Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 262: The Mysterious Ground Veins
Li Xiang held Luo Feifei and ran at a cruising speed of 2.8 Mach. It only took more than minutes for them to reach Vietnam from Jinling City.

While running at supersonic speed, his spiritual power was running smoothly and he was concentrating, so the abnormalities and impulses in his body had naturally subsided.

Luo Feifei is indeed beautiful, with a stunning appearance. She became famous as a young girl and was called "Little Fairy". She is the dream goddess of countless men. Li Xiang naturally likes her, but unfortunately...

He has concerns.

He has been a virgin in two lives and has never been in a relationship. After his rebirth, he is surrounded by beautiful women and he doesn't know how to deal with them. He wants to be a scumbag and take it all, but he is not mentally prepared.

It's like a poor man who suddenly wins a lottery prize of 100 million. He is confused about how to spend the money and how to manage his finances. Just don't give it up. He will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Never mind all that. Just focus on doing the things at hand and work hard to improve your strength. After all, the end of the world is only nine years away." In this life, he was determined to accomplish something big and no longer live in mediocrity like in his previous life.

Li Xiang put Luo Feifei down, and then a yellowish-brown light rose from his body. He took the little beauty through the underground, looking for special veins.

Luo Feifei looked at Li Xiang beside her and couldn't help but smile. She thought to herself, when other people go on dates, they have candlelight dinners, watch movies, and all kinds of romantic scenes, but we can go treasure hunting underground. But it's also interesting.

However, after searching for a whole night, when it was already dawn outside, Li Xiang still hadn’t found the special vein.

After all, Vietnam's land area is actually quite large. Although it is long and narrow and seems small, it is actually 33 square kilometers, which is almost the same as the area of China's Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces combined.

I was probably lucky in Thailand before, as I came across it by chance when I was searching for jasmine rice. But this time in Vietnam, things were not so smooth.

It is also possible that the flowers you planted with care may not bloom, but the willows you planted by accident may grow into a shade.

"How about letting Luo Feifei do some divination?" Li Xiang thought to himself. This was an irrelevant matter and there were no clues or related objects. He wondered if Luo Feifei's divination skills would work.

Immediately, Li Xiang expressed his thoughts.

"Well, you dare to look down on me and say I'm incapable?" Luo Feifei said angrily, rolling up her sleeves, "Let me give it a try. I will definitely find some clues."

So, under Li Xiang's expectant gaze, Luo Feifei confidently took out the tortoise shell and copper coins and began to tell fortunes.

The result was shocking.

In the past, she always came to a conclusion very quickly, in a few seconds at best and three to five minutes at worst. But this time, it took her seven to eight minutes and she still couldn't get it done.

"Well, I'll try again." Luo Feifei felt a little embarrassed, but she refused to admit defeat.

Soon, it failed again.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll do it again."

So, it happened again.

After six times, it was almost an hour. Beads of sweat appeared on Luo Feifei's forehead. Li Xiang couldn't help but say, "Why don't we stop fortune-telling? Let's just look for it slowly and treat it as a trip to relax."

"No, I'll do it again."

Luo Feifei was not discouraged. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and persisted. After thinking for a long time, she once again scattered the tortoise shells and copper coins.

"Yohoo, it's done!"

There are clues to follow in the hexagram. Luo Feifei smiled happily, thinking that hard work pays off. This is really torturing me.

It was so painful and stressful just now. If I can't figure it out, wouldn't I lose face in front of Li Xiang?

"Brother Xiang, the hexagram shows that it is at the bottom of the sea." After the analysis, Luo Feifei said with some surprise.

"Undersea mineral vein?" Li Xiang was stunned and also surprised. No wonder he couldn't find it when he burrowed into the ground on land. It turned out to be hidden under the sea. Vietnam always coveted the ocean to its east. It turned out that the source was here.

Hey, then I'll dig up the royal vein of the seabed for you. I guess you won't have such unrealistic thoughts in the future.

A place like Vietnam naturally cannot have an "imperial bloodline" like China. At most it has a saint-level royal bloodline like Japan.

"We want to dig up their seabed royal veins? Haha, that's really... too romantic." When Luo Feifei learned about Li Xiang's idea, she couldn't help but want to try it out. She thought to herself, how can the romance and quality of our date be compared to that of ordinary couples? Although the two of them had never confirmed their relationship.

"Then let's set off at once. The sea is my home ground." Luo Feifei's eyes were bright and full of joy. However, just as the two were about to set off, Luo Feifei felt dizzy and dazed, and fell backwards.

Li Xiang quickly supported him and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

"Maybe I just exerted too much energy. I feel a little tired." Luo Feifei said somewhat ashamedly.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Xiang felt distressed and apologetic. This was treating the girl like a child laborer, and it was a high-intensity job, and he didn't even get paid.

Oh, no, they often gave her some elixirs as money. However, that was not a reason to exploit the child laborer. They said they were taking her out to play, but in fact they were using her to help find mineral veins.

"Why don't we find a place to rest first and then set off at night," Li Xiang suggested.

"Okay." Luo Feifei was indeed tired, so she agreed immediately.

It was too stuffy underground, and Li Xiang could only open up a small space of a few meters. Luo Feifei did not have the ability to sense the earth veins, unlike Li Xiang who could "see" the scenery within a radius of two or three thousand meters. So, Li Xiang brought Luo Feifei to the surface.

It was daytime and there was a small town nearby, so Li Xiang and Luo Feifei wore sunglasses, hats and masks and went to the town.

After finding the best local hotel, Li Xiang took out a stack of US dollars and threw it at the front desk, saying in broken but extremely confident English: "Please arrange the best room for me."

"Okay, okay, dear sir, I'll arrange it right away. Are you two a lady and a gentleman from China?" The waiter was quite smart and good at observing people's expressions.

Li Xiang nodded and said in Chinese: "Can you speak Chinese?"

"Yes, yes. I once dreamed of working in China, so I studied Chinese for some time." The waiter switched to Chinese, which he spoke not very fluently. Although he stuttered, he was able to communicate.

"That's great, take us to see the house."

"You two, please come with me!"

The waiter happily took the two of them to a "luxury room" on the third floor and introduced the room in broken Chinese.

Although it is a small town, the facilities in this room seem to be OK and can barely provide a place for a rest.

Li Xiang asked, "Are there any rooms like this? We want two."

"Uh, this is the only room left." The waiter said immediately.

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, then said, "The first-class one is also OK."

The waiter said, "I'm sorry, this is the only room we have in the hotel."

"Is there really only one room?" Li Xiang asked.

"Really? I'm really sorry. Because this is the most expensive room, very few people live here. But don't worry about the hygiene. We just cleaned it this morning and changed the sheets and bedding."

Li Xiang looked at Luo Feifei.

Luo Feifei shrugged and said, "One room is enough." She thought to herself, Brother Xiang, you've been carrying me all night, do you still care about sharing the same room with me? Have you forgotten how we used to talk all night in the hotel room?
"Please take a rest, both of you. If you need anything, feel free to call the front desk. I will not bother you any more." The waiter nodded and walked outside. When he was leaving the room, he turned around and saw Luo Feifei checking the sheets in the room. She didn't notice him, but Li Xiang was looking at him. So he immediately made a "victory" gesture to Li Xiang and showed an expression of "happy cooperation".

Li Xiang: “…” So you think you are helping me, right?
Soon, he came to his senses. It might be because he threw a large stack of US dollars as soon as he came in, which caused the waiter to misunderstand.

Perhaps, the waiter saw that he spent so much money and thought that he wanted to take over the girl next to him, so he deliberately said that there was only one room.

Li Xiang couldn't help but laugh or cry.

In fact, he just wanted to show off his generosity. Anyway, at least one-tenth of his huge wealth was plundered from Vietnam, and spending it here was considered giving back to the local civilians.

After checking the room, Luo Feifei went to the bathroom and saw that there was hot water, so she said, "Brother Xiang, I'm going to take a shower and change clothes. Don't peek."

Li Xiang said viciously: "Wait until you are halfway through washing, then I will push the door open and force my way in."

"Tsk~, if you don't come, you're a puppy." Luo Feifei pouted, hummed a little tune, and went to take a bath.

She naturally knew that Li Xiang would not peek or force his way in, and he was just joking just now.

It took a full hour for Luo Feifei to come out.

She wrapped herself in the disposable bath towel that came with the space gem, poked her head out from the steaming mist, and the water drops from the ends of her hair gathered into a silver stream in the clavicle: "Mr. Puppy, do you want to help this fairy wipe my back?" Li Xiang: "..."

Embarrassed, he said, “Why is it taking so long?”

Luo Feifei smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you. Why don't you come in, Mr. Puppy?"

She walked out with a tall and slender figure. This disposable bath towel was a little small and could not cover her whole body. It could only cover her from chest to thighs, which was extremely charming.

The figures of the top female stars in China are naturally impeccable. If they gain one point, they are a little fat, and if they lose one point, they are too thin. They are big where they should be big, thin where they should be thin, with curves that are well-proportioned and graceful, and are unparalleled in the world.

In particular, her pair of long beautiful legs were wet and covered with crystal water droplets. When she walked, the water droplets kept dripping, and under the control of her water ability, they inadvertently fell on the footprints she walked, forming lotus flowers. There was a sense of mystery and beauty of "lotus blooming at every step". A red rope bell was hung on each of her porcelain-like ankles, tinkling, and the bright red rope formed a sharp contrast with the snow-white jade skin.

Li Xiang was naturally restrained for a few seconds.

Luo Feifei couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

Li Xiang finally came to his senses and said, "I'll go wash too." He had been running around outside for so many days and was quite tired, especially last night, when he carried Luo Feifei everywhere and ran thousands of miles.

Besides, if I don’t leave now, I’m going to make a mistake.

"Then I will peek. I have the ability of insight, so I can see it without opening the door." Luo Feifei joked.

Li Xiang staggered and suddenly thought of a problem, that is, she has the ability of clairvoyance, so even if he is wearing clothes, she can see if she wants to.

"Haha." Seeing this, Luo Feifei couldn't help but laugh like a goose.

Li Xiang patted his head, knowing that he was overthinking, and went into the bathroom. Who is Luo Feifei, how could she be so dirty?
In fact, Luo Feifei's ability of insight can block out things she doesn't want to see, otherwise, with so many men and women on the street, there would be no secrets in front of her at all.

As for other people, Luo Feifei thinks it is offensive to the eyes, so she never looks at them.

But as for Li Xiang, she did sneak a peek once or twice, and didn't find it offensive, but she felt a little "scary", so she didn't watch it anymore.

After all, she was a virgin in two lives. Although some of her memories from her previous life were restored through dreams, they were intermittent and sporadic. In this life, she was only 16 years old.

When Li Xiang came out of the shower, Luo Feifei had already fallen asleep on the bed, breathing very softly and evenly.

She had washed her hair, but she didn't need a hair dryer. With her water-based ability, her hair could dry instantly. She had left it wet before just to seduce Li Xiang.

Seeing that most of her shoulders were exposed, Li Xiang was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he stepped forward and gently covered her with the quilt.

As for Li Xiang, he was sitting on the sofa, meditating in a specific posture, practicing breathing techniques. The space here was too small to support special physical techniques, but he knew a lot of breathing techniques, so he could choose those that did not require big movements.

The breathing method is very mysterious. It can not only cultivate spiritual power, but also seems to stimulate the potential of the human body and produce accompanying supernatural runes when breaking through.

This kind of innate supernatural rune can be used at will, which is very quick and requires relatively little spiritual energy. It is also very powerful and cannot be compared with some "magic" acquired after birth.

When Luo Feifei woke up, it was already late, so the two went to the town to look for local Vietnamese food.

The aroma of roasted fish grilled with lemongrass wafted from the snack stall in the twilight. An old woman in a conical hat stirred the rice noodle soup pot with a long-handled copper spoon. The shadows of star anise and cinnamon floated in the rising hot air.

Li Xiang and Luo Feifei picked a small shop that looked relatively clean and ordered fried spring rolls, fried fish cakes, beef rice noodles, and a large portion of fruit salad. The shop was full of people, so they had to sit at a table on the roadside outside.

I chose this store because it was clean and looked OK, and mainly because there were many people. It is not easy to fall into scams in stores with many people.

About seven or eight minutes later, the food arrived and they started eating.

It is naturally impossible to wear a mask while eating. When Luo Feifei took off her mask, the motorcyclist who was slurping noodles at the next table suddenly choked, and two silver lines of soup spurted out of his nostrils - the bright face of the sixteen-year-old girl made the surrounding lights pale in comparison.

Li Xiang frowned and thought, is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
Luo Feifei moved closer and laughed softly, "Are you jealous?"

Li Xiang wanted to quietly shoot out the icy sword energy to teach the wretched driver a lesson, but soon he saw many people around him looking in this direction, so he had to give up.

He couldn't possibly teach all the "lechers" on the street a lesson. That would seem a bit petty.

I thought to myself that Luo Feifei is truly worthy of being the national goddess, even now she’s wearing a hat and sunglasses.

Someone was whispering next to them in Vietnamese, and the two of them couldn't quite understand what they were saying, but later they suddenly understood what they meant.

Because the other person was saying to his companion: "Look, isn't that beauty over there a big Chinese star, the most beautiful girl in the universe, Luo Feifei?"

Her companion said, "That's impossible. With Luo Feifei's wealth, she would be surrounded by people and bodyguards whenever she goes out. How could she come to a small town like ours? If she really came, the whole of Vietnam would have been in an uproar and it would have been reported on the news."

"Well, I'm particularly looking forward to her upcoming film The Return of the Condor Heroes, which will be released at the end of the year. I heard it's going to be great."

Luo Feifei's influence has long gone beyond the borders of China, especially in Vietnam, a country deeply influenced by Chinese culture. People can often be seen singing Vietnamese versions of Chinese pop songs on the streets, and some even sing in Chinese.

Li Xiang and Luo Feifei couldn't help but smile at each other, because when the other said the three words "Luo Feifei", it was in Chinese. Luo Feifei didn't have a Vietnamese name either.

"You might have been recognized." Li Xiang whispered.

"It's okay, let's finish eating quickly and leave." Luo Feifei took a bite of the spring roll, feeling a little proud inside.

A large portion of fruit salad, which contains lychee, jackfruit, longan, coconut meat and coconut milk, with the addition of agar jelly, water chestnut and tapioca flour, is sweet but not greasy. Two people share it, taking one spoonful at a time, and the people around us are envious.

Some men secretly said: "It's worth dying for to share a meal with such a beautiful woman."

When they left, a few thugs followed them, but they could not hide it from Li Xiang and Luo Feifei.

Li Xiang and Luo Feifei deliberately walked towards a secluded place. Those people suddenly became excited and followed them more closely.

When they reached a remote alley, several people could no longer hold back and quickly ran up, shouting, "Stop!"

However, when Li Xiang and Luo Feifei turned around, they did not show the fear they expected. Instead, they both looked at them with amusement.

"What are you laughing at? Hand over your money and let this girl play with us for a night!" Several people took out daggers, and the first one shouted coldly in a deep voice.

Li Xiang sighed softly: "Forget it, Feifei is here, so no one will die today."

If he was alone, he could use his earth-based magic to bury these people alive immediately.

But then again, if he was alone, the other party might not have bad intentions. Tonight, it was mainly because Luo Feifei's beauty was too tempting, and the other party wanted to rob her mainly and rob her of her money as a secondary purpose.

Even Li Xiang couldn't keep calm. How could these little hooligans resist such a popular and beautiful superstar who is adored by countless fans as soon as she appeared in China?
After a burst of crying and shouting, the thugs fell to the ground in pieces, with their legs broken. Li Xiang did not use any special abilities or advanced martial arts, he just knocked them down with light punches and kicks.

The force of more than 100,000 kilograms, if only a little bit of it was used, these people would not be able to bear it. Considering their injuries and Vietnam's medical conditions, it is estimated that even if they are cured, they will still be crippled.

The two quickly evacuated the scene and came to the suburbs.

Luo Feifei suddenly came closer, her black eyes turning cunningly: "Brother Xiang was a hero who saved the beauty this time, and I have no way to repay you, so I have to give myself to you~" She drew out the last word like it was dipped in honey.

Li Xiang raised his hand and tapped her smooth forehead with his knuckles, jokingly saying, "Girl, your hair hasn't even grown out yet. Let's talk about it when you're an adult."

Luo Feifei was stunned, her cheeks flushed, thinking secretly, does he really know that I am a white tiger? Did he really peek at me? But, no. If he had, I would not have been able to fail to notice it. Although his realm is higher than mine, my insight ability has a warning effect.

Then he got a little angry again, puffed up his cheeks and kicked the stone at his feet: "Humph, that Jiang Cai'er is not much older than me, I think you are very brave."

Li Xiang quickly changed the subject, took her hand and said, "This place is not far from the beach, let's burrow over there."

Vietnam's terrain is long and narrow, with the narrowest place being only about 50 kilometers. Li Xiang could travel 400 to 500 kilometers in an hour through earth tunneling and easily reach the beach.

Soon, they arrived at the sea.

Vietnam’s coastline is 3260 kilometers long, but they don’t have much territorial waters, so fishermen can easily “go abroad” if they are not careful.

Luo Feifei divined the approximate location of the spiritual vein. Due to the narrow territorial waters, the two of them quickly found the special mineral vein.

Located about two to three hundred meters deep on the seabed, Li Xiang and Luo Feifei were patrolling on the seabed. Li Xiang's ability to sense the earth veins could detect it without any earth escape.

So, Li Xiang picked up Luo Feifei, and a yellowish-brown light rose up and went towards the special mineral vein.
