Volume 4: Transformation into Mystery Chapter 546: Peaceful Life in Taoyuan Village
Li Xuanfeng used his cultivation to control his spiritual power to form a strong wind, which quickly cleaned up Taoyuan Village, allowing the Taoyuan Village, which had been washed away by the years, to return to its former appearance.
The only drawback was that there were only Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan in Taoyuan Village, and no other people.
After cleaning Taoyuan Village, Li Xuanfeng brought Shen Luoyan to the wooden house where he once lived with his parents, and arranged all the tables, chairs and furniture as he remembered.
Soon, the wooden house returned to its original state when Li Xuanfeng lived with his parents.
Seeing this extremely familiar scene, Li Xuanfeng looked at Shen Luoyan gently and said with a smile: "This is how I lived with my parents back then."
Shen Luoyan also smiled after hearing this, but a blush soon appeared on her face. She smiled and said, "It can also be the way we live in the future."
Shen Luoyan knew that Li Xuanfeng missed his parents very much. If he liked living here, she was willing to accompany him.
Hearing Shen Luoyan's words, Li Xuanfeng's expression suddenly became gentler, and he chuckled: "Haha, do you really want to marry me? You think about the future all day long."
Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan were in tune with each other. When he heard her words, he knew that she was willing to live here with him.
She had been in Xuanling Sect since birth. Not only had she started practicing since she was young, but she was also loved by her parents and several senior brothers. How could she have experienced a peaceful life in the mortal world?
It was precisely because of this that Li Xuanfeng did not expect that she would decide without hesitation and be willing to live with him in Taoyuan Village.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's chuckle, the blush on Shen Luoyan's face suddenly became more intense, but she still turned her head firmly to look at him, and said with a hint of complaint in her tone: "Of course, I have been waiting for you for many years."
During the years when Li Xuanfeng disappeared, Shen Luoyan seemed to have lost her soul. Every day she was either practicing or missing Li Xuanfeng, and she no longer cared about anything else.
It was this condition of hers that made Shen Hua and Han Yue extremely worried. They were not completely relieved until Li Xuanfeng returned.
They knew that Li Xuanfeng, whom their daughter had been waiting for, had returned, and they could recover quickly.
Hearing Shen Luoyan's words, Li Xuanfeng felt a lot of apologies in his heart, and said softly: "I'm back to marry you."
Li Xuanfeng's words instantly made Shen Luoyan smile again, and she nodded heavily and said, "Well, as long as you come back, all the waiting will be worth it!"
Afterwards, Li Xuanfeng took Shen Luoyan for a stroll in Taoyuan Village. With , he told her interesting stories from his childhood.
The two came to the river, and Li Xuanfeng looked at the river that was still flowing. "In the past, Sanniu and I often went to the river to swim, catch fish and shrimp in the river, and let my mother cook for us."
"My mother is a very good cook. She cooks the dishes I like every day."
"Once we saw a turtle in the river, Sanniu and Goudan jumped into the water to catch it, but Sanniu was bitten soon after. It was only when I thought of using the big gong in the ancestral hall that the turtle let go."
"That's how we made all the men in the village gather at the riverside, which made them a little angry."
There was a strong sense of nostalgia in Li Xuanfeng's tone, and a hint of a smile that he couldn't hide, as if he had returned to his happy childhood.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's tone, Shen Luoyan's little face was full of heartache. She knew that was Li Xuanfeng's happiest time and it was something he didn't want to lose.
If the Corpse Demon Cult monks had not suddenly broken into this place, perhaps Li Xuanfeng would have lived peacefully in Taoyuan Village until he grew old and died.
Thinking of this, Shen Luoyan tightly grasped Li Xuanfeng's big hand and said softly: "From now on, I will accompany you and cook for you."
Hearing Shen Luoyan's words, Li Xuanfeng turned around in surprise and asked, "Can you cook?"
Shen Luoyan is the beloved junior sister of Xuanling Sect. She is like a princess and has never had to do any housework. It is natural that she has never learned how to cook.
Seeing that Li Xuanfeng seemed to be unconvinced, Shen Luoyan glared at him and said, "Of course, I learned cooking from my mother. If you don't believe me, just catch a fish now and I can cook it for you quickly."
What Shen Luoyan didn't say was that a few years ago she saw that Li Xuanfeng seemed to like the dishes made by Han Yue very much, so she pestered Han Yue to teach her how to cook.
When Han Yue saw her appearance, he immediately understood what she was thinking. He smiled and taught her for a month or two without saying a word.
Thinking about how she had to pester her mother to teach her how to cook in order to please Li Xuanfeng, Shen Luoyan's little face suddenly blushed again, like a ripe apple.
Seeing Shen Luoyan so confident, Li Xuanfeng chuckled and said, "Okay, then I'd like to taste your cooking skills."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed into the river. Then a fat perch rushed out of the river and rushed towards Li Xuanfeng and the other man.
Although the bass struggled hard in the air, it was of no avail. It finally came in front of Li Xuanfeng and was bound by him through the air using his spiritual power.
Shen Luoyan used his spiritual power to catch the sea bass through the air, then controlled the spiritual power to transform it into an extremely sharp invisible blade, and instantly ripped open the sea bass.
Spiritual power is invisible. If you have not cultivated it, you cannot see it at all. If a mortal sees this scene at this moment, he will surely be stunned .
In their eyes, the sea bass seemed to have ripped open its intestines and removed its internal organs in the air and became a dish on its own.
When he saw how Shen Luoyan handled the sea bass, he knew that she had indeed learned cooking and her method of handling the sea bass seemed extremely skilled.
In no time, Shen Luoyan cleaned the perch, then took a dry branch from a distance, started a fire by the river and started roasting it.
Shen Luoyan chuckled and said, "There are no seasonings here, so I'll just make you a simple grilled fish first, and then I'll cook you some dishes later."
Li Xuanfeng watched Shen Luoyan prepare the grilled fish with a smile on his face the whole time. His mind was extremely peaceful and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Having Shen Luoyan by his side made him feel extremely at ease, as if he had temporarily forgotten all his worries and the only person in his heart was in front of him.
After a while, the plump sea bass turned golden and emitted a fresh fragrance that attracted Li Xuanfeng's sense of smell. It was already completely roasted.
Then Shen Luoyan divided the fish into two halves and handed one half to Li Xuanfeng, staring at Li Xuanfeng with anticipation, obviously wanting him to taste how it tasted.
Li Xuanfeng took it with a smile, took a small bite, chewed it slowly, and even closed his eyes slightly, as if he was savoring it carefully.
However, under Shen Luoyan's extremely expectant gaze, Li Xuanfeng still did not open his eyes after a while, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng's appearance, Shen Luoyan's little face suddenly showed a trace of anxiety, and she asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, how does it taste?"
Hearing Shen Luoyan's anxious question, Li Xuanfeng opened his eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I'm just kidding, it's delicious."
Shen Luoyan immediately realized that Li Xuanfeng was deliberately making her anxious. She glared at him fiercely and started eating the grilled fish.
Seeing that his senior sister seemed angry, Li Xuanfeng immediately apologized in a low voice: "It's all my fault. The grilled fish my senior sister made was so delicious, and I deliberately teased her."
This is not flattery. The grilled fish made by Shen Luoyan is extremely delicious. Although no seasoning is added, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma that makes people's appetite whet.
When he tasted the grilled fish, Li Xuanfeng immediately realized that Shen Luoyan must have worked very hard to hone his cooking skills to such a level.
Although monks have more magical powers than mortals, the same is true when it comes to cooking. It is not possible to make delicious dishes just by having a high level of cultivation.
Cooking is a profound art. You need to know how to control the heat, be skilled in adding seasonings, and be proficient in matching ingredients.
Knowing how to cook is relatively simple, but knowing how to make many delicious dishes is not an easy task.
Li Xuanfeng is in this state now. When it comes to cooking, he can be considered quite good, but when it comes to making delicious dishes, he is a little stretched.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng's apologetic apology, Shen Luoyan burst out laughing: "I was just teasing you. I don't get angry that easily."
Hearing Shen Luoyan's words, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laughter of the two people suddenly echoed in Taoyuan Village, and the coldness of the place seemed to be instantly driven away.
The next day, Li Xuanfeng took Shen Luoyan to climb a nearby mountain and overlooked Taoyuan Village and the surrounding scenery.
As the two men went up the mountain, the wild animals on the mountain were instantly frightened, the rabbits and deer ran away, and the birds immediately flew away in panic.
Although Taoyuan Village was no longer populated after the massacre by the Corpse Demon Cult, the wild animals in the mountains were not hunted and became more abundant.
Li Xuanfeng turned around and smiled at Shen Luoyan, "Back then, my three friends and I often went up the mountain to catch wild animals just to satisfy our cravings."
"Haha, we are all extremely delicious. We ate all the wild animals near the village more than once."
Hearing Li Xuanfeng recalling his childhood scenes, Shen Luoyan listened quietly, asking a question out of curiosity from time to time, which made more memories emerge in Li Xuanfeng's mind.
When going down the mountain, Li Xuanfeng brought a wild rabbit with him.
This time Li Xuanfeng did it himself. He cleaned the rabbit and then started to make a fire and roast it.
Soon the two of them were feasting again. Li Xuanfeng's experience of eating wild animals when he was a child made him extremely skilled in making barbecue, and the taste of his barbecue was comparable to Shen Luoyan's.
Time passed quickly, and before the blink of an eye, the two of them had lived peacefully in Taoyuan Village for three days.
Three days later, Li Xuanfeng suddenly smiled at Shen Luoyan and said, "Let's go back to Xuanling Sect."
Hearing his words, Shen Luoyan was slightly stunned. She immediately thought that he was afraid that she would not get used to the life here, so she immediately said, "Don't worry, I can live here with you forever."
Li Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled, and said softly: "There will be plenty of opportunities to live a peaceful life together in the future, but we still have very important things to do, so it's time to return to the sect."
