"Since the young master doesn't like it, let Ling'er be your maid, just care about her food and clothing." Xiao Cheng said hoarsely.

Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Uncle Xiao, this is not what the boy means. I already have a woman I admire in my heart and can't tolerate other women. Besides, I am used to walking alone, so I really don't want to take other people with me."

"This! Cough cough..." Xiao Cheng coughed a few times, and a trace of depressedness appeared in his eyes.

Shen Lang continued: "Don't worry, uncle, I can naturally understand your mood. Uncle, you don't know that Sister Ling'er is very talented and can be sent to Chongxiao Palace to practice Taoism. Eating fullness and warmth is definitely not a problem. In time, you may become a famous fairy hero."

"Chong... Chongxiao Palace? Mr. Chen is not joking! Cough cough..." Xiao Chengcang's old face showed a hint of surprise.

It is rumored that Chongxiao Palace is a place where immortals live, and the immortal masters inside are in groups, like a fairyland.

For mortals, it is an unimaginable existence.

"Don't worry, Uncle Xiao, I can say this, so I am sure to send Xiao Ling'er to Chongxiao Palace for training." Shen Lang said seriously.

"Ling'er doesn't want to go to Chongxiao Palace, Ling'er just wants to take good care of her grandfather." Xiao Ling'er cried.

"Silly girl, you took care of her for a while, but you can't take care of her for the rest of your life. Ling'er girl, you are no longer a child, you must accept some things. Listen to me, your grandfather is indeed alive for a few days. Girl, you must listen to your brother Shen Lang, otherwise I will not recognize you as your granddaughter!" Xiao Cheng said as he coughed and tried his best, and his breathing was a little difficult.

Xiao Ling'er's thin body trembled slightly, and she cried for a long time before she let out a light "um".

"Young Master Chen, Ling'er will ask you." Xiao Cheng said in a heavy tone.

"Don't worry, I will settle her down. Xiao Ling'er is my life-savior. If my uncle is worried, Ling'er and I will become loyal brothers and sisters. How about you?" Shen Lang asked for instructions.

"Okay, great!"

Xiao Cheng smiled hoarsely, stretched out his hands and trembledly pulled Shen Lang's hands and Xiao Ling'er's hands and put them together.

"You will be righteous brothers and sisters in the future, so... I will feel relieved, old man. Haha..." Xiao Chengcang's old face showed a relieved expression.

Shen Lang's mood was a little heavy, and Xiao Ling'er burst into tears.

Early the next morning.

Xiao Cheng's body was cold, his eyes were closed, and he never woke up again...

The old man had passed away at night.

The little girl cried for a day and a night.

Shen Lang arranged the old man's funeral, without any big fancy decorations or fancy tombs.

The old man's corpse was buried by Shen Lang in the rapeseed field outside the village with his own hands, and a tablet was carved with blood.

Shen Lang presented a bouquet of flowers.

Xiao Ling'er burned incense and presented flowers, knelt down beside her, her originally beautiful big eyes now seemed a little hollow.

She is just an old man and her only relative, and now her only relative has passed away. How could Xiao Ling'er accept it for a while?

Shen Lang originally thought the little girl would continue to feel depressed.

The next day, Xiao Ling'er got up as usual to cook, and even called Shen Lang out to eat, as if she had recovered from the blow.

However, the little girl's depressed mood was completely written on her face. It was purely because this girl was sensible, and it would probably take a long time to recover from the pain of bereavement.

"Xiao Ling'er, how are you thinking about the things you said to you before?" Shen Lang asked at the dinner table.

Xiao Ling'er nodded: "Think about it. Brother Shen Lang, I will go to Chongxiao Palace with you tomorrow."

"Okay." Shen Lang nodded slightly.

The next morning, the two of them set off after they were ready.

The whole villager of Xiaojia Village saw them off for the two of them, and Shen Lang also appreciated the kindness and drank a glass of farewell wine.

The two set off and headed to the north of Lingxiao Mountain.

Previously, Shen Lang got a map of Lingxiao Mountain from the storage bag of Master Liu.

The place names in the entire Lingxiao Mountain area are very clear. Chongxiao Palace is located at the highest mountain in Lingxiao Mountain, with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Xiaojia Village is located on the outer border of Lingxiao Mountain, very far from Chongxiao Palace, nearly more than 4,000 miles away.

With Shen Lang's current cultivation level, it will probably take ten days and half a month to reach the Chongxiao Palace.

Shen Lang can also release purple lightning flying boats. With the speed of the flying boats, he can reach the Chongxiao Palace in almost one stick of incense.

But his cultivation is too weak now, and he releases flying magic weapons, which is simply a high-profile attempt to commit suicide.

Xiao Ling'er didn't know how far the Chongxiao Palace was from here, she only knew that she was going to follow Shen Lang.

Apart from Xiao Cheng, perhaps only Shen Lang can make her believe it.

Following the fastest route, Shen Lang avoided the villages and towns and plunged directly into the hinterland of the mountains and forests.

The road is not so early in the dense woods. After all, the little girl is young and walks very slowly.

"Come on, Xiao Ling'er, I'll carry you." Shen Lang squatted down and signaled Xiao Ling'er to lie on.

Xiao Ling'er waved her hand with a slightly red face: "No, no, no, I can still leave. Brother Shen Lang, you will be very tired if you carry me on your back."

Shen Lang felt a little funny and touched her little head: "It's okay, you little girl is so heavy. Don't hesitate, come up quickly."

Xiao Ling'er was a little shy and shy. She was so embarrassed that she still lay on Shen Lang's back.

Shen Lang had no worries on Xiao Ling'er and ran through quickly, like the wind.

He ran wildly in the mountains and forests for more than an hour, like an agile leopard, without taking a breath.

Even though Xiao Ling'er knew that Shen Lang had extraordinary skills, she was still frightened by his exaggerated behavior. She couldn't help asking: "Shen... Brother Shen Lang, you have been running for so long. Do you want to stop and rest?"

"Don't worry, this is nothing. Xiao Ling'er, if you are hungry, we can stop and eat something." Shen Lang turned around and laughed.

"No, I'm not hungry yet." Xiao Ling'er shook her head.

In this way, he walked through until noon, and Shen Lang stopped to rest for a while and had some dry food.

After the little girl had enough food and drink, she continued to walk with her back on her back.

This kind of life lasted for ten days and half a month. Shen Lang and Xiao Ling'er slept in the open, rushing to the morning and resting in the evening.

The dry food I brought had already been eaten.

Shen Lang has a very rich experience in survival in the wild. He uses local ingredients, hunts by himself, and picks wild fruits. Every meal is cooked food after careful barbecue, and the food is even more abundant.

Xiao Ling'er simply felt that Shen Lang could do anything.

Shen Lang carefully barbecued cooked food and wild fruits he picked were always the first to give to the little girl. Every night, he also helped the little girl lay simple and exquisite tents, sprinkled with deworming herbs, and sat upright outside the tent and meditated, almost taking care of her in every detail.

Xiao Ling'er was deeply moved. Apart from her grandfather, no one has ever treated her so well. She completely regarded Shen Lang as her own brother.

Maybe she was spending time together day and night, Xiao Ling'er talked a lot, and often chatted with Shen Lang, and gradually came out of the pain.
