The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

On the last day of the year, Lu Changfeng, who was sleeping, felt as if he was experiencing sleep paralysis.

"Aaaaah, I'm invincible! This mere sleep paralysis will kill me!"

As he murmured, Lu Changfeng suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it wasn't sleep paralysis at all, but rather that Zhen Ji was asleep on top of him.

Upon seeing this, he immediately picked up Zhen Ji and asked with a displeased expression,

"Zhen Ji, why are you suddenly in bed instead of in the flowerpot?!"

"You'll really get dehydrated easily, you know!"

A normal child would just crawl along, but Zhen Ji is something else entirely. She's an unknown flower, transformed, but essentially still a plant.

During the day, it's fine if she's removed from the flowerpot, since she's conscious and will water herself when she's thirsty. But at night when she's sleeping, she absolutely cannot be removed from the pot, otherwise her roots won't be able to absorb water, and she'll really die.

However, Zhen Ji yawned, then pursed her lips.

"But Dad, it's winter now. I'm just a herbaceous plant. Although I won't die because of my spiritual energy, I'm afraid of the cold!"

However, Lu Changfeng simply tossed her onto the bed, then began to dress himself, piece by piece, before saying with a disdainful expression,

"Come on, this isn't the only time it's snowed this year. Why didn't you seem to mind the cold before?"

"Besides, what about last year?"

He didn't know whether other plants were frost-resistant, but he knew that Zhen Ji was definitely frost-resistant.

"Hehe!"

Seeing that her lie had been exposed, Zhen Ji stuck out her little tongue in an attempt to deceive everyone.

Unfortunately, Lu Changfeng wasn't buying it.

"Alright, keep a close watch on the house today. And remember, whatever you do, whatever you do, whatever you do, don't open the door when you see Old Deng!"

Recently, as Old Denneng has started taking care of the children again, he has joined forces with other fathers from the "Fathers' Alliance" to come to his home for some fun.

The end result is that all my snacks are always completely devoured.

So now he doesn't keep much stuff in his room, but he did give Zhen Ji a special storage bag filled with all sorts of snacks.

"good!"

Seeing how obedient she was, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but ruffle her pink hair.

Then, taking advantage of her inattention, he quickly raised it and circled it around himself, causing a shower of pollen to fall from her head. Upon seeing this, Lu Changfeng immediately took a deep breath.

He nodded in satisfaction.

"Um!"

"Great, this tastes just right!"

Sure enough, Zhenji brand perfume smells amazing!

However, Zhen Ji, who had just been shaken around, squatted on the ground, holding her head, her cheeks puffed out in anger.

"Old Deng, you're doing this again! Look how much pollen you've wasted on the ground!"

Lu Changfeng seemed completely unconcerned about this.

"Hey, it's no big deal. You have dandruff every day anyway, don't be so petty!"

This was also a small function of Zhen Ji that he accidentally discovered: Zhen Ji's hair was actually formed from flower stamens, so this area would unconsciously produce pollen.

He initially thought it was dandruff.

"It's pollen, pollen!"

Zhen Ji immediately argued her case.

There was nothing she could do. The pollen, which was perfectly fine, suddenly seemed more like dandruff to her after Lu Changfeng described it that way. But she still had to fight for it.

"Um, actually you don't have to do this. How about I start sprinkling pollen on you myself starting tomorrow?"

As he spoke, he cautiously looked up, but unfortunately, the bastard was already gone.

Zhen Ji was left alone there, stomping her feet in anger.

Meanwhile, Lu Changfeng had already ridden his little motorcycle out of the Azure Dragon Gate and was on his way to great fortune.

However, sitting in his seat, he rubbed his chin with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm, I think I heard Zhen Ji say something when I left? Oh well, it's not important!"

"Hehehe, I wonder what kind of flower Zhenji is. I've been looking up yellow spiritual plants lately, but I haven't found anything like Zhenji!"

He had seen Zhen Ji's true form bloom with small yellow flowers, but after checking, he found no such flower. Instead, there was a purple one called Aster tataricus that looked very similar.

So he began to suspect that Zhen Ji might have mutated?

However, whether it transforms or not is of little use. Even if it is an aster flower and becomes a spiritual plant, it can only cure coughs. It is better to just admire it.

But the thought of going to work makes him lose interest.

Today is the end of the year, and Luoyun Shopping Mall usually selects outstanding employees and awards them accordingly.

But everyone knows what happened this year!

Duan Yu took away half of the supplies during the Spirit Testing Conference. With such a big incident, Su Ziyuan probably won't be giving out any more rewards.

As expected, I was notified to go to the mall for a general staff meeting as soon as I arrived at the inn. Apart from five outstanding employees who received double monthly salary as a bonus, everyone else only received verbal praise.

Lu Changfeng didn't care about this, after all, he had already received his year-end bonus during the spirit-testing competition.

The employees on the second floor didn't seem to care much, since they were all Su Ziyuan's trusted followers, and she wouldn't mistreat her own people.

As for the first floor, they didn't care at all, since Duan Yu had already shared some of the supplies he brought with them, so they had long since given up on expecting year-end bonuses.

In short, this was the most rudimentary year-end meeting Luoyun Shopping Mall had held in its five years of operation.

After finishing the year-end meeting, he went to Wang Mang's furniture factory again, and as expected, he received a bonus of 50 yuan.

It should have been higher, but since the contract was sold to the Gao family, the Gao family wanted to get the blueprints for the production line. Wang Mang, after being reminded by Lu Changfeng, naturally refused to give them up, and was thus coerced into only complying with the minimum standard stipulated in the contract.

So the furniture factory, which was supposed to expand, has now shrunk back down.

However, because of this dividend, Lu Changfeng suddenly had 113 million gold points.

Given the nature of the pay-to-win system, the Foundation Establishment stage gift pack is ten times more expensive than the Qi Refining stage gift pack. The perfect Foundation Establishment gift pack costs 6, so based on this calculation, my perfect Golden Core gift pack would cost 64, which is more than enough for my current spending points.

Thinking of this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but feel happy.

After get off work, he hurried to a noodle shop not far from the inn.

"Boss, is my noodle ready yet? I want it to go!"

Hearing the sound, a beautiful woman came out of the kitchen.

"Oh, isn't this Manager Lu? Don't worry, we've already prepared everything!"

"Alkaline mushroom noodles, here you go!"

As he spoke, he handed over a small food box, which contained the alkaline mushroom noodles that Lu Changfeng had ordered.

However, it wasn't him who ate it, but Zhen Ji. She didn't know what was so delicious about it, but she just really liked it.

As for why I brought her food, that's a tragic story in itself.

When her mother found out that Zhen Ji spent all her time sunbathing and eating snacks instead of eating any proper meals, she immediately gave Lu Changfeng a good beating.

So the two sides agreed that Zhen Ji would be given at least one normal meal a day, with the excuse that since she had become human, she should have some human qualities.

However, just as he placed the mushroom noodles in front of Zhen Ji today, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Then a flustered guy rushed in, carrying something wriggling, shouting as he did so.

"Hahaha, brother, I've brought you some local specialties from the Hehuan Sect!"
