Ling Feng continued to be busy.
Meanwhile, Lin Shuai Nan had already taken Guan Ya to the ice room next door and proceeded to shave Guan Ya's beard.
"Ouch, it's bleeding again. Don't be scared, I have a band-aid here..."
"Big Brother, maybe we should just stop. I can shave myself!"
Guan Ya was truly struggling. His beard was indeed being shaved, but he feared his face would be disfigured by Lin Shuai Nan.
Even if it wasn't that severe, having his face covered in band-aids would be unsightly.
He wouldn't be able to face anyone, let alone the resurrected Ba Yi Lan.
Lin Shuai Nan, however, directly slapped away Guan Ya's hand that was trying to stop him.
"Hey, little brother, don't you trust me? Let me tell you, your brother here is a professional. This was my specialty back in the day – hairdressing, grooming, shaving, it's all part of the same trade. I just haven't done it in a while, so I'm a bit rusty. Don't worry, I have this repair liquid. Just apply it, and it'll be fine. See, the wound has completely healed? There's not a single scar left!"
Lin Shuai Nan praised his own professionalism, and the medicinal liquid in his hand indeed seemed effective.
Guan Ya could only let Lin Shuai Nan do as he pleased, though he still managed to say, "Uh, Big Brother, please be gentle!"
"Heh, you still don't believe your brother, do you? I told you, I'm a professional!"
Lin Shuai Nan nodded repeatedly.
As he spoke, another wound appeared on Guan Ya's face. Lin Shuai Nan quickly covered it and then rushed to apply the repair liquid.
At this moment, Guan Ya felt like he was being tortured during an execution, even experiencing a feeling worse than death.
"Big Brother, I remember you saying your specialty was shoe repair and key cutting back then!"
Guan Ya couldn't hold back and retorted.
Lin Shuai Nan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "That's right. Your Big Brother here has learned many professions. I studied this in university!"
"Huh? There's a major for shoe repair and key cutting in university?"
Guan Ya was bewildered and highly skeptical about this.
Lin Shuai Nan nodded vigorously, "Shoe repair and key cutting were learned in the university of life. As for hairdressing, shaving, and grooming, those were my specialized majors at the 'Kill Matt' Sad Love Family Hairdressing University!"
Guan Ya's mouth twitched, "Big Brother, I've never heard of these universities you attended!"
"Nonsense, these universities don't recruit just anyone. People like you are ordinary, so they definitely wouldn't accept you. You wouldn't even receive their recruitment advertisements, right? Am I lying?"
Lin Shuai Nan remained full of confidence.
Guan Ya nodded, "Yes, yes, I never received any..."
"See? I told you I wasn't lying. Your aptitude is just too poor. Alright, now I'll cut your hair!"
Lin Shuai Nan produced a large cleaver from somewhere.
Guan Ya's eyes widened, "Ah? Didn't you say you were going to cut my hair? Big Brother, what are you doing with a cleaver?"
"Cutting hair. Oh, this is all about individuality. I can cut your hair without scissors. Don't worry, the hairstyle will be absolutely cool!"
Lin Shuai Nan patiently advised Guan Ya, trying to make him overlook these minor details.
Just then, a woman's voice came from inside, "Where's Guan Ya!"
Although the voice was a bit weak, everyone outside heard it. Lin Shuai Nan and Guan Ya turned to look simultaneously.
At this moment, Ling Feng had already helped the just-resurrected Ba Yi Lan out.
Upon seeing Guan Ya's appearance, Ba Yi Lan burst into tears, covering her mouth to stifle her sobs.
"Yi Lan!"
Guan Ya was even more excited and rushed forward to embrace her.
Lin Shuai Nan didn't even have time to stop him, only managing to chase after them with the cleaver, "Hey, hey, little brother, I haven't finished cutting your hair yet. You need a style!"
"What style? Are you calling me a silly pig?"
Ling Feng glared and blocked Lin Shuai Nan.
Lin Shuai Nan immediately shrunk his neck, looking wronged, "This is preventing my talent skills from being utilized!"
"Oh really? If you like to showcase your skills so much, shall I use this cleaver to demonstrate on your head?" Ling Feng grabbed Lin Shuai Nan and walked away.
Lin Shuai Nan couldn't resist. In a flash, Ling Feng carried him away from the lake like a little chick.
Upon landing, Ling Feng snatched the cleaver from Lin Shuai Nan's hand.
"Hey, hey, Big Brother, calm down. You can't use a cleaver to cut hair. My hairstyle is already perfect, there's no need for any extra trimming or decoration!"
Lin Shuai Nan quickly dodged to the side, raising his hands to prevent Ling Feng from approaching him.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Feng made the cleaver disappear as if by magic. He then looked at the calm lake and shook his head, "Let's wait a moment. Give them some time and space to communicate properly!"
Lin Shuai Nan was stunned, not expecting Ling Feng to let him off so easily.
"Big Brother, you're not going to cut my hair anymore?"
Ling Feng glared at Lin Shuai Nan, "Are you an idiot? Can't you see the occasion for your foolishness..."
"Ahem, Big Brother, I was just worried that after such a long time apart, and a reunion that transcended life and death, I was concerned about the awkward atmosphere. I was just trying to liven things up a bit!"
Lin Shuai Nan explained matter-of-factly.
Liven things up, my foot!
Ling Feng really wanted to curse at Lin Shuai Nan but ultimately held back. He then beckoned to Lin Shuai Nan, "Come with me!"
Lin Shuai Nan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and obediently followed Ling Feng.
The two soon stepped onto a mountaintop and looked towards another slope. That side was bathed in bright sunshine, while the lake on this side was never exposed to sunlight. Although from their original standing position, the lake didn't seem particularly dark, standing on the mountaintop, the contrast created a feeling of night and day.
"Wow, it's so hot here! I'm already sweating after just a short while!"
Upon arriving, Lin Shuai Nan looked around and started complaining about the heat after a couple of steps.
A look of surprise appeared on Ling Feng's face, and he pointed downwards, "What is that?"
"Wow, it looks like steam, Big Brother. Is there a hot spring down there?"
Lin Shuai Nan became instantly interested. But just as he was about to go closer, he suddenly remembered something and quickly recoiled, "This isn't good. Even if there are hot springs here, it's too hot. Standing here is like being in a sauna. If we go in for a soak, won't we be cooked alive?"
Ling Feng gave Lin Shuai Nan a glare and said coldly, "It's not a hot spring, it's boiling water. There's magma flowing underneath!"
"Magma? Oh my goodness, Big Brother, are you saying there's a volcano here? Is that true or not?"
Lin Shuai Nan's eyes widened, and he instinctively looked back, his eyes filled with astonishment.
