Little brother’s cooking skills are quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi shook her head: “No need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then that’s truly a pity, you’re missing out on the joy of delicious food, that’s one less pleasure in life.” Li Qingcheng laughed, her expression shifting from shock to sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi, seeing Li Qingcheng looking at her with ‘sympathy,’ couldn’t help but frown and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing, just feeling that you are, well, quite pitiable,” Li Qingcheng spread her hands and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not needing to eat, isn’t that great? What’s pitiable about that?” Li Nanzhi didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingcheng laughingly said, “Anyway, I think that if life lacks the joy of delicious food, it definitely loses a big part of happiness. Living should first and foremost be about happiness, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi fell silent for a while, then suddenly walked up to the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She too served herself a bowl of pig’s foot noodle and then began to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first bite was a bit uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because it had been a long time since she’d eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a few bites, she found the taste really good and couldn’t help but enjoy it heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Li Qingcheng was suddenly very curious about Li Nanzhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, younger sister, I suddenly have a very curious question to ask you…” Before Li Qingcheng could finish, Li Nanzhi interrupted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You might as well call me Li Nanzhi. I do not agree to be your so-called younger sister,” Li Nanzhi hmphed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, younger sister Nanzhi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi was annoyed and glared at her, “If you have a question, just ask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, I’m just really curious. If you don’t eat, then do you… pooh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Li Qingcheng asked this question, Li Nanzhi gave her a flushed and embarrassed response,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roll!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…” Li Qingcheng laughed hysterically, “Seriously, I’m really curious about this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi didn’t want to deal with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman, she’s even more of a monster than Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a waste of the Hundred Flowers Constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did it have to end up with such a woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal was finished, these two women weren’t as combative as they had been at the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after eating, Li Nanzhi went back to sitting on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Lin Dong notice, she seemed to be watching TV, but in fact, she was quietly cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong also noticed she always carried a Buddhist scripture with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And would often study the scripture diligently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that she didn’t seem to want to leave tonight, Lin Dong couldn’t help but lean closer to Li Qingcheng and whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Qingcheng, I don’t think she wants to leave tonight. It looks like we’ll have to behave ourselves this evening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t care,” Li Qingcheng twisted his waist, “You promised me a sleepless night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong felt awkward and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentleman’s word is his bond, he couldn’t break his promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to steel himself and walk over to Li Nanzhi, then reminded her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Li Nanzhi, how about you go somewhere else tonight? I’ll get you a presidential suite, how’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi asked in confusion, “Why should I go anywhere else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not good for you to always sleep on the sofa, right?” While Lin Dong said this, he secretly thought to himself that tonight he wanted to spend a two-person world with Qingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi shook her head, “It’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough cough…” Lin Dong had to make himself clear, “What I mean is, Li Nanzhi, you’re interrupting my two-person world with Sister Qingcheng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does that have to do with me?” Li Nanzhi turned away, ignoring Lin Dong, and settled down on the sofa to continue her cultivation in meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she left a remark for Li Qingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Qingcheng, just do whatever you want to do with him. What, do you dare not to because I’m here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingcheng rolled her eyes, “Am I supposed to be afraid of you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she pulled Lin Dong into the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong hastily said, “This… this isn’t right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you just lie down, I’ll handle the rest,” Li Qingcheng said dominantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong and Li Qingcheng got out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingcheng thought Li Nanzhi might have sneaked away during the night because she hadn’t heard a single sound from her while she and Lin Dong were in the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, how could a person be silent in that kind of situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Li Qingcheng assumed that Li Nanzhi wouldn’t be able to handle the awkwardness and would have left stealthily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she came out next morning with her hair in a mess, she found Li Nanzhi still sitting on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingcheng was stunned and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way, you didn’t leave last night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi shook her head, “Didn’t leave, you were so noisy last night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingcheng: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pursed her lips and said, “You’re really something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you just stayed on the sofa all night, without sleeping?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi nodded, “I don’t need to sleep. I just need to meditate for a few hours every day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingcheng asked again, “Suddenly I feel so sorry for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry for me?” Li Nanzhi was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingcheng said solemnly, “I think, as a human, life is the most important thing. If a person doesn’t even have the most basic life experiences, doesn’t eat, doesn’t sleep, then what joy is there in living?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But like this, I can cultivate into a Buddha,” Li Nanzhi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…” Li Qingcheng laughed hysterically, “Such a Buddha, I don’t want at all, nor do I envy in the slightest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think, being human suits me better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she didn’t pay her any more attention and went to wash up in the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Nanzhi watched Li Qingcheng’s departing back, her expression changing continuously as if she was struck by some realization.\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-06T01:28:25.748Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f756695cda105ad2a3aeac5d590a338839991703433c189aefa911d743f3cc0","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-1018","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-1016",2938,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-cover.jpg"]
