Chapter 180 Lively Qingyi

Chapter 180: Lively Qingyi

The North Sea, with its vast expanse of azure waves, stretched as far as the eye could see.

On the golden sand, a barefoot young girl walked along the tide line. Her pure white dress and dark, shimmering hair fluttered in the moonlight, making her appear incomparably beautiful.

Her steps, accompanied by the sound of crashing waves, were rhythmic, like a joyful melody. At the same time, a slight smile played on her lips, expressing an indescribable ease.

Not far away, there was also a young man, handsome and refined, also barefoot and lightly dressed, showing off his eight-pack abs.

However, what he was doing now seemed less aesthetic and out of place with the picturesque scenery. He was holding a knife, cleaning large lobsters, crabs, and other seafood by the sea.

There were even sea dragons, demon octopuses, and Silver Sharks beside him—all strange and rare marine creatures, piled up like a small mountain.

Seeing this scene, the young girl couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, speechless, “You brought me to the seaside just to eat seafood?”

“Otherwise? We Cultivated for over ten years, can't we occasionally take a break and enjoy life?”

Lin Fan looked up, speaking and working busily. His movements were swift as he disemboweled and skinned a sea dragon, its湛blue blood flowing out, glowing and brimming with Qi.

“I don't believe your nonsense. You're a big liar; there's not a single truthful word in your mouth.”

Qingyi shook her head, her hands behind her back, like a Fairy who had descended to the Mortal world. She stepped lightly, leaving a trail of footprints on the sand.

“Alright, actually, I brought my wife here to elope. I saw that the scenery here is nice and there's plenty of delicious food, so I'm planning to settle down here and have a baby with you.”

Lin Fan spoke earnestly and convincingly, appearing very serious, not as if he were faking it.

Upon hearing this, Qingyi gave him a huge eye-roll, unimpressed by his words. Her brows twitched, and she rebuked, “Stop talking nonsense. If you want a baby, go find the main body!”

“Okay, we'll have at least two, preferably Dragon and Phoenix twins. One will look like you, and one will look like me. It'll be perfect!” Lin Fan said with a smile.

Qingyi covered her forehead, truly defeated by him. Runes flowed over her radiant skin, and her pupils were deep and bright. Standing in the moonlight, she looked like a painting.

“If you keep talking nonsense, you can stay by yourself. I'm not accompanying you anymore.”

Lin Fan chuckled, placing the seafood into a cauldron and beginning to activate the Dao fire. Soon, the water boiled, and the cauldron emitted auspicious light, radiating brilliance.

At this moment, an enticing aroma wafted out, making one's mouth water and salivate.

“It smells so good!” Lin Fan was utterly intoxicated. Taking a sniff, it didn't smell like meat at all, but rather like a sacred treasure medicine, opening up one's pores.

In reality, these were all great blood and flesh medicines, boiled in spiritual springs and mixed with various old herbs and seasonings. They were no longer inferior to rare treasures.

For Mortals, they could be called immortal meat. Eating a bite could prolong life, as pure-blooded Venerable-level creatures were being boiled.

“It's still a bit off; it tastes best when it's thoroughly cooked,” Lin Fan muttered to himself. Then he started preparing octopus balls, skewering them with wooden sticks, and roasting them over the fire.

Yue Chan was bewildered. As a great Cultivator, one should abstain from grains and drink morning dew, but this fellow was the opposite, carrying seasonings and food with him.

However, that fragrant aroma and brilliant light permeated the air, making people忍不住swallow their saliva. It was just too incredibly fragrant.

“Why are you standing there? Hurry up and help. Can't you see your husband is too busy?” Lin Fan said with a resentful expression.

He had to activate the Dao fire and prepare the ingredients. He couldn't manage it alone, but this wife had no sense at all and just waited to eat. It was truly disheartening.

Qingyi's pretty face flushed. His expression made her a little embarrassed. She stepped on the cool sand and quickly came over to help.

The bright moon hung high, the water shimmered, the flames flickered, and smoke curled upwards. The two sat facing each other by the seashore, feeling very comfortable and at ease.

“Alright, let's eat!”

Lin Fan took out several jars of fine wine, broke the seals, and auspicious light burst forth. The aroma of wine and meat was intoxicating. Then, he and Qingyi feasted heartily, enjoying themselves immensely.

With one hand holding octopus balls and the other clutching crispy golden crab legs, their mouths were greasy with oil as they drank a cup of fine wine, feeling completely relaxed.

Half an hour later.

As the feast drew to a close, the two lay directly on the beach, their faces slightly flushed. They closed their eyes, savoring the aftertaste, and emitted Qi, with auspicious light swirling around their bodies.

“You still haven't said why you brought me here?” Qingyi murmured, gazing at the dreamlike starry sky, her heart much less melancholic.

Thus, she let go, her movements casual, no longer maintaining her elegant demeanor and composure, which was inconsistent with her usual sacred and serene temperament.

“You don't believe me when I tell the truth,” Lin Fan said, hugging the wine jar and taking another big gulp.

“Who told you to keep lying to me ever since our first meeting?” Qingyi pouted, grinding her teeth as she recalled what this guy had done.

“Alas, it's all because I fell in love with you at first sight. Back then, I was just thinking about how to trick you into my hands and marry you as my wife,” Lin Fan said with sincere and heartfelt emotion.

However, Qingyi remained unmoved, knowing well that this big liar was a drama queen. If she hadn't shared some memories with the main body, she would have truly believed his nonsense.

Even if there was love at first sight, it was for Yue Chan. And she… was just a secondary body, a tool, a substitute, destined to have no future and to have her consciousness erased.

As soon as she thought of this, a bewildered look reappeared in the young girl's large, calyx-like eyes. Knowing that she would eventually dissipate, she felt a little unwilling.

But this was her fate, inescapable, and she had no power to choose. People from the Upper Realm would only stand with the main body, not herself.

Or rather, the outcome was already determined the day the method of Cultivating the main and secondary bodies began.

Even this guy beside her would probably choose the main body.

At this moment, Qingyi still asked, as if by some strange impulse, “So, you lied to me because you like the main body?”

“Hmm… a little bit, I guess,” Lin Fan replied.

In an instant, Qingyi's eyes dimmed somewhat.

But then, he smiled, touched his chin, and continued, “It's because of Yue Chan, but definitely not because of liking her. She used to be just a little brat, and I found her interesting and wanted to tease her. Now, being lustful is closer to the truth.”

Immediately, a charming smile appeared on Qingyi's troubled face, and she playfully chided, “If the main body knew what you said, she would definitely kill you.”

“Hey, Qingyi, you wouldn't tell on me, would you?!”

“That's not certain. What if one day…” Qingyi smiled happily, narrowing her eyes. At this moment, she was somewhat lively, like a cunning little fox.

“Hmph, I finally told you the truth, and you're still threatening me. How hateful!” Lin Fan feigned anger, furrowing his brows.

“Hehe, what can you do to me?”

Qingyi covered her mouth, chuckling to herself. She stood up, patted the sand off her dress, and with astonishing boldness, provoked him.

At this moment, how could Lin Fan indulge her? He sprang up, shouting, “Hah! Today I shall subdue you, you demonic woman!”

“Ah… no, I won't say it anymore!”

“Hehehe, too late!”
