Of course, regardless of whether Yunyou's martial arts skills were good or not, Zhao Qingyan was very grateful. In those days, if a family had a recipe for making sauce, they would keep it a secret.

They were afraid of revealing it to others, let alone such a high-level secret manual as internal energy cultivation techniques.

Yunyou can teach her and improve her martial arts skills. For that reason alone, Zhao Qingyan should serve Yunyou well and take care of him until his death.

Of course, if his body has already cultivated to a certain level and is an immortal old man, Zhao Qingyan can't guarantee who will be there to see him off in his final days.

Despite constantly calling him "old man," in Zhao Qingyan's heart, he is a true ancestor.

Zhao Qingyan enjoys venturing into the deep mountains to search for treasure, but she doesn't stay there for ten days or half a month every time.

However, ever since Yunyou arrived, Zhao Qingyan has spent more time in the mountains each time than before.

The deeper into the mountains, the more dangerous it is, but of course, the more rare medicinal herbs there are.

Tigers, venomous snakes, and bears are all child's play now.

Zhao Qingyan had no idea how the Daqingshan Mountains had evolved, and she was quite speechless looking at the plants in front of her.

I took out two masks, gave one to Yunyou, and wore the other myself because the stench was really overwhelming.

Fortunately, they didn't continue forward.

About fifty meters ahead, there was a giant flower with a diameter of one and a half meters, which looked incredibly beautiful.

With his left hand, he tightly gripped Yunyou, who wanted to find out more.

The two stood silently, watching as small animals accidentally wandered in and were enveloped by the enormous flowers, struggling at first before finally becoming motionless.

"Girl, what is this thing? It's so powerful. Could it be a flower spirit that has come to life?" Yunyou asked in alarm.

"Flower fairy my foot! That's a man-eating flower, also called the giant flower."

Normally, this thing should grow in tropical rainforests. I don't know what kind of place this Daqingshan is, how come it has this thing here.

Alright, don't you know curiosity killed the cat? Let's go somewhere else.

You've finally gotten this shell, so you'd better cherish it, or you'll be letting down the wandering master.

I don't know where the real wanderer went, and he lent his shell to someone like you who has no wisdom.

Ancestor, you look quite young. Why don't you marry a wife and have a few children to leave some descendants for the true wanderer? What do you think?

Look at that expression on your face. Don't worry about not having money to support your wife and kids. If you don't have money, I'll lend you some to buy a house and land.

Whether you farm or raise pigs, you can pay me back slowly as you earn money. If you can't pay it back, let your son and grandson pay it back slowly.

Even if I don't get married, I'll definitely find someone with good genes and have a child. Naturally, there will be debt collectors waiting for your descendants to pay back the money..."

Zhao Qingyan kept spouting all sorts of inappropriate remarks, not because she was having a brain fart, but because she was just too nervous.

She had always thought that the top of Daqingshan Mountain was mostly primeval forest, and that the creatures inside should be normal. If she saw the man-eating flower, how far away could other strange creatures in the tropical rainforest be?

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best; it's most important to get away as soon as possible.

Yunyou also sensed Zhao Qingyan's unease from her rambling.

He pulled his arm away from Zhao Qingyan's grasp and instead wrapped it around her waist, startling her.

Just as he was about to resist, Yunyou used his lightness skill to leap forward twenty or thirty meters.

"My God, this...this...this is real lightness skill! Old man, you're kidding me..."

Zhao Qingyan's roar dissipated in the wind.

Yunyou quickly led Zhao Qingyan away from this area.

I felt uncomfortable as soon as I entered this area. Normally the temperature in a forest is much lower than outside, but it was incredibly stuffy and hot here.

Now that the girl has discovered the danger, is she planning to stay and celebrate the New Year instead of escaping?

More than half an hour later, the two finally left the area that had been making them uncomfortable. After putting Zhao Qingyan down, Yunyou was exhausted, panting heavily with his mouth open.

Zhao Qingyan quickly rummaged through her spatial storage and pulled out a tub of ice cream for him.

As for water, we dare not give it to Yunyou for the time being. Drinking water after strenuous exercise can easily cause lung damage.

Regardless of whether ice cream is solid or not, the main purpose is to cool it down by holding it in your hands.

Two chairs were set out, and after the two had rested enough, they got up again and headed home.

"Ancestors, exploring these mountains isn't really fun. How about we stop going into the deep mountains in the future?"

Zhao Qingyan asked tentatively.

"I don't care, but won't you get bored if you don't go into the mountains?"

Should you go to town to run your family shop, or spend all day learning needlework from your sisters-in-law?

"Oh, and also, you could farm, or raise pigs?"

Yunyou said calmly.

Zhao Qingyan was speechless, as if she disliked everything Yunyou had said, and said indignantly,

"Can't I just eat and drink every day and be a beautiful fairy?"

"Sure, of course you can stay home all day doing nothing. In a few days you'll be so bored you'll grow moss, and then all your relatives will come to your house to arrange marriages for you."

"Well, these families proposing marriage are either after your family's fortune or your dowry, and they're all pretty much the standard type with one nose and two eyes."

The wanderings and blah blah blah never stop.

Zhao Qingyan is trying to betray her master and ancestors again.

"My goodness, so the person I'm being asked to marry is only fit to be a person, and one who doesn't even have a face."

Yunyou nodded.

"Yes, yes. Your destiny hasn't arrived yet, and you're not suited to stay at home, so your ancestor has reluctantly brought you out to play."

Alright, Zhao Qingyan said nothing more. Seeing that it was getting late, she found an open space to prepare to cook.

I took out a shovel, dug out a firebreak, and collected a lot of dry firewood to use for a campfire tonight. We plan to have a barbecue and drinks tonight.

Today was truly a thrilling day, so scary!

In fact, humans are far more afraid of the unknown than of the known. For example, encountering a tiger or lion doesn't feel so dangerous.

The barbecue grill was set up, the charcoal was lit, and various ready-made meat skewers were taken out from the space and started grilling.

A small table is set up, tableware is laid out, cups are filled, and all that's left is to serve the meat.

Yunyou was half-lying in the chair, waiting for Zhao Qingyan to grill a bunch of food and eating them, he was very content.

Whenever Zhao Qingyan wanted to say something sarcastic, Yunyou would say he was too tired to move and his hands were shaking.

"Alright, you're the ancestor, it's only right that we serve you food and drink, please enjoy."

"Is there anything else you would like me to bring out for you to try?"

Zhao Qingyan pronounced the last syllable of her name so long that it was easy to hear the gritted teeth in her voice.
