After we got married, I relied on my cheap husband to get promoted.

"What's in front of you? Is the immortal descending to earth?" Suddenly someone pointed at the sky and shouted.

Everyone looked over, and Cheng Jiuge also stopped thinking and turned around to look. He saw beautiful buildings and jade buildings in the distance in the sky, and even a staircase leading to the sky.

Cheng Jiuge was about to say that it was just a mirage, but Zhong Lixiu said it: "A mirage is a natural phenomenon, not an immortal."

Cheng Jiuge looked at him, but he didn't expect that he actually knew.

Although everyone feels a little sorry to hear that they are not immortals, they also find it quite shocking.

"I wonder if there will be a ladder for me to ascend in the future. If it's like this, I think it's pretty good." One person fantasized.

"You really have a beautiful idea. With how little cultivation you have, have you already thought about ascending?" Another person broke his fantasy.

"People always have to have hope."

"makes sense."

Everyone admired the mirage for a while, and then everyone went about their own business. Some went back to their rooms to rest, and some went to play chess. Yes, now everyone on the ship except Zhong Lixiu can play backgammon.

After a while, it got dark.

Zhong Lixiu still stayed at the bow of the boat, as if he wanted to stay there forever.

Cheng Jiuge returned to the room, and she quickly lay on the bed and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, Cheng Jiuge woke up immediately when a rumbling thunderstorm sounded. She sat up and looked outside. Zhong Lixiu was sitting outside, unmoving despite the wind and rain.

Cheng Jiuge: "...This guy must think that wind and rain are nothing. This is also a way of cultivation."

Although she said this, she still walked out with an umbrella. She found that this man had not even opened his aura mask. She could clearly see water droplets hanging on his long eyelashes.

Hearing the sound, Zhong Lixiu opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Jiuge in confusion.

Cheng Jiuge pointed inside and asked him to go in.

Zhong Lixiu: "This is..."

Cheng Jiuge: "Stop talking. I know this is also one of the ways of cultivation. Listen to me and go in. Meditation is also cultivation. Go back to your room and meditate."

Zhong Lixiu wanted to say something else, but Cheng Jiuge interrupted him again: "Didn't anyone tell you to listen to your Taoist companion? Come on, I'm telling you now, you have to listen to me."

Zhong Lixiu: "..." Although he doesn't know much about people who have Taoist companions, he is not a fool.

Cheng Jiuge squatted down and said, "Let's play chess. The outcome will be decided in one game. We will use the backgammon that we have just learned. Now I will tell you the rules. Whoever connects five pieces first wins. It doesn't matter horizontally or vertically." Can."

Cheng Jiuge drew a chessboard casually and started to put a stone on it. Zhong Lixiu took a look at it, took out the spirit stone and put it on it.

Cheng Jiuge: ...Oh, it’s really great to be rich. Well, it’s great to be rich. You said you could just use low-grade spiritual stones, but you still use top-grade spiritual stones?

Cheng Jiuge put down another stone with an expressionless face.

For two minutes, Cheng Jiuge couldn't believe it, she actually lost! ! !

"Have you really never played before?"

Zhong Lixiu: "No."

Cheng Jiuge: "I don't believe it!"

Zhong Lixiu glanced at her and said nothing, but Cheng Jiuge understood. She thought he was showing off!

Cheng Jiuge: "I just thought that whoever wins will go in. You go in. If I lose, I will stay here to guard."

Zhong Lixiu: "..." He remembered that she had not said such words just now.

Cheng Jiuge looked at him with wide eyes, "Are you going in? It just so happened that I almost forgot to practice tonight, so I just kept watching and practiced. Go ahead."

Cheng Jiuge directly pulled the person up and pushed Zhong Lixiu inside. Zhong Lixiu hesitated for a moment and listened to her words before entering the cabin. Xing Yue in the corner said: "Wow, my wife is so kind to my uncle. I feel sorry for him, so I let him in."

Liu Jin: "My uncle is really obedient. He should accompany my wife."

Xing Yue: "I think it makes sense when I say that."

Cheng Jiuge: "...Come out. Now that you're awake, we'll stay together for the night."

Xing Yue and Liu Jin immediately shut up, Cheng Jiuge said: "Xing Yue's nephew, Liu Jin's nephew."

The two of them immediately came out of the darkness, "Hey, hey, mistress, we didn't eavesdrop on purpose."

Cheng Jiuge turned around and said, "Just in time, let's play backgammon together." She didn't believe it. She actually lost to Zhong Lixiu in two minutes!

The three of them played for most of the night, and the rain finally stopped. When Li Xiu walked out of the cabin early in the morning, the three of them were lying on the deck, fast asleep.

When Zhong Lixiu came out and saw it, he looked helpless: "..."

When Cheng Jiuge woke up, she saw Zhong Lixiu standing next to her. It was already dawn and the sun was out.

Cheng Jiuge rubbed his eyes, "Ha~ Good morning."

Zhong Lixiu: "The food is on the table in the room."

Cheng Jiuge rubbed his neck, "Then I'll go wash up first." She walked into the room and washed up, then started eating breakfast. A box of delicate pastries was still steaming, but she was a little choked.

Cheng Jiuge suspected that Zhong Lixiu had put countless pastries in his storage bag. Every time he took out pastries, they seemed to be for her, so she wouldn't complain.

After staying on the spirit boat for three days and three nights, they finally arrived outside Xihai City. Entering Xihai City, you could not wield a sword or use the spirit boat, so the spirit boat stopped directly outside the city.

After putting everything into the storage bag, the group handed over the spirit stones and entered Xihai City. Recently, because the 5,000th birthday of the Lord of Xihai City was approaching, the entire Xihai City was very busy.

After Cheng Jiuge inquired about the location of the City Lord's Mansion in Xihai City, he took the people to the City Lord's Mansion.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, the City Lord's Mansion was crowded with many people coming to visit.

When the butler who was waiting at the door to greet guests saw Zhong Lixiu and his entourage, his eyes lit up and he ran over, "Is he the eldest young master?" Then he turned back and said to the young man, "Go and tell the master that the eldest young master is back."

Zhong Lixiu: "I am Zhong Lixiu of Wuji Sword Sect."

Butler: "Eldest Young Master, I am the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone calls me Uncle Li. The City Lord already knew that the Eldest Young Master was coming back and specifically asked me to guard the door. Eldest Young Master, you are finally back. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly. Please come in."

"You are disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect, right? As expected, you are all the best among men. Please come in, please come in, please come in quickly."

Cheng Jiuge watched from the side. The housekeeper looked very enthusiastic at present, but he didn't know what her cheap father-in-law was like.

The group of people followed the housekeeper into the city lord's mansion. In the living room, the city lord Zhongli or his later wife Yinni were already waiting.

Both of them looked ahead with their heads raised.

When Zhong Lixiu followed the housekeeper in, an uncle immediately stood up and walked over, "Xiu'er, it's Xiu'er!" He said and went to shake Zhong Lixiu's hand.

But Zhong Lixiu took a step back, "I, Zhong Lixiu of the Wuji Sword Sect, have met the city lord."

The uncle was momentarily embarrassed.

In order to avoid his embarrassment, Cheng Jiuge immediately stepped forward: "I, Cheng Jiuge, of the Wuji Sword Sect, have met the Lord of the City and congratulate the Lord of the City on his birthday in advance."

When the uncle heard this, he immediately looked at her, looked her over, frowned and said, "Are you my Xiu'er's Taoist companion Cheng Jiuge?"

Cheng Jiuge: ...What is that look in your eyes? (End of chapter)
