Chapter 81: Chapter 72: Passing through the Sky, Meet Jin Li (Subscribe!)_3

"The mortal world?" Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up at these words, "I can meet Jin Li face to face!"

"But do I only have a month before I have to go to Di Jue to fight the boss?"

"Never mind, the first step is to meet!"

With this thought, Qi Yuan hurriedly informed Jin Li about the situation.

"Jin Li, I’ve fully cleared Tian Jue. I can leave Di Jue now. I will have a month to spend in the mortal world!"

"Let’s go, we should meet in Gu Qi Chun Mu!"

"By the way, you left Nanqian some time ago and headed to Gu Qi Chun Mu, have you arrived yet?"

At this moment, in a small town under the Gu Qi Chun Mu tree, Jin Li was sitting by a lake.

Not far away, some children were playing and making a fuss, one kid was playing in the water until he was yanked out by his mom and spanked twice on his butt. Judging by the force, it was definitely his real mom.

A bird flew down from the Gu Qi Chun Mu, dive-bombed into the water, and seemed to have caught a small fish.

By the lake, there were many young men and women having romantic rendezvous.

"Are you coming to see me?" Jin Li’s heart tightened.

"Yes, I have a month’s time. Where shall we meet? Give me the coordinates."

"I’m in Qiyue Town, in the Moon Emperor’s country under the Gu Qi Chun Mu tree, it’s easy to find. After leaving Tian Jue, just head southeast and you’ll get here. I’ll wait for you by the Half Moon Lake." Jin Li trembled slightly, unable to hide her excitement.

"Alright, I’ve got it," Qi Yuan responded, then asked, "What’s it like outside? Is everything expensive? Does the food taste good? Is the scenery beautiful?"

"The scenery here is beautiful. Gu Qi Chun Mu is incredibly huge.

It is the sacred tree of the Wangyue Continent. The Moon Emperor’s Kingdom is right next to it, there’s no warfare here like in Nanqian, and everyone lives in peace.

There are many delicious foods. I tasted a crispy sweet duck today. It was delicious.

I’m trying to learn to cook it, so when you get here, I’ll cook for you!"

"Alright, I hope it isn’t too disgusting. Otherwise, how awkward would it be for me to have to pretend it tastes good and eat all of it."

"..."

"Oh my, this is the first time I’m meeting a web friend face to face. To be honest, I’m quite excited."

"So am I."

"What do you look like? Oh, sorry if that’s a bit forward."

"I suppose... I’m okay?"

"No worries, I’m very handsome, I won’t judge you.

I’ve asked you so many questions, don’t you want to ask me some?

Like how tall I am, what’s my annual income, if I have a car, if I own a house, how much my betrothal gift is..."

"..."

"Oh dear, this feels too much like a blind date.

On the internet, it should be CPDD, right?"

"What’s that?"

"It means looking for a partner. Anyway, I’ve used up a lot of energy today, I need to log off and rest a bit. I’ll probably leave Tian Jue tomorrow.

See you tomorrow if I don’t get lost. If I do, then see you in three or seven days!"

Having said that, Qi Yuan logged off.

Jin Li sat in her white dress by the lake, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, is that great man coming to see you?" Aunt Qin appeared by Jin Li’s side.

Jin Li smiled at her words and replied: "Yes, and Aunt Qin, from now on, please call me Li. I’m no longer the queen of Nanqian, and I’m not suited to be a queen."

Aunt Qin, who knew Jin Li well, smiled: "You seem distracted. Is there something on your mind?"

"No...not..."

Aunt Qin continued: "Your Majesty, you are stunning and well worth anyone’s attention."

Jin Li fell silent, not responding.

"That esteemed guest lent you his powerful Yi Bu army, which goes to show he cares for you, Your Majesty. You needn’t worry. With such distractions, you’ll be frail before even meeting him."

At Aunt Qin’s words, Jin Li stood up: "Alright, Aunt Qin, let’s go back."

Both of them left the lakeside and walked back to the house they had bought.

At this point, a group of children wearing masks walked past Jin Li.

The masks varied greatly, and as the children with their masks and rods hummed a folk song, they followed a private tutor towards a certain destination.

"Aunt Qin, why are they wearing masks?" Jin Li was curious.

"Apparently, they’re going to worship some god’s idol." Aunt Qin knew a bit about it, but not much.

"Which god? Why do they have to wear masks?"

"Apparently, that god also wears a mask."

"Why are they all carrying rods?"

"Not known."

"What does that god govern?"

"It’s not a matchmaker god or anything. But in three days, there will be a temple fair in this town. If that esteemed man arrives by then, you two can watch it together.

There are many statues of different gods in this town, and a lot of incense-burning temples.

The one with the mask doesn’t have many worshipers, only the private tutor really believes in it."

"Hmm, a temple fair? Interesting. We can go see it."

...

The next day.

In Tian Jue.

Qi Yuan stretched lazily.

He stood by the lake and gazed at his reflection in the water.

"Still as handsome as ever."

He rose to his feet, thinking about something.

"When meeting face to face, should I bring a gift? It would be impolite not to."

"Oh dear, I don’t have anything."

He stood by the lakeside in Tian Jue, pondering for a while.

His body disappeared, and he ran all over Tian Jue.

Not long after, a wooden hairpin appeared in Qi Yuan’s hand.

The hairpin was rather ordinary but made from many precious plants.

"A handmade wooden hairpin, should be fine, right?"

"I hope I don’t end up being mocked on the internet for being cheap."

"Jin Li isn’t like that, it’ll be fine."

He pondered for a bit.

And sent Jin Li a message.

"I’m bringing you a meeting gift—a wooden hairpin. It’s handmade, hope you don’t find it cheap."

Having said that, he left Tian Jue and started travelling.

Dozens of breaths later, Qi Yuan finally exited Tian Jue.

"Desert?"

He looked up at the sky.

Ancient verses emerged in his mind.

A lone smoke rises straight from the vast desert, the setting sun dips low over the long river.

Gazing ahead, he saw a golden desert.

"Huh? Where did my game interface go?"

Qi Yuan was startled.

When he stepped out of Tian Jue, his game interface was gone.
