Chapter 663: Are You a Carpenter?!

A month has passed.

Qin Jian...

has lived a life worse than death!

He never imagined that this Sea God Douluo, this gentle person who seemed like an older sister, would actually just sit down like that, and meditate for an entire month!

Moreover, there is still no sign of her waking up even now!

At first, Qin Jian was a bit curious and wanted to try what such an ethereal meditation felt like, but after three days, he was bored of it.

This sort of thing also depends on talent; when it comes down to it, his mind is too cluttered, and once he settles down to do nothing, all sorts of things fill his head, making it impossible to enter that state of ethereal thoughtlessness.

So he could only pretend to meditate, while actually chatting with his Na'er.

"Qin Jian... we've chatted for tens of thousands of years in the past... everything that could be said has been said..."

Na'er said faintly: "Now it's been another twenty-something days, what else do you want to say to me?"

"I don't know either..."

Qin Jian sighed in his mind: "How about we talk about love? Tell me about how much you like me."

Na'er was concise and to the point: "Get lost."

"Hurry up and do something, even tackling Poseixi would be fine, just don't come looking for me again, I've been tormented enough by you!" She resolved to shut herself away.

"Na'er! Na'er!"

Qin Jian called out a few times, but there was no response at all.

"Sigh..."

He opened his eyes, shook the layer of fine dust off his body, and glanced at Poseixi, who was a zhang away, only to see that she still maintained the same expression she had when she closed her eyes a month ago.

"Her world must be very simple..."

Qin Jian sighed softly.

How could anyone maintain an ethereal state of mind without any distracting thoughts forever?

Unless one is inherently very pure, or has seen through all the vanity of this human world and finally returned to tranquility.

"Swish!"

Qin Jian flashed and crouched in front of Poseixi, resting his chin on his hand to admire her beautiful face.

Logically speaking, even if Poseixi were in meditation, she wouldn't let anyone get this close, unless she hadn't set up any subconscious defenses against Qin Jian.

Qin Jian tilted his head and thought for a moment, then finally extended his An Lushan's claws...

But at this very moment, Poseixi suddenly opened her bright eyes.

At the same time, her right hand grabbed Qin Jian's hand, stopping it right by her rosy lips.

"What... are you doing?"

Poseixi looked at the finger that had already reached her lips in confusion.

"Ahem," Qin Jian retracted his finger and rubbed his nose: "I just wanted to wake you up."

Feeling his hand slip out of hers, Poseixi couldn't help but blink her eyes: "If you wanted me to wake up, you only had to call out once, why did you have to poke me?"

Qin Jian's gaze landed on her rosy lips: "Because your mouth looked very cute, and I subconsciously wanted to poke it."

"What you wanted to use to poke it definitely wasn't a finger." Na'er ended her self-imposed isolation.

Qin Jian: "..."

Feeling his burning gaze, Poseixi couldn't help but purse her lips, pulling them back slightly, and changed the subject: "Is there something the matter with waking me up?"

"Is there something the matter..."

Qin Jian was silent for a moment: "It's already been a month..."

"A month?" Poseixi was very bewildered: "Is it only such a short time?"

Qin Jian was very helpless: "It's already been a long time, okay?"

"You can't endure it anymore?"

Poseixi's long eyelashes fluttered, and she asked curiously: "I thought that since you've lived for so long, you would only enjoy meditation more than I do."

Qin Jian was silent for a moment before saying: "That's not it, it's already quite good that I could sit for a month, you have to know..."

He raised his eyes to meet Poseixi's gaze: "I might be the person in this world who dislikes lonely, bitter cultivation the most."

"Especially when there's a great beauty right next to me, yet I can only sit in meditation; it's simply maddening!" Qin Jian said with deep sorrow.

"Pfft..."

Poseixi couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, leaving Qin Jian stunned.

Unlike the polite smile from before, this time her smile came from the heart, radiating from within, like a spring breeze brushing against his face and touching his heart.

"Let's do something else, shall we?" Qin Jian muttered, staring at her smile.

Poseixi raised her hand to lightly cover her lips, her gaze sweeping over his flawless face: "What do you want to do?"

"I..."

Qin Jian suddenly pulled down the hand she was using to cover her mouth.

"You!"

Poseixi was slightly startled, but the next moment she realized Qin Jian wasn't doing anything out of line; he was just suddenly pulling her to her feet and walking toward the outside of the hall.

Fortunately, as a peak-level Spirit Master, even after not moving for a whole month, she didn't suffer from numb legs; she was as lively as ever the moment she stood up.

Poseixi followed closely as Qin Jian held her hand, pulling her all the way out of the Sea God Hall.

She looked at their joined hands from time to time, feeling very... wonderful.

The temperature and texture of another person's palm could really make one's heart race like this...

"Right here."

Qin Jian brought Poseixi to an isolated cliff on the other side, hundreds of meters away from the Sea God Hall, and let go of her hand.

Stop while you're ahead, quit while you're winning; the sense of propriety was grasped perfectly.

He pointed to the dense forest nearby and said, "Let's live here."

"Live here?"

Poseixi subconsciously touched the palm of the hand she had been holding with his, then asked in confusion, "There is nothing here; do you intend to meditate in the forest?"

"Is your life really that dull?"

Qin Jian clutched his forehead, speechless: "Can't you have a little zest for life?"

"Zest for life?"

Poseixi didn't know what she was thinking of, but she just smiled noncommittally: "Then tell me, how do you want to live?"

"First, I want to build a wooden house and courtyard here."

Qin Jian spread his arms wide at the edge of the cliff.

"What kind of wooden house and courtyard do you want?"

Poseixi looked at him with a smile: "Describe it in more detail."

And so, Qin Jian began to describe the seaside wooden house in his mind to her.

"Like this..."

After listening, Poseixi walked around the surrounding terrain, her hands reaching out from time to time, measuring the air as if she were evaluating it.

"What are you doing?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

"Move aside a little, wait a moment."

Poseixi gently pushed his back, making him stand behind her to clear the open space in front of her.

Then Qin Jian saw her slowly float up, hovering in mid-air.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Beams of soul power shot from her hands, flying far toward the forest on the other side of the Sea within the Sea.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

Hearing a dense series of cracking sounds, Qin Jian looked over and saw large trees, each as thick as a person could embrace, falling down one by one.

Occasionally, a few trees as thick as five or six people could embrace were also severed, falling with pitiful cracking sounds.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Those trees were dragged over by soul power, cut while still in mid-air, and quickly turned into logs, being polished and segmented right above the inner sea.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Before long, dozens of prepared logs landed on the open ground in front of them.

Seeing Poseixi continue to retrieve wood from the opposite shore, Qin Jian blurted out: "Are you a carpenter?!"
