Do you want to eat soft rice?
"Would you like to come up and have a seat?" Yang Ning invited.
"Okay!" Lin Yuanxi readily accepted the invitation.
Yang Ning opened the car door for her, let her sit in the passenger seat, and then handed her a pair of sunglasses.
"These are glasses, I've seen them before!" Lin Yuanxi excitedly took the glasses.
Since it was invented by Yang Ning, she actually bought a lot of them.
But can the one I bought be the same as the Yang Ning gave me?
"Cars and sunglasses go perfectly together!" Yang Ning waved his hand, and the car roof retracted directly into the Storage Bag.
That's right, this car can also be converted into a convertible!
"Play another song!" Yang Ning pulled out another record player and placed it between the two of them.
The vinyl record player was basically completed as early as 1931, and its principle is very simple. However, Yang Ning didn't know what the vinyl ester copolymer resin used on Earth was. He used a resin similar to pine trees that he encountered in Qin Mountain. Because it was specifically used to make records, it was called vinyl resin.
Having a car without music is like drinking beer without fried chicken. The 3D zone doesn't have Jerusalem. When Yang Ning was building the car, he also made a record player, but he planned to release it directly on CDs. He never even thought about putting something that was destined to be obsolete into the market.
But today, the atmosphere is already this good, what's the point of not playing music? We can't just have a dry chat!
"Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump."
A cheerful musical performance, accompanied by a slightly husky female voice, filled the small space.
<Salt> is from American singer Ava Max, but Deep Blue extracted the original singer's voice and added lyrics by Tai Heng. After all, the original version's stuff like stockings, Wonder Woman, and lipstick wouldn't be understood by locals.
"A new poem?" Lin Yuanxi's eyes lit up as soon as she heard the lyrics, but then she felt that it wasn't Yang Ning's style, and wondered if it was deliberately written this way to match the melody and rhyme?
Also, this song seems different from what I've heard before!
Little did they know, the lyrics were written by AI. They were certainly good, but could only be considered classics, not masterpieces.
The poems Yang Ning copied in the past were all of legendary quality, so the flavor of this copy is naturally different.
Lin Yuanxi turned her head and saw Yang Ning holding the steering wheel, already shaking his head.
"This is weird," Lin Yuanxi felt something was off; this was far too improper!
But
Lin Yuanxi tried swaying along a couple of times, and her eyes lit up. What was this feeling—somewhat exhilarating?
As one song ends, the next one begins.
"Why are you crying? Everything will be alright!"
The plantation owner's song is undeniably captivating; its powerful melody and cheerful vocals make you want to sway along involuntarily.
"You can hold out your hand, like this." Yang Ning freed his right hand and rhythmically tapped it in the air. "I don't know how my head is shaking, but look at this character, it's pronounced (FEN). You write this character in the air with your head!"
If she is naive and inexperienced, take her to see the world's wonders; if she has experienced the vicissitudes of life, take her on ten rides on a carousel.
Lin Yuanxi was certainly naive and inexperienced; being born into the Lin Family was no different from being born in the imperial palace.
After joining Taiheng, he never left the mountain.
Moreover, there's not much to do in this world once you leave the mountains; entertainment is practically nonexistent, and the street food holds no appeal for immortals.
As for music, Lin Yuanxi certainly has no shortage of songs to listen to, but they are all solemn sacrificial music or melodious opera. It's okay to listen to them once or twice, but who would like them after listening to them too many times!
In the modern world, the level of power and life force may not be able to catch up with the Cultivation World, but when it comes to literature, entertainment, technology, and food, it is absolutely overwhelming!
Putting everything else aside, Lin Yuanxi had never heard of most of the instruments featured in these songs!
At this moment, listening to music I've never heard before, sitting in a car I've never ridden in before, sitting at an unprecedented distance from a member of the opposite sex, surrounded by his scent, and hearing his voice.
The girl's heartbeat grew louder, her thoughts drifted further away, her eyes brightened, and even her voice became more passionate. She even began to sing along with the music!
"You are the most beautiful, sunny, rainbow-colored little white horse!"
"Who is singing, warming the loneliness!"
"You are a mighty and valiant man, skilled in lassoing horses!"
"Waaaaaah"
The car drove around and around the grassland until the sun set, the alcohol wore off, and the song ended.
"Phew!" Yang Ning let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head, and saw that the girl's face, which was as pink and tender as a baby's, was covered with beads of sweat that looked like crystal dew.
Yang Ning inexplicably thought of a sentence: "It neither condenses into Water Droplet nor flows down in streams."
This is what a fairy is like—untouched by worldly dust and free from various skin problems.
"The Lin Family has a daughter who has just come of age, raised deep within the palace, unknown to the world."
A smile that could launch a thousand ships, a natural beauty that cannot be hidden.
Lin Yuanxi blushed under his gaze and whispered, "Me, am I really that beautiful?"
Yang Ning sang softly:
"In the south there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent."
One glance could topple Human City, a second glance could topple a nation.
"How could one not know the power of a beauty to topple a city or a nation? Such a beauty is hard to come by!"
This poem was recited with utmost sincerity. Yang Ning didn't know what a beauty who could topple cities and kingdoms looked like. If such a beauty truly existed, she would probably be like Lin Yuanxi.
The pink blush on Lin Yuanxi's cheeks spread upwards to her ears and downwards to her neck, making her look even cuter.
"I, I, I didn't!"
What do you mean by "attracting beauty to cities and nations"? So that's how he sees me?
I'm ignoring you!
Usually, after a girl says this, she turns and leaves, giving the boy a chance to reach out and grab her.
Yang Ning also reached out his hand, but grasped at empty air.
Because the fairy was so fast, almost like teleportation, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, alright!" Yang Ning sat back down, somewhat lost in thought.
"Deep Blue, did she use the Heavenly Spirit-Word Spell to influence me again?"
"No!"
"Tell me the truth!"
"No, there really isn't!"
"That's a good idea!"
"Well, she probably really is affecting you!"
"I knew it!" Yang Ning slapped his thigh. So what if they're cultivators? So what if they have powerful Divine Ability? Does that mean they can control others like this?
Okay, there's no need to deceive myself. The <Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Technique> is always in operation, Yang Ning can't possibly lose his mind so easily.
"Deep Blue, what do you think? Should I say yes to her?" Yang Ning asked.
"Am I no longer your favorite child?" Deep Blue cried.
Yang Ning rolled her eyes. "Stop joking, let's analyze this rationally!"
"From a rational perspective, I suggest you marry her!" Deep Blue said. "She comes from the Lin Family and possesses top-tier Divine Ability. She doesn't need your support in terms of resources and combat power; on the contrary, she can be of great help to you!"
"Her talent for cultivation is exceptional, and she's unlikely to fall behind on her journey. You can continue to support each other!"
"From a cultivation perspective, if you have a wife from the Lin Family, you can be bolder in your actions and avoid countless tangible and intangible impacts!"
Yang Ning nodded. He could have built the car himself, but he had no choice but to make his method public.
He could have kept all the shares, but he had to give them away.
He could have developed something more advanced and powerful, but he was afraid of this and that, which resulted in him only being able to release a version that was repeatedly censored.
Why? It's because he doesn't have anyone backing him up!
Previously, Yang Ning had chosen the Taiheng Sect's group of Artifact Forging Master as his backers, and that was the purpose of his seeking out Li Yuan.
But what if this powerful backer were replaced by Lin Yuanxi?
The Lin family of Nanlin, with Lin Tianheng as their elder brother, might have elders at the Spiritual Law Realm above them, and their ancestors might have even produced a sect leader.
In the context of the world of "In the Name of the People," this would be equivalent to marrying Zhong Xiaoai.
"But if that's the case, wouldn't I be seen as a kept man?" Yang Ning asked. "I possess the Spirit Realm, Supreme Divine Ability Nightmare Energy, and Nightmare Energy—I have a whole host of cheat codes. Why would I need to be a kept man? Give me a thousand years, and I can surpass the Lin Family!"
"So, are you going to eat it or not?" Deep Blue asked.
"I won't eat it!" Yang Ning said firmly.
"That's courage!" Deep Blue exclaimed in amazement. "No wonder he's my host!"
"But she likes me, and I like that she likes me. It's mutual affection, a two-way street, so it shouldn't count as me being a kept man, right?"
