The fairy always tries to corrupt my Dao heart.

Chapter 32 He likes me?

The night ends and the day dawns.

Li Qing'an leaped from the bottom of the Chuanjiang River and landed on the cliff edge. His body was surrounded by shimmering, fiery spiritual energy, which dried his clothes.

As the morning sun shines, birds occasionally fly across the shimmering river, their clear calls echoing across the water.

Li Qingan clenched his fist. With the end of last night's body tempering, the first Nirvana Seed in his dantian spiritual aperture had been completely condensed.

He successfully reached the late stage of the Qi Sensing Realm through body refinement.

Li Qingan stretched his arms, and Huang Yunzhao's voice echoed in his mind: "Isn't it better to kill everyone in the world? Otherwise, even if we killed tens of millions of people last night, who would dare to say anything?"

Not to mention dealing with the aftermath!

Li Qingan drew his Qingwu sword and began practicing in the damp breeze.

His master had been repeating these words all night, and he was too lazy to respond.

After all, the cautionary tale of Huang Yunzhao is now residing within his sword heart.

Secondly, one cannot become invincible overnight.

"Even major powers need time to handle these kinds of matters. What are you planning to do? Rely on Su Lingyin?"

"You said it yourself that it takes time, there's no rush."

While circulating the Nine Tribulations Nirvana Sword Scripture, Li Qing'an replied, "Relying on Su Lingyin... I'd better not, after all, I don't know her background."

He didn't say anything more, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Qingyu running over.

"When did you start practicing swordsmanship here? I've been looking for you for quite a while..."

Li Qingan smoothly sheathed his sword: "You've been here the whole time, all done with your work?"

“Mm!” Shen Qingyu nodded: “The cultivators in the inner city don’t believe in catfish demons. After you killed so many last night, they’ve been dividing up the catfish demon meat and sending it to each household.”

"Not enough to go around, is it?"

“Hey, let’s just use regular catfish meat packaging then.” Shen Qingyu chuckled. “Anyway, they can’t taste the difference, and they wouldn’t dare not try it.”

She paused, then said proudly, "This is the idea I came up with!"

"Amazing!" Li Qingan clapped his hands.

"Thank you."

Shen Qingyu clapped along, and after exchanging a smile, Shen Qingyu quickly looked away.

Now I'm inexplicably afraid of Li Qingan's warm gaze...

Then, she took out two grilled fish from her storage ring: "Want some?"

"You eat," Li Qingan said, taking a step forward. "Want to go for a walk?"

"Where are you going?"

"We'll see where we end up."

"Okay."

Shen Qingyu followed with light steps.

Two lines of footprints were left along the bank of the Sichuan River. The rushing river and the vegetation on the bank intertwined in the light and shadow. Occasionally, a large fish would dart out of the river. Shen Qingyu suddenly felt that this aimless stroll...

Quite interesting.

She took a bite of fish and secretly glanced at Li Qing'an beside her, her fair face slightly flushed.

The Li Qingan of today is completely different from the decisive and ruthless man he was last night.

"Oh right, I contacted Yinyin to handle the follow-up, but she hasn't replied yet..."

"It's okay if you don't look for her."

"Hmm?" Shen Qingyu tilted her head to look at him: "Although the people of Chuankou County dare not believe anything in the short term, they may still be like this in a few years. Are you not going to let Luoxia Sect deal with it?"

You don't want to stay here forever, do you?

“No.” Li Qingan shook his head: “I just think there’s still a force in the Chang Geng Realm that can handle this matter.”

"Daoist Sect?"

"Correct."

Li Qing'an knew that he would go to Daozong to find out the truth sooner or later, so he had a plan in mind before he even arrived in Chuankou County.

Shen Qingyu blinked: "You want to be the sect leader of the Dao Sect?"

"Haha, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Li Qingan smiled. "You always need a goal, right?" "Is this your goal?"

"That's how it is at this stage."

“That’s great…” Shen Qingyu turned her head to the side: “Unlike me, I just want to eat all the delicious food in the world, I’m not as good as you.”

“There’s no such thing as something great or not in this kind of thing,” Li Qingan said, looking into the distance. “If I could, I think my carefree life before was pretty good.”

Looking into his eyes, Shen Qingyu inexplicably felt that he was gazing into a very, very far place...

They walked and stopped frequently, then climbed the steps up a mountainside and slowly ascended along the railing.

"So, I'm working hard now for a carefree life."

A gentle breeze blew across the river. Li Qing'an, who had stopped walking, opened his arms and smiled at Shen Qingyu: "Although it's a bit slow, it's still acceptable."

Shen Qingyu stared at him blankly, feeling that he was different now than when he looked into the distance earlier.

I was feeling a bit melancholy just now, but now I'm bursting with a vibrant life force that's incredibly captivating.

She didn't know what kind of carefree life Li Qingan longed for, but she could sense that he was tirelessly striving towards that goal.

I even came here to cultivate last night, I never thought of relying on Yinyin in the first place...

I remember my mother saying that such a person will never break down because of some kind of predicament.

Shen Qingyu pursed her cherry lips, the river breeze ruffling her hair. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "I'll help you."

"Ok?"

Shen Qingyu placed her hands on the railing and raised her voice: "I said, I'll help you, I'll help you become the sect leader of the Dao Sect!"

Li Qing'an was slightly surprised, but then smiled and said, "What, aren't you going to eat all the delicacies in the world anymore?"

Shen Qingyu said seriously, "It won't affect anything."

Li Qingan looked away: "Never mind, your dream..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qingyu suddenly jumped over the railing and shouted at the Chuanjiang River, "I said, I'm going to help you!"

Li Qingan's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously reached out to put his arm around Shen Qingyu's waist: "Just say it, why did you have to climb over the fence?"

"Who told you to try to refuse?" Shen Qingyu snorted, tilting her head slightly to meet his eyes: "Let me tell you, don't be ungrateful!"

A smile flashed in Li Qing'an's eyes: "If I still don't know what's good for me, are you planning to jump?"

Shen Qingyu glanced down and said, "It's not like I'm afraid! I won't die from the fall anyway!"

"Don't actually fall."

Li Qingan took a small step forward, and his hands moved subtly from her waist to her lower abdomen.

"Then let's see your answer. Are you still going to refuse?"

"let me see……"

"What are you thinking? Aren't we friends?"

"Calculate."

"Shouldn't friends help each other out? Besides, we're from the same hometown... Don't you agree?"

After waiting for a while without receiving a response, Shen Qingyu couldn't help but turn around to look.

That's when they met Li Qing'an's gentle gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat; his gaze was even more 'excessive' than before...

No, no, how could he look at me like that?
I only said I would help him.

What's that look in his eyes?
Is it the way you look at your friend?

Does he... like me?
Really? Really? Really?

Oh dear, why isn't he saying anything?

Shen Qingyu slowly lowered her head, hesitated for a long time, and then said softly with a blush on her face.

"Can you take your hand away now?"

Li Qingan released her as instructed, but still did not say anything.

Although he hadn't spent much time with Shen Qingyu back in Luoxia City, he knew in his heart that Shen Qingyu's affection for him was growing.

So the first time you put your arm around my waist was subconscious, but the second time... it was 'scheming'.

No need for further explanation; she will be lost in thought on her own.
