Chapter 708 - Reunited and It Feels So Good (1/2)

Ever since the reconstruction and the merging of the Netherworld with Qing Xuan Earth and Star to form the two realms of the Yin and Yang, the Qing Xuan Earth and Star had expanded significantly and was known as the mortal realm by the holy deities. Besides the Daluo immortals, no one knew how big the mortal realm was.

Within the world, there were four extensive continents known as the Yuan Continent, Xuan Continent, Ling Continent and the Tian Continent. Beyond the continents, there were countless schools of cultivation, a big population of living creatures and the demons as well as celestial beings that acted out the joys of sorrows of the world.

As time ran its course, the chaos in the mortal realm had been resolved. For the mortals who lived a short period of time, the dramatic change of the world millions of years ago were just a heap of old books.

Mount Qing Xia was located on the northeast side of the Yuan Continent. Compared to other places, the Qi of vitality there was relatively less dense, and thus, cultivators rarely hung around there. There was a small town known as the Baijia Town at the foot of the mountain. The people have lived there for generations. There was something odd about Mount Qing Xia. Ever since the Baijia Village was built, Mount Qing Xia has never experienced any major natural disasters. Although they did not harvest much, there have never been through famine. Because of that, other towns within a hundred miles radius were envious of this village of fish and rice grains. On top of that, besides Mount Qing Xia, the region was generally flat and merchants loved to take the Baijia Town route.

The prosperity of the town was comparable to other cities.

There was a restaurant known as the 'Restaurant Drunk and No Return'. It was said that the restaurant was graced by celestials.

The restaurant was named by a celestial but their business was not great in the past. Ever since the old master of The Restaurant Drunk and No Return passed away years ago, the seventeen years old mistress took over the business.

The mistress' name was Gu Weiwei and she was one the rare people of the Baijia Town whose family name was not Bai. Perhaps that was the reason why the business of the restaurant was not great.

Gu Weiwei was seventeen years old and was supposed to be married. There were two marriage attempts previously but before it could happen, the groom would mysteriously die of illness. No one dared to marry her and her marriage was delayed. She became a subject of rumors and the reason her father passed away was partially related to depression.

Ever since Gu Weiwei took over the restaurant, the business went from bad to worse. She paid off her workers and decided to close down the business.

However, the second morning, she habitually opened the doors.

The sun has not risen on a chilly autumn morning and there was a layer of frost on the old tree. Gu Weiwei shivered in coldness and was shocked to discover a Daoist sleeping outside of the restaurant. His clothes were old and ripped, he was unkempt and it was hard to tell his age.

Gu Weiwei took pity on him and bent down to check if he was still breathing. If he was still breathing, she intended to save his life.

She placed her fingers near his nose but there were no signs of breath. She sighed and thought that he was dead. She felt pitiful for the cultivator but she has never expected to have a dead person at her restaurant. On top of that, with the widely spread negative rumors about her, it would be impossible to sell the restaurant.

A sudden sneeze shocked her finger hit something that was bulging.

The Daoist woke up and looked at Gu Weiwei with a confused face. His eyes suddenly brightened and he said, ”Apprentice-Sister!”

Gu Weiwei was somewhat happy that the Daoist was awake. She thought that he must have mistaken her for someone else.

She responded, ”Why don't you come in for a cup of hot water?”

The Daoist looked around and asked, ”Apprentice-Sister, where is this?”

Gu Weiwei answered, ”Dao Master, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am Gu Weiwei, not your Apprentice-Sister.”

The Daoist frowned as if he was reminiscing something. He then lifted his head and looked at her with tears in his eyes.
