After buying cotton wool and coming out of the silk and satin shop, Wang Chu saw an old man with a hunched back, sitting at a roadside tea stall drinking tea.
To be precise, he is an old man who looks like he is on his deathbed, but is actually in the state of becoming a god.
While the old man was drinking tea, he used his spiritual thoughts to scan the passers-by who passed in front of him.
Soon, his spiritual thoughts swept to Wang Chu.
At the same time, the old man's eyes also turned to Wang Chu.
Wang Chu pretended not to notice and continued walking forward.
When he passed by the old man, an old voice came to his ears:
"Master, please stay."
Wang Chu stopped and looked at the old man with a smile:
"Are you calling me?"
The old man put down his tea bowl,
"Exactly."
Wang Chu asked:
"What do you have to teach me, senior?"
The old man took out a crystal clear spiritual stone from his body:
"Nothing, I just want to ask the young master a few questions."
Wang Chu looked at the spirit stone and deliberately showed a trace of greed:
"Please tell me, I will definitely tell you everything I know, and I won't tell you everything."
The old man asked:
"May I ask how old you are this year?"
Wang Chu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered a famous joke from his previous life, and replied in a very wicked way:
"Just turned eighteen."
The old man nodded and then asked:
"Have you ever practiced?"
Wang Chu’s answer was mixed:
"Well, I practiced, but because I didn't have spiritual roots, I gave up soon."
The old man frowned slightly and was silent for a moment. Then, he handed the spirit stone in his hand to Wang Chu:
"Thank you for your answer, sir. This is the reward for your answer."
The old man did not notice anything strange in Wang Chu's words and expression, so he thought that Wang Chu was not lying.
As an old monster who has lived in the realm of gods for tens of thousands of years, he has always been very confident in his own judgment.
Wang Chu accepted the spirit stone and looked very excited:
"I should be the one thanking my seniors. With just two simple questions, I was able to earn a top-grade spiritual stone. It's really a huge bargain."
The old man smiled slightly:
"Young Master, I think it's fine if I don't lose anything."
Wang Chu quickly put the spirit stone into his sleeves, as if he was afraid that the old man would regret it:
"Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
The old man picked up the tea bowl again:
"there is none left."
Wang Chu turned around:
"I'm leaving."
The old man blew the hot air above the tea bowl:
"Sir, please excuse me."
Hearing this, Wang Chu passed the old man and ran towards the shop in a hurry.
The old man looked at Wang Chu's back, took a sip of tea, and then whispered to himself:
"The young man's age and temperament are very suitable for the eldest prince, but unfortunately...he is not."
The old man continued to search for any clues about the eldest prince among the people passing by.
Wang Chu, on the other hand, quickly returned to the shop and continued making shoes.
Time flies and the next morning comes.
Wang Chu had already prepared the wedding shoes that Liu Cuier wanted.
The shoes are all red, with a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the outer surface and filled with cotton wool.
If placed in an ordinary home, it would definitely be enough for the bride to wear at the wedding.
But if the object is Liu Cuier, who is about to marry the young master of the Xianmen, it will be a bit shabby.
Wang Chu has tried his best. This pair of wedding shoes is the highest masterpiece he has made without using any magical powers or spells.
If Liu Cuier disliked her, there was nothing he could do.
Putting the wedding shoes on the counter, Wang Chu took out a book from the counter and started fishing.
After touching for about half an hour, Liu Cuier walked into the store.
As soon as she came in, she saw the pair of shoes Wang Chu placed on the counter.
She quickened her pace, walked to the counter, reached out to pick up the shoes, and looked at them carefully.
At this time, Wang Chu put down the book in his hand and asked:
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?"
Liu Cuier put the shoes back in place and said with a smile:
"It's okay. I can see that you put your heart into it."
Wang Chu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up:
"As long as you're satisfied, then I'll install it for you?"
Liu Cuier nodded:
"Well, put it on."
Wang Chu immediately brought a red cloth bag, put the wedding shoes into the bag, and then handed the bag to Liu Cuier:
"When to go back."
Liu Cuier took the bag and replied:
"This afternoon."
Wang Chu said:
"Let's have a meal together before leaving, Mrs. Cui'er."
Liu Cuier hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Okay, I'll give you some face."
Wang Chu walked out of the counter,
"Where to eat? Mrs. Cui'er can tell you, I'm treating you today."
Liu Cuier thought for a while and asked:
"Do you have a kitchen here?"
Wang Chu was stunned:
"You want me to cook by myself?"
He looked troubled:
"Haha, it's all right, but my cooking skills are limited, so I'm afraid it may not be to Madam Liu's taste."
Liu Cuier chuckled:
"Who wants you to cook?"
She suddenly stopped smiling:
"I'm the one cooking. Do you remember the noodles from the noodle shop?"
Wang Chu fell into memories, with a look of nostalgia on his face:
"Of course you remember, the noodles at your Liujia Noodle House are the best on our street in Lingcheng. It's a pity... well, I haven't had such delicious noodles in half a year."
Liu Cuier said with a smile:
"I'll cook it for you today."
Wang Chu touched the back of his head:
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
He swallowed:
"Then let me help you."
While speaking, as if he was afraid that Liu Cuier would regret it, Wang Chu immediately took a few steps forward, came to a wooden door, and opened it:
"Please come in."
Liu Cuier shook her head and rolled her eyes:
"Tsk, as expected, you are still you."
After saying that, she walked towards the open door, her eyes gradually filled with expectation.
This was her first time to truly enter the world where Wang Chu lived.
Walking into the door, the first thing Liu Cuier saw was a bed. There were several bookshelves around the bed, filled with books.
Next to the bookshelf, there is a wooden table and four stools.
There is a corridor to the right of the table. The corridor does not extend far before you see a wall.
Next to this wall, there is a door.
Wang Chu walked from behind Liu Cuier to the front of her, opened the wooden door, and introduced her:
"This is the kitchen. There are oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, bacon, and some flour and vegetables. If you are still missing something, tell me and I will buy it now."
As the saying goes, only when you lose it can you know how valuable it is.
Wang Chu still misses the noodles at Liujia Noodle House.
Liu Cuier walked to Wang Chu's side with a smile and glanced towards the kitchen.
She saw that the kitchen stove was already covered with a layer of dust.
Liu Cuier waved one hand and muttered a few mantras, and saw that all the dust on the stove had been cleaned away. At this time, she said:
"No, these are enough. Just help me light the fire and add more wood."
Wang Chu nodded:
"Okay, let Fairy Liu do whatever she wants. Fairy is really good at it."
After saying that, Wang Chu rushed into the kitchen, added firewood to the stove, and started to light a fire.
Liu Cuier looked at Wang Chushenghuo's back, smiled slightly, and her eyes suddenly became dazed.
If Wang Chu had not rejected their marriage at the beginning, then the man in front of her now would be her husband.
She should have inherited her father's noodle shop and became the proprietress of the noodle shop...
As she thought about it, Liu Cuier's heart began to get confused.
Because she has been influenced by various books on spiritual cultivation since childhood, Liu Cuier has had the idea of cultivating immortals since she was a child.
This thought became especially strong after she witnessed her father die of illness.
Therefore, Liu Cuier left Lingcheng and chose to worship at Qingcheng Mountain, the most famous immortal gate near Lingcheng.
Originally, in Liu Cuier's imagination, cultivating immortals and asking questions was very beautiful.
It's nothing more than practicing together with fellow disciples, studying Taoism, and then eliminating evil and promoting good, slaying demons and monsters, and finally achieving righteousness, turning away from the mortal world and becoming an immortal.
However, the reality is that since she left Lingcheng and joined Qingcheng Mountain, Liu Cuier has never been happy again.
Even though she was attracted by the young sect leader of Qingcheng Mountain, she became his fiancée and was about to get married to that young sect leader.
Liu Cuier didn't feel any joy at all.
Some are just the clouds of the past that are constantly swirling in my mind, and a question that often pops up in my heart:
Is cultivating an immortal really suitable for me?
