Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 266 Longing for You 6

Li You looked away and continued eating.

After she looked away, Xiang Liu glanced up at her again, seemingly unintentionally.

Feeling him look up at her several times, a smile flashed in Li You's lowered eyes.

They spent the night outdoors, with Li You sitting by the fire and Xiao Qi digging in the sand.

She glanced at it and couldn't bear to look.

"Xiao Qi, you look exactly like a human child now. Do you still remember your identity as a system?"

Xiao Qi's laughter echoed in Li You's mind: "Host, I'm just being novel, and I'm making room for you guys."

"Then I really thank you!" Li You said.

"Hehe, you're welcome, host."

Li You didn't know if this silly system truly didn't understand her meaning or was just pretending to be stupid.

Xiang Liu held a piece of firewood and poked at the fire in front of him, somewhat absentmindedly.

Looking up at the person opposite him, the firelight illuminating her delicate face, Xiang Liu watched for a while before feeling that the fire was too hot.

He stood up and walked into the sea.

"What are you doing?" Li You asked casually.

Xiang Liu paused, turning his head slightly: "I'll go catch some more seafood."

After saying that, he went into the sea, and Li You watched for a while before looking away.

Xiao Qi walked over to her and winked at her: "Host, I'm going back to the carriage to rest. You'd better seize the opportunity!"

After saying that, he skipped away with a grin.

Looking at the beach where she was all alone, Li You wondered what opportunity she could possibly seize.

Just as she was about to take out her tablet to watch a drama, Xiang Liu came up from the sea.

He threw a pile of seafood on the ground in front of Li You: "You can put it away, I'll go catch some more."

He knew she had a place to store things, and Li You glanced at it, then put it away with a thought.

Although she also has some in her online space, no one can ever have too much food.

Just as Xiang Liu was about to turn around and continue grabbing, he noticed that she was alone: ​​"Where's Xiao Qi?"

Li You looked at the carriage: "Asleep!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liu nodded, but then stopped abruptly. He looked at Li You and hesitated before asking, "Would you like to come with me to the bottom of the sea?"

Upon hearing this, Li You looked up and put the tablet she had just taken out of her sleeve back into her hand.

Their eyes met, and Li You stood up: "Let's go!"

Xiang Liu nodded, released the hand that was tightly clenched behind her back, and walked forward.

The two walked to the water's surface, channeled their spiritual energy, and leaped into the sea.

Once they reached the sea, Xiang Liu led her to catch seafood, with him driving ahead and Li You gathering it from behind.

He watched as Xiang Liu rushed over with a school of fish, and as he scared away the shrimp and crabs.

Li You collected them all, and only when she was almost done did she call Xiang Liu to stop, as he still wanted to continue.

"That's almost enough!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liu stopped what he was doing and went to her side.

He thought for a moment, then looked at Li You and said, "Would you like to come and see where I live?"

Li You glanced at him and nodded casually, while Xiang Liu turned his head and smiled slightly.

Then he led her to where her seashell was.

This is Xiangliu's territory. No large creatures come here; only some colorful little fish swim by.

They continued downwards into the azure sea, surrounded by coral reefs, among which lay a large, white seashell.

As soon as Xiang Liu and his people arrived, the seashell opened automatically.

The two went to the seashell, and Li You went in to take a look: "You've been resting here since you came back?"

"Well, how is it?" Xiang Liu said with a smile.

"I've heard that seashells are where merfolk make love. When a male merfolk brings a female merfolk back, it means he's seeking pleasure?" Li You casually remarked.

Xiang Liu paused in his smile, then nodded and said, "That's how it is!"

"So, you brought me back?" Li You mischievously wanted to see his reaction.

Xiang Liu met her gaze, a little nervous, and explained, "I didn't think that much about it, I just wanted to bring you here to see."

A smile flashed in Li You's eyes, and she nodded, saying, "I understand. Anyone can come to your seashell."

"No, I didn't bring anyone else here!" Xiang Liu quickly said.

Li You looked at him, and Xiang Liu realized that his reaction was a bit hasty.

He calmed down and said, "What I mean is, I didn't just bring anyone here."

"Well, I see!"

Xiang Liu felt that something was missing from her lukewarm response, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After staying for a while, the two went ashore and returned with a full load of seafood.

Sitting back down in front of the fire, Li You took out two jugs of wine and handed one to Xiang Liu.

"Try it, this is wine I brewed myself!" Li You added in her mind. "I brewed it with Yunshang."

Xiang Liu took it, opened the cork, and a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.

He picked it up and took a sip, then another sip a moment later. Although he didn't say anything, judging from how he kept drinking, he must have thought it was good.

The night was cool and still, but both of them had spiritual energy protecting them, so they didn't feel cold.

After finishing a pot of wine, Li You waved her hand and two tents appeared on the spot: "Let's rest!"

After saying that, she went into her tent. Xiang Liu watched her go in before slowly getting up and going into another tent.

A chariot pulled by a unicorn swept across the sky toward the nearest city.

Xiang Liu sat outside with his legs bent, looking down at the city below. He patted the unicorn's body.

"Go down!"

The unicorn wagged its tail and swooped down to the ground.

Xiao Qi was drowsy inside, while Li You sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, resting.

Once on the ground, Xiang Liu lifted the carriage curtain and came in: "We're here, come out!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi rubbed her eyes and got up, while Li You opened her eyes and looked over.

"Let's go!" she said, standing up and walking out.

Xiao Qi followed behind. Once everyone was on the ground, Li You touched the unicorn and put the car away.

They walked towards the bustling area, with Li You in the middle, Xiao Qi on her left, and Xiang Liu on her right.

He stood with his hands behind his back, occasionally turning his head slightly to glance at Li You's profile.

Xiao Qi is always in high spirits. Every time we go shopping, it acts like a stray dog ​​entering the city.

Li You glanced up at the shops on the street every now and then, until she saw an inn and stopped.

"Let's go to the inn and stay there first!"

After saying that, she went into the inn, and Xiao Qi and Xiang Liu followed her.

Two rooms were booked; Xiao Qi and Li You shared one.

Li You had the food brought upstairs, then said to Xiang Liu, "Come and eat with us!"

Xiang Liu nodded and followed them into the room. The food wouldn't be served immediately, so they sat down to rest first.

"Sister, shall we go out for a walk later?"

Li You shook her head: "Let's rest today and go tomorrow."

Xiao Qi had no choice but to agree: "Okay!"

It then spoke into Li You's mind again: "Host, the next town is Qingshui Town from the drama, shall we go take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Li You thought for a moment and then said, "I'll go and take a look then!"
