The little Taoist boy quickly came out with the medicine. Kang Runyue took the medicine but was not in a hurry to leave.

The old Taoist saw that she seemed to have something to say to Xu Yao, so he asked the two of them to eat outside so as not to disturb his peace.

Xu Yao put the things back into the basket, took Kang Runyue's hand, and the two of them left the yard.

There is a pavilion on the mountain behind the Taoist temple. There are tables and chairs in the pavilion for pilgrims to rest.

There was no one there at the moment, so the two of them entered the pavilion. Kang Runyue arranged the things and considerately handed Xu Yao a pair of chopsticks.

Xu Yao doesn't like drinking. In the town at the foot of the mountain, there is a shop that makes peach blossom juice that tastes very good.

Every time Kang Runyue came, she would bring some to her.

Kang Runyue was very envious when she saw her eating braised meat and drinking fruit syrup.

"Sister, you are so happy and carefree. I wish I could be like you."

Hearing this, Xu Yao paused and said, "What? Are you in trouble?"

Kang Runyue sighed, "It's not a difficult thing. I'm just old and my family is anxious for me to get married."

Back then, in the mountain village outside Guiyan City, Kang Runyue followed his relatives to Beichen, but they encountered robbers on the way and were almost humiliated by them.

Fortunately, Xu Yao appeared in time, killed the Beichen soldiers disguised as robbers, and rescued all the victims.

Of course, Xu Yao not only saved people, but also gave them silver so that these people could return home safely.

Especially for these ordinary girls, if they don't have relatives to help them, they always need money to live a stable life. They even found a reliable escort to escort them back.

Kang Runyue was lucky and her relatives were rescued.

After leaving Guiyan City, he went to Beichen to look for his parents who were doing business at home.

Xu Yao never expected that when she fell from the cliff and was washed downstream by the river, she would be rescued by Kang Runyue.

She was unconscious for a long time at that time. After waking up for a while, she was in a trance and unable to speak. She didn't know who she was. If Kang Runyue hadn't recognized her and insisted on taking her with him, she would probably have fallen into the hands of human traffickers and been sold to an unknown place.

Kang Runyue always said that it was Xu Yao who saved her and even her relatives, and that no matter how she repays him, it would not be too much.

Xu Yao felt that Kang Runyue had saved him once, and he no longer owed him anything. Instead, under Kang Runyue's cover, he followed the caravan out of Beichen and arrived at Dingnan Bashan.

She was seriously injured at the time. If it weren't for Kang Runyue's care, and if she hadn't met the white-bearded old man who had been harassing her on the boat later, Xu Yao would have died of a high fever.

It was said that this old man with white beard was the person Xu Yao had seen several times in illusions.

When rescuing Xu Yao, the old man told her that his real identity was the Immortal of the South China Sea.

Xu Yao said that he was quite arrogant to give himself such a name.

The old man didn't take it seriously, saying that the name was not given by himself but by others.

Xu Yao didn't know whether it was true or not, and was too lazy to argue. The old man was still working tirelessly, trying to trick Xu Yao into practicing with him.

Xu Yao only asked one question, which was whether one could eat meat while practicing Taoism?

She can't stand the pain of not being able to eat meat. She is a carnivore and can't give it up.

The old man said, "Not only can it help you cultivate your Dao, but it can also heal your injuries and restore you to your original state."

Xu Yao followed the Immortal of the South China Sea in a daze, and went to Dingnan, and then to Bashan County, where he lived in this Taoist temple for five years.

During the past five years, she had let herself go. Apart from exercising according to the old man's instructions and repairing her badly injured body bit by bit, she would never stand unless she could lie down.

He was either hanging on a tree to bask in the sun, or eating melon seeds under the eaves while listening to the wind and watching the rain, or going to the mountains to hunt some game. It can be said that except for the pain in his body, Xu Yao had lived a stable and stress-free life for five years.

This was a free and easy life that she had never experienced in the end times, in the Liu family, or even in Beichen.

She really enjoyed her current state, free of desires and calm.

If the old man hadn't always been nagging in her ears about practicing Taoism, she would have felt that this day was perfect.

Now, when he heard Kang Runyue say that she was going to get married, he couldn't help but sit up. It seems that no one in the past and present can escape the urging of marriage.

She smiled and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"

Kang Runyue shook her head and asked her instead: "Sister, do we women have to get married?"

Xu Yao shook his head: "Not really, who says women have to get married. If a woman is capable, it's not bad to live alone for the rest of her life. After all, everyone is just a pile of dirt and bones after death. The underworld you worry about, where no one will offer incense to you after death, and you will become a lonely ghost and be bullied by others, is a joke. When a person dies, he is dead. Either he is reincarnated or his soul is scattered. Anyway, it is impossible for him to stay in the so-called netherworld."

She is a person who has actually died and knows everything about this.

Kang Runyue believed her words without a doubt, but Xu Yao changed his tone. "I just want to say that it is not necessarily impossible for a woman not to marry, but the premise is that you will never meet someone you want to spend your life with, then there is nothing you can do. But if you are lucky enough to meet a man who can spend your life with you, who makes you happy, responsible and responsible, then you don't have to be disgusted with marriage."

Kang Runyue smiled and understood what she meant.

"My family has arranged a marriage for me, and I have met the man. His family is a pastry chef, and I have secretly inquired about him. He has a kind and gentle personality, is reliable, looks decent, and his family is also friendly. Although not everyone says that his family is good, I have secretly asked someone to inquire about him, and he is really a kind and good person."

"In that case, what are you afraid of?"

Kang Runyue thought for a moment, "No one here knows about my experiences in Ghost Eye City. But I am always afraid that if news comes one day, he will know about my past. Will he resent me for losing my virginity before marriage and humiliating him?"

Xu Yao really wanted to say that a woman’s chastity was not in the law, but this era was different from her era.

She couldn't just fool an ordinary woman into spending her whole life resisting the rules of the entire society.

Since you can't do it, don't encourage her. That will hurt others, not help her.

"I remember your chastity seal is still there?"

Kang Runyue nodded.

"Since the chastity seal is still there, you are chaste. As for the things you are worried about, all the robbers are dead. There is no evidence. Who can prove that you have ever suffered such humiliation? Those women who were injured with you, will they suddenly jump out and expose you, making you restless?"

That is something that hurts others and does not benefit yourself, and few people would do that.

As for Xu Yao, it was even more impossible for her to open her mouth. Of course she could save Kang Runyue and would not ruin her today.

Kang Runyue was worried. "But my conscience would be uneasy. I always feel that if I conceal it like this, what if... what if someone really jumps out and says something, it would be unfair to him."

Xu Yao smiled and calmed her down: "Since ancient times, if you catch a thief, you should seize the stolen goods; if you catch an adulterer, you should seize his couple. If someone accuses you of this, you must ask her to produce evidence, and don't fall into the trap of self-incrimination."
