Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

19: Chapter 19 A Song of Huanxi Sand [Requesting Collection, Requesting Recommendation] 19: Chapter 19 A Song of Huanxi Sand [Requesting Collection, Requesting Recommendation] After resolving the issue with the herbs, Li Chen decided to take a trip to Cloud Mist Mountain in the suburbs to scout the area.

Cloud Mist Mountain is known for its tea, famous for both Cloud Mist Tea and green tea.

Thousands of acres of tea gardens grace the area, swaying gentle green waves as the breeze passes.

The faint aroma of tea refreshes one’s heart and spleen.

Indeed, the Spiritual Energy here is much denser than in the urban areas.

If a small Spirit Gathering Array could be set up here, the speed of cultivation would be doubled.

By then, he was confident that he could break through his current bottleneck and advance to the Innate Realm within three months.

Li Chen wandered around Cloud Mist Mountain for nearly two hours, losing track of time until dusk started to fall and he remembered he had to return home.

By the roadside was a roadside loft: a few girls dressed very lightly were boredly playing with their phones.

When they saw Li Chen, a handsome young man passing by, their eyes widened with excitement.

Just then, a middle-aged woman wearing heavy makeup, in her forties, jogged over to Li Chen.

“Hey young man, would you like to come in for a haircut?”

Before he even responded, she grabbed his arm and started pulling him into the shop.

“Young man, our haircutting skills are top-notch, all trained at Lanxiang!”

After crawling through mountain ditches all afternoon, Li Chen’s hair was messy and full of twigs and leaves.

If he went back like this, he would definitely be scolded by Ye Chuxue.

So, he agreed to it.

“Stop playing with your phones, there’s a customer!”

The middle-aged man, while pulling on Li Chen’s arm, shouted.

The lightly dressed girls, seeing the customer was a handsome young man, all put down their phones and gathered around flirtatiously.

Li Chen was somewhat annoyed by their chirping, so he just sat down in the massage chair.

“No need for the extras, just a simple haircut!”

Hearing that Li Chen was just getting a simple haircut and seeing that he was dressed very ordinarily, easily pegging him as a poor young man, the flirtatious girls lost interest and dispersed.

The lady boss waved at a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl and shouted, “Huanxi, come here a moment!”

The girl called Huanxi hurriedly responded and ran over.

Her face was clean and bright, with clear eyes and brows.

Her pretty face, ornate as carved ivory, had two light dimples just like green apples in May, full of youthful energy.

Bored, Li Chen casually asked, “Is your name Huanxi?”

Huanxi gently nodded and replied, “Yes, Lan Huanxi!”

Li Chen smiled slightly, “Huanxi, what an elegant name.

It’s taken from Yann Shu’s poem title ‘Song of Huanxi Sand,’ right?”

After saying this, he emotionally recited the famous ‘Huanxi Sand.’

A cup of new wine for a song, the weather of last year at the old pavilion.

When will the setting sun return?

Helpless as flowers fall away; like familiar swallows returning.

Alone I linger in the fragrant path of the small garden.

Lan Huanxi, with shy glances, timidly asked Li Chen, “Are you a student?”

Li Chen nodded, “Yes, a student.

What about you?

You seem young; are you also in school?”

Lan Huanxi’s eyes slightly moistened as she shook her head with a choked voice, “No, my dad was injured at the construction site, my mom has been bedridden for a long time, and my brother is preparing for high school entrance exams.

We need money for everything!”

As she spoke of her sadness, Lan Huanxi couldn’t help but let her tears fall.

Li Chen, who found it tough to handle girls crying, quickly changed the subject.

“By the way, I wanted to ask you, what time in the morning does Cloud Mist Mountain start having dew?”

Lan Huanxi quickly wiped her tears and said, “Around four thirty!”

Four-thirty?

Ye Chuxue’s home was in the city center, more than thirty kilometers away from here.

It would definitely be impossible to catch a taxi at midnight.

Forget it, he wouldn’t go back.

He’d just rough it out here for the night to avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth!

After washing his hair, Li Chen pulled out a stack of cash and handed it to Lan Huanxi.

“Do you guys provide lodging here?”

Seeing Li Chen casually pulling out what looked like thousands of dollars, the lady boss and other flirtatious girls all widened their eyes in astonishment.

Turns out this handsome young man is a rich second generation!

Immediately, their attitude toward Li Chen underwent a 180-degree change, as they eagerly circled around him with smiles.

“Yes, yes, of course, we have it.

There’s a refined room upstairs, a five-star presidential suite!”

Li Chen stood up and looked at himself in the mirror—his new hairstyle, though not on par with international top stylists, was at least neat and tidy.

Lan Huanxi, somewhat shy and nervous, asked, “How does it look?”

Li Chen nodded, “Looks pretty good, thank you!”

With that, he gave Lan Huanxi a slight smile and then headed upstairs.

Lan Huanxi, watching his back, curved her lips into a soft smile.

The flirtatious girls, watching Li Chen’s retreating figure, started to chatter among themselves.

One girl disdainfully commented, “Pfft, coming here and still pretending to be decent?”

Another piped in, “Huanxi said he was a student.

From my years of experience, he’s probably stressed from studying and wanted to relax here.

But probably because it was his first time and there were so many of us, he felt embarrassed!”
