The little apprentice sister is extremely talented, but she is not virtuous.

The moonlight is hazy and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

"Hoo~" A ragged little boy fled in panic in the woods.

He was looking back while running, as if something scary was chasing him.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped, leaned against a big tree, and panted heavily: "Damn it! I just ate two of your eggs, is it necessary to chase you so closely?"

The little boy's name was Zhai Lei. Two years ago, he was sold to a brothel in a nearby town to be a servant by his lazy father and his new vicious stepmother.

Just a few days after he arrived, a drunk fat guy, in order to make himself felt, insisted that he crawl under his crotch before he would let him go.

In a rage, Zhai Lei was so angry that he raised his head and showed a harmless smile: "Can I start from the back?"

"can."

After getting the permission, he came behind the man and quietly took out a wooden stick for self-defense from his arms.

He sharpened one end of the wooden stick into a very sharp point.

He easily pierced the man's pants, causing him to burst into blood on the spot, with blood flowing all over the ground.

Perhaps it was God's help, as there happened to be a fire upstairs, and in the chaos he escaped from the brothel and hid in the mountains.

They had to compete with wild beasts for food all day long and lived a life of hunger.

Today, just because I took out two snake eggs to satisfy my hunger, I was chased halfway across the mountain by a giant snake and nearly lost my life.

"I'm so hungry!" Zhai Lei leaned on a wooden stick and searched for food in the dark forest.

I had just climbed up a tree to pick some wild fruits when I saw a fire coming from the foot of the mountain.

"Damn it, are they coming to find me?" Zhai Lei was shocked. He quickly hid the two fruits in his arms and found a secluded place to hide.

Soon, he realized that he was overthinking.

Those people were heading towards the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.

"Strange, what are you doing there in the middle of the night?" Zhai Lei frowned, and driven by curiosity, he followed stealthily.

They were too far away, so he only saw the two idiots throwing something into the Snake Cave and then walking away.

"What is it that needs to be thrown so far?"

After making sure that the other party had gone far away, Zhai Lei ran towards the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave at a high speed.

When he saw clearly what was being bitten by the poisonous snake, he froze in place.

It turned out to be a little girl covered in blood and unrecognizable!

What did she do?

To treat her like this?

Looking at the girl still struggling in the snake pit, I just felt a sudden pain in my heart for no reason.

We are of similar age, why does she have to go through all this pain?

"I thought I was already very unfortunate, but I didn't expect that you are more pitiful than me! Alas~ Anyway, I have only one life left, so it doesn't matter..." Zhai Lei jumped into the snake pit.

"Get out! Get out of here! Don't come over here!" He desperately pulled the poisonous snake off the girl's body and carried her out of the snake pit.

At this moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

It fell on my body and was freezing cold.

"God, you are blind! There should be a limit to bullying people, right? Sooner or later, someone will chop you to pieces! - A-choo!"

While yelling and cursing, Zhai Lei shivered as he took off his dirty clothes and wrapped them tightly around the girl.

"Um~Um..." The girl seemed to want to say something but couldn't. Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

“Don’t cry! We must be strong and live well!” Zhai Lei said as he reached out to wipe away her tears. “Only by living can we make those who bully and harm us pay the price!”

"...My mother said that nothing in this world is more important than being alive! From now on, I will depend on you for my life."

"Hmm~" A trace of black blood flowed out of the corner of the girl's mouth and she fainted.

Zhai Lei was startled. He shook her arm and shouted, "Hey! Hold on. I... I'll take you to find a doctor right now. I know there's a miracle doctor living in the Snow Mountain. He's a very good doctor! I'll take you there right now."

After saying that, he carried the unconscious girl on his back and headed towards the snowy mountains.

Snow is getting bigger and bigger.

In the ice and snow, a thin figure was walking with difficulty, carrying a person of similar age on his back.

Every few steps he would fall, then get up without a word and continue walking.

As he walked, he muttered to himself:

"My name is Zhai Lei. I heard that on the day I was born, several bolts of lightning struck my home to pieces. Except for my mother, everyone believed that I was an unlucky person and was unwilling to have any contact with me."

"Unfortunately, my mother died when I was three years old, and my father married a woman who was as fat as a pig as my stepmother. I heard that the villagers called her Pig Woman behind her back..."

"The sow hag was not kind to me at all, and neither was my father. They colluded with each other to beat me, scold me, and not give me food to eat! Humph, I peed in the rice jar and threw snakes into their house in the middle of the night. If they have a hard time, no one will have a hard time!"

"...Later, my family was really struggling to make ends meet, so they simply kidnapped me and sold me to a brothel as a servant. There wasn't a single good person there, so I found a chance to escape and hid in this mountain."

……

"Haha, this mountain is so much fun! There is a kind of fruit that is particularly delicious. When you get better, I will take you to pick it! Hey~ Look, it should be there! Hang in there, we are almost there..."

They walked for three days and three nights, and Zhai Lei hardly stopped talking.

It's very strange, if it were any other time, he would have collapsed long ago.

This time I was carrying someone on my back, but I felt like I had endless power.

“Divine doctor, please save her!” Zhai Lei shouted while banging hard on the broken door outside the thatched cottage.

After beating for two hours, his hands were swollen, and finally a sigh came from inside: "Alas! Her bloodline was taken away, her spiritual roots were damaged, and she was poisoned... Go back, there is no hope for her."

"No! There is hope, there must be hope! Miracle Doctor, you are so powerful, you can definitely save her! Please save her, I am willing to pay any price!"

As he spoke, Zhai Lei gritted his teeth and knelt down in the snow.

The girl saw all this and felt pain in her heart.

She didn't know why this little brother, whom she had never met before, was so nice to her. How could she deserve him to do so?

[Wow... stop kneeling! I feel bad for you!]

……

The night passed.

The broken door outside the thatched cottage slowly opened.

An old man with white hair and beard appeared and looked at the boy in front of him who was almost buried by the snow, and the girl he had placed under the eaves to avoid the snow.

Youyou sighed, "You are quite stubborn, okay! I will make an exception today and take action once. As for whether I can save her, it depends on her fate."

"Thank...thank you." After saying that, Zhai Lei fell down with a thud.

When he woke up again, he was lying on a simple bed.

"Poor little thing... where is the poor little thing?" He screamed and climbed up from the bed, just in time to bump into an old man who pushed the door open.

He was knocked to the ground due to long-term malnutrition. He didn't care about the pain and asked, "Godly doctor, how is she?"

The old man shook his head: "Although his life is saved, the situation is still a bit bad."

Hearing this, Zhai Lei's eyes flashed with joy: "Then can I go see her?"

"Okay, but... before that, I have a question for you, and you have to answer it truthfully."

Zhai Lei nodded repeatedly: "You ask."

"Who is she to you? Is she worthy of you doing this for her?" As he spoke, the old man slowly picked up the teacup on the small table.

"She..." Zhai Lei hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly, "She is my wife."

"Pfft~cough cough!" The old man obviously didn't expect him to answer like that and almost choked to death on a mouthful of tea.

"Are you okay?" Zhai Lei hurried forward and patted him on the back.

"No... nothing." The old man took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea off his body while asking, "Boy, if you said something else, I might believe it. Wife? Do you know what these two words mean?"

"I know!" Zhai Lei patted his chest, looking like he understood, "It means being together for a lifetime, never leaving each other, and never parting."

"You may not be that old, but you are quite shrewd." The old man stood up. "Okay, you want to go see her, don't you? Go ahead. Remember, don't touch her. She is not out of danger yet."

"Well, I'll just take a look from a distance." After saying that, Zhai Lei trotted towards the small house next to him.

Looking at the sneaky figure lying outside the window, the old man stroked his beard and said, "With mutant thunder spirit roots, this kid is a good candidate. What a pity..."

...Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Feng Shu's condition gradually improved, but she was still unable to move or speak.

Zhai Lei sat beside the bed, holding a medical book in his hand and reading it word by word.

After reading two pages, Zhai Lei closed the book and stood up: "Okay, today's study time ends here. I'll go boil some medicine for you and I'll be back soon."

Soon, he came to the bedside carrying a bowl of steaming medicine.

Zhai Lei stirred the medicine with a spoon and said, "The old man said that you have recovered well. It won't be long before you can speak. I guess your voice must be very pleasant!"

Feng Shu's eyes rolled and she opened her mouth, but still no sound came out.

"Don't worry, some things can't be rushed. By the way, I plan to make you a chair with wheels, so you don't have to lie in bed all the time!"

[Thank you! Meeting you is Shu'er's lifelong luck.] Feng Shu's eyes moistened and tears flowed again.

"Look at you, why are you crying again? Come on, open your mouth."

...Day after day, winter goes and spring comes.

Under the blooming peach tree, Feng Shu sat in a wheelchair, allowing Zhai Lei to put peach blossoms on her head.

"Haha, poor little thing is so pretty!"

"I have good news for you. Yesterday the old man said that he is just one herb away from completely ridding your body of the toxins! How is it? Are you happy?"

"…I plan to go to the mountains to look for it early tomorrow morning!"

"When you get better, I will take you to see the world's prosperity, no matter where you are!"

The next day, just after dawn, Zhai Lei appeared in front of Feng Shu's bed carrying a bamboo basket.

He held her hand and said, "My poor little girl, I'm leaving now! You must wait for me to come back!"

[Little brother, be careful on the road! Shu'er will always be waiting for you! ]

After reluctantly parting, Zhai Lei gently closed the door.

One day later, he finally found a thousand-year-old snow lotus on the edge of the cliff.

Zhai Lei was overjoyed: "Great! With it, the poor little thing can talk and stand up!"

The cliff was steep and it took a lot of effort to finally pick the snow lotus.

Before I could feel happy, the stones under my feet suddenly loosened.

"Click~"

"what!!"

At the moment of falling, Zhai Lei used all his strength to throw the bamboo basket containing snow lotus onto the cliff.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Zhai Lei opened his eyes.

I heard the sound of wind and looked down subconsciously.

I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat!

What's going on? I'm actually lying on a cloud!

Also, why does my head hurt so much? What happened before? Why can't I remember it?

"Awake?" A gentle voice came to my ear.

Only then did Zhai Lei discover that there was a handsome man in a green shirt standing on the cloud.

"You...you are an immortal?" Zhai Lei's eyes widened, and he was extremely shocked.

"Perhaps that's the way mortals see it." The other party smiled at him faintly, "My name is Liu Wuji. Since we have met, it is also fate... Are you willing to take me as your master?"

"Ah? Can I?" Zhai Lei looked at him hesitantly.

I never thought that one day I would be able to worship an immortal as my teacher.

"Of course! You have good aptitude. If you practice hard, you will definitely achieve something in the future."

"Disciple greets Master!" Zhai Lei was overjoyed and kowtowed heavily to the cloud.

"No need to be polite, I will take you back to the sect right away."

"Yeah," Zhai Lei nodded heavily. Listening to the sound of the wind in his ears, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes - he seemed to have forgotten something very important.

……

Little did he know that, from then on, a girl would be waiting for his return outside the thatched cottage in the snowy mountains every day.

From sunrise to sunset, this wait lasted for ten years.

Until the moment when the snow mountain collapsed, her eyes remained unchanged: "Little brother, you must not be dead, right? Shu'er, I look forward to seeing you again!"

"...From the ends of the earth to the corners of the sea, let's see the prosperity of the world together!"
