Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

So he went to fetch water, took a cold shower, and then returned to his room.

Hearing the commotion outside, Li Shuang smiled.

The two stayed inside for a while longer. Li Shuang knew that the plot was almost over, so she released Lan Xichen.

He's been restless these past two days, constantly worried about what's happening outside, and Li Shuang has noticed it all.

"Are you coming with me? Once I've settled down, we'll find a place for the pear tree to take root," Lan Xichen said reluctantly to Li Shuang.

After thinking for a moment, Li Shuang cast a spell, and the entire pear tree and she herself entered the bell on Lan Xichen's waist.

"Shuangshuang?" he asked, puzzled.

Li Shuang's voice came from the bell: "I will cultivate inside the bell, and you can take me with you wherever you go!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen touched the bell and said with a smile, "That would be perfect. Let's set off now."

The bell vibrated in response to him, and Lan Xichen smiled, feeling pleased.

When all the events came to a close, the Wen family had already fallen.

Lan Xichen also returned to Cloud Recesses. After hearing his disciple's words, he walked towards the Jingshi (Quiet Room).

As he walked, his hand instinctively rubbed the bell at his waist, and thinking of Li Shuang, he couldn't help but smile.

Having just returned, he didn't want to disturb Li Shuang's cultivation, so she's still inside the bell.

Upon arriving at the destination, Lan Wangji stopped playing the zither when he saw him.

"Brother!" Lan Wangji said, his mind uneasy.

Lan Xichen looked at him and the pile of musical scores. He said, "I heard from my disciple that as soon as Hanguang-jun returned, he went to the library and then locked himself in his room, playing the zither day and night, so I came to see him."

"Brother, I want to go to the forbidden room in the library and stay there for a while!" Lan Wangji said.

Lan Xichen: “Why?”

"Study the sheet music!"

Just then, a disciple's voice came from outside the door: "Zewu-jun, Hanguang-jun, the master requests your presence!"

Lan Xichen turned around: "Let's go!"

As he walked, the bell at his waist rang. Lan Wangji, who had just entered the room and was playing his zither, hadn't noticed it yet, but now his gaze fell on Lan Xichen's waist.

"Brother, why have you been wearing a bell lately?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen raised his hand, picked up the bell, and said with a smile, "I'll talk about it when I see my uncle later!"

Lan Wangji had no choice but to suppress his words and thoughts, and the two walked toward the elegant room.

They went inside, and Lan Qiren told the two of them about the current situation and the matter of settling scores.

Lan Xichen was asked to dispel his resentment, and Lan Wangji was asked to repair the library.

“When Xichen left with the collection of books that day, some were inevitably lost or damaged in the rush. Wangji, you are responsible for repairing the collection of books and revising the family precepts.”

In fact, Lan Xichen hid in the pear tree in Lishuang that day, and the books he had hidden were completely intact.

Lan Qiren only did this because he saw that Lan Wangji was not in a good state.

Lan Wangji took the books, and Lan Qiren continued, "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. The family precepts are the foundation of our Lan clan. I hope you will all keep them in mind."

After saying that, he changed the subject: "Xichen, when did you start liking bells?"

Lan Xichen stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Uncle, this was a gift from the person who took me in when I was fleeing in haste. She said I could not take it, but I have already agreed."

“In that case, the Lan family rules cannot be disregarded,” Lan Qiren said.

Lan Xichen said, "I beg you to punish me, Uncle!"

“If you wear it for even one day, you’ll be punished by copying the family rules once!” Lan Qiren said.

"Yes, uncle."

Then Lan Wangji suggested going to the forbidden room, but Lan Qiren refused.

Finally, having no other option, they went outside.

After Lan Xichen parted ways with Lan Wangji, his bell vibrated.

"Xichen, are you going out?"

He looked down at the bell and said with a smile, "Yes, it just so happens that you have some free time now. I wanted to ask you whether you want to stay in the Cold Chamber or come with me."

"I'll go with you. Get ready and let's go!"

Lan Xichen's smile deepened: "Alright, we'll be passing through Yunmeng. The scenery there is beautiful. Would you like to go and see it?"

"Yes, let's go quickly!"

"Okay, let's go now."

As for family rules, we'll talk about them when we get back. There aren't that many rules when you're away from home.

Upon arriving in Yunmeng, Lan Xichen encountered Wei Ying, also known as Wei Wuxian, who was drinking. Wei Wuxian invited Lan Xichen to have a drink with him.

Lan Xichen, thinking about Lan Wangji, agreed, and the two sat facing each other.

Li Shuang overheard their conversation, including what Lan Xichen said to Wei Wuxian.

After Wei Wuxian left, Li Shuang appeared in the room.

"Xichen, don't worry about it. Everyone has different ideas, and they have their own reasons and paths to take," Li Shuang said, pinching his cheek.

Lan Xichen was amused by her behavior: "I'm just worried about Wangji."

“My younger brother is all grown up now and has his own ideas. You can’t control him too much. Everything will take its own course!” Li Shuang said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll have someone change the food and drinks at another table. You can eat first," Lan Xichen said, patting her head.

Li Shuang nodded: "Okay! Don't change anything that hasn't been touched, don't waste it."

"I'll listen to you," Lan Xichen said with a smile.

After the food and drinks were changed, the two sat down to chat.

Li Shuang said, "The scenery here is indeed quite nice. Let's go see the lotus flowers. I want to eat lotus seeds."

“Okay, you can go if you want, and you can eat whatever you want.” Lan Xichen had no objections.

“Then I’ll help you get rid of the resentment. You’ve been cultivating for so long, it’s time to stretch your legs.” Li Shuang tapped her waist.

Seeing her movements, Lan Xichen asked with concern, "Is your back uncomfortable?"

Li Shuang shook her head: "It's nothing, I just sat for too long, I'll be fine after moving around a bit."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen breathed a sigh of relief and gave her a few earnest instructions.

After leaving the restaurant, they went to a lakeside. Looking at the pond full of lotus flowers, they could pay money to take a boat down to pick lotus seeds.

Lan Xichen paid the money, and the two sat in a small boat and rowed towards the middle of the lake.

"The lotus flowers here are so beautiful, and there are so many lotus seeds to eat!" Li Shuang looked around at the lotus pods.

Hearing the first sentence, Lan Xichen thought it was normal, but when he heard the second sentence, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Let’s go pick some lotus pods, and I’ll peel the lotus seeds for you when we get back,” he said with a smile.

Li Shuang nodded, saying that peeling lotus seeds also requires patience.

"Thank you, Xichen!" She smiled brightly, feeling that her own world was much more lovable because of the original owner's personality.

Seeing her happy made Lan Xichen happy too; every time he saw her, he felt good.

"Host, I also want to eat fresh lotus seeds!" Xiao Qi's voice rang out.

"I'll pick some lotus pods for you later, you can peel them yourself." Li Shuang nodded.

"Okay!" Xiao Qi nodded obediently.

You absolutely must make your own lotus seed pods to experience the joy of picking them.

There was nothing else Lan Xichen could do but tell her to be careful.
