The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

To his surprise, when he returned home, one of the oil lamps was still lit.

Ru Shuang held the child, gently rocking him as she paced back and forth.

Upon seeing the exhausted Jiang Chuan return, Ru Shuang immediately said softly, "You're back?"

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"There's still food on the stove..."

Chapter Twelve: A Smile That Could Topple a City

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and softly asked Ru Shuang, "You've been waiting for me to come back?"

Ru Shuang asked, "Didn't you say that the place where the irrigation canal is being built isn't far from the village? Will you be back tonight?"

"So, I thought you must be very tired after a long day of work, and I didn't want you to have to cook dinner when you got home, so I prepared some food in advance..."

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan looked at Ru Shuang with some surprise, not expecting her to do such a thing.

This flattered him a little.

In his mind, who was Ru Shuang? She was a notorious assassin from a certain organization, the highest-ranking one, who killed indiscriminately and regarded the lives of ordinary people as worthless.

As for himself, although he is a time traveler, apart from that identity, he is actually an ordinary person in every sense of the word.

How could an ordinary person like myself dare to trouble Ru Shuang to cook for him?

This is something I never even dared to imagine.

After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Ru Shuang smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. You've helped my daughter and me so much. I'm just doing what I can."

Jiang Chuan was stunned when he saw Ru Shuang's smile.

He had never seen Ru Shuang smile since he met her.

This was the first time the other person had smiled in a long time.

Her smile was so beautiful.

No wonder the smile is described as a ritual object among the seven weapons, the "Sword of Immortality".

This is indeed an extremely sharp weapon.

Ru Shuang's smile was like a sword, piercing Jiang Chuan's heart and leaving an unforgettable impression on him.

Ru Shuang didn't realize that she had inadvertently smiled at Jiang Chuan. She said softly to Jiang Chuan, "Alright, let's not talk so much. The food has been warm for a long time and is almost cold. Go and eat."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

Then he went to the kitchen and took out the food that was still warm on the stove.

Ru Shuang was a very good cook; the dishes she made were exquisite. Jiang Chuan took a bite and immediately found them delicious.

"good to eat."

He gave a very straightforward evaluation.

These words made Ru Shuang's ears turn slightly red.

For some reason, after the old village chief came here a few days ago and said those words, she always had some strange thoughts, and the way she looked at Jiang Chuan became completely different.

Aside from the fact that she genuinely wanted to find someone for her daughter to rely on and allow her to live a normal life.

Furthermore, through this period of time, she discovered that Jiang Chuan was indeed a very special person.

He was kind, intelligent, and hardworking, and completely different from the farmers who toiled in the fields. Although he was a villager from the mountains, he had a unique temperament that set him apart from everyone else.

In addition, Jiang Chuan possesses extraordinary talent.

He could master the sword techniques and internal energy cultivation methods he taught in just one night.

Such people were previously limited by their birth circumstances.

But if given a chance, he will rise like a dragon emerging from the abyss and soar to the heavens.

Jiang Chuan's kindness made Jing Ni think that he might be a good person to rely on.

However, Jiang Chuan's martial arts talent made Ru Shuang hesitate again.

Can such a person really be relied upon?

If given the chance, Jiang Chuan is destined to become an extraordinary person. But can marrying such a person really allow his daughter to live an ordinary life?

Besides, these are just my own thoughts.

Whether Jiang Chuan can accept the fact that she has given birth is still a question.

Moreover, marrying me means taking on the responsibility of caring for Yan'er.

Ru Shuang is not someone who likes to impose responsibility on others.

Of course, all these thoughts and these conflicting feelings only existed in Ru Shuang's heart.

Today, while Jiang Chuan went out to work, Ru Shuang, who stayed at home alone to take care of the children, also wanted to do what she could for Jiang Chuan.

Fortunately, she does know how to cook a few dishes.

I figured Jiang Chuan would be back that evening, so I prepared a few dishes and waited for him.

After finishing all the food that Ru Shuang had prepared, Jiang Chuan went to wash the dishes.

Then, let Ru Shuang go and rest early.

Ru Shuang nodded, indicating that she understood.

Over the next few days, Jiang Chuan went to work as usual.

At noon, he would just bring some dry food to tide him over, and when he returned in the evening, Ru Shuang would always have a meal ready and waiting for him to come back.

The first time, because she didn't know when Jiang Chuan would return, Ru Shuang ate some herself first and then saved some for Jiang Chuan.

From the second day onwards, Ru Shuang waited for Jiang Chuan to return before they would eat together.

This feeling made Jiang Chuan a little distracted. He picked up his chopsticks but didn't start eating. Instead, he couldn't help but sigh, "This feels more like home!"

In the past, Jiang Chuan was all alone. Although he owned a small thatched hut left by his parents, he didn't feel like he had a home.

This is a house, not a home.

A home is a place where family members are around.

Recently, with the arrival of Ru Shuang, and today, having dinner with Ru Shuang, Jiang Chuan suddenly had this feeling.

Even more so, a sentence came to mind in his heart.

The wife prepared dinner and waited for her husband to come home...

This situation perfectly illustrates just that.

However, due to Ru Shuang's identity, Jiang Chuan ultimately did not say the last sentence.

Even the first sentence, when it reached Ru Shuang's ears, made her slightly lost in thought.

"Home?"

Ru Shuang spoke softly.

She never imagined that this was what home was all about.

She quickly realized what was happening.

Yes, isn't this exactly the ordinary life I've been pursuing?

There were no dramatic ups and downs, no grandeur, only tranquility, and within that tranquility, a touch of warmth.

Chapter Thirteen: The Whereabouts of the Net

Time flew by, the irrigation canals in the village were completed, and Jiangchuan had some free time again.

During this time, because Ru Shuang would prepare dinner for him every day and wait for him to come home, the two of them developed a unique understanding, and their relationship became more and more familiar.

However, for some reason, neither of them took the initiative to break this unique relationship, and instead allowed it to continue.

To be precise, Jiang Chuan hadn't gone hunting in the mountains for quite some time since he met Ru Shuang.

We don't have much stock left at home.

He planned to go into the mountains to take a look.

Moreover, to be precise, this mountain range can be considered his precious land.

If it weren't for this mountain, he wouldn't have been able to meet Ru Shuang there, which changed his situation after transmigrating. He came into contact with martial arts, and someone else entered his world.

All of this happened so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Jiang Chuan had just climbed the mountain when he discovered a set of footprints on the mountain path.
