The Miss Who Waits Bitterly

Hong Lie chuckled, "Interesting, interesting. I'm a demon, no, I'm not a demon, I am a demon! But I don't eat people, or rather, I do eat people, but I won't eat you. How should I put it? Ah, anyway, I won't eat you! You're too old!"

Song Yiren was so frightened that he kept nodding, "Yes, yes, you won't eat me, you won't eat me."

Then Hong Lie said with his eagle beak, "I say, old man, this is Jiang Ziya! Your second brother is him. Because he ate a lot of spiritual objects, his appearance hasn't changed. Alas, what a pity, he ate so many innate spiritual objects. If I had eaten them, I estimate I would have reached the Golden Immortal Realm long ago."

Of course, Hong Lie didn't know how good the things Wang Yuan gave him were.

But Song Yiren reacted, "Ah? Then you're my second brother? You found an immortal?"

Jiang Ziya nodded, "Yes! Elder brother worried, it's my fault for these forty years."

Song Yiren said excitedly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

The old butler also quickly said, "Master, Second Master, please come inside quickly!"

Hong Lie saw Jiang Ziya looking at him and immediately understood Jiang Ziya's meaning. His figure slowly shrank, only becoming about 1.5 meters tall.

Even so, he was still much bigger than ordinary eagles.

Hong Lie said, "Just find me a single room."

Jiang Ziya said, "Brother Hong Lie, won't you chat with us?"

"No, you guys chat. Just get me some good wine and food. The two of you meeting again will definitely be a tearful mess."

The butler said, "Demon Lord, please follow me."

Hong Lie followed behind the butler, returning to the room where good wine and food were naturally arranged.

On the other side, Song Yiren and Jiang Ziya arrived in the living room.

Song Yiren looked at Jiang Ziya and said, "Second brother, I didn't expect there really are immortals! Second brother, you haven't changed at all in forty years!"

Jiang Ziya took out three red fruits and said, "Big brother, you, your wife, and your nephew should eat these! They can increase your lifespan by thirty years."

Song Yiren shook his head, "So precious, how can I take them?"

Jiang Ziya sighed, "Alas, what's so precious about them? I used to eat one a day on the mountain, but I still haven't cultivated immortal techniques."

Song Yiren said, "Then did you learn magic?"

Jiang Ziya nodded, "I know some, Star Shift, Mountain Moving Sea Pouring, Rain Seeking Wind Summoning."

Song Yiren said in surprise, "Ah?! Isn't that divine power just like a god?"

Jiang Ziya thought that made sense. To mortals, wasn't he a god?

"How are elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew?"

At this time, Song Yiren had his wife, Zhao Clan's Wife, bring their son in quickly.

Zhao Clan's Wife had just heard that her younger brother-in-law had returned after cultivating the immortal path. She wanted to see him, but now that he was an immortal, it would be terrible if she was impolite.

Jiang Ziya quickly gave the fruits to Zhao Clan's Wife and his nephew.

The two quickly thanked Jiang Ziya. After the three of them finished the fruits, they indeed became more than thirty years younger.

The three of them looked at themselves in the mirror and were overjoyed, thanking Jiang Ziya once again.

In the evening, Song Landlord of Song Family Village held a flowing banquet.

To celebrate the return of his second brother.

People were all delighted because they received a large reward.

Everyone in Song Family Village knew that Song Landlord's younger brother had returned.

Moreover, Song Landlord had become more than thirty years younger, which looked incredible, and they came to visit, wanting to see what an immortal looked like.

Jiang Ziya's head ached from all the visiting cards.

"Brother, let's decline them!"

"Alright, if you don't want to go, then don't go. But do you know if our family still has a marriage arrangement?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head; he had long forgotten about things from forty years ago.

Song Yiren sighed, "Ma Hong of Ma Family Village has a daughter who is betrothed to you, do you remember?"

Jiang Ziya vaguely remembered, "Oh, is that the little girl?"

Song Yiren nodded, "That's right, but you left without saying goodbye to cultivate immortality, and that woman didn't break off the engagement. Now she's waiting for you to return, and she's already sixty-eight years old, still in her maiden chamber... Ah, my virtuous brother, you should marry a young and beautiful woman now, but for such a woman of great loyalty, you should take her into your house as a concubine, after all, she has waited for you for more than forty years!"

Jiang Ziya was surprised to hear that there was such a long-lasting woman in this world?

He was deeply moved, "Brother, there's no need to say more, she didn't break off the engagement, so I'll marry her!"

Song Yiren said in surprise, "Great, I'll go and inform that Ma Yuanwai!"

The next day, Jiang Ziya and Song Yiren went to the Ma Hong's house to propose marriage.

Ma Yuanwai came out to greet them. After they were seated, Jiang Ziya said to the Yuanwai, "Father-in-law, please don't blame me, I have been seeking immortality for more than forty years... I am sorry for your daughter!"

She hid behind the door, sighed after hearing Jiang Ziya's words, at least he didn't forget!

In fact, she had heard about Jiang Ziya's arrival yesterday. She liked Jiang Ziya, she liked him since she was a child, and she still liked him after she grew up.

But one wait was forty years...

But she didn't expect that she actually waited for Jiang Ziya.

However, Ma Shi Miss discovered that Jiang Ziya still looked like he was in his thirties, very young.

Looking at her own appearance again, she turned and left.

The maid beside her said, "Miss, why are you leaving? Why are you unhappy?"

Ma Shi smiled bitterly, pointing to her wrinkled face and said, "Look at me, I'm already sixty-eight, how can I marry him?"

The little maid said, "Miss, have you been waiting for a lifetime, are you just not going to marry him?"

Ma Shi murmured, "It's because I waited for him for forty years, which proves that I like him, but if I marry him, it will only make him face the old me?? Let him go, let Jiang Ziya only think of me when I was young."

After speaking, Ma Shi threw herself on the bed and cried.

Everything was too late, Jiang Ziya was still young, but the Ma Shi Miss in the mirror was extremely old.

The maidservant naturally knew her young mistress's thoughts. She went straight to the main hall and knelt before Jiang Ziya.

Tears streaming down her face, the maidservant knelt before Jiang Ziya, "Esteemed sir, my young mistress likes you, she has liked you since she was little. But my young mistress is old, no longer the way she used to be. She doesn't want you to see her aged appearance, but she has truly suffered waiting for you... Please, have mercy and, I heard you have immortal techniques, help my young mistress!"

Ma Yuanwai's tears also flowed, "Yes, this child is ill-fated."

Thinking of his daughter waiting for Jiang Ziya her whole life.

He heard that this Jiang Ziya had even learned immortal techniques, but when he thought that his daughter was already sixty-eight, how could he say it?

Jiang Ziya was very young, looking to be only in his thirties.

Ma Yuanwai hesitated for a long time, then sighed, "Forget it, forget it, let it be. This marriage, my Ma family will withdraw from it!"

Having said that, he took out silver, "Virtuous nephew, take this money with you, we are calling off... the engagement."
