The Little Flower Fairy had just become human, and there wasn't enough time to drink the Spicy Soup when she was reincarnated. Xuanyuan Que was worried that she would use Immortal Technique at will, be considered a demon by the people, or even attract divine punishment.
He glanced at the old shopkeeper beside him.
The shopkeeper immediately understood and said with a smile, "Young Master, please follow me to check the goods for any issues. If there are none, I will package them for you."
Ruo Shui: "..."
Is it necessary to inspect even a Dingmen Stone?
Bogu Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation; their service to customers is simply setting the bar in the antique world.
He was about to say there was no need when the shopkeeper turned to Ruo Xuan and said, "Little girl, feel free to look around and see if there's anything else you like. Uncle Shopkeeper will take your father to inspect the stone you're interested in."
Ruo Shui's knees went weak!
No, was this old man blind?
Couldn't he see that he was dressed in plain clothes?
Just by looking at his clothes, one could tell that he couldn't afford it!
It's really like rubbing salt into the wound!
Indeed, there's no business without shrewdness; they even dare to earn the hard-earned money of the poor.
Ruo Xuan had questions she wanted to ask Divine Lord Xuanyuan, so she nodded: "Alright! Dad, you go ahead without worry! I'll see if there's anything else I like."
Ruo Shui's legs went weak again, and he feebly declined, "But Dad is worried about you being alone in the shop."
"Dad, don't worry, I won't run around."
Xuanyuan Que: "I can keep an eye on her."
The little boy, who appeared only four or five years old, had an aura that was cool, distant, and composed, inspiring trust unconsciously.
Ruo Shui could not refuse his daughter and had to leave her in the shop to see if there was anything she liked.
As long as his daughter liked it, he would work hard to earn silver in the future.
Madam Liu was just outside the door, able to see inside the shop. Since his daughter was well-behaved, Ruo Shui followed the shopkeeper with peace of mind to inspect the Dingmen Stone... no, not the Dingmen Stone, but the treasure of the shop!
He must inspect it thoroughly!
After her father and the shopkeeper left, Ruo Xuan couldn't wait to ask, "Did Divine Lord Xuanyuan restore my spirit and soul, tearing open the cycle of reincarnation to turn me into a human?"
Xuanyuan Que nodded: "Yes, remember to live well."
This time, they were merely mortals, with at most a hundred years of life.
Overcome with emotion, Ruo Xuan thought highly of the War God of the Ninth Heaven, a true good Samaritan, for saving her again: "Thank you, Divine Lord!"
Ruo Xuan recalled the first time she saw Xuanyuan Que; she had just developed spiritual intelligence, and he had been fighting all the way to the Ruoshui Riverbank with the Demon Lord.
She was so terrified! Afraid that the Spirit Root she stretched out would be accidentally injured by the clash of swords and sabres, she quietly drew it back in.
To her surprise, her Spirit Root accidentally tripped the Demon Lord, causing him to fall heavily. She was near being cut down by the Demon Lord in a fit of rage.
Fortunately, Divine Lord Xuanyuan saved her just in time, or she would have been killed!
Divine Lord Xuanyuan, true to his reputation as the War God of the Ninth Heaven, cared for all beings under the heavens. Not only did he use Immortal Technique to heal her injured Spirit Root, but he also taught her a set of Immortal Techniques and cultivation methods.
Otherwise, how could a flower that knew only to bask in the sunlight for cultivation turn into a spirit in just a hundred years?
This time Divine Lord Xuanyuan had restored her spirit and soul.
Restoring spirit and soul is said to consume ten thousand years of cultivation or even trade life for soul!
Divine Lord Xuanyuan is truly too kind!
Xuanyuan Que said indifferently, "No need to thank me, I just don't like owing favors to others."
She had shielded him from the Demon Lord's strike that had exhausted ten thousand years of cultivation. Naturally, he couldn't just watch her soul scatter to the winds.
Favors? What favors? Ruo Xuan, the flower, couldn't understand what favors Divine Lord Xuanyuan owed her.
After all, she never believed that she had taken the hit from the Demon Lord in his stead; she had just bumped into it while trying to dodge!
Xuanyuan Que had no idea what she was thinking and cut to the chase, "Can you now cultivate and use Immortal Techniques?"
Speaking of this, Ruo Xuan felt a little disheartened, "I can, but the spiritual energy here is too sparse! Even if I cultivate all night, I can only ripen a persimmon."
"But luckily, I can still sunbathe to cultivate!" she added happily.
Xuanyuan Que watched as her little face puckered into a small bud and then bloomed again, thinking to himself: Flowers can indeed absorb the Sun and Moon Essence to cultivate due to their constitution, something he could not do.
He cautioned her, "In the Three Realms, each realm has its own rules. Mortals cannot cultivate, and though you can cultivate in the mortal realm, you must not use Immortal Techniques, especially not to harm others."
"If I can't use Immortal Techniques, I could die!" Ruo Xuan frowned.
The feeling of an empty stomach is really too uncomfortable, unbearably so!
Divine Lord Xuanyuan looked at the little girl in front of him and found himself unable to refute.
Now she was just a three-and-a-half-year-old child, with no ability to protect herself. Even an adult mortal could easily carry her away.
Thinking of how this Little Flower Fairy, in her naivety, might encounter danger and not know how to avoid it, charging forward instead.
She had lived alone for a hundred years on the lifeless Ruoshui Riverbank, unaware of the wickedness of the world or the unpredictability of the human heart.
The harm humans can cause is much more complicated. Truly, not allowing her to use Immortal Technique to protect herself, she probably won't survive three days.
Thus, it would have been meaningless for him to have exhausted his ten-thousand-year cultivation to solidify her spirit, heal her soul, tear through the reversal path, and assist her reincarnation just to give her back her life.
He said, "In case of bad people or life-threatening situations, you may use spells, but you must not let anyone see."
Ruo Xuan nodded her little head vigorously, "I know that already!"
You mustn't use it in the presence of others, only when you're alone, or else you'll be burned to death as a monster.
Then Xuanyuan Que told her about the consequences of misusing Immortal Techniques.
"...Remember, there are laws in the human world, and there are the Heavenly Dao in the celestial realms. If you use Immortal Techniques to harm others in the mortal realm, not only will the government capture you, but you will also face the punishment of the Heavenly Dao."
Ruo Xuan had her own unique understanding. After all, being a flower, her thought processes naturally differed from those of humans.
Flowers have their own unique perspectives!
The more he talked, the more she thought there were many situations where she could use Immortal Techniques.
Ruo Xuan's smiling face bloomed like a flower, and she happily said, "Thank you for the guidance, Divine Lord Xuanyuan. I understand now!"
Her words turned Xuanyuan Que's originally serious and handsome face into a scowl: Why did he feel like she didn't understand at all?
Forget it, he had repaid her with life; whatever fate she had from now on had nothing to do with him.
At that moment, Ruo Shui carefully presented a beautifully crafted wooden box.
He felt that the wooden box was much more valuable than the stone inside!
Ruo Shui said to Xuanyuan Que, "Thank you, young master! After I find the stone and carve it, I'll deliver it to you immediately."
Xuanyuan Que just nodded.
Ruo Shui thought to himself, truly a son of a noble family, grandiose even at a young age, but too severe, like a little statue!
Children should be cute like Xuanbao.
Ruo Shui didn't know that Ruo Xuan was truly a child, but Xuanyuan Que, who had lived for over ten thousand years, couldn't possibly act like one.
"Xuanbao, do you have a favorite?"
Ruo Xuan shook her little head, "Not at the moment."
She hadn't looked carefully yet!
"Then Xuanbao, let's go!" Ruo Shui sighed in relief, quickly scooped up the wooden box with one hand, and with the other hand, scooped up his precious daughter, and headed outside.
The Shopkeeper saw them off warmly, "Welcome Mr. Ruo and Miss Ruo to visit again next time!"
Ruo Xuan said she would happily, and then turned to wave at Xuanyuan Que, "Young Master Xuanyuan, I'm leaving now! I'll come to see you again when I enter the city next time."
The Shopkeeper was secretly alarmed: The young master has actually revealed his surname?
She's coming back again? Ruo Shui's legs went weak, he stumbled on the threshold, and nearly dropped his daughter outside!
