I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 117 I'll Hold You While Skating
After dinner, the group bought tickets and went for a walk in Fairy Island Lake.

There aren't many tourists here outside of holidays.

The lakeside was still lush and green in autumn, and the distant lake reflections entered the eyes of the four people.

"I heard there's rafting here, how about we try it?" Li Yan said.

“Really? Then what are we waiting for?” Jiang Yingzhu said immediately. She loved these new and exciting things.

She had never seen rafting before; it was something she learned about in her geography textbook.

Upon hearing this word, Mei Mengqian felt a sense of longing and nodded.

"Okay."

“I’ll go too!” Yu Bing raised her hand.

So the group found a boat and sailed among the small islands in the lake to Wangxian Cliff on the west side.

Where the sky meets the water, where lakes and islands reflect each other, a cool autumn breeze blows, and the water glistens beautifully. Even Jiang Yingzhu fell silent, stood up, and stared blankly at the breathtaking scenery, then cried out:
"what!!!"

"Holy crap, so beautiful!!!"

Li Yan silently pulled down his baseball cap and sat back, pretending not to know him.

Nearby, some tourists in kayaks also looked over in astonishment.

"Although this is what everyone thinks, is it really necessary to shout it out so loudly?!"

Yu Bing stood beside Jiang Yingzhu, staring blankly at her.

"Jiang Yingzhu, I admit that I am not as good as you in this aspect."

The kayak glided leisurely across the water, and the rower glanced at Jiang Yingzhu.

I felt a pity; what a beautiful girl, it's a shame she has a mouth.

Mei Mengqian sat on the side of the boat, pretending not to hear Jiang Yingzhu's shout, and couldn't help but say:

"I will depart in a small boat and spend the rest of my life on the rivers and seas."

The next moment, Jiang Yingzhu's once arrogant posture became somewhat listless.

Damn it, I've run into a cultured person this time.

Standing next to her, Yu Bing turned to look at Mei Mengqian, put her hands behind her back, and said:
"Like a mayfly in the vastness of the universe, or a grain of millet in the boundless ocean."

Jiang Yingzhu glanced down at her, feeling it was inappropriate.

To everyone's surprise, Mei Mengqian seemed to take a liking to it and continued:
"The wind rises and the waves dance; the mountains stand tall and their verdant shadows deepen."

Upon hearing this, Yu Bing opened her mouth again, only to find that her head, like her hands, was completely empty.

Mei Mengqian won, but when everyone arrived at the high-altitude rafting point at Wangxian Cliff, her face turned a little pale.

She's a little afraid of heights!
"Li Yan, can we stop playing?" Mei Mengqian pulled Li Yan, her legs trembling.

“It’s okay, Mengmeng, I’ll hold you while we skate,” Jiang Yingzhu said.

Li Yan nodded. "Or I can carry you."

"Pooh!"

"You think beautiful!"

The two women spoke up in unison to rebuke them.

Fortunately, they did not revoke Li Yan's right to ride on the same raft.

"What will happen if this glass breaks?" Yu Bing asked curiously.

"It will become a different project," the staff member who was instructing the three said with a smile.

"What project?"

"Ropeless bungee jumping".

Yu Bing felt that the last time she was this speechless was the last time.

"Don't worry, these are all tempered glass, super strong, perfect for building houses!" the staff assured.

His tone was so certain that Mei Mengqian became suspicious, so she asked:
"You only emphasize what you lack; how can you be so sure?"

"Hehe, didn't a few people just fall down during the National Day holiday a while ago when the crowds were so huge?"

"These devices have all just been inspected and tested. We've all played with them beforehand, so you can rest assured!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian's face turned even paler. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Li Yan patted her shoulder, reassuring her.

At the same time, a wisp of spiritual energy entered her body and circulated around.

Mei Mengqian's complexion improved, and she nodded, putting on her safety vest. The rafting began, and high above, the scenery of Fairy Island Lake was clearly visible.

Moving at high speed is a completely different experience from being on a kayak.

Jiang Yingzhu and Yu Bing were shouting and yelling, and Li Yan felt it was a pity that these two weren't twins.

Mei Mengqian sat quietly, no longer nervous as before, her eyes fixed on the scenery outside.

The lake was calm, and the weather was sunny and breezy. But all around were turbulent waves, moving at high speed.

This sense of dislocation gave her a wonderful feeling, a feeling that inspired her to write poetry.

However, she couldn't utter a single word until the rafting trip was over, and sighed helplessly.

A true talented woman, even upon suddenly meeting her beloved, could compose a poem that would be passed down through the ages: "Having finished playing on the swing, she lazily straightens her slender hands. The dew is heavy, the flowers are delicate, and her thin clothes are soaked with light sweat."

A fake talented woman, all she can do is recite poems and lyrics.

Next, the four of them went to Sky City to see the scenery of the entire Fairy Island Lake, walked along the glass walkway, and experienced all the thrilling rides.

It was almost three o'clock when Jiang Yingzhu finally thought of fishing.

They had pretty much had enough fun, so she immediately made arrangements:

“We’re going to the reservoir to fish. There are places to rent fishing gear there. We’ll fish for two hours, and if we don’t catch anything, we’ll take a taxi home.”

Mei Mengqian had the least objection; these thrilling activities were truly terrifying.

Yu Bing was also a little tired and prepared to sit down and rest for a while.

So the four of them went to the riverbank, spent four hundred yuan to rent a full set of fishing equipment, and immediately sat down in a row and cast their hooks.

Someone in the distance looked over and saw them together, but didn't disturb them; they just shook their heads.

"Several more people went home empty-handed."

Beside him, a companion he had brought to experience fishing looked puzzled.

"How to say?"

“I often come here to fish, and I always make sure to bait the area beforehand. The bait I use is all high-end, not the dough that they give away for rent.”

His companion thought for a while, vaguely understanding something, and continued to look at the fishing rod.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the churning water out of the corner of his eye, and immediately pointed at Li Yan on the opposite side, saying:
"Up!"

Upon hearing this, Bait looked up and saw the fishing rod being pulled up, and a large fish, about the length of a forearm, leaped out.

"Mandarin fish, damn it!"

"It's so long, it must weigh at least a pound."

Bait Guy was surprised and immediately went over and said, "Young man, are you selling fish?"

"Sell."

After Li Yan finished speaking, Bait Guy's face lit up with joy. This time, he wouldn't have to go to the market to buy fish when he got home.

Just then, he heard a sudden cry of surprise.

"Ah, something's taken the bait!"

Upon hearing this, Bait King was overjoyed and immediately went to look.

He was shocked to see Jiang Yingzhu pulling on the fishing rod; it was bending so sharply, it must be bigger.

He quickly offered guidance, "Little girl, you should do it like this..."

Soon, with the guidance of professionals, a black bag was pulled out.

"what is this?"

Jiang Yingzhu was puzzled and reached out to pull him.

Li Yan quickly stopped him, his face as deep as a still pool as he stared at the tightly sealed bag.

Bait Guy was also a little surprised and took out his tools to open it.

Then he vomited instantly.

"what?"

Jiang Yingzhu became curious and turned her head to look.

Li Yan pulled him back again, saying, "Children shouldn't look at fragments of people's lives."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian, who was still curious, suddenly felt a blank and remembered the various murder videos she often watched.

Yu Bing was also taken aback. "People? What?"
