The Real Way to Cultivate in the City
Chapter 148 - 131: The Concept of Fully Automated Cultivation
Is the accumulation of magical power capable of being automated?
Recently, every day during his cultivation, Lin Hao has been pondering what method could ensure he’s cultivating whether he’s walking, sitting, or lying down.
If he could truly accomplish this, Lin Hao could ensure his participation in the normal world to earn a living while sustaining his cultivation efficiency.
The only drawback of city life is that normal people can’t completely immerse themselves in "seclusion."
What does seclusion mean to people?
Isolation!
That’s certainly more serious than fishing enthusiasts going to places without signal.
But it’s not a big issue, I still have plenty of time, eventually I’ll think of a solution...
...
Li Family Manor.
At the banquet.
Parents sat at the head of the table, Li Chuchu sat in her own seat, while the two brothers working outside Ke Chen City connected through video and were placed in their respective positions, then enlarged and displayed.
Their family hadn’t sat quietly together to chat for a long time, as they chatted, the topic gradually shifted to the marriage of their three children.
Mr. Li: "Eldest, have you found a girlfriend yet? When can I become a grandpa?"
Li Chuchu’s eldest brother: "Dad, why don’t you ask second brother."
Mr. Li: "Second, your brother’s asking you here? When can I become a grandpa?"
Li Chuchu’s second brother: "Dad, I haven’t found the right girl yet, but it’s normal for us guys to marry a bit later. Why not ask little sister, see if she can make you a grandpa first?"
The question circled around and landed on Li Chuchu.
Li Chuchu has always been a bit against blind dates, so occasionally she’s a little upset after Mr. Li points at her, while his temper was even bigger.
"You have time, you still have time."
"Talk about you now, you’re almost twenty-five."
"Rounding up, you’re almost thirty."
"In such a case, you should learn from your mom..."
He said, then slapped the table, stood up, and raised his voice:
"Wife, come teach our inept daughter well on how to capture a man’s heart."
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at Mr. Li before smiling at Li Chuchu, saying:
"Chuchu, we’re not forcing you to have children early, we’re just thinking, if you’re going to have them eventually, then having them earlier is better as it helps a woman’s physical recovery...
If, mom’s just saying if, if you meet a boy you like and want to spend the rest of your life with him but don’t know what to do, you can talk to mom about it."
With this, Mr. Li cooperatively flipped his head:
"Your mom’s quite skilled at pursuit, back then even the handsome, charming me couldn’t resist her advances and eventually knelt before her, and then..."
As he kept talking, Li Chuchu’s eldest brother said:
"Hold on, what are you saying, does it seem like...little sister does have someone she likes from what mom and dad are saying?"
Li Chuchu’s second brother also exclaimed, incredulous:
"There’s actually someone who has caught little sister’s eye? I thought with her high standards, she might get someone to move into our family."
Hearing her two brothers, Li Chuchu pouted, angrily speaking toward their screens:
"How could you talk about your little sister like that!"
Mr. and Mrs. Li looked at their three children, feeling a touch of happiness as the lively conversation continued.
But it wasn’t too late, a celebration could be brief and significant without needing extravagance.
No need for a...
All-nighter, right?
...
Mrs. Li finished her wash and brewed a cup of [Happy Milk Tea Powder Pack (Sleep Aid)], calmly finished drinking it, and returned to the bedroom.
The room was already filled with some snoring.
Looking at her husband’s sleeping face, a hint of affection appeared on Mrs. Li’s face.
She tiptoed over to her husband, preparing to lower her head and kiss him when Mr. Li suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring directly at her...
Mrs. Li: "Ah!"
Mr. Li: "Ha ha, I’ve broken through now, my inner power can be released externally; if you want to sneak attack me, it’s not that easy!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li’s heart flared up a bit, she lunged forward with the intention of having a proper discussion with Mr. Li...
But...
After a passionate session, Mrs. Li pushed Mr. Li away, rebuking:
"You’re so old, yet still not acting proper."
Mr. Li was nonchalant; a man is a boy till he dies, what harm is there in being a little childish in front of his beloved?
Mr. Li: "Are you going to sleep now?"
Mrs. Li: "I feel restless being tossed around by you, reading might help me sleep a bit."
Mr. Li: "Alright then, I’m going to sleep first."
Mrs. Li: "Fine, fine, you heartless one, go ahead and sleep."
Mrs. Li picked up a book from the bedside table, quietly flipping through it until Mr. Li’s snores grew, then took her phone and looked at the notifications—
#How to Balance Conflicts Between Children#
#How to Hold On to a Man’s Heart Firmly#
#...#
Indeed, this [White Shield Browser] is monitoring my life.
Mrs. Li frowned, determined to delete the browser immediately.
But...
Within less than two minutes of deleting the browser, someone sent Mrs. Li a message:
"What’s wrong, my girl, why did you delete the browser?"
Seeing the remark from the other party, a pang struck Mrs. Li’s heart—
Sister Lust.
When did I add this woman’s contact?
"You’re surely curious about when you added my contact...
But why be curious? We’ve always kept in touch internally, so naturally, adding your contact isn’t a challenge?"
Mrs. Li glanced at her sleeping husband by her side, carefully got out of bed, trying not to wake him.
As Mrs. Li left the room, the previously sleeping Mr. Li opened his eyes and looked towards the door:
"Darling, what are you afraid of?"
...
Once in the corridor, Mrs. Li quickly tapped the screen, asking:
"Lust, what exactly are you up to!"
Sister Lust: "I’m not up to anything, I just wanted to check in on you, is that wrong?"
Mrs. Li: "I don’t need your care, keep away from my life!"
Sister Lust: "Oh dear, why be so ungrateful? Back then, without me your family’s business wouldn’t have survived, you as a young girl wouldn’t have managed on your own. Without my guidance, could you have chased the husband you have now? Isn’t it unfair to burn bridges now?"
Seeing the reply, Mrs. Li took a deep breath and asked:
"What do you want, for you to leave my life?"
"My girl, why do you speak so harshly to me? Once you called me sister with such affection, now your words wound me deeply."
"I didn’t know... you belonged to the Extraordinary Universal School!"
Seeing her message, Mrs. Li’s eyes grew slightly sombre, another part remained unsaid...
I didn’t know, it was you who killed my parents.
Over these years she had found traces related to the deaths of her parents...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li’s body slightly trembled.
"Don’t hold too many prejudices against the Extraordinary Universal School, our current chairman is striving to cleanse our organization, it’s been a long time since I last killed anyone."
As Mrs. Li continued to respond, she heard the door creak open behind her, Mr. Li emerged yawning, leaning at the door:
"Honey, why are you outside so late?"
"Nothing."
"If it’s nothing, come to bed, lack of sleep ages you faster."
Saying so, Mr. Li strode over, lifted Mrs. Li up, whispering to her before bed:
"Whatever it is, wait for daylight, once rested, then handle it."
