C1983 Empire Bottom
A young lady dressed in red, who was around seventeen or eighteen years old, walked out of the Cloud Tower s cabin door and down the stairs. In her arms was a white leopard cat with an arrogant expression and indifferent eyes.
It is precisely what I, Jiang Tian, am!
"No matter how much I tease you, you ignore me!" "She really is a proud little cutie!"
The girl scratched the top of the white leopard cat's melon skin and pouted her bright red lips. She felt helpless and then continued to love the white leopard cat.
"Nannan, where did you get this leopard cat?"
Her parents, a middle-aged couple, greeted her with a kind smile.
The man had long arms and legs, tall and big, on his hands were burns, frostbite scars and calluses, and the artefact he wore to warm himself up looked like it was on the verge of death due to being worn down by the rune. With a glance, one could tell that he was a lowly mortal who lived a conservative life.
"I picked it up on the way here. It's so cute!"
The young girl ran over in delight and threw the kitten into her father's embrace. She hugged her mother's waist, rubbed her head against her neck and face and said coquettishly, "Mother, it's been three years since Daughter went to the capital. She really misses you!"
"Don't pick up living beings of unknown origins. You aren't young anymore, how can you be so ignorant? If it really is the berserk Demonic Beast, then we'll be in for a disaster! "
The man scolded with a straight face, but there was pride and love hidden in the depths of his eyes.
The man's surname was Lu, and their ancestor was friar who came from the Far Star Sea, a Nascent Soul Cultivation Level.
Just that, he was old and frail, and could not find a suitable job, and could not earn any merit points, so he could not earn any crystal s. Naturally, he could not get an household register in the big city, he could not walk around, was harassed by the Demonic Beast, was bullied by the strong friar, and had to suffer countless of hardships.
Giant Boulder City was originally an extremely cold place and wasn't suitable for living. Moreover, it didn't have a large scale pyridine Formation like the ones in the capital city and Jianghan City either.
Outside of the river, friar was not taken seriously in the empire. Moreover, on the mainland, the way was sturdy and the laws were suppressed, the nascent soul outside the river would usually only be able to display the power of Gold Pill and Qi Refining.
In Giant Stone City, the Patriarch did not have a high position, nor did he have any decent assets or savings. He could only hunt a few Demonic Beast, exchange them for crystal s, materials, and barely pass his days.
After struggling for decades, he finally married a female cultivator with inferior Cultivation Level and gave birth to a few Child. This could be considered as having established a firm foothold on this continent.
They only said that only a few disciples with extraordinary roots had appeared in their clan ever since the forefather had left.
In addition, the few techniques that the Patriarch had brought from the outside of the river did not conform to the natural laws of the world. The legacies that he had combined them with gradually faded away, until the current generation of the young girls reached the fifth generation generation, where they had already become mortal homes.
The man surnamed Lu operated a blacksmith shop. Because of his kind personality, his iron grade was good, and he never lacked business. In his generation in the northern part of the city, there were quite a few regular customers, so everyone affectionately called him Big Brother Lu.
Although her family was poor, Daughter managed to get a good job in the capital. As a maid in a marquis' house, the annual salary was not small. Furthermore, Master was willing to let her secretly learn some cultivation methods.
Men sometimes have their dreams. One day, will Daughter become friar again, become the best, and bring honor to her ancestors?
"Daddy, please don't be mean to me. I am currently a Foundation Building Cultivation Level after all. Since I have activated my Spiritual Sense, I can naturally tell if it is a Demonic Beast or not! It's just an ordinary cat! "
The young girl said with a proud expression.
"Exactly. Daughter finally returned home. She hadn't even had a bite of hot food, yet you were already so fierce and fierce. Besides, Daughter has the Cultivation Level, do you have it? "
Lu Family's mother doted on Daughter without respect, immediately turning fierce towards her husband.
"I was worried that she would suffer a loss. "In short, there's nothing wrong with being careful."
After being angered by his wife, his face had turned completely red, as if he was at a loss of what to do.
"Manhan, half a year ago, the young brother Li from the Li family, who was playing outside the city, picked up a white fox and brought it home. Who would have thought that it would actually be a Demonic Beast that had cultivated to the stage of a demonic core.
Father Lu Family chattered on.
The family of three walked through the snow towards the north of the city.2
The north district of the city was called Longshu Gully, which was a true slum. It was originally the sewage passage to Giant Boulder City. Later, when they were abandoned, the residents gathered at the bottom floor. The shabby houses were scattered and the terrain was extremely low. Year after year, ice and snow covered the houses, and sewage flowed and turned them into ice crystals.
The wooden door was pushed open, revealing white logs inside. The family of three walked through the cramped courtyard filled with stoves and forging tools, emitting a faint smell of rust as they walked into a large room.
"Oh right, Daughter, didn't you inform me earlier that you will only be able to return home once every three years? Why did he suddenly … Could it be that he caused trouble and made Master unhappy? "
After father Lu Family sat down, he asked with a face full of worry.
The white leopard cat was squatting on the ground, looking out the window at the snow. It seemed like it was listening to something.
"No."
Lu Manhan smiled and said:
"The new Sage Sage State Advisor Si Qing has moved into the Jing Jiang Mansion in Crown Prince Prefecture to have a housewarming feast. The marquis and his successor, whom I serve, are also going to the feast. Furthermore, this banquet is very grand. It is a flowing water banquet that lasts for ten days and ten nights. During this period of time, Master will not return to his residence.
She poured herself a cup of tea-water, gulped it down, wiped her mouth, and laughed, "Besides, State Advisor's ascension is also a celebration of the whole world, we are all going to have a holiday of ten days. That's why the main house is giving us servants time off to visit our families! "
"New State Advisor …"
The Lu Family couple only listened, and didn't take it to heart.
Such a grand character was far too far away from them. In fact, they had never even heard of the name of Sage Siqing before. This place was filled with vicious mountains and vicious water. The people lived in desolation, and there were barely any signs of human life. Even the information here was blocked.
However, seeing that Daughter hadn't caused any trouble, he was relieved.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Man Han, Man Han!" You're back? "Where is he?"
Along with the cheers, a fifteen or sixteen year old youth also excitedly ran into the courtyard.
"It's that Child from Kang City!"
"In the years that you were gone, he was always talking about you!"
The Lu Family couple immediately revealed kind smiles, and said goodbye to Daughter before hurriedly opening the door, allowing the youth in.
This young man was their neighbor, Kang Cheng.
The ancestors of the Kang family were also friar, who was outside of the river, and had a close relationship with Lu Family Ancestor. They had once roamed all over the empire, killed Demonic Beast together and fought against bandits together, and were people who could entrust their backs to each other.
However, after a thousand years, the Kang family was no longer glorious and had disappeared from the public. The Kang family's father was a hunter, and his mother worked as a servant in a rich family.
The two families were friends and neighbors, so naturally, they had a close relationship with each other. Kang Cheng and Lu Manhan were childhood sweethearts; they were like siblings.
Kang Cheng had been helping the two elders with their Lu Family the entire time. The two of them were injured and sick, and it was also he who had run back and forth to deliver the medicine for them. If there was any local ruffian who wanted to bully them, it was he who had protected the two elders and stood up for them.
