A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei laughed and said, "Wheat tan is a healthy color, and it's very cute. Cai Cai, you don't need to worry about such things."

Hearing Li Wei's words of comfort, Haruhara Nana instantly felt revitalized.

Chapter 1. Seeking within oneself, not externally.

Li Wei said, "To celebrate Nana's return to Chunyuan Manor, I'll be cooking lunch today to show you the taste of Okinawa. Of course, considering that most people in Japan can't eat spicy food, all the dishes will be non-spicy."

Haruhara Nana looked surprised and said, "Brother Li Wei, you can cook too?"

Li Wei said, "It's just a hobby. After all, Chinese people are very particular about food, so in my spare time I also study cooking to satisfy my appetite."

As a Qi cultivator who follows the traditional path, Li Wei had already completed the practice of abstaining from grains after cultivating to his current strength. For him, food was a backward and inefficient way of absorbing energy, far less efficient than directly absorbing the energy from the bottom layer of the universe. However, food not only satisfied his cravings for taste but also reminded him that he was a person with the seven emotions and desires, not just a stone that could only cultivate. If cultivation led to being as heartless as a stubborn rock, what would be the point of living?

Moreover, the Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture itself does not prohibit practitioners from having emotions. Positive emotions can even increase the efficiency of fellow practitioners to a certain extent. Therefore, Li Wei pays great attention to cultivating the relationship between himself and his partner. This is a cultivation method that requires "love" to practice.

Because he has maintained his humanity to the greatest extent possible, Li Wei is just like an ordinary person in his daily life, and he also pursues beautiful scenery, beautiful things, beautiful people, and delicious food.

Li Wei suddenly had a random thought: if he had time, he could visit the world of "Food Wars!" After all, it has both delicious food and beautiful women, making it a perfect playground for someone like him to relax and adjust his mood.

Moreover, bringing the beauties from the world of Food Wars! to the floating islands would also enhance the food culture and culinary skills on the islands. Li Wei would be happy to do anything that could improve the quality of life for his companions.

Li Wei snapped out of his thoughts and said, "As for cooking skills, although I can't compare to those professional chefs, I'm still better than the average person. Ordinary home-cooked dishes are no challenge for me."

Haruhara Nana said, "Brother Li Wei, cooking skills also require a considerable amount of time to hone. How do you manage to have enough time to practice your cooking skills while ensuring your medical studies are completed?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "This is probably what talent is. I have had a strong learning ability since I was a child. What others need to learn many times, I only need to learn once to remember firmly. So the time I need to master a skill is far less than that of ordinary people."

Haruhara Nana wore an envious expression. Although her academic performance was quite good, it was achieved through burning the midnight oil. She didn't possess extraordinary learning talent, so she would get a headache when encountering difficulties in her studies. She envied geniuses like Li Wei, who could learn anything and do it incredibly quickly. She could only sigh inwardly that the gap between people was sometimes greater than the gap between humans and animals.

Haruhara Nana said, "If I had half, no, even a percent of your talent, Brother Li Wei, I would be completely satisfied. To be honest, maintaining a top ranking in my studies is really difficult."

Li Wei said, "There are tricks to learning. If you are interested, I can tutor you and teach you some self-study tips."

Haruhara Nana exclaimed excitedly, "Really?!"

Li Wei laughed and said, "I wouldn't lie to you. This isn't some secret that can't be shared. There are all sorts of learning methods on the market, but most people find it hard to find one that suits them. So they can only rely on piling up time to learn. This most primitive learning method is painful, and I understand that."

Haruhara Nana asked, "Brother Li Wei, do you also have times when you find studying difficult?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "Of course, when I was memorizing the National Pharmacopoeia of Chongguo, there were nearly a thousand medicinal herbs. I had to be familiar with their four flavors, ascending and descending properties, efficacy, and formulation principles. It gave me a headache."

Li Wei had indeed memorized the entire pharmacopoeia of the Chong Kingdom, but his purpose wasn't to study medicine; it was to refine pills. He knew nearly a thousand medicinal herbs, and almost two thousand in total, that could be used for alchemy. While the resulting pills wouldn't be particularly effective for him, they would be perfect for his companions. Furthermore, through combining ordinary herbs, Li Wei even extended his knowledge to the formulation of various extraordinary medicinal herbs. However, obtaining extraordinary herbs was quite difficult, and some could only be synthesized using his magic power, making it extremely inefficient. But through this "void-based medicine creation" combined with alchemy, Li Wei never lacked cultivation time. Whatever pills he needed, he could find a way to recreate them using his magic power, and once he could recreate them, he could use that as a basis for alchemy.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

However, during the initial reconstruction, Li Wei needed physical objects as a reference, and these extraordinary medicinal herbs naturally did not exist in the real world; he could only exchange for them through the system. But he only needed to exchange them once, because once he deciphered the basic structure of the medicinal herbs, he would be able to use his vast magical power to "create things out of thin air," shaping the medicinal herbs he wanted with his bare hands.

Unfortunately, Li Wei couldn't directly conjure pills with his bare hands, otherwise he could have skipped the pill-making process altogether.

.....

Li Wei's approach is the orthodox way of Qi cultivators. This is the so-called "not seeking externally, but seeking within oneself." It means that one has little need for external resources and can cultivate and grow anywhere.

The cultivators in those new-style cultivation novels are, to put it bluntly, parasites who are extremely dependent on external factors. They are like greedy creatures that only eat and don't excrete, only seeking their own development and completely disregarding the damage that such development will cause to the external environment. Therefore, in those new-style cultivation novels, the cultivation world can never escape the Dharma-ending Age, which is the punishment brought about by unsustainable and destructive development.

Orthodox Qi cultivators like Li Wei despise those parasites. When Li Wei cultivates, his own magical energy fluctuations dissipate outward, optimizing the external environment. This harmony and stability between man and environment allows him to weaken his own bottlenecks and go further.

Chun Yuan Nana's mouth gaped open in surprise. She hadn't expected Li Wei's memory to be so terrifying; he could remember the properties of thousands of medicinal herbs completely.

Haruhara Nana said, "Brother Li Wei, please tell me how to improve my memory!"

Li Wei said, "This kind of thing can't be done through learning; it requires medication to regulate the body, combined with acupuncture and head massage. I'll explain it to you slowly later."

Haruhara Nana nodded like a chick pecking at rice. If she missed such a good opportunity, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Chapter 1. Knowing a person's face but not their heart.

Young Haruhara Nana was unaware of Li Wei's plans. She was also unaware that she was one of Li Wei's targets. Li Wei's current friendly, approachable demeanor was merely a disguise to conceal his true intentions.

It must be said that Nana Haruhara is indeed a very charming girl. She has a mature figure far beyond her peers, and her body proportions are so perfect that she looks like she exists in a manga. She can be said to be a miniature version of her older sister. In addition, her cute baby face is a huge contrast to her figure. It can be said that if she appeared in the real world, many men would definitely exclaim "Wow!"

Such a lovely girl would be irresistible to any straight man, and Li Wei, who considered himself an ordinary person, was no exception. He also had a love for beauty, and he would regret missing out on such a lovely girl for a long time.

Li Wei glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "I need to go to the kitchen to prepare food. There are so many people in the dormitory, and there's also a big eater who's suddenly appeared. If we don't prepare enough, people won't have enough to eat at lunchtime."

Li Wei stood up, wrapped the apron around his waist from the low table, and resumed his previous homebody attire. This relaxed, homey style made both sisters' hearts flutter. There are many strong and charming men in the world, but it is very rare to find a charming man like Li Wei who cares about women's feelings and pays attention to the details of every aspect of life.

Just as women are proud of their looks, men also have this mentality. Therefore, handsome men often have personality problems to some extent. In Japan, there are many male chauvinists among handsome men. These men don't consider women's feelings at all. It's almost impossible to get such men to cook, except when they live alone.

The two girls watched Li Wei's figure disappear through the kitchen doorway, neither of them wanting to look away.

Haruhara Nana whispered, "Sister, it's time to snap out of it. You live with Brother Li Wei every day, haven't you had enough of looking at him?"

Haruhara Ayaka felt a little embarrassed by her younger sister's words. How could she possibly get tired of this? Just like how people feel hungry if they don't eat, she felt anxious and insecure when she couldn't see Li Wei. She thought this was perfectly normal.

Haruhara Ayaka said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just thinking about what kind of dishes Li Weijun would cook, and I got a little lost in thought. What are you thinking about all day long?"

Haruhara Ayaka gently tapped her younger sister's forehead. Haruhara Nana was several years younger than her, and it was the time when her heart was just beginning to blossom. She understood that her sister had been captivated by Li Wei's charm, and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She could only let things take their course.

However, Ayaka Haruhara was in no hurry to expose her sister's little scheme. She also knew that in the future, more and more women would gather around Li Wei. If she was petty and intolerant, she would eventually get sick from all sorts of things.

After all, Li Wei was already keeping a low profile, but even so, every woman around him had an extraordinary fondness for him. Haruhara Ayaka knew that even the three young girls still in the upper country had romantic feelings for Li Wei. What could she do about it?

Besides, it's better to guide than to block. Instead of being overly cautious about such things, it's better to secure her position by Li Wei's side in advance. That way, no matter how the external environment changes, she will always have a place by Li Wei's side.

Because she has figured this out, Ayaka Sunohara's mindset is now different.

Haruhara Nana said, "I can already tell that you have feelings for Brother Li Wei, sister. Even Yuzu and the others probably know about this. But speaking of which, I really envy you, sister, for being able to meet Brother Li Wei. I don't have your luck."

Haruhara Ayaka sighed and said, "But to be honest, I'm still scared of what happened and why I met Li Weijun."

Haruhara Nana nodded. She could feel that fear. After all, she had witnessed her sister's change. If it were the old Haruhara Ayaka, she would never have said something like asking her to carry weapons when she went out.

Haruhara Nana said, "By the way, who is that little boy training outside right now? Didn't they used to not allow male students to stay at Haruhara Manor?"

Haruhara Ayaka said, "That's an exception. However, Nana, I advise you not to have too much contact with that child. Although he's young, he already has evil intentions. If it weren't for Li Weijun being here, someone who can keep things in check, I would have kicked him out even if it meant breaking the contract."

Haruhara Nana never expected her kind-hearted older sister to say such a thing; something must have happened.

Haruhara Nana said, "Why? That child looks so weak, his hands tremble so much even when he does a push-up, what bad things could he possibly do?"

Haruhara Ayaka said, "Kids these days mature very early. Don't underestimate him just because he's young. He was holding Sumire's underwear, trying to do something filthy. But Yuzu caught him red-handed, and because of that, Yuzu and the others really dislike him. And to be honest, he has a habit of arguing and lying, which is very bad. Not only Yuzu and the others, but I don't like that kid either. If it weren't for Li Weijun giving him another chance, I would have kicked him out long ago. Besides, even a child who can't even kill a chicken can get drugs through special channels if he really wants to do something bad, so I won't let my guard down. As long as he's still in Haruhara Soten, I'll keep a close eye on him."

Sunohara Ayaka did not reveal the reason why she hated Shiina Aki: Shiina Aki looked almost exactly like the human trafficker who kidnapped her. Every time she saw Shiina Aki, she would recall that terrible experience, which brought out the fear and disgust deep in her heart.

It's fair to say that just seeing Shiina Aki's face filled her with disgust and revulsion. The thought of her once delicate features now twisted into a grotesque expression, the two images endlessly overlapping, made it impossible for her not to loathe such a being. If it weren't for Li Wei giving her the courage, just seeing Shiina Aki would have given her a stomachache from fear.

Haruhara Nana also showed a look of disgust, saying, "He looks quite cute, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. You can never judge a book by its cover. We have to be careful around this disgusting guy. If he does something disgusting again, that would be the most troublesome thing."

Haruhara Ayaka said, "With Li Weijun around, if that child really has any evil thoughts, he might not even be able to save his life. He should understand this, so he will obediently put away his bad thoughts. If he is unwilling, I have plenty of ways to make him willing."

Listening to her older sister's domineering words, Sunohara Nana sighed inwardly, realizing that the previous kidnapping incident had had a profound impact on Sunohara Ayaka.

Chapter 1. The Eldest Sister is Like a Mother

Ayaka Haruhara said, "Nana, I said before that if you were willing to move back to Haruhara-sou, I would buy you a small motorcycle for transportation. You may have forgotten about this, but I won't. I mean what I say."

Nana Haruhara initially thought this was just a ploy by her sister to get her to come back, but she didn't expect that Ayaka Haruhara was actually planning to buy her a small motorcycle.

Haruhara Nana exclaimed excitedly, "Is this for real?! Sister, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Ayaka Haruhara said, "I've always kept my promises to you, so why don't you believe me this time?"

Haruhara Nana scratched her head and smiled sheepishly, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, it was her fault.

Ayaka Haruhara said, "I'll go with you to choose a motorcycle this afternoon. We'll go after the sun isn't so strong in the afternoon."

Haruhara Nana said, "I don't recall there being any motorcycle dealerships nearby, right?"

Haruhara Ayaka said, "Li Weijun has a pickup truck. This afternoon, we'll go out in the pickup truck. But let's make it clear first, you can only choose a standard vehicle with an engine displacement of no more than 100cc, and the maximum speed cannot exceed 1000 km/h. If you choose a motorcycle that exceeds this standard, then I won't buy it for you."

Haruhara Nana said, "The car you mentioned is enough for me, sister. I'm not one of those speeders, why would I need such a large displacement engine? If it weren't for the fact that the maximum speed of the original is only 50 km/h, the original of the CC would actually be enough. It's just that the high school I go to is a bit far from here. If it's the original, it would take more than 40 minutes to drive one way. If it's the original of the CC, it would only take less than half an hour to drive one way, which would save a lot of time."

Haruhara Nana was quite satisfied with her older sister's arrangement. She had originally thought her sister would only allow her to drive a small scooter with an engine displacement of less than 1.5 cc and a maximum speed of 100 km/h, which was more than enough for her current needs. All she needed was a means of transportation, not a fancy toy to show off. Therefore, she hadn't even considered things like a Kawasaki Ninja, a Honda Gold Wing, or a Yamaha Horizon. Besides, those expensive toys were still too pricey for her; she couldn't bear to spend the money, even if her sister was willing to pay for it.

Haruhara Ayaka spent the night researching motorcycles. Although she has a car driver's license and can ride a small-displacement motorcycle (CC), she knows very little about motorcycles because she doesn't use them regularly. She was able to recite those regulations because of her last-minute study; she learned about engine displacement classifications and speed limits, setting a relatively flexible limit for her younger sister.

Moreover, she set this standard for safety reasons. After all, CC's small-displacement motorcycles are very sluggish in terms of starting and acceleration, and the maximum speed limit is only 100 kilometers per hour. If Haruhara Nana encounters any danger and needs to escape, such a scooter would only endanger Haruhara Nana.

A motorcycle with a displacement of cc has more than twice the power of a scooter, plus a top speed of 100 km/h. If Haruhara Nana were to encounter any danger, such a speed would allow her to get away from the danger more quickly. As for motorcycles with larger displacements, she was worried that Haruhara Nana wouldn't be able to handle them due to their weight, so she set this relatively suitable standard.

Sunohara Ayaka's love for her younger sister is hidden in these details. She won't explain these things, and Sunohara Nana needs to think carefully before she can feel her good intentions as an older sister.

Li Wei, who was busy in the kitchen, had already learned about Sunohara Ayaka's thoughts through mind reading. It can only be said that with the elders in the family having passed away early, the eldest sister is truly like a mother, and Sunohara Ayaka has played the role of a parent in her younger sister's growth.

Inside the kitchen, all sorts of cooking ingredients appeared out of thin air and, under an unseen force, transformed into various pre-processed states. These ingredients, which possessed no extraordinary properties, consumed almost no magical power. It was precisely through this cheating method that Li Wei was able to prepare lunch for so many people by himself. If it were an ordinary person, preparing such a large meal, from ingredient processing to cooking, would take more than two hours.

After Li Wei methodically served the prepared dishes, the dormitory residents gradually arrived at the dining room. Li Wei's dishes were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate; the entire room was filled with a rich aroma. The various fragrances blended together harmoniously, creating a sense of refined elegance rather than chaos.

The three girls who had already come downstairs were initially focused on the dishes on the long table, but when they saw Haruhara Nana, they all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Nana-nee, when did you get back? How come we didn't know?" Yuzu Yukimoto said in surprise. At the same time, she ran over and threw herself into Nana Haruhara's broad chest.

Haruhara Nana stroked her junior Yukimoto Yuzu's head and said with a smile, "Yuzu, it's been a long time."

Yuzuko Yukimoto looked up and said excitedly, "Sister Nana, are you moving back?"

Haruhara Nana nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's so chaotic outside now, it's not safe for someone to live alone, so I moved back. I'll be living here again from now on, please take care of me, Yuzu."

Kazami Yuri said, "Is Nana-nee planning to move back and stay permanently?"

Haruhara Nana said, "Yes, from now on, I'm going to stay permanently and won't leave Haruhara Manor so easily anymore."

Kazami Yuri smiled and said, "It seems that you, Nana-nee, have already noticed what's going on outside. Coming back was the right choice."

Haruhara Nana blushed slightly, after all, she hadn't realized the problem on her own, but had only returned here under her sister's prompting. She felt unworthy of Kazami Yuri's praise and didn't know how to respond.

Haruhara Nana realized she was the last to know the truth. She was grateful to be a member of Haruhara Manor and even had connections, with a very powerful brother-in-law. As long as she didn't do anything reckless, she could ensure her basic safety without any problems—something ordinary people couldn't enjoy.
