I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 157 Do I look like a human being?

Li Yan roughly figured out what happened while he was away.

So I decided to cook a nice meal that night.

While there was still time, he knocked on the door of the next room.

Mei Mengqian opened the door, but Li Yan didn't go in; he just glanced at her.

"Just woke up? Where's Zhuzhu?"

"She's probably still sleeping. I'll go wake her up."

“Okay, tell her we’re going to the supermarket for a big shopping trip.”

"Okay!"

Mei Mengqian's eyes lit up; she had almost finished her snacks.

But she doesn't really want to go out, and buying online would mean waiting several days, which doesn't meet her need for food that she wants immediately.

Soon, Jiang Yingzhu also woke up.

The two girls washed their faces, glanced at themselves in the mirror, and then followed Li Yan out.

They went to Zhongbai Department Store next to the Cultural Palace, which wasn't far, so they walked.

"Let me think of what I should buy: jelly, potato chips, and chicken drumsticks."

Jiang Yingzhu muttered to herself, and then went to Mei Mengqian to discuss which dishes were the best.

Then he remembered that Li Yan was also there, so he asked:

"What are you going to buy?"

"Ingredients, let's make something nice for dinner."

"Wow, you're quite diligent. I want to eat braised pork." Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up.

"Do!"

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at Mei Mengqian, "Cola chicken wings."

"no problem."

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes darted around, and she began to recite the names of the dishes.

"Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish!"

"can."

"Wensi Tofu!"

"no problem."

"Boiled cabbage in clear broth!"

Li Yan glanced at her, then suddenly took out his phone and said:
"Let's book a plane ticket and go to Kyoto for a state banquet. There will be all kinds of delicacies."

"Really!"

“It’s fake,” Li Yan said coldly.

"You look like a state banquet."

Jiang Yingzhu snorted.

"Of course, I'm the highest grade, you're just a donkey meat sandwich, you're not good enough for this!"

The two were bickering, and Mei Mengqian was watching, knowing she wouldn't participate.

She had already gone through a lot by enduring the strange looks from people on the street instead of distancing herself from the two of them and pretending not to know them.

Upon entering the supermarket, Jiang Yingzhu immediately ignored Li Yan and instead discussed with Mei Mengqian what to buy first.

What a heartless woman.

Jiang Yingzhu had only been chatting for a few minutes when she suddenly realized that Li Yan was gone.

They were heading to the toiletries section, intending to ask Li Yan if they needed to change their towels or something.

"Where is that guy?" Jiang Yingzhu asked, puzzled.

Mei Mengqian's eyes darted around and landed on a shelf next to her.

Jiang Yingzhu looked over and saw Li Yan squatting there, looking at a row of cars with great interest.

Oh, and there are car models too.

Then, under the envious gazes of the children around him, Li Yan took down the largest car model and picked up a car as well.

Two or three hundred, I guess.

Mei Mengqian blinked, remembering that model; it seemed to be called the Cosmic Star God.

Jiang Yingzhu seemed somewhat interested, pointing to the airplane beside her and saying:

"And bring an airplane too!"

"No, it doesn't look good."

Li Yan bought these not for fun, but simply as decorations.

"Heh." Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes. "Childish."

"Don't play around then."

"You say you won't play, but I'm going to play anyway."

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at him sideways, feeling smug. She hadn't had an excuse before, but now one had appeared.

Li Yan didn't continue talking to her there. He went to the food area and started picking and choosing among the various vegetables.

"How did you choose them?" Mei Mengqian secretly tried to learn how to select ingredients.

"Pretending."

"what?"

"As long as I act professionally, I can fool these ingredients, and the bad ones won't dare to come out."

Mei Mengqian smiled, feeling speechless, but also finding Li Yan's childish behavior quite amusing.

Li Yan uses his divine sense to select ingredients, so any flaws are easy to spot, though he can't say them outright.

So even though he was talking nonsense, everything in the basket was top-quality.

The old man next to him saw it immediately and said:

"Young man, your method is unorthodox."

"Grandpa, this is called 'the mind is all things,' the philosophy of Yangming. To learn this, you first need to be cultured."

"That makes sense." The old man felt this was the right way.

It turns out that my ability to spot bad vegetables at a glance after buying groceries for so many years is actually a matter of mindset.

Li Yan left the vegetable section, picked out a mandarin fish, weighed out two jin of beef, and got a piece of pork belly.

Although he wanted to do something good, he didn't plan to do too much, because Jiang Yingzhu would easily overeat if he did too much.

Unlike Mei Mengqian, who knows how to restrain herself, this person won't give up until she reaches her limit, and the same goes for eating.

Li Yan suddenly remembered that he could now use the Spirit Gathering Array.

Perhaps I can cultivate some spiritual creatures myself.

He plans to wait until the company has grown a bit larger before trying it out and choosing a better location.

After buying meat and vegetables, Li Yan also bought some homemade cold dishes from the supermarket.

Upon arriving at the rice, flour, and cooking oil section, we pulled Jiang Yingzhu, who had been playing with rice with Mei Mengqian, back to the area.

“Look, none of the other kids are having as much fun as you,” Li Yan said, pointing to a little girl being held by her parent.

“That’s right!” Jiang Yingzhu winked at the little girl.

"Who am I? Nobody knows how to have fun better than me."

Am I complimenting you?

"That saleswoman is just playing around by herself, isn't she?"

Jiang Yingzhu pointed to a worker wearing a red vest. The worker, who was loading goods, paused and pulled his hand out of the rice bin.

He was holding a shovel that had been buried in the ground.

Jiang Yingzhu stopped talking and pulled Mei Mengqian to the snack area.

Half an hour later, the three of them returned home carrying six large bags.

Li Yan went into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients, and Jiang Yingzhu secretly took out the bag containing toys and said to Mei Mengqian:

"Mengmeng, do you really want to play?"

"I think about it." Mei Mengqian glanced at her and nodded hesitantly.

"Then I'll be the first to try it out and steal Li Yan's virginity!"

"it is good!"

Having reached a consensus, the two immediately unpacked the package and took out the remote-controlled model car and the model of the Cosmic God.

Jiang Yingzhu casually put the model aside, picked up the car, looked at it, and put in the battery.

He ran to the stairwell and called out to Li Hua, the neighbor's child, to come out and pay his respects.

Li Hua's eyes lit up when he saw the cool-looking model sports car.

"Wow!"

"Watch closely, I'm going to perform a dragon tail sweep."

However, model cars costing two or three hundred yuan are just children's toys; they don't have anything like dragon tails.

The hallway was a bit dark, and the car crashed directly into a dozing black cat.

The black cat belongs to the family living in the innermost room, and it likes to visit other households when it has nothing to do.

Jiang Yingzhu remembers that when she was a child, she didn't like to close the balcony when she slept. Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night and see a black cat squatting in front of her bed.

She boasted about it to Li Yan, who told her that the black cat was a psychic and there must be something on her bed.

She was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep all night.

The next day she asked Li Yan for a solution.

Li Yan said you should wait for the black cat to speak. If he asks you, "Do I look like a human?", you should say you look like a cat.

So Jiang Yingzhu didn't sleep all night again.

He doesn't sleep at night but sleeps during the day, so all the delicious food Aunt Fang buys during the day is eaten by Li Yan!
Enraged, she caught the black cat that night and gave it a good beating!
So now, this black cat meows loudly whenever it sees her.

Jiang Yingzhu ignored it and controlled the model to reverse.

The black cat probably mistook the model for something Jiang Yingzhu would use to attack it; with a flick of its leg, the model car was kicked away and rolled down the stairs.

"Oh no! Li Hua, quickly help me pick it up!"

Jiang Yingzhu didn't go; now that she'd grown up, she was no longer a match for the black cat.

"I want to play."

"no problem."

Two hours later, Li Yan had prepared a table full of dishes.

Stir-fried beef, braised pork, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, cola chicken wings, and radish and beef soup, plus a few other home-style dishes that the three of us love.

It's definitely not enough to finish in one meal.

Jiang Yingzhu let out a loud groan and was about to sit on the table when Mei Mengqian swallowed hard.

It smelled so good that she couldn't resist eating it.

Li Yan stopped Jiang Yingzhu and pointed to the model on the coffee table.

"Why is my car scratched?"

"Li Hua did it!"

Good, good, if I hadn't activated my divine sense, Li Hua would have been unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yangtze River.

"I don't believe you for a second. I'm going to go and call Li Hua over."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yingzhu made a tearful expression.

"Our feelings have faded, and he doesn't even believe what I say anymore."

"Let's eat."

Li Yan turned around and sat down without saying a word.

After a weekend, Li Yan could tell that Jiang Yingzhu was almost fully recovered.

However, he still didn't get to see the slut again.

Monday, flag-raising ceremony.

Li Yan received an 800 yuan bonus and took the opportunity to give a speech as a representative of outstanding students.

Also speaking was Hua Junshu, who was also the first to speak.

After Hua Junshu finished speaking, Li Yan called her over.

"Senior, are you free tomorrow night? Let's have dinner together."

"Huh?" Hua Junshu was taken aback. "I'm free this evening, but I have to study tonight."

"I can skip evening self-study, right?" Li Yan blinked.

“Zhuzhu and Mengmeng are here too.”

Hua Junshu didn't refute his words, but asked in confusion, "Why are we suddenly having dinner together?"

"Guess what? Senior is so smart, she should be able to guess, right?"

Li Yan blinked, then walked past her and returned to his own class.

Hua Junshu walked towards the classroom at a leisurely pace. In fact, she was more willful than Li Yan at school.

Unless absolutely necessary, he is rarely seen on the playground during long breaks.

Thinking about what Li Yan had just said, Hua Junshu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a surge of heat suddenly well up in his chest, bringing a tingling sensation to his whole body.

Despite the loud noise on the playground, all she could hear was the pounding of her own heart.

"Could it be."

A complex look flashed in Hua Junshu's eyes.

There was both anticipation and no anticipation.

She suddenly longed for tomorrow to come immediately, but then a sense of fear washed over her.

After standing there for a long time, Hua Junshu finally calmed down his turbulent emotions and returned to the classroom to continue studying.

Tuesday arrived as scheduled.

Hua Junshu woke up early in the morning without thinking about anything.

After she finished washing up, her phone suddenly rang.

When I took it out, I saw it was Li Yan's QQ account.

"Senior, don't eat out for breakfast, I'll bring you some."

"You've arrived at school?!"
