Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

No matter how domineering a little girl is, she is afraid of sticks. She may be tough at first, but she won’t be tough anymore later.

"Wuwuwu... I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again."

"Grandma! Cuiwei, Cuiwei, save me!"

Jixiang and Ruyi were beaten so badly that they cried for their parents, looking pitiful.

After a long time, the two children cried until their voices were hoarse and they could not even utter a word to beg for mercy.

Shen Lishu was tired from fighting and stopped to catch his breath. Suddenly, Xiao Mu grabbed his wrist and gently took the branch away.

"Okay, don't tire yourself out. Go take a break. I'll talk to them."

"That's up to you."

Shen Lishu was very measured in his beatings. The two of them just looked a little pitiful and hurt, but in fact, they didn't hurt anything internally, and only had superficial injuries.

She turned around and went back to her room to practice. Her childish body did get tired easily.

Shen Lishu's room was the same as it was six years ago, with only a simple step-out bed and a wardrobe. It was so simple that it didn't seem like the room of a king.

The room was cleaned spotlessly, without a trace of dust. Someone must have come to clean it regularly. She sat cross-legged on the bed, but did not practice. Instead, she communicated with the Heavenly Dao in her heart.

[Tian Dao, please take a look at these two children. What's wrong with them? Why do I feel uneasy when I get close to them? They make me feel very uncomfortable.]

[Ah? Wait a minute, I'll check.] Tian Dao was obviously a little confused.

After a while, the voice of the Heavenly Dao rang in Shen Lishu's mind, "I have to be good, you have encountered all the strange things in the world."

[Stop talking nonsense, speak quickly! ]

Tiandao stamped his sturdy legs, his tone extremely aggrieved, [I have put in so much effort, why are you so heartless! ]

Shen Lishu was speechless, [Have you been reading any storybooks recently? ]

[Hehe, how did you know?] Tiandao said something sarcastic again before getting down to business.

[I found out that these two children were destined to die young, but they survived because of you.

The mothers and babies who had died and suffered the same hardships attached all their resentment to them.

Especially Ruyi, she survived in the Baby Valley, where there are the most resentful souls and they are the most powerful, so she has the heaviest resentment. 】

[What impact will these grievances have on them? ]

Tiandao rolled his eyes, "Listen to me, haven't you seen the impact? Although these grievances will protect them as they grow up, they will also affect their character, such as acting cruelly..."

Shen Lishu's doubts were finally resolved. "I said, my mother is a person with very positive values. When I was watching from heaven, I didn't find anyone instilling those vicious ideas in them. Then why do the two of them take human life so lightly?"

At first I thought it was just their natural personality, but after a while I realized there was something else going on. 】

Shen Lishu gritted his teeth. These grievances had both advantages and disadvantages for them, but in the end the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

[How can we dispel those resentments? ]

[That's easy! You've saved so many people, and your merits are so great that they can blind people's eyes. You also have the power of faith from the people of Qingli Country.

As long as you keep them with you every day, over time, the power of merit will dispel the resentment. However, their methods of doing things over the years have become habits, so you still have to teach them. 】

Shen Lishu felt helpless after hearing this. [How long is a long time? I can't follow two kids around every day, can I? Can I still fight?

Besides, my parents have done a lot of good deeds, so why is it that after taking care of them for so long, there is no effect? ​​】

Tiandao spread his hands and said, "Do you know that merits are divided into different levels?"

[Is this thing divided into levels? ]

[Of course not! The merit you gained by sacrificing yourself in Gaogu City and killing the Ghost King is the merit of saving the world, which is of course different from those ordinary merits.

In fact, if you can mobilize the power of merit, you can quickly dispel the resentment, but can you? 】

Shen Lishu was silent. She couldn’t, she simply couldn’t do it!

She is essentially a dead person, so the power of merit is now in a passive state surrounding her.

It's impossible to use that!

【That's all we can do for now. 】

Shen Lishu gave up and made mental preparations to carry a burden with him wherever he went, so he began to practice with peace of mind.

She has a single fire spiritual root. According to the words of Mo Xingchen's world, this is a very powerful and top-grade spiritual root. She is like a child of destiny.

But she happened to travel to this world where the spiritual energy was particularly thin, and her cultivation speed was relatively slow.

Didn't she stay on the lotus platform of Tiandao for six years? The spiritual energy there was abundant. Shen Lishu was very talented and had the help of magical tools. Her cultivation speed was so fast that she broke through the Nascent Soul stage in just six years.

This is why she was able to return to the human world so quickly.

After being reborn into this body, her body was unable to withstand the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage all at once, so the Heaven helped her seal up her cultivation. What Shen Lishu had to do now was to increase her physical strength and release her original cultivation bit by bit.

Shen Lishu sniffed, and a rich aroma of food floated in the air. She stopped practicing and walked out of the room.

I saw Xiao Mu taking off his wide robe and wearing an apron around his waist. He was cooking in the kitchen, and the fragrance came from there.

He turned around and saw Shen Lishu smiling faintly, "You're up, the food will be ready soon."

Shen Lishu walked over and looked around, but didn't see Jixiang Ruyi. "Where are the two of them?"

"I punished them by making them squat outside."

She only glanced at the platform and then looked away, staring at the stir-fried pork in the pot, "Is it ready to eat?"

"Right away." Xiao Mu stir-fried the dishes twice more, put them on a plate, put them on the table, took off his apron and went to wash his hands.

Now it was just the two of them, and Xiao Mu wanted to hug her, but when he stretched out his hand halfway, he saw Shen Lishu's image as a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old and retracted his hand.

No matter how beastly he is, he can't do anything to such a young girl.

Shen Lishu blinked her bright eyes and asked, "Xiao Mu, do you miss me?" Although she could see him in heaven, she still couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Mu looked at Shen Lishu quietly, and a hint of grievance appeared in those cold and elegant eyes.

"This time, I have waited for you for six years, Shen Lishu, you are really the most cruel woman in the world."

Is he blaming her for not looking for him first after she came back?

"I..." Shen Lishu felt guilty about this matter.

Xiao Mu didn't dwell on the matter anymore. He took Shen Lishu's hand and asked her to sit down at the dining table. "Let's eat first."

He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Shen Lishu's bowl, "Try it."

"What you cook must be delicious." Shen Lishu lowered his head and ate the food in big mouthfuls.

After finishing her meal, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, raised her head, looked into Xiao Mu's eyes seriously and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I miss you very much."

Xiao Mu smiled, his eyes were as moist and bright as melting ice and snow, "I believe it, so when will you be willing to give me a name?"

Shen Lishu lowered his head in shame, "I can't do it now."

"Forget it." Xiao Mu retracted his gaze and began to clean up the dishes. "I won't ask you where you have been for the past six years, why you didn't come back, or why you turned into a child. I just want you to remember that there is someone waiting for you."

"It's not that I won't come back, it's that I can't come back!" Shen Lishu only explained this sentence. She really couldn't do anything else.

Xiao Mu paused, sighed softly, and said nothing.

Shen Lishu walked under the eaves and called Jixiang and Ruyi into the house.

The two little girls are in a terrible state now. Their pretty skirts are covered in dust and dirt, and the little hairpins on their heads are also in a mess.

It was really a lot of suffering.

Not only did her butt hurt, but her arms and calves were also covered with marks from Shen Lishu's beatings. They were now red and swollen, like thick caterpillars.

After squatting in horse stance for a long time, her legs were shaking. She couldn't even cry. No one could help her.

Bear with it.

"Do you two know you're wrong?"

The two little girls nodded vigorously, "I know."

Shen Lishu asked again, "Then tell me where you went wrong?"

The two little girls’ faces froze, this was a life-threatening question!

"Uncle Xiao just said that we should not be impulsive when encountering things, and should not do bad things so obviously. We should find out everything before striking, and the worst thing to do is to expose ourselves."

After all, Ruyi was a few days older and spoke more fluently than Jixiang, and he could repeat such a long string of words clearly.

Shen Lishu: “?”

She turned her head sharply, "Xiao Mu!"
