Chapter 707: Karma (The Concubine Arc Conclusion)

in the Cultivation World, there was no such blatant behavior. Before, at least they could release their pressure, but here, if you randomly release your spiritual energy, you will be tracked. If it ca...After a winter passed, the scars on Lian's face had healed seventy percent. This was the result of her day and night tirelessly absorbing spiritual energy and using it all to heal her face. For this reason, she had even interrupted nourishing Huzi's body.

However, Lianyi always follows through with what she starts. She took the time to retrieve some scraps of spiritual essence from space and carved them into thumb-sized jade pendants for the family of four. She had them wear the pendants so that the spiritual energy emanating from the jade could slowly nourish their bodies.

Hui Niang's pendant was a little rabbit, Hu Zi's was a little tiger, Song Dachuan's was a jade plaque of mountains and rivers, and Lian Yi carved one for herself: a drop of water falling into a lake and spreading out in ripples. She waited until the New Year's Eve and found an excuse to give them to them.

"Father, mother, this is what I got from the Fuze Temple in Huangfeng City. A high monk there blessed it, saying it can bring peace and happiness to our whole family. You must keep it close to you at all times, don't take it off, and don't give it away."

Ripple smiled and gave the presents to Huiniang and Song Dachuan. Huzizi already had his on his neck, the cute little tiger was very liked by Huzizi, he kept touching it.

Song Dachuan touched the translucent jade and knew it wasn't cheap. He smiled, put it on his neck, then shoved it into his collar.

"The ripples are what we asked for, Mother Hui, you just wear it, and it'll surely bless us."

"My daughter asked me for this, so I'm definitely keeping it close to me."

Hui Niang touched the small rabbit in her hand and smiled as she put it on.

After a busy Lunar New Year, the family plunged back into spring planting. News from Liangzhou finally started to trickle in.

It was said that the Emperor had sent Yu Junyu, a fourth-rank official from the capital, as an inspector to handle the disaster relief in southern Liangzhou. It is said he beheaded many corrupt officials and ruthless leaders who disregarded the lives of the people, which truly delighted the hearts of the people.

Those merchants who inflated food prices and brought national hardship, the most ruthless leaders among them were arrested and imprisoned, their assets confiscated. The grain they hoarded at home was just in time to be used for relief supplies, stabilizing the hearts of the people in Liangzhou.

Only after these measures were taken was the ever-growing exodus of refugees halted. Those who received relief grain and money returned to their homes in droves. After spring arrived, they borrowed seeds to plant their fields, then the whole family would go up and down mountains and rivers searching for food, determined to somehow make it through until harvest time.

These things were also because someone knew that their family was from Liangzhou, so they told them. Only Song Dachuan asked Lianyi a question:

"That imperial commissioner also surnamed Yu. I wonder if he's related to the scholar you saved"

"Wouldn't that be a coincidence!"

With a ripple of pretense, she definitely couldn't tell her own family that the Jade Inspector was actually the scholar who she had saved.

After the busy spring planting was over, Tiger turned five years old. He had made new friends in Shallow Water Village and played happily every day, as if he wanted to catch up on all the games he hadn't played before.

Song Dachuan's house construction was also put on the agenda immediately. Hui Niang's family all came to help, and in addition to hiring villagers from Qianshui Village with building experience, a siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) was completed within three months. After all, the Song family had a simple population structure. Even if Tiger became married in the future, they would be able to live comfortably, so it wasn't built too complexly.

After the autumn harvest, Song Dachuan's family officially moved from Zhangjia's courtyard to their new home, beginning a new life of their own.

After Zhang's family had settled in Qian Shui Village, he sent all his children to Huang Fengcheng's private school. He didn't expect them to become top scholars, just that they could learn a few characters and some basic arithmetic.

After Tiger was six years old, Song Dachuan also sent his younger son to a private school. Don't look at Tiger's young age, under Lianyi's guidance, he had already finished studying "San Zi Jing", "Bai Jia Xing" and "Qian Zi Wen". Although the characters he wrote were very immature, they were very liked by the private school teachers and were accepted as a closed-door disciple.

Ripple saw that the task was almost complete, so she called for Stone Mill.

"Asker, what is your need"

"Ask the original soul, if they are willing to come back and finish their own remaining life. I've already paved the way here."

"Okay, I'll go ask."

Liàn Yī was leaving her original body one night. As she passed by the soul of her original self, she sent a surge of power into the other's body, ensuring that even after she left, the other would have enough strength to deal with anyone who might be malicious. This was mainly because the persona she had created could not collapse.

When Ripples returned to the Time Management Bureau, Shiju had already started distributing the power they had acquired this time and then began telling her about what happened after she left:

The year after the original body returned, Hui Niang became pregnant again, this time giving birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, which made Song Dachuan overjoyed!

Hui Niang believed that it was you who had asked the jade talisman to protect her, and after she gave birth, she specially went to the Fu Ze Temple in Huang Feng City to fulfill her vow.

Huang Fengcheng met Feng Xiaoqi again, and the two immediately fell for each other. The original owner married him, and in the second year of their marriage, she became pregnant with twins—two identical sons. Feng Kun was so overjoyed that he didn't know what to do.

And soon after his son was born, he was promoted, feeling even more that the original body brought him good fortune, and he treated the original body with increasing kindness.

As for Dong Qinglian, her situation was far more tragic. Unable to bear children, she could only watch as her husband brought in concubines one after another. She dared not utter a word of complaint. However, those concubines rarely had smooth deliveries even when they became pregnant, and even if they did give birth, the babies were often deformed.

So the husband felt she was stirring up trouble, and even resorted to violence against her. Her mother-in-law also spoke harshly to her, sarcastically calling her a hen that doesn't lay eggs. She was merciless in her insults.

She finally mustered up her courage and, using her lack of prospects as an excuse, filed for divorce. She took her dowry back to Wángshān Town.

Master Yao thought he had gotten rid of a poisonous woman, but in the end, he didn't even have a child. It was only then that the mother and son realized the problem wasn't with Dong Qinglian. They searched for famous doctors everywhere, and finally, a retired chief physician from the Imperial Hospital told them that Master Yao himself had a defect, so he would almost never have children. Only then did the two of them realize the truth.

The real master of the Yao family, under the support of his grandfather, passed the imperial examinations with flying colors, becoming a top scholar and marrying and having children. He secured an official position outside the capital and moved there with his wife. In three years, they had two children, and in seven years, they had five children – four sons and one daughter. By the time he returned to Kyoto after completing his duties, he already had a large family.

"Master Yao directly passed his title to his own son, then set off traveling with his wife. He lived five years longer than in his previous life before passing away peacefully."

The mission was completed very smoothly, but the merit wasn't much.

The stone mill added one last sentence.

"Don't be too greedy, it's impossible to have merit every time."

"I know, just telling you."

Shiju's phoenix eyes narrowed, then tapped the screen before him, and continued:

"There's an advanced joint mission opening up, the task location is the Cultivation Realm. I've already registered you, get ready. Once I secure this mission for you, I'll let you know." right-hand man. You're powerful but he's suppressing you, and you even want to get rid of him after using him. So I killed him for you."Her eyebrows rose slightly at the corners, and she smiled sweet...
