There were limited supplies on the mountain, and Lou Xiao was still young and growing up, so her stomach was like a bottomless pit and she wanted to stuff everything she saw into it.

The new sister is very sensible. Master said that being a sister has its advantages, and now it seems to be true.

Senior sister brought her a lot of food!

Lou Xiao opened them one by one, as if she had never seen the world before. She was obviously greedy but couldn't bear to eat them.

My saliva is almost dripping just by smelling the aroma. It’s roast chicken!

Her master couldn't bear to see her useless appearance, and said,

"Eat if you want! With your sister as your backer, we won't starve."

Lou Xiao retracted her hand, "Master, the things sent by Senior Sister arrived first, why hasn't she come yet?"

There may be more to come.

"I asked your senior sister to prepare some writing materials and books for you. She may still be preparing them."

The old man grabbed the roast chicken that his disciple was eyeing and took a bite, completely ignoring her resentful look.

"Books? I can already write, what else do I need to learn..."

Lou Xiao couldn't eat the roast chicken, so he had to dig out a bag of pine nut candy from the pile of supplies and chewed on it while mumbling.

"Just knowing how to write is enough? If you don't have anything in your head, you will just be laughed at when you go out!

Your senior sister is just giving you some guidance, so that when I am gone, you won’t be laughed at for raising a fool.”

Lou Xiao said dissatisfiedly, "Wouldn't this take up my time for martial arts practice?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said, “So in order to ensure that you have enough time to practice martial arts, you have no rest time.

Go! Go to the top of the mountain now and practice all 24 moves fifty times!"

Lou Xiao was stunned. "But I just came down and haven't eaten yet."

It would be torture to leave this mountain of delicious food uneaten!

The old man gestured with his hands, "I'll give you a cup of tea. Get out of here when you're full."

Lou Xiao pouted and poured all the pine nut candy into her mouth. Then she quickly opened a bamboo box.

There was a whole braised lamb leg in it, and I don’t know which chef cooked it, but it was still warm.

She wolfed down the food in a few bites, and her master reminded her, "Time is almost up! If you don't leave now, I will personally kick you out!"

The little girl snorted, grabbed two pancakes and ran away, not forgetting to bargain with her master.

"Master, don't eat all the roast chicken! Leave one leg for me to eat when I come back!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared among the trees, only startling a few birds that flapped their wings.

After Lou Xiao left, the old man put down the roast chicken in his hand and no longer had any appetite.

My time is running out, and my body is about to decay, but I am still alive. It would be better for me to be dead.

All the functions of the body are deteriorating. I can't see or hear clearly, and I have no appetite and difficulty sleeping.

My bones feel like they will fall apart at any time, and my body occasionally feels numb and painful. I can only drink alcohol to temporarily revitalize my body.

Living too long is torture.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting there. He vaguely saw Xiao Zhaocheng approaching, followed by a young boy holding a plate of books.

The old man woke up as if from a dream, "Here I come..."

Xiao Zhaocheng, who was still the King of Cheng, was reserved and steady. He nodded and said, "You go to sleep. I'll have someone put the things away. Where's she?"

"Let her practice martial arts." The old man said calmly.

"Before I die, I must teach her a lesson."

He was actually very anxious. Although Lou Xiao was making rapid progress, he was also aging quickly.

If she died before she grew up, and if she went astray, who could help her?
