That day, Xiong Bufan returned home late with copper coins. Granny Qiu assumed that Xiong Bufan had been playing around and had robbed someone else, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Granny Qiu was still looking at Xiong Bufan with curiosity, as if she would keep staring at him if he didn't say anything.

Xiong Bufan kept it brief, saying, "A few days ago I brought back a bag of copper coins, which I stole when I rescued Wang Xiaojiu."

"Oh, a hero saving a damsel in distress."

Xiong Bufan didn't think this was a classic case of a hero saving a damsel in distress, so he added, "He still owes me a meal."

Granny Qiu thought to herself that Xiong Bufan could bankrupt Wang Xiaojiu with just one meal, so she joked, "Then I hope his wallet gets a little fuller."

"Yes, so he needs to save more money."

The steamed buns had almost all been sold out, so Xiong Bufan pushed the cart and walked back with Granny Qiu, while Wang Xiaojiu was still energetically hawking her vegetables.

Around noon, Granny Wang also closed her stall. Wang Xiaojiu, carrying a bag of vegetables, ran excitedly to Granny Qiu's house and knocked on the door, saying that she was delivering vegetables to Xiong Bufan to cook for him. "Bufan, I've come to find you, Bufan."

Xiong Bufan was practicing martial arts while Granny Qiu was cooking at home. Hearing a knock on the door, Xiong Bufan stopped and opened it. "Who is it? If you don't have anything serious to say, I'll beat you to death."

"Bufan, I've come to bring you some vegetables." As she spoke, Wang Xiaojiu blushed.

Xiong Bufan carefully took out a few copper coins from his purse and placed them in Wang Xiaojiu's hand, then took the food. "Thank you!"

Grandma Qiu said that you shouldn't take other people's things for no reason. Even if someone gives you something, you should find a way to return the favor. Wang Xiaojiu delivered vegetables, so Xiong Bufan couldn't just give him steamed buns. Instead, he gave him a few copper coins, and he could buy whatever he liked himself.

Wang Xiaojiu pushed the coin away, saying, "I can't accept it. This is to apologize for my previous behavior, and also to thank you for saving me that day."

A pig wanted to eat the cabbage she had carefully raised, and also wanted to steal the laborer she had carefully nurtured for half a year. Granny Qiu came out with a spoon and said, "Xiao Jiu is here. You should go back quickly, or Granny Wang will be worried."

"Don't forget to give the money for the vegetables to Xiao Jiu, otherwise Granny Wang will scold him when we get back."

"Grandma Qiu, let Bufan and I wait a while."

Xiong Bufan took out a few more copper coins and forced them into Wang Xiaojiu's hand, saying, "It's for the food."

It's almost noon. Granny Qiu only cooks enough for the two of them each time. If they're not full, Xiong Bufan has to go to the street to buy food. Is Wang Xiaojiu going to freeload here?

"Xiao Jiu, you should go back first, otherwise Granny Wang will deduct your wages again."

Seeing that Wang Xiaojiu was still reluctant to leave, Granny Qiu pushed her out of the courtyard gate and then closed the gate, saying, "Hurry home and have lunch, or you'll go hungry again."

"See you tomorrow, Bufan!"

Xiong Bufan, who was called out, scratched his head, feeling as if Wang Xiaojiu was clinging to him. But he had only saved him, so why was she bothering him like this?

Grandma Qiu looked at Xiong Bufan, who was now almost as tall as her. His appearance was also gradually developing, with an oval face and fox-like eyes. Even though he set up a stall every day, his skin was still fair and rosy. Although his cherry lips were dry and chapped, it did not affect his beauty.

Does Wang Xiaojiu know that Xiong Bufan is a woman?

"Bufan, did you tell Wang Xiaojiu she was a woman or did you take off your hat in front of her?"

Xiong Bufan thought for a moment and said, "I took off my hat; it was knocked off by someone."

"That's it,"

Granny Qiu understood. Wang Xiaojiu was already 16 this year, and he was thinking about getting married ahead of time. This was so obvious that it almost made Granny Qiu's face fall.

Xiong Bufan is a fool, and Wang Xiaojiu is shrewd; these two don't seem like a good match at all.

"Wow, what do you think of Wang Xiaojiu?"

“Vegetables are very expensive. The vegetables they sold us before were not good, and then, they stopped selling them.”

Granny Qiu breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Xiong Bufan didn't have any romantic feelings for her.

Kongkong wasn't worried about any of this. They were just passersby in this world. Xiong Bufan would leave sooner or later. Besides, Xiong Bufan's nephew was already running around, but Xiong Bufan hadn't even touched a male demon. Some had offered themselves to him for protection, but Xiong Bufan threw them all away, saying he was afraid of interfering with her cultivation.

Over the years, Xiong Bufan has thrown out at least eight hundred or a thousand people, but she has never figured it out.

When it was time to eat, Xiong Bufan patted his belly and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

"Okay, let's go eat."

Lunch consisted of leftover steamed buns and mantou from the morning, a large pot of stir-fried vegetables with cured pork, and soup made from half a chicken.

Fortunately, there were enough steamed buns and mantou, so Xiong Bufan could barely eat his fill. After cleaning up, Granny Qiu went to bed for a nap. Spring drowsiness, autumn fatigue, and summer naps are the natural rhythms of the seasons. Just follow them; why go against them?

Xiong Bufan basked in the sunlight outside the window, wondering when and how he would leave. He hadn't paid attention to this question before, having come here to cultivate immortality and ended up spending so much time in a daze, selling steamed buns and practicing martial arts.

"Kongkong, when can we leave?"

Kongkong calmly analyzed, "According to the rules, we should fulfill Lin Lanzhi's wish, and then, according to our own thoughts, live our lives in this world or choose to leave. However,"

Xiong Bufan disliked leaving things unsaid, so he countered with, "But what?"

"The 'Lin Lanzhi's Wish' section has never been lit up. Without any requests, it's just a blank page. If you leave without lighting it up, it can only be considered a mission failure."

This is a complicated matter. If we leave without completing the mission, it will cause problems, and other worlds won't be willing to accept us either..."

Xiong Bufan was fast asleep again. Kongkong was a little annoyed and really wanted to pick him up, grab his ear, and yell, "Can't you pay a little attention?"

For a bear, cultivation is simply eating and sleeping all the time. Only the techniques require going outside to practice. It was understandable that Xiong Bufan slept a lot when she was cultivating on the mountain, but now she is occupying Lin Lanzhi's body.

Lin Lanzhi's wish is blank. Even when Li Yun died and Lin Lanxi was kicked into the fire, there was no light. Kongkong has no clue now. Maybe he should take a nap. Maybe he will have a clue when he wakes up.

Qiao Qiqi investigated Xiong Bufan's residence. When he was alive, she found him annoying and didn't care. But after he died, she eagerly searched for any trace of his life.

When the scout reported, Qiao Qiqi was pruning flower branches. She accidentally cut off a peony in full bloom. A maid picked up the peony, saying, "Your Highness,"

She lost focus for a moment and cut off the flower head. Qiao Qiqi put down the scissors and said, "Put it on my calligraphy practice table. You can all leave now."

The maids left the room, saying, "Yes."
