The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1071: Everyone Has Their Own Fate

Ling Xiao had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the current situation.

But when Xiao Han stood beside him with a radiant smile, saying she wanted to elope with him and ask him to support her, he didn't want to think about it anymore.

As long as he could be with Xiao Han, he would gladly endure even the hardships of ordinary life.

He just didn't know that there's a saying in the mortal world: "When poverty knocks at the door, a couple suffers a hundred misfortunes!"

After the two eloped, Ling Xiao couldn't even afford to rent a house. It was only after Xiao Han pawned a piece of jewelry that she got some money to rent a house and buy some basic necessities.

At this time, Ling Xiao was so weak that he could barely make ends meet by copying books for bookstores in exchange for a few coins.

That day, he had just delivered books to the bookstore and received a tael of silver as payment, which was two hundred more than last time. He was very happy and immediately rushed home excitedly.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw that the gate was open and the landlady was talking to Xiao Han.

The landlady's distinctive loud voice could be heard from afar.

"Oh dear, I'm not trying to be mean, but what do you, a pampered young lady, see in a poor scholar? Look at you two, you can't even afford the rent, let alone live a life of luxury. Are you planning to go begging with him?"

She grabbed Xiao Han's hands again and said, "Look at these hands, they're covered in scars. Tell me, what exactly do you want from him?"

Xiao Han stammered, "He's very good to me, he loves me very much."

The landlady immediately spat, "If he really loved you, he should let you live a comfortable and enjoyable life, instead of making you suffer with him."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao was furious. This landlady was trying to sow discord between him and his wife.

He rushed in and said to the landlady, "How could you, an outsider, understand how good I am to my wife? Here's the rent, now get out of here."

The landlady took the rent, gave Ling Xiao a disdainful snort, and then left.

After she left, Ling Xiao grasped Xiao Han's hands tightly, his eyes filled with heartache, and said, "After we get out of here, I will be the God Emperor, and you will no longer have to suffer. Or I will pass the imperial examinations, and you will be able to enjoy a life of luxury from then on."

Xiao Han smiled wryly and said, "Let's talk about it after we get out, or after you pass the imperial examination. I need to go and do laundry, otherwise we won't have any money to buy rice."

After saying that, he withdrew his hands and silently went to work.

Ling Xiao wanted to help, but he also needed to seize the time to review his books so that he could have a chance to change his fate.

He stood there blankly for a long time, unable to understand why Xiao Han was never happy even though he loved her so much.

After some time, when Ling Xiao was about to leave, he noticed that his only decent piece of clothing had a hole in it. He couldn't help but complain, "My clothes are torn, and you didn't even bother to mend them for me sooner. I'm in a hurry to leave now."

Xiao Han threw the clothes she was washing into the basin and said angrily, "I'm busy all day long, do I have even a moment of free time?"

Seeing that she was angry, Ling Xiao was also a little unhappy and said, "I didn't say you weren't busy. I just asked you to mend the clothes first. Your temper is getting worse and worse these days."

Xiao Han became even angrier. "I'm a rich young lady, living this poor life with you. Have I ever complained to you? It's just that my clothes were torn and not mended in time, and you're criticizing me and saying I have a bad temper?"

Ling Xiao was immediately filled with both sadness and anger. "So you regret it? You regret eloping with me? What have I done wrong to you? Is it my fault that I don't have money? Aren't I also trying to earn money? If I were still the God Emperor, would I lack this little bit of money?"

Xiao Han immediately retorted, "You're not a God Emperor anymore, you're a mortal. You don't have the money to support your wife, so why would you want to elope with me?"

Ling Xiao casually remarked, "But you were the one who suggested eloping back then."

Xiao Han was so angry that tears streamed down her face. "Didn't you say you loved me very much, that you eloped with me so that I wouldn't marry Young Master Shui? Now you're saying this to me? What's the point of me staying here? I'll go back and have my parents beat me to death rather than stay here."

Ling Xiao realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly went over to humble himself and apologize profusely.

But once this kind of argument happens, it will happen countless times.

Even the deepest feelings can be worn down by a life of poverty and the mundane matters of daily life.

Of course, Xiao Han in the Boundless Secret Realm had no idea that she existed in Ling Xiao's world. At this moment, she was standing in a treasure vault filled with all kinds of treasures, drooling.

After entering the Boundless Secret Realm, she found herself in a strange space.

At this moment, she appears to be within a sect.

Then, while she was still looking around, she saw a male and a female cultivator hurrying over.

As soon as the female cultivator saw her, she said, "Junior Sister Xiao, everyone is so busy, and you're still taking a break here? Come with us to inventory the storeroom and register the items."

Then, Xiao Han followed them to a large hall in the back mountain, which was covered with array formations and restrictions, without really understanding what was going on.

Turning around to the back of the main hall, you'll find the sect's storeroom.

The female cultivator pointed to the doors of the three storerooms and said, "We will each take turns checking one storeroom. These things have been in the storerooms for too long. The sect leader told us to check them one by one, register them, and discard anything that has no spiritual energy. After the check is completed, just hand in the jade slip containing the records."

At this moment, all the restrictions on the warehouse had been closed. Xiao Han was given a blank jade slip by the female cultivator, who then pointed to a warehouse and told her to go in and work.

Xiao Han pushed open the warehouse door and was stunned for a long time upon seeing the various treasures displayed on the shelves.

Could this be the shrine's storeroom?

Then, she grabbed the contents of a bowl closest to the door.

Holy crap, could this be Stardust?

Huh! This clock over there? It exudes an ancient and mysterious aura, with a rich, chaotic energy on it, and patterns that can shake one's soul at a glance.

Oh my goodness, could this be the Eastern Emperor Bell?

Xiao Han played with it for a while, reluctant to put it down, and then turned her head and saw a bow and arrow.

She stepped forward and gently stroked it.

Could this bow and arrow be the same one Hou Yi used to shoot down the suns?

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the divine bow, Xiao Han felt that it could shoot down not only the sun, but even an entire realm.

Of course, this is all predicated on someone being able to draw this divine bow.

Then, turning her head, she saw an axe.

Just one glance was enough for her to feel her mind and soul being completely captivated by the other person.

Could such a terrifying axe be the Pangu Axe used by Pangu to create the world?

These things are more than just treasures; they are practically innate sacred treasures.

Any one of these items would be a treasure that would drive cultivators into a frenzy of competition.

Then, Xiao Han saw a storage bag.

She probed in with her divine sense.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

That place is filled with sacred stones.

The mountains of sacred stones evoke the same feeling as a mountain of gold for an ordinary person.
