On the Heart of the Divine Island, ever since Chen Ping broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, besides training with Gabriel and Seraphim from time to time, he would occasionally check the chat group for any world quests.

Unfortunately, there were tasks available, but they were all small tasks that didn't even earn tens of thousands of points, so Chen Ping was too lazy to accept them.

Even the puppet controlled by Tuan Tuan couldn't accept it. There was no way around it; the world level was too low. Although there was a chat group that allowed him to enter, he couldn't use any of his power.

Otherwise, what awaits Chen Ping is the end of the world, and an unstoppable one at that.

If Chen Ping were to reveal even the slightest trace of his aura, the world would instantly be destroyed.

So he hasn't received a single mission these past few days. If the world can't accommodate a being of immortal level, he basically can't get in.

As for whether or not to venture into the core sea area? Well, it's not very meaningful. Since Heart City became popular, merchants come to trade every day, so Heart of the Divine Island doesn't even need to leave the city to collect most of the unique items in the core sea area.

Once you collect one type, it becomes endless.

As a result, Chen Ping is now like a salted fish, unable to turn his life around.

......

"Ah~ another wonderful but lazy day!"

Lying on the beach chair, Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh.

Gabriel, who was lying on a beach chair in her swimsuit, rolled her eyes upon hearing this and retorted, "When aren't you like this every day? What's so wonderful about it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping turned his head to look, then said with shining eyes, "You don't understand, do you? Life is meant to be enjoyed, you can't just fight and kill all the time, can you?"

"Hmm, hehe, Gabriel, your swimsuit looks really good on you, it suits you very well."

Gabriel looked down at her swimsuit; it was just an ordinary white swimsuit.

Ignoring Chen Ping's lecherous gaze, Gabriel frowned and said, "It's been three years already, and Big Sister and Lucifer still haven't returned? Could something have happened to them?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping, who had already moved closer to Gabriel, picked up some sunscreen, squeezed some out, and began applying it to Gabriel.

While applying the ointment, he replied, "Don't worry about that. With their strength, there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, Seraphim is already gone, isn't it?"

You'll get the news soon, don't worry.

Snap!

Gabriel said speechlessly, "If you're going to apply sunscreen properly, why are you putting it on my chest? Does your swimsuit not provide sun protection? Take your hand off right now!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping blinked and then laughed, "If white steamed buns turned into brown sugar steamed buns, wouldn't they look less appealing? Hehe."

"Hmm? Brown sugar steamed buns? What are those? Steamed buns made with brown sugar? Sugar can be made into steamed buns? Are there any benefits?"

Gabriel instantly transformed into a walking encyclopedia of questions, ignoring even Chen Ping's mischievous hand.

Upon hearing Gabriel's words, Chen Ping subconsciously kneaded the steamed bun and then said, "Brown sugar steamed bun, it's similar to a regular steamed bun, except that brown sugar is added to it, so it's caramel-colored instead of white."

As for the taste, it's alright, a little sweet, better than steamed buns.

Gabriel tilted her head, seemingly very interested in the "brown sugar steamed bun." "It sounds quite interesting. I've never eaten this kind of food before. Could you make it for me to try sometime?"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Of course, but before that, you have to do me a small favor."

"Help?" Gabriel looked at Chen Ping with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, look, I've already applied sunscreen for you. In return, can you apply some for me too?"

As Chen Ping spoke, he pretended to lie back down easily, closed his eyes, and looked like he was enjoying himself.

Gabriel sighed softly. Although she knew this guy was up to his old tricks again, she still picked up the sunscreen and began to carefully apply it to Chen Ping.

Her movements were gentle and careful, ensuring that every inch of skin was covered, and a subtle, harmonious atmosphere permeated between the two.

“By the way, Chen Ping, how long do you think we can keep living such a leisurely life?” Gabriel suddenly asked.

Chen Ping opened one eye and looked at Gabriel. "What, are you already starting to miss this kind of life? Don't worry, as long as we want, we can live like this for a very long time."

Moreover, let's not forget that we still have unfinished tasks. The world is so vast, there are always new and exciting things waiting for us to explore.

Gabriel smiled slightly, seemingly comforted by Chen Ping's words, "That's true, we still have a long way to go. But sometimes I wonder, what would it be like if we really completed all the missions?"

“That’s probably a new beginning,” Chen Ping said earnestly as he sat up. “Perhaps we’ll find new goals, or we might just create our own little world and live a truly meaningful retirement.”

At this point, both of them laughed simultaneously.

Under the sunlight, their smiles appeared exceptionally radiant, as if the tranquility and joy of this moment could last forever.

Not far away, the waves gently lapped at the beach, bringing with them a refreshing sea breeze. A seagull flew by, leaving behind a string of melodious cries, adding a touch of liveliness to the tranquil scene.

"Alright, let's not think that far ahead. The weather is so nice today, how about we go swimming in the sea?" Chen Ping suggested, standing up and stretching.

Gabriel nodded, and the two walked hand in hand towards the azure sea, leaving behind a trail of joyful footprints.

......

The morning sunlight streamed through the window into the kitchen, bathing everything in a warm golden glow.

Chen Ping, wearing a simple apron, stood in front of the cutting board, skillfully kneading the dough, his expression focused and joyful.

"Gabriel, come and take a look. The dough needs to be kneaded until it's smooth and very elastic. Only then will the steamed buns be chewy enough."

Chen Ping turned around and spoke to Gabriel, who was standing at the door with a curious expression.

Gabriel walked quietly into the kitchen, her gaze shifting between the dough, various seasonings, and Chen Ping's focused expression, appearing both curious and excited.

"I didn't know making steamed buns was so complicated! I thought it was just a simple matter of mixing flour and water together," she said with a smile, a hint of embarrassment in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping laughed heartily, "There's a lot to learn here, especially when adding brown sugar. Not only do you have to get the amount right, but you also have to pay attention to the temperature and the time."

Make sure the brown sugar is fully incorporated into the dough; this will ensure the baked buns have an even color and are sweet but not cloying.

As he spoke, he evenly sprinkled the prepared brown sugar into the dough and kneaded it vigorously again until the brown sugar granules were completely gone and the dough turned an appealing light brown color.
