Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Halfway up the mountain, at the large disc square, everyone stopped to rest.

Yang Sheng and Jiang Ning were full of energy, not needing a break, but Aunt Tao, who was with Tang Fu, was forty, after all, and needed to take a rest in the middle of the hike.

The center of the round disc square was a flower bed, planted with many flowers, and there was a wishing tree, with many red wooden plaques hanging on its branches.

Some tourists bought wooden plaques and wrote and drew on them.

Tang Fu didn't join the bustle; she ran to the faucet and washed her face.

She wiped her face with a tissue and then ran over to Yang Sheng. After being rinsed with clear water, her cheeks became delicate and smooth, the eastern light falling on her face, casting fine shadows on both sides of her nose, making her features more three-dimensional.

"Yang Sheng, aren't you going to wash your face? The spring water feels really nice, cool!" Tang Fu said excitedly.

"No need, I didn't sweat." Yang Sheng leaned against the rock, lazily waving his hand.

Tang Fu said earnestly, "Washing your face with spring water is really good for your skin."

As she spoke, she lifted her hand, her slender fingers gently brushing her cheeks, her movements smooth and flowing.

Thanks to regular exercise, Tang Fu had a strong ability to detoxify, and compared to other girls, her skin was very tight.

Seeing Yang Sheng's indifferent expression, Tang Fu fished out a small bottle from her pocket, saying, "Look, this is the moisturizing lotion I usually use. The moisturizing effect is great."

"Do you know why it's effective? Because it contains Highland Ice Spring Water!"

Yang Sheng was puzzled, "Does Highland Ice Spring Water have any special properties?"

Tang Fu explained to her, "Highland Ice Spring Water comes from the highlands; its biggest characteristic is its coolness, cooler than any other water, so it not only hydrates but also shrinks pores, making the skin tighter."

Yang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I reckon the temperature of water changes due to the surrounding environment, right? In a constant temperature environment, it won't be ice cold either, right?"

Tang Fu widened her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered, adorned with a few drops of clear water like crystals, shimmering with a gentle glow, she argued:

"That's Highland Ice Spring Water, it's colder than mountain spring water!"

Yang Sheng was taken aback, she instinctively started to reason, "Spring water on the highlands is cold, but once it leaves the highlands and goes to other places, it isn't cold anymore, right?"

Jiang Ning looked at her, thinking that Yang Sheng, who was always clear-headed, seemed a bit confused, actually trying to convince Tang Fu?

He spoke up, "Yang Sheng, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

Yang Sheng got mad, "Shall we bet on it then...?"

Jiang Ning continued, "Highland Ice Spring Water flows in areas of low pressure in the highlands, with a lower boiling point and freezing point, it can stay liquid in environments below zero degrees. From a Chinese medicine perspective, it attracts coldness... If used as an ingredient in skincare products, applying thousands of years of accumulated coldness on the skin, balancing the internal heat, naturally tightens skin, detoxifies, and nourishes is to be expected."

Upon hearing this, Tang Fu immediately clapped and praised, her expression filled with recognition towards Jiang Ning, "Good, good, well-reasoned, well-reasoned, extremely well said!"

After speaking, she showed a triumphant expression, "Yang Sheng, did you understand that?"

Yang Sheng was speechless, she looked at Jiang Ning with reproach, "Tang Fu was already foolish, yet you still side with her like this, what's your purpose?"

Nonetheless, Yang Sheng still played along with Jiang Ning, pretending to be convinced, suddenly gaining enlightenment, "Turns out, turns out Fufu was right all along!"

Tang Fu: "Would I lie to you?"

She poured some skincare product, blissfully applying it to her face, and casually asked Jiang Ning:

"Now that I've bought the right skincare product, do you have any facial cleanser recommendations?"

Jiang Ning: "That's easy, you can buy volcanic mud facial cleanser."

Tang Fu: "What effect does it have?"

Jiang Ning explained, "It has a unique similarity with Highland Ice Spring Water, volcanic mud originates from thousand-degree volcanoes, it can, through high temperature, burn off facial keratin, with a great cleansing effect."

Tang Fu widened her eyes, the water drops on her lashes were fanned off, making her eyes appear brighter, every blink like a butterfly flapping its wings.

"Jiang Ning, you know so much!" Tang Fu was encountering such a knowledgeable person for the first time.

Jiang Ning smiled lightly, "You're too kind, you're the most talented peer I've ever met."

After a round of exchange, both sides were delighted, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Yang Sheng observed, "Ah, I've seen it all."

She truly feared that after spending too much time with Jiang Ning, even Tang Fu's little bit of remaining intelligence would be taken by Jiang Ning.

After this incident, the relationship between Tang Fu and Jiang Ning had drawn much closer, it's hard for people to refuse, those who acknowledge their views, especially if that person is a wise man.

And Jiang Ning was indeed a wise man.

Tang Fu, in her unique way, showed concern for the wise man, "Are you cold, shall I give you my clothes?"

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, "What about you?"

Tang Fu spoke gallantly, "I won't wear it then!"

Jiang Ning: "With so many people around, it's not appropriate."

Tang Fu couldn't stand his hesitation, acting like a timid person, she suddenly leaned in.

Jiang Ning's gaze narrowed, facing Tang Fu's face directly.

Tang Fu wasn't like other girls who were shy and gentle, her eyes were bright, filled with sincerity, making it impossible for anyone to have any impure thoughts.

Jiang Ning took a step back, "Your eyelashes almost fanned me."

Tang Fu blinked, "How could that be!"

She raised her finger, closed her left eye, and then tugged forcefully, plucking off two lashes.

Then she slapped them onto Jiang Ning's hand, "See for yourself, they can't fan, they're not that long!"

Jiang Ning was stunned, was she really that straightforward?
