortune because of her return.
Luwang Town wasn't big. It only had a radius of a few dozen miles. Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a tile-roofed house that was slightly low. The door was ajar. Faintly, the sound of roosters crowing could be heard from inside.
When they reached the door, Tong Meng suddenly became nervous. She carefully looked at the clothes on her body. Her small hands couldn't help but clench and loosen. Even her body was slightly trembling.
She was afraid of returning home …
Chu Chen smiled slightly. He stepped forward and slowly pushed open the simple wooden door of the small courtyard.
"Sister Tong, embroidery is really hard to sell now. It's not that I want to lower the price …"
The courtyard door was pushed open. In the simple courtyard, two people were softly arguing about something.
One of them was a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties. She was thin and wore simple plain clothes. Her face was sallow and her complexion was not very good.
The other woman looked to be in her fifties or sixties. She was slightly plump and didn't look young. However, her face was still covered in makeup and she wore a fancy dress.
As the two of them were discussing the market for embroidery, they saw the door open. Two immortal-like handsome figures pushed open the door and walked in.
The difference between cultivators and mortals could be seen from their appearance alone. Because cultivators absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth all year round and tempered their spiritual sense, their overall temperament would appear incomparably light and untainted like immortals.
In addition, Chu Chen and Tong Meng were good-looking to begin with. One of them had a face as delicate and cute as a porcelain doll, while the other had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. They were really like celestial children that attracted attention.
Therefore, when they saw these two people enter, the two women who were whispering in the courtyard were stunned for a moment. After seeing the faces of the two people, the somewhat thin woman's face suddenly became happy: "Meng 'er, you're back!"
"Mother!"
Tong Meng called out softly. She hurriedly rushed over and hugged him, her tears falling like rain.
"Don't cry, even an old woman like me didn't cry. You're a cultivator, how can you casually cry like before? I can't be happier to be able to see you before I die. How can you cry?" Madam Tong was also a bit emotional. Her eyes immediately became wet and she gently wiped her eyes.
The red-eyed Tong Meng hugged her adoptive mother even tighter.
Madam Tong gently held Tong Meng's face. After looking at it for a while, she said with a smile: "My Meng 'er is really getting more and more beautiful. When I first saw you, I didn't even dare to recognize you."
"Mother is getting younger and younger."
"You little girl, I told you to cultivate, but you only know how to sweet-talk." Madam Tong pinched Tong Meng's face and then asked softly: "You're so busy cultivating with immortals, how … did you have time to come back?"
"Mother, even immortals have to go home to visit their relatives." Tong Meng giggled and said in a cute and innocent manner.
"Is this Meng 'er? Oh, it's only been three years and you've already become so beautiful. I almost don't dare to recognize you. "
Seeing this scene of mother and daughter reunion, the slightly plump woman at the side clicked her tongue and sighed. She immediately beamed with joy.
"Auntie Li."
Hearing this, Tong Meng turned to look at the plump woman. Her beautiful brows furrowed imperceptibly: "Today I'm reunited with my mother. If Auntie Li doesn't have any urgent matters, you can go back. Let us have a good chat."
Chu Chen was slightly stunned. Little junior sister had always been amiable. No matter who she spoke to, she was always polite. Why was she so impolite now?
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go back now."
Tong Meng's impolite tone didn't anger the slightly plump woman at all. She beamed with joy and looked Tong Meng up and down. The wrinkles on her face were squeezed together by her smile.
When she walked to Chu Chen's side and saw Chu Chen's handsome and dignified appearance, Auntie Li smiled: "What a handsome young man. Are you married? Do you want Auntie to introduce you to a girl? A virtuous lady from a prestigious family, a pretty girl from a humble family, everything you want … "
"Auntie, please leave."
Before the plump woman could finish speaking, Tong Meng's voice suddenly rose a few octaves. The impatience in her voice was very obvious. Auntie Li was startled and couldn't help but walk out in a hurry.
Chu Chen discovered that his little junior sister didn't have a normal dislike for this plump woman. It seemed that she often took advantage of Madam Tong.
Since they only came back once after cultivating in Biquan Xianzong for three whole years, his little junior sister's adoptive mother was very happy. She enthusiastically invited Chu Chen into a side room and took out a bag of tea leaves from the bottom of the chest. She boiled a pot of water and brewed it. Then, she respectfully brought it to Chu Chen: "Exalted Immortal, please have some tea."
The people in the small town were far away from the world of cultivators. They couldn't tell the difference between cultivators and true immortals. Therefore, in the hearts of the simple old people, anyone who cultivated the Dao of Immortality was an exalted immortal in the heavens.
"Auntie, you're too kind!"
Chu Chen hurriedly stood up and took the chipped teacup. The teacup was very rough, but the fragrance of the tea was very enticing.
"Take a seat first. I'll go cook for you." Madam Tong said as she walked towards the kitchen. Tong Meng bounced along beside her to help.
When the elder of Biquan Xianzong brought Tong Meng to the mountain, he saw that Madam Tong lived in poverty. He was moved and left some money for her to live.
It was because of that outer sect elder's good fortune that Madam Tong was able to buy this house from someone who was about to move. She finally had a residence that could shelter her from the wind and rain.
Therefore, Chu Chen was bored and looked around. This house was a typical small farmhouse courtyard.
There were two side rooms, one for the living room and one for the bedroom. There was a small courtyard, a kitchen, and two other side rooms. One of them was a firewood room, which was used to store some miscellaneous items. The other side room was used to raise chickens, ducks, and pigs. It looked extremely simple.
