Su Muqing and the other person appeared before Su Minghui, startling them as well.
“Qing, girl! You’re back? You… you didn’t pack anything, did you?” Su Minghui’s heart finally felt a great burden lifted upon seeing Su Muqing return safely.
“Girl, girl, you’re back?” Madam Wang heard Su Muqing’s voice and jumped down from the ox cart.
“It’s good you’re back, good you’re back! You truly are stubborn, girl, you never listen to me no matter what I say.” Madam Wang rushed over with two steps and pulled her tightly into her embrace.
Su Muqing felt her neck getting a little wet. Her aunt was actually crying from worry!
“Hahaha, yes, yes, it’s good you’re back safely. You don’t know, your aunt blamed me for not bringing you back and almost scolded me like I was her grandson. She hasn’t spoken to me all day, not even cooking anything for me! I’m starving!” Su Minghui said, pulling at Madam Wang’s sleeve pleadingly.
“Humph!” Madam Wang snorted proudly, then smiled through her tears, quickly raising her sleeve to wipe away her tears.
Su Muqing wiped Madam Wang’s face and said, “Uncle, Aunt, please get onto my ox cart! I have something to tell you.”
“But, I need to be here…” Su Minghui, as the leader, was always at the front of the procession.
“Village Chief Uncle, you can all rest assured and get onto the ox carts behind. I’ll help lead the team here and guarantee nothing will happen.” Old San rode his vehicle, looking expectantly at Su Minghui.
Miss Su said this magical artifact was faster than Qing Gong. He wanted to test if it was truly that fast. And there were so many brothers lining up waiting!
Su Minghui naturally wouldn’t refuse, so he let Old San lead the team. He, Madam Wang, and Su Muqing waited by the roadside for the ox cart to arrive.
Su Cuiping: “Daddy, Mommy? Why did you come over?”
Lin Rongrong: “Uncle, Aunt.”
“Is this a dog? Why does it look so strange?” As soon as Madam Wang got onto the ox cart, she saw the Alaskan Malamute.
“Mom, this is Muqing’s divine dog. Its name is Fatty La. I heard it’s from a foreign land and is especially intelligent. It can even take care of children! I just saw it with my own eyes.”
“A foreign dog? Let me see what it looks like.” Su Minghui also became interested and quickly took it, holding it and looking at it non-stop.
After they had doted on the dog for a while, Madam Wang looked at Su Muqing and asked, “Qing Jie’er, you called us over, what do you want to tell us?”
Su Muqing took out a lot of food. “Uncle, please have something to eat to fill your stomachs! Didn’t you just say you were hungry?”
Su Minghui asked nothing and happily took it, stuffing it into his mouth. “What is this? It’s delicious.”
Su Muqing then gave some food to Madam Wang and the others. She then took a deep breath before slowly speaking.
“What I’m about to say, you might find it a bit unbelievable. But I hope you can understand me…”
“I believe ever since I returned, Uncle and Aunt must have seen that I’ve become a bit different. In fact, before, I lied to you…”
Su Cuiping: “What did you lie to us about?”
Madam Wang hit Su Cuiping’s arm, telling her to shut up. “Don’t interrupt, wait for Qing Jie’er to finish.”
“That day I said I was saved by a noble lady, that was a lie.”
“In fact, at that time, I had already one foot in the grave. The one who truly saved me was my master. He is called Ruyi Immortal, a cultivator. He is over three hundred years old this year.”
“He had just returned from traveling elsewhere that day, and sensing my presence as he passed by, he saved me. He said we were fated and took me as his last disciple.”
“Master said this world is too difficult, so he taught me some supernatural abilities and techniques, and also gave me many magical artifacts. These things you are eating are also from another place, transmitted by Master to me.”
“I’m finished, that’s all…”
“Clang…”
As soon as Su Muqing finished speaking, she noticed the things in people’s hands had dropped.
Su Minghui picked up the fallen cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He asked indistinctly, “You said the food I’m eating, *hic*, was given by an immortal?”
Su Muqing nodded guiltily.
Su Minghui ate even more devoutly, even licking his fingers. Madam Wang nudged his arm; he really had no sense of propriety, being a village chief and all…
“Muqing, is what you just said all true?” Su Cuiping asked her tentatively.
Su Muqing: “Yes! It’s all true.”
Su Cuiping: “Then where is your master? And what are these magical artifacts you mentioned?”
“You wouldn’t understand if I told you, so I’ll just show you directly.” After saying that, Su Muqing took out the energy ring and compressed water container given to her by Ding Mo.
Everyone stared at her in astonishment, unable to believe their eyes.
“Uncle, this is a compressed water container specifically for storing water. Don’t underestimate its size; it can hold thousands of缸 (vessels) like those we use in the village. This small box can hold thousands of缸 at once, enough for our entire village to use for a very long time.” Su Muqing said as she opened the box in her hand.
The box was indeed full of water. Su Muqing took out a bowl much larger than the box and poured water into it. The large bowl was already overflowing, yet the water in the box had not decreased at all.
Su Minghui extended his arm towards Madam Wang. “Wife, am I dreaming? Bite me and see if it hurts.”
Madam Wang slapped Su Minghui’s arm away. Then she carefully reached out and took the small box Su Muqing handed over. This was a treasure of the immortals, it must not be treated carelessly!
Su Cuiping: “Then what were you and Leng San Ge sitting on just now?”
Su Muqing: “That’s called an all-terrain vehicle, another type of magical artifact. Master gave it to me as a mount.”
Lin Rongrong looked at Su Muqing with some reluctance. “Mu Mu Jie, then will you become an immortal from now on? Will you leave us?”
“How could that be! Do you think becoming an immortal is that easy? I just have a few magical artifacts to protect myself! Other than that, I’m no different from you all.” Su Muqing flicked Lin Rongrong’s forehead, looking at her with amusement.
Lin Rongrong stuck out her tongue a little sheepishly.
“Girl, was the lightning this morning also done by you?” Madam Wang held the box in both hands. It seemed she truly considered it a divine object and was going to enshrine it.
“Yes, it’s this. This stores electrical current and can release lightning.” Su Muqing flipped her wrist, and an electric current flowed between her palm and fingers.
“Hiss~” Madam Wang and the other two inhaled sharply simultaneously. So it was real. She had truly learned immortal techniques!
The four people in front of them all stared blankly at Su Muqing, as if they hadn’t woken from a dream.
After a long time, Su Minghui seemed to have recovered. “Qing, girl, you said there are thousands of缸 of water in here, is that true?”
The others had already changed the topic, but he alone was still engrossed in the matter of the water box.
