I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 328 It’s your own fault.
"well enough?"

Li Yanshang didn't stop, smoothing her hair while drying it with a hairdryer.

"Not bad?!" Jiang Yingzhu raised an eyebrow.

Li Yan put down the hairdryer and took her hand, which she had suddenly raised.

"It's alright, but I still like you the most, since we've been holding hands since we were little."

Jiang Yingzhu pursed her lips, abruptly pulled her hand back, forcefully suppressing the burning sensation surging across her face, and let out a soft hum.

"Who's been holding your hand since you were a child? You shameless thing."

After saying that, she tossed her dry, smooth, neck-length hair, picked up the hairdryer, and left.

Li Yan watched from behind; he was running really fast.

He stepped out of the house and into the courtyard to admire the stars in the sky.

Then my phone beeped with a message.

Li Yan took it out and glanced at it, and found that it was from the Feiyun Courtyard group chat.

Mei Mengqian: Teacher Zhao just called me and said that if we're going to cruise Erhai Lake tomorrow, we can go with her.

Hua Junshu didn't speak immediately, after all, she wasn't familiar with Teacher Zhao.

Jiang Yingzhu: No need, they have a child with them, let's not trouble them.

Jiang Yingzhu: Maybe it's just a polite gesture.

Mei Mengqian: Oh, I'll reply then.

Hua Junshu: The weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow, so we might not be able to circle Erhai Lake.

Hua Junshu: It's not that I can't swim, but the experience will definitely be bad.
Li Yan: Don't worry, I observed the celestial phenomena last night, tomorrow will be a clear day.
While sending a message with one hand, Li Yan made a hand seal with the other, remotely summoning a gust of air that slowly carried the moisture from Dali to the next room.

In the group chat, Hua Junshu didn't take his words seriously either.

They only said it would depend on the situation tomorrow.

Jiang Yingzhu offered suggestions, saying that if they couldn't go, they could go get something to eat.

They also listed many small shops they hadn't visited at night.

She could talk to herself even if no one paid attention to her, let alone with Mei Mengqian occasionally chiming in.

Even though the four of them live very close to each other, practically next to each other, they still insist on sending messages and chatting in the group chat. I don't know what's wrong with them.

Li Yan put down his phone, glanced at the clearer night sky, and went back to his room to cultivate.

Upon reaching the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm, his cultivation progress was noticeably slower than when he reached the Essence Refining and Qi Transformation realm.

However, one thing he was certain of was that he had imprinted that Great Dao Rune on Wudang Mountain during the last May Day holiday.

His cultivation speed has increased somewhat.

Li Yan felt as if the single-channel data transmission of a computer component had been changed to dual-channel.

Golden light pierced the darkness, awakening the slumbering city.

The scattered sounds gradually became noisy, like a pot of water slowly boiling.

Li Yan opened his eyes and got up to wash up.

Although his body is now practically spotless, it would be a waste to buy Jiang Yingzhu's face wash and not use it.

Toothpaste smells nice, something our bodies can't provide.

As Li Yan was brushing his teeth in front of the door, Jiang Yingzhu and the other two also came out one after another.

However, their appearance also reveals whether they get up early or late.

My senior always wakes up very early, even before the alarm goes off.

She opened her eyes a minute before the alarm went off and turned it off.

Li Yan remembered that he had experienced similar moments several times in his previous life.

But the flower tree does this almost every day, which is absolutely terrifying.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian woke up around the same time. At this moment, they were holding toothbrushes and, like Li Yan, standing on the steps in front of the door to wash their mouths.

"Snoring~ puff puff puff~~"

He spat the water in his mouth onto the ground in the yard, watching it seep into the ground through the cracks in the old blue bricks.

Jiang Yingzhu found a bit of the feeling she had when she was a child in the countryside, brushing her teeth in the morning mist.

She could take her toothbrush cup and brush all the way to Li Yan's rice bed, then spit the mouthwash all over his floor.

No matter how much you think about it, brushing your teeth is still a very troublesome thing.

"Do you know any animals that don't need to brush their teeth and whose mouths are always clean and smell nice?"

This question stumped both Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu.

Li Yan then said:
"What, it's none of your business even if it exists."

"Can't I even express my curiosity?"

"Then what's there to be curious about? We have one at home."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu also looked at him curiously.

"Where is it?"

"Isn't Laba Festival the best time to clean a cat's mouth? The lysozyme in a cat's mouth is the best cleaning agent, and cats love to lick their fur, which indirectly cleans their mouths. You could say they spend most of their day cleaning their mouths."

Upon hearing this, the three looked at him, lost in thought, and suspected that he was talking nonsense to fool them.

But it does make some sense.

And I've never smelled anything strange coming from Laba's mouth.

If there is no answer, then skip the question.

"It's such a beautiful sunny day today."

Hua Junshu looked up at the clear blue sky, without a single cloud.

"Let's go have breakfast. What would you like to eat?"

"That lousy cake," Jiang Yingzhu said, "I didn't get to eat it yesterday."

Several girls put on hats, grabbed their phones, and went out with Li Yan.

Erhai Lake has east and west routes; the west route is for cycling, while the east route is for driving, offering different experiences.

After dinner, the four of them discussed it and decided to explore the western route first.

Starting from Caicun Wharf, I rented a bicycle and rode along the ecological corridor. Looking up, I could see the shimmering Erhai Lake, like a gem that had been polished for thousands of years.

"Wow, Li Yan, look! It's so beautiful!"

"I'm watching it."

Li Yan glanced at the excited girl riding her bike beside him. The gentle breeze that wasn't cold brushed her face combed her hair back, revealing her smooth-featured face.

The sunlight painted a golden edge on her face, making her already handsome features appear even more solemn and holy.

If she doesn't shout or yell, she complements the beautiful scenery of the water and sky blending into one in the distance.

"Are you looking at Erhai Lake?" Jiang Yingzhu muttered softly, pedaling her bike less to keep up with his speed.

Behind the two were Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian. It wasn't that they didn't want to be in the same row, but there were other cars on the road.

Mei Mengqian glanced at Li Yan ahead and pouted, but her little mood was quickly replaced by the passing scenery.

Rather than looking at the sea, she preferred the occasional glimpse of a Bai ethnic village amidst the wild countryside, a scene of harmony between humanity and nature.

Hua Junshu was much simpler. She looked at everything, but most of the time, she paid attention to the movements of the three people and the surroundings to avoid any accidents.

After riding for a while, the group decided to take some photos first.

Feeling embarrassed to stop other cars that were already moving, Li Yan took the photos for them.

Then we took photos of the other three people; the group photo wasn't the most important thing.

The most important photos are of the scenery.

Jiang Yingzhu stood on a grassy slope, hands in her pockets, looking at Erhai Lake. After posing for a while, she couldn't help but sway.

"Is it not finished filming yet?"

"Alright, you seem to be enjoying yourself standing there. People passing by are all glancing at you."

Li Yan said this while picking out photos taken in a burst.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes, while Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian, who had just finished filming, couldn't help but laugh.

Well, to put it simply, Zhu Zhu would suddenly realize she'd been seriously offended by something and then enjoy the act of showing off. And Li Yan would also be the type to let her continue like this, even if it made him uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a woman who looked to be in her early twenties walked up behind Jiang Yingzhu.

As soon as they got close, they launched into a barrage of questions:
"Hey, why were you taking pictures of me without my permission? Who gave you permission to do so?!"

While questioning him, she also held up her phone with the camera pointed at Li Yan, seemingly recording a video.

Jiang Yingzhu and the other two were taken aback for a moment, and then realized who they were questioning, and immediately frowned.

"Who took your picture? With the three of us here, would he take a picture of you without our permission?"

The girl glanced at Jiang Yingzhu and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"You say there isn't, then there isn't. What's wrong with the three of you here? All men are lustful. I just saw him taking pictures this way. I can only say that I'm prettier than you guys."

Upon hearing this, even Mei Mengqian, who has a good personality, couldn't help but look at him strangely.

The girl in front of me wasn't bad-looking, but she wasn't pretty either. She had a double chin, a pig-like nose, and a thick layer of putty on her face.

She found this situation hard to understand; she was beautiful and knew she was beautiful.

So, don't those who are of average appearance know that they are average-looking?

The woman retorted to Jiang Yingzhu, then ignored them and continued to argue with Li Yan:
"Why did you take pictures of me without my permission? Give me your phone now and delete the photos, and I can let bygones be bygones."

"Neuropathy."

Hua Junshu rarely speaks out. He stepped forward and, before the woman could react, knocked the phone out of her hand.

The woman screamed and was about to bend down to pick it up when Jiang Yingzhu glanced at her leg, kicked it, and knocked her to the ground.

Then he picked up the phone and threw it forcefully into the sea.

"I'll help you realize your dreams; mentally ill people shouldn't be on their phones."

Jiang Yingzhu remained unfazed, and although she attracted the attention of several passersby, she was not afraid at all.

At worst, it's just a phone to replace it.

Li Yan glanced at the woman who was about to scream as her phone flew away.

In an instant, she seemed to fall silent, unable to utter a single word.

This surprised Jiang Yingzhu and Hua Junshu, who were prepared to bear her wrath.

"Is she furious? That's too fragile."

"Maybe my senior was right," Mei Mengqian said softly.

Li Yan glanced at Mengmeng; honest kids always have such sweet words.

"Let's go, ignore her."

Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback. "Just like that?"

"Otherwise? We don't know her." Li Yan had just used his divine sense to scan the bag of the woman who looked like a college student.

They actually found a university ID.

This reminded him of some things from his past life, and of this unusually similar behavior.

He shook his head; he had brought this upon himself.

Silently changing the temporary mark he had just made to permanent, Li Yan took the lead and walked down the grassy slope to continue cycling.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu and the other two followed behind, walking side by side, and couldn't help but discuss the woman from earlier.

"Why did that guy suddenly come up to find Li Yan?"

"Maybe it's because he's handsome?" Mei Mengqian was writing a novel, and all she could think about was the plot.
"I wanted to attract Li Yan's attention and then make him fall for me."

Li Yan couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that his mental state was not considered normal by the general public in this era, but at least his aesthetic sense was normal.

"Mengmeng, watch less of Green River."

Mei Mengqian blinked, her face flushed, and she said "Oh".

“I think Mengmeng’s words make a lot of sense,” Jiang Yingzhu nodded. “She probably thinks that attacking you makes her look better than us, so she’s prettier than us.”

“No way.” Hua Junshu said, “I’ve seen similar things online. Li Yan is quite famous, so she probably knows him.”

Jiang Yingzhu doesn't think things through; she just follows whoever talks the most, so she nodded in agreement again.

"So, boys also need to protect themselves when they're out," Li Yan concluded.

"Don't talk like you're so cute."

Jiang Yingzhu pretended to vomit, kicked a few times to overtake Li Yan, and made her inhale her exhaust fumes.

After thinking for a moment, I realized that bicycles don't emit exhaust fumes.

But then again...
Exhaust fumes don't necessarily have to come from bicycles!
After a while, Jiang Yingzhu ultimately did not do anything against the will of Heaven.

This puzzled Li Yan, who had been watching her fidgety little bottom for a while.

"Jiang Yingzhu, why are you moving around like that? Do you have hemorrhoids?!"

"Pfft! Cough cough!" Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu, who had secretly ridden up to Li Yan and were positioned to his left and right, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Li Yan, are you trying to die?! You're the one with hemorrhoids! You're covered in hemorrhoids!"

Jiang Yingzhu was furious. She turned around to check the road conditions, intending to slow down and attack Li Yan. She was an expert at riding motorcycles and had experience.

However, they saw Mengmeng and her senior riding next to Li Yan, unable to retreat.

Jiang Yingzhu was even angrier. She really wanted to be shameless and fart in his face!

Just imagining this scene, she could picture it in her mind—it was a funny comic strip—and she couldn't help but giggle.

This left the three people behind them speechless.

Suddenly, a young boy dressed in cycling gear and riding a brightly decorated high-performance mountain bike passed by and glanced at Jiang Yingzhu, who was grinning foolishly.

"Silly Tea".

"??!"

Li Yan coughed, which was inappropriate, but the description given by the seemingly local boy was indeed quite apt.

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes automatically locked onto the enemy, glaring angrily.

If I can't handle Li Yan, how can I not handle a junior high school student like you?

Jiang Yingzhu accelerated, overtook the kid like the wind, then rode back and gave him a trashy gesture.

"vegetable!"

The kid's face immediately turned red. "That's not fair! You attacked me from behind!"

"Shall we have another match?"

Another round of competition, and from then on, the Ghost Fire team lost a rising star.

"Are you going to keep calling or not?"

"Sis, don't follow me!"

"Should we call out or not?!"

"not called."

Jiang Yingzhu turned back satisfied, rode ahead of Li Yan with a heart full of pride, and began to boast:

"I must be awesome."

“I recorded it all: you bullied a child.” Li Yan pointed at her.

"Who bullied the child? I'm about the same age as him."

Jiang Yingzhu's arguments were far-fetched, but to be fair, they made some sense.

Li Yan hadn't expected her to be so quick-witted, so he gave up. At that moment, Hua Junshu reminded him.

"Zhuzhu, don't ride so hard, there's still a long way to go."

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

“I know, but the bike must be tired. I’m afraid you’ll break it apart.”

"Hahaha." Jiang Yingzhu scratched her head, her movements becoming noticeably gentler.

Although she wasn't without the means to lose money, if she actually did lose it, she estimated that Li Yan and the others would talk about it for the rest of their lives.

It's better to have less of a dark past, especially if you don't have any to offset it.
