I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 435 Kowtowing to the Earth God
He likes plum blossoms.

Upon hearing these meaningful words, Mei Mengqian blushed and lowered her head, remaining silent.

Hua Junshu and Jiang Yingzhu glanced at Li Yan sideways, with Jiang Yingzhu standing up for Mengmeng.

"Stop bullying Mengmeng."

"Oh." Li Yan looked at them with a smile. "Shall I bully you a little more?"

Jiang Yingzhu and Hua Junshu rolled their eyes at him.

"You're dead! Who told you to interpret it that way!"

Li Yan shrugged, but then heard Hua Junshu ask, "How do you plan to bully me?"

"Uh"

Seeing the senior's serious expression, Li Yan coughed and said, "I was just kidding."

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu looked at Li Yan with disdain, as if she had won a great victory.

Li Yan ignored her and the dishes were served quickly.

Three dishes and one soup.

Stir-fried pork is a must-order for Jiang Yingzhu every day, while Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu don't order other dishes every day.

Farmhouse restaurants use free-range chickens and pigs, which do indeed give the food a rustic flavor.

Li Yan did indeed see chickens being slaughtered in the kitchen.

But the pig wouldn't know.

After dinner, the four of them went home.

When they arrived at the section of road in front of their house, they found another group of people pointing and gesturing at the fields.

They were dressed fashionably and looked like they were there for a picnic.

"Look, I told you the countryside fields are so green! There are so many wild vegetables, let's pick some to take home."

Li Yan, Jiang Yingzhu, and the others looked puzzled.

I looked at the man in sunglasses who was speaking.

"Um, how do you know these vegetables are wild?" Jiang Yingzhu asked.

Upon hearing this, the man in sunglasses, along with the two girls and a male colleague beside him, looked over.

Their eyes lit up when they saw Li Yan and his group of four.

The man in sunglasses chuckled, "Little girls, you're here for a picnic too, right? We saw you at the farmhouse earlier."

“Look, this area is surrounded by wasteland and no one is watching over it. There’s just that vegetable patch, and those are just wild vegetables.”

"Am I right?"

Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes; it was the first time she had ever seen someone so brazenly steal vegetables.

In the past, you had to sneak around to steal crops in QQ Farm, but you're just showing your face like that?
Jiang Yingzhu said sarcastically, "Oh, that's right. We usually have to go to school, so there's really no one to take care of us here."

“That’s right, it’s just me checking it occasionally.” Li Yan nodded.

Mei Mengqian chimed in, "If nobody cares about you, then you're considered wild. So, are you wild, sir?"

“That’s probably it,” Hua Junshu stated directly, “that’s how uncivilized savages are.”

The four of them chimed in with their banter, leaving the man in sunglasses feeling awkward and speechless.

Just then, the girl with burgundy hair behind the man in sunglasses frowned and said:
"Who are you calling savages?! Is this how your parents taught you to talk to people? And you even said you grew these vegetables? That's hilarious!"

The woman in the wine-red dress glanced disdainfully at Li Yan and his group of four, especially Jiang Yingzhu and her companions.

"You young people, who are lazy and don't know anything about farming, how can you grow vegetables?"

"We're definitely picking these vegetables today!"

Jiang Yingzhu raised an eyebrow.

His eyes searched left and right, looking for something handy.

She prefers to use her fists to deal with scoundrels.

Anyway, there are no security cameras here.

However, Li Yan tugged at her and gently kicked a pebble away from his feet.

The pebble hit the woman in the wine-red dress on the calf with a thud.

As soon as the woman in the wine-red dress turned around, her legs suddenly gave way, and she stumbled twice before falling headfirst into the ground.

The ground is soft; even if an adult falls in, they won't be seriously injured.

But getting covered in mud is unavoidable.

The woman in the wine-red dress was lying face down, and when she raised her face, she looked like a beggar.

The three men in sunglasses were completely unaware of Li Yan's subtle actions.

Upon seeing his companion fall, he immediately cried out in alarm.

"Honghong!"

They rushed to the field to help the woman in red up and offer her words of comfort.

Li Yan moved his feet again, and with three soft thuds, the remaining three men all fell into the field without exception.

"Pfft, hahaha, this is called reaping what you sow."

Jiang Yingzhu laughed without any restraint and took out her phone to film.

"Look, everyone, four clumsy thieves came to my vegetable garden today. They fell right down in the field and kowtowed to the local earth god."

The man in sunglasses had his sunglasses blown off when he saw Jiang Yingzhu filming a video on her phone on the street, and his expression immediately changed.

He roared menacingly, "Zhao! Who gave you permission to take these pictures?! Do you know who we are?!"

Li Yan glanced at the group of people indifferently. The woman in the wine-red dress was quite attractive; he seemed to have seen her on Douyin (TikTok).

“I don’t care who you are, you are now suspected of stealing nationally protected plants. I have already called the police, so go and talk to the police.”

The wine-red woman who fell first laughed, her face full of disdain and malice.

"Perfect timing, we're calling the police too. This field belongs to you, right? We've fallen and gotten injured, so you'll have to pay us compensation."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stumbled and fell again, perhaps because she hadn't been able to keep her balance.

The four men kept tumbling and falling in the ground until they were the same color as the soil.

He barely managed to crawl out of the ground when the police car arrived.

Jiang Yingzhu and the other three had already gone home and moved a stool over to watch.

Mei Mengqian followed Jiang Yingzhu's example and filmed several videos, feeling that they were enough to create a compilation of videos observing the life of a clumsy thief.

Jiang Yingzhu didn't take any pictures; instead, she kept laughing. Every time someone fell down, she would laugh.

"Hahaha, Li Yan, tell me honestly, did you set a trap in the ground? Hahaha!" "No." Li Yan remained expressionless. It was just a simple formation; why would he need a trap?

However, always being on the defensive can be quite troublesome.

You still need a dog to guard your house.

Thinking of this, Li Yan sent a message to Hua Ningxia.

[Buy me a dog, a Groenha, black]
Ordinary mongrel dogs have limited deterrent effect on the average adult male, but Li Yan remembered that this Groenendael was very intimidating.

Especially black.

Standing there, at first glance you might mistake it for a bear.

If it were nighttime, the scarlet eyes would be even more eerie.

They have a very high IQ and are exceptionally loyal.

It's perfect for scaring away those with ill intentions.

Hua Ningxia quickly responded, and Li Yan gave some instructions to the police officer who came forward.

"Gentlemen, please come with us." Two police officers approached the woman in the wine-red dress and her companions.

The woman in red wine didn't respond, but pointed at Li Yan and the others, saying:
“These people knocked us down in the field, causing us huge losses. I demand that they compensate us.”

Upon hearing this, one of the young police officers smiled.

"Gentlemen, we have seen the video. Both trees in this field are protected plants. You are suspected of illegally harvesting them."

The four women in red wine widened their eyes in surprise.

Without any commotion, they were taken away.

Hua Junshu watched the police car leave and then looked at Li Yan.

"How long will they be detained?"

With her intelligence, she could naturally deduce that the police officers handling the case were so cooperative because of the connections within 77 Company.

Otherwise, these kinds of things are usually resolved through mediation.

"I don't know," Li Yan shook his head.

An unexpected incident occurred at noon, and Jiang Yingzhu didn't have time to play the game.

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu went back to their room for a short nap.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Li Yan thought it was because there were no main subjects.

During the last biology class, Li Yan skipped class and was designing concept art for his magical artifact on a draft paper.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian initially took a look, but later found that they couldn't understand it at all, so they gave up.

As get out of class was about to end, Jiang Yingzhu and Mengmeng were discussing where to eat.

"How about we have jianbing guozi? It's been so long since I've had it."

“Okay, Li Yan, do you want some?” Mei Mengqian asked.

"I want the supreme deluxe pancake with double bacon, double tenderloin, double eggs, crispy biscuits, and chicken strips," Li Yan said.

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at him, then looked at his draft paper.

"If you don't go down there, what are you drawing all day?"

"I'm too lazy to go downstairs. I have to come with you to eat pancakes. Baby, you're so clingy."

Li Yan casually remarked, and immediately received a punch from his childhood sweetheart.
"Baby my foot."

Jiang Yingzhu decided to add more chili sauce for him later.

In the front row, Chen Chenchen overheard their conversation and quietly joined in.

"Zhuzhu, do you want to eat pancakes? Actually, you can ask someone to bring them for free."

"Hmm?" Jiang Yingzhu asked, puzzled.

“Wu Wu has a group chat, and it’s full of guys who are pursuing her,” Chen Chenchen said.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian nodded, indicating they vaguely remembered it.

Then Chen Chenchen continued, "At first, Wuwu was too lazy to pay attention, but she found that if she ignored it, there would be breakfast on her table every morning, which affected her studies, so she created a group."

“We sometimes use this group to draw a free meal, and sometimes we ask them to bring their own food. Zhuzhu, since you guys need it, I can draw one. We don’t want to go downstairs to eat today.”

Jiang Yingzhu suddenly realized, touched her chin, and wondered if she could do it.
Forget it, it sounds too troublesome.

"No, I haven't decided what kind of pancake I want yet."

Jiang Yingzhu planned to go down to see what extra ingredients the pancake shop offered.

She wants a version that surpasses the ultimate version.

Just as she was thinking this, Yu Bing poked her in the back.

"Zhuzhu, please get me a pancake too. I want the same one as Li Yan, but with an extra egg."

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at the practice papers the elementary school students were working on, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Damn it, it's rolling again!
In her heart, she regarded the elementary school student's "Super Supreme Pancake" as a beggar's version.

When the bell rang, Jiang Xinting didn't extend the class by even a minute and ended the get out of class immediately.

Jiang Yingzhu immediately grabbed Mengmeng and rushed out of the school.

However, when they arrived at the pancake shop, they found that there was already a queue.

The pancake shop is located on the left side of the school gate, in a great location, and it's always packed with people every night.

While waiting in line, Jiang Yingzhu sighed.

"If only I knew the legendary space magic, I could teleport here and bring people dinner without having to carry it by hand."

Mei Mengqian nodded, "I can still sleep until the last minute in the morning and then teleport to the classroom."

"Yeah, that's awesome."

"It's pretty tough." Suddenly, a voice came from behind. The two turned around and found that it was Ling Ningshan.

"If you can do spatial magic, why do you still need to think about trivial things like going to school and eating?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't go. I'd just take the money from the bank and travel the world."

Jiang Yingzhu felt that it made a lot of sense, but what puzzled her even more was...

"Ling Ningshan, aren't you going to help out at the store today?"

Ling Ningshan nodded, "The barbecue restaurant is closed today."
