I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 444 Taking care of your children
Jiang Xinting was ten years older than her younger sister and didn't care about her little temper at all. She casually pushed the freshly served cold tomato salad aside.

"Come and try some of your favorite food."

"Oh." Jiang Xinyue nodded, no longer arguing about it; what's done is done.

She took a bite of the tomato, paused for a moment, and then took another bite.

He then narrowed his eyes, a contented expression on his face.

"It's not like there aren't good things in this rural area."

This reaction surprised Jiang Xinting a little.

"These tomatoes are delicious?"

"Okay."

As Jiang Xinyue spoke, she ate a few more slices.

The plate was already half empty.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinting, unaware of her sister's temperament, ate a piece out of curiosity as well.

Then came surprise.

Surprisingly, they taste even better than the tomatoes they had people grow naturally in the countryside in Beijing.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xinting felt that the taste was strangely familiar.

What was the last ordinary food I ate that tasted so delicious?
Jiang Xinting subconsciously took another bite, then suddenly remembered.

The dates were given to me by Li Yan.

Although the research institute has not yet determined the relationship between the jujube, the Qingling incense, and the special effects of the beauty serum.

However, it can be confirmed that it is a mutated plant.

It is not a common jujube tree.

The research institute is now trying to cultivate them and wants her to obtain more similar varieties.

They had previously discovered that it was no coincidence that the plants Li Yanzhong cultivated were unusual.

Jiang Xinting has been promoted because of her merits, and she also knows the true purpose of this matter.

It's not about cracking any business secrets.

Instead, the research institute, through a large-scale survey, found that people who use beauty serum and refreshing fragrance for a long time have better physical fitness and higher overall cellular activity.

In short, they appear younger and, based on scientific research, are likely to live longer.

Although the impact is small.

If a person exercises regularly, eats healthily, maintains a regular sleep schedule, and takes care of themselves frequently, they can achieve this.

But nothing compares to applying something every day and lighting some incense.

They believe that finding this cause could be a major scientific discovery.

However, Jiang Xinting didn't have any hope.

Because when she told Li Yan about this, Li Yan was unusually calm and didn't care at all.

Put yourself in her shoes. If she knew how to easily extend her lifespan, would she have been able to say it so casually?

Therefore, Jiang Xinting felt that instead of spending a lot of effort studying this, it would be better to study how to achieve landing on the far side of the moon more quickly.

Let's see what's there.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Jiang Xinting took out a transparent sealed bag, about to put a slice of tomato in it to claim credit.

I watched helplessly as my younger sister took the lead and stuffed the last slice of tomato into her mouth.

"Sis, what are you doing?"

Jiang Xinyue chewed while looking at her older sister with a puzzled expression.

"Why do you eat so fast?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue thought her sister was disappointed that she hadn't gotten any, and immediately smiled.

"It's delicious! Sister, if you want, you can just ask the owner to bring another plate."

Jiang Xinting sighed, thinking to herself that this kind of thing could not be supplied in unlimited quantities.

However, I still ordered another dish, just to give it a try.

As soon as the fresh tomato salad was served, she watched her sister stuff a big mouthful into her mouth, and then her pretty face scrunched up.

It was like the first time she had ever drunk soy milk.

"It seems not." A hint of regret appeared on Jiang Xinting's face.

"Sister, you tricked me."

Over here, Old Qin looked at the young couple in the private room and immediately chuckled.

Looking at the plate of braised beef brisket in front of him, its aroma filling the air, he smiled with satisfaction.

He couldn't wait and took two bites.

The tomatoes practically melted into the beef brisket.

Old Qin took two bites and then suddenly froze.

"Oh dear, I can't eat anymore! I'm getting old, sigh~"

"Sister-in-law, please pack this for me."

“You’ve licked the plate clean.” Li Yan glanced at Jiang Yingzhu, who was sitting motionless in the chair.

"Tsk tsk, Jiang Yingzhu, are you a pig? You can eat so much."

Jiang Yingzhu looked up at the clouds in the sky and imagined them as a monster that would swallow Li Yan whole.

Only if he calls himself "Mom" can he be let go.

Just as Jiang Yingzhu was imagining Li Yan about to speak, she suddenly felt a chill in her stomach.

He looked down and grabbed Li Yan's hand.

"What are you doing?"

"It's so big, wow."

"Get out of here! It's all your fault."

Li Yan was speechless. How could he possibly respond to this topic? It seemed like he was in the wrong.

Just then, his other hand was grabbed and landed on Hua Junshu's stomach.

"Is mine big?"

Li Yan glanced at his senior's stomach.

Strange, the food isn't even there, so why does it seem more noticeable?

"Ahem, almost, almost."

Mei Mengqian glanced at Li Yan but didn't make a move; she felt a little embarrassed.

Besides, what Zhuzhu said just now was really strange.

The thought of Li Yan touching her stomach reminded her of what he had just said.

She felt shy just thinking about those words.

She needs to rest for a while.

However, Li Yan seemed to know what she was thinking, and reached out his hand, saying:
"Come on, Mengmeng, let me check your stomach so you don't overeat."

"No!" Mei Mengqian quickly grabbed Li Yan's hand to stop him from doing anything bad. "I wouldn't dare."

"Really?"

Mei Mengqian glanced at him. "You jerk, all you do is bully me."

"Yes."

"Okay, we can't move, so you can wash the dishes."

"."

Mei Mengqian didn't want to move, and glanced at Teacher Zhou, who had come to freeload a meal with several boxes of Zhou Hei Ya (a type of braised duck) on the way.

"Qinbao is washing up; she doesn't eat much."

Zhou Qinqin, who had been quietly keeping a low profile and observing from the beginning, was taken aback.

How come even the most well-behaved and adorable Mengmeng has started to betray her master and ancestors?

"Alright, alright, teacher will wash you, but let me rest for a bit first."

Li Yan glanced at Zhou Qinqin, then, remembering his plan to get a dog, reminded her:
"Teacher, I'm planning to get a dog. Do you have experience with that?"

"?" Zhou Qinqin looked at him. "What dog?"

"Sheepdog, Groandaren."

"Don't insult the sheepdog, that thief who stole from his post." Zhou Qinqin's lips twitched, then she glanced at him and sighed.

"I'll take care of your cat, fine, but I'll take care of your dog too. If you have kids in the future, will you expect me to help breastfeed them?!"

As she spoke, her gaze swept meaningfully over Jiang Yingzhu and the other two women, paying particular attention to their protruding bellies.

In an instant, blushes of varying degrees appeared on the faces of the three people.

As expected, a young girl's jokes can never compete with those of an older woman.

Li Yan remained silent, unsure how to respond.

Jiang Yingzhu retorted, "Qinbao, what are you saying?"

"Besides, if you're not married, you won't even have enough milk to breastfeed a child."

Zhou Qinqin's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, fine, I'm going to breastfeed your child."

Jiang Yingzhu hadn't expected Qin Bao to have even stronger firepower, and was immediately overwhelmed, falling silent.

Upon seeing the four quails, Zhou Qinqin gave a smug hum, stood up, cleared away the dishes, and went to wash them.

Only four people remained, lost in thought.

Mei Mengqian was simply shy; for her, having a child seemed like a distant dream.

Hua Junshu was also shy, but he was mostly thinking, glancing at Li Yan every now and then.

It's like they're judging whether he likes children or not.

Jiang Yingzhu didn't consider any of that; she was only thinking about how to win if Zhou Qinqin tried to tease her with something like that again.

Li Yan then considered the possibility of Zhou Qinqin taking care of the child, and who he might end up taking care of the child for.

Finally, he glanced at Jiang Yingzhu.

The little green plum is fiery and exciting, but I guess it will become troublesome after a while.

Zhou Qinqin is quite suitable for this role.

They have money and free time, and know how to take care of a small life.

Having been a teacher, I know how to teach.

The most important thing is to stay at home and avoid going to unsafe places.

Goodness gracious, the most suitable profession for Qin Bao might actually be a nanny.

Li Yan shook his head, dismissing these pointless thoughts, and went upstairs.

He prepared to refine the artifact spirit he had designed this week.

Based on the systematic knowledge he learned at the beginning, in addition to being nourished by spiritual energy, artifact spirits can also be refined by sacrificing living souls.

The required soul also has quality requirements.

The souls of plants and trees, being low-level intelligent beings, are not suitable.

Li Yan originally thought it would be like in the novel, where the soul of some kind of creature would be extracted, processed, and stuffed into a device.

Through recent and long-term observations, he gained an understanding of the so-called reincarnation process of the soul on Earth.

After a person dies, their soul dissipates into a special energy factor that wanders between heaven and earth.

It is a process of continuous transformation.

Like water, which changes from solid to liquid to gas, it may be part of life, but more broadly speaking, it is just part of the larger environmental cycle.

The formation of a spirit requires an environment rich in soul energy factors.

Li Yan first created a soul energy containment artifact, then opened the map and searched for the addresses of several factories.

Then it flew over.

In a certain place in Jiaozhou, Li Yan's divine sense swept over the factory below that was producing Kangfuxin Liquid.

Buckets of cockroaches are transformed into industrial raw materials in the machines.

He resisted the urge to slap the cockroaches to death.

The soul-containment artifact was placed in the factory workshop, and a hidden magic circle was set up.

Seeing large amounts of qualified soul energy flowing into the magic weapon, Li Yan nodded in satisfaction.

It's still this fast.

How much energy does one have to kill someone?
He's not trying to forge the Emperor's Banner.

Cockroaches are truly beneficial insects.

As long as it doesn't appear under my nose.

Then they returned to the foot of Feiyun Mountain in Huangcheng.

Li Yan estimated that they could start harvesting next week. He scanned the area downstairs with his divine sense and saw Jiang Yingzhu and the other two changing clothes, looking like they were about to go out.

He went downstairs and asked Mengmeng, who was changing her socks:
"Going out shopping?"

"No, we're going to school. You locked the door, so we didn't call you."

Li Yan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you going to school for?"

"Of course it's fun! Hehe!" Jiang Yingzhu came out of the room and patted Li Yan on the shoulder.

"You'll know if you just look at the club's group chat."

Li Yan then took out his phone and opened the QQ group.

He glanced at the message history and roughly knew what was going on.

Most of the new club members are boarding students who can't stay idle and want to start rehearsing the drum and bugle corps in advance.

Then tomorrow, Monday, is the perfect time to perform on stage.

Each generation is more impressive than the last.

"Anyway, I have nothing else to do, so I might as well go."
