Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

"Are you full?" Wu Feng asked, looking at her.

Li Qinglu nodded, her lips curving into a gentle smile.

Wu Feng got up and saw Wu Xingyun off. When he reached the door, he called out, "Waiter, bring two buckets of hot water, make them very hot."

"Alright!" came the waiter's voice from the front.

Before long, the waiter came over carrying two large buckets of hot water, with steam rising from the buckets.

He was followed by a guy carrying two buckets of cold drinks.

The two poured hot water into a wooden bucket in the corner, mixed it with cold water, and tested the water temperature with their hands.

"Sir, please try it. If it's not hot enough, I'll add more," the waiter said with a smile.

Wu Feng walked over and reached out to test the water temperature. It was just right, comfortably hot.

He nodded. The two men left and closed the door behind them.

Wu Feng turned to Li Qinglu and said, "Go wash up, you must be tired from traveling these past few days."

Li Qinglu looked at him, her face slightly flushed.

She stood up and walked behind the screen.

The rustling sound of fabric coming from behind the screen came a moment later, and she peeked out half her head from behind the screen to look at him.

"Wu Lang, aren't you going out?" Her voice was soft, tinged with shyness.

Wu Feng looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I'm going out."

He got up, pushed open the door, walked out, and closed the door behind him.

Standing in the courtyard, the night breeze brought a slight coolness and refreshment to my face.

The old locust tree's branches rustled in the night wind, and moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

He walked to the old locust tree in the courtyard, leaned against the trunk, and closed his eyes.

The sound of water came from inside the house, as gentle as a breeze rippled across the lake.

He listened to the sound of water and sat to the side, practicing the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

After about 15 minutes, the sound of water stopped.

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Li Qinglu stood in the threshold. She had changed into a clean white undergarment, and her wet hair was draped over her shoulders, gleaming softly in the moonlight.

She looked at him, a smile curving her lips: "Wu Lang, you're done washing."

Wu Feng opened his eyes and walked over. Once inside, he bolted the door.

Li Qinglu was already lying in bed, the blanket covering her chin, only her face was visible.

Moonlight streamed through the window cracks, illuminating her face. Her features were gentle, her cheeks flushed with a faint blush, and her eyes shone brightly as she looked at him.

Wu Feng went to take a quick shower first.

Then he walked to the bedside and sat down next to her.

Li Qinglu shifted her body, snuggled into his arms, and buried her face in his chest.

She closed her eyes, let out a long breath, and her whole body went limp.

Wu Feng held her close, listening to her gradually calming breathing, and watching her slowly drift off to sleep.

The moonlight shone on her face, her lips were slightly parted, and a hint of a smile lingered at the corners of her mouth.

After looking at her for a moment, he moved Li Qinglu aside and covered her with a blanket.

Log out of the game before opening the interface.

The hatch opened, and Wu Feng opened his eyes.

I sat up, used the edge as leverage to jump out, walked to the edge, pulled back the curtains, and glanced at the night view.

He then changed into casual clothes, grabbed his phone and keys, and went out of the room.

Arriving at that familiar food street outside, the barbecue stalls were still open at night.

He walked to his usual stall, where the owner was busy flipping skewers on the grill. He looked up, saw it was him, and nodded: "The usual?"

"Let me take a look first." Wu Feng walked to the stall, picked out the barbecue items, put them in the basket, and handed it to the owner. "And a bottle of ice-cold beer, please."

"Okay." The boss took the basket, nodded, and started grilling the food inside.

Wu Feng turned around and found an empty table to sit down.

Soon, ten skewers of lamb, ten skewers of beef, two chicken wings, one eggplant, two skewers of chives, two skewers of dried tofu, two skewers of snails, two skewers of pig penis, two skewers of grasshoppers, two skewers of roasted sweet potato slices (salty), two skewers of roasted taro (salty), a serving of stir-fried noodles, and a bottle of ice-cold beer were served one after another.

Savoring the food that was served, I realized that the food outside was indeed more delicious than the food in the game.

They were drinking and eating at the same time.

After finishing our meal, we paid the bill and got up to walk back.

Back in my room, I took a hot shower.

After washing and drying myself, I changed into a loose white T-shirt and casual pants.

I walked back to the gaming pod, opened the hatch, and lay down inside.

In the game world, in a private room of an inn.

When the scene before your eyes changes from blurry to clear.

Li Qinglu was still asleep, her breathing light and even. He got up, walked to the window, and opened it.

Seemingly sensing the movement, Li Qinglu stirred, her brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and she continued sleeping.

After looking at the scenery outside the window for a while, Wu Feng walked to the side, picked up a cushion, and put it on the ground.

Then sit cross-legged and close your eyes.

He began to circulate the Northern Darkness Divine Art and started cultivating, guiding the true energy into a continuous cycle.

[Northern Darkness Divine Skill Proficiency +276]

The pale gold lettering moved steadily at the edge of the field of vision.

He immersed himself in the circulation of that true energy, letting the Northern Darkness Divine Art wash over his meridians again and again.

The night outside the window changed from deep black to dark blue, and then from dark blue to grayish-white.

A faint crowing of a rooster could be heard in the distance, carried through several walls, its sound muffled.

At 3:45 AM, Wu Feng slowly finished his practice, opened his eyes, and exhaled a long breath.

Li Qinglu was still asleep, curled up in the blankets, sleeping soundly.

Wu Feng glanced at it, got up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

In the courtyard, Wu Xingyun had already gotten up and was standing under the old locust tree, looking up at the branches and leaves overhead.

Hearing the door open, she turned her head and looked at him.

The two looked at each other but said nothing.

Wu Feng walked to her side and looked up at the old locust tree.

The branches and leaves are lush and rustle in the morning breeze.

"How much longer do we have to go?" Wu Xingyun asked, his voice calm.

"Four days," Wu Feng said. "From here to Kaifeng Prefecture, it should take three or four days to travel using light footwork."

Wu Xingyun nodded and said nothing more.

Wu Feng turned and walked back into the house. Li Qinglu had already woken up, sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes, her hair a little messy.

When she saw him come in, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

"Awake? Wash up and go out to get something to eat." After saying that, Wu Feng turned around and went outside to call the waiter to bring over hot water and food.

The group quickly washed up, ate breakfast, checked out of the inn, and continued their journey.

The pace slowed down over the next few days. Instead of traveling day and night as before, we stopped frequently, stopping in towns to rest, eat local food, and explore.

On the evening of the fifth day, they arrived at a small town called Chenliu.

The town wasn't big, but it was more lively than the border town.

The streets were bustling with people, and shops lined both sides, selling fabrics, groceries, and food, their signs swaying in the twilight.

They found a decent-looking inn in the city, booked two superior rooms, and settled in.

Then I went out, strolled around the streets, found a restaurant that looked popular, and went in for a good meal.

After dinner, we strolled around the streets, bought some local specialty snacks, and then returned to the guesthouse to rest.

On the evening of the sixth day, they finally arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture.

The city walls of Kaifeng were taller than any other city we had seen along the way.

The city walls, made of bluish-gray bricks, are about three zhang high. Every few dozen steps there is an arrow tower with upturned eaves, which gleam with a dark luster in the twilight.

Carriages and pedestrians came and went in a constant stream at the city gate. The gatekeepers were dressed in neat armor, with swords at their waists, and their eyes were scanning the crowds coming and going with vigilance.

Wu Feng and his two companions followed the flow of people into the city. As soon as they entered the city gate, they were greeted by a cacophony of noise.

The streets were wide enough for four or five carriages to walk side by side, and lined both sides with shops and signs that looked like a forest. They sold everything from cloth and grain to medicine, food, and groceries.

The streets were packed with people, shoulder to shoulder. There were wealthy merchants dressed in silk, commoners in coarse cloth, porters carrying bundles, warriors riding tall horses, peddlers carrying loads, women holding children, and children chasing and playing.

The air was filled with a mixture of smells: the aroma of baked flatbread, the savory fragrance of braised meat, the bitterness of medicinal herbs, the stench of horse manure, and the sweetness of cosmetics. All these smells blended together to create a unique ambiance that belonged to the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Li Qinglu opened her eyes wide and looked around, her eyes full of curiosity.

Having lived in the Western Xia imperial palace since birth, she had limited exposure to the world, and the bustling capital city overwhelmed her with its splendor.
