The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 706 Village Changes_1

Mengru’s performance today was so fierce that Li Qing could actually understand why.

After all, it had been quite some days since they last did it.

But what really surprised Li Qing was that today, he returned to his normal standard with Mengru.

After persisting for an hour and a half, he successfully finished.

This outcome was somewhat unexpected to Mengru as well.

Afterwards, she lay on the bed with her face flushed, meticulously cleaning up the aftermath for Li Qing, while saying, "I was originally ready to call for Teacher Guan to join us when I couldn’t hold on any longer. I didn’t expect you to end the battle so quickly this time."

"So is it me who has become stronger, or you who has weakened?"

Li Qing lay leisurely on the bed, gently stroking Mengru’s hair, and laughed, "It must be you who’s become stronger, of course. I’m still the same old me. It seems the Earth Spirit Spring Water has completely transformed you in one go, to the point where you can start cultivating. I’ll leave you a Breathing Technique later; take some time to practice when you can. After I’ve dealt with my master’s affairs, I’ll ask her if there’s anything suitable for your cultivation."

"Then we can seek immortality together and live in a different way from now on."

"Can you really achieve immortality?" Mengru asked, somewhat curious.

This question was somewhat difficult for Li Qing, who shook his head and said, "Actually, I don’t know either, but there should be a way. However, what I can be sure of is that the higher the strength, the longer the lifespan."

"At my master’s realm, living for several hundred years without any trouble is no problem. This is the biggest difference between cultivators and ordinary people; you can extend your own life by striving to become stronger."

Mengru, toying with something as if it were a lollipop, said casually, "Then that means I really have to put in the effort, or else in the future it might just be you visiting my grave. When my beauty fades, you might still look just as you do now."

"Otherwise, why do you think I’m so eager to find more Elixirs to remove marrow and change physiques for you all? I certainly don’t want to be alone in the future," Li Qing said.

Mengru laughed lightly, "Aren’t you tempted by the notion of a better future?"

"I prefer to be moved by the present," Li Qing said earnestly.

Being affectionate was one of his few good traits. Despite the many women around him, he still wanted to live up to that.

Mengru smiled satisfyingly, gave a gentle lick, and said, "This suddenly tastes even better."

Li Qing chuckled softly, his eyes warm as he lovingly caressed Mengru’s head.

The two of them cuddled on the bed for a while, sharing their innermost thoughts, before finally getting up and washing.

Afterwards, Li Qing left Mengru some more Earth Spirit Spring Water to soak in after a few days, until her body was completely free of impurities.

Li Qing was also unclear about the specifics of the Earth Spirit Spring Water, so he could only let Mengru try in this clumsy way.

"Qingzi, should we also call Teacher Guan to join us for a soak?" Mengru suddenly asked while Li Qing was handwriting the Breathing Technique.

Li Qing thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, it might be more convenient for Teacher Guan to come to your place."

"I’ll pour you some more spring water later, but you two shouldn’t soak together. It’s better if you do it separately," he said.

Mengru nodded and said softly, "Teacher Guan is now almost entirely devoted to you. Even though the child isn’t yours, I think you wouldn’t mind that. When it’s time to think of her, you should still remember to do so."

"I won’t forget. Your man isn’t that heartless or unfeeling," Li Qing said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"I’m just reminding you," Mengru replied, gently pinching Li Qing’s shoulder.

After writing down the Breathing Technique and teaching Mengru the specifics, Li Qing left her with some Earth Spirit Spring Water and then departed the school.

It was the time when students were being dismissed from school, and the campus was teeming with youthful energy.

Li Qing mingled among them, looking at the young faces, and slowly stepped out of the school.

With the aid of these elixirs, he once again saw a clear goal in his life.

In the future, he apparently wouldn’t need to learn from Qi Junhou how to circle lands and buy islands.

Once everyone had cultivated to a certain realm, he could totally switch to a different way of life.

Creating a place like Nine Truth Palace actually seemed pretty great.

When he returned to the village, it was just in time for evening.

The homebound farmers and the curling smoke from hearths were as usual, yet compared to before, Sanhe Village had clearly gained a far more commercial atmosphere.

Near the main road at the entrance of the village, in addition to his own small shop and the barbecue stall, several more stalls had popped up.

The vendors were all villagers, and the goods for sale were their own produce.

Cured sausages, cured meats, honey, and some mountain fruits not commonly seen elsewhere.

The village committee’s square had long been packed with trucks of all shapes and sizes.

Han Mei and her group preferred to earn less in order to build return business, which now seemed to be paying off.

Compared to the few restaurants near the town, Li Qing’s barbecue stall didn’t have much of an advantage.

But due to the village’s convenience, those truck drivers could basically solve their eating and lodging problems in one go.

Moreover, spending less money for good food and comfortable accommodation offered a great value for money.

At times, one might even score a warm-hearted, hospitable owner willing to share a bed.

This was something Li Qing had only recently heard about.

No one knew where the rumors started, but they were detailed and vivid.

Some said that a few left-behind young wives had secretly colluded to slightly increase their income by enticing drivers to stay overnight at their homes for a meager fee, then quietly negotiate two or three hundred yuan for a night’s rest.

Farmhouse meals, a big warm kang bed, and the embrace of a simple young wife.

For such a tempting offer, even spending four or five hundred yuan was something many drivers were willing to do.

Such matters were beyond Li Qing’s control, and in fact, he had no authority over them.

The best he could hope for was that as long as they didn’t go too overboard, he’d just let them be.

They hadn’t brazenly come to solicit customers at the doorstep of his small shop; it was all negotiated in private after taking the drivers home, so what could he possibly say?

The barbecue stall was bustling, and today it was particularly busy with seven or eight tables already seated.

Han Mei and the others were each busy with their tasks, very much in the thick of things.

Li Qing walked over to help Qin Wenjun skewer meat.

"Wow, at last, we have a man in the house!" Qin Wenjun started speaking as soon as she saw Li Qing sit down.

"What’s up? Thinking of covering up and screaming ’Daddy, don’t come over’ again?" Li Qing said with a mischievous smile.

Qin Wenjun’s face instantly turned red, and she whispered fiercely through gritted teeth, "I... I was just not experienced enough to handle it, don’t think you’re really that good. Try again tonight if you dare, just be careful I don’t snap it off."

Li Qing loved her spirited determination even in the face of fear.
