Cultivation through Skin Making

Chapter 286: 156. Racing Against Time Coincidentally Meeting an Old Friend (8.2K Words - Large Chapter Please Subscribe)


The abandoned Wu Land, now the frontline confronting the Mountain and Sea Demon Country, bandit camp...

Song Yan looked around, found a horse, helped the beautiful woman mount, and then asked, "Sister-in-law, what are your plans from now on?"

The beautiful woman's gaze swept over the blood-stained bandit camp.

With the great vengeance repaid, she felt a bit lost inside.

She couldn't help but lower her head to look at her brother, asking, "Xiao Han, I don't know either."

Song Yan said, "The hearts of people in the Cultivation Realm are unpredictable; it's not the extraordinary and transcendental place Sister-in-law imagined. If I take Sister-in-law to the Mo Sword Sect, one wrong move could drag Sister-in-law into an endless abyss."

The beautiful woman lightly nodded. After this event, she naturally understood the ruthlessness of cultivators. If she went to the Mo Sword Sect, her own life would be in danger, and she might become a burden to Xiao Han.

Song Yan suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, let me make the arrangements."

The beautiful woman was taken aback, looking at the boy she raised, seeing the blood behind him, the rolling heads, she realized that he had grown up.

She lightly nodded.

Song Yan found a straw hat to cover his face, skillfully emptied the bandits' gold and silver, then finger-controlled the sword, taking the beautiful woman with him, heading south on a ray of sword light.

...

Several days later.

The southern major city, the capital where the "South-stabilizing Marquis" among the nine marquises resides...

On a street not considered prosperous, yet far from desolate.

An estate agent was excitedly introducing, "Immortal elder, rest assured, our Forest Sea City is famous for its safety.

I'm not boasting, but everyone in this area is thinking of settling in our Forest Sea City.

But this is quite rare, only a few succeed each year.

Fortunately, you're an Immortal, and the South-stabilizing Marquis has a provision allowing Immortal families to move in at any time, making it much easier.

Take a look at this house, what do you think?"

Song Han glanced around, looked at the beautiful woman, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

The beautiful woman lightly nodded, saying, "It's very nice."

She was genuinely satisfied.

Forest Sea City is a pure land in everyone's heart.

She also knew how difficult it was to settle in such a place.

This was all because of Xiao Han's involvement; otherwise, it would have been impossible.

She had some skills in tailoring clothes, and there happened to be a "Brocade and Silk Clothing Shop" nearby, maybe she could give it a try. If noticed, she could start a new life here.

Seeing the beautiful woman's satisfaction, Song Yan tossed the money to the agent, bought the house, and then bought two maids, handing over the property deed and maid contracts to the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman grabbed the contract, surprised, asking, "Xiao Han, you bought it, why didn't you write your name? And... why do I... need maids?"

Song Yan smiled, "This is Sister-in-law's home. Sister-in-law will live here in the future, naturally needing someone to take care of her."

The beautiful woman couldn't help but laugh, "Why do I need maids? I... I'll be busy here, waiting for Xiao Han to come back."

Song Yan smiled slightly, had a meal at home, and then prepared to leave.

In the twilight, the beautiful woman stood in the small courtyard, bidding farewell to her brother.

Song Yan looked at her, softly said, "Sister-in-law is still young. If my brother were here, he wouldn't want you to live alone and lonely for the rest of your life."

The beautiful woman smiled sadly, "I've been with your brother for nearly ten years, where could there be room for anyone else in my heart?

Xiao Han, don't worry about it, just go...

Your senior brother's matter, don't be reckless. Just stay safe, and I'll be satisfied."

Song Yan nodded gently, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law, there's one more thing you must remember."

The beautiful woman said, "Xiao Han, tell me, I will keep it a secret."

Song Yan said, "Others only need to know you have an Immortal brother; you must never tell anyone my name."

The beautiful woman blinked, not quite understanding.

Song Yan said seriously, "Sister-in-law, remember it well, never forget."

Though puzzled, the beautiful woman nodded affirmatively.

Only then did Song Yan use Sword Control and Rainbow Transformation to break through the sky and leave.

The beautiful woman returned to the house, with maids busy front and back in the courtyard, but a faint sense of loneliness lingered in her heart, the emptiness after the great vengeance was complete enveloping her...

It was the transition from autumn to winter, the weather warming yet still cold, the hardest time to adjust.

She was still young, with a long life ahead, yet at the moment didn't know how to spend it.

Xiao Han had grown up and didn't need her anymore.

She sighed softly, took a deep breath, and mustered some strength, for life still had to go on.

That evening, she went to bed early, but soon fell asleep without knowing why. In her dream, she successfully joined the Brocade and Silk Trading Company and gradually fell in love with the shopkeeper...

She couldn't accept this affection, unable to betray her deceased husband.

The shopkeeper, though filled with love, couldn't force it, so he married another woman.

But ten, twenty, thirty years passed...

The shopkeeper's wife passed away due to illness, and he never remarried.

Another twenty years passed, they both had grown white hair. Reuniting, they gazed at each other, with countless words unsaid. The shopkeeper gently asked, "In this life, you wouldn't marry me; in the next life...be with me, alright?"

The now elderly beautiful woman nodded.

They held each other's hands tightly, lamenting the lack of time left in their lives.

...

Cock-a-doodle-doo~~

The crowing of a rooster woke the beautiful woman.

She slowly opened her eyes, recalling the strange and detailed dream from last night, gently shaking her head.

She quickly got up, washed, and upon exiting the courtyard saw the Brocade and Silk Trading Company not far away, hesitated slightly, but walked over.

Just entering the company, she saw the shopkeeper rushing out from the inner courtyard.
