The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 876: Feeling Offended

Although Li Qing hadn’t planned on living in this place, Zi Ling’s suggestion made him feel much better about it.

He really felt troubled after pouring so much into setting up the camping base all at once.

But if it were for everyone’s cultivation in the future, then this thing was really cost-effective.

Moreover, it seemed he could choose this place for his secluded cultivation.

The concentration of Spiritual Energy here hadn’t reached two to three times that of the outside world yet, but it was already much denser than outside.

With the stone bed and Elixirs to aid in cultivation, Li Qing actually had some confidence in reaching Foundation Establishment within a month.

He was about to Breakthrough now, and what he truly needed to challenge next were just three Minor Realms.

"Your master seems to have found out about us?" Li Qing said with a rich, mischievous smile as he put away the Array Plate, looking at Zi Ling.

Zi Ling pouted and said, "I haven’t said anything anyway, but I feel like he already knows."

"It seems like your master isn’t very opposed to it," Li Qing said. "I was almost scared to death when he mentioned it just now."

"How come I didn’t notice you being nervous at all?" Zi Ling asked with her crescent-like eyes twinkling and a giggling smile.

"Your master had just started talking about it and then said he wouldn’t intervene, so naturally, my nervousness was brief," Li Qing laughed. "Someone was quite gleeful just now. Shall we find a spot to have a chat about life?"

"If you can find a place now, then I’ll go along with you!" Zi Ling said with a sly smile.

Li Qing’s gaze scorched as he looked at Zi Ling and said with a wicked smile, "I think you’re not afraid of the cold, right?"

Zi Ling immediately became nervous. "What are you planning to do? Ah, you can’t do this; even if I’m not afraid of the cold, I’m scared of being stumbled upon. I won’t do it; I want to sleep in a bed."

"Then I’ll go get you a mattress, and we’ll have the sky as our cover and the mattress as our bed?" Li Qing said with a teasing grin, wrapping his arms around Zi Ling’s slender waist.

During the time they had been apart, she seemed to have grown even thinner, but her strength also seemed to have increased.

Li Qing couldn’t directly ascertain how much stronger, but he felt that Zi Ling must be close to Foundation Establishment.

Zi Ling’s eyes were filled with a touch of shy coyness as she shook her head with some reluctance, "I don’t care, I won’t do it if you ask me to go wild!"

"It’s a different experience in the wild," Li Qing encouraged with a laugh. "Letting loose in nature is quite interesting."

It had been a while since he had seen Zi Ling, and he had genuinely missed that little fountain.

This pure Spirit had a completely different vibe when playing around, unlike others. Her constitution, though not the same as his sister-in-law’s, was also extremely unique.

She was the kind of woman whose flavor one couldn’t forget after having a taste just once.

The only downside was that he’d need to stock up on tissues; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t be able to clean up properly.

"Let’s go," Li Qing said with a big laugh, picking up Zi Ling.

Zi Ling was startled and hurriedly patted Li Qing’s hand, "Put me down first; there are people ahead."

Indeed, there were a few people ahead, looking like several couples camping on the nearby slope. There were tents set up with various types of equipment, including motorbikes.

Among the recent visitors to the village, they were a uniquely self-sufficient lot.

The most they did was to go to the convenience store to buy some drinks and snacks.

Li Qing and Zi Ling bypassed these people, casually strolling into the woods.

He had walked this road a lot when he was gathering Wenguan Leaves half a year ago, and by now, he could nearly navigate it with his eyes closed.

They found a relatively secluded spot and dove into the woods.

But just as they entered, they froze in place.

It seemed they’d disrupted someone else’s good time.

In a clearing surrounded by dense shrubbery, several tents were erected, forming a circle with space left open in the middle where a camping blanket lay, flanked by a portable stove.

At that moment, on the camping blanket, several couples were lying in a disorderly fashion, engaging in passionate activity—all shirtless.

The key point was that they were all middle-aged, not young people.

Li Qing and Zi Ling’s arrival brought everyone to a stunned halt.

After a moment of staring at each other, Li Qing, with a deep voice, said, "You shouldn’t make a fire in the woods, you are all adults, show some common sense and be more aware."

With that, Li Qing pulled Zi Ling and made their way out.

Such a scene was too harsh on the eyes, and it was better for someone pure-hearted like Zi Ling not to see it.

"Qingzi, what... What’s with them?" Zi Ling asked softly, gently patting her rosy cheeks.

"Probably a group of people with special hobbies," Li Qing replied.

He had seen this theme on the screen before but never expected to witness it in reality here today.

Indeed, the forest is so big that it contains all kinds of birds; when there are more visitors, you see all sorts of things.

"What kind of special hobby is that? Allowing others to watch, or taking turns swapping?" Zi Ling inquired, puzzled.

"Swapping," Li Qing said. "Exchanging their wives with someone else’s, probably something like that."

"Ah? Can people really do that sort of thing? What an outrageous hobby." Zi Ling’s shock was evident in her wide eyes, disbelief written all over her face. "And they are all so old. I glanced briefly and it seemed they were all around their forties or fifties, and those women... they were all drooping. What’s the need to swap? Aren’t they all similar?"

"People like that, you know, normals would certainly find it hard to understand," Li Qing said.

He didn’t understand it either. If they had the energy, they could simply spend money for someone younger.

Was it just for the sake of not needing an ’umbrella’?

There must be something more stimulating for them, not just that.

They had just returned to the mountain path when suddenly a middle-aged man, sweating profusely, ran out of the forest, "Brother, brother, wait a moment."

Li Qing, hearing the voice, stopped and looked at the man with some confusion.

This man was likely one of the couples from before.

Could it be that their good time was interrupted, and now they were looking for trouble?

The middle-aged man reached them, quickly glanced at the graceful Zi Ling, and whispered to Li Qing, "Brother, can I talk to you in private?"

"Just say it here, what’s there to talk in private about? What’s the matter?" Li Qing asked.

The middle-aged man, already showing a significant bald patch, glanced at Zi Ling again before saying, "Brother, are you interested in joining us for some fun?"

"What do you mean?" Li Qing’s expression instantly turned cold.

"Just what you saw just now, everyone having a good time, all safety measures in place," the middle-aged man smiled. "Everyone else is doing it willingly, but if you join, we can pay you, give you ten thousand yuan, how about it?"

"Go to hell, I’ve just incurred a debt of three million in favors, do you think ten thousand is a lot? Get lost!" Li Qing swore angrily. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He felt offended.
