CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 211: XIANGSHUI HOUSE—HOW MANY YEARS UNTIL COMPLETION?

"..."

Li Ye saw the couple about to show their affection again and quickly interjected, "That’s simple. Brother Song, your expectation is that the house can move at will, and Sister-in-law, yours is that it won’t get damaged.

So... what about your children?"

In the classical text "Nine Songs Lady Xiang," the wishes of children are actually quite important, and can even surpass those of adults—aren’t Divine Sons and Saintesses cultivated from a young age?

Brother Song and Sister-in-law Song were taken aback.

Then they looked at their children.

They were just a few children, five or six years old, but already able to help their parents.

Sister-in-law Song gently asked,

"Gou Dan, Yan, Zhu."

"What kind of home do you want?"

The three children, unable to understand the deeper meaning, answered without hesitation,

"Warm in winter and cool in summer!"

"A place where mom and dad can always come back!"

"It would be great if there was a well so we wouldn’t have to draw water..."

Hearing this, Li Ye couldn’t help but chuckle. He squinted slightly, as the clear blue Xiang River water began to shimmer at his fingertips.

At this moment, he sensed the second Divine Technique of "Lady Xiang."

The first was "Household," and the second was the ability to perceive wishes, or rather, to turn wishes into the divine techniques he can execute.

That was the miracle Lady Xiang, forever shrouded in mist, wished to bestow upon those who prayed to her—if "Household" were a sincere ritual offering by mortals, then "Xiang Yuan" would be Lady Xiang’s response.

What would the third Divine Technique be?

Li Ye didn’t ponder further, feeling certain that everything would fall into place naturally.

He seriously said to the children, "Just in time, Immortal Chen gave me this Immortal Treasure..."

The small house beside him immediately moved toward the Song family’s residence, and then, the Song family house began to melt, or rather, be kneaded by an invisible large hand.

The materials remained unchanged, and so did the shape, but it exuded a sense of renewal; whether the walls or windows, they all glinted with a spiritual brilliance.

Performing Lady Xiang’s Divine Technique was quite strenuous for Li Ye. Although it seemed like the house was casting the spell, in reality, he was casting it behind the scenes.

So after the spell was completed, he staggered slightly and only regained his color after swallowing several pills.

No one noticed his condition as everyone was focused on the newly transformed house.

But Sister-in-law Song’s face changed, and she immediately called the children over, pulling out the red sugar and eggs she had prepared, offering a bowl of sugary egg water to Li Ye.

Sister-in-law Song handed the full bowl, with sugar at the bottom, over with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Brother Ye, if there’s anything you need in the future, just call on me and Old Song."

"It’s no problem."

Li Ye accepted the bowl with a smile, downing it in one gulp.

He was accustomed to eating quickly, but Sister-in-law Song was visibly concerned. Look at him, he’s so weak he’s not even worried about choking!

It’s undeniable that Li Ye’s appearance, even after hiding his jade-like aura, still attracted the nurturing instincts of middle-aged women like Sister-in-law Song.

Especially when he appeared a bit more fragile...

Behind him, True Man Suoxing chuckled.

Sensing something amiss, Li Ye quickly returned the bowl to Sister-in-law Song, saying, "Really, it’s fine. Sister-in-law, hurry and check out the house!"

"Okay!" Sister-in-law Song, pulling him along, said, "You should come see it too. I’m a bit..."

At this point, quite a few people had already squeezed into the house.

In villages or small towns, it was quite normal for people to come and go, visiting each other’s homes—especially since Brother Song wanted to show off.

By the time Li Ye entered the house, those inside were already clicking their tongues in amazement.

"Doesn’t it feel more comfortable in here?"

"I touched the wall and it really didn’t crumble!"

"Hey, what’s this door?"

In the courtyard, a door stood abruptly, appearing ordinary, yet its presence there was peculiar.

"This is an Immortal Gate."

Li Ye glanced at it, suddenly enlightened, and explained, "Just now, Gou Dan, Yan, and Zhu mentioned wanting their parents to always be able to return. As long as you’re within a hundred li, you can hold the jade pendant hanging on the door to summon it.

Directly come back home."

Even as he spoke, he was shocked.

What kind of sorcery.

This house, just infused with divine technique, now possesses a treasure akin to a spatial array for instant transportation—could this also be Lady Xiang’s Divine Technique?

He suspiciously glanced at the obedient Xiangshui House beside him, feeling as if this matter was related to it.

Because he abruptly realized that much of the Spiritual Power he had just infused was already depleted, especially the power from Jianmu—the purest power of space was completely gone.

But even so, it shouldn’t have manifested such a potent divine technique.

The Xiangshui Divine Technique usually requires time to take effect; could it be that this Xiangshui House can enhance its effectiveness? Or is the Celestial Dao actually observing here?

He gazed at Xiangshui House for a while, and it finally noticed his attention.

"?"

Xiangshui House lifted its head, its flower-decorated eyes sparkling with confusion, its mood just as perplexed.

Clearly, this little thing had no idea what had transpired.

Otherwise, even if the Emotion Song couldn’t elucidate it, the interface should have prompted.

"It’s nothing."

Li Ye withdrew his gaze and loudly declared, "Brother Song, wherever you’d like the house to move, just tell it so."

Hearing his words, Brother Song came back to his senses and, tentatively said, "East... about a mile?"

Immediately, the ground trembled violently.

The entire residence, including the courtyard and land, "stood up"—roots identical to those of Xiangshui House sprouted at the base of the residence.

Then, slowly and gingerly, it began to walk eastward.

The people inside the residence were stunned, clinging to the walls to gaze outside, while those who hadn’t squeezed in followed behind, talking among themselves:

"It’s really standing up!"

"Is this the means of an Immortal Family?"

"Quick, let’s follow!"

And so, the residence ambled along, sidestepping other houses as it went, even knowing to follow the paved road.

It walked until it reached a mile eastward, then gently descended, the roots retracting, settling quietly onto the ground as if nothing had happened.

Except, the spiritual light enveloping the surface of the residence dimmed considerably.

Li Ye realized that this house couldn’t continuously move; it required something—presumably the "wish" mentioned in Xiangshui Divine Techniques that grows with time.

Wish Power!

This divine technique clearly aims to transform the house into a "deity" of home.

Thinking of this, he reminded Brother Song and Sister-in-law Song: "In the coming days, you must take good care of this house; it has been endowed with intelligence by an Immortal Treasure. If not properly cared for, it may cause trouble in the future."

Gratitude welled in his heart, and Brother Song became all brotherly, saying, "Right, right! Brother Ye, you’ve done us such a boon. I almost feel like I’m dreaming!"

Li Ye, feeling the thinness of his depleted Spiritual Power, could only grin and bear the praise, hoping they wouldn’t notice his own weakness.

And then, to seize this sudden opportunity, and to bask in the gratitude of the village.

Mother Song stood there, beaming at her community’s look of amazement, feeling proud.

They finally had a sturdy home to put down their roots.
