Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

...

While hiking, Yang Sheng took some photos and posted them on QQ space.

She was quite popular, and people like Bai Yuxia, Chen Siyu, Dong Qingfeng, and others all liked Yang Sheng's post. Some even commented below it.

Lu Qiqi said in the group chat: "Finally get a day off, why go hiking?"

She secretly thought to herself, if she were like Yang Sheng, winning a marathon prize, she would have already left for a trip.

Pang Jiao: "What else is hiking good for? Of course, it's for losing weight."

Dong Qingfeng: "She doesn't need to lose weight at all."

Pang Jiao ignored Dong Qingfeng and commented in the group: "I suggest everyone not use hiking to lose weight. Hiking doesn't help lose weight at all. I went hiking for two days in a row last time, and not only did I not lose weight, my legs got thicker."

Duan Shigang: "Hahaha, isn't it because your legs were thick to begin with?"

The verbal sparring continued for five minutes.

Lu Qiqi loved giving advice and shared in the group: "I think if you want to lose weight, first you must determine your purpose, then stick to this idea and execute it strictly. After all, willpower is the most important thing in losing weight."

Pang Jiao: "Aiya, my purpose for losing weight is to find a handsome boyfriend. Being with a handsome guy, I'd be happy even just drinking plain water with him."

Cui Yu: "Please, can you consider the feelings of the handsome guys? They don't enjoy drinking plain water!"

Pang Jiao @ Chai Wei: "Do you like drinking plain water?"

Chai Wei previously had an argument with Dong Qingfeng and Ma Shicheng and quit the class group in anger. Later, with some mental persuasion from class monitor Xin Youling, he rejoined the group.

Chai Wei: "I'm not a handsome guy."

Pang Jiao: "I'm asking if you're happy?"

Chai Wei, intimidated, said insincerely: "Quite happy."

Cui Yu unrestrainedly mocked: "Hahaha, you like handsome guys, but do they find you attractive?"

This remark was like a sharp bayonet, cutting and hurtful.

Meng Gui: "Nicely done!"

Liu Chuandao, still in his cage, didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he sent an emote to support.

Chai Wei, sensing that Pang Jiao might use him as a shield, prepared to counterattack to take control and said:

"Hahaha, not all handsome guys only look at appearances."

After saying it, Chai Wei realized he might have made a mistake but couldn't immediately figure out what went wrong.

Cui Yu seized the opportunity and hit the nail on the head: "Ah Wei, are you saying my Sister Jiaojiao's appearance isn't up to par?"

Chai Wei's palms were sweating, and for a moment he wanted to quit the group again.

He cursed internally, feeling unjust: 'Damn it, isn't the class group a place for chatting and bragging? When did it become so dangerous?'

It was just like in those spy movies, say the wrong thing and it turns into a huge mistake, falling into an abyss with no escape.

Truly terrifying!

At this moment, Duan Shigang: "Watch your words! My Sister Jiaojiao can really hold her own!"

He was implying two things at once.

Chai Wei caught his meaning and quickly followed up: "Jiaojiao's looks are really top-notch."

Wang Yanyan seized the opportunity to cheer up her good friend: "Aiya, Jiaojiao, see, I said everyone appreciates your looks."

Xin Youling changed the subject, @Yang Sheng: "Did you go hiking alone?"

Yang Sheng: "And Jiang Ning and Tang Fu."

Chai Wei, who was previously in Class 6, knew about Tang Fu from the neighboring class. Her long legs could mesmerize anyone, and Tang Fu had a lot of influence and popularity in Class 7.

Like Class 7's Zhao Jinyang and Bai Hao, they would do whatever Tang Fu said, often competing against each other. Unfortunately, now Tang Fu had moved up to the experimental class from Class 7.

Before Chai Wei could express disbelief, Qiang Li spoke up: "Why are Tang Fu and Jiang Ning together?"

Jiang Yanan: "They usually eat at the same table."

Lu Qiqi popped up: "Pang Jiao, if you want to lose weight quickly, I suggest trying the 16+8 method. By controlling your diet, you can lose weight effectively."

Wang Yanyan: "What does 16+8 mean?"

Pang Jiao: "Does it mean eating 8 meals in 16 hours? This weight loss method is good, I can definitely do it."

Lu Qiqi was at a loss for words and gave up: "You got it wrong."

"It's eating 16 meals in 8 hours."

Pang Jiao: "Hohohoho!"

Chen Qian, treating everyone equally, explained: "16+8 means finishing three meals within 8 hours, then not eating anything for the remaining 16 hours. This way, in a fasting state, it increases the body's fat consumption, thereby achieving weight loss."

...

After over an hour of hiking, the group finally reached the summit of Yishan.

Jiang Ning, carrying a black skateboard bag, stepped onto the last stair, and the scene before him opened up.

Reaching the mountaintop, he looked around at the endless stretches of mountains, with the forests covered in a layer of golden autumn hues, sunlight slanting between the peaks.

Jiang Ning slowly reached out his hand towards the mountains below, as if trying to grasp something.

Yang Sheng took two steps forward, walked up to him, and together they gazed down at the vast earth, the towering buildings of Yuzhou City looking like miniature models, showcasing the world's grandeur and magnificence.

Seeing Jiang Ning's reaching gesture, he made a fist as if trying to hold the world below.

Yang Sheng suddenly felt, "Every time I reach a mountain top and look down, I always feel that humans are really insignificant in the face of nature."

Jiang Ning was silent. He once was a late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivator; even without summoning his thousand-foot high true Nascent Soul form, a casual grab with his hand could easily uproot Yishan's highest main peak.

"Indeed." Jiang Ning sighed, now he was just a small cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm.
