It was not until an arm lifted him up from the bed and pressed his back against a warm chest, that he finally felt like he had truly landed on the ground.

A bowl of bitter-smelling medicine was placed in front of him. Qing Shi Jiu raised his head and saw the jawline of the Lord of Mount Spirit.

“Not drinking it.”

He just woke up from a big dream, he was still a little dazed and a little fragile, completely dependent on the Lord of Mount Spirit, so unconsciously, he was acting coquettishly.

The Lord of Mount Spirit coaxed softly: “Please listen, I’m worried about you.”

Therefore, Qing Shi Jiu pinched his nose and took an enormous gulp. As soon as he put down the bowl, a piece of sweet cake was stuffed into his mouth.

Qing Shi Jiu turned around and hugged the Lord of Mount Spirit’s waist, pressing his head against his chest and muttering: “I almost thought I was going to die.”

The Lord of Mount Spirit stroked his back: “No way.”

Qing Shi Jiu said nothing. The pain he felt just now came without warning and was so strange and unsettling that he could not help but hug the Lord of Mount Spirit tighter.

It was as if just like this, the things he worried about would not happen.

After that day, Qing Shi Jiu drank an extra bowl of medicine every day.

Qing Shi Jiu could not bear it after drinking medicine for two straight days, so he sneakily dropped the bowl. Then the Lord of Mount Spirit pinched the back of his neck and made him drink an even bigger bowl.

“Wife, please don’t fool me because I’m blind.”

Qing Shi Jiu could not express his misery: “…”

He did not dare.

[How are you even blind? Your fiery eyes are the ones from out of the Supreme Venerable Sovereign’s furnace.]

Dizzily, Qing Shi Jiu opened his eyes. Outside the window, it was getting dark.

So it was like that again.

He climbed out of bed with hands and feet feeling weak. He put on his slippers and his outer robes, and went out of the room.

In the last few days, the Lord of Mount Spirit recently changed the dining table and chairs into a divan with soft pillows sun-scented with pine rosin. Qing Shi Jiu had just gotten up from the bed and was now collapsed on the divan, holding a soft pillow and looking at the steaming vegetables on the low table dazedly.

The two clay children were not being naughty. They climbed onto the divan and massaged his legs and lower back.

“Good children, so considerate.”

For a while, Qing Shi Jiu was moved. Lately, he had been acting very strangely. Not only was he lethargic, but he also had inexplicable back pain. At night, he would even wake up due to cramps.

Under the care of the clay children, he became drowsy, but suddenly his eyes widened.

… He had a strange idea.

When the Lord of Mount Spirit came over with an empty bowl, he grabbed the hem of his clothes.

“What’s wrong?”

Appearing strange, Qing Jiu hesitated, unable to say anything for a long time.

“It’s inconvenient to say?” The Lord of Mount Spirit lowered his voice, as if he was telling a little secret, “Then tell me secretly.”

Qing Shi Jiu looked sad: “You know that I can’t wake up these days, and I also have backaches and leg cramps. Am I… Am I going to become an old man?”

 The Lord of Mount Spirit: “…”
