Two childish voices grew louder as they approached from outside the house. 

“Who cares if she lives or dies, if she’s alive, she will just steal our food!” 

“Second Brother, keep your voice down. You… you shouldn’t talk about our Eldest Sister like that.” 

Then, two thin figures entered the room. 

They both looked under ten years old, the girl was even younger. 

An oversized pea-green robe hung loosely on her body, and her brown-gray shoes were nearly hidden beneath ill-fitting pants legs, only revealing a clumsily stitched patch at the toe of the shoe, embroidered with crude mulberry leaf patterns.  

The little girl was carrying a white porridge bowl, her pale cheeks were sunken, but her almond-shaped eyes were clean and bright. 

Though she was malnourished, she was also very well-behaved and sensible. 

She took small steps into the room while reading aloud from a glowing book that hovered in front of her, her voice clear and precise.

“The Eighteen Techniques of Ditch Digging, First Technique Key Points: Bend both legs, keep the hoe close to the ground, gather spiritual energy from the dantian and raise it to the waist……”

As she drew closer, Su Jiu noticed a peach-pink mark in the middle of the girl’s snow-white forehead, as if it had been written there, [4959].

“Eldest sister, you’re awake?” The little girl finally shifted her gaze away from The Mulberry Cultivation Manual. She looked surprised and delighted to see Su Jiu in the wheelchair with her eyes open.

“Hmph.”

Behind her, a boy a head taller snorted coldly, turning his face away before sitting down on the floor near the communal bed, ignoring everyone. 

As he turned his head, a black mark was revealed on his left cheek, [2339]. 

On the collars of their clothes, nine strands of bright copper threads were woven together, each hanging a narrow wooden tag. 

[Su Zhizhi: Qi Refinement Stage, Level 3]

[Affiliation: Spirit Silkworm Pavilion, Mulberry Garden – Floor 1]

[Innate Skill: Leaf Cultivation (Inferior)]

[Su Xingchen: Qi Refinement Stage, Level 5]

[Affiliation: Spirit Silkworm Pavilion, Mulberry Garden – Floor 1]

[Innate Skill: Wood Attribute Enhancement (Proficient)]

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows.

Spirits silkworm, mulberry cultivation, Su Zhizhi…… 

Putting it all together… it seemed familiar.

Wasn’t this the male-oriented novel she had picked up in the apocalypse before, ‘Becoming a King Through Cultivation, Starting from the Path of Spirit Weaving’?

In the book’s cultivation world, there were Nine Great Paths: Farming, Weaving, Medicine, Commerce, Warfare, Literature, Cuisine, Entertainment, and Craftsmanship.

The novel’s male lead rose to power through the Path of Spirit Weaving. 

However, before his success, he relied entirely on his childhood sweetheart ‘Su Jiu’, who had entered the Spirit Silkworm Pavilion to cultivate alongside him. 

‘Su Jiu’ gave him all the cultivation resources left behind by her deceased parents, as well as everything her younger siblings earned from raising spirit silkworms. 

But he still thought it wasn’t enough, so she even sold her own spiritual blood and flesh to support him.

Yet, once he made a rapid progress in cultivation and raised the Medicine King Spirit Silkworm, he ruthlessly severed ties with his childhood sweetheart ‘Su Jiu’, who had never awakened her innate skills. 

In the end, ‘Su Jiu’ later died of illness in Spirit Silkworm Pavilion, where everything required money, and due to a lack of cultivation resources. 

Su Jiu: “……” 

Did she have transmigrated into this infuriating, lovestruck fool who sacrificed everything for a man?

”F*ck Zh……” Su Jiu couldn’t help but curse. 

But then, she glanced down at the little girl in front of her, Su Zhizhi, who had obediently taken a half-worn ink cushion and placed it behind her waist for support. 

She swallowed the rest of her words just in time. 

“That shitty male lead, ah… I mean, that bloodsucking Zhou Zhenhe, where is he now?”

Su Zhizhi froze for a moment, and even Su Xingchen, who was so frugal that he even refused to spend a single spirit stone and always sat on the ground. He paused his spiritual energy-infused handiwork.

In the novel, Spirit Silkworm Pavilion cultivated millennium old spirit mulberry trees and raised celestial silkworms. 

It became famous in the cultivation world for producing Ice Silk Cloud Brocade and Feathered Garments of Radiance. 

But the Su family’s three siblings were nothing more than low-ranking mulberry cultivators and silkworm breeders in the pavilion. 

They had to toil day and night just to earn meager spirit stones for cultivation resources. 

Su Xingchen’s hands moved very swiftly. In the short time since he came back, he had already woven a shallow, round-bottomed basket from mulberry bark for storing mulberry leaves. 

Because of Su Jiu’s interruption, Su Xingchen’s hands paused for a moment, but he quickly lowered his head again, pretending not to hear as he started weaving a second mulberry basket.
