Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Ji Boying spent the whole morning meditating in the quiet room. After refining three furnaces of elixirs in the afternoon, he decided to call it a day.

He stretched lazily, moved his body a bit, and then took out his somewhat withered money pouch. He glanced at it briefly and found only about a hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

It was enough for daily expenses, but if he wanted to buy something else, these spirit stones would be a bit tight.

Ji Boying put away the money pouch and started to list his shopping list in his mind...

Three-star detoxification elixir.

Sword scripture.

Spiritual attack resistance technique.

That's it for now.

Of course, if conditions allowed, Ji Boying also wanted to replace his treasure-level alchemy furnace and buy a few better alchemy techniques.

It's alchemy, not just fire control or pill formation.

Compared to those specializations, alchemy is more systematic.

Although the effect may not be as fast as fire control or pill formation, after systematically learning alchemy, it can make his alchemy more solid and stable!

"It's a long and arduous journey."

Ji Boying smiled bitterly and shook his head, then got up and went home from work.

As usual, he went to a restaurant to pack a meal.

However...

When passing by a spiritual plant shop, Ji Boying hesitated for a moment and bought a few potted plants and some seeds.

Although the courtyard of Yuxia Mountain was nice, it was a bit monotonous. It would be nice to plant some flowers and plants in the courtyard to add some decoration.

Moreover, spiritual plants can produce spiritual energy. Although he didn't need it himself, he could... cough, cough, it's embarrassing, he still didn't know the girl's name.

No matter what, he had to ask today.

After a while, Ji Boying returned to his residence with the packed meal.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the beauty running out of the room.

"Young master..."

"Sorry for coming back late."

Ji Boying apologized.

The beauty shook her head quickly and said softly, "It's... it's okay. The young master can come back anytime."

Ji Boying smiled slightly.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside first!"

"I changed to a different restaurant today and bought some signature dishes. I don't know if you like them."

"Well... if you have anything you want to eat tomorrow, just let me know and I'll buy it for you."

"Of course, if you want to go out, you can, but you have to wait for me to come back. We can go to the night market. Now, almost all the markets in Fulong New City are open all day, and the night market is also lively."

"Well... if you want to go out alone, I don't mind, but your cultivation level is still too low. Although the security in Fulong City is good, it's also mixed. If you accidentally attract attention, it could be troublesome."

The girl followed behind, listening to Ji Boying's rambling in front, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Why is there only one lamp lit?"

As they approached the room, Ji Boying looked at the dimly lit interior and frowned.

"I... I'm afraid of using too much oil."

After hearing Ji Boying's voice, the girl quickly explained in a low voice.

"Too much oil?"

Ji Boying heard this explanation and couldn't help but smile wryly.

But soon, he recalled the most destitute period of his life.

Back then, he seemed reluctant to even light a lamp, right?

Thinking of this, Ji Boying couldn't help but sigh.

He rubbed the girl's head and smiled, "Having the habit of being thrifty is a good thing. You don't have to blame yourself."

"But... there are still places where expenses need to be spent. Saving is one aspect, but increasing income is also important!"

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's eat first!"

Ji Boying neatly placed the food on the table, then pulled out a chair for the girl to sit down. After lighting the other oil lamps in the room until the whole room was bright, he sat down across from the girl.

"How is it? Do you still like these dishes?"

The girl stared at Ji Boying for a moment, hesitated, and then nodded.

Ji Boying chuckled lightly and then put a large piece of meat into the girl's bowl.

"Eat more meat. You're so thin now, you need to replenish your nutrition, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it."

The girl looked at the meat in her bowl, and that strange feeling in her heart became even more apparent.

It seemed like, from the moment she was born until now, even her biological parents had never been this good to her, right?

"Oh right! I still don't know your name yet."

The girl snapped back to reality and saw Ji Boying looking at her with anticipation.

After a pause, the girl timidly said,

"Master... My name is... Xiao Ninger."

"This is the name my mother gave me."

"Xiao Ninger..."

Ji Boying murmured softly and smiled,

"That's a pretty name."

"Let's eat quickly! If we don't, the food will get cold."

Saying that, Ji Boying picked up another piece of meat for Xiao Ninger.

Knowing her name was another breakthrough. Once the other party fully accepted her, she could continue on the path to immortality!

Soon, the table full of food was completely finished.

Of course...

Ji Boying was the main force, while Xiao Ninger just picked at her own bowl. If it weren't for Ji Boying constantly serving her food, she would probably only have those two pieces of meat for dinner.

She was really shy.

But... Ji Boying liked it!

The two sat in the room for a while, but when they ran out of things to say, Ji Boying suggested going out to the night market.

Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate. Just as he proposed the idea, it started snowing heavily. Helpless, Ji Boying had to give up this opportunity to bond through shopping.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ji Boying said to Xiao Ninger,

"It's getting late, you should rest early."

Saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

But... just as Ji Boying was about to completely leave the room and help close the door, Xiao Ninger suddenly spoke up.

"Master!"

"What's wrong?"

"Ninger... Ninger wants you to stay, is that okay?"

After saying that, Xiao Ninger blushed, lowered her head, and dared not look at Ji Boying again.

As for Ji Boying, he stood at the door, completely unaware of the cold wind outside hitting his back. At this moment, he only felt...

Happiness came a bit suddenly!

Ji Boying cleared his throat and forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, gently closing the door.

He walked up to Xiao Ninger, slightly crouched down, and looked at her rosy cheeks, softly saying,

"Of course you can!"

Upon hearing Ji Boying's words, Xiao Ninger's face became even more flushed.

Ji Boying stood up and embraced her, gently stroking her hair.

After a while, he softly said,

"It's getting late, we... should rest."

Xiao Ninger nodded.

In the next moment, Ji Boying lifted her up.

A gust of wind blew, and one oil lamp after another went out.

That night, it snowed heavily outside, and the entire Yuxia Mountain was enveloped in a peaceful silver blanket.

Inside the room, the wind blew gently, and the room was filled with joyful symphony...
