816: Chapter 528 816: Chapter 528 The quiet people, during their meal there was only the sound of chewing, as if they felt that the food was too delicious to finish, fearing that there would be none left on the table, and also feeling that they had never tasted such delicious food before.
The rice, which the people in their village also cultivated, was just not as tasty and fragrant as the rice they were eating now.
They admired the Immortals, not daring to stare continuously, only the children with their innocent gazes continued to watch the elders eat as they ate.
They always felt there was something different about the way Immortals ate.
According to legend, there were only seven fairies in heaven, but today, they had seen eleven fairies, including one from their village.
Cai Xiangxiang’s sister-in-law and her family felt extremely lucky to have the legendary sister-in-law visit them.
It was said that a few months ago, their community had suddenly become so wealthy and luxurious.
It was the talk of the town, with people wondering how the village had become so luxurious and affluent overnight.
Some said it must be the descent of an Immortal, possessed by a malevolent force.
There were all sorts of theories, and people were either pleased or worried by this eerie occurrence.
The relatives from Cai Xiangxiang’s sister-in-law’s maternal home, like other in-laws or relatives in the village, came over to show concern and inquire what was going on.
There were also those who, seeing their relatives becoming wealthy, came to borrow money or to seek some benefit.
However, their presence did not elicit a warm reception from their relatives; instead, they were ignored or even driven away.
Then, over these months, the news that the village had become wealthy and disowned other relatives spread quickly throughout the whole town, even reaching the county.
Many called them ungrateful or accused them of abandoning their relatives upon gaining wealth.
Some, unable to let it go, went to curse them out and ended up getting beaten.
Such a sudden change in circumstances was not accepted by many.
Angered, they treated the newly affluent villagers as villains who looked down on their relatives, and eventually ceased contact.
Cai Xiangxiang’s sister-in-law, whose mother’s and father’s relatives had cut ties a few months earlier, declared they no longer had such disgraceful relatives.
During an invitation for a meal by her elder sister-in-law, Cai Xiangxiang’s maternal relatives retorted, “Didn’t you say you no longer had our family?”
“Go away, our family no longer includes you!”
“Now that you are rich and have ceased contact, why bother inviting us?
Are you trying to deceive us some more?”
Cai Xiangxiang’s sister-in-law, wiping away her tears, said that they were harmed by the Western Wolf Demon, urging her maternal relatives to see if their village had reverted to its original state.
“Really, you’ve turned around and come back now?
You expect us to come for a meal and then ask us for a loan?”
The rich suddenly turned poor again, coming to the maternal home to take advantage.
“No, it’s not like that.
Our fairy sister has returned, and the whole village is cooking a feast to celebrate.
Besides, our fairy elder sister is planning to take us far away soon.
If you don’t come to gather for the meal, it might become very difficult to meet again.”
Cai Xiangxiang’s sister-in-law’s words left her maternal relatives skeptical, but eventually, they decided to believe and make the short trip.
If it turned out to be a ruse, they would just have to swallow the loss.
Moreover, the aroma of delicious food and meat could be smelled even from the neighboring village.
Other relatives who had connections with that village were also curious and wanted to see what was happening.
They didn’t have time to explain to others, believing that seeing is believing.
Having a chance to partake in such a delicious meal, even if deceived, would be worth it.
Upon arriving at Cai Family Village, they discovered that what Cai Xiangxiang’s sister-in-law had said was true.
The whole village was gathering around, preparing a grand meal at the in-law’s house.
Their timing was perfect, arriving just in time to join the feast.
Entering inside, indeed, as Cai Xiangxiang’s sister-in-law had said, there were Immortals present, and so many of them.
It felt like the legends were true, that someone from this in-law family had joined the Immortal Sect and now the Immortals were returning.
It wasn’t just about recognizing ancestry, but also about leading their entire family to prosperity.
It seemed they also wanted to take the whole family to become Immortals.
Everyone’s gaze was filled with envy; relatives and family members also longed to become Immortals.
Even if the older generation couldn’t, surely the children could?
This was the thought among the people of Cai Family Village, as well as Cai Family relatives.
For many years, only one girl in their village had the ability for Cultivation.
They waited, and after more than ten years, they finally saw the return of this fairy, hoping she would lead their children in Cultivation.
They knew, becoming an Immortal wasn’t easy.
If one had the Spiritual Root, there would be no need to wait.
Mortals marrying mortals, it was rare for a miracle to occur.
Just like in their county, so far only Cai Xiangxiang, after over ten years, had the ability to become someone significant.
Cai Xiangxiang could lead her family and village children, or those of relatives, in becoming Immortals.
They looked forward to the possibility that, in more than ten years, their children could become Immortals too.
It would absolutely bring honor to their ancestors and elevate their family to a flourishing peak.
Watching Cai Xiangxiang so beautiful and pure, the Immortals she brought also seemed like kind beings.
Mortals aren’t highly capable, but there’s a certain sense in distinguishing the good from the bad.
