Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Getting back to the topic, Liu Dong heard Amu's shout, put down his talisman brush, and walked out of the study.

Upon arriving at the main gate, Liu Dong saw people who were both somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

"Brother, now that you're back, why don't you come inside?" Liu Tong asked with a smile.

Liu Di is six years older than Liu Dong, and is now twenty-four years old.

In the Qing Dynasty, someone this age would have already been married and had children.

Liu's father originally wanted to arrange a marriage for Liu Di, but Liu Di ran away to go abroad.

Liu's father didn't know when he would return, and not wanting to delay the girl, he didn't find Liu Di a wife.

This time, Liu Di returned with his wife.

However, although his wife was very beautiful, she was blonde and blue-eyed, which was not a look that people in his country could accept.

If Liu's father and grandfather were still alive, they would definitely pick up a broom and beat Liu Di.

Liu Tong: "...Is this your sister-in-law?"

Liu Di: "Yes, she is your sister-in-law, Catherine. Catherine Bennett."

Liu Dong: "WHAT?"

Could this world be a world of arrogance and prejudice?

It turns out he was overthinking.

His sister-in-law was not the fourth daughter of the Bennet family.

Her sister-in-law's family was not a British country gentleman family, but a French noble family with a long history.

His sister-in-law is the daughter of an earl.

Liu Qiu looked at his older brother: "Wow! He actually managed to hook up with a noble lady and get her to bring a large dowry to be his wife."

Liu Tong looked Liu Di up and down.

Liu Di is indeed quite pretty.

He has well-defined features, a tall and slender figure, and an air of scholarly refinement—a handsome man!

Liu Tong: "Big brother, your room is cleaned every day, so you should go back and rest. Let's have a family dinner together tonight."

Liu Di: "Thank you for your trouble."

He took his wife and two servants to his own courtyard.

Liu Dong watched the two figures disappear into the distance and sighed.

Hopefully, his good older brother and sister-in-law will behave themselves and not cause him any trouble.

Others might not be able to see it, but Liu Dong, who had mastered the Maoshan Taoist arts, had opened his third eye and saw the thick yin energy on Catherine's body.

This yin energy is no less than that of the rice dumplings underground.

Of course, Liu Qiu also realized that Catherine was not a zombie, and that the yin energy on her body was well contained within her own body, so it did not have much impact on the people around her.

What kind of person is she exactly?

Liu Tong was very curious.

In the evening, the chef prepared a large table of delicious food, all of which were Liu Di's favorites.

Seeing the food, Liu Di felt a lump in her throat.

"Uncle Li still remembers what I like to eat!"

Liu Tong: "The elders in the family all remember you, and Grandpa and Dad talked about you every day. They hoped you could come back soon, but you didn't come back until they passed away. They left with regret."

Upon hearing this, Liu Di's eyes reddened: "I actually wanted to come back sooner, but something happened and I almost lost my life. Thanks to Catherine for saving me, I survived."

It turned out that the conservatives and reformers in the imperial court were at odds, so they sent assassins abroad to kill these students studying abroad.

Several of Liu Di's companions were killed. Liu Di fled frantically, but still could not escape the clutches of the assassins.

Just as he was about to die at the assassin's hands, Catherine appeared and killed the assassin, saving Liu Di's life.

Liu Di thus fell in love with Catherine at first sight.

Liu Di didn't say how Catherine saved him. You have to know that Catherine is a delicate noble lady. How could she kill a professional assassin?
Liu Tong didn't ask, but he already had a guess about Catherine's identity. Therefore, in addition to the dishes that Liu Di liked, there were two dishes that Liu Tong had specially ordered: spicy blood curd and duck blood vermicelli soup.

Liu Di's eyes lit up when she saw the two dishes.

He picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of duck blood from the vermicelli soup into Catherine's bowl.

"This dish is delicious, I'm sure you'll like it."

Catherine hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece of duck blood and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up.

She smiled indulgently at Liu Di: "It really is delicious, I like it."

Liu Di picked up another piece of spicy blood curd and gave it to Catherine: "This dish is a bit spicy, be careful."

Liu Tong: "Don't worry, I asked Uncle Li to make it mildly spicy. It looks red, but it's not actually that spicy."

Catherine carefully took a bite of the blood tofu, found the spiciness to be within her tolerance range, and nodded to Liu Di.

So, Catherine took over the responsibility of preparing these two dishes.

Liu Dong pursed her lips, realizing he had guessed correctly.

Liu Tong glanced at Liu Di, who was diligently serving his wife.

This person is still human; they haven't changed into another species.

only--

Humans only live for a hundred years, while Catherine lives for a very long time. How long can the two of them stay together?

When Liu Di gets old and ugly, will Catherine still love him and stay by his side?

Wouldn't the aging Liu Di have bad thoughts when he sees his still young and beautiful wife?
Liu Tong looked away and, while enjoying her meal, began to tell Liu Di about their experiences over the years.

There's not much to say about Liu Tong, except that the passing of Grandpa Liu and Father Liu saddened Liu Di for a moment.

Liu Di was very eloquent, and he recounted his experiences as if they were from a novel.

Liu Di recounted her experiences in the Western world in more detail, some of which surprised even Liu Tong.

Liu Dong: "Sherlock Holmes?"

Liu Di: "Yes, Mr. Holmes is the most famous detective in England. He is very intelligent and knowledgeable. I was fortunate enough to meet him once. Thanks to Mr. Holmes, I was not arrested by Scotland Yard as a murderer."

Liu Dong's eyes lit up instantly, and she almost jumped up: "Sherlock Holmes? Sherlock Holmes?"

Now it was Liu Di's turn to be surprised: "You know Mr. Sherlock Holmes?"

Liu Tong: "Ah, ah, I've heard people talk about him. They say Mr. Holmes is a detective who has solved many difficult problems."

Liu Di: "Has Mr. Holmes's fame even reached the Land of Rabbits?"

Liu Tong nodded: "Mhm."

Although it was decades later.

Liu Tong was filled with excitement and wanted to buy a ship ticket immediately to go to Europe and see the living Sherlock Holmes.

But then Liu Di sighed, "It's a pity Mr. Holmes has disappeared. Some people say he's dead."

Liu Tong: What? Missing? Does that mean we'll never see them again?

Liu Dong sat back down in her original seat, looking dejected.

Liu Tong: "Big brother, do you know any famous people in Europe?"

Liu Di: "Huh? No. And even if that person is famous in Europe, nobody in our country knows him. Not everyone is Mr. Sherlock Holmes."

Liu Tong: "That's true."

The two talked and ate, and ended up finishing all the dishes on the table.

The two ate to their hearts' content, and Catherine was also very satisfied.

She had heard Liu Di say that some people in China used zoology to cook, and she was eager to try it.

Now that I've tasted it, I know Liu Di wasn't exaggerating; it really is that delicious. (End of Chapter)
