Mu Xue and Mu Xue

The two chatted and laughed over their meal—such a heartwarming scene was a rare sight for Mu Xue. Ever since she was little, she had longed for the weekend so she could play with her beloved brother, Lin Mo! For this little girl, the warmth and care of family always seemed out of reach. However, from the moment she entered this world, her fate was sealed. Five-year-old Mu Xue lived in a world of darkness and pain. Her parents' indifference, her family's neglect, and the ridicule of the outside world left her feeling lonely and helpless. But amidst this gloom, her brother, Lin Mo, was the only sunshine in her life. He offered her endless care and love, becoming her only support. Now, Mu Xue was finally escaping that dark place and beginning a new life. Although the future was uncertain, she firmly believed that with her brother, Lin Mo, by her side, everything would be better.

But this heartwarming scene did not last long before it came to an end. Mu Xue, who was talking and laughing, suddenly fainted without any warning. Lin Mo was still immersed in the heartwarming scene just now, with a happy smile on his face. He was a little distracted for a moment and even forgot to react. However, when he heard the crisp "thump", his eyes instantly became panic-stricken. He realized what had happened and immediately turned his head to look at the source of the sound - Mu Xue had fainted on the ground. Lin Mo's heart sank suddenly, and he threw down the dishes in his hand without hesitation and rushed to Mu Xue lying on the ground. His movements were swift and firm, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Lin Mo anxiously shook Mu Xue on the ground: "Xue'er! Xue'er, what's wrong with you! Don't scare your brother! Xue'er!"

"Stop shaking it."

After hearing the voice, Lin Mo turned around to look at the source of the voice. Seeing that it was Feng Batian, he said in a pleading tone: "Please! Lord Alliance Leader, please save Xue'er!"

"Oh, get up quickly and put her on the bed. She's fine. She just fainted from overexertion. Just get some more rest." Lin Mo quickly put Mu Xue on the bed and stayed by her side. Looking at Mu Xue's pale face, Lin Mo felt distressed.

"Do you know why he's exhausted? Because she saved you, idiot!" Feng Batian poked Lin Mo's forehead with his finger. "When I went to look for doctors, they were busy and couldn't come. When I came back, I saw that all his injuries had healed. I wanted to ask your sister if she was okay, but he was already asleep. But I can sense a newly awakened aura in him. She must have awakened healing abilities, and maybe a companion weapon too!" Actually, having a male weapon is both a good and a bad thing. Having a companion weapon means having the weapon that suits you best, but the downside is that you can't cultivate other types of weapons besides your companion weapon. When you are a child, that's when the companion weapon owner's abilities are at their weakest, and the weapon is easily lacking in power, so the weapon is very fragile at that time.

When Lin Mo heard that it was Mu Xue who saved him, he suddenly felt a little sad and a little happy.

After about five days, Mu Xue's body had almost recovered, so she said goodbye to Feng Batian and the others. They felt that they should go out and find a town. The money Lin Mo had saved over the years was almost enough to buy a house.

Lin Mo had never traveled far since he was a child, so he didn't know if there were any towns nearby. It was Alliance Leader Feng Batian who told Lin Mo that there was a town fifty miles northwest. After thanking Feng Batian, they rode their horses at full speed to the town fifty miles away.

Because Mu Xue was in poor health and her cultivation was not high, the two of them walked very slowly. Lin Mo originally wanted to carry Mu Xue on his back, but she refused because it was Mu Xue's sister Mu Xue who was in charge of the body at that time. Mu Xue's sister was a proud person, but she also had the capital to be proud! Who can pierce someone's chest with bare hands at the age of four? To be honest, Lin Mo really wanted to compete with his sister's sister and see his true strength, but he couldn't open his mouth! How could a brother want to compete with his sister, not to mention that his sister had awakened healing abilities? When he came up with this idea in his mind, he was amused.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking, they only knew that they walked from the first morning to the next morning.

"I didn't expect that we have already walked for a whole day! How far is it?" Mu Xue complained.

Linglong also made a few "嘤嘤嘤" sounds, probably to express that she was also very tired.

"Hurry up! Let's take a break for a while, and then run there in one go. Otherwise, I'll carry you on my back!" Lin Mo really didn't want to see his sister suffer so much.

"No, no! Xue'er doesn't want her brother to carry her on his back. Xue'er wants to walk by herself!" Mu Xue's tone was very arrogant when she said these words, making her look very cute.

Lin Mo smiled and patted her head. After walking a little further, a small town appeared before their eyes. Lin Mo and Mu Xue finally reached their destination. They walked into the town and found an inn. Lin Mo requested two rooms, intending to let Mu Xue rest. Once inside, Mu Xue collapsed onto the bed, while Lin Mo looked at her worriedly.

"Xue'er, are you okay? Do you want me to find a doctor?" Lin Mo asked with concern.

"I'm fine, brother, just a little tired." Mu Xue said with all her strength.

Lin Mo nodded and decided to let Mu Xue rest while he went out to inquire about the town and see if there were any suitable houses for sale. Not long after, Lin Mo returned to the inn and told Mu Xue that he had found a nice house and that she could go take a look. Mu Xue smiled expectantly after hearing this. Lin Mo took Mu Xue to the house. Although the house was small, it had everything she needed and even had a small courtyard. Mu Xue was very satisfied with it.

"Brother, will this be our home from now on?" Mu Xue asked excitedly.

"Well, as long as Xue'er likes it, this is our home." Lin Mo replied gently.

From then on, Lin Mo and Mu Xue settled down in this small town and started their new life. Although the future was full of unknowns, they believed that as long as they depended on each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Lin Mo and the owner were negotiating the price, while Mu Xue was happily playing with Ling Long. After haggling for a long time, Lin Mo finally bought the house for 170 taels of silver. Now Lin Mo still had 30 taels of silver left, enough for them to live for a long time. After paying the money, Lin Mo got the title deed from the seller, ran to Mu Xue, and happily took her hand, "Xue'er, we have a home!"

Mu Xue also laughed happily, her laughter clear and melodious, echoing in the air like a silver bell. Her eyes gleamed brightly, filled with hope and anticipation for the future. In that moment, she seemed to have forgotten all her worries and troubles, only yearning and pursuing a better future in her heart.

In the following days, Lin Mo and Mu Xue worked together to clean the house and decorate the garden. Although it was hard work, they enjoyed it.

Soon, the courtyard was completely renovated. On sunny days, Mu Xue would bask in the sun in the courtyard and fiddle with the flowers and plants, while Lin Mo would watch quietly from the side, enjoying the tranquility.

Life was ordinary but full of happiness. However, it didn't last long. One day, a group of uninvited guests suddenly came to the town and disrupted their peaceful life...

That day, Mu Xue was playing with Ling Long, while Lin Mo was sitting on a bench in the yard practicing. He felt that he had reached a bottleneck and needed an opportunity or a battle to break through himself. He was about to break through the soul realm and become a soul realm expert! After the breakthrough, he would have more power to protect his sister!

Suddenly, the sound of a door breaking interrupted Lin Mo who was practicing. He opened his eyes and saw a group of ferocious people. Some of them held maces, some held sickles, and the one in the front held a knife. He made a quick calculation and found that there were about 10 people, 5 of whom had broken through the seventh-level stars, four had broken through the eighth-level stars, and the last one holding a knife was a nine-star strongman.

"Get out of my way! Didn't you see my boss is here?" He then kicked Mu Xue, who was playing with Ling Long. The kick was so heavy that it sent Mu Xue flying two meters away. But he had hit Mu Xue! He had actually hit the sister of a man who was obsessed with protecting his sister. How horrible!

Just when the man was still feeling smug about his performance in front of the boss, suddenly a sword energy flew over and cut off his leg. He immediately lay on the ground holding his broken leg and screaming.

"Ahhhhhhh, my legs! My legs! Boss, hurry up! Kill him!"

"Who are you? Why did you break into my house and injure my sister? If you don't give me an explanation today, none of you will be able to leave!"

"Humph! Just you? A little brat? Hahahahahaha! Brothers, come on!"

When a group of them swarmed over, Lin Mo rushed forward and placed his sister in a safe place as quickly as possible, then began a one-sided massacre!

These people were all just realm-levelers with no actual combat experience, so their attacks looked to Lin Mo like an old lady waving a cane, easily dodged with a simple move. However, their leader was able to dodge Lin Mo's attack, but the others' ability to dodge was largely a fluke. Lin Mo had predicted their dodging positions, but they were unpredictable, executing unexpected moves.

After a while, Lin Mo dealt with those small fry. He didn't kill any of them, he just knocked them unconscious one by one.

"I've taken down all your minions! Do you have anything else to say?!"

"Hmph, you think you're so awesome after just knocking down a few small fry, don't you? Just now there were too many people around, so I couldn't use my full strength in this fight. So now I'll let you see my true strength!" As he said that, he rushed towards Lin Mo, waving the big knife in his hand non-stop.

When he was less than a meter away from Lin Mo, Lin Mo had already made a move to dodge, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden "Puff!" and blood would splatter in the air. Lin Mo looked closely and saw that it was "Mu Xue!" No! The person who appeared now could only be "Mu Xue!"

The boss felt a chill run down his spine. He looked down and saw a hand reaching out from his chest. A tender, white hand stained with blood! What a terrifying scene! He collapsed with a look of resignation on his face!

Lin Mo stared at Mu Xue with eyes wide open: "How come you are still addicted to pouring out your heart? This is not a good habit, you need to change it!"

Mu Xue ignored him, turned around, washed her hands at the sink, and went back to the house.

Lin Mo watched Mu Xue leave without saying a word, but silently picked up the "corpses" scattered on the ground. He tied up some of the unconscious ones and put the dead ones together with the unconscious ones, stacking them neatly like goods.

After doing all this, he returned to the room and saw Mu Xue playing with Ling Long. He knew that his sister was finally back. It was not that he disliked Mu Xue, but because Mu Xue never looked at him well!

"Brother, you're back! Did those people hurt you?" Mu Xue looked at Lin Mo with concern.

"Of course not! Who is your brother? Your brother is a genius, how could he be hurt by those trash!" Lin Mo patted his chest and said proudly.

When the two were chatting excitedly, they suddenly heard noises outside again. This time, the footsteps were many and loud, as if there were about twenty or thirty people!

Lin Mo immediately became alert. He opened a crack in the window and looked out. If he found anything wrong, he would immediately take his sister and escape through the wall.

He looked closely and saw a group of villagers rushing over, armed with kitchen knives, hoes, and sticks. The leader shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't be afraid, little kids! We're here to save you! Wang Qiang, you bastard! Don't you dare lay your hands on these kids! Come at us if you dare!" Their voices were so deafening that they seemed to wake the entire world.

When Lin Mo saw this scene, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh: "These people are so kind!"

Mu Xue, who was standing nearby, also heard their cries, and her eyes sparkled with emotion. She whispered, "It turns out this world isn't so dark after all... There are still many good people."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded in agreement. He thought of all the hardships and obstacles he had experienced, but now seeing these kind people, he felt that everything was worth it.

The two watched the busy figures silently, their hearts filled with gratitude and warmth. They realized that even if there are many difficulties and challenges in life, as long as there are such a group of kind people, the world will not be too bad.

At this moment, Lin Mo and Mu Xue felt the good side of human nature and were full of hope for the future.

"Uh..., aunts and uncles, we are fine, but they were knocked unconscious by us. Their leader seemed to have hit them a little too hard..." Lin Mo scratched his head and said awkwardly: "The leader was accidentally killed..."
