Chapter 372 Fishing
Chapter 372 Fishing
"Xu Nian, how did you come up with the idea of fishing together? Who goes on a date like this with their Daoist partner?"
"Isn't this fun?"
"Fun my foot! It's so boring!"
A lakeside outside Yangcheng.
Two figures under the scorching sun.
A person is fishing.
Another person was also fishing.
They have a leisurely and refined taste.
Xu Nian found a small stool from somewhere and sat on it.
Wu Qinghuan, on the other hand, doesn't care much about her image.
He plopped right down on the grass.
He was sitting cross-legged, chin in hand, yawning listlessly.
"It's pointless, you can't catch any fish at all."
"That's not necessarily true. I'll count to three, and a fish will come up right away, believe it or not."
"boast."
"Just tell me whether you believe it or not."
The Holy Son glanced at his senior brother beside him, then at the calm lake surface.
Shake his head.
"Do not believe."
"Let's make a bet. If I count to three and a fish comes up, you'll kiss me, okay?"
"What if they don't come up?"
"Then I'll kiss you."
Wu Qinghuan: "?"
So, no matter what, there's always a kiss, right?
Anyway, no matter what, no matter who wins or loses between the two of them.
Everyone has to kiss, right?
"This is not fair!"
"If you're scared, just say you're scared. Why are you being so stubborn?"
"Are you kidding me? You think I'm scared? You go ahead and count them, I'm not going to believe you today."
The Holy Son has already devised a method to cheat.
If a fish does come up in a while, then...
They could simply use the Devouring Dao Essence to dispose of it themselves and deny everything.
Anyway, I won't lose.
"Come on, let's begin, let me see."
She sat there and began to wait earnestly.
Xu Nian had a smile on her face, with little change in expression.
Start counting.
"one…"
Wu Qinghuan watched with increasing focus.
"two…"
Wu Qinghuan became even more serious and held her breath.
Waiting to make a move.
only…
As Xu Nian finished speaking, one breath, two breaths, three breaths…
Ten breaths passed quickly.
There is still no third number.
He seemed to have completely shut down.
He sat there motionless.
I'm still fishing, but there's no reaction.
At first, Wu Qinghuan didn't realize that anything was wrong.
Still waiting.
But after a while, they finally realized the problem.
She slowly turned her head to look at her senior brother.
"No, what about the third number?"
"I'm tired of counting just now, I'll count again later."
"You can do that???"
The Holy Son slowly typed out a question mark.
Is this person speaking human language?
I can understand each word on my own, but I can't understand them when they're put together.
What does it mean to be tired of checking numbers?
Wait a moment, then we'll continue.
You're just waiting for the fish to come up, aren't you?
When the fish come up, that's when you check the third number.
"Isn't this just being a scoundrel, Xu Nian!"
"What did I do? Don't make baseless accusations. I didn't say it would take a long time to find out. Three numbers are fine."
"you…"
Wu Qinghuan was impressed by her senior brother's shameless spirit.
no way.
Shamelessness knows no bounds.
"I can't be bothered with you."
Wu Qinghuan ignored him.
He simply lay down on the grass.
Looking up at the sky.
The weather is fantastic today, with not a cloud in the sky.
A gentle breeze caressed my face.
The leaves in the woods rustled.
The Holy Son stared blankly at his senior brother beside him.
It's so fascinating.
After a long while, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Three!"
"nerve…"
"The fish are up, three counts, look."
"Children."
"A bet's a bet! Get up and kiss me now!"
"Go, go, go."
The Holy Son felt that his senior brother was more immature than himself.
Moreover, in many ways, they are more immature than me.
At the very beginning, the ideas were quite naive.
A kiss is supposed to mean disgusting yourself?
What kind of person would think that way?
What kind of brain circuit is this?
"What are you laughing at? You're so silly."
"You're the silly one."
Wu Qinghuan smiled and shook her head, then gave him a perfunctory kiss on the cheek.
Then he turned his head to look to one side.
He seemed to be pondering something.
Xu Nian felt something was off and put down her fishing rod.
He walked around to her and squatted down.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think anything of it."
"Then why do you have that expression?"
What expression did I make?
Xu Nian scratched her head. "It's that kind of expression where you want to laugh but are a little embarrassed to laugh, it looks pretty strange."
Xu Nian frowned slightly.
Resting her chin on her hand, she said, "Whenever you make that face, you're never thinking anything good. What are you thinking? Tell me the truth!"
"It's nothing."
Wu Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh.
She shook her head, and seeing that he was still looking at her, she finally spoke, "It was just that I was thinking about your strange thought process."
"What do you mean? What happened to me?"
"Didn't you want to disgust me before, so you kissed me on purpose? Now, when I kissed you just now, wasn't that...?"
Before Wu Qinghuan could finish speaking...
Xu Nian already understood what she meant.
His expression also became a little strange. "It's okay, it's okay. Then disgust me a few more times. I like it when you disgust me."
"Xu Nian, do you even have a bottom line?"
"What is a bottom line? I've never even heard of it."
Xu Nian puffed out her chest with a hint of pride.
He didn't seem embarrassed at all.
That expression seemed to convey immense pride and arrogance.
This looks really strange.
In such a situation, most people would feel somewhat embarrassed.
But Xu Nian was completely trained by Wu Qinghuan.
She is now a woman.
"Haha, Qinghuan, why are you suddenly blushing? You weren't like this before. Why are you reacting so strongly now?"
"You weren't like this before..."
Wu Qinghuan said weakly.
She really didn't know how to deal with her senior's reaction.
I have to say, my senior brother has really changed a lot.
It wasn't like this at the beginning.
I don't know when it started, but I suddenly became so 'shameless'.
I don't know if it was because of his bad influence.
Seriously, who turned my senior brother into this?
"Since we're on a bet, shouldn't you kiss me?"
"what?"
Wu Qinghuan slowly typed out a question mark.
He actually kissed himself!
And it was right after Xu Nian finished counting to the third number and started acting spoiled that he kissed her.
When did you start saying you have no relatives again?
……
……
……
"What's going on? Did he have a fight with Liu Meng? He actually came to see me."
Inside the Chamber of Commerce building.
Third Senior Sister Fu Qiuyu, who had just finished dealing with her affairs, looked at Xiao Xiao in front of her.
Somewhat surprised.
The arguments between the two of them were always caused by Liu Meng.
Xiaoxiao is unlikely to have any emotional reaction.
She has always had a very good personality.
It is very stable.
This time, the fact that she took the initiative to come to him clearly shows that she was angered by Liu Meng.
"What happened, Xiaoxiao?"
"nothing."
Xiao Xiao answered calmly, her face expressionless.
There seemed to be no emotional fluctuation.
It would have been better if she hadn't acted this way; instead, it made Fu Qiuyu feel even stranger.
Goodness, even Xiaoxiao, who is usually easy to talk to, has been turned into this.
At this moment, Fu Qiuyu couldn't help but feel a little curious.
What exactly did that little thing Liu Meng do?
Oh no, Liu Meng shouldn't be considered a little thing anymore.
That thing is already very big.
He was much taller than both himself and Xiaoxiao.
Standing next to each other, she looks more like a senior sister.
"Xiaoxiao, what did Liu Meng do? Why are you so angry?"
"I'm not angry, senior sister."
Xiao Xiao said expressionlessly.
Fu Qiuyu was speechless.
I thought to myself, you're practically wearing your anger on your sleeve.
That expression clearly means she's throwing a tantrum.
"Since you don't want to say, then I'll guess, hmm..."
Fu Qiuyu crossed his arms and began to think.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke, "Is that guy slacking off again and not wanting to cultivate?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao still didn't speak, but her lips twitched a few times.
Take a deep breath.
They seemed to be hesitating, but this situation did not last long.
He quickly spoke up, "That guy! That wretched fox! He actually said he'd never cultivate again, that cultivation was too hard, and that he'd just stay home and never go out! He said home was the safest place, and as long as he didn't go out, nothing would happen!"
"Uh...uh..."
Fu Qiuyu held her forehead.
Goodness, this speech is really very much in line with Liu Meng's style.
Only she could say something so unambitious.
But Fu Qiuyu also found it a bit strange.
Liu Meng was like this before.
I've said quite a lot this time.
But actually... she was like this before, wasn't she?
This isn't the first time I've said something like this.
It's just a matter of more or less.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Xiaoxiao already be very familiar with it?
Why such a strong reaction?
As if she could see what her senior sister was thinking, Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "She's about to break through, and she's been about to break through for a long time. She's been suppressing her cultivation."
"what?"
Fu Qiuyu didn't quite understand.
Breaking through a realm, isn't that a good thing?
But what's going on with this guy? If I remember correctly, he just had a major breakthrough not long ago.
It is said that it refined the essence and blood of the fox clan's ancestor.
So what does this latest breakthrough mean?
Is it possible for the fox clan to break through to a higher level so quickly?
Is this right? This... this doesn't seem right.
"This breakthrough seems to involve reshaping the meridians, so it might hurt a bit, but isn't this kind of pain normal? All cultivators experience this when they break through, right? She actually stopped breaking through because she was afraid of the pain and suppressed her cultivation level. I'm so angry at that girl!"
Xiao Xiao got angrier and angrier as she talked.
Fu Qiuyu stared in disbelief.
Goodness, it's obvious that Xiaoxiao is more like the senior sister between these two.
Cultivation is ultimately a personal matter.
Even though your senior brothers and sisters, masters and uncles should keep an eye on things.
But it's really my own business.
Liu Meng is indeed somewhat unambitious.
No wonder Xiaoxiao was so angry.
If it were me...
Fu Qiuyu began to ponder: if it were her, would she be just as angry?
It seems... um, it seems...
She doesn't know either.
In short, Xiaoxiao is now in charge of Liu Meng.
I won't need to say much then.
But right now, we need to deal with this matter properly.
"Actually, she's just too young. She'll be fine when she grows up."
"That guy is already very, very tall."
"Oh dear, I wasn't talking about temperament. If we're talking about age, Liu Meng is only..."
Fu Qiuyu counted on her fingers.
They began to carefully consider the matter.
"He's just a little kid."
"Ugh…"
Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly after hearing these words.
What kind of situation is this?
"Senior sister, shouldn't I be the junior sister?"
Xiao Xiao posed a soul-searching question.
Fu Qiuyu scratched his cheek again.
Yes, Xiaoxiao is the junior sister.
"I don't think we need to worry about her too much. Suppressing one's cultivation level can't be done forever. She'll break through naturally when the time is right."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, and suppressing one's cultivation level can actually help with proper marrow cleansing and bone scraping, meridian clearing, and physical nourishment."
"Senior sister, are you sure you're not joking? Is this for real or not?"
Fu Qiuyu scratched his head.
She wasn't lying.
However, this is only to a certain extent.
Suppressing one's cultivation level is not necessarily a good thing.
Normally speaking, a breakthrough should be made when it's due.
The situation with Liu Meng...
They're still just kids at heart.
So being a little lazy is actually normal.
Things will probably get better after this phase.
It will be fine when you grow a little older.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Xiaoxiao, how's your cultivation going lately? Your spiritual power seems to have increased again."
"Yes, I've broken through a few minor realms. I estimate that I'll break through a whole major realm in a few months. I'll prepare myself properly."
Fu Qiuyu nodded, "Yes, we should prepare properly. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you'll regress, so..."
As the third senior sister spoke, she realized that something was amiss.
Although these words were very appropriate for Xiaoxiao.
嗏
There's still a big lazybones in that yard.
He had just said that Liu Meng's situation was not a concern, and that suppressing his cultivation level could improve his physical strength.
Instead of internal conflict, isn't it?
After realizing this, Fu Qiuyu looked at Xiaoxiao again.
I noticed that she did indeed look rather unwell.
"Xiaoxiao, you..."
"It's okay, senior sister. I think I still need to have a good talk with her."
"Um... really... let's talk?"
"Yes, it's just a chat, a proper discussion about her future cultivation."
Xiao Xiao stood up expressionlessly.
Turn around and leave.
Fu Qiuyu raised his hand, but ultimately did not speak.
Reason told her that it wouldn't be a good idea to speak up now.
It's better to remain silent.
Xiao Xiao is a bit scary now.
I feel extremely angry.
Even though I'm the senior, it's best not to provoke her.
As for Liu Meng...
She has been suppressing her cultivation level for so long.
That's for sure...
Cough cough, my physical strength is already very high.
So you're definitely not afraid of something like that, right?
"May Master bless you, Liu Meng."
Fu Qiuyu clasped her hands together and prayed for poor Liu Meng.
But it's normal for that guy to get beaten up.
It's her fault for not cultivating properly.
Uh, no, I shouldn't focus on making a breakthrough.
She doesn't need to cultivate at all; she just doesn't want to break through.
