We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 90: The More Beautiful a Woman Is, the More She Deceives

Without realizing it, within the Book of a Hundred Lives, a month had passed.

Bai Ruxue had completely settled down in Huan Fishing Village.

Bai Ruxue washed clothes and cooked for Xiao Mo, dried fish, and took Xiao Mo out to sea to fish.

Every time they went out to sea to fish, the two of them would return with a full catch.

And every time Xiao Mo praised Bai Ruxue, saying ”Sister Bai, youʼre so amazing,” the womanʼs eyes would crinkle into crescents, and sometimes she would even place her hands on her slender waist, lift her proud little chin, and say happily, ”Your Sister Bai is the most amazing, you know~”

Bai Ruxue also often gave some fish to the villagers.

Huan Fishing Village already had simple and honest folk customs, and after Bai Ruxue had given fish several times, the villagers completely trusted her.

Even some of the aunties and elderly women in Huan Fishing Village wanted to introduce matchmaking prospects to Bai Ruxue.

After all, this girl was truly beautiful.

However, Bai Ruxue politely declined them all, saying she already had someone in her heart.
Sometimes Bai Ruxue would secretly leave Huan Fishing Village.

Although Ruxue said she was going out alone to catch fish, in reality, Xiao Mo knew that Ruxue was going to handle some matter.

The most direct evidence was that every time Bai Ruxue returned, Xiao Mo could smell a faint medicinal fragrance on her body.

Ruxue seemed to be secretly refining some kind of pills.

Xiao Mo pretended not to know anything.

Another month passed.

Xiao Mo wanted to go out to study.

The neighboring fishing village was called Dragon Sea Village, and like Huan Fishing Village, it also originated from Qingshan County from three thousand years ago.

The two fishing villages would pool money together to hire a teacher to enlighten the children.

The reason Xiao Mo wanted to go to school was because he wanted to help Bai Ruxue transform into a true dragon.

Admittedly, in this life, Ruxue was already a Demon Empress at the Immortal realm, so even if he reached the highest position as a minister, his help to Ruxue would probably be minimal.

Not to mention that the current Great Chu had the appearance of a dynastyʼs final years, completely terminally ill.

The mountains, rivers, and destiny of Great Chu were far inferior to the Qi Kingdom of three thousand years ago but Xiao Mo really couldnʼt think of any other way to help Ruxue transform into a true dragon.

After all, he was just an ordinary person in this lifetime.

Fortunately, he had the knowledge from his previous life, and even after three thousand years, he still had some foundation.

If he understood what current students were learning and what the rules of Great Chuʼs imperial examinations were, he should still be able to enter officialdom.

”Eh? Xiao Mo, you want to go out to study?” That evening, when Bai Ruxue heard that Xiao Mo wanted to go to the neighboring village to attend school, her expression was very surprised.

”Mm.” Xiao Mo nodded, ”The village chief said that Iʼve reached the age where I can go to a private school to read and learn characters. Setting aside whether Iʼll be scholarly material in the future or whether I can become a high official, at least when I leave the village, Iʼll be able to recognize some characters and wonʼt be deceived by others.”

”I see.” Bai Ruxue lowered her head and took small bites of rice, seeming to be thinking about something.

Soon, Bai Ruxue lifted her head, ”Little Mo, how about sister teaches you to read and write instead?”

”Sister Bai, youʼll teach me?” Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment.

Bai Ruxueʼs eyes crinkled into crescents, ”Donʼt underestimate your sister. Sister has read quite a few books, and if sister teaches you to read, you wonʼt need to run to the neighboring village every day. Wouldnʼt that be better?”

”Then alright, Iʼll trouble Sister Bai.”

Xiao Moʼs eyes carried a hint of distrust.

In his previous life, he was the one who taught Ruxue to read and write.

In this life it was reversed, which felt somewhat subtle.

”Then itʼs settled. Starting tomorrow, sister will go buy some books and begin teaching you to read and write.”

Hearing Xiao Mo agree, a bright light flashed through the womanʼs peach blossom eyes, and her excited appearance was like a little girl.

Who knows what kind of expression the demon clan of the North Sea Dragon Palace would have if they saw their Majesty with such a little girl-like demeanor.

The next day, Bai Ruxue indeed went to town and bought two large boxes of books back, all required reading for the imperial examinations.

Xiao Mo looked at the names of these books.

Many were still Confucian classics he had read three thousand years ago, but there were also some books written during these three thousand years.

Xiao Mo even saw his own ”Agricultural Manual of North and South” and ”Qi Kingdom Water Conservancy Techniques.”

”Starting today, Sister Bai is your teacher.” Bai Ruxue looked at Xiao Mo with full enthusiasm, ”Quick, call me Teacher Bai and let me hear it.”

”Teacher Bai,” Xiao Mo called out.

Hearing Xiao Mo call her teacher, Bai Ruxue felt as if an electric current passed through her heart, tingling and numb, but very comfortable.

”Call me again, let sister hear it.” Bai Ruxue seemed somewhat addicted.

”Teacher Bai.”

”Call me once more.”

”Teacher Bai.”

Xiao Mo watched as Ruxue became intoxicated with the repeated calls of ”teacher” and couldnʼt extricate herself, and couldnʼt help but smile and shake his head inwardly.

Where was Ruxue like a three-thousand-year-old Demon Empress?

What difference was there between her and three thousand years ago?

”However,” Xiao Mo looked at her upturned corners of her mouth, ”this seems good too.”

”Sister Bai, you should teach me to read now.” Xiao Mo tugged at her sleeve.

”You should call me teacher.” The woman lightly flicked Xiao Moʼs brow, ”Usually call me sister, but during study time, you must call me teacher, understand?”

”Alright, teacher.”

”So obedient.” Bai Ruxue pulled over a chair and sat beside Xiao Mo, her silver-white hair giving off a faint pleasant fragrance, ”Today teacher will first teach you a few lines of poetry.”

Bai Ruxueʼs jade-like finger wrote the first line of poetry on the rice paper.

”Come, recite with me.”

Bai Ruxue pointed at the elegant small characters and read word by word.

”Hold your hand, grow old together with you.”

Xiao Mo followed along, ”Hold your hand, grow old together with you.”

After finishing, Xiao Mo lifted his head and pretended not to know as he asked the woman, ”Sister Bai, what does this mean?”

”The meaning of this phrase...”

Bai Ruxueʼs eyes moved as she thought, then she reached out her finger and lightly flicked Xiao Moʼs forehead, smiling as she said, ”When you grow up, sister will tell you.”

”Alright.” Xiao Mo didnʼt mind and continued to ask innocently about the next line, ”Then sister, how do you read this line?”

”This line of poetry, recite with sister: ʼA graceful and virtuous woman, a gentlemanʼs good match.ʼ”

”A graceful and virtuous woman, a gentlemanʼs good match.” Xiao Mo repeated once, ”Sister, what does this phrase mean?”

”The meaning is that gentlemen all like beautiful women with good figures who are gentle and virtuous.”

”...” Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment. When I explained this line of poetry to Ruxue back then, did I explain it this way?

”However, Xiao Mo.” Bai Ruxueʼs brows furrowed slightly, ”You must remember that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she deceives. You absolutely must not believe what pretty girls say, understand?”

”What about Sister Bai?” Xiao Mo asked.

”As for me, Iʼm naturally an exception.”

Bai Ruxue gently pinched Xiao Moʼs nose.

”No matter how much time passes, no matter when it is, sister will never deceive Little Mo.”

“So, you can only listen to sister, okay~”
