Chapter 109 Lin Yi: Gambling on books to make the tea smell disappear (extra)
"Cough cough cough."
Amidst a cloud of smoke, Lin Yi came out, pinching his nose.
Ni Fang stood in the corner with her arms folded across her chest and threw a white handkerchief at him accurately, "Failed again this time?"
"Well," Lin Yi wiped the black dust off his face, his tone a little aggrieved, "Who knew cooking was so troublesome, even more difficult than refining pills."
Ever since Ni Fang brought Lin Yi back from the Demon Realm, the two of them found a quiet place in the human world and retired to the mountains. Except for a few close friends who knew their whereabouts, everyone else thought that Lin Yi had died.
Lin Yi's dantian was pierced by Ding Zhenghua's sword. Master Yunlian used up almost all his life's knowledge to save his life, but it was difficult to maintain his cultivation level. His level kept falling until he fell to the first level of Qi training, and his spiritual energy and demonic energy were all leaked out. He no longer had to worry about sealing the demonic energy in himself, and the risk of blindness and the dark spots on his face would no longer appear.
Apart from the external wounds on his body, only the demon seed remained in his body.
The most direct consequence of a decline in cultivation is a greatly shortened lifespan. In addition, Lin Yi's health had been in great trouble in the past few years. Master Yunlian expressed regretfully that if he could have continued to nourish his body with precious spiritual plants, he might have been able to live to the age of thirty.
Seven years is an extremely short period of time for ordinary people, let alone for immortal cultivators.
When Lin Yi first heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's already very good. Seven years is enough for me to do a lot of things."
Since the final survival mission was completed, Mingming has not appeared very often, unless it is necessary for Ni Fang to use system points to exchange for precious medicinal materials, it will only come online briefly.
Ni Fang simply put everything aside for the time being and accompanied Lin Yi to travel around the world, satisfying all his wishes with great indulgence.
For example, now, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea and planned to cook a delicious dish by himself, but he failed repeatedly.
Ni Fang would not persuade him to give up, but would just stay by his side and ask, "Still trying?"
"Of course!" Lin Yi took a deep breath of fresh air, rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the kitchen again, "I don't believe that I won't have dinner tonight!"
Ni Fang waited for a while, and seeing that the kitchen had no intention of blowing up, she walked to the backyard at ease and watered the spiritual plants. Thanks to her experience working in a greenhouse, she knew better than anyone how to take care of these spiritual plants to achieve the best medicinal effects.
Half an hour later, the moon was hanging high in the sky, and the meal that Lin Yi had been busy preparing all afternoon was finally ready.
The rice was a little raw, the green vegetable leaves floated lonely in the soup, the vegetables and meat were so black that they were difficult to distinguish from each other, and the plum pastry collapsed into a small pink round cake.
“It doesn’t look good.” Lin Yi took a bite and shook his head. “You’re already fasting anyway, so don’t eat it if it doesn’t taste good.”
Ni Fang took a bite of the black dish and said, "I think it tastes okay."
Lin Yi held the bowl in his hands and stared at Ni Fang as she ate up the half-cooked rice, watery soup, black vegetables, and sticky pancakes bit by bit.
He suddenly felt very happy. This happiness seemed to be growing from within his body. He could neither control nor ignore it.
He tried his best to control his thoughts and stop himself from dwelling on the overly cruel and straightforward fact behind the demon species.
At least he is happy now.
Ni Fang had sorted out two rooms in this thatched house where they were staying for a short time. Just like what they had done in Xiaoyao Peak that year, the rooms where they slept were separated by only a short corridor.
Every day before going to bed, the two would stand outside their respective rooms and say to each other, "See you tomorrow."
This habit was started by Ni Fang. She originally wanted to say good night, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that these two words were not good enough. She still preferred to see you tomorrow.
The Qixi Festival is approaching, and Nifang suggested that we go down the mountain together to take a look.
Although she has been in this world for seventeen years, she has been busy with cultivation and has never taken the time to experience the ancient Qiqiao Festival.
Lin Yi wished he could split one day into two, so he was naturally willing to do so.
Ni Fang was worried that Lin Yi's body couldn't take it, so instead of riding a sword, the two of them rode down the mountain together.
While riding through the fields and mountains, Lin Yi felt a long-lost sense of relief, which was different from the relief brought by flying on a sword. His fingertips gently stroked the beautiful mountains, and the footprints left by the horse's hooves stepping on the flowers were clearly visible.
When he told Ni Fang about his feelings, Ni Fang only said seven words, "Enjoy life to the fullest when it is good."
When they arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain, it was still dark. According to local custom, they changed into clothes embroidered with five-colored threads.
When the two changed their clothes and walked out of the clothing store, they were both stunned. They had not discussed it beforehand, but both chose clothes with a blue base color, one dark blue and the other light blue, as if they had agreed beforehand.
"Good vision." Ni Fangxian praised.
Lin Yi was a little conflicted at first, wondering whether he should go back and change his clothes. But after Ni Fang said this, Lin Yi decided not to change. Otherwise, it would only seem that he was hiding something and was not as open as her.
He has always hoped that he could be open and honest.
The two of them had dinner at the best restaurant in the city. Because it was the hottest time of the year, Nifang ordered two more bowls of plum ice. The bottom of the bowl was covered with white crushed ice, sprinkled with slightly sour plum sauce, and on top was a green plum soaked in sugar.
Lin Yi likes to eat from the middle, the first few bites are the best. By the end, there is not enough plum sauce to cover the crushed ice, so the crushed ice can only flow into white water.
Ni Fang, on the other hand, had a plan to mix the plum jam with crushed ice so that the taste would remain the same even until the last bite.
Ni Fang put down the bowl and looked out of the window. At this moment, the lanterns were just being lit up, lighting up one after another like a sea of lights, and her eyes also lit up with the lights.
"Let's go." Ni Fang grabbed Lin Yi's hand and led him away from his seat.
Lin Yi let her hold his hand, feeling the warmth of her palm slowly transfer to his body.
The streets were crowded with people, young men and women, acquaintances and strangers, all went out of their homes on the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Because Lin Yi is so handsome, young men and women passing by can't help but stare at them.
The mask vendor mustered up the courage to stop Ni Fang and said, "Young lady, please buy a mask for your husband quickly, or your husband will be seen away by others."
Ni Fang smiled and shook her head, "He's not..." When the words came to her lips, she felt that it would be very troublesome to explain in front of outsiders, so she simply stopped and looked back at Lin Yi, "Young Master, which mask do you like? I'll buy one for you to wear."
Lin Yi casually pointed to a Kunlun slave, and Ni Fang also bought the same one.
The two of them were now completely regarded as a young couple, and everyone who passed by praised them for their enviable beauty.
Ni Fang pulled Lin Yi and they quickly moved through the crowd. The light blue and dark blue skirts of the two of them bloomed like flowers, and when they overlapped, they seemed to have blended into the same blue.
When competing with the girls in the needle threading competition, Ni Fang accidentally won the first prize. The stall owner handed the most beautiful lantern to Lin Yi and said with a smile, "My young husband is so lucky."
When leaving the stall, the lantern naturally returned to Ni Fang's hands. Ni Fang played with the lantern in his hand and complained quietly, "Why did the stall owner praise you for being so lucky when I clearly won the lantern?"
Lin Yi tried to guess Ni Fang's expression through the mask. He couldn't help but hook his fingers into her hair, and his heart softened. "I have always been so lucky."
Before releasing the lanterns, Lin Yi and Ni Fang each wrote their wishes on red silk, tied them to the outside of the lanterns and sent them into the water. As long as the lanterns did not fall into the water and moved steadily out of sight, their wishes would come true.
When writing the wish, Ni Fang deliberately kept some distance from Lin Yi, "Wishes won't work if they are spoken out loud."
"Okay." Lin Yi had never intended to tell Ni Fang about his wish.
He hopes that this wish can come true, and he also hopes that this wish can come true as late as possible.
"I have finished writing it."
"Then let's put them into the water together."
The two of them put their lanterns into the water together. Many men and women on the other side of the river were doing the same thing. However, only their lanterns were swaying and drifting away, which attracted the envy of the people around them.
There is a wish written on each of the two lanterns.
——I hope Lin Yi can always be happy, be in better health, and live a long life.
——If you fall in love with someone else in the future, I hope that person loves you more than I do.
