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

On the crimson sea, Li Bing floated silently, the once invincible axe in his hand completely gone.

Meanwhile, hundreds of sea monster corpses rose and fell with the waves on the sea surface around him.

However, as the torrential rain relentlessly pounded on his face, Li Bing stared blankly at the broken horn of his sword in his dantian, his thoughts drifting back to the past.

Memories flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern, finally settling on Lu Changfeng's last question: "Was it worth it?"

Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh, but his tears mingled with the rain and dripped into the sea.

Because he knew he was wrong, and very wrong.

Lu Changfeng had asked him twice if it was worth it!

The first time was when he had just established his foundation. He said it was worth it, and Lu Changfeng gave him a lot of advice.

The second time was right before this battle. This time he also said it was worth it, but Lu Changfeng just sighed at him.

When exactly did it happen? When exactly did he become blinded by that golden elixir?

Was it because of that Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Blood Burning Sect? No,

Is it because of the environment? No!

It was because of his greed, his insatiable nature, and also because he lost his reverence and his empathy.

Things wouldn't have turned out this way if he hadn't been so greedy and had obediently started working again after paying off the loan.

If he were content and didn't lie to Lu Changfeng, he would already be a Foundation Establishment expert that ordinary people envy.

If he had known reverence, he wouldn't have rashly ventured into the depths of the siren's lair, and thus he wouldn't have died.

If he had still possessed that empathy, the team member wouldn't have died tragically because of his recklessness.

But he also knew that his current regret was only because he was about to die.

If he succeeds, none of this will exist! He will just smugly say, "See? Sometimes, cultivating immortality requires taking some crooked and unorthodox paths."

He really wants to say something now.

I don't want to die!

But he knew that his dantian had been pierced and his body was collapsing, and there was no cure for it. What was even more hopeless was his heart.

Brother Lu did so much for him, but what did he ultimately give back? Nothing at all, and he even deceived him.

As for Brother Lu, even though he knew he was lying to him, he still helped him without hesitation.

All he wants to do right now is apologize to Brother Lu.

He immediately took out the communication jade slip with trembling hands and infused it with a wisp of spiritual power.

Rain pelted the sea and his face, but he seemed oblivious, taking a few deep breaths before finally speaking.

"Brother Lu, I'm so sorry! Thank you for taking care of me all these years."

"I've disappointed you!"

The moment the message was sent, the communication jade slip detached and gradually sank into the bottomless depths of the sea.

Li Bing is dead!

Li Bing ultimately died in that heavy rain.

When Lu Changfeng arrived, all he saw was his lifeless but battered corpse.

In the end, he could only let out a heavy sigh.

"Hey, to strive for a goal until death, you really have a strong will!"

"No wonder you're having these strange phenomena!"

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Bing's corpse silently floated behind Lu Changfeng.

Before long, beside the Starlight Tree in the Hundred Flowers Valley, Lu Changfeng sat under the tree, with Li Bing leaning against the trunk in a seated position.

Looking at the vast expanse of fiery clouds in the distance, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but tease him.

"You little rascal, after working so hard for so long, now that you're dead, you can finally have some free time!"

"Let me show you the beauty of this world, so you won't have anything to brag about to the other dead!"

As the sun gradually set, Lu Changfeng stood up again and brushed the grass off his clothes.

"Now that I've seen it all, and since we're friends, I'll see you off on your final journey!"

"You've really hit the jackpot! There aren't many people I'd personally send off."

As Lu Changfeng's spiritual power continued to envelop Li Bing's corpse, a Rebirth Butterfly appeared in his hand the next moment.

The Rebirth Butterfly gently landed on his body, then slowly turned into specks of light, flying towards the horizon.

Just then, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, swirling and stopping opposite Lu Changfeng, finally swirling up a few petals that landed on his hand.

Upon seeing this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but smile. He then gently blew on the petals, which drifted away with the wind until they disappeared from sight.

The battle between humans and transvestites continues.

However, as the level of the battle escalated, Lu Changfeng was relieved of his logistical duties and returned to his office.

Lying on the sofa, which he hadn't slept on in a long time, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah, the sofa is definitely the most comfortable place to relax on when I'm slacking off!"

"Let me see if my dear employees are working hard!"

After saying that, he started sucking on his popsicle and began looking for his employees.

Lu Changfeng's first target was Li Mingfei, who was currently directing other employees to handle matters within the inn.

It seems he's still working very hard, perhaps even a little too hard.

This is probably because they had already spent all their spirit stones.

However, after walking a few steps, he spotted Xiao Qi sitting in the lobby rest area, where she was hugging and stroking a large rooster.

Lu Changfeng was utterly bewildered upon seeing this scene.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"

Turning her head, Xiao Qi saw Lu Changfeng, and then said, word by word,

"I'm waiting for my owner to come home from get off work!"

Hearing her stiff words, Lu Changfeng felt not angry, but rather a sense of satisfaction and comfort.

The sound did seem strange at first, but it's not so bad once you get used to it.

But Lu Changfeng seemed to hear a trace of human emotion in those words.

He immediately became interested and pointed to the rooster in her arms, asking,

"Little Seven, do you really like this rooster?"

"I think you've been stroking it the whole time!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi first glanced down at the rooster in her arms, then looked at Lu Changfeng and explained, pointing at the rooster in her distinctive voice,

"Golden-haired rooster, master! Stay with me!"

puff!

Almost instantly, Lu Changfeng understood what Xiao Qi meant.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

Although I used to call Li Mingfei "Golden Chicken" in private, it was just a nickname I used myself. Everyone else called him Brother Li!

Hearing this nickname from Xiao Qi's mouth now, Lu Changfeng was quite pleased.

As expected, his ability to come up with nicknames is quite impressive; even a puppet has accepted them.

However, from the conversation just now, it's clear that Xiao Qi has indeed regained a sliver of humanity.

After all, Li Mingfei wouldn't suggest something like having a rooster keep Xiao Qi company.

Finally, he couldn't resist making Xiaoqi repeat the scene, but this time he recorded it.

If this kid ever disobeys, I'll kill him on the spot!

Hehehe!

"Alright, alright, Xiao Qi, keep it up!"

After saying that, he left with a smirk playing on his lips.
