I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

As soon as Qiu Yan finished speaking, he heard the referee beside him say, "Now that both sides are in place, the game officially begins!"

After hearing this, Qiu Yan did not dare to be negligent, and directly materialized a 130-level spiritual seal and prepared for battle. When Liu Shumeng saw Qiu Yan unfold his battle posture, he did not do the same as Qiu Yan, but looked at Qiu Yan with a relaxed expression, then cupped his hands and said to Qiu Yan with a smile, "Miss, there is no need to be like this, I admit defeat."

"Admit defeat?" Qiu Yan was surprised to hear Liu Shumeng say these two words. He put away his posture and bowed to Liu Shumeng and asked, "Why do you want to admit defeat directly? From my feeling about you, your strength should be similar to mine."

Although Liu Shumeng did not materialize the spiritual seal, Qiu Yan could sense the fluctuation of spiritual power from him. The fluctuation of spiritual power in Liu Shumeng's body was similar to his, at least around level 130, so Qiu Yan did not understand why Liu Shumeng would admit defeat directly.

After hearing Qiu Yan's doubts, Liu Shumeng smiled and explained to Qiu Yan, "Although I do have some strength comparable to that of the young lady, I do not have as many spiritual weapons as the young lady. The young lady has four top-grade spiritual weapons on her body, three of which are defensive spiritual weapons, all of which are top-grade. With these three defensive spiritual weapons, even if the young lady stands wrong and lets me attack her, I will not be able to do anything to her. So since there is no way out, it is better to admit defeat early and save some time."

Hearing Liu Shumeng's rather Buddhist remarks, Qiu Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, Qiu Yan asked Liu Shumeng again, "Since you have come to participate in the Heavenly Competition, you must also want to fight for the opportunity to enter the secret realm, right? Don't you feel unwilling to give up without even fighting?"

"Haha!" After hearing Qiu Yan's words, Liu Shumeng smiled, then shook his head and said to Qiu Yan, "Miss, you think highly of me. With my strength, how can I dare to think about the secret realm? I am just here to join in the fun. Not only me, but also the thousands of people participating in the Tiansai this time, except for the top three, the last ones can only be regarded as joining in the fun, so even if I don't fight, I don't think it's a big deal."

It was the first time that Qiu Yan had seen such a Buddhist person. After listening to Liu Shumeng's explanation, Qiu Yan didn't know what to say. After Liu Shumeng finished explaining to Qiu Yan, he obviously didn't want to say anything more. He handed his competition token back to the referee and walked off the stage. Seeing Liu Shumeng leave the stage, Qiu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, but didn't think about it anymore, and turned around and walked off the stage.

After Qiuyan left the stage, the next group went on stage to compete. At this time, Qiuyan had already finished the first round of the competition, so he did not stay in the audience, but went directly to the audience to find Jin Ling'er. Because Qiuyan came too late, the audience was already full. Qiuyan, who had no seat, wanted to go back to the stage of group seven to watch the game, but Jin Ling'er directly asked Qiuyan to sit on the stone platform at her feet to watch the game. Qiuyan could not resist Jin Ling'er and had to compromise and sat at Jin Ling'er's feet.

A person with a heart armor in front and a green shield in the back sat in the crowded audience stand. It looked like a turtle standing in the audience stand. There were even children next to him who really called Qiu Yan a turtle. However, since Qiu Yan was a contestant, his strength was beyond words. Although most of the people in the audience stand were cultivators, most of them were not over level 100. So after hearing their own children calling Qiu Yan a turtle, the adults in the children's family quickly stopped the children and apologized to Qiu Yan with a horrified look. Qiu Yan didn't care what others said about him, let alone what children said about him, so when he heard the man's apology, Qiu Yan didn't say much, but just gave the man a harmless smile, as if to tell the man that he didn't care about it.

After watching a day's competition, Jin Ling'er and Qiu Yan returned to the inn together. Since Qiu Yan successfully advanced today, Jin Ling'er suggested that Qiu Yan celebrate well and not return until drunk, but Qiu Yan gave up the idea with just one look. After dinner, Jin Ling'er took a shower and changed clothes as usual, and Qiu Yan was ready to turn off the lights after entering the house to let Jin Ling'er rest, while he continued to practice. But just as Qiu Yan was about to turn off the lights, he was stopped by Jin Ling'er. "Wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Hearing what Jin Ling'er had to say, Qiu Yan was curious, then stopped turning off the lights, turned to look at Jin Ling'er and asked, "Tell me what you want to say!"

Hearing Qiu Yan's words, Jin Ling'er seemed a little shy, as if she was hesitating whether to say it or not, and seemed to be thinking about how to say it. Qiu Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw Jin Ling'er like this, and then said, "Okay! My Miss Jin, just say whatever you want to say, don't be shy, it makes me uncomfortable."

Qiu Yan's words were very direct, because he did not take into account that Jin Ling'er was a woman. Anyway, after getting along with Jin Ling'er for the past few days, Qiu Yan could be said to have understood Jin Ling'er's temper and personality. Although Jin Ling'er looks like a lady, she is actually a very bold person, which can be seen from the fact that she likes to drink. Moreover, she is not as petty as other women. She will not get angry because of some trivial things. Even if she is angry, she will be fine after a while. She will not have any woman's temper for no reason. Acting like a spoiled child has nothing to do with her at all. As for the irrational personality unique to women, although she also has that little bit, to be honest, Jin Ling'er is still relatively reasonable, unlike some girls who will make trouble. Moreover, although she is the daughter of the mansion owner, she does not have the airs of a young lady. Generally speaking, she is still a pretty easy person to get along with.

After Qiu Yan finished speaking, Jin Ling'er rolled her eyes at him in displeasure, and then stopped being shy and said to him directly, "I want to take a bath with the elixir you gave me to increase my cultivation speed."

After hearing what Jin Ling'er said, Qiu Yan stared at Jin Ling'er with a puzzled look on his face, as if he was waiting for Jin Ling'er's next words, but after waiting for a long time, Jin Ling'er didn't say anything. Instead, Jin Ling'er was staring at him after she finished speaking, as if she was waiting for his answer. Qiu Yan couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw this, thinking that I have already given you those things, and they are already yours. Since they are yours, you can use them however you want, why are you asking me?

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan jokingly said to Jin Ling'er, "Um... my future wife, haven't I already given you those things? And you said yourself that those things are my betrothal gifts. Since they are your betrothal gifts, you can do whatever you want with them. Why are you asking me? Do you regret having an engagement with me now? If so, I don't want the betrothal gifts anymore. You can just burn the marriage certificate."

After hearing Qiu Yan's words, Jin Ling'er's face turned red. She glared at Qiu Yan again, and then said, "Don't call me your future wife anymore. We haven't gotten married yet!"

After that, Jin Ling'er continued, "Although you have given me those things, if I don't want you anymore one day, I will still have to return them to you. However, those elixirs are too expensive, and I may not be able to buy them even if I have money. So my question now is not whether I can use those things, but whether you are willing to give them to me separately, or I can pay for them."

"Oh! So that's what you mean!" After hearing Jin Ling'er's words, Qiu Yan probably understood what Jin Ling meant. To put it simply, she accepted that batch of things as her betrothal gift, and if she unilaterally broke the engagement, she would have to return those things as betrothal gifts.

Spiritual medicine is too expensive. If she uses it without permission, she is afraid that she will not be able to buy it to compensate herself in the future. That is why she asked, asking if she could give her the spiritual medicine alone. To be honest, Qiu Yan really did not expect Jin Ling'er to think of this, because even if, as she said, she did not want to fulfill the engagement with him one day and unilaterally tore up the engagement, she could not return those things, or she could cheat and return less. But she actually asked for his opinion for such a thing, which was enough to prove that Jin Ling'er's character was not a problem, at least better than the woman in white next door.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan suddenly found that Jin Ling'er seemed to have become a little bit cuter than before, and her image in Qiu Yan's heart became a little bit taller. So Qiu Yan smiled and said to Jin Ling'er, "Miss Ling'er, those things are my betrothal gifts to you, but since I have given them to you, I will not take them back. Even if you unilaterally break the engagement, I will not ask you to take those things back."

Qiu Yan paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued, "In other words, if you are willing to cancel our engagement, I can promise to give you more spiritual medicines or spiritual weapons. What do you think?"

Jin Ling'er was quite happy when she heard the first half of Qiu Yan's words. She felt that Qiu Yan was a person who didn't care about trivial matters and that such a person would definitely achieve great things. But when she heard the second half of Qiu Yan's words, Jin Ling'er's face changed. After Qiu Yan finished speaking, Jin Ling'er said to Qiu Yan in a bad tone, "Mr. Qiu, what do you mean? Why am I, Jin Ling'er, not worthy of you? Why do you want me to cancel the engagement so much? Let me tell you, you don't have to think about canceling the engagement. Don't think that all women in the world are easy to bully, and don't think that all women can be bought with material things! Don't blame me for being unreasonable. If you want to blame someone, blame your disappointing eyes and your dirty behavior!"
