I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 478 How's the feel? (2-in-1 6k)

Hearing Mei Mengqian's words, Jiang Yingzhu decided to crack a joke, patting her face and saying:
"It's all Li Yan's fault!"

Mei Mengqian and the other woman guessed the same thing, but they were still curious about how Li Yan had bullied Zhuzhu.

Mei Mengqian's doll.

I thought to myself that I hadn't blushed at all this morning.

Hua Junshu glanced at Jiang Yingzhu and blurted out what was on his mind.

"What did Li Yan do?"

"Let's name the puppies."

Upon hearing this, both she and Mei Mengqian's eyes lit up slightly.

"Has Li Yan's dog arrived yet?"

I and Hua Junshu got up relatively early and had heard Li Yan mention it.

"We've arrived. Li Yan named it Twelve."

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu were both intelligent people, and they immediately figured out the origin of the name.

I didn't feel anything was wrong, so I got up and went downstairs to check on the dog.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu looked conflicted.

She was worried that Li Yan might let slip something she'd said and cause her to get herself into trouble.

If I don't follow along, I'm worried they'll gossip about me behind my back.

In the end, Jiang Yingzhu decided to go ahead.

If she doesn't go down, wouldn't it make her seem scared?
When Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu came outside, they saw that Li Yan had somehow gotten a deck chair outside, and the sunlight was shining on him.

Beside him was a stool with a plate of snacks and a basket of juicy strawberries on it.

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu's gazes lingered on the strawberries for a moment, before they could speak.

Jiang Yingzhu's voice came from behind, "Fine, Li Yan, you let me eat the leftovers while you enjoy them here!"

Jiang Yingzhu looked at the basket of strawberries. Each one was plump and bright, large and juicy, and twice the size of a small steamed bun.

One bite and it feels like pure bliss!
"You even sent Qinbao away so you could enjoy yourself, how despicable!"

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu nodded, "That's right!"

Now they're hiding all the good food; I don't even want to think about what will happen in the future.

Li Yan turned his head and glanced at them, then shrugged.

"I didn't buy this; it was just delivered by Mr. Zhuang from across the street."

Hearing this, the three nodded. Ever since Li Yan had given them vegetables a few times...
Boss Zhuang then started to curry favor, mostly by inviting them to dinner.

But they were too lazy to go.

I didn't expect they'd start giving things away now.

"Li Yan, are the strawberries delicious?"

Jiang Yingzhu stood next to Li Yan with her bowl in hand, not waiting for his reply.

"Let me try it for you."

"I'll try it for you too."

"give me one."

The three of them chatted amongst themselves, each picking up a strawberry.

The strawberries looked big, and they did indeed feel that way when held in the hand.

It's a bit heavier than normal, and you can smell a faint fragrance as soon as you bring it to your lips.

Take a bite, and it's sweet, sour, and juicy.

It's so comfortable that it makes you squint your eyes.

"Delicious! What kind of strawberry is this?" Jiang Yingzhu asked.

"A beautiful woman adds fragrance to the air," Mei Mengqian replied. "I've had this once before, I remember it was called this."

"Then let's buy some next time."

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu nodded in agreement.

They do buy some fruit regularly, from the fruit shop near the school gate.

There are usually only seasonal fruits available there.

It's not that we've never had strawberries, it's just that none of them look this high-end.

Having satisfied their appetites, Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu finally remembered their purpose for coming down.

Their gaze shifted to the courtyard, and they began searching.

Soon, they saw the two little ones playing around.

Laba, who is already an adult cat, is a size larger than the black dog Twelve, who just arrived.

They are currently playing with the little black cat.

Laba releases the twelfth dog that it has knocked down, letting it run around barking. Then, with a burst of strength, he quickly catches up and knocks it down, repeating this process over and over.

"Playing with rats on Laba Festival seems to be the same thing," Mei Mengqian said.

The area is surrounded by fields and Feiyun Mountain, so it's impossible for it not to have rats.

However, they didn't have any at home, but Mei Mengqian had seen a mouse being pulled out of the field several times on Laba Festival.

"Yes. Qinbao's dog next door likes to look for poop in the ground. Laba likes to look for mice."

Jiang Yingzhu ate strawberries while watching the play, trying to steer the conversation further away from the main topic.

"Li Yan, your dog won't eat poop, will it? Do you think it might fight with Dou Dou next door over a pile of poop?"

Jiang Yingzhu felt like laughing.

Li Yan gave her a meaningful look.

"Yes, it's really troublesome. I hope my son won't have to go through this for a bite to eat in the future."

Jiang Yingzhu suddenly lost her smile.

Mei Mengqian felt that these words were a bit strange, and how the topic suddenly shifted from dogs to Li Yan's future child.

Although many people treat their dogs like sons.

However, Mei Mengqian didn't sense that Li Yan was like that.

Just as she was about to ask Li Yan why he brought this up, Hua Junshu suddenly spoke up.

"It must be a teaching session."

Hua Junshu pointed to the Laba Festival and the twelfth of the lunar calendar at this moment.

"Laba didn't keep catching Twelve. Instead, after catching it once, it would run a couple of steps and let Twelve chase it. However, Twelve didn't seem to move much and always looked dazed."

The group chatted about their two pets, one big and one small, while eating strawberries.

In the blink of an eye, the whole basket of strawberries was gone.

Jiang Yingzhu let out a burp and went back to wash the dishes.

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu brought out two chairs and, taking advantage of the good sunshine, began to do their homework.

Jiang Yingzhu came out after washing the dishes and saw this scene. She looked miserable and went to get a stool to do her homework.

"Two essays, six test papers, and ten pages of practice questions. I seriously suspect the teacher even added the homework from the two days of the sports meet!"

Hua Junshu knows how to comfort people, therefore he says:

"I have twice as many as you."

"Oh, senior, you only brought out one composition book."

"I finished the rest during self-study yesterday evening."

“I’ve already finished half of my homework during evening self-study,” Mei Mengqian said.

Jiang Yingzhu felt the blow, but she had already gotten used to it.

She did her homework during evening self-study yesterday, but not much.

Of all these assignments, physics was the one she was most worried about.

Every time the physics teacher assigns homework, he creates the questions himself.

It's not just difficult, it's extremely difficult.

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up, and she thought of giving half of her homework, except for physics, to her senior.

"Hey senior~"

Li Yan glanced at her and knew without even thinking what she was up to.

There was no intention to stop it.

Hua Junshu also noticed her thoughts.

"can."

"That's great!"

Three girls were doing their homework when Grandma Tian next door finished hanging up her laundry and called TuTu out to do her homework as well.

"Teach your older brothers and sisters to do this!"

"Grandma, Brother Li Yan hasn't done his homework."

TuTu, holding her phone, seemed a little reluctant, and pointed at Li Yan, who was leisurely sunbathing on a deck chair.

Li Yan looked at Xiao Tutu and said, "Tutu, your brother is first in the grade. The first place doesn't have to do homework."

"Really?" TuTu's eyes lit up.

Li Yan thought for a moment and decided not to mention the city rankings, so as not to put pressure on the children.

"of course it's true."

TuTu immediately went to get her homework with great enthusiasm.

Li Yan was watching videos, playing with dogs and cats, and eating snacks, constantly disturbing Jiang Yingzhu and the others' Daoist concentration.

To prevent Jiang Yingzhu and the others from talking about him, Li Yan gave them a sweet treat.

"Hurry up and write, then we'll have a picnic by the river this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu, who was troubled by a problem, immediately had an idea.

Mei Mengqian, who was slowly savoring the reading comprehension, slightly gathered her thoughts.

Hua Junshu then sped up his writing.

Li Yan's gaze swept over her exam paper, and he was filled with amazement.

He felt that he couldn't copy answers as quickly as his senior.

A science problem is like an ant that she can manipulate at will.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian were probably doing their homework, but the senior seemed to be enjoying herself.

Give yourself a mental massage with your homework.

Because he didn't have to think too much, Hua Junshu noticed Li Yan's gaze, so he looked up and met his eyes with a puzzled expression.

"Senior, do you think you can get full marks just by stepping on the answer sheet?"

Hua Junshu looked away. "No, I guess I'll pass."

Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu exchanged a silent glance.

In the afternoon, at the riverside park.

Li Yan brought three young women and a girl from next door to have a picnic here.

Jiang Yingzhu was carrying a rooster, Mei Mengqian was carrying a large bottle of cola, and Hua Junshu was carrying some seasonings.

The other cooking utensils were in Li Yan's possession.

The group set up a small pot, and Hua Junshu immediately started making chicken stew.

Li Yan took out the mushrooms, potatoes, and some cilantro he had picked from the field.

"Add them all in."

"it is good."

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian assisted their senior.

Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, TuTu, who had followed along, asked:

"Brother Li Yan, what are you doing with the paint?"

"Go and help your brother rent a set of fishing gear over there."

Li Yan touched the nearest senior student and took out a hundred yuan from her pocket.

"Go rent a set of fishing gear, and you can use it to buy some snacks yourself."

"Okay." TuTu ran towards the dock.

Jiang Yingzhu withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Yan.

"How does it feel?"

"pretty good."

Hua Junshu glanced at him, his gaze shifting slightly.

"I meant money," Jiang Yingzhu snorted.

Li Yan looked completely bewildered. "I was talking about money too."

Hua Junshu's gaze froze, and she stopped looking at him.

Mei Mengqian looked with some concern in the direction Tu Tu had left.
"Will it be alright if she goes alone?"

"rest assured."

Li Yan shook his head, his divine sense following Tu Tu the whole time.

The little guy arrived at the fishing gear rental point without any mishaps.

Fishing gear rental only requires a 50 yuan deposit. The owner took the money and handed the gear to the little guy.

"Little kid, you're an adult, can you carry all of this yourself?"

"I can take it!"

TuTu was very assertive and didn't answer the boss's previous question at all.

"Alright, remember to tell your parents that it costs five yuan per hour."

TuTu nodded, then noticed an uncle staring at her from the side.

Without saying a word, she turned and ran.

Li Yan smiled; the little guy was quite clever.

He scanned the man with his divine sense and saw the powder, handkerchief, and rope in the man's pocket.

Her divine sense casually circled around the man's head.

The next moment, to the astonishment of the fishing tackle shopkeeper, the man's face turned red, he struggled to breathe, and he pulled out a packet of white powder and began to inhale it frantically.

Those around them changed their expressions upon seeing this.

"Where did this drug addict come from? He's such an eyesore."

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out, followed by a long fishing rod that swung down and knocked the man who was inhaling the drug to the ground.

Everyone looked over and saw a boy of about seventeen or eighteen holding a fishing rod, looking at the man who had been knocked down with a cold and indifferent expression.

Among the crowd, a woman's eyes flashed with admiration and amazement.

The men who were about to make their move looked regretful.

These days, there aren't many opportunities to legitimately beat someone up.

"Brother Bai, you're really skilled!" Meng Weiyang clapped and praised.

On the other side, Qian Jiarou said with a regretful expression:

"It's a pity that Shaoxuan doesn't have a position yet, otherwise you would have made a contribution."

"It's all the same." Bai Shaoxuan smiled faintly, stepping over the man on the ground.

"Let's go fishing. I heard there's a riverside fish restaurant nearby, so we can eat right there."

After arriving at No. 6 Middle School, Bai Shaoxuan immediately got a general understanding of the surrounding area.

For him, among eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, he could only indulge in the 'eating' part.

So, taking advantage of the holiday, I brought a few people I knew to fish here.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiarou and her companion quickly followed, but they didn't forget to make a phone call to have someone deal with the drug addict on the ground.

Bai Shaoxuan arrived at the dock and casually found a fishing spot to sit down.

Meng Weiyang and Qian Jiarou stayed by her side.

Bai Shaoxuan casually asked, "I asked you to meet Ye Hui in person, why didn't she come?"

"It's said they're busy with something. It seems that Qiqi Company is planning to lease a mountain here and find local bigwigs to smooth things over."

As Qian Jiarou spoke, a hint of envy and jealousy flashed deep in her eyes, while she gritted her teeth inwardly.

"She's busy with important matters, so naturally I'll be the one to relay the message to you, Shaoxuan."

Bai Shaoxuan didn't take the barb in her words to heart; instead, he became interested in what Ye Hui was going through.

"Buy a mountain? I heard that the medicinal herb merchants that Qiqi Company cooperates with are raising prices on the spot, and the rural crop bases they invested in have also been harassed by the locals several times. It seems that they will have to do it themselves."

"Ye Hui is lucky to be able to handle these things now."

A hint of envy flashed in his eyes, but he wasn't in a hurry.

After all, his path doesn't lie in business.

"It's okay that you didn't get to meet anyone. I met up with a friend I made in Beijing before. I didn't expect her to come to No. 6 Middle School too. What a coincidence."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiarou became secretly wary and couldn't help but ask.

"Who is it?"

"You'll get to know her when she arrives."

As Bai Shaoxuan spoke, he couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the dock.

Then he froze.

He saw Jiang Xinyue, whom he had invited, walking towards the dock with a handsome and refined young man carrying a fishing gear.

Beside them was Jiang Yingzhu, who had performed exceptionally well at the sports meet.

Bai Shaoxuan had paid special attention to this girl.

Therefore, he also recognized the boy next to the girl.

Li Yan, the student council president of the school.

My family is in the food industry; it's a nationwide chain.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Bai Shaoxuan stood up and went to greet Jiang Xinyue.

"Xinyue, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I ran into a classmate, so we came together."

Jiang Xinyue said casually, glancing around.

"Weren't we supposed to be having a whole fish feast? Why are we still fishing?"

Bai Shaoxuan coughed, "Let's play first, and we'll eat if we can't catch anything."

His gaze then fell on the simple fishing gear that Li Yan had rented.

"Your classmate also fishes? Can you catch anything with this?"

Li Yan had some things at home, and in his opinion, he could say a few words to them.

Bai Shaoxuan then gestured to his fishing gear.

"Hey classmate, take a look at my Daiwa fishing rod. It's made of high-density carbon fiber, ultra-light and ultra-hard, with great toughness and accurate casting."

"There is also the Chaoyu multi-functional fishing box, with a carbon fiber textured shell, four-legged lifting, wheel design, integrated bait compartment, and support holes."

Bai Shaoxuan raised an eyebrow and said, as if showing off:
"These fishing tools have to be good, otherwise the fish will get away. Look at my nano-coated fishing line, it has high tensile strength and is wear-resistant! No matter how big the fish is, it won't get away!"

"And the fishing hooks and floats also need to be chosen carefully."

He talked at length, then looked at the simple bucket and the fishing rod in Li Yan's hand, which were no different from a bamboo pole.

"Is this your first time fishing, classmate? Renting a boat is a good option."

Jiang Yingzhu, who was standing next to Li Yan, looked completely bewildered, not understanding what this guy was babbling about.

Jiang Xinyue listened with a smile on her face.

Actually, she didn't understand either. She and Bai Shaoxuan had only met during a previous school exchange program.

She heard that someone was treating her to dinner, so she went out since she had nothing to do at home.

Of course, the most important thing is that Bai Shaoxuan himself is worth recognizing.

Otherwise, no matter how much time she had, she wouldn't waste it on others.

However, there was an unexpected bonus.

TuTu tilted her head back and asked curiously:

"Brother, did you catch any fish?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shaoxuan was immediately speechless.

"My brother just arrived and hasn't had time yet. You watch, he'll be able to catch the fish soon."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan shook his head, found a place to stand, cast his line into the water, and didn't even put bait in.

Bai Shaoxuan had an intelligent system that provided alerts, so he watched from the side and offered guidance.

"You're not going to do this, buddy. Fishing requires patience and dedication. If you don't bait the hook and don't bring a stool, you won't be able to stand up for more than five minutes."

"really."

Li Yan nodded, and the next moment the buoy sank, the water rippled, and the fishing rod swayed.

"They're up there?!" Bai Shaoxuan exclaimed in surprise, looking at the water.

Just then, a white line broke through the water and tumbled back down.

Bai Shaoxuan had sharp eyes; the fish was a full forearm long.

"catfish!"

He was a little surprised. "Dude, this thing is strong. Take it easy. I'll go grab the net."

"Need not."

As Li Yan spoke, he raised his arm and flicked it, sending the large catfish flying into the air before it crashed onto the dock.

The sight made the eyelids of several fishermen who had come over to join in the fun twitch.

"Zhuzhu, that's a wrap."

Li Yan caught the catfish, put it in the bucket, and left with his things.

Jiang Yingzhu came here to fish and didn't want to leave.

One is enough.

"No, I haven't played yet."

Bai Shaoxuan raised an eyebrow at these words.

He thought to himself, "You're talking as if you can actually catch it."

Seeing this, Li Yan handed her the fishing rod.

"Alright, one shot, that's the most I can do."

"Oh."

Jiang Yingzhu didn't plan to fish for long. Li Yan had caught a fish in just one minute, so she felt she could do it too.

So he secretly set a goal for himself.

If the fish doesn't come up in a minute, I won't eat.

Five minutes later, the water surface was calm.

Jiang Yingzhu thought to herself how despicable it was, while Bai Shaoxuan and the others found it amusing.

A fragrant aroma wafted through the air, and Jiang Yingzhu knew the chicken stew was almost ready.

So he began chanting incantations and performing a ritual: "Fish, fish, come up quickly, come up quickly, the world up there is wonderful~"

She started humming as she recited it.

The people around her started giving her strange looks, even TuTu's eyes looked odd.

Li Yan didn't want to stand there like a fool anymore.

His divine sense swept across the water's surface.

The float immediately moved.

"Have it!"

Jiang Yingzhu was pleasantly surprised. She lifted the fishing rod, and a small white fish was pulled out of the water, swaying slightly.

"It's so small, it'll be just right after baking."

Jiang Yingzhu sighed, silently turning her one-minute vow into ten minutes.

She caught a fish within ten minutes, and she could eat!

Bai Shaoxuan, standing to the side, looked utterly shocked.

Looking at that white note, isn't this the correct one?
You'll go up if she sings?
Moreover, this girl looks completely clueless; how could she possibly catch fish?

"New player protection period, it must be a new player protection period!"

He muttered to himself quietly, without attracting much attention from others.

Li Yan and his men prepared to leave.

Jiang Xinyue saw that she hadn't been invited, so she didn't follow along.

Instead, he found a small stool, sat down, and leisurely glanced at Bai Shaoxuan.

"Bai Shaoxuan, when will you be able to serve the fish?"

"Uh"

Bai Shaoxuan glanced at the sky. "Evening?"

"Your stuff is so high-end, you can only catch fish in the evening?"

"Hey, this has nothing to do with equipment."

"Then why are you doing all this? Isn't it... you know?" Jiang Xinyue asked, puzzled, and seemed about to leave.

"Ahem, actually there is some connection. After all, we're classmates, so please give me some face."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue glanced at the lawn by the river in the distance.

The fragrance was coming from over there.

It seems that Li Yan and the other two also went there.

It smells so good! She ate something before she came out, but now she's hungry.

Bai Shaoxuan noticed her gaze and assumed she was bored while waiting.

Actually, he had arranged to go fishing with Qian Jiarou and others in the morning, and they would probably be able to eat the fish in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, he spent some time choosing fishing gear in the morning.

So he said, "Xinyue, if you're bored, go for a stroll. I'll call you when I catch some fish."

"also."

Jiang Xinyue got up, intending to wander around and perhaps bump into him by chance, so that she wouldn't be the one shamelessly following him.

Fifteen minutes later, on the lawn by the river.

There were many people on the lawn, and most of them were paying attention to one spot.

Some people brought children, and the kids started making a fuss.

Some people even went to a certain place, only to return disappointed.

Following the scent and the direction of the crowd, Jiang Xinyue saw Li Yan and others.

A woman with a great figure was cooking something next to them.

Li Yan was squatting in front of a small grill, grilling fish.

Jiang Yingzhu and the children were playing there.

Jiang Xinyue naturally walked over and greeted them.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

She paused, then used her ancestral ability to intermittently lose her sight, "Jiang Yingzhu, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yingzhu seemed unaware that she could see him, and replied:
"We're having a picnic, Xinyue, do you want to join us?"

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xinyue would have simply declined and left.

But this is different now; this stew smells really good.

Moreover, as a Chinese woman, she never lacked theories and old sayings to convince herself.

Breaking the rules occasionally can help build closer relationships. I'm not greedy; I'm just trying to improve our relationship.

Jiang Xinyue silently told herself this, and then happily agreed.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Jiang Yingzhu didn't think much of her and pointed to an open space.

"Xinyue, find a place to sit. We'll play a game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)."

After some time, Hua Junshu finished making the chicken stew.

Jiang Yingzhu and the others had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Hua Junshu took a bowl and served one portion to Li Yan, followed by Zhu Zhu, Meng Meng, Tu Tu, and Jiang Xinyue.

Jiang Xinyue had just figured out Hua Junshu's identity.

"Thank you, senior sister."

"You're welcome."

Jiang Xinyue smiled but didn't say anything, glancing at Li Yan's bowl.

Can't help but wonder.

It's strange, all three of them seem to have a very special relationship with Li Yan.

But why is there so little meat in Li Yan's bowl?

He shook his head inwardly, thinking he was overthinking things.

After Jiang Yingzhu and the others started eating.

Jiang Xinyue also got to work.

Her eyes lit up at the first bite, and the bowl of chicken stew in her eyes suddenly seemed to glow.

"good to eat."

Jiang Xinyue completely forgot about the purpose of building good relationships; she just came to freeload.

Really fragrant!

She took a bite of potato and her eyes widened suddenly.

How come potatoes taste even better than meat!
After finishing her meal, Jiang Xinyue received a message from Bai Shaoxuan.

Bai Shaoxuan: Xinyue, come quick! We caught a fish! A big fish!

Jiang Xinyue: No.
Bai Shaoxuan: ?

Jiang Xinyue: Li Yan's food is delicious.
Jiang Xinyue: I'm full.
Bai Shaoxuan:
Monday arrived in the blink of an eye, and Li Yan received a text message.

Hua Junshu: Tomorrow is my birthday. You have to listen to me. Here's the condition.
