At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

After leaving the Demon Slayer Division, it was already getting late.

Mu Yang led Xiao Hei through the gates of Qinghe County.

Lanterns were lit on both sides of the main street, illuminating the dark sky.

The aroma of food wafted from every household.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, Mu Yang did not rush back to the courtyard of the county government office, but instead led Xiao Hei to the Jixiang Restaurant.

Hu Deshui was still working at the restaurant, but he seemed to be doing quite well, having been promoted from waiter to head waiter.

That is, the position of lobby manager in a hotel in my previous life.

"Master Mu, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Mu Yang, Hu Deshui immediately put down the account book in his hand and jogged over with a smile.

After a hearty meal, Mu Yang tossed down a silver ingot and led Xiao Hei back to the county government compound.

After resting for a night, Mu Yang went to the county government office early in the morning. Finding that Dai Wang was not there, Mu Yang bought some pastries and went to Dai Wang's residence.

After chatting casually for a while, and then being invited to stay for lunch by the enthusiastic Dai Wang, Mu Yang finally left the Dai residence.

Just as he was leaving Dai Wang's house and heading towards Qin Yuan's house, he happened to see two acquaintances.

"Brother Mu!"

The "acquaintance" also saw Mu Yang and greeted him warmly.

It was Lei Sai, whom we hadn't seen in a long time.

Right now, he is holding a bag of freshly roasted chestnuts, and next to him are two women, one tall and one short.

The taller one with a ponytail is Lei Sai's older sister, Lei Jiaojiao.

The shorter one was somewhat unfamiliar.

It was a little girl wearing a light blue dress, who looked to be only about 1.45 meters tall, barely reaching Lei Sai's chest.

With a round face and her hair tied in two buns, she was pouting as she asked Lei Jiaojiao to break chestnuts for her.

Upon hearing Lei Sai's call, the two of them looked at Mu Yang.

"Brother Mu, you've been gone for so long this time. Did you encounter some troublesome monster?"

Lei Sai asked curiously.

"It's not exactly troublesome, it's just that the journey takes a bit long," Mu Yang said. "By the way, who is this...?"

Mu Yang originally wanted to ask if the little girl was their sister, but for some reason, when he saw the girl's watery eyes, he felt that there was a calmness in her eyes that was not quite in line with her age.

Thinking about the "Health Preservation and Meridian Unblocking Method" that he had just redeemed, Mu Yang had a bold guess in his mind.

Could this be the legendary old hag who looks like a little girl but is actually much older?

"she is....."

Just as Lei Jiaojiao was about to speak while she was peeling chestnuts, the little girl interrupted her:

"Big brother, Xingxing is a real little kid, you can't look at me like that, right, Sister Jiaojiao, Brother Saisai~~~"

Lei Xing's voice was very clear and crisp, almost indistinguishable from that of a six or seven-year-old child.

only......

Mu Yang always felt that a normal little girl wouldn't talk like that... right?

Mu Yang looked at Lei Jiaojiao and Lei Sai.

The two looked embarrassed and conflicted.

Lei Sai opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he immediately shut his mouth after Lei Xing looked over with his big, dark eyes.

Lei Sai: Grandma's eyes are so scary. Oh well, whatever Grandma says goes.

Lei Jiaojiao: She's clearly my dad's aunt, but now she's pretending to be my sister. What a pretentious old woman!

"Sister Jiaojiao, what are you thinking about~~"

Lei Xing's voice rang out slowly, and Lei Jiaojiao trembled. She suddenly remembered the "torture" that this great-aunt had given to her and her brother the day before yesterday after she returned.

They call it "special training."

In reality, they treated them like pets!

That's even worse than what she did to Lei Sai!

Lei Sai: So you know you've gone too far, sis!!

The key point is that this great-aunt is very powerful; even her father is manipulated by her.

It's so annoying...

"It's nothing, Xingxing, come on, have some chestnuts, ah~~" Despite her inner complaints, Lei Jiaojiao still cooperated wholeheartedly with Lei Xing's performance, stuffing the peeled chestnuts into Lei Xing's mouth.

Looking at Lei Jiaojiao, who seemed like a caring older sister, Mu Yang suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Judging from her appearance, this little girl is indeed quite extraordinary.

However, Mu Yang didn't ask any more questions. He could tell that although Lei Sai and Lei Jiaojiao were obedient, they were not being coerced. It was most likely just playful banter between acquaintances.

Lei Sai: It was indeed just playing around, but the grandma was the one making the fuss, and we were the ones being played.

"By the way, Lei Sai, are you free tonight? How about we grab some dinner?" Mu Yang invited.

He had originally planned to go find Qin Yuan first to see if the team members were resting.

If so, we can have a meal together.

After all, without doing any missions, he really didn't know what else he could do for the time being.

"OK!"

Lei Sai nodded repeatedly, eager to leave immediately.

Lei Xing, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes as if she wanted to say something, but Lei Jiaojiao pressed her head down and said, "Alright, Xingxing, your brother Lei Sai has plans tonight. I'll keep you company while you continue shopping."

"Remember to come home early tonight."

Lei Jiaojiao took the roasted chestnuts from Lei Sai's arms and gave him instructions.

"Thank you, sis! You're so kind!"

Lei Sai was deeply moved, never expecting his older sister to speak up for him.

I've decided, I'll never call my sister a tigress who can't get married again!!

"Let's go together then, we can go find Captain Qin and the others."

After saying goodbye to the Lei sisters, Mu Yang left with a happy Lei Sai.

Only after the two figures disappeared did Lei Xing's voice drift back again: "Little darling, doesn't my head feel nice to rub?"

Lei Jiaojiao's smile froze, and she quietly raised her hand to rub her head, but Lei Xing grabbed it.

"It's decided, shopping is off. Let's go training together instead. How about a 20-mile underwater breath-holding, obstacle-free circumnavigation? Hmm, let's also eat some venom sacs from a Tier 3 snake demon to liven things up, and it'll also help increase your venom resistance..."

"By the way, we absolutely can't skip the impact resistance training. I'll reluctantly take charge myself. It'll be perfect to do it together with the shuttle swim, which will save us time and effort."

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that expression? You should know your grandma is the Supreme Elder of the Anling Prefecture's Fenshui Sect, the former sect leader's personal disciple, a super expert at the sixth-level Qi Opening Realm! Countless people want to train with me but can't get one! You should be secretly happy!"

"Besides, having such a cute little girl like me by your side is such a pleasant sight, isn't it, my little darling~~"

Lei Jiaojiao: Brother, it's urgent, come back immediately!!!

..................

On the other side, Lei Sai, unaware of the turmoil her older sister was about to endure, was humming a little tune as she walked towards Qin Yuan's house with Mu Yang.

"By the way, Brother Mu!"

Lei Sai seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Mu Yang with a conflicted expression. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said, "Xingxing, oops, Lei Xing is not actually my sister, but my great-aunt, well, my father's aunt, and my grandfather's sister."

However, after he finished speaking, the expected shocked expression on Mu Yang's face did not appear.

Mu Yang simply nodded and hummed in response.

"Brother Mu, aren't you surprised?"

"What's strange?"

"Even though my great-aunt is so old, she looks like a child."

"Isn't it a method of preserving youth through cultivation?"

"Um...that's true..."

"That settles it."

Lei Sai: ..........

Wait a minute, Brother Mu, your reaction is very wrong!

Shouldn't you be extremely surprised and repeatedly confirm?

Mu Yang: Why don't you ask again?

Lei Sai:............
