"If it's a betrothal gift, it would seem that I'm too stingy." Chu Xiu smiled and said softly, "This is my nephew's wish. Auntie, just carry on."
Jiang Rou looked at Chu Xiu steadily for a while, then nodded slowly, "Okay, auntie, you're welcome."
"My aunt doesn't have to be polite to my nephew." Chu Xiu said, and then added, "However, my aunt should still be polite."
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Rou was amused.
"I'm in a hurry recently for my wine store. I'm sure my uncle will be happy to help me fill up the wine store." Chu Xiu said leisurely. He would do anything to the aunt in front of him, no matter how nice he was.
But when it came to that little uncle, he always felt that he was at a bit of a disadvantage and wanted to tease him... even though this little uncle had stood up for him when he was in the most critical moment and even planned to sacrifice himself.
Probably every man is like this, brothers often change back and forth between adoptive father and dog.
"..."
at dusk.
Xia Qingshan returned from the medicinal forest and met Chu Xiu who had left.
"You..." Xia Qingshan was startled, then overjoyed. Unexpectedly, he met Chu Xiu at the door of his house.
At this moment, Chu Xiu was carrying a huge package. When he saw Xia Qingshan, he grinned, "Uncle."
After shouting, he walked away quickly.
Xia Qingshan was stunned, and then he noticed the mountain-like package that Chu Xiu was carrying on his back.
"In there..." Xia Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurried back to the mansion. As soon as he reached the outer courtyard, he saw many more potholes in the courtyard.
"Not good." Xia Qingshan's entire face froze, and the uneasiness in his heart was extremely strong.
"Master." Jiang Rou walked out at the right time and looked at Xia Qingshan with a smile.
Xia Qingshan's face was livid, he glanced at Jiang Rou, and without saying a word, he began to check the wine stored in the mansion.
"Hou'er wine, Wangyou wine, Wuquan wine, Sangluo wine and Tusu wine were basically poached by that kid." Jiang Rou said with a smile.
"How dare he?" Xia Qingshan's face turned dark. Xia Mansion's wine is not only for drinking, but also for making friends.
Moreover, Wangyou wine and Houer wine were both left by him to his adoptive father.
Jiang Rou said leisurely: "He is the thirteenth gentleman of Zhuque Academy. What can't he do?"
"Why didn't you stop him from ordering it?" After discovering that Chu Xiu had taken away all the 500-year-old monkey wine he had hidden deepest, Xia Qingshan couldn't help but glare at Jiang Rou, with a bit more complaint in his eyes.
"Why do you want to stop me?" Jiang Rou looked innocent and felt very funny in her heart. Her husband's reaction was exactly the same as the boy's guess.
"You...you...I'm going to make you so angry." Xia Qingshan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Jiang Rou tilted her head slightly, "You are so stingy."
"Am I stingy?" Xia Qingshan was stunned, and then his whole face turned completely dark.
Is this something stingy?
This is the accumulation of generations of my Xia family.
Just like this, you said I'm stingy when I haven't even cursed anyone yet?
Xia Qingshan was angry and aggrieved, staring at Jiang Rou without saying a word.
Jiang Rou's face remained as usual, she reached into her arms, took out a bright yellow fruit, and looked at it as she was thinking about it.
Xia Qingshan frowned, thought for a moment, then moved quietly to Jiang Rou's side.
"What kind of fruit is this?" Xia Qingshan asked curiously, faintly smelling an alluring fragrance.
"It's called the longevity fruit. If you eat one, you can live forever." Jiang Rou said truthfully.
"Eternal Life Fruit?" Xia Qingshan was startled, and immediately his face was filled with black lines, "Do you believe it?"
"If you said it, I don't believe it." Jiang Rou said leisurely, "Xiao Xiu said it, I believe it."
"Chu Xiu..." Xia Qingshan frowned, looked at the longevity fruit carefully, and said suspiciously, "That kid, could he have been deceived?"
Although he had just been robbed of wine all over the mansion, he did not think that Chu Xiu would lie to Jiang Rou. He only thought that Chu Xiu might have been deceived by others.
Jiang Rou suddenly said: "I have eaten one."
"How do you feel?" Xia Qingshan stared at Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou muttered: "I feel like I can knock you away with one punch now."
Xia Qingshan: "???"
"You don't believe it?" Jiang Rou narrowed her eyes.
Xia Qingshan coughed lightly and said, "I believe whatever you say."
"Then eat it." Jiang Rou directly handed the longevity fruit in her hand to Xia Qingshan.
Xia Qingshan took it without hesitation and took a bite.
Even if the woman in front of him is feeding him poison, he will take it without hesitation.
"Xiaoxiu just wants to tease you." Jiang Rou chuckled.
"Haha~, are you kidding me and taking away so much wine from me?" Xia Qingshan chuckled.
"Eat it quickly." Jiang Rou was not angry, thinking that Xiao Xiu was right, this person was too stingy.
Xia Qingshan said nothing more, looked at the longevity fruit in his hand, and took another bite. He already felt a ray of warmth in his abdomen, spreading to his limbs.
"Can you really live forever after eating this fruit?" Xia Qingshan muttered in his heart.
"Xiao Xiu said that the medicinal effect of this fruit will slowly be reflected in our bodies." Jiang Rou whispered, "He may be worried that our sudden change will attract some people's attention."
Xia Qingshan paused and said, "I have heard similar statements many times."
Jiang Rou was startled and looked up at Xia Qingshan.
Xia Qingshan complained: "People who sell counterfeit medicines often say this, saying that the effects of the medicine are not visible at the time and will not show up in the body until enough time has passed."
Jiang Rou was stunned, and then she couldn't help but feel happy.
…
"Why do I feel like I'm still at a loss?"
In the sky, in the white clouds.
Chu Xiu muttered while drinking the newly acquired wine.
The so-called longevity fruit is just a little bit of life essence that he refined. Compared to Yuanzu, those two longevity fruits are not even one billionth.
However, this life essence, which is not even one billionth of a billion, can make Xia Qingshan and Jiang Rou truly immortal... at least, within the realm of Desolate Heaven, they can truly become immortal.
"I seem to have given it too abruptly." Chu Xiu gently swayed the wine glass. His strength was too high, his vision was too broad, and he looked too high, often overlooking some things.
"An ordinary couple gains the ability to live forever. From now on..."
"No, those are my aunt and uncle. How can they be considered an ordinary couple?"
"One person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
"If I were Zhang Bairen, they would definitely ascend to heaven."
Thinking like this, Chu Xiu felt a little at ease.
The main thing is... In this wilderness, his strength is enough to settle anything.
"Should we go back to the academy first, or go to Cangyuan Wall first?"
After thinking for a while, Chu Xiu made a decision.
Cangyuan wall.
He guessed that since Mr. Qin and Queen Anlan could get the news about the second senior brother, Suzaku Academy must have known about it for a long time.
"Perhaps some of the senior brothers and sisters in the back mountain have already gone to Cangyuan Wall."
