Chapter 981 - Love Master Ye Fei Li

Bramble Bird ship, [The Empress].

The cabin of the ship.

“Come out”

“I’m not coming out!”

“Come out, I won’t scold you”

“Hmph, I’ve already seen your true intention with a treasure, you want to spank me! I’m not falling for that”

“Laura, if you do this, you’d be dragging the entire Bramble Bird Kingdom into war, I can’t let you do this”

“Gu Qing Shan, I am THE Bramble Bird Empress, I have the freedom to do whatever I want to do, you can’t interfere with my decision!”

“Open the door, let us talk about this”

“We’re not talking about this! I’m an adult and I’m not going to change my mind!”

The control room had been sealed completely shut by several million kinds of different treasures, basically impossible to breach.

And Gu Qing Shan couldn’t force his way in either.

He shook his head helplessly at the door.

Laura’s voice softened up a bit: “Gu Qing Shan, trust me, I’ve made full arrangements for this sortie including a battle plan and everything else, the Bramble Bird Kingdom as a whole will be fine, and there won’t be any casualties either”

“Really? Then tell me your plan” Gu Qing Shan said.

Laura then slowly explained.

A few moments later: “Your plan is decent, but there’s a certain risk involve, I feel that you——–”

Laura cut him off and raised her voice: “Who’s never going to run into any danger in their lives? There’s a risk of choking to death while eating as well! Gu Qing Shan, don’t even dream about forcing me to return!”

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but facepalm himself.

After a moment of silence, he said: “Fine, then come out now”

“Not yet, I still need to control the airship for a while longer—— go ahead and do what you need to do, I’m going to come out and find you later” Laura said.

Don’t be ridiculous, we haven’t even left the Bramble Bird Kingdom’s territory yet, there’s no way I’m going to let you force me to return!

Laura clenched her little fists tightly.

...

The deck of the ship.

Zhang Ying Hao was sitting on the ground while leaning on a wall.

He took out a bottle of liquor, poured a glass full for himself and slowly drank it.

Next to him, Ye Fei Li was playing games on a screen that he projected in the air.

“I really have to say, I sympathize with Gu Qing Shan”

Zhang Ying Hao clicked his tongue and commented.

Ye Fei Li didn’t turn his eyes away from the screen and said: “Don’t mind him, what about you? I remember that you were trying win over the President’s daughter”

“Me? I got dumped” Zhang Ying Hao dejectedly replied.

“No way, I remember before you left, the two of you had already gotten close enough to hold hands” Ye Fei Li was surprised.

“It can’t be helped, she wanted a stable life where we can be together most hours of the day, get married, have kids, and support our parents—— there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s currently the Apocalypse. I need to come up with ways to become stronger, to look for certain truths within the 900 million World Layers and truly find a way to survive, not live on as a government official who can be satisfied with what he has and simply live day to day” Zhang Ying Hao explained.

“Not even a chance to reconcile?” Ye Fei Li asked.

“Hah, I am a person who has killed too many people to keep count and an expert at many things, capable of dealing with any situation——- but I’ve always messed up when it came to pleasing women” Zhang Ying Hao shook his head.

Ye Fei Li thought briefly, closed his game, and sat down next to Zhang Ying Hao.

“Gimme one as well”

Zhang Ying Hao then also poured him a glass of liquor.

Ye Fei Li knocked glasses with him as the two of them drank the entire thing in one go.

Putting the glass down, Ye Fei Li then said:

“There’s always something that a person isn’t good at, no matter how impressive that person might be——- just take a look at Gu Qing Shan, his swordsmanship is unrivaled, he has countless skills in his arsenal, a hardened steel resolve, capable of feats that we could only dream of—— once he set his mind to do something, I feel like no one would be able to stop him——- but he doesn’t have any experience with girls, so whenever an issue comes out regarding this, he would immediately get flustered and not even know where to start resolving the issue”

At this point, Gu Qing Shan’s voice sounded from behind them:

“So how do you think I should resolve it?”

The two of them turned around to see Gu Qing Shan walking up from below deck.

“Can’t convince her?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

“The little girl is a bit nervous and afraid that I would send her back, so she refused to open the door” Gu Qing Shan helplessly sighed.

He sat down next to them, also got himself a glass, and toasted with the two of them.

“Let’s not talk about us, how’s your wife?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“She’s healthy. With your cultivation method, she’s slowly regaining her body, aside from the fact that she sometimes feels a bit cool when I hug her at night, everything else is normal” Ye Fei Li told them.

“How admirable” Gu Qing Shan raised his glass again.

“There’s also some issues” Ye Fei Li took a large swig of liquor.

“Like what?”

“She wants a baby”

Gu Qing Shan scowled and thought for a bit.

That is a bit troublesome.

Ye Fei Li’s wife is already dead.

As a relationship between the living and the dead, the fact that they were able to be with one another is already a great achievement, never mind having children.

And she is a cultivating ghost who has once again created a body for herself, her original body has already rotten.

Even if I used the Heaven sword and [Chaotic Flow] to fix it, a single soul having two bodies might cause some unknown and unforeseeable issues.

“That’s a really big issue” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Ye Fei Li smiled and told him: “In truth, I’m already satisfied with this, your matter is a lot more troublesome——- you’ve probably never been in a relationship before so you don’t really know what exactly is the right thing to do, yes?”

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

“From the way you said it, it almost sounded like you’re quite the expert with relationships?” Zhang Ying Hao gave him a sidelong glance.

Ye Fei Li puffed his chest out and boasted: “Before I got together with my wife, I was already a Love Master. I’m a man of countless relationships, heh, at the time there were so many girls who were in love with me, but since I was focused on games, I didn’t get into a relationship with any of them”

Zhang Ying Hao and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances, noticing the look of admiration in each other’s eyes.

So Ye Fei Li was actually an expert, a Love Master?

I completely didn’t know this before.

“Then, do you have any solutions for Gu Qing Shan’s situation?” Zhang Ying Hao asked seriously.

“I don’t” Ye Fei Li answered right away.

Seeing their dissatisfied expressions, Ye Fei Li asked Gu Qing Shan: “Can you tell me which one of them you’ve been together with the longest?”

“Been together with the longest?” Gu Qing Shan scowled and thought for a while: “In truth, I haven’t actually been together with any of them for an extended period of time at all, the one I was with the most was Su Xue Er—— but I barely spent an entire day with her”

“With so little time, do you think you’re currently in a relationship with those girls?” Ye Fei Li asked again.

“Probably not. We still haven’t had time to get to know one another, and a lovers’ relationship should only be established after staying with one another for much longer” Gu Qing Shan muses the answer to this.

“And that’s where the issue is” Ye Fei Li clapped his hands and declared.

“That’s where the issue is?” Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.

“That’s right” Ye Fei Li spoke with a stern expression: “You need to first experience love before you know what you need to do. The issue is that you haven’t gotten to know them, so you’re basically clueless about what they like or any details about them, how are you supposed to resolve this issue like that?”

Hearing this, Gu Qing Shan’s eyes lit up.

He muttered: “That makes sense, if I don’t have any knowledge of the issue, I would definitely not be able to come up with a solution to resolve it”

Ye Fei Li summarized everything: “Because of that, the most important thing for you to do right now is to personally experience what romance is”

Gu Qing Shan nodded in agreement.

On one side, Zhang Ying Hao was also silently committing this to mind.

Ye Fei Li suddenly took out his Holo-Brain and turned it on.

A screen of light was projected in front of them.

“I have quite a few romantic movies in here, you can watch them first to get an idea of what romance is” Ye Fei Li said.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “Is this really important right now? We’re still in the middle of an Apocalypse, and the Soul Shrieker is still chasing after us”

Ye Fei Li spoke solemnly: “A man who knows so many girls and yet doesn’t understand romance is always in the middle of an Apocalypse”

Zhang Ying Hao patted Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder and added: “Ye Fei Li is experienced with this, and what he said makes sense, let’s study this together——– one of us is a hitman while the other is a swordsman, both of us are clueless about this”

“...True, you’re right, we should try and study it” after a moment of thought, he finally nodded.

The title card of the film appeared on the screen.

It was written in big letters:

[Online Course in Romance]

The three of them watched it earnestly.

Ye Fei Li was also fully focused on it.

After watching for a bit, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but wonder:

“Hey, this content is...”

Ye Fei Li solemnly told him: “Study it carefully, this is something I spent a lot of effort to find and download”

Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to nod and continue watching

...

At another location.

Gu Qing Shan’s homeworld.

A young girl was currently cleaning the house.

“Shi Jun, I trouble you so much, always having you stay with me and help me with chores like this” Ye Fei Li’s mother said.

“What are you saying? Since Ye Fei Li isn’t here, this is what I should do” the young girl told her.

Ye Fei Li’s mother smiled sweetly: “Our Fei Li is truly fortunate to know a good girl like yourself. That’s right, you can take this home with you”

“This is?”

“Ye Fei Li’s photo album when he was younger”

“Ah—-”

The young girl received the album and flipped through it with interest.

Ye Fei Li’s mother sighed emotionally: “Fei Li had always been a shy and introverted boy. It was rare for him to even talk to a girl, so I’ve always been worried for him, it’s a good thing that he met you in high school”

As they talked about this, the young girl couldn’t help but smile:

“We’ve actually been studying together in primary and secondary school as well; we just weren’t in the same class”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. He truly was an awkward person around girls, most of the time he couldn’t even strike a conversation with them”

“Then, does that mean the only girl he could take the initiative to talk to was you?”

“That wasn’t it. I was interested in his shyness so I took the initiative to talk to him, after that... we eventually got together”

“It’s fortunate that he has you, truly fortunate”

Ye Fei Li’s mother praised.
