Chapter 98: Warm and Daily Life (Part 2) After the two of them packed up...
After the two of them had packed up, Li Youyang found a book and leaned against the window to pass the time.
Bei Liyuan sat across from him, looking at Li Youyang. After a quarter of an hour, he said somewhat complainingly, "Master, it's been a quarter of an hour, and you haven't even glanced at me. Is that book really that good?"
Li Youyang turned a page: "Not bad."
Bei Liyuan stood up and hugged Li Youyang: "Master, I heard that fishing in winter is very interesting. Let's go try it?"
Li Youyang's eyes lit up and he put down the book: "Let's go and try it."
Bei Liyuan was slightly stunned. He thought Li Youyang would be too lazy to move, but it turned out that he was even more active than him.
The two left home and bought fishing gear and bait. The boss recommended that they buy an iron pestle to make a hole in the ice, but the two directly refused. They thought making a hole in the ice was too easy.
Everything was ready, and the two of them went to Suzhou's West Lake with great enthusiasm. Bei Liyuan summoned his magic sword and smashed a hole in it, and then the two of them began to bait and fish.
There are fewer things to eat in winter, so we caught fish quickly. After half an hour, we had a good harvest.
Bei Liyuan stretched lazily. "Master, it's almost done. Let's go back. I'll grill some fish for you."
Li Youyang nodded, stood up, and lightly used his sword finger to freeze the ice hole again to prevent anyone from accidentally falling in and feeding the fish.
As the two men were walking back with the bucket, they suddenly heard someone crying.
Li Youyang didn't want to care. Since he had decided to retire, he didn't want to interfere with other people's karma. Bei Liyuan was even more lazy and didn't want to care. It was none of his business...
Just as he thought of this, a blind burly man rushed over. Bei Liyuan hurriedly hugged Li Youyang and dodged him, but the bucket fell to the ground and all the fish spilled out.
Afterwards, two strong men dragged out a little girl, and it was this girl who was wailing.
An elderly couple followed the girl and said, "Please be kind. We only have one daughter. Please let her go."
The burly man holding the girl impatiently kicked him away: "If you can't pay the protection fee, then stop talking nonsense."
Li Youyang's eyes darkened. Bei Liyuan was originally unhappy because they knocked over the fish barrel, so he casually formed a formation, and the three strong men turned into ashes in an instant.
The two old men hurried forward and hugged the girl, then thanked the two men profusely.
Bei Liyuan flicked his fingertips and the fish was collected again. The two were about to leave when the girl suddenly spoke up, "Are you two benefactors immortals?"
The two men were too lazy to pay attention. The girl continued, "Three years ago, a monster suddenly appeared in the mountains. It would come down the mountain every month to harm people. Later, an immortal came and said he could subdue the monster. We paid him a reward, and within half a year, the monster really stopped harming people. But the immortal started asking us for protection money. If any family didn't pay, the monster would kill them that night. Over the past two years, the protection money has continued to rise. The villagers in this town have emptied their savings and can no longer afford it. Please, two immortals, save us."
Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang. He didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, but if Li Youyang couldn't bear it, he would intervene.
Li Youyang said coldly, "Let's go."
Bei Liyuan hummed.
After the two men left, the girl broke down and cried, "Mom and Dad, even though I was able to escape harm this time, I won't be able to escape it next time. This is probably my fate!"
After returning home, Bei Liyuan started to cook the fish, while Li Youyang leaned against the window with a book in his hand, his mind full of what had just happened. However, such a peaceful day was what he and Liyuan had been looking forward to for a long time, and he didn't want to break it, but it seemed that he couldn't do it even if he didn't save her.
Li Youyang was a little annoyed. How come after going through so much, he was still like this? He couldn't make a decision on anything. It was really annoying that he wanted so much.
Just as he was thinking about it, Bei Liyuan came in with a grilled fish: "Master, try it."
Li Youyang put down the book and took the fish.
Bei Liyuan looked at the upside-down books and raised the corners of his lips. He said softly, "Master, I think those three people today are quite pitiful. Why don't we take care of this injustice? Besides, I'm tired of living here. We should move to another place."
Li Youyang ate the fish silently. Of course, he could see that Bei Liyuan was trying to appease his unwillingness.
Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "Alright, silly, if I occasionally intervene and deal with injustice, I'll just consider it a good deed. It won't disrupt my current life."
Li Youyang hummed: "Sorry... Um"
Bei Liyuan sealed his lips, and after a kiss, he pretended to be angry and said, "If you ever say sorry or thank you to me again, I will use my method to make sure you don't have time to talk."
Li Youyang's ears turned slightly red.
After eating the fish, the two searched briefly and confirmed the location of the immortal mentioned by the villagers, and then used a teleportation array to reach their destination directly.
The immortal was sitting there with women on both sides, enjoying the happiness of having two wives.
Bei Liyuan frowned slightly after seeing the immortal. He didn't expect that the immortal was actually a demon. It was really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road and the ghost lingering around.
The human race, the demon race, and the monster race had finally lived in peace for some time. If they directly took action to kill them, it would inevitably cause more trouble. The two of them simply sealed them with magic, and then sent a message to the monster race, letting the monster race handle it themselves.
Originally, Li Youyang thought that he could deal with it secretly without having to move, but now he had to leave, so the two of them left overnight after delivering the letter.
…
This information reached the demon clan. Fu Guangjun felt the breath of Li Youyang on the letter. The moment he received the letter, he followed the breath, but he was one step too late.
After dealing with the demon, they searched nearby and finally found the place where Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan had been hiding before.
He had been looking for Li Youyang for two whole years, but he had searched almost the entire Jiuzhou Continent and still found nothing. Now he finally got some information, but it was all in vain.
After Li Youyang left, he regretted it. They were still alive, so why couldn't he just stick with him? Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan were Taoist couples, so what if they were in love? But who could guarantee that their relationship wouldn't suffer a fateful outcome? What if they had a falling out? What if one of them didn't love him anymore? He should have been thicker-skinned, more shameless, and more unscrupulous.
"My Lord, they should have left."
"Send someone to guard this place."
"My Lord, they won't be coming back, and no one can interfere with the friendship between them. Why bother doing this? Why don't you just look at the person in front of you?"
Fu Guangjun looked at the demon general with cold eyes. The demon general bowed and retreated: "I will arrange it."
After the demon general left, Fu Guangjun walked to the window and picked up the book that Li Youyang hadn't finished reading. A smile flashed between his eyebrows: "It's still the same as before. You like reading this kind of boring book. Youyang, I miss you."
…
This time, Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan chose to settle down in a relatively busy street market. They rented a shop and prepared to do some small business.
"Master, what kind of shop do you think we should open?"
Li Youyang thought for a moment and said, "How about selling spiritual artifacts and treasures? Pills would also be fine."
Bei Liyuan laughed: "Master, are you afraid that others won't be able to find us?"
Li Youyang was slightly stunned: "Yes, then we can't sell these. We can only sell things that ordinary people use, such as rouge and powder? Gold and silver jewelry?"
Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "Master understands these?"
Li Youyang shook his head: "I don't understand. I got it. Let's open a restaurant. Your cooking skills are good, and the business will definitely be booming."
Bei Liyuan frowned: "I only cook for Master."
Li Youyang was silent. He really couldn't think of anything.
Bei Liyuan said gently, "Let's open a bookstore. Master likes to read books every day. Even if no one buys them, we can still read them ourselves. We're not counting on this to make a fortune anyway. Besides, I noticed that there's only one Zhaoji Bookstore on the entire street."
Li Youyang nodded: "Just open a bookstore."
After making up their minds, the two chose a bookstore with reasonable prices to buy books. The bookstore opened the next day. They thought that without a lot of publicity, no one would come to the store, but it turned out that quite a few people came to buy books on the first day.
The two were a little surprised, so they asked a scholar who came to buy books. The man explained, "You two may not know, but the bookstores in our city have been monopolized by the Zhao family. Books are very expensive, so people usually buy whatever they want when they go out of town. Now that a new bookstore has finally opened, the prices are fair and the selection is comprehensive. Everyone should definitely buy some while it's still open."
Before leaving, the scholar kindly reminded him, "According to custom, your bookstore will catch fire within three days."
They were busy until 11:00 that day, when all the guests left and the two of them closed the shop to rest.
Bei Liyuan stretched lazily: "Master, if they set fire to our bookstore, we..."
"Set fire to all their bookstores."
Li Youyang said coldly.
Bei Liyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."
Master is becoming more and more like the high-spirited Lord Youyang.
The scholar was wrong. Less than three days later, the Zhao family sent people to set fire that night. As soon as the fire started, the Zhao family members ran away. After Bei Liyuan put out the fire with a formation, he moved his fingertips again and directly attracted the thunder from the sky.
On the second day, all of the Zhao family's bookstores were reduced to ashes by lightning. The losses were heavy, and Mr. Zhao fainted from anger on the spot.
Everyone in the city secretly applauded.
However, this did not damage the foundation of the Zhao family. The Zhao family rebuilt the bookstore immediately. However, it was struck by lightning as soon as the new books arrived. For this reason, Mr. Zhao invited a monk to help take a look.
The monk set up a protective formation and told Mr. Zhao not to worry, and Zhao's Bookstore was rebuilt again. However, the result was the same. The monk watched with his own eyes as his protective formation was struck by thunder, or it should be said that his insignificant formation was completely useless.
"I thought it was a petty thief, but I didn't expect it to be a master. It seems I have to ask my master to come over."
The monk sent out a talisman to ask for help, and soon a monk in white arrived. The monk told the monk in white the whole story. The monk in white moved his sword slightly, and was about to set up the formation when a bolt of lightning almost struck them both.
The monk in white robes looked gloomy and said, "This matter is beyond our control. Return the money."
The monk did as he was told. The monk in white looked at the old man of the Zhao family and said, "You have done too many evil things in the past and have offended the gods. If you want to live, leave the city quickly and do good deeds in the past. Otherwise, you will be destroyed."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, and the Zhao residence was instantly reduced to ashes.
Mr. Zhao hurriedly gave the order and the Zhao family left the city overnight.
Looking at the Zhao family's embarrassed escape, the two cultivators couldn't help laughing, and then they put away their illusions and transformed into Bei Liyuan and Li Youyang.
Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "This is much more interesting than opening a bookstore."
Li Youyang also smiled: "Who said it wasn't?"
As soon as the Zhao family left, many bookstores opened up one after another. Li Youyang and his team's business was definitely not as good as before, but the two of them were just killing time and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
When Bei Liyuan was busy, Li Youyang would read a book to pass the time, and his life was leisurely and comfortable.
That day, the bookstore closed two hours earlier than usual. Li Youyang was a little surprised: "Why is it so early today?"
Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "I want to rest early today."
"Eh? Why are you closed? Boss, I want to buy a book, and I haven't found it in the whole city. Can you let me in and look for it?"
Li Youyang: "What book?"
"Hundred Herbs Collection."
Li Youyang thought for a moment and said, "I remember he has it. Li Yuan, go back first and I'll look for it for him."
"Okay." Bei Liyuan handed the key to Li Youyang.
"Come with me."
The man followed Li Youyang back to the bookstore, but Li Youyang didn't find any books for him. Instead, he gave him a tael of silver and said, "Thank you."
The man took it and said, "Boss, next time you have such a good thing, don't forget me."
After saying that, he turned around happily.
Li Youyang rubbed his brows. "Today is Li Yuan's birthday. I wanted to find an excuse to go back early, but Li Yuan closed so early. I wanted to go back and cook birthday noodles in advance, but it seems that's not possible. I can't think of anything else at the moment."
"Wait a moment."
The man stopped and asked: "Boss, are you going to regret it?"
Li Youyang asked coldly, "Do you have any birthday traditions?"
The man breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't have to take the money back, it would be fine. He thought for a moment and said, "Nothing special. It's just eating longevity noodles or red eggs."
Li Youyang hummed.
The man continued, "Boss, you can also think about what the other person likes and give it to him as a birthday gift. It's a birthday, so make it as happy as you can."
Li Youyang hummed.
The man asked again: "Boss, if you have nothing else to say, I will leave first."
Li Youyang nodded.
After that person left, Li Youyang thought about it carefully and found that Bei Liyuan seemed to have no other hobbies except him. He couldn't tell Bei Liyuan that he was giving himself to him as a birthday gift.
Thinking of this, Li Youyang curled his lips. Maybe this was really the gift Li Yuan wanted most. Although he couldn't give it to himself, he could give it to him for the rest of his life!
After thinking about it, Li Youyang took out the space ring and rummaged through it, and took out a spiritual jade.
…
After Bei Liyuan returned home, he began to prepare food and make arrangements. He had originally arranged for someone to come and buy a book to delay Li Youyang when they left together. Now this person came at an even better time. When he heard the name of the book, he secretly hid the book. He estimated that they would take a while to look for it, so he had to act faster and had to finish it before Li Youyang arrived home.
After two hours of hard work, they finally finished it. Bei Liyuan checked it carefully again and said, "Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing."
After waiting for another half an hour, Li Youyang still hadn't returned. Bei Liyuan frowned, "Although the book was hidden in secret, it's been so long that he should have found it. Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Just when I was hesitating whether to go and look for him, Li Youyang came back.
Bei Liyuan hurried forward and said, "Master, happy birthday."
Li Youyang was stunned. He only remembered that today was Bei Liyuan's birthday, but he forgot that today was also his birthday.
When the two returned to their room, Bei Liyuan had already prepared a large table of dishes, all of which were Li Youyang's favorites. He also cooked two bowls of longevity noodles.
Li Youyang then realized why Beiliyuan closed down so early, and he felt warm in his heart. It was impossible for anyone to remain indifferent when someone cared about him so much.
Thinking about it, he casually handed over a brocade box: "Birthday gift."
Bei Liyuan was stunned for a moment and quickly took it.
Li Youyang added, "Let's see after dinner."
Bei Liyuan obediently put the gift aside. Li Youyang had just taken a bite when the noodles in Bei Liyuan's bowl were gone. "Master, I'm done. Can I open it and take a look?"
Li Youyang: ...
"Look, look."
I sighed silently in my heart, I should have let him see it first.
Bei Liyuan opened the brocade box, revealing a jade hairpin with his favorite pear blossom pattern. He carefully took it out and walked over to Li Youyang, "Master, pin my hair for me."
Li Youyang put down his bowl and chopsticks, gently pulled out the original hairpin, and then took a jade hairpin to pin up his black hair.
Bei Liyuan touched the jade hairpin, raised his eyes and asked softly, "Does it look good?"
Li Youyang nodded slightly: "It looks good."
Bei Liyuan pecked Li Youyang on the lips and said, "I will always keep you with me in the future."
Li Youyang's ears turned slightly red and he lowered his eyes.
Bei Liyuan felt his heart skip a beat. Such a shy master was really beautiful.
…
After dinner, Bei Liyuan took Li Youyang to the pear tree in the courtyard and said, "Master, please wait here for a moment. I will be back soon."
Li Youyang nodded. He thought Bei Liyuan had made some cakes again, or had gone back to get some wine. Today was a special day, so it wouldn't hurt to drink a little.
Just as he was thinking, there was a bang, and a firework burst from the sky, followed by four or five more fireworks. Then the fireworks continued to rise. Bei Liyuan came over from a distance with a brocade box in his hand: "It's a birthday gift, Master, do you like it?"
Li Youyang was slightly stunned as he looked at the handsome face illuminated by the fireworks.
After coming back to his senses, he took the brocade box, which contained a heart-shaped jade. Li Youyang carefully put it away. Bei Liyuan gently held Li Youyang's hand and interlocked their fingers: "May this day come to us every year, and may we be together until we are old."
Li Youyang's eyes softened as he said solemnly, "Holding your hand, I will never leave you for the rest of my life."
Under the gorgeous fireworks, Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang with burning eyes, and slowly moved closer to his face until their noses touched. Li Youyang closed his eyes, feeling a little nervous, a little shy, and a little expectant.
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and placed a kiss on Li Youyang's lips. It was lingering, tender, and after the kiss, Bei Liyuan picked up Li Youyang and returned to the room...
Fireworks burned outside the house all night, and the lovers inside the house also had a sleepless night.
When Li Youyang woke up the next day, Bei Liyuan was looking at him with a smug look on his face. Li Youyang couldn't help but blush when he thought back to last night.
Bei Liyuan lowered his head, and Li Youyang closed his eyes nervously. Bei Liyuan gently kissed Li Youyang's eyebrows and said softly: "You are so cute."
Li Youyang then realized that this person was teasing him. He immediately became annoyed and turned around.
Bei Liyuan hugged him from behind: "Are you angry?"
Li Youyang didn't want to talk.
Bei Liyuan curled his lips, lowered his head and gently kissed his neck. Li Youyang was startled: "What are you doing?"
Bei Liyuan used a little force to move the person back, looking at him passionately. Li Youyang was a little panicked and quickly looked away. Bei Liyuan felt as if his heart was scratched by a kitten. He couldn't help but kissed him, and took over without letting anyone refuse...
After a moment of lovemaking, Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang's somewhat gloomy face with satisfaction and said guiltily, "Master, you can take a nap for a while. I'll go get some water."
Li Youyang was completely exhausted, angry and tired. He didn't want to pay any attention to her at all and just turned his head away.
Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang's childish look and felt itchy in his heart. He couldn't help but peck Li Youyang on the lips again before getting up.
A moment later, the water was ready. Bei Liyuan walked to the bedside, leaned over to Li Youyang's ear, and asked softly, "Do you want me to carry you down to wash, or do you want to wash yourself?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "I'll wash it myself, you go out first."
Bei Liyuan hummed and turned to leave.
Li Youyang got out of bed and into the bathtub only after confirming that everyone had left. Worried that Bei Liyuan would come in and cause trouble, he cast a formation to seal the door. Only then did he close his eyes comfortably.
Then, the next second, water splashed and Bei Liyuan appeared from nowhere and jumped into the bathtub.
Li Youyang stared at Bei Liyuan blankly like a frightened little hamster.
Bei Liyuan explained softly, "I didn't go out. I worked so hard to get water, how could I be so foolish as to miss the opportunity to bathe with Master."
Li Youyang held his forehead, thinking he was careless.
"Um...what are you doing...um..."
Bei Liyuan kissed gently, but Li Youyang blushed and breathed more heavily.
After the kiss, Bei Liyuan said seductively, "Master, I want to..."
Li Youyang frowned and tried to push him away, but Bei Liyuan took advantage of the situation and grabbed Li Youyang's wrist, pleading aggrievedly, "Good Master, since birthdays only come once a year, I'll just give you a cup of tea. I promise, just a cup of tea. Please, Master."
Li Youyang finally relented: "Just a cup of tea."
Bei Liyuan nodded repeatedly and kissed her again...
However, half an hour passed and Bei Liyuan still showed no sign of stopping. Li Youyang was completely annoyed: "Bei Liyuan! Get out of here... Ugh"
Li Youyang's voice was swallowed directly. Only when he felt that Li Youyang no longer resisted did Bei Liyuan release his lips and kiss his nose and neck...
It was unknown how long it took before Bei Liyuan finally let the man go with satisfaction.
Li Youyang collapsed powerlessly in the bathtub and secretly swore that if he believed this man again in the future, he would be a dog!
After washing up, Li Youyang felt sore all over. He didn't dare to stay in bed or sit on a chair. He spent most of his time walking outside the yard.
Bei Liyuan secretly regretted it. Ever since he woke up, Li Youyang had been in a bad mood and he didn't dare to indulge himself too much. Every time he did it in moderation. Only this time he failed to restrain himself and really enjoyed himself. But seeing the master's expression, it was obvious that he was afraid of him. He should take it slow and boil the frog in warm water so that the frog would not run away. He had to find a way to remove the master's guard.
“Master…”
Before Bei Liyuan could finish his words, Li Youyang took two steps back and said coldly, "What's the matter? Stand there and talk."
Bei Liyuan: ...
"I want to ask, shall we go to the bookstore today?"
Li Youyang thought about it and decided that there would be outsiders present in the bookstore, and it was such a serious place, Bei Liyuan should not do anything rash, so he agreed immediately.
