Su Qianxue returned to the shop.
Having stayed in the shop for so many years, Su Qianxue was already intimately familiar with its layout.
Without needing to grope around, she walked to Su Qing's side.
Leaning against Su Qing, she told Su Qing the question she had just asked.
Hearing her worries, Su Qing couldn't help but smile helplessly.
She usually didn't like to talk about matters of life and death, especially the life, death, and lifespan of those around her.
Although she had seen many people off, she still couldn't help but feel heartache and regret every time...
But alas... some things she couldn't change.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought about teaching Su Qianxue magic and letting her cultivate.
Even if not like herself, transcending life and death, escaping the Five Elements.
Just being able to live another three to five hundred years, to accompany her for a few more centuries, would be good.
However, Su Qianxue in this life had no talent for cultivation.
Even Su Qing couldn't guide her onto the path of cultivation.
Unless... she let her walk the path of a incense god.
But walking the path of an incense god was merely treading the old path of her previous life again.
A path of incense without one's own cultivation was like a castle in the air.
One could cultivate very high, but also fall very hard.
Although her mind was filled with countless thoughts, she did not show them in front of Su Qianxue.
Su Qing just patted her head and said with a chuckle:
"What are you saying! I'm living perfectly fine right now! Your sister is only in her thirties, how could I die so quickly! Who will live longer, that's still unknown!"
Currently, Su Qing's appearance and voice both seemed to be that of a thirty-year-old.
That gentle feeling of a Jiangnan water town made her even more beloved than before.
They say women in their thirties are the most charming, and Su Qing at this time was precisely at her most charming.
However... Su Qing certainly wasn't truly old.
This appearance was merely transformed using a shapeshifting technique...
This was also to prevent the neighbors from noticing anything suspicious.
After all, Su Qing lived in the mortal world; occasionally, neighbors would visit, or during festivals, or ask for help with funerals.
In short, she also had to interact with people.
If she always maintained the same appearance, Su Qing feared she would have no peaceful days.
Therefore, to avoid these things.
She would also change her voice and appearance...
Besides preventing others from discovering she was an immortal.
At the same time, in a sense, it was also to grow old together with Su Qianxue, wasn't it?
Su Qianxue didn't know Su Qing was thinking so much.
She just listened to her sister's answer and said with a chuckle:
"Then... in the future, sister, you can hold my funeral! Anyway, you can't die before me!"
Su Qing helplessly rubbed her head...
She silently sighed in her heart, then readily agreed.
Su Qianxue probably also realized that life and death were always a heavy topic.
So she proactively changed the subject.
"But sister, you're already in your thirties, why aren't you married yet?"
"A while ago, Aunt Liu's daughter got married, and I heard she was only seventeen!"
Hearing this, Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly.
Although she understood the little girl's thoughts, did... she really not realize this topic was even heavier?
Moreover, she only knew of elders urging younger generations to marry, but had never heard of younger generations urging elders to marry.
This girl had certainly set a precedent.
The sparrows standing on the bookshelf nearby heard Su Qianxue's words.
They couldn't help but mock Su Qing.
They even laughed and said Su Qing wasn't thirty, but three hundred years old.
Su Qing glared at them unhappily; she wasn't three hundred years old yet!
The little fellows, glared at, thought their snacks would be withheld again, and immediately shut their mouths.
Even if Su Qing pinched them, they couldn't go without delicious food.
Su Qing ignored the little fellows and said helplessly:
"Your sister is still young! And... I don't want to marry. Marriage... to me, is too ethereal."
She was an immortal, now even transcending the shackles of lifespan and escaping the Five Elements...
There was absolutely no possibility of her marrying a mortal.
To her... it was truly too ethereal.
"But... Aunt Liu said that if a woman isn't married by thirty, she won't be able to get married."
Su Qianxue reached out and cupped her sister's face, saying earnestly:
"Sister, you're already over thirty!"
Su Qing rolled her eyes, just about to give up and say, "Since I'm already over thirty, if I can't get married, then I can't get married."
Just then, she heard Leng Xiang's voice coming from outside the door.
"It's alright, if Master can't get married, I will marry Master..."
It was precisely noon, and Leng Xiang, as usual, brought lunch for Su Qing and Su Qianxue.
When she walked outside the shop, she heard the two inside talking.
With the intention of helping her master out of the predicament, Leng Xiang spoke.
Su Qianxue was stunned when she heard this.
After pondering for a moment, she roughly understood Leng Xiang's meaning.
"So, it's not sister marrying someone else, but Sister Leng Xiang marrying sister?"
Of course, she knew Leng Xiang was helping her sister out of a tight spot...
But she also found it very interesting, so she pretended not to understand.
Su Qing: "..."
"That's right."
Leng Xiang nodded earnestly.
She casually placed the food box on the table.
"But you and sister are both women..."
"What does that matter?"
Seeing the topic straying further and further, Su Qing couldn't help but say:
"Alright, alright, you rascal, aren't you also getting on in years? What's wrong? Do you want to get married? Suddenly bringing this up?"
Su Qianxue smiled sweetly upon hearing this.
She joked: "That's right! I want to marry sister along with Sister Leng Xiang! After all, sister is beautiful, speaks nicely, and is gentle, who wouldn't like her?"
Leng Xiang heard this and pouted.
She naturally knew this was a joke and couldn't be bothered to argue with Su Qianxue...
Life is but a hundred years or so.
After a hundred years, she would be a pile of dry bones, and when she would see her next life was unknown.
Why bother arguing with her?
In the end, only she would remain by her master's side.
Su Qing, however, helplessly flicked her on the forehead.
"Smooth talker! You can't even see, how do you know I'm beautiful?"
"Can't I hear it? Passersby all praise you!" Su Qianxue said with a beaming smile.
Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly.
To be fair, she also thought her thirty-year-old appearance was very beautiful!
The girl wasn't wrong about that.
However, Su Qing also put away her playful mood.
She asked: "But girl, do you plan to get married?"
Su Qianxue shook her head slightly and said:
"No plans... just staying with sister and Sister Leng Xiang is enough! I'm blind, no one would want to marry me!"
"And if it weren't for you, sister..."
"I would probably already be a pile of dry bones in the mountains!"
Su Qing looked at the snowflakes falling outside...
Her heart was filled with countless thoughts.
Leng Xiang silently opened the food box and placed today's lunch dishes one by one on the table.
And handed chopsticks to both of them.
Seeing this, Su Qing patted Su Qianxue and smiled:
"Don't say such inauspicious things! Shut up and eat! If you don't eat, you might not grow tall."
"Sister... I'm already seventeen!!!" Su Qianxue said helplessly: "I'm not a child anymore!"
"In Master's eyes, even if you reach 90, you'll still be a child," Leng Xiang said cruelly.
Su Qing: "..."
The few people in the shop ate their meal with laughter and chatter.
Outside, fine snow drifted slowly.
Thus, another year passed.
