Chapter 140: Reading

The camera Li Ming used was the instant type, so the two photos taken earlier were already printed. He took them and handed them to Jun Wu Xiao, saying:

"Here you go. Don’t you think I took them well?"

"Yeah, they’re good. Thanks." Jun Wu Xiao replied.

"Thanks." Gu Zhou Jian said, taking the two photos and putting them into her pocket.

Li Ming waved his hand and smiled:

"Ha ha, it’s no big deal. No need to be so formal."

After the two of them had eaten for a while, finally finishing, Li Ming took a bag containing several boxes and handed it to them, saying:

"Take these back with you. I think she’ll eat them, you probably don’t need them, right?"

"Yeah, let her eat them. I don’t need to eat anymore. But I must say, your ice cream-making skills have far surpassed those from years ago." Jun Wu Xiao said.

Of course, Li Ming knew this. He had lived a long time. If you asked who had the most experience in making ice cream on Earth, it would be him. He said:

"Of course, I’m the most experienced ice cream maker on Earth."

"Alright, we’re done eating. We should be leaving now. Keep working hard." Jun Wu Xiao said.

"Yeah, I should get back to secluded cultivation. Who knows when humanity will face enemies again? I’m no longer the same person I was years ago, but someone who carries a heavy responsibility."

The meeting was only extremely brief but it was enough, monks and ordinary people are fundamentally different. They also have hobbies, but responsibility is what is truly important and is also the only reason they are still alive now.

Perhaps someone might ask: If the responsibility is too heavy, why not let it go to live a more comfortable life?

It’s impossible to let it go because it’s this heavy responsibility that drives people to cultivate. Take yourself as an example: if you had to work hard and endure pain every day for no reason, why would you do it? Enjoying life, doing what you like would be more fun, right?

Cultivation is not enjoyable, nor is it a blessing. Without heavy responsibility, only someone extremely crazy yet extraordinarily clear-headed and determined could go far on this path.

The crazy here refers to daring to do the unimaginable, while clarity denotes completely normal intelligence and acting rationally rather than emotionally. A firm will is an essential factor because one has to endure self-inflicted pain every day, even if they don’t like it.

At this moment, Jun Wu Xiao carried Gu Zhou Jian and ran to her house, while Li Ming returned to the national park to continue his cultivation.

Several hours had passed, so the house had already been cleaned up. The speed wasn’t too fast considering she had spent a fortune hiring dozens of people to clean it. And although her house was large, it wasn’t a mansion, just a luxurious two-story home.

When the two of them opened the door and walked in, they saw the house was much cleaner than before. Jun Wu Xiao said:

"How could they clean so quickly?"

"I hired dozens of professional cleaners. It would be strange if it wasn’t fast. It cost a lot of money." Gu Zhou Jian said.

Jun Wu Xiao nodded, understanding that it would indeed be strange if dozens of professionals couldn’t clean quickly. He said:

"So, what do you plan to do now?"

"What else but cultivate? There’s no one to hinder me now, so I’ll devote all my time to cultivation. If there’s something interesting, I’ll invite you to join me." Gu Zhou Jian said.

He nodded but suddenly remembered Tang Hao. He said:

"What about Tang Hao? When and how does he plan to fight me?"

Gu Zhou Jian, familiar with Tang Hao’s working style, replied:

"Soon. He’ll find a way to get you to sign a commitment allowing the use of modern weapons in a death match. What do you plan to do?"

"I’ll tell him to wait two years." he responded.

She was taken aback for a moment but found the timeline familiar. Thinking for a moment, she realized what it was and said:

"Do you want to wait for me to break through so we can fight together? Even if I break through, it won’t be of much use in your battle."

Jun Wu Xiao clapped and said:

"Well done, understanding your own position. I want you to break through so your vision improves a bit, and your strength increases a bit, so you can observe the fight."

However, his tone was taunting rather than genuinely praising, making her snort:

"Hmph, just wait. Within three hundred years, there will be a time when I can defeat you."

"Good luck, I’m really looking forward to that day." Jun Wu Xiao laughed and replied.

As Gu Zhou Jian was heading to her room, she suddenly stopped and said:

"Stay in the living room, you are forbidden from stepping into my room."

"You think I need your bed? I don’t even need to sleep anymore, and lying on the floor here is much better than the conditions back at the Kunlun mountains." Jun Wu Xiao said.

He then went to read a book while she closed her door and started her cultivation.

Looking at a stack of books in front of him, Jun Wu Xiao was torn about which one to choose. After thinking for a while, he glanced at the books related to ’cultivation’. He said:

"Cultivation is more important, so I’ll prioritize these books first. I can read a bit about history, science, and weapons later."

He hadn’t read the contents yet, only looked at the covers, so he didn’t know what the books were about. He opened the first book on ’cultivation’ and after reading for a while, he frowned and cursed:

"Damn it, is this what they call cultivation? This is just an entertaining story about some unrealistic fantasy world."

But despite his cursing, he kept reading. Perhaps the information about cultivation methods in that book was completely unreasonable and useless to him, but maybe after seeing a bunch of nonsense, he could come up with something sensible.

After reading for a bit longer, he cursed out loud again:

"Damn it, read for a while and there’s a girl, read a bit more and there’s another girl. Do these people have the qualifications to say they are cultivators? Since when is cultivation this enjoyable? The life of this main character is clearly exceptionally exciting every day."
