I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 126 Li Yan, You've Got Me Pregnant

On Saturday morning, Li Yan ate a bowl of hot dry noodles for 3.5 yuan at a noodle stall downstairs, plus a cup of soy milk, which came to exactly 5 yuan.

After the meal, he did not go home, but went to the bungalow by the river. The automated medicine refining furnace had already consumed all the medicinal materials he had put in.

The medicinal liquid accumulated during this period also needs to be sent to Hua Ningxia.

Li Yan piloted the flying shuttle to the bungalow to retrieve the medicinal liquid, which was the size of a whole water bottle. It wasn't heavy to lift, but it did affect the flight.

That's right, he didn't take a car; he flew directly to Jiangcheng.

After mastering the principles of magic, he immediately developed spells to prevent various detection methods.

Li Yan handed the items to Hua Ningxia and took a look at the company's development.

In just over two weeks, Li Yan's place, which originally resembled a shell company and had a distinct Jiangcheng character, has completely changed.

Not only has the area increased, but there are also more people.

"You've come at just the right time! The ones you gave me last time are almost gone, and everyone's urging us to restock," Hua Ningxia said, overjoyed to see that Li Yan had brought several times more beauty serum than last time.

"With these, I am confident that I can make the company a household name in Jiangcheng!"

"Sales are so fast? I remember you said you were targeting the mid-to-high-end market, right?" Li Yan was a little surprised.

Hua Ningxia smiled and said with a hint of teasing, "There are quite a few sellers in Jiangcheng, and they're very generous. There's a lot of talent, and the prices are cheap."

“I paid them salaries comparable to those in Jiangcheng, which is located in Yuhang, so of course they worked even harder.”

Li Yan nodded and glanced at the group of people making phone calls outside the conference room.

Then Hua Ningxia continued, "But the main thing is that our products are good, they are effective, and the effects are very significant and can withstand scrutiny."

Hua Ningxia paused for a moment, then handed over the revenue from the past two weeks to Li Yan.

Li Yan waved his hand, "Keep it in the company account. I'll let you know if you need it."

"In addition, establishing our own herb garden and research and development base will require funds; you should find an opportunity to put these on the agenda."

Li Yan recalled the time he bought counterfeit medicinal herbs a while ago. Now that he had run out of herbs, he still needed to buy more.

He no longer trusts buying from outside sources, and it's too much trouble; it's better to produce and sell his own products.

After saying that, Li Yan added, "Help me acquire some top-quality gemstones, jade, and the like, as well as some wood."

"I understand." Hua Ningxia nodded.

Li Yan glanced at the time and realized it was already 11 o'clock. If he flew back now, it would be past noon, so he decided to have lunch in Jiangcheng.

After dinner, Li Yan's phone rang. He saw it was Zhu Zhu calling and answered.

"Li Yan, where have you been gallivanting off to?"

"Outside."

Where is it outside?!

"A place for fools to hang out."

Jiang Yingzhu paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "If you repeat Yu Bing's way of speaking again, I won't do your homework."

"Alright." Li Yan glanced at the time. "Just woke up, huh? Aren't you going to eat? Why did you call me? What, you missed me?"

"Get out! Get out!" Jiang Yingzhu's irritable voice rang out. "Think of you my foot! I almost forgot where you put the noodles!"

"The drawer under the cabinet on the right," Li Yan said, then asked, somewhat surprised.
"Are you going to do it yourself?"

"We made it ourselves."

"You guys have fun, but be careful."

Jiang Yingzhu said she didn't understand what he was saying and slammed the phone down.

Not long after, a burnt smell suddenly entered her nostrils. Jiang Yingzhu looked at the slightly blackened fried eggs in the pan, panicked, turned off the heat, and quickly sent a message to Li Yan for help.

Bamboo: What should I do if the fried egg is a little overcooked?

Yan: What do you mean? Let me see.
Bamboo: [Image]

Yan: I've taken a screenshot. Let's add some cheese.

Jiang Yingzhu was a little confused. What was cheese? She seemed to have seen it on bread. Could it be used to fry eggs?

Bamboo: Why

Derivative: Cheese Resurrection
Jiang Yingzhu gritted her teeth. She was about to miss lunch, and this person was even telling her jokes.
She remembered it and would tell the joke to Tian Tian later.

Bamboo: Stop joking! What are we going to do?!

Yan: Fry them again. Anyway, there are so many eggs in the fridge. If you burn them all, then you...
Bamboo: Then I should learn how to fry an egg.

Yan: Then you won't need to eat lunch.
Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback and looked at the time; it was past twelve.

Just then, Mei Mengqian, who was cooking noodles, called out softly.

"What's wrong, Mengmeng? Did you get burned?" Jiang Yingzhu quickly went over.

Mei Mengqian shook her head and pointed to the noodles in the iron pot, saying:
"Zhuzhu, it seems like you cooked too much. I only put in a little bit of noodles, how could there be so much?"

Jiang Yingzhu also looked into the pot, which was full of water, filled with white noodles that were bubbling around.

She scratched her head. "I don't know, but one thing is for sure."

"what?"

"We'll just have noodles for lunch, nothing else is needed."

Mei Mengqian glanced into Jiang Yingzhu's pot and immediately understood.

"Okay, but it seems like the two of them can't finish it all. Should we leave some for Li Yan?"

"can."

So the two of them scooped out the noodles and put them into three bowls, making sure they were level with the noodles.

Looking at the white noodles, Mei Mengqian felt she was already full and didn't really want to eat.

Just then, Jiang Yingzhu brought over a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.

She scooped three or four spoonfuls into each of their bowls. "Let me think, how about some sesame oil?" Jiang Yingzhu remembered they didn't have any at home, and immediately waved her hand.

"So be it!"

She mixed the noodles and stirred in the Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. Mei Mengqian followed suit, coating the noodles with specks of red oil and giving off a spicy aroma.

It immediately made me hungry again.

"Hehe, how about that? I'm awesome, right? This is called Little Jiang's Mixed Noodles!" Jiang Yingzhu said to Mei Mengqian triumphantly.

Mei Mengqian nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Did Li Yan teach you to eat it this way before?"

"Hey! You're pretty smart."

When Li Yan returned, he saw two women washing dishes, and on the kitchen counter, there was a bowl of completely burnt noodles.

"What? Did you save this for me?"

“Yes, we saved this especially for you. We’re so good to you!” Jiang Yingzhu said.

"That's great, then keep an eye on me."

"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian both turned to look at him, thinking he had been injured during his trip.

"Want me to stir-fry some?"

“It looks somewhat similar,” Jiang Yingzhu said.

Li Yan twitched his lips. "A little?"

“Just,” Mei Mengqian pinched it between her index finger and thumb, “just a little bit.”

Li Yan decided not to argue with them for the time being. He took out the braised food he had bought, placed it on the coffee table in the living room, and then turned on the TV to watch it.

The sitcom "iPartment" is airing right now, perfect for watching while eating.

He laid out his black duck wings, duck neck bones, chicken wing tips, and chicken feet, and also took out lotus root slices, dried bean curd sticks, kelp, and other vegetarian dishes.

Then you can leisurely savor it.

The aroma of braised food filled the air, and Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian suddenly felt that they were not very full.

After washing the dishes, the two did not return to their own room, but instead sat on Li Yan's sofa.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian exchanged a glance as they watched Li Yan enjoy eating the duck wings.

"Are the duck wings tasty?"

"delicious."

"If it's delicious, I'll try it too." Jiang Yingzhu picked up a duck wing without any hesitation.

Li Yan knew she wouldn't be reserved, and Mei Mengqian followed suit.

"Zhuzhu, are the duck wings delicious?"

"I'll feed you one and you'll see."

"woo"

The two foodies are a bit different. Mei Mengqian knows her appetite and eats slowly and carefully, just to savor the taste. It took her half an hour to finish a duck wing.

Jiang Yingzhu was different; she forced herself to eat even when she couldn't, and as a result, she ate very little.

The discomfort in her stomach finally overwhelmed the stimulation of her taste buds, and she suddenly found it difficult to even get up. Touching her round little belly, Jiang Yingzhu lay on the sofa and sighed.

"Li Yan, you've gotten me pregnant, you have to take responsibility!"

"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" Mei Mengqian coughed incessantly, completely bewildered by her words.

Li Yan rolled his eyes, but considering she was using her stomach to think, he decided not to pursue the matter.

"I'll help you get rid of it."

"How do you fight like this?"

"Buy some digestive tablets," Li Yan said.

"I want the sweet kind!" Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand.

Li Yan rolled his eyes, ignored him, and walked out. His divine sense could easily observe Jiang Yingzhu's physical condition.

It's simply a case of overeating; most people would probably need to go to the hospital to induce vomiting.

Jiang Yingzhu's digestive ability was greatly enhanced after being modified by the Peiyuan Pill, and she would be fine after a while.

There was a pharmacy right next to Li Yan's apartment building. He went in and bought two boxes of digestive tablets. After carrying the medicine out the door, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he pushed aside an elderly woman who was about to pass by.

The woman stumbled and almost fell. Just as she was about to start cursing, she heard a loud bang. A brick that had been standing there had smashed to the ground and shattered in two.

The woman's face immediately changed, turning completely pale. She repeatedly thanked Li Yan:
"Young man, thank you so much!"

Li Yan nodded, then left, without giving it any further thought.
If the woman hadn't been so close to him, and he hadn't been afraid of being scammed—they were complete strangers, and he'd only met her once—he really wouldn't have bothered to make a move.

Li Yan followed the path traced by the bricks with his divine sense and saw two children playing and laughing on the rooftop of the house.

They took pieces of stone or wood from the rooftop and competed to see who could throw them the farthest.

Li Yan frowned slightly, and with a slight movement of his divine sense, he caused the two mischievous children to faint.

According to his estimate, he would be dizzy for at most a day, just a small lesson.

He then used his divine sense to search and found the parents of the two children, who were two old men.

When his consciousness stirred again, the old man also fainted. It is the father's fault if he does not teach his son properly.

These two old men look like guardians. If they don't discipline the child properly, then they should just let him faint for a couple of days.

Children as young as a few years old have incomplete mental development, cannot distinguish between good and evil, nor do they know right from wrong, making them most prone to causing trouble.

This is where the guardian's role becomes crucial. Unfortunately, some guardians are unable to distinguish between good and evil, and are ungrateful, which is despicable.

Li Yan wouldn't pursue the child's responsibility, after all, some children of that age aren't even as intelligent as dogs in the countryside.

He might be disgusted by a dog bite, but he wouldn't retaliate. However, the dog owner would be in trouble.
