Wei Lian settled into Wang Chen's home.
During the day, she stayed in the yard or kitchen, practicing martial arts and helping with household chores.
Feeding chickens, chopping wood, cleaning, doing laundry, brewing tea...
She didn't step foot outside the house.
At night, she would rest in the underground chamber.
Wang Chen bought two curtains from the city and hung them at the entrances of the two small rooms connected to the chamber.
Each had their own bedroom, with the large chamber in between serving as a shared living space.
When they first started living together, Wei Lian was very cautious.
She revered Wang Chen while also holding a slight guard.
But after spending some time together, the constant circumspection and politeness from Wang Chen gradually put the girl at ease.
She began to reveal another side of herself.
"Immortal Master, please have some tea,"
Inside the chamber, Wei Lian served Wang Chen a cup of steaming, fragrant tea.
"Thank you,"
