Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 439 - 196: 8,000 Springs, 8,000 Autumns (Part 2)
"Hey, come on, just tell me. It’s not like you’ll lose anything," Bai Yihuan urged.
Fu Manman looked at her and said, "Can you move the Eternal Night Snow Mountain?"
"I can’t."
"My husband can."
"Impossible!" Bai Yihuan stood up, glaring at Fu Manman, "That’s the Eternal Night Snow Mountain! It’s not the Desk Mountain behind my house!"
"Then just think of it as me bragging." Fu Manman continued flipping through her book, writing notes.
Bai Yihuan suddenly felt an itch in her heart, moving the Eternal Night Snow Mountain? What kind of power would that be! He must be really strong! But... it’s said that lovers see no faults in each other, maybe Sister Fu is just exaggerating because she loves her husband so much.
Wait a minute!
Her husband can make such delicious immortal food, he must have delved into the path of the Immortal Chef for years.
Can he have delved into the Immortal Chef path and still have time to temper his physical body?
He couldn’t be one of those old monsters that have lived for thousands of years, could he?
Bai Yihuan’s eyes widened instantly, "Sister, how old is your husband!"
Fu Manman was deep in thought about a great person’s insight on immortality and was startled by the sudden question, her train of thought completely interrupted.
She slowly filled her lungs, patiently replied, "Eighteen." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Eighteen? You must be joking!" Bai Yihuan crossed her arms, furrowing her eyebrows, "Sister, lying isn’t good behavior, especially lying to friends."
Friends?
Fu Manman was stunned, did I ever say we’re friends?
"Really, I’m not lying to you."
"Eighteen is still the age to play with mud! And he could move the Eternal Night Snow Mountain at eighteen?"
Fu Manman forced a smile, "First of all, he was only seventeen at that time, and secondly, whose kid still plays with mud at eighteen?"
"I do!"
"..." Such honesty, Fu Manman inexplicably felt a bit of pity, she offered a piece of pastry, "Fine, here, take it and eat on the side."
Bai Yihuan grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling with a full mouth, "Don’t treat me like a child!"
"Alright, alright, I’ll introduce you to him later, you can see for yourself whether it’s true or not, okay?"
"Great! I have another friend now!"
"Are you so lacking in friends?"
Bai Yihuan angrily said, "Blame those guys for not wanting to be friends with me. Is there something wrong with them that they don’t want to be friends with me?"
"Is it possible that the problem lies with you?"
Bai Yihuan widened her eyes, "Is that so? Do I have a problem?"
"..."
Silence.
Fu Manman continued reading her book, taking notes.
Bai Yihuan, bored, picked up a novel titled "Love in Long Life" and started reading. This was actually a romance novel, sharing its name with a classic covering emotional issues during the quest for immortality, probably collected by Elder Luo by mistake.
Fu Manman glanced at it briefly and tossed it aside.
In her spare time, she would sometimes read it, perhaps learning some witty phrases, but now, engrossed in contemplating the topic of "eternity," her brain was nearly overheated, leaving no energy for these novels.
Suddenly, Bai Yihuan asked a question, "Sister Fu, is intercourse the end or the beginning of love?"
Fu Manman was stunned, "What kind of question is that!"
"It’s written in this novel. The male protagonist believes intercourse is the beginning of love, while the female protagonist thinks it’s the end. They each insist on their opinion. I don’t quite understand, so I’m asking you," Bai Yihuan said, "You have a husband, surely you’re well-versed in these things!"
"Who says I’m well-versed!" Fu Manman glared, "Let me see that."
Bai Yihuan obediently handed the novel over.
Fu Manman quickly skimmed through a few passages, then tossed it back to her, saying expressionlessly, "This male protagonist is simply lusting after the female protagonist’s body, which is why he says that. Don’t believe him. It’s the female protagonist who wants to be with him for a long time, her words are credible."
"Eh..." Such matters were really confusing for Bai Yihuan, "What about you and your husband?"
Fu Manman instantly froze.
Bai Yihuan asked again, "Have you guys ever done that kind of thing?"
Fu Manman suddenly became enraged, "Get out! Get out! Get out quickly! Don’t bother me while I’m studying!"
She drove Bai Yihuan out with some hitting and scolding, then kept patting her chest to catch her breath.
Afterward, she felt a bit troubled, thinking she shouldn’t have vented all kinds of grievances on Bai Yihuan.
She contemplated going out to apologize.
Just as she opened the door, she suddenly heard Bai Yihuan’s excited shout, "Sister, look, quick, look!"
Fu Manman thought, seems there’s no need to apologize at all, this girl’s mind is quite limited, only capable of thinking about one thing at a time, once distracted, she instantly forgets the last matter.
"What is it?"
Fu Manman stepped onto the deck and looked forward.
A massive cloud blanketed the sky, covering an expanse of the sea for thousands of miles.
No, that wasn’t a cloud! That was a tree crown!
Beneath the crown was the trunk. The trunk was unimaginably vast, twisted, not straight, every groove in the bark appeared like interlocking valleys of mountain peaks, towering high, deeply sunken. And that was just above the sea surface, below the surface, it formed an even more complex network, thick and ancient. It’s hard to imagine how many annual rings this great tree would have.
The twenty-zhang-long Immortal Fishing Boat was like dust compared to this great tree before them.
What truly took Fu Manman’s breath away was the primeval, exuberant vitality flowing from this tree. In fact, in the face of such life force, breathing seemed impossible.
"Is it a mirage?" she murmured.
Bai Yihuan chuckled, "Sister, you’ve read yourself into a stupor."
Fu Manman suddenly snapped back, this giant tree was real! But why?
I calculated the sailing route, it was supposed to be the best course with the least obstacles! Why did we encounter such a colossal being!
