Chapter 69: Looking Familiar?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Ready…ready for the table?” The Six-Tailed Fox’s little head was confused, its little eyes blinking.
The Silver Moon Demon King was still so arrogant and fierce yesterday, but tomorrow, he was to become a dish?
And after a while, he would turn into feces…
Tzz…
This world was too dangerous!
The Six-Tailed Fox trembled with fear.
“Eh?” Daji looked at the Six-Tailed Fox’s buttocks. She exclaimed with a surprising look, “You’re growing your seventh tail soon! I knew the apple would be beneficial to you!”
The Six-Tailed Fox smiled joyously. “Hehe! I’ll catch up with my sister in no time!”
Daji looked thoughtful for a moment, and she then said, “Since the Silver Moon Demon King’s death, the order in the forests has gone out of control. Why don’t you become the next Demon King?”
The monsters had been crying and howling throughout the night these days, affecting her master’s sleep. This problem had to be solved! Also, if her sister could become the Demon King, it would be beneficial for her master. It would allow him to have the best experience of living an ordinary life!
A win-win solution!
Daji’s eyes sparkled. However, the smile on the Six-Tailed Fox started to vanish. It could not believe its ears, and it stuttered with shaking lips, “Demon… Demon… King?
“I can’t do that!” The Six-Tailed Fox shook its tiny head vigorously.
“Can’t you be braver? You’re almost a Seven-Tailed Fox soon. Your ability is almost Out of Aperture! Why are you still such a coward?” Daji ruffled the Six-Tailed Fox’s tiny head.
She could only blame herself for over-protecting her sister in the past. So much so that it now had no experience fighting.
The Six-Tailed Fox looked at Daji with its doe-eyed, pitiful look. “I don’t want to!”
“No!” Daji said with a serious face. “Do you really think you could’ve escaped last night? It was all because you were lucky! Master sent the two of them to save you! Master not only saved you, but he also gave you a chance. If you can’t help him solve his problems, what’s your purpose?”
“But… I can’t fight them.” The Six-Tailed Fox’s ears shot up. “Why don’t you become the Demon King?”
“I need to stay here to serve my master.” Daji shook her head, and after a moment of thought, she said, “Don’t worry. Listen to me. I’ll help you find a way.”
She had to make this happen to serve her master better!
“Oh, right. I’ve saved you some supper. A bowl of porridge, a dish, and an apple.” Daji took out the food and placed them in front of the Six-Tailed Fox.
Its ears shot up with excitement. Without hesitation, it started munching away!
This was not its first time tasting food from the expert, so it did not look down on the food. Instead, it was very excited! If anyone else knew about this food, they would surely fight for these treasures!
Most importantly, the food not only contained Insights, but they were also exceptionally yummy!
Munch! Munch! Munch!
The little fox put its tiny head into the bowl, gulping and slurping every bit of it hurriedly. When it finally raised its head, its white fur was covered in porridge, looking funny and desperate.
A small pinkish tongue came out from the little fox’s mouth, licking its mouth from left to right.
“Hmmph!”
The leftover food on its face was instantly cleared up.
“Yummy! So yummy!” The little fox rubbed its tummy with a satisfactory smile, its eyes in the shape of a moon.
Daji picked it up with one hand. “Don’t just eat. Go home and cultivate! Work hard to improve on your ability!”
“Oh…”
…
As the first ray of light touched on the forest the next day.
An elderly man and a young lady arrived at the bottom of the mountain. They then started climbing up the mountain with a hint of uneasiness.
Lin Qingyun looked at the surroundings and said, “I haven’t been here for a few days and there are already so many changes here!”
She still remembered that countless cultivators were hanging around the area due to the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, filling the sky with passing flashes and lights. Even though they were now gone, there seemed to be more monsters here in the forest.
And everything was out of control! She saw a Monster Pig fighting a Monster Tiger earlier, with other small monsters watching in a circle.
How could all these happen under the watch of the expert? What happened?
“The monsters are fighting one another, and it seems that they’re all fighting for the throne,” Lin Mufeng said with a frown. “But isn’t there a Silver Moon Demon King here? How could this happen?”
Lin Qingyun speculated without much thought. “Perhaps the Silver Moon Demon King’s dead?”
“How could this be!” Lin Mufeng shook his head smiling. “The Silver Moon Demon King has been ruling the monsters for four thousand years and is equivalent to a late-period Combination realm cultivator. With its ever-growing power, how could it die? It’s impossible to be killed!”
“Combination realm!” Lin Qingyun cried out in shock.
Although she had heard about the Silver Moon Demon King, she had no idea that it was so powerful! Her father just had a breakthrough to the Distraction realm, yet this Silver Moon Demon King was at the Combination realm! And at its late-period as well!
If no bigshot came out in this Tribulation period, then this Silver Moon Demon King would be invincible!
“This has nothing to do with us anyway. Right now, the most important thing we should do to visit the expert,” Lin Mufeng said with a serious tone. “Tell me what I should be cautious of again.”
“According to what I know, there’s only one thing to be cautious of, which is to treat him as an ordinary man. Also, you have to treat the treasures in his house as ordinary items. He also doesn’t like it when others show him with too much respect. The other time when Luo Shiyu called him Senior Li, he seemed offended.”
Lin Mufeng went into deep thought. He then smiled. “I understand!”
“This expert’s likely to have returned to basics! He’s way beyond an Immortal. Perhaps he’s even got hold of the Truth! To him, being an Immortal or an ordinary man makes no difference. Treasures and ordinary items make no difference as well.
“For example, an ordinary man likes to earn money, but if this ordinary man keeps blabbing about money in front of you, you’d be annoyed because you’re not on their level. In terms of cultivation, it’s the same for the expert as well. So, of course, he wouldn’t like us talking about it.”
Lin Mufeng’s tone was filled with awe. “The realm of this expert is way beyond our comprehension. He must have his reasons for doing so, and the only thing we have to do is to go with it! To keep calm and never offend the expert!”
Not long after, the four-part architecture came into sight. “Dad, it’s right there.”
Lin Mufeng nodded. He exclaimed, “It’s hidden but not really, it seems ordinary but not really. It’s indeed where an expert resides!”
Lin Qingyun walked up gradually and called out, “May I know if Mr. Li’s home?”
Soon, a ‘click’ sound was heard as the main door was pushed open.
Daji looked out from the inside. When she saw it was Lin Qingyun, she said, “Oh, it’s you!”
Lin Qingyun knew Daji as well, and she greeted, “Greetings to Miss Daji.”
This was the transformed Nine-Tailed Fox who was able to accompany the expert! Either of her identities was not to be offended!
Lin Mufeng knew about Daji’s identity. He said, “I’m the father of Qingyun, my name is Lin Mufeng. Greetings to Miss Daji.”
Daji smiled. “Hello, thank you for your elixirs. Please, come in.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Qingyun and Lin Mufeng entered the house with pious and uneasy feelings. The yard had changed a lot compared to the last time Lin Qingyun was here.
Inside the yard, a black dog was lying in the corner, napping with its eyes closed. An emerald rockery was placed by the river, sparkling and glowing. Surrounding the yard were all kinds of bonsai, blooming with exotic flowers and plants. Xiao Bai was watering the plants with a watering can in its hand.
What a leisurely and poetic scene.
However… Why did the bonsai seem rather familiar?
