Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!

As for worries, those are things to consider after playing, when you return home in the dark of night."

Gu Qingyi smiled: "Isn't that just deceiving oneself?"

"Deception or comfort, whichever. Life in this world, if you don't learn a few ways to make yourself happy, you'll live very wearily." Chen Yan shook his head.

Gu Qingyi pondered Chen Yan's words carefully.

"But this method doesn't work with the old lady. Because every time I played wildly and didn't do my homework as a child, the old lady would chase me around the yard with a stick."

Gu Qingyi chuckled: "Even Lord Venerable had such amusing times?"

Chen Yan collected himself, and said seriously: "When you go back this time, will you be able to see the old lady in the Domain Realm?"

"Logically speaking, no. A Venerable's status is extremely noble, and in the Domain Realm, every Venerable is a being on the clouds.

Either in the tribes they govern, or residing atop the Immortal Platform, they are not someone ordinary people could meet.

However... if I ask the Gu Family Ancestor, maybe something can be arranged."

"No need to force it." Chen Yan smiled: "If you can meet her, great. If not, don't push it. After all, there's no urgent matter."

"Understood, do you have a message for Lord Venerable?"

"Hmm."

"Alright, go ahead. I'll try my best to convey it."

Chen Yan suddenly felt at a loss.

Message...

What should I say to the old lady?

Grandmother, I miss you very much?

Grandmother, I have so many questions?

Grandmother, such a big matter, why did you never tell me?

For a moment, Chen Yan's mind was in turmoil, but after a while, he let out a light sigh. All the intricate thoughts dissipated in that sigh.

"If you can see the old lady, please tell her that I'm doing well in this world."

Around three in the afternoon, the car arrived in Rizhao.

This coastal city was once unknown, but with the development of tourism in recent years, it had a brief period of popularity utilizing its beach resources.

Chen Yan had never been to Rizhao, so he asked some locals along the way while driving, and eventually found a beach by following his intuition.

By the time they arrived at the beach, it was already past four in the afternoon.

The wind picked up a bit between the heaven and earth, not strong, but the sea seemed unsettled, with slight waves visible.

The car parked by the roadside, as soon as Chen Yan got out, he saw Gu Qingyi already jumping out of the passenger seat.

After glancing at the beach and the sea, the girl suddenly shouted in excitement.

Before Chen Yan could react, she was already sprinting towards the sea.

As she ran on the sand, Gu Qingyi kicked off her shoes, leaving them behind.

When she reached the shore, she rolled up her pants and walked into the water.

Chen Yan stood at the roadside, watching the ecstatic Gu Qingyi, feeling something indescribable.

It was as if... a trace of pity?

He slowly walked towards the beach, picking up Gu Qingyi's discarded shoes along the way, and holding them as he made his way to the shore.

Gu Qingyi stood there, allowing the waves to wash over her feet and calves.

The sea breeze carried a salty, moist scent, feeling slightly itchy as it brushed against the face.

Chen Yan stood on the dry sand, watching Gu Qingyi frolic in the water; sometimes jumping, and even doing a somersault.

Hmm...

This twenty-one-year-old Consort Mother, still has a childlike heart within her.

Chen Yan found a spot to sit, quietly watching Gu Qingyi play in the water.

As the sun set, Gu Qingyi seemed to finally get her fill, slowly walking towards Chen Yan before sitting on the sand beside him.

"Your pants are wet." Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi's calves.

This woman's calves were indeed beautiful; the fair, straight calves with just the right curve. Her feet were pink and every toe was delicate and clean...

Chen Yan realized it was inappropriate to stare, especially given their current relationship, so he diverted his gaze, feigning nonchalance as he looked at the sea—the sun was setting on the horizon.

"What does the sea look like in the Domain Realm?"

"The sea is black and very cold." Gu Qingyi shook her head: "The water is filled with Qi of Yin Sha, and the waves are strong. In short, it's not pleasant at all."

She also looked at the sea and said in a low voice: "In the Endless Sea, there are spirit monsters, and those creatures, living in the sea, are constantly affected by the Qi of Yin Sha, turning them into bloodthirsty lunatics. If anyone dares enter the sea, they would be attacked by those frenzied spirit monsters.

Moreover, those things know no fear. As long as someone enters the sea, countless spirit monsters will attack. No matter how many you kill, it won't scare them off.

And if any blood is left behind, they will become even more frenzied."

Chen Yan frowned.

He sensed the suppressed tone in Gu Qingyi's voice and smiled: "Actually, the sea in the Dragon Country, the southern part, is more fun.

In the south, where the climate is hotter, the temperature is better, warm all year round.
