A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 115 From this day forward: The sun and moon will be our ink, and the primordial chaos will be redrawn!
The outside world seemed to freeze at this moment, but within Li Weizhou's sea of ​​consciousness, a cataclysmic change was taking place!

The endless rain of blood blotted out the sky, terrifying Shi Jing and Xiao Jian, who cowered in a corner, trembling with fear...

Bloodshot eyes, like ocean eyes, churn and surge with thick, fresh blood, circulating endlessly.

The surging blood stirred up countless waves, constantly washing over the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

And they kept sending him wave after wave of information...

Li Weizhou finally understood the origin of the Blood Eye; it was a rare artifact that existed since the beginning of the chaos of the world!
It was this blood-red eye that gathered all the filth and blood in the universe, forming a boundless sea of ​​blood, and giving birth to the Styx Ancestor.

It is not a magic weapon; it is simply a part of the chaotic universe at the beginning of time, a part of the laws of creation.

That's quite a background!

No wonder, no wonder he swallowed so much pig's blood and was still like a bottomless pit!
However, it is now almost completely destroyed, which may mean that the universe in which it was born is also almost destroyed...

Li Weizhou was unsure whether the ancient being who had tried to devour and possess his soul that day, only to turn to ashes after letting out a miserable howl, was the remnant soul of the previous Blood Eye's master, or simply the remnant soul of the Styx Ancestor.

No one knows what earth-shattering event occurred that caused the ancestor of the Styx River, who should have been immortal, to perish and disappear, with a wisp of chaotic remnant soul hiding in his blood-red eyes, barely clinging to life, in an extremely wretched state.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that Ye Yun, that unlucky fellow, is not the owner of the Blood Eye at all.

Otherwise, shooting wouldn't have killed him... thank goodness.

If Ye Yun were the owner of the Blood Eye, he wouldn't die from the amount of blood he absorbed; instead, it would be the brothers Li Weizhou and Li Changning who would die.

Secondly, the Blood Sea Eye itself suffered a near-destructive blow, losing its ability to actively gather all the "filthy blood" in the world.

The so-called "filthy blood" refers to the blood that flows out after all living beings die.

It is the most filthy and evil existence in the world.

That doesn't matter, anyway, it's Blood Eye that's swallowing the filthy blood, not Li Weizhou...

Since the Blood Eye has lost its ability to autonomously gather blood into the sea of ​​blood, the new master needs to search for blood and reassemble the sea of ​​blood himself.

The fact that Blood Eye truly recognizes its master today is actually related to Li Weizhou's ability to collect "tainted blood".

It has drifted and sunk for countless years, long since lost all consciousness, leaving only a few instincts.

In its instincts, this was the first time it had encountered someone so capable of collecting blood, which instinctively ignited a hope for repair...

The damage to the Blood Eye was too severe; most of its power of laws was lost, and it requires endless blood to constantly repair and replenish it.

If there is an endless supply of blood, perhaps one day the Blood Eye can regain its full power and once again autonomously gather all the "tainted blood" in the universe to restore all kinds of mysterious laws.

It can even grow a blood-red lotus platform again...

But that day is still a long way off...

Even with Li Weizhou's current ability to collect blood, it would probably have to be calculated based on the number of members...

However, it is always possible to continuously recover, progress, and awaken new and wonderful methods.

However, the most basic ability of the Blood Eye has been restored, which is that the Blood Sea will never dry up and the Lord of the Underworld will never die!

Li Weizhou used the blood of hundreds of millions of lives as a catalyst to restart its most primal power of rules.

Although the power of the Blood Eye's laws can no longer target life in the universe, countless lives spontaneously gather their filthy blood after death.

But it's enough to take care of just one "New Styx".

Therefore, as long as there is even a single drop of blood remaining in the Blood Sea, Li Weizhou, the new master of the Blood Sea, is theoretically immortal!

The reason it's only theoretical is that to be resurrected and maintain one's cultivation level, one needs to consume a large amount of blood.

One drop of blood is simply not enough...

Once the sea of ​​blood dries up, its miraculous effects will naturally disappear.

Just like the remnant soul hidden in the blood-red eye, its sea of ​​blood must have dried up or been damaged to have fallen to that state.

Furthermore, the stronger Li Weizhou becomes, the more blood he needs to be resurrected, and the higher the required blood quality.

In scientific terms, energy is conserved; it cannot be created out of thin air, nor can it disappear out of thin air. Rather, it changes from one form to another.

If Li Weizhou were to become a Great Immortal, even if he collected all the pig's blood on Earth for ten thousand years, it still wouldn't be enough to reassemble a Great Immortal body.

Of course, it is possible to condense an ordinary person's body, but all cultivation levels would need to be retrained.

If he wanted to reassemble a human body, human blood would be far more suitable than pig's blood, so he was going to start collecting human blood.

The stronger the person, the better their blood.

Besides blood, the Blood Sea can also dissolve flesh and bones, and the stronger it is, the better.

This will be of great benefit to him when he needs to rebuild his physical body and become immortal in the future!
This solves the problem of disposing of the bodies later. The bodies of Eunuch Yao and the Dharma Master buried in the backyard can finally be disposed of...

What excited him most was the final effect:
They can teleport between the blood-red phantoms!
Upon seeing this ability, Li Weizhou trembled with excitement!

What is invincibility?

That's what you call fucking invincible!

From today onwards, he can instantly teleport to any place with a blood-eyed phantom... as long as there is enough blood in the sea of ​​blood!
He had a vague idea that the distance from the mountain city to the dried blood powder factory in Furong City, Sichuan Province, was about 250 kilometers and would require about 10,000 liters of pig blood.

It's not much; compared to the millions of liters of revenue generated daily, it's almost negligible.

Of course, from another perspective, it only costs a little over 100 yuan to take the high-speed rail from Chongqing to Chengdu, and it only takes an hour. However, 10,000 liters of pig blood, including labor and other costs, would cost more than 20,000 yuan.

Moreover, the greater the distance, the higher the cost.

This is still on Earth where there is no sense of oppression; the consumption on the Great Qian side is probably even higher.

Ten times, or even a hundred times?
If a journey of several hundred miles requires the consumption of hundreds of thousands of liters of blood, equivalent to sacrificing 100,000 people, then the cost is too high.

But when it comes to saving your life, who cares about that?
It's worth it as long as it's less costly than rebuilding a physical body!

The final message was to tell Li Weizhou that he now needed to find an absolutely secluded place to contain the sea of ​​blood.

The future sea of ​​blood will be boundless, and Li Weizhou's sea of ​​consciousness will not be able to contain it.

Moreover, hiding the Blood Sea within the Sea of ​​Consciousness carries significant risks. If it were discovered by a truly powerful being and even the Sea of ​​Consciousness were imprisoned, everything would be destroyed…

As long as a top-secret location is found to house the Blood Eye and Blood Sea, and as long as the Blood Sea remains undiscovered, it is equivalent to immortality.

Hahaha!
Who could find a more secluded place than him?!

If some powerful being could traverse endless time and space to come to Earth and kill him, he would accept it!

Who else is more suited to possess the Blood Sea than him?

He deserves all that!

It was worth it for him to keep buying pig blood even though he couldn't see much profit for so long.

It was only because he was doing business with almost no capital that he was able to support his almost irrational expansion!

All the effort, hard work, and waiting have been worth it at this moment!!

Immortality, hahaha!

immortal!

How can he possibly work hard now?

Lie down and heal, and you can outlast all your enemies!
It’s so difficult!

This mindset, when transmitted to reality, manifests like a wild boar gnawing at a girl, almost swallowing her whole!

Xiao Rui chuckled and avoided his mouth, burying her face in his chest.

My lips are all swollen...

After a long embrace, Li Weizhou, who had finally calmed down, put his arms around the girl's shoulders and pulled away a little before asking with a smile, "Today is your official graduation. Are your parents still waiting for you at home? I... don't need to meet their parents yet, right?"

Xiao Rui's bright eyes seemed even brighter than the streetlights at that moment. She smiled and looked at Li Weizhou, saying, "Don't be nervous. I just couldn't help myself because the atmosphere and emotions were right. I know you're a slow starter, so take your time."

She is very gentle and understanding.

Actually, Li Weizhou was quite quick to warm up just now; she almost sucked his tongue off...

Li Weizhou thought for a moment and said, "It needs to be done slowly. There are many things I don't know how to explain myself, and I need to find an opportunity to tell you little by little. But I don't know if you can accept it."

The pig blood business must not stop for a moment.

Therefore, it was ultimately impossible to keep it a secret forever.

Xiao Rui has always been the one in charge of the actual arrangements. If she continues to hide it, it would be like pretending to be ignorant when she knows the truth, which is pointless.

Most importantly, at this point in time, he no longer needs to hide it.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, his combat strength is far from being invincible.

But on Earth, with the power of a martial arts master, immortality, and teleportation, he is an invincible being!
Xiao Rui looked at Li Weizhou with bright eyes and whispered with a smile, "Then can you tell me a... well, the smallest... no, the most bizarre secret?"

Li Weizhou thought for a moment, then looked at her and said softly, "I might be immortal."

"Hum hum……"

A muffled laugh emanated from Xiao Rui's chest, making her laugh so hard she couldn't stand up and leaned into Li Weizhou's arms.

But as she laughed, she seemed to lose her smile. She straightened up, her bright eyes looking at Li Weizhou, and asked, "Then, are you... a vampire?"

Clever as she is, although her first reaction was that it was too bizarre and ridiculous, she quickly connected the dots after making some connections.

Who would go to such lengths to acquire so much blood and remain immortal?
Li Weizhou shook his head and said disdainfully, "What are they? Just rats in the sewers."

It's nothing but something that can't be brought to light.

Xiao Rui guessed again: "That is, the kind of zombie with a very high level, what's it called again? Jiang Chen?"

She's dating a zombie?!

So exciting...

Li Weizhou still smiled and shook his head, saying, "Those are all ants. I'm a human now. It's just that somehow, I've gained some supernatural abilities that I shouldn't have... Aren't you scared?"

Xiao Rui couldn't help but laugh, "I beg you, please make me immortal too, okay? I'll warm your bed and wash your feet every day, and I'll do whatever you want with me!"

Li Weizhou laughed heartily, brushed a strand of hair from the girl's smooth face, and said, "Not now. You need to help me collect more pig's blood; that might speed things up."

Although it's unlikely, it's still possible.

If only the Blood Eye, this wondrous artifact of heaven and earth, could be fully restored, I'll try to transform her into an Asura before she dies of old age...

Although Xiao Rui still found it absurd, she asked seriously, "Besides pig's blood, can I have chicken blood, cow's blood, sheep's blood, etc."

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "That's fine, we've been collecting them all along."

Actually, if you think about it, if you only count pig's blood, it wouldn't reach the number of hundreds of millions of lives.

There may be tens of millions of pigs, but it certainly won't break 100 million.

If you include chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, that's definitely enough!
I should have made more chicken blood earlier. Although the amount of chicken blood is not large, it is very easy to increase the quantity.

But it's fine as it is, it's not too late.

Xiao Rui let out a breath and nodded, saying, "Leave it to me. Xu Li and I will increase our acquisition efforts. This isn't difficult. We'll start domestically, then move internationally, step by step. You'll need to inspect all the newly built dried blood powder factories, right?"

Li Weizhou nodded and smiled, "Smart."

It turns out she had been watching all along.

Xiao Rui suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, "If the higher-ups find out, do you think you can escape?"

Li Weizhou thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I can escape. If I want to run, no one should be able to catch me. However, there's no need to run."

Xiao Rui said seriously, "I mean, if you were accidentally tricked into a place and ended up being locked up, like a laboratory, an underground space, or a cage made of reinforced concrete, do you think you could escape?"

These are all scenes from a movie.

When catching bad guys, you naturally want the cage to be as sturdy as possible, so that the bad guys can't get away.

When bad guys become your own people, you naturally hope you'll never get caught, and ideally, even if you do get caught, you can escape easily.

Li Weizhou nodded easily and smiled, "No problem. Although the price is a bit high, no one in this world can hold me back."

Xiao Rui guessed: "The price is... pig's blood?"

Li Weizhou himself was a little embarrassed, and nodded, saying, "That's right."

After giggling for a while, Xiao Rui said, "I don't know whether I should believe you or not. By the way..." She suddenly remembered something and asked again in a low voice, "Then, do you need human blood?"

Li Weizhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Before, we didn't need any blood; any kind would do. Now, there's a demand. So, we're expanding our business to India. Don't you think that's evil?"

The reason for the hesitation was that the task of collecting blood ultimately fell to Xiao Rui.

Don't turn him into an international fugitive...

Xiao Rui looked at Li Weizhou and smiled, "I actually know a bit about the Indian black market for blood. It exists whether we're here or not. Poor people in India sell 200cc units for seven dollars to private blood banks, which then resell them to America for huge profits of hundreds of dollars."

Numerous American companies have opened blood banks along the US-Mexico border, openly purchasing blood from Mexicans and legally supplying 70 percent of the world's blood products for huge profits.

So that's the law of this world; it's neither noble nor evil. If you need it, I can ask some friends to contact some Indian students in China. I can arrange for them to go back to India and open a biotech company there, where they can freely profit. As long as you pay, there are no moral boundaries there.” He paused, then asked, “No need to ship it back to India, right?”

It seemed that Li Weizhou didn't need to be around to handle the pig's blood.

Seeing that she had figured out how to do it in an instant, Li Weizhou nodded and smiled, "Yes... How can you accept such a bizarre thing?!"

Xiao Rui chuckled, "I've had my suspicions for a while... I was obsessed with anime for a time, so it's not a big deal." She stared into Li Weizhou's eyes, carefully watching the blood-red waves churning in his pupils, and said softly, "I've always been afraid that I would live a mundane life, like everyone else, working, getting married, having children, taking care of the family's daily needs, endlessly arguing with my husband over trivial matters, worrying about him cheating as I get older and lose my looks, becoming neurotic and suspicious, and finally dying in resentment, unwillingness, and bitterness."

I am afraid of mediocrity, even ordinariness, even though I am myself so ordinary.

But I never expected to meet you.

Boss, you are the best gift God has given me.

So, whatever the outcome, I accept it, without regret.

Having said that, this time she took the initiative and kissed him on tiptoe without hesitation.

This time, she didn't close her eyes, but stared intently at those blood-red eyes filled with an evil aura...

Li Weizhou's hands finally and quietly climbed onto the place he had long coveted...

……

After sending Xiao Rui home, Li Weizhou also rushed home and entered the secret room in the basement. He first placed a blood-red eye phantom on the ground, and then couldn't wait to verify whether all of this was real or fake.

He closed his eyes, formed an ancient hand seal, and silently chanted: "Hurry!"
In a daze, he felt as if his body was being squeezed between two huge, solid, thick balloons, constantly being compressed.

However, this feeling only lasted a few seconds before suddenly disappearing.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a blood pool that smelled faintly of blood.

Just then, the blood-drawing machine was drawing blood into the blood pool, and it crashed down. He carefully dodged it and watched as the pungent pig's blood was poured into the pool and instantly absorbed by the blood eye.

Everything became so wonderful and welcoming.

Once it quieted down outside and everyone had left, Li Weizhou looked out through the narrow window...

It was indeed that dried pig blood powder factory in Furong City.

Heh, heh heh.

Hahaha!
Li Weizhou chuckled softly. It was actually true, it was actually true...

This wonderful world!
Now only the final step remains: finding a secluded place for Blood Sea to land.

Thinking back on all the videos of wonders of the world he had watched, Li Weizhou already had a general idea in mind...

Hearing footsteps approaching from not far away, and then a flashlight shining in, his figure suddenly disappeared into the pool of blood.

From the void, a distant song seemed to drift in:

The world is vast, I can roam freely!

Heaven and earth are my furnace, forging my mad blade!

Yin and Yang are the strings, piercing the vast sky! Sun and Moon are the ink, repainting the primordial chaos!

……

When Li Weizhou opened his eyes again and looked at the gauze curtains on the four-poster bed, he felt a sense of warmth and intimacy.

Even a speck of dust on the mesh seems to add a touch of realism to life...

In short, everything was so lovely.

So this is what a life without any pressure in one's heart truly is.

He didn't get up, but instead put his hands under his head and continued to stare blankly.

Does he still need to work hard?

They've already achieved immortality, and can even be resurrected after death. Isn't that what cultivation is all about?

At this moment, Li Weizhou felt as if his heart was about to burst open.

Calm down, he needs to calm down!
Actually, upon closer reflection, he wasn't truly invincible; he was merely in an unassailable position.

If you want to become stronger, you still need to work hard; you can't always take shortcuts.

Why do we have to become stronger?
Even if an ant lives for 100,000 years, it is still an ant without dignity, and people can trample on it whenever they want. So living for a long time is meaningless.

Therefore, I must become stronger.

However, the transformation of pig's blood no longer helps him much in his cultivation; it can only be considered a trump card for survival, which is of course very important.

However, after passing through the three levels, apart from strengthening the foundation, healing wounds, and prolonging life, even the rare and precious Ginseng King is no longer needed; what is required is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

To think that pig's blood can be used to transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is somewhat of an insult to pigs.

Moreover, if Li Weizhou really becomes a Celestial King or Celestial Emperor in the future, it would be even more unreasonable for him to revive at full strength using pig's blood.

To directly restore one's cultivation level, one must constantly build up reserves.

For example, the development of Dayuan Mountain resulted in the killing of many strange beasts.

But we still haven't seen what kind of strange beast it actually looks like...

Find an opportunity to ask Qi Zhenkun later. The reason why all eight sects are located in famous mountains and rivers is to promptly capture wild beasts and prevent them from coming down the mountain to harm people.

Qi Zhenkun certainly knows whether or not there are any strange beasts.

Hmm, could we find an opportunity to talk to them about a collaboration?
Even if the blood is transported over, it will have already gone bad and congealed. But if there is blood, flesh and bones of strange beasts, that would be fine too.

Now that Xuehai has grown up, she's no longer picky about food.

Hey!

Li Weizhou suddenly had another brilliant idea: it would be great if he could find a way to raise some exotic beasts in captivity. He would look for wild boar-like exotic beasts, the kind that give birth to eighteen offspring in one litter...

As expected, pig's blood is the eternal king and will never go out of style!

However, collecting blood in the Great Qian Dynasty is still too difficult, and the problem is that it's not reliable. The Earth side is more reliable and can provide a stable supply.

I originally thought that the Great Qian Dynasty was so exciting and lively, while I could just relax and live a peaceful life on Earth. But now it seems that the Great Qian Dynasty is the most important thing and cannot be ignored.

As long as the people of Earth still love to eat pork, it's equivalent to Li Weizhou living forever.

Furthermore, now that we have immortality, establishing a foothold on Earth needs to be put on the agenda immediately. Tomorrow, Xiao Rui will be asked to introduce a Shan language tutor.

At this point, it's not difficult to snatch chestnuts from the fire in that land still embroiled in conflict; anyone who dares to defy them will be killed.

Anyone who dares to ambush him will only destroy his physical body, but what awaits them will be the revenge of having their ancestors for eighteen generations reduced to ashes!
Of course, first of all, one must have a sense of righteousness, such as transforming into the last royal descendant of the Shan Kingdom.

I cannot bear to see my people suffer, cannot bear to see rebellion cause harm, cannot bear to see my country fall. Therefore, I have carried forward the legacy of my ancestors, implemented long-term strategies to govern the world, conquered four states and destroyed the feudal lords, ascended to the supreme position and ruled the six directions, wielded the whip and lashed the world, and my power extended throughout the land!

Anyone who disagrees, voice your opinion, and I guarantee the traitor won't see the sun rise again, haha!

The process was easy: first, spend money to register your household, then get into the army, and then earn military merits to climb the ranks.

He would achieve several outstanding military exploits, quell the rebellion, build momentum on TikTok, gain prestige and popular support, and then reveal his royal status.

With his prestige at that time, he should have been able to awe the world.

Then we will establish an all-weather partnership with a major power and carry out comprehensive economic cooperation.

It's hard to imagine that Shan State, with its abundant resources, could be one of the poorest countries in the world.

Of the 600 million mu of land suitable for farming, and more than 400 million mu of land highly suitable for agricultural development, only 100 million mu have been developed. In addition, gold mines, jade, ports, forests, tourism, and so on, all of these have been put up for rent or sale. The people of Shan State do nothing and are promoted to a moderately prosperous life on the spot.

If we can win over 75 percent of the impoverished population and control absolute military force, what can't we accomplish?
With a total population of just over 50 million, they could all become wealthy by feeding them.

The Shan royal family is only responsible for military affairs, while the prime minister is responsible for the fairness and impartiality of the law.

After that, he left it to the trusted people to continue with this plan. Li Weizhou was at ease building a large blood bank at the dock, collecting pig blood, cow blood, sheep blood, human blood... all the blood that could be collected in the world.

Send us all the zombie meat from decades ago, we'll take it all!
And then every now and then, kill a batch of traitors and spies who come to cause trouble, and you're all set.

In short, there is only one goal: to build a truly stable base, collect "tainted blood" from all over the world, and prepare for the battle against Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors in the Great Qian World, as well as to capture Fairy Maidens and Saintess!
Hey!
Li Weizhou chuckled to himself, then turned to look at the door. A knock followed: "Knock! Knock knock!"

"Come in."

Li Weizhou responded, and then Zhou Yueniang walked in. She was dressed the same as when they first met, simple, clean and neat, with her beautiful hair tied into a ponytail with a leather strap, the end of which was still wrapped with a copper coin.

"Husband!"

Zhou Yueniang called out to Li Weizhou, her amber eyes reflecting the morning light, they were truly beautiful.

Li Weizhou beckoned to her, and Zhou Yueniang closed the door behind her. She walked over and offered her hand to Li Weizhou, but he pulled her forcefully into his arms.

While discussing the matter, Li Weizhou asked, "How about we do some morning exercise?"

Zhou Yueniang couldn't resist and shyly "refused," saying, "It's daytime!"

Li Weizhou didn't have time to explain. He quickly removed the equipment from his wife's body and then freed himself from his own shackles, soon reaching a state of perfection...

Half an hour later, Zhou Yueniang, disregarding the blame and the embarrassment of being naked, held the gift Li Weizhou had given her in her hands and couldn't take her eyes off it.

She wasn't some naive, unsophisticated girl; it's just that this thing...

It is a mirror, a high-end silver-plated mirror with a reflectivity of over 93%, far surpassing bronze mirrors. It is rarely used in ordinary households on the other side of the world; it is usually only used in high-end bathhouses.

Moreover, unlike bronze mirrors, it does not require frequent polishing and rust removal by a mirror polisher.

It's quite pitiful, really. Before the invention of silvered mirrors, people had never seen their own reflections so clearly...

Even if a bronze mirror is polished to a high level of clarity and smoothness, it can never compare to a silver-plated mirror, as it will always have a hazy, dreamlike quality.

Zhou Yueniang stared blankly at herself in the mirror, at her amber eyes.

She was deeply moved: her husband was so good to her!
Li Weizhou hugged her from behind and laughed, "You're so beautiful, aren't you?"

Zhou Yueniang smiled, looking at Li Weizhou through the mirror. Li Weizhou then laughed and said, "Well, isn't my title as the owner of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion well-deserved?"

Zhou Yueniang nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "Husband, where did you get all this from?"

Li Weizhou laughed heartily, "I certainly wouldn't tell anyone else, but of course I'll answer my wife's question. This is fate..."

Then, he told Zhou Yueniang a story that all three of his women would know: The Encounter with the Immortal!
Finally, she said proudly, "Moon Lady, I really envy you for marrying such a wonderful husband!"

Zhou Yueniang giggled, carefully placed the mirror on the dressing table, turned around and hugged Li Weizhou tightly, even joking, "Good little brother, call me sister!"

Li Weizhou was somewhat troubled. Why did these women always insist on making him call them "sister" when they were being affectionate?
He refrained from forcing them to call him "Dad"!

After another round of wild and unrestrained chatter, the two finally got up to wash and change.

Since there were no parents or elders around, and no need for formalities like greetings or standing in a queue, life couldn't be more carefree.

Li Weizhou then took Zhou Yueniang to the kitchen: "Come on, let me show you my skills!"

Zhou Yueniang quickly replied, "I know how to cook porridge."

Escorts travel the world, and none of them can't cook.

Of course, cooking just means boiling rice, maybe roasting some wild game or something. Otherwise, in the middle of nowhere, how could we possibly cook a few dishes?
Li Weizhou waved his hand and said, "Let me give you a taste!"

With a wave of his hand, he summoned several cucumbers, a few cloves of garlic, and various condiments such as sesame oil, vinegar, chili peppers, and light soy sauce.

Zhou Yueniang: "..."

She hadn't slept a wink all night after witnessing her husband's incredible abilities.

Well, even if one witnessed the "miracle" firsthand, ...

I still feel somewhat dazed and doubtful.

Because when I was traveling around, I saw many kinds of magic tricks and performances, some of which were particularly shocking and incomprehensible.

It wasn't that she didn't trust her husband, it was just... too bizarre.

But this morning, when I saw myself in the mirror, I was already certain, and now, I have no more doubts.

There are dried cucumbers available, but that's in the summer. Now it's the dead of winter, with the north wind howling and snow falling heavily outside. How can there be such fresh cucumbers?
It turns out that her husband truly was destined for immortality...

Watching Li Weizhou chop several cucumbers into cubes, put them in a bowl, sprinkle a little salt to draw out the water, and then prepare the sauce, while Zhou Yueniang pounded garlic, he heated a spoonful of oil. After the garlic was pounded, he poured hot oil over it along with millet peppers to release the aroma, then added light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil, and mixed it well.

Pour the sauce over the cucumber, sprinkle with a little chopped green onion, and toss!
Heat up a pot of steamed buns, let's dig in!
Watching Zhou Yueniang wield her chopsticks with more dexterity than a sword, and seeing the smile on her lips as she chewed her steamed bun, Li Weizhou ate happily as well.

See, when you meet a handsome person, even if life is so mundane, a simple plate of cucumber salad can make life interesting.

To say he had any deep feelings for this unexpected little wife wouldn't be accurate.

There's a saying that goes something like this: love at first sight is nothing more than lust at first sight.

But Zhou Yueniang has a good personality, which Li Weizhou likes, and forming a family would be a good thing.

When it comes to living life, everything else is nonsense; being comfortable is the only standard.

That's fine.

The two ate in silence, but their occasional eye contact was incredibly sweet.

until……

"Moon Maiden, for a boat?!"

The father-in-law's somewhat nervous voice carried to the backyard. The kitchen was behind the main house, in the back room. Li Weizhou quickly replied, "Here, Father-in-law, is there something you need?"

Zhou Yueniang rolled her eyes at him, then looked at the dish with only some soup left, and was dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Zhixian appeared, speechless as he watched the two lovers eating with soy sauce residue on their lips.

Zhou Yueniang stood up guiltily and said softly, "Father, why are you here?"

There are still leftovers, Dad, would you like some?
Zhou Zhixian glanced at his daughter and saw that she was all smiles, which calmed his anger considerably. He scolded her irritably, "What time is it? Why aren't you showing yourselves? Even if your parents aren't here, you should still be managing the household affairs." He had thought something had happened; it was almost noon and still so quiet.

Zhou Yueniang nodded in agreement. Zhou Zhixian, seeing Li Weizhou's cheerful expression, knew he hadn't listened. However, as a father-in-law, he shouldn't interfere in his son-in-law's affairs, so he got down to business: "We've agreed on what you said yesterday, and we'll proceed according to your plan. However, after faking my death, I still need to secretly escort the Wu Prince's convoy back to Mingzhou Prefecture, and bring some elderly people here to take care of them. Do you agree?"

Zhou Yueniang was unaware of these things and looked at her father and husband in surprise.

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "Forget about those old people. If they get sick from the change in environment, it will only harm them. Just send someone to deliver silver to them every year and take care of their old age and funeral arrangements. Don't send the goods either, otherwise we'll probably be ambushed by the Shangqing Palace on the way, and people will die needlessly. The Shangqing Palace hates us no less than they hate the Demonic Sect."

The father-in-law sent a mature and reliable person back to sell all the family's belongings and give them all to the Prince of Wu's mansion, and then tearfully recount the evil deeds of the Shangqing Palace.

In this way, the reputation of the escort agency will only become more prominent, and the risks will be greatly reduced.

Besides, you're already dead, so you'll only leave behind a good reputation, which will allow us to benefit from it as well.

If the Shangqing Palace were to retaliate against such an honest family, it would draw much criticism from the martial arts world.

Zhou Zhixian said, not without annoyance, "Then what am I supposed to do staying in Qingzhou City now? Sleep all day?"

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "Go hunting! The vast Dayuan Mountains are teeming with wild beasts, causing immense suffering to the people. There might even be exotic creatures lurking deep in the mountains. Bring back any you can, and Baibaolou will buy them at high prices. It's much more profitable than running escort services!"

Zhou Zhi asked in bewilderment, "What do you need so many animals for?"

Li Weizhou said happily, "The Hundred Treasures Pavilion will be of great use. Anyway, once we win back the enemy, we can just send them directly to the fortified village and settle the accounts in cash."

There are still three years before the Ascension Gate opens. If he doesn't plow through all the wild beasts and strange creatures of Mount Dayuan in these three years, then he will have truly wasted the good fortune that Heaven has given him!

It would be a waste to leave Zhou Zhixian and his formidable army unused...

What makes a good father-in-law?
A father-in-law who can properly manage the jungle is a truly good father-in-law!
……

After Zhou Zhixian returned to the meeting somewhat dejectedly, Zhou Yueniang asked curiously, "What's wrong? Does that mean my father doesn't need to go back to Mingzhou Prefecture?"

Li Weizhou then recounted what he and Zhou Zhixian had discussed, and finally added, "By the way, I didn't tell you yesterday, but I know you're the daughter of the Demonic Cult's Bright King, and I'm the grandson of the Demonic Cult's Transmission Elder, right? We're both remnants of the Demonic Cult, a match made in heaven!"

Zhou Yueniang's pretty face had a very strange expression. She had originally imagined that after her identity was exposed, she might even lose her family. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

She leaned on her husband's shoulder and laughed.

How could life have become so good...?

Moreover, I thought my father would return to Mingzhou Prefecture, and we would be separated by thousands of miles, making it difficult to see each other often, which inevitably made me sad.

I never expected it to turn out like this...

Her husband gave her so much.

However, the deep affection did not last long. Xi Mei's maid, Xiao Bei, rushed over to report: "Master, Madam, Miss asked me to wake you up. Although Feng Gongfeng said not to disturb your rest, Miss said that people have been waiting for almost two hours and it is not good to keep them waiting any longer."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yueniang's pretty face flushed red. It was nothing to her father in person, but she felt really embarrassed if strangers knew that she had gotten up so late.

Li Weizhou was much more natural. He waved his hand and said, "Go tell Ximei and Feng Gongfeng that Madam is teaching me swordsmanship. It will be finished soon. Go ahead."

After Xiao Bei scratched his head and left, Li Weizhou remembered to ask, "Yue Niang, do you prefer a sword or a knife?"

Zhou Yueniang pursed her lips and said, "With a knife... but I prefer darts."

Li Weizhou exclaimed with delight, "Great! Great! Using a knife is good, but using a dart is even better!"

"Pfft!"

Zhou Yueniang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Weizhou wasn't flattering anyone, because no matter what kind of firearm is used, even with a silencer, it's impossible to completely mute it; the sound is still quite loud.

However, hidden weapons are different. With his perception, strength, and agility, if he were to combine them with superb hidden weapon skills, they might be of limited use in the Great Qian Dynasty, but on Earth, he would be the king of assassins!

Especially in the jungle, it's simply an unsolvable problem.

Seeing that Li Weizhou really liked it, Zhou Yueniang actually taught him the techniques of hidden weapons and the methods of channeling energy.

The two walked and taught each other, and soon arrived at the West Courtyard, where they saw Feng Biwu instructing four girls in martial arts.

Zhou Yueniang knew she was beautiful and could tell her husband liked her looks, especially her eyes.

She had once felt inferior because of the difference in her eyes, but she never expected that Li Weizhou would like her so much.

Because he liked it, she now also felt that her eyes were exceptionally beautiful...

But even as a woman herself, she had to admit that Feng Biwu was truly stunning.

If she is a lotus flower blooming in June in the lotus pond of Mingzhou Prefecture, then Feng Biwu is a stunning peony in full bloom.

She also possessed a cool and aloof elegance that made her incredibly attractive, not just to men.

My own man, he really knows how to pick...

Good morning, Madam.

Just as she was slightly lost in thought, Feng Biwu stepped forward first, lowered her eyes and bowed slightly, and greeted her.

At this moment, even Zhou Yueniang felt jealous of Li Weizhou...

If she hadn't fallen madly in love with this man, how could someone as proud as Biwu Jun have bowed her head?

At this moment, Master Li was also smiling with satisfaction. Life... it's truly worthwhile!
……

P.S.: Is life worth it? Hehe, please vote for me with your monthly tickets, thanks!

My tooth hurts terribly, I have to go to the dentist tomorrow, so annoying. Maybe I should try getting two pounds of pig's blood...
