Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 46

"Sir, welcome back."

Inside Lin Jiang's house, Liu Siyu greeted Lin Jiang as he stepped through the door, handing him a cup of tea.

"Hmm."

Lin Jiang nodded without any expression and entered the house. A table full of food was already prepared.

These meals were made by Liu Siyu. Before, Lin Jiang rarely cooked and mostly bought food outside. But now there are two more people at home. If they buy food according to the number of people, it might reveal a secret. So they decided to buy groceries and cook themselves.

Liu Siyu felt bad about just eating and drinking without contributing, so she took on the responsibility of cooking. In fact, Liu Siyu preferred doing household chores over practicing her skills. She was good at cooking and used to cook for the whole family.

"Where is Liu Dong?"

"Still practicing."

"Not eating?"

"Then let's not bother him."

Lin Jiang said that Liu Dong was full of hatred and entered a state of intense practice since coming to Lin Jiang's side. He would practice for more than 15 hours a day. Lin Jiang was worried that Liu Dong might lose control, but couldn't persuade him. Lin Jiang decided to let him be as they were both adults and should take responsibility for their own actions.

After finishing the meal, Lin Jiang played with Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao. At first, Lin Jiang didn't want to reveal this, but Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao weren't happy. They couldn't fly in the sky anymore, so they protested strongly about not being allowed to wander in the backyard.

Lin Jiang thought in his heart that he had already done the thing of sheltering them, which offended the Giant Wave Fish Gang. He didn't care about this matter anymore and continued to let them out, wandering in the yard every day.

Liu Siyu and the two were extremely shocked to find that Lin Jiang actually had two second-tier beast pets. Second-tier beast pets must have the strength of the Building Foundation Period. Obviously, not just anyone can afford to raise them. It's just that they are young and don't know about He Yunwei's affairs, otherwise they would definitely be able to think of something.

After setting up a stall in the morning, Lin Jiang rarely went out. He spent most of his time practicing, drawing symbols, and studying secret arts. His daily life was very regular and fulfilling.

That evening, as Lin Jiang finished drawing symbols and was getting ready to sleep, he suddenly heard some movement outside the door. Lin Jiang used his spiritual awareness to scan, and he knew it was Liu Siyu. He walked forward and opened the door.

"Sir."

Liu Siyu's voice was as small as a mosquito, with her head lowered.

"Is there something?"

Lin Jiang said. "Sir" was a respectful term of address, which Liu Siyu came up with by herself. It seemed a bit strange to always call him "taoist friend."

Liu Siyu hesitated, walked into Lin Jiang's room, and then seemed to summon a lot of courage. She turned around, pulled at her waist, and her coat slipped off, revealing her snow-white skin.

"Stop, what do you want to do?"

Lin Jiang urgently called out, he quickly turned around to see if Liu Dong was there, because he suspected that the siblings wanted to play leapfrog.

(Translated by Gravity Tales 😚)

"Sir, please accept me."

"Why do you say that?"

"My parents have passed away, I have no home anymore, and I'm so alone. I want to serve you for the rest of my life."

Liu Siyu spoke slowly, it had been half a year since the Trident Fish Gang was destroyed, and during this time, Liu Siyu had thought about many things.

The destruction of the Trident Fish Gang was a fact, and her family's ruin was also a fact. Seeking revenge, she actually didn't have much courage. She was just a young woman, so she wanted to find someone to rely on.

And this person, was Lin Jiang. After spending half a year with him, she knew that Lin Jiang was a very capable person. He could afford to raise two second-tier beast pets, which meant his abilities were definitely not low. He was much better than Liu Hui and the others who had judged Lin Jiang in the past.

So she wanted to offer herself as a pillow companion, to stay by Lin Jiang's side. This way, Lin Jiang wouldn't abandon them and could even support Liu Dong. In the past half year, Liu Dong had been practicing diligently, but due to the lack of resources, the results were actually quite poor.

She has been thinking about it for a long time, and has also hinted at Lin Jiang in her daily life, but Lin Jiang doesn't know if he can't understand or doesn't accept, so she is going all out tonight.

Lin Jiang looked at Liu Siyu and had to admit that Liu Siyu was very beautiful, definitely a stunning beauty, in her thirties but time seemed to have not left any traces on her face, still as amazing as when he first saw her, not sure if it's because of her skincare routine or the Appearance Fixing Pill she took.

For a beauty like her to make such a proactive move, if Lin Jiang didn't feel a little moved, it would be purely boasting. But now he's not in a wise man's time.

However, Lin Jiang was extremely calm at this moment. After taking Liu Siyu in, it was done with just closing the door, without even any hesitation. But what Lin Jiang thought about was that taking in Liu Siyu would mean having two more burdens, and Liu Dong's desire for revenge was so strong. Sooner or later, he would come after the Giant Wave Fish Gang. The Giant Wave Fish Gang was too powerful, and Lin Jiang was no match for them.

Also, there was his secret, Lin Jiang didn't even want to tell his own sister, Lin Ying, let alone someone else. On this point, Lin Jiang didn't want to trust anyone.

"Si Yu, you don't have to be like this. Liu Hui and I have a mutual benefit."

"But I have already fallen in love with you."

"I'm not worthy of your love. I'm not a good man. You know I go to Spring Coming Tower several times every month."

"Isn't it normal for men to have multiple wives and mistresses?"

Liu Siyu felt strange. Is it always true that men who visit Spring Coming Tower a few times a month are bad men? Then how should we consider those men who have multiple wives and concubines? Aren't all men in this world like that, even her own father had several wives and concubines after her mother died.

Lin Jiang was a bit speechless. He almost forgot about the traditions of this world. Going to Spring Coming Tower doesn't mean someone is a bad man at all. There is simply no such saying.

"Your father and I are friends, I am your elder, it is not appropriate."

"Sir, what is the custom here?"

"I..."

Lin Jiang was a bit dumbfounded. Is it really this difficult to reject a woman?

"Sir, if you feel disgusted by Siyu, I am actually still a virgin. My father..."

"That's not what I meant."

"Then why did you refuse?"

"I treated you like my niece, I didn't have romantic feelings for you."

Lin Jiang thought for a moment and came up with another excuse. He couldn't mention anything about personal gain; that would be too hurtful and cause tension among everyone.

"Sir, you..."

"No need to say more, just rest well."

Lin Jiang quickly interrupted her. "Stop talking, the more we talk, the more complicated it gets," he said as he turned around to leave.

"Where are you going, sir?"

"I ate too much for dinner, I'm going out to digest the food."

With a last remark, Lin Jiang quickly slipped away.

An hour later, Lin Jiang arrived at Spring Coming Tower. Getting rid of indigestion was a lie, getting rid of his desire was true.

"Come, tonight we will fight to the death, and don't stop fighting even if lightly injured."

Lin Jiang said to a woman who looked somewhat like Liu Siyu, "Tonight, if we don't have a big battle, we won't be able to resolve this."

·······

After that night, Liu Siyu didn't give up on taking care of Lin Jiang. She firmly believed in a saying, "When a man pursues a woman, a mountain can't separate them; when a woman pursues a man, a layer of veil can't separate them."

Lin Jiang didn't agree. He felt that there were still concerns, so she needed to dispel them.

So after that night, Liu Siyu quickly changed her mindset and took on the role of the lady of the house. Not to mention cooking and cleaning, she also actively took care of Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao, and took care of Lin Jiang in every possible way.

She also occasionally showed off her impressive qualities. She couldn't believe that with her figure and appearance, she couldn't win over Lin Jiang.

This made Lin Jiang feel overwhelmed. He was someone who responded better to gentleness than toughness. When others acted tough towards him, he would be even tougher. But faced with this abundance of tenderness, Lin Jiang had no choice but to frequently go to Spring Coming Tower. There was no other choice, the rising fire had to be extinguished.

As a result, the storage bag couldn't handle it anymore. More was going out than coming in.

"Gentle Village, Hero's Tomb, I can't stay in Gentle Village, I have to run."

When Lin Jiang thought about it, his first instinct was to run away. If Liu Siyu didn't have all these messy things like the Giant Wave Fish Gang, he would definitely not be able to control himself. But with these things, it only made Lin Jiang even calmer.

The most important thing is that he couldn't be a true scumbag, leaving without a trace and running away with his pants pulled up. So Lin Jiang could only run away directly.

Anyway, Lin Yu had been using this identity for many years. Even if it wasn't for this thing, he would have abandoned this identity in a few years. So he might as well do it a little earlier this time.

After waiting for another month, Liu Siyu didn't wait for Lin Jiang to come home on this day. She was worried and wanted to go out to find him, but she found that she couldn't open the magic barrier of the courtyard.

Finally, she came to Lin Jiang's room again. On the desk in the room, she saw a storage bag and a letter. Liu Siyu trembled all over, as if she remembered something. Then, she tremblingly picked up the letter and opened it.

"Siyu, Liu Dong, I'm leaving. I have already left Yunzhong City. I won't come back again in this lifetime. I have my own path to follow, without the burdens of family. Don't try to find me, and don't miss me. Just consider me a passerby in your lives.

I have already paid three years' rent for this house. The kitchen has enough supplies for you to use for three months. The magic barrier in the house will disappear automatically after three months. You must take care of yourselves.

Inside the storage bag, there are several spiritual talismans for your protection. There is also a book about my experience in drawing symbols, which I'm giving to Liu Dong. Liu Dong has gone mad with revenge, and I can't relieve the obsession in his heart. So I'm leaving behind a cultivation technique called the "Overlord Scroll." It has great power, but the cost is also great. There are detailed descriptions in the book. After Siyu reads it, you can decide whether to give it to Liu Dong or not.

- Lin Yu.

"Sir."

Liu Siyu exclaimed in surprise, her mind went blank. She couldn't understand why she had turned into this, is she going to become that helpless person again?
