The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 246. Perhaps this is life.

Xuan Ling suddenly stopped to speak, which puzzled Fang Zhou. This woman seemed poised to act, so why did she suddenly bring up such a meaningless topic?

As for whether he likes Yu Qing or not, Fang Zhou himself is unsure.

From a man’s perspective, who wouldn’t like a girl like Yu Qing? Fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs and a simple, kind-hearted nature, she’d undoubtedly make a virtuous wife.

Even by the standards of this world, she is undoubtedly a good woman.

However, Fang Zhou didn’t have a definite answer in his heart; he wasn’t sure if his feelings for Yu Qing were purely desire or genuine affection.

No matter how he felt inside, he absolutely couldn’t voice it. Who knew if Xuan Ling had some recording ability? He definitely couldn’t leave any evidence at such a time.

So Fang Zhou started a wave of sycophantic praise, after all, compliments are free, and offering more words isn’t costly.

"Haha, Yu Qing is such a pure and beautiful, generous, loved-by-all, helpful, justice-minded, fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged, busty, and curvy good girl. Which man wouldn’t like her?"

Upon hearing Fang Zhou’s shameless praise, Xuan Ling’s expression soured.

The ribbon tugged at her, slowly lifting her into the air, as she looked down at Fang Zhou and said, "I’ve seen through you; you’re just a selfish, fickle man. We’re not done yet, just wait."

Initially, Xuan Ling was indeed interested in Fang Zhou, but later her interest waned due to Yu Qing, and now it seemed more like a grudge.

After issuing her threat, she turned and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Crazy woman."

Fang Zhou cursed under his breath, then mounted the Xuanyuan Sword and took off, heading towards Taobao Mall.

Not long after he left, Yu Qing slowly emerged from behind a big tree, her cheeks flushed.

Earlier in Taobao Mall, she was pursuing an invisible robber and noticed Xuan Ling and Fang Zhou leaving the mall one after the other, so she followed them.

When she arrived here, she discovered Fang Zhou spanking Xuan Ling, almost frightening her to fall off her Spirit Sword.

Moved by impulse, Yu Qing didn’t intervene but instead found a place nearby to hide, secretly watching the entire scene.

Fang Zhou’s final ’heartfelt’ words were clearly heard by Yu Qing, making her both shy and delighted, even more reluctant to show herself.

Only after Fang Zhou and Xuan Ling left did Yu Qing dare to come out.

She slowly raised her head to look in the direction Fang Zhou had disappeared, but a trace of sadness flickered in her eyes.

Yu Qing is simple, but not foolish. At first, she didn’t understand Fang Zhou’s relationship with Han Li, but over time she figured it out.

Moreover, after parting with her, Fang Zhou immediately wore another expression, though she couldn’t say why, it was certainly something he didn’t want her to know.

At this moment, Yu Qing seemed to understand the kind of melancholy her protagonist Xu Qing wrote about.

Sigh, perhaps this is life.

...

Fang Zhou flew back directly to Taobao Mall.

This time he wasn’t interested in meeting Xiao Yan flirtatiously anymore, he returned directly to the inn and asked Elder Yan Fu to change his face back.

After changing into a new outfit, Fang Zhou found a safe place to enter the gourd.

Inside the gourd space, Fang Zhou finally felt the long-lost sense of security. The gourd children were all at Moon Viewing Peak, leaving him alone in the gourd space.

No more unexpected visits from Yu Qing or Xuan Ling.

Even though there were many surprises today, it was only through his brilliant maneuvers and adaptability that he’d barely managed to keep the situation under control.

The next step was only to solve the problem with Han Li, then everything would be a great success.

After absorbing Han Li, she’d been in a comatose state, and Fang Zhou quickly found her inside the gourd.

Seeing the unconscious Han Li, some wicked thoughts inevitably arose in Fang Zhou’s heart.

At this moment, whatever he did to her, she wouldn’t know, making it flawless for cleaning up afterward.

Of course, these thoughts were fleeting; Fang Zhou wouldn’t stoop so low. He promptly called Han Li awake.

Han Li slowly opened her eyes, and upon seeing her surroundings, she immediately showed a shocked expression, "Where is this?"

In her perception, she had been among the bustling crowds in Taobao Mall one moment, and suddenly found herself in such a magical place the next.

During the time she was unconscious, she felt nothing.

Fang Zhou smiled and explained the situation of the gourd space to Han Li, but he omitted the part about differing time flows inside and outside.

Han Li knew about the gourd treasures; back when she was at Lanruo Temple she had encountered them, but she hadn’t expected there to be such magnificence inside.

Moreover, upon hearing Fang Zhou say he had tamed the gourd children, Han Li was even more surprised. She hadn’t forgotten how terrifying those gourd children were and wondered how much effort Fang Zhou had spent to tame such formidable monsters.

Fang Zhou led Han Li around the gourd space, showing her the houses built by the gourd children and the Sword Lake Water he had absorbed.

Unfortunately, the two were only ambiguously involved; if they were closer, it would have been wonderful to take a bath together.

The space is actually quite dull; after a tour, there’s not much to see.

"By the way, are you planning to settle down in Cloud Sea Mountains this time?"

Fang Zhou asked Han Li. He remembered Han Li was traveling around to clear the Jiao Poison in her body, and with Xiao Yan obtaining the Soul-devouring Netherworld Fire, it should help her remove this hidden danger.

Han Li shook her head, "Maybe someday, but currently I have some important matters to handle."

She had already promised Xiao Yan that in three years’ time she would help settle scores with her unfaithful fiancé at the Xuanji Sect.

Han Li wouldn’t feel safe letting Xiao Yan alone in the Cultivation World and naturally planned to accompany her.

As for three years later, if she had the opportunity, she indeed wanted to settle in Cloud Sea Mountains.

Upon hearing Han Li was leaving, Fang Zhou shamelessly breathed a sigh of relief; if she really stayed, it would be quite troublesome.

Han Li fell silent for a moment and then suddenly, as if deciding something, softly asked Fang Zhou, "Actually... you don’t really like me, do you?"

Fang Zhou was slightly startled. Seeing Han Li’s earnest expression, he hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded, "Yes, to be honest, I’m a very selfish person; I only like myself."

After saying it, Fang Zhou felt relieved, as if shedding a heavy burden, no longer needing to hide anything.

Seeing Fang Zhou telling the truth, Han Li couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, but inside she also felt a sense of relief.

If Fang Zhou kept lying to her, she would be very disappointed.

Fang Zhou curiously asked, "How did you figure it out?"

He believed his cover was quite good, without any obvious flaws.

Han Li smiled slightly, "Just upon seeing you today, it felt as if you were wearing a mask, one that’s impenetrable."

Unlike Yu Qing, Xiao Yan, and those naive children, Han Li had wandered on the fringes from a young age, surviving the deceit and deception of the cultivation world by relying on herself.
