Chapter 7600 [Not going home tonight...] ( words)
Chen Yan had been playing with the black stone in his hand for a long time. He was sitting cross-legged in his room at the hot spring resort hotel.

Gently turning the stone in his hand and facing the light sideways, he could vaguely see traces of runes in the black stone - this was the same as the stone he found in the port city last time.

However, this black stone is more than twice as large as the one in Hong Kong City.

There was more than one rune on it. Chen Yan looked carefully and found that there were two runes, one of which was complete, while the other was only half.

According to his previous experience, Chen Yan took out the talisman paper, cinnabar and foxtail brush, first wrote the complete rune on the talisman paper, and then used the previous method to light the talisman.

The last time I did this, I opened up the mirror world.

But this time, after the talisman paper with the runes written on it burned out, there was no reaction.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment... So, both characters must be written in full to be useful?

But the other rune is incomplete.

Chen Yan stared at the incomplete rune for a long time. Still following his last experience, relying on what he had learned in rune techniques, he wrote down several runes that looked similar in shape and outline, compared them with the incomplete rune, and then tried to complete it.

But this time, after trying more than twenty words and all the runes Chen Yan knew, there was no response.

"Okay..." Chen Yan was not disappointed, but just smiled bitterly.

In fact, his last success was a fluke; being able to complete the text was purely a matter of luck. Chen Yan didn't dare to hope that he could have that kind of good luck twice in a row.

After his rune research yielded no results, Chen Yan took out the stone he had used before, and then...

pat.

I put the two stones together and after trying a few angles, they actually fit together!
The joints fit perfectly!
So... these two stones were originally one, but seemed to have been shattered by some force and scattered around this world?

However, after the two stones were connected, they were still incomplete, and the surrounding outlines were still irregular.

(That said, there are more fragments.)
Chen Yan had a guess in his mind.

The stone in the port city is no longer black - after all the vitality was sucked away, it has turned into a translucent white color.

As for the piece he had obtained now, Chen Yan had no intention of giving the vitality inside to the ring to "eat".

After absorbing a large amount of vital energy in the secret realm, the ring still had no reaction.

Is it really a bottomless pit... Chen Yan was also a little helpless.

Subconsciously, I recalled what the little boy in the candle had said: With such a magical object, you must...

Damn it!

The black stone in the harbor city created a mirror world for himself. But this time, the secret realm got the black stone, and so far, there has been no harvest.

Chen Yan put the stone away.

He shook his sleeves lightly, and a golden light shot out from his sleeves, fell to the ground, and turned into a rectangular wooden box half a person's height.

The last thing Ouyang gave as a gift came from a lineage of puppeteers in the Japanese cultivation world.

The box itself is a magical tool. As long as you put enough paper in it, fold it into various shapes, keep it in the box, and nourish it with vitality every day, it can become a means for the owner of the box to fight.

Chen Yan's previous guess was a bit off. He thought that the origami in this box could only be folded into the shape of a thousand paper cranes or a Japanese samurai.

But after getting the box and studying it, I realized that this is not the case!

To be more precise, the box is just a container that nourishes the origami. As for what shape the origami can be folded into, the owner can actually use it freely.

Theoretically, as long as your craftsmanship is good enough, you can fold a Freedom Gundam, Ultraman Tiga... no problem.

It’s just that the attack mode is a bit simple - no matter what it folds into, it will fly out and attack people.

It's actually a physical attack, but it's powered by magic.

When Ouyang gave the box to Chen Yan, there were actually only a few pieces of origami left inside - almost all of them were used up in the battle in the secret realm.

Chen Yan carefully studied the origami inside and showed it to Chu Keqing. Chu Keqing recognized that it was the same thing that puppeteers in the Japanese cultivation world usually used to make paper figures.

This paper is called Purple Bamboo Paper, and is considered a high-quality and precious paper. The paper itself is not a big deal, but the production process is a bit more complicated.

It needs to be fumigated with a certain kind of incense, soaked in a secret oil used by puppeteers, and then dried in the sun...

Only then can you produce an origami that can be used by a qualified puppeteer.

As for the cost... roughly, a piece of paper the size of a banknote costs eight yuan. (This is mainly because the secret oil and incense are more expensive, and the drying process takes longer.)
After Chen Yan asked Chu Keqing to find out all this, he was speechless.

Eight yuan a piece! And it’s only the size of a palm!
If we start a fight, with handfuls of paper thrown out...

Is this hitting someone with paper? This is hitting someone with money!
It's pretty cool when you tap the box and a thousand paper cranes fly out, densely packed and dancing all over the sky...

Well, a thousand paper cranes, one thousand of them, eight dollars each!

Show off, eight thousand!

Fold a paper puppet warrior and have it chop people with a paper knife. That would be pretty cool, right?

One paper figure requires almost three hundred sheets of paper!

Look cool, two thousand four!
Theoretically, as long as one's own vitality can keep up, the box can produce larger paper puppets.

It can be as big as Godzilla!

However, the amount of origami needed would probably not be enough even if Chen Yan’s current net worth was used.

Chen Yan looked at the wooden box, sighed, and named his first offensive magic weapon - [氪金].

Chen Yan had no connections in the Japanese cultivation world, but Chu Keqing was a celebrity in this world's cultivation world and could find someone who worked as a puppeteer in Japan. Chen Yan asked Chu Keqing to help purchase a batch of special puppet origami.

Let’s buy 10,000 first.

The method of use is also very simple... If you want to release a paper puppet, you must first fold it yourself into shape, use it as the original wooden board, and throw it into the wooden box as a template.

Then throw the origami into the wooden box, and the box will automatically fold out - according to the shape.

You can have as much as you want, as long as you have the paper and energy.

It won’t work without a template - the box has no life or consciousness, and will not fold the puppet without a template on its own.

"I still need to learn some origami skills." Chen Yan scratched his head.

On the last day at the hot spring resort hotel, Chen Yan was not idle. He sat in the room, using his mobile phone to watch various origami videos online.

I watched it for a whole day and even asked someone to buy a box of A4 paper and tried various things in the room.

At the end of the day, I folded a lot of things in the room, paper cranes, frogs, boats, lanterns, paper people...

Chen Yan's talent for handicrafts was average. He wasn't clumsy, but he wasn't particularly dexterous either. He only learned a few things in a day, and his folding was only so-so.

However, compared to origami, Chen Yan is actually more interested in this box!

However, Chu Keqing had inquired about this kind of puppet box. In the Japanese cultivation world, among puppeteers, this kind of puppet box is considered a secret treasure - the material of the box, the source of the wood, the cultivation of the trees, the manufacturing process and techniques...

They are all secrets that are not passed on!

Often in a puppeteer sect, this is the highest level of inheritance, and ordinary disciples are unaware of it. Only the sect master of each generation can inherit the mystery of how to make the puppet box.

This thing is very convenient to carry. After all, it is a magic weapon and can change size.

When folded, the box can be reduced to the size of a lighter.

Just sew a small pocket on the lining of the sleeve, shrink the box and insert it into the pocket of the sleeve lining. When fighting, recite the mantra and a golden light will appear and fall to the ground... This is how that cool-looking scene came about.

·
On the third night, the Zen meditation study tour in Japan ended, and the meditation class returned to China and arrived in Jinling Prefecture by plane.

The meditation class disbanded right at the airport, and the various employees went home. There wasn't much reluctance before parting… We'd made all the necessary connections during these last two days of training in Japan, and they were busy too.

From Tokyo to Hokkaido, those days were not exactly a time of feasting and drinking, but it was certainly a time of feasting and revelry.

Chu Keqing returned to the academy with Assistant Xiao Cai, Wang Chuyi, and several other teachers. Chen Yan refused Chu Keqing's invitation and refused to let her send him off. Instead, he left the airport alone and took a ride home.

Before returning, Chen Yan had already sent a message to Gu Qingyi, but when he got home, the villa was dark and no one was at home.

I wonder where this Gu Qingyi has gone again?
Since there was no one at home, Chen Yan simply jumped into the mirror world and ran to the little girl's residence in the community.

At the door of the little girl's house, you can see the window is lit. When you open the door and walk in, you will see the little girl squatting on the floor of the living room, holding a small shovel in her hand, fiddling with several flower pots in front of her.

Seeing Chen Yan walk in, the little girl raised her head and looked at Chen Yan: "Next time, at least knock on the door before coming in. I am a girl after all."

Chen Yan nodded: "I remember... Well, what are you doing?"

"I have nothing to do, so I want to grow some flowers and plants." The little girl giggled.

"Where did the flowerpot come from?"

"I found it on the roof of the building next door..."

Pick up?
I'm afraid you didn't take it from someone else's balcony!
Chen Yan's expression was a little strange: "Then... where did the flowers and plants come from?"

"I dug some wildflower and grass seeds near the forest on the edge of the community."

Chen Yan shook his head: "There are no mirrors in the forest, be careful of danger."

"Don't worry, I'm very careful. I only stay on the edge of the community, near houses with windows." The little girl waved her hand nonchalantly: "I've been alone in the mirror world for so many years, I have more experience than you."

Chen Yan stared at the spatula in the girl's hand for a few seconds, and said with a twitch of his lips: "Is that the spatula you're holding in your hand the one used in the kitchen?"

"Yeah." The little girl nodded. "I don't cook. The meal we had last time in Hong Kong City can last for a few more days."

As she spoke, the little girl looked up at Chen Yan for a moment, frowned, and said, "You haven't practiced the Yuan Shen technique I gave you?"

"No."

"You haven't practiced the body-refining technique yet." The little girl looked Chen Yan up and down. "But your body seems to have become much stronger. Hmm...it seems to be the effect of nourishing your vital energy. How come your body has grown so much in just a few days?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment, then walked into the house, found a pen, and wrote down the runes on the black stone he had obtained. "Do you recognize this?"

The little girl looked at it and shook her head: "I don't remember."

Well, Chen Yan didn't hold out much hope to begin with, so he wasn't disappointed after hearing what the little girl said. He smiled and said, "Thank you too. The Golden Light Technique you taught me is quite useful."

"Then please help me get some flower and grass seeds next time."

"Okay, I'll go to the flower market and buy some seeds, and a few bags of nutrient soil for you... well, I'll also buy you some flower pots, so you don't have to 'pick up' things from other people's balconies."

The little girl didn't care and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want."

Chen Yan took out three black spirit crystals that he had filled in the secret realm this time and gave them to the little girl. He took back two empty ones and left the little girl's home.

Chen Yan returned home, went straight in and upstairs, and only jumped out of the mirror world in his bedroom.

I turned on the water to take a shower and changed into clean clothes inside and out.

After taking a shower, Chen Yan heard some noise coming from downstairs. He went downstairs with wet hair and saw Gu Qingyi walking into the living room door.

"Where did it go?"

"Stroll." Gu Qingyi looked calm.

"Have you eaten dinner yet?"

Gu Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "I ate at Haidilao."

"Ah?" Chen Yan was stunned.

"Lu Sisi and I ate together." Gu Qingyi smiled, but then sighed softly.

"When did your relationship with Lu Sisi become so good?"

Gu Qingyi rolled her eyes: "I am your biological mother. Ethically speaking, Lu Sisi is my daughter-in-law. I..."

"Stop! Are you addicted to playing the role of a mother?" Chen Yan sighed.

Gu Qingyi twitched the corners of his mouth, but whispered, "It's only a few days away. It's almost March 4th."

March 4th is the day of ghost marriage.

"Well, there are still three days." Chen Yan nodded.

"I'll leave after the ghost marriage is over. From now on, you... won't have to call someone younger than you "Mom" anymore."

"I've never called you mom before." Chen Yan muttered in a low voice.

Well, everyone calls her Gu Xiaoniang.

"I won't be going out for the next three days. I won't be going anywhere. I'll be preparing the ritual instruments for the ghost marriage at home. Have you been..."

"I won't be traveling out of town recently. Don't worry, it won't delay your important matters." Chen Yan nodded and said solemnly.

"...Okay." Gu Qingyi said, looking a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Have you... met Lu Sisi recently?"

"You can see her anytime you want. I just got back. Well, I can ask her out for dinner tomorrow."

"Okay, you should spend more time with her." Gu Qingyi sighed, then turned and went upstairs to her room to rest. But when she reached the corner of the stairs, she stopped and said, "You should treat her well in the future."

Looking at Gu Qingyi's leaving back, Chen Yan raised his eyebrows.

Do you really think of yourself as a mother?
The next day, Chen Yan went out to the university town to find Lu Sisi.

After all, she is my real girlfriend. After returning from a trip abroad, I always have to make an appointment with her.

Lu Sisi has no classes in the afternoon - given her attachment to Chen Yan, even if she had classes, she would probably skip them.

The two strolled around the campus for a while, but Chen Yan felt that Lu Sisi seemed a little depressed. She looked listless and not very energetic.

"What's wrong? The way you look today is just like Mr. Zhao's reaction when he failed the exam." Chen Yan smiled and looked at his girlfriend.

Lu Sisi hung her head, looking somewhat dejected: "I... just didn't do well in one subject."

"The school has just started, what kind of test is this?" Chen Yan was a little confused.

Lu Sisi, however, hugged Chen Yan's arm and said, "I just feel a little useless. Others can learn things well, but I just can't learn them no matter what."

"If you can't learn it, then you can't learn it." Chen Yan said seriously, "Let's be realistic. This school isn't a top-tier prestigious one. Most people who get into a university like this will just end up with a diploma. Don't be too hard on yourself. There's no need to fight with yourself."

"But I think..." Lu Sisi bit her lip and finally shook her head: "Forget it, I'll listen to you and not think too much about it."

Chen Yan noticed that Lu Sisi was in a low mood, so he was extra attentive and considerate that afternoon. He tried different ways to cheer Lu Sisi up, said a lot of witty and gentle words, and finally accompanied Lu Sisi to see a movie.

Gradually, Lu Sisi's mood was not so depressed, but... what made Chen Yan feel strange was that this girl seemed to have another kind of weirdness.

After drinking milk tea, they went shopping, and while shopping, she hurriedly pulled Chen Yan to catch dolls.

After catching the doll, he took Chen Yan to take photos, and after taking the photos, he dragged Chen Yan to see a movie.

After watching the movie, I wanted to go see the moon with Chen Yan...

Walking on the street outside the cinema, Chen Yan hesitated for a moment before he couldn't help but whisper, "Actually... given our age, we have a lot of time left. We don't need to finish all our dates in one day."

"But there are still many things I want to do with you." Lu Sisi whispered, "I want to watch the moon and the sunrise with you, cook with you, cuddle with you and watch TV together, watch concerts with you, and so on..."

"Then we can just do it slowly later. There are so many things to do, and we have plenty of time."

Lu Sisi sighed: "But, what if one day I'm gone?"

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, squinting his eyes at Lu Sisi, then smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I know magic and physiognomy? You have a very good destiny, a destiny of happiness and longevity—you can live for a long time, and this life will be long too."

Lu Sisi looked at Chen Yan and sighed softly.

I live a long time...but the time I spend with you is still not long enough.

Lu Sisi had actually thought about it carefully in her heart - or she thought she had thought about it carefully.

If I can't practice, then... I won't have much time to spend with Chen Yan.

Ordinary people may be able to stay together for a lifetime, for decades, and finally grow old together.

But Chen Yan is not an ordinary person!

Even if I can live to be eighty or ninety years old, I will never be able to accompany Chen Yan to that age!
In another ten or twenty years at most, when I reach the age of forty, I will be a middle-aged woman with sagging skin and wrinkles.

At that time, Chen Yan still had the youthful appearance of a twenty-year-old!

In that state, even if I still have many years to live, how can I continue to stay with Chen Yan?
A forty-year-old middle-aged woman and a twenty-year-old boy are in love with each other...

Maybe there are such examples in the world, but Lu Sisi doesn't accept it!

She couldn't accept it in her heart, and felt inferior and uncomfortable. At the same time, she felt that this would put a lot of pressure on Chen Yan.

and so……

If I can't practice cultivation and achieve immortality, then... I can only stay with Chen Yan during the best ten years of my youth!

Once her youth is gone, she plans to leave!
Ten years, maybe fifteen years at most.

All in all, it’s not that much.

"Chen Yan."

"Ok?"

"I'll drop out of school."

"What?" Chen Yan was stunned. "Why? I'm doing well in school."

"If I drop out of school, I can be with you every day." Lu Sisi sighed in distress: "There are still three years left in college. I have to stay in school for three years, three years..."

There are only more than ten years in total, do we have to waste three years... Lu Sisi sighed inwardly.

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Chen Yan smiled and looked at Lu Sisi: "You dropped out of school just to date me? What kind of love-brained thing is that!"

"Actually, I'm not in love..." Lu Sisi muttered softly while looking at her toes.

"Stop daydreaming and study hard in college. We'll have plenty of time to be together after you graduate." Chen Yan smiled, then pulled the girl into his arms and kissed her on the face.

Lu Sisi was no longer as shy as usual. She raised her head bravely and took the initiative to kiss Chen Yan on the lips.

Then, the girl suddenly put her head gently on Chen Yan's shoulder.

"Chen Yan."

"Ok?"

"I'm not going back to the dormitory tonight."

"……Um?"

Chen Yan's body trembled!
He lowered his head to look at the girl's face. The girl's face was a little red, and she was obviously very shy, but strangely, her eyes met his, very firm.

Lu Sisi pursed her lips, as if waiting for Chen Yan to speak.

Chen Yan took a deep breath: "Are you... sure?"

Lu Sisi still didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Yan quietly.

"...Okay!" Chen Yan subconsciously felt a little nervous.

·
What kind of business can make money near the university town?
There are actually quite a few choices.

There are those who run Internet cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, and stationery and bookstores.

There is another business that is also profitable near the university town.

Hotel!

·
After all, Chen Yan had attended university in this area for four years and was familiar with the nearby geographical environment. Soon, according to what he had heard before, he took Lu Sisi to the largest and most upscale hotel in the university town area.

In fact, Chen Yan originally wanted to take Lu Sisi to find a luxury hotel in the city center.

But Lu Sisi refused.

"Let's stay in a hotel near the school." Lu Sisi whispered, "Going to a luxury hotel is a different experience. We can experience it later. But tonight, let's stay near the university town."

"Why?" Chen Yan was a little surprised.

"Because... this is youth." Lu Sisi thought for a moment: "I usually see those young couples in school going to ordinary hotels nearby. I'm not a high-class person or a wealthy person.

I have thought about this before, what if I could have a boyfriend and find love in the future.

They should be like ordinary couples in school.

Oh, I don't know how to express this, it's just...

It seems like this is what normal youth is like.”

·
The front desk of the hotel was no longer surprised to see a young couple who looked like students coming to check into a room at night - this kind of thing happened too often near the university town.

He skillfully completed the check-in procedures, handed over a room card, and then watched Chen Yan and Lu Sisi go to the elevator.

Well, this couple are both very good-looking.

·
As she walked into the elevator, the courage that Lu Sisi had been holding on to all the way seemed to suddenly dissipate. Her legs felt a little weak, and she was almost relying on Chen Yan to support her to stand.

Chen Yan...

Well, actually Mr. Chen himself was also very nervous.

This is the first time!

When facing Chu Keqing, he can pretend to be cool.

But at this moment, he and Lu Sisi knew each other very well, and he was not some 91-year-old senior expert.

She's just a young single girl in her early twenties.

The most important thing is... it's really going to happen tonight!
·
After entering the room, Chen Yan pretended to be calm and closed the door. When he turned around, he saw Lu Sisi looking at him at a loss, as if she didn't know where to put her hands.

"Well...how about we watch some TV first?" Chen Yan said, trying to act relaxed.

Lu Sisi stared at Chen Yan for a while with a red face, and suddenly, the girl burst into laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

"Chen Yan...you're nervous too, aren't you?" Lu Sisi gently went over and hugged Chen Yan's waist: "This is your first time too, right?"

"Yeah." Chen Yan stopped pretending and nodded.

However, he suddenly had an idea and remembered something: "Ah, well, I'm going out to buy something."

"No." Lu Sisi shook her head.

Chen Yan was stunned.

"I...just got here on the second day." Lu Sisi whispered.

"But, that's not safe either, or..."

"No!" Lu Sisi raised her head and said slowly: "It's our first time, I don't want to..."

Chen Yan understood: "Then..."

"No matter what!" Lu Sisi took a deep breath: "No matter what happens, I am willing."

She even muttered secretly in her heart: If I get pregnant, I can use this as an excuse to drop out of school!
I'll just stay with this man for the next ten years.

·
The sound of water splashing in the bathroom seemed to never stop.

Chen Yan sat on the big bed in the room, feeling quite uneasy.

He also simulated several of his sitting postures.

Well, this pose is too deliberate, that pose is too frivolous, and if I change the pose, I'm afraid I'll seem too eager...

Oh no, that's not right! Nothing is right!
But just as Chen Yan was twisting and turning, the water in the bathroom suddenly stopped!

With a whoosh, Chen Yan's heart almost jumped to his throat!
Seeing Lu Sisi coming out with wet hair, Chen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief - the girl was wearing clothes.

Chen Yan's eyes dodged everywhere. In fact, he wanted to look at Lu Sisi, but he was a little embarrassed to do so. He lowered his head and stood up, saying quickly: "I, I'm going to take a shower."

Seeing Chen Yan running into the bathroom as if escaping, Lu Sisi suddenly laughed.

At this time, Chen Yan no longer looked like an "expert". Lu Sisi felt that Chen Yan was clumsy, but somewhat cute.

·
Boys actually take a shower very quickly, especially in this situation.

But after taking a shower, Chen Yan stood in the bathroom for a while, and finally walked out of the bathroom with complicated thoughts.

Chen Yan had mustered up his courage and prepared himself mentally, but as soon as he walked into the bedroom, he was stunned!

The kind of person who is dumbfounded!
Lu Sisi sat quietly by the bed, and her clothes were placed aside.

The girl lowered her head at first, then slowly raised her head and looked up at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan felt that his heartbeat and breathing had stopped.

·
Before this, Chen Yan always thought that he only liked the type of women who were big, long-legged, thin-waisted, with curvy bodies, hot and plump...that type of women.

But at this moment, he found that he might be wrong!
·
Lu Sisi's figure is not the explosively hot type.

She was actually a little thin - not washboard-thin, but fine-boned and well-proportioned.

Thin, but well-proportioned.

Under the light, her originally snow-white skin seemed to have turned into ivory, emitting a charming halo. The girl's eyes, at this moment, were like a fawn.

"Um... do you want to turn off the lights?" Chen Yan's throat was a little dry.

"No." Lu Sisi's voice was trembling, but her tone was firm.

"I am now at the most beautiful age of my life, Chen Yan... I want you to look at me carefully and remember me at my most beautiful."
