After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 612 Ayou, Let's Get Married

"Giggle!"

"Kick-kick! Kick-kick!"

"Don't run!"

"stop!"

"Stop right there! Don't...don't run away!"

In the mortal realm, at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, in a farmhouse nestled by the water, a young girl, dressed in a long robe and with disheveled hair, chased three chickens all over the yard, scattering chicken feathers everywhere, some even sticking directly to the girl's dark hair.

The girl's face was flushed, and a thin layer of sweat was visible on her forehead. She stood with her hands on her back, helplessly facing the chickens running around the yard.

After finishing gathering several bundles of firewood, the boy pushed open the courtyard gate and saw that his all-powerful senior sister was helpless against the chickens in the yard, and could only stand there angrily. He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

The louder he laughed, the more uncontrollable it became. In the end, he even half-fell to the ground, leaning on the firewood he had brought back, laughing so hard that his stomach was cramping.

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Liqian got annoyed, ran over, and pinched half of his face hard, zooming in on his features: "Xu Youan, are you mocking me? I'm your senior sister!!!"

Seeing such a stunningly beautiful face so close, almost nose to nose, Xu Youan's heart suddenly started pounding wildly, his face turned bright red, and he dared not look at her anymore.

Amidst the cool, pine-snowy scent, he stammered and begged for mercy.

"I...I dare not do it again."

"Senior sister, dear senior sister, please spare me..."

"I really won't dare to do it again!"

Jiang Liqian crossed her arms and snorted coldly, arrogantly raising her chin and pointing at the flock of chickens clucking in the yard: "Go, catch one, and today I'll show you your senior sister's chicken soup-making skills!"

Xu Youan lay on the pile of firewood, looking up at her senior sister, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering.

"Senior sister," he said with a sly glint in his eyes, "have you ever cooked?"

"Hey, you little brat!" Jiang Liqian's face changed, and she angrily prepared to roll up her sleeves and beat him up. "What did you say!"

Xu Youan immediately raised her hands in surrender, her eyes pleading, "I was wrong, Senior Sister."

"Then hurry up and catch a chicken!"

"Yes, I will obey Senior Sister's orders!"

Xu Youan obediently went to catch the chickens running around in the yard, but he was obviously more resourceful than Jiang Liqian. With quick eyes and hands, he reached out and grabbed a chicken's big wing, and no matter how much it flapped, it couldn't escape from his grasp.

“Senior sister,” Xu Youan turned around, raising an eyebrow with a smile, “Do you want me to help you pluck the hairs?”

Jiang Liqian gritted her teeth and pursed her lips.

Oh, who do you think you are!

An hour later.

On the riverbank, beside the stubborn rocks.

Jiang Liqian squatted there dejectedly, her head covered in chicken feathers, glaring angrily at the chicken that Xu Youan was dealing with.

Damn it, she'll stew it in all sorts of ways, for a full forty-nine hours!

"Let's go, senior sister." Xu Youan picked up the cleaned chicken, her voice rising slightly at the end, and called to Jiang Liqian to go home with high spirits.

Jiang Li gave a soft hum, stood up, and followed him.

"Senior sister, how are you going to stew this chicken?"

"Peel first, then cook!"

"So violent?"

"Would you like to try some?"

"Senior sister, are you willing to do that?"

"Of course I'm willing to!"

"If my senior sister is the other way around... then do whatever you want with her, senior sister!"

Jiang Liqian paused, momentarily stunned, but from Xu Youan's teasing tone, she quickly understood what this little brat was talking about.

Her cheeks flushed bright red, and Jiang Liqian reached out and pinched his ear hard, forcing a smile: "Come on, say what you just said to your senior sister again!"

Xu Youan immediately put on a pitiful look and begged for forgiveness repeatedly: "Senior sister, I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I...I shouldn't have said such disrespectful things to my senior sister..."

How could he possibly have the right to covet his senior sister?

The difference between heaven and earth is like that between mismatched hairpins; he should be content with his life now.

Jiang Liqian noticed his sudden look of disappointment and paused slightly. They returned to the farmhouse in silence. She took the chicken from Xu Youan's hands without a word and went to the kitchen, closing the kitchen door in front of him.

He was isolated from everything.

For a fleeting moment, Xu Youan felt as if he had lost his senior sister. From this day forward, they would never meet again, not even in the netherworld or the vast ocean.

He longed to break down the door, rush in, embrace her with all his might, and tell her everything he felt—his heartfelt emotions, his grievances, his fears.

However, he ultimately did not.

However, this door has always stood firmly, without ever wavering.

Xu Youan didn't go anywhere; he stood outside the kitchen door until dawn. When the sky was filled with rosy clouds and the jade pendants swayed slightly through the light, he suddenly realized that he had been waiting for his senior sister for a very, very long time.

It's really too long.

"Senior sister..." he couldn't help but murmur.

The door creaked open, and a girl in a pink dress came out carrying a full bowl of hot soup. Hearing the boy call her, she hummed in response, then asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Xu Youan looked up in surprise: "Senior Sister..."

Why do you keep calling her?

Jiang Liqian frowned slightly, then smiled knowingly: "Hungry? Can't wait to try my cooking?"

She looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Ah!"

I didn't feel anything inside, but when I came out I realized it was almost dark. I didn't expect her to take so long to simmer a chicken soup; no wonder my junior brother was getting impatient.

She quickly pushed the soup in front of Xu Youan, urging him to pour himself a bowl and try it to see if it tasted good.

Xu Youan lowered her eyes, her well-defined fingers holding a porcelain spoon, and filled her bowl to the brim.

The rich aroma of chicken soup wafts through the air, making one's mouth water. The savory broth, coated with oil, subtly reveals the tender chicken meat underneath. Surprisingly, it's not only fragrant but also looks delicious.

He took a big, careful bite, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"It smells like a wood spirit fruit!"

But there are no Wood Spirit Fruits in the mortal realm, are there?

Jiang Li blinked and patted his shoulder triumphantly: "Not bad, very perceptive!"

She took a small sachet from her waist and handed it to Xu Youan: "The seasoning my senior brother gave me earlier was a gift from a senior sister on Taotie Peak to thank him for helping to deliver it. He didn't need it, so he gave it to me. I thought I'd try using it to make chicken soup, and it turned out to be really good!"

Xu Youan arched her eyebrows and smiled as well.

He said, "Yes, it's really delicious."

Laughing, laughing, a tear unexpectedly fell into the still steaming hot soup.

Jiang Liqian was stunned.

Xu Youan himself was stunned.

He hurriedly tried to wipe away his tears, but Jiang Liqian grabbed his hand.

"...Senior Sister?"

"Ayou, let's get married!"

Xu Youan stopped, slowly opened his eyes wide, and stared in disbelief at the stunningly beautiful girl with flowers in her hair.

It took him a long, long time before he heard his own choked sobs.

"Senior sister, don't lie to me..."

Don't lie to me, senior sister.
