I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 338 You're getting bolder and bolder.

The long street was dimly lit at night, and although the streetlights were on, there were still patches of shadow.

Mei Mengqian followed beside Li Yan, not particularly drawn to the Meng Po soup in the distance, but instead glanced at Zhu Zhu holding Li Yan's hand.

The next second, she reached out and grabbed Li Yan's hand as well.

The five delicate, white fingers of her small hand slipped smoothly between Li Yan's fingers and pressed against his palm.

Li Yan turned to look at Mengmeng and said in a voice only she could hear:
"You're getting bolder and bolder."

"As for the subject matter, I don't know what it feels like to hold hands on the street."

Good, good, good. Socialist progress is missing people like you who are pragmatic and realistic.

Li Yan shook his head and chuckled, stroking Mengmeng's smooth fingers, then glanced at Jiang Yingzhu, who was one step ahead of him.

He not only knew what it felt like to hold hands in the street, but he also knew what it felt like to hold hands with two people.

Upon arriving at the Meng Po soup stall, Mei Mengqian saw Jiang Yingzhu release Li Yan and quickly let go as well.

There were quite a few people here, and many eyes were fixed on us.

When it was their turn, Jiang Yingzhu immediately spoke.

"Boss, how much is the Meng Po soup?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced into the pot and sniffed.

It looks like lotus root soup, but I don't know if it's fresh or clean.

"Twenty yuan a bowl, handsome guy and beautiful lady, how many bowls would you like?"

The old woman spoke with a smile, pointing to the spicy hot pot on the side.

"It tastes good with those too."

"So expensive!" Li Yan glanced at the bowl she used to hold the soup; it was the kind of shallow bowl used for hot dry noodles. He was a little speechless.
"It's freshly made! If you don't like it, you don't have to pay!"

Li Yan scanned it with his divine sense, unable to tell if it was fresh or not, but it wasn't dirty either, so he said indifferently:
"Give me four bowls of the bad ones."

Jiang Yingzhu, who was watching him perform, was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. Mei Mengqian couldn't hold it in either, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

The students queuing behind were all dumbfounded. What kind of answer was that?

"It's amazing!"

"I want a bowl that doesn't taste good too!"

The old woman was a little numb, and the boss next to her chuckled twice.

"That young man is quite humorous."

"Right?" Li Yan said expressionlessly, turning to look at Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian.

Would you like some soup?

Jiang Yingzhu didn't want to be ripped off; such a small amount cost twenty yuan. She would have bought it if the shopkeeper had used a deep bowl for the soup noodles.

What, was it really brewed by Meng Po (the goddess of forgetfulness)?

"Buy some spicy hot pot."

“Me too.” Mei Mengqian nodded.

The roadside spicy hot pot wasn't expensive; a few of us bought four portions for eight yuan, which made a large bowl.

"Let's go, let's deliver this to my senior."

Jiang Yingzhu ate as she walked, dipping the crispy little steamed buns in the soup and slurping them up – it was absolutely delicious!
"I thought mala tang would be more expensive, but it's actually quite cheap."

"Maybe it's a marketing strategy, so that the mala tang might sell more?" Mei Mengqian said hesitantly.

"What about the Meng Po soup? It was all for nothing."

"How could it be for nothing!" The old woman glared at her son.

"If we can't sell them all today, we'll keep selling them tomorrow. So what if they're a little more expensive? Your dad and I worked hard for half a year to dig these out of the ground. Those big restaurants sell them for over a hundred, and people still buy them!"

"Mom, you're scaring away all my regular customers."

"I'll help you sell them, what are you afraid of!"

The middle-aged man sighed, thinking that doing business requires being willing to give; otherwise, you can't do business.

But seeing the old man's expression, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

He secretly thought he would go back and pour out the soup.

The group arrived at the senior high school building and found that Class 1 of the senior year was still having a lesson, seemingly explaining the test papers.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian exchanged a glance, both secretly astonished.

"What should I do now?"

"It's nothing." Li Yan walked straight to the window next to the senior student, and after attracting the attention of the lecturer, he nodded politely.

Then he handed the hot pot through the window and placed it in front of Hua Junshu, who was still intently looking at his exam paper.

"Frog Fun! She's the prettiest girl in our class!"

"Stop howling, it's been a year, bro, you should get used to it. The cherry blossoms in our hometown are blooming."

"Your statement is quite complex, it has many components."

The quiet classroom suddenly erupted into a noisy discussion.

Hua Junshu didn't pay attention to any of this. He turned his head to look at Li Yan outside the window and took the spicy hot pot.

"have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Oh." Hua Junshu glanced at the teacher on the podium and said frankly:
"I haven't finished class yet, you guys go home first."

She had already spotted Zhuzhu and Mengmeng lurking suspiciously behind Li Yan.

"Okay, don't leave it for too long, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Li Yan said something, then turned and left.

The teacher on the podium had a complicated expression, but when he thought of Hua Junshu's grades, his dissatisfaction immediately disappeared.

"Everyone, please be quiet. We'll continue the lesson. Those of you by the window, please don't talk, it will disturb Hua."

It affected Hua.
What impact?
Although it wasn't said, the students in Class 1 of Senior Three, who had been transferred for two years, immediately grasped the essence of these words.

"Senior is amazing!" Jiang Yingzhu couldn't help but exclaim when she heard the voice behind her.

"I'm not good enough?" Li Yan raised an eyebrow.

"You're being arrogant and domineering, and you look down on everyone."

Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes at him. "Is it Mengmeng?"

"Yes."

Then Li Yan stared at them intently, "Who said I'm arrogant? You're all I see."

Jiang Yingzhu felt a sweet sensation in her heart, then felt something was off. She glared at the person and raised her hand to punch him.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Mei Mengqian lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then she reached out and pinched Li Yan's waist.

Upon entering the classroom, a commotion of shouting and yelling erupted.

"Get out of the way!" "It's coming!"

"Fuck!"

Li Yan looked inside and saw a wasp scurrying around the classroom, causing the whole class to shout and yell.

Some people covered their bodies with their coats and lay down pretending to be dead.

Someone waved a broom, casting a spell from a distance to drive away the wasps.

There were also some screaming and running around aimlessly.

Wasps love to chase after those that make noise.

It's shouting so loudly, you can tell it's very healthy.

Seeing the wasps circling around their seats, and the elementary school students sitting in their seats covering their heads like ostriches, Jiang Yingzhu shouted loudly.

"Bingbing, run! Watch out, wasps might crawl in from underneath!"

These words struck a nerve with Yu Bing, sending a shiver down her spine.

Just like that female ghost who can crawl into people's beds.

You're perfectly safe in bed with the blankets covering you, how could you get in?!

Immediately afterwards, the students who were dressed as ostriches quickly crouched down and retreated.

The wasps were still circling around in the middle.

Seeing this, Li Yan picked up the blackboard eraser stuck to the side of the blackboard and swung it at the wasp, hitting it squarely.

Wow! That class monitor is awesome!

“That’s right!”

"It's here! It's a sniper! We're saved!"

Li Yan glanced at the group of people who were making a fuss.

"Want to learn? Go catch a wasp first."

"Class monitor, don't joke about hell."

Whether it was luck or not, everyone in the class breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the wasp fall directly onto the table and become immobile.

Back in her seat, Jiang Yingzhu examined the black insect for a moment, then swept it into the trash can.

She glanced at Li Yan again.

"I didn't expect you to be so lucky. It's not my turn to make a move."

"hehe."

At first, everyone thought the wasp that flew into the classroom was just an accident.

Until the next few days, or even a week.

The school clinic is constantly receiving people who have been stung, including not only students but also teachers.

Some people even had to drop out of school because of this, since wasps are different from ordinary bees and are very poisonous.

"It's said to be a hornet's nest. The school is still investigating, but they haven't found the nest yet."

"Will there be a holiday? School is so dangerous."

"I heard that someone applied for a month off after being stung. I wish I could be stung too."

Listening to these discussions, Jiang Yingzhu sighed.

"Looks like we can't have PE class today. Apparently, the playground is where the most crimes happen."

Mei Mengqian didn't feel it was a pity.

"Safety is important. If you get stung on the face, you'll be disfigured, right, Li Yan?"

"I don't know, but it's better to be cautious."

"Hey, how are we supposed to have PE class in the classroom?" Jiang Yingzhu complained.

Li Yan remained silent and instead extended his divine sense.

He did not observe any beehives on the campus of No. 6 Middle School in the past few days.

I didn't go to the playground, so I didn't pay much attention to these things at school.

However, it seems that wasps are quite rampant now.

Then we'll have to investigate thoroughly.

Soon, his divine sense located the beehive near Feiyun Mountain outside the Sixth Middle School.

It was hidden quite well.

His vast divine consciousness transformed into millions of invisible tiny stingers, annihilating all the wasps moving around him, including those inside the hive.

Just as he withdrew his divine sense, he suddenly saw a red vehicle driving towards the Sixth Middle School.

A few seconds later, the person by the window let out a surprised sound.

"Fire truck! It's a fire truck!"

"Damn it! This stupid school finally thought to call the fire department!"

Hearing the discussion over there, Jiang Yingzhu hurried over to take a look.

"Li Yan, why don't we go to the scene and take a look?"

She had barely finished speaking when the phone rang.

Since it was a physical education class, which was also a self-study period, many people, including Jiang Yingzhu, lay on the corridor to watch the fire truck enter the campus and then a bunch of firefighters in uniform came down.

Just as they were engrossed in watching, a serious voice suddenly came from the side.

"Class has started! What are you all doing standing outside? Go back to the classroom!"

Turning their heads, they saw physics teacher Lin Aoshuang standing at the door, looking at them with serious eyes.

"Ah? Teacher Lin, it's you?!"

Jiang Yingzhu had a bad feeling.

"Your PE teacher was stung by a wasp and is hospitalized, so we'll have physics class today."

"Oh, the PE teacher is so pitiful!"

Jiang Yingzhu thought this day would come a little later, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Back in her seat and as class began, Mei Mengqian took a moment to whisper to Li Yan:

"Li Yan, do you think the school might have deliberately brought a swarm of wasps here so that the PE teacher could have a reason to get injured?"

"I think you've been writing too many novels. You should watch less of those videos that teach you how to write novels."

Li Yan was speechless, but Jiang Yingzhu felt it was very likely.

"Mengmeng is right."

"That's not right at all. Teacher Lin could have just said she wanted this PE class, but she had to make up some excuse to fool you."

Jiang Yingzhu pretended not to hear and muttered to herself:

"I don't know how those firefighters caught the wasps."
