Free Web NovelChapter 614: Chapter 614: A Celestial Lifestyle
Xu Yi and Lu Ke rested at the camp until noon the next day. After having a very hearty lunch, they set off.
This time, they didn’t need to ride the Unicorn.
With Lightning, Xu Yi and Lu Ke could fly on it to the territory of the level 7 Fierce Beast.
Moreover, the speed would be much faster.
After Xu Yi and the others set off, Qin Fan and his team also began to advance.
Now they had enough mounts, and the speed was quite fast. Of course, compared to Xu Yi’s Lightning, the speed was relatively slower.
Lightning flying for a day would be enough for them to catch up in three or four days.
They had more than a dozen Fierce Beasts, so they could travel even at night.
Riding on the Fierce Beasts did not affect their cultivation.
On the second day after Xu Yi and Lu Ke set off, the Black Qilin had a breakthrough.
On the third day, White Feather had a breakthrough.
By now, all members of Xu Yi’s team and the Fierce Beasts had made breakthroughs.
Moreover, 13 people from the teams of Li Kang and Lei Jie also had breakthroughs to level 5 peak, entering the territory of level 6 Fierce Beasts and began to chase towards Qin Fan’s location.
Li Kang only brought two level 6 Fierce Beasts into the territory of level 6 Fierce Beasts, and Lei Jie had three level 6 Fierce Beasts because Lavinie also had a breakthrough.
These 13 people were considered highly gifted.
Unlike Qin Fan and the others, who had the help of Xu Yi, they relied entirely on their own efforts and talents.
If Xu Yi provided them with more resources, their growth speed might not be weaker than Qin Fan and the others.
As time passed day by day, Xu Yi grew more expectant.
Because the date for the yearly gift package was getting closer.
Tomorrow would mark 372 days of clocking in, which means it would complete a full year.
The first Advanced Gift Package, Xu Yi believed, could likely change many things.
Thus, Xu Yi instructed Lightning to land on the ground.
"Xu Yi, did you discover something?" Lu Ke asked as soon as he saw Lightning starting to land.
After all, it wasn’t dark yet. Usually, only at midnight Xu Yi would let Lightning stop to rest.
"No, we’ve been traveling for about ten days now, feeling a bit tired, need to rest." Xu Yi explained.
Below, there was a large river, its waters very clear.
Thus, Lightning landed by the water.
Being an Aquatic Winged Wolf, it naturally preferred being in the water.
This river was very wide, at least a hundred meters.
Such a broad river was the easiest to nurture civilization.
Xu Yi felt that this river should flow toward the sea.
"Go ahead." Xu Yi patted Lightning’s head and said with a smile.
Because Lightning immediately showed a desire to get into the water after landing. Yet without Xu Yi’s command, it could only gaze wistfully.
Upon hearing Xu Yi’s command, it excitedly jumped into the water.
Then, Xu Yi set up a tent by the edge.
Lu Ke watched Lightning by the water, and Xu Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Want to go swimming?"
"Sure." Lu Ke turned around with a smile, then happily headed toward the tent.
They had swimsuits, but Xu Yi directly instructed the camera ball to change direction to let those in the livestream room see only the sky.
Now, Number 6 was Xu Yi’s subordinate, helping Xu Yi with these things was no problem.
After changing into swimsuits, Xu Yi and Lu Ke jumped into the river.
The water temperature was around twenty degrees, very comfortable.
The river waters were quite deep; upon diving, Xu Yi found the depth exceeded fifteen meters. This depth was nothing to Xu Yi at all.
Lightning swam around in the water like a fish, both moving and hunting.
After playing in the water for over two hours, the two came ashore.
This large river indeed had many fish.
There were not only fish but also shrimp and crab.
Its appearance was somewhat different from those on Earth Star, but largely similar.
Thus, Xu Yi caught plenty of shrimp and crab.
Back on the riverbank, the two took turns changing clothes.
Then, they set up a grill by the riverbank.
Lu Ke took out marinated meat from the Star Chart and started grilling these shrimp and crabs together.
"Xu Yi and Lu Ke are real foodies; they don’t forget to stop for some barbecue even at a time like this."
"This crab is huge, is it really a freshwater crab? Its body is almost as big as a soccer ball, how many pounds is it?"
"It’s an alien crab, thank you."
"No wonder Xu Yi only caught two; it feels like with two more, they’d be full."
"This shrimp looks a bit scary, Xu Yi and Lu Ke are truly daring enough to eat it?"
"What’s not to eat? Its appearance is slightly different, but it might taste even better. See, once grilled, doesn’t it turn red?"
After grilling some shrimp and crabs, Xu Yi and Lu Ke began tasting them.
Lu Ke prepared two dipping sauces, one spicy and one not spicy.
"This shrimp shell is relatively easy to peel, although it might prick ordinary people." Lu Ke said while peeling.
With her current skin durability, such shrimp shell meant nothing to her.
Once peeled, the meat was red and white, similar to shrimp meat from Earth Star.
Without dipping it in any sauce, Lu Ke placed the meat into her mouth.
Upon biting into it, its juices spread inside her mouth.
Lu Ke thought this shrimp meat’s texture was better than any she had tasted before.
After peeling another one and dipping it in sauce, the flavor improved further.
"Delicious, this shrimp tastes amazing, I’ll catch a few hundred pounds and slowly enjoy it." Xu Yi was very pleased with the shrimp meat.
Ugly, yes, but incredibly delicious.
After trying the shrimp, Xu Yi tore off one of the crab’s small legs, about the size of his thumb.
Xu Yi directly used Spiritual Power to peel its shell; this shell wasn’t too hard, even softer than the shells of crabs on Earth.
Xu Yi tasted it, and his eyes widened slightly.
"Delicious, Lu Ke, this crab meat is superb, you have to try it." Xu Yi couldn’t help but say.
While Xu Yi was speaking, Lu Ke was already peeling. But instead of using Telekinesis, she used her hands directly. She felt that only using hands would give her the feeling of eating crab.
After peeling, Lu Ke put the meat into her mouth.
"Hmm, truly delicious."
Lu Ke could understand Xu Yi’s reaction; indeed, it was exceptionally delicious. She could say it was the tastiest crab she had ever eaten, surpassing any kind.
"So much crab roe, this crab is quite a surprise." Xu Yi found plenty of crab roe inside after peeling the shell, looking very appetizing.
The two enjoyed this premium delicacy, greatly satisfying their culinary cravings.
Finished eating, Xu Yi took out two recliners, and they lay under the night sky, enjoying the stars.
With Telekinesis and Spiritual Power present, even small bugs couldn’t approach. Besides, there weren’t any annoying bugs here.
A table sat between the two recliners, covered with peanuts and sunflower seeds, as they chatted and snacked, feeling utterly relaxed.
"Xu Yi and Lu Ke aren’t in a wilderness challenge, clearly on vacation, living too beautifully."
"I wish for a little girl to chat about dreams with me like this; what a godlike life!"
"I’m so envious; I also want to lie under the stars with someone I love!"
Xu Yi and Lu Ke lay until late at night, and then gradually fell asleep.
