Chapter 112: [Chu Keqing’s Decision] (8200 words)
In the following days, Chen Yan didn’t do much else, just followed his daily routine of circulating Primordial Qi at home.
Whenever he had some spare time, he would inject some Primordial Qi into the Ink Spirit Crystal.
During this period, he also went to the Mirror World of the little girl’s house in the community and handed over two fully charged Ink Spirit Crystals to the little girl.
He didn’t practice either of the Cultivation Techniques for Refining the Spirit or Body Refining.
However, he did meditate for a while each day to bring himself into a subtle and "just right" state of mind.
In Gu Qingyi’s eyes, Chen Yan seemed to become a bit strange—his demeanor.
Most of the time, he was the same as usual, but occasionally, Gu Qingyi felt that his demeanor and aura had a subtle change.
"Have you made any progress in your cultivation recently?" Gu Qingyi couldn’t help but ask Chen Yan.
Chen Yan shook his head and replied, "No, I haven’t."
"I don’t think so either. Your Primordial Qi growth is still in the normal range. But sometimes, you seem like..."
"Seem like what?"
"Like you’ve attained enlightenment or something."
Hearing this, Chen Yan’s heart moved. He then chuckled, "Maybe I’ve been reading more Taoist classics recently for teaching. The more I read, the calmer my mind becomes."
"Hmph," Gu Qingyi rolled her eyes, "But I also noticed you secretly browsing some borderline content on your phone."
"....."
Chen Yan told Gu Qingyi about the trip to Japan, and Gu Qingyi didn’t care much about it.
She only reminded Chen Yan not to miss the date of the Nether Marriage—the date had been set for March 4th!
According to the Chinese calendar, it’s February 5th! A day unsuitable for marriages or burials!
The day of lunar ruin, great misfortune, and separation! It’s considered quite unlucky for most activities.
But for a Nether Marriage, it’s actually a pretty good day.
"It’s fine. I’ll have a few days before the Nether Marriage date when I return from Japan," Chen Yan waved his hand and said with a smile.
Gu Qingyi then said no more.
These days, Gu Qingyi hadn’t been watching much Douyin mythical songs.
Instead, she had fallen in love with a... special culture.
"Pine and cypress! Concealing the truth! Heavy snow! Frost falls!"
"Thunderclap! This boundless cultivation power, earthshattering purple gold hammer! Purple lightning..."
Gu Qingyi sat in the living room scrolling through her phone, with the living room filled with the notes of old industrial music from the Three Eastern States...
Seeing the Consort Mother, immersed in this accent, with her eyebrows dancing...
Chen Yan couldn’t help but wonder if this woman had awakened some kind of bloodline...
Chen Yan actually asked Gu Qingyi, "I’m curious, what’s with your accent? Do we have buddies from the Three Eastern States in the Domain Realm?"
Gu Qingyi sighed, "Back in the day, my third uncle came to this world through the World Wall and met a very talented disciple here, who he then took back to the Domain Realm as an apprentice—it turned out this person was from the Three Eastern States.
My family told me that originally, we didn’t speak this way.
But ever since that disciple joined our Gu Family, thirty years ago... now the entire Gu Clan speaks with this accent..."
Well damn!
That’s our old iron from the Three Eastern States! One person influenced an entire family!
Seeing Chen Yan’s amused expression, Gu Qingyi sternly glared at him, "Don’t overthink things!"

Before the trip to Japan, Chen Yan also asked Lu Sisi out for a date.
They watched a movie together, had dinner, and then strolled hand in hand down the street.
Chen Yan found it a bit odd that Lu Sisi seemed slightly nervous during their date and her gaze appeared somewhat evasive.
Chen Yan didn’t think much of it and just assumed it was because the girl was a bit shy—after all, Lu Sisi always had a soft, rabbit-like personality.
That night, after sending Lu Sisi back to school and seeing her into the dormitory building, Chen Yan didn’t hesitate to pull Lu Sisi into his arms and peck her lips.
Hmm, this should count as their official first kiss.
Chen Yan felt a bit emotional, having lived for twenty-two years and finally experiencing how soft a girl’s lips were...
After being kissed, Lu Sisi seemed to freeze up, her mind not working properly. She just nestled in Chen Yan’s arms, clutching his clothes tightly, and didn’t move.
Although theoretically, Chen Yan was an SP, in practice, he had nearly zero experience and was also a rookie. After kissing the girl, he too was quite flustered and couldn’t think of anything else to do.
The two young lovers just stood there in the dark, hugging each other tightly, their bodies pressing together.
They stood there embracing for nearly ten minutes.
Until Lu Sisi’s legs became numb from standing, and she almost collapsed in Chen Yan’s arms. Only then did Chen Yan quickly help her stand.
Eighteen-year-old Lu Sisi leaned against Chen Yan, and Chen Yan could only feel his nose filled with the sweet and pleasant scent unique to young girls.
When reading those internet jokes about driving, Chen Yan didn’t really understand.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: So, young girls really smell so nice...
It’s a sweet, fragrant, somewhat inexplicably soft and delicate scent.
"Chen Yan..."
Lu Sisi, still in his arms, suddenly looked up at Chen Yan.
"Yes, what’s up?"
"If..." Lu Sisi’s tone became a bit unnatural, "If I have something I’m hiding from you, would you be angry?"
Chen Yan’s heart skipped a beat, "You have something you’re hiding from me?"
