Daji silently glanced at the little fox in his embrace. She was envious.
Her Master hugged her like that, too. It was a nice feeling.
She thought that her sister was so lucky. She wanted to exchange positions with her.
The little fox was shaking with hesitation though.
Was he flirting? Should she resist? Would her sister be jealous?
Her mind was muddled. She hid her head like an ostrich in the end.
Soon, everyone followed Li Nianfan into the four-part architecture.
Creak.
The door opened. Xiao Bai stood at the door and bowed like a gentleman. “Welcome back, my noble Master. Welcome, guests.”
“Xiao Bai, hurry up and prepare some tea.” Li Nianfan paused. Then, he corrected himself, “Wait, no, you should prepare some beautiful wine instead.”
Xiao Chengfeng was intrigued. “Wine? No wonder it smells like good alcohol here!”
He already smelled the aroma before walking into the four-part architecture.
Li Nianfan laughed. “Yeah, and it’s a beautiful wine! Please.”
The wine had been brewing in the cauldron while they were away for a week. The aroma had grown more intense.
He ushered everyone to take a seat. Xiao Bai carried the wine glasses and filled them for the guests.
Li Nianfan raised his glass. “Come on, cheers, everyone.”
“Mr. Li, cheers!”
Urchin and Xiao Chengfeng did not dare to reject him. They hurriedly raised their glasses and chugged the wine in one go.
“Argh! Good wine!”
They were shocked because they were powerful but still felt that punch from the wine. They were starting to get flushed, too.
The troubles that were bothering them for years were being solved by the alcohol.
They looked at each other in extreme shock.
The effectiveness was scary. It was too incredible!
The wine…was a precious one-of-a-kind treasure!
The benefit of following the bigshot around was getting free food. Every single meal, every bite, and every sip were breakthroughs.
“If you like it, I’ll get Xiao Bai to pour another glass for you. But the alcohol in this is very strong, so don’t get addicted.”
Li Nianfan was half-joking. Then, he said, “Drink up first, I’ll find a spot for the cow to settle down in the backyard.”
“No worries. Go ahead, Mr. Li,” said Xiao Chengfeng and Urchin.
They understood what Li Nianfan truly meant. The expert was trying to hint to them that it was not good to overdrink the wine. They had to drink moderately. Otherwise, it would affect their brains. It would be too late if they got too drunk.
“I want to drink, too.”
The little fox leaped onto the table, coyly looking at Li Nianfan.
Nanan and Dragin had glistening eyes, too. “Brother, we want to try it, too.”
Li Nianfan stopped. He looked at them. He suddenly felt like he was looking at three problematic underaged girls.
He helplessly said in a troubled voice, “Xiao Bai, pour them some, too. Remember, only a little bit.”
“Yes, my noble Master.”
“I’ll follow you to the backyard,” said Daji.
She pulled the Five-Color-Sacred Cow to the backyard.
The Five-Color-Sacred Cow was traumatized.
It was one lonesome cow in a field of enemies. More importantly, it was surrounded by a bunch of freaks. They sealed its powers and would not even allow it to talk. They told the cow that from now on, it was an emotionless dairy cow. How rude.
What a dark life for a cow.
It looked at Li Nianfan weakly. Was he going to milk it in the backyard?
‘Should I let him?
‘If I don’t, will he turn me into a steak?’
It anxiously went to the backyard.
Its nose twitched as soon as it reached the backyard, sniffing the nice herby aroma.
Yummy!
Super yummy!
It immediately stopped feeling sad. It slurped its saliva back up and looked around.
Then, its eyes almost popped out of its skull.
The…land was covered with Spiritual Herbs?!
How was this possible?!
It looked down at its hooves. The grass was all Spiritual Herbs!
That…
What was going on?
It went blank at the magical sight. It would not dream of something like this.
Those were Spiritual Herbs!
Its mother was an elite being in the Above Immortal Realm, but they were very lucky if they could even bring back some Spiritual Fruits to eat. For thousands of years, it had only heard of Spiritual Herbs but never had the chance to taste them before.
Was it in paradise?
It stood there for a while. It glanced around and suddenly saw oranges hanging from a tree.
The golden oranges were round and plump, hanging high up in the tree. They had a sheen under the sunlight and they emitted an alluring orange scent.
Oranges!
The Five-Color-Sacred Cow was excited.
The orange peel was so delicious. The fruit itself must be beyond tasty. Could it taste the oranges?
“Alright, don’t be scared. This is your new home from now on,” Li Nianfan said as he patted the Sacred Cow. He smiled and said, “This land’s pretty nice. As long as you keep producing milk, I won’t let you starve.”
‘He… Is he going to let me eat the Spiritual Herbs?’
The Sacred Cow looked at Li Nianfan and its ears trembled. It could not believe its ears.
It licked its lips and finally caved in to the seduction of food. It chewed on a small pinch of Spiritual Herbs.
“I did it, mother. I ate the Spiritual Herb! Boohoo—”
The Sacred Cow was feeling extremely emotional, it almost cried.
It noticed Li Nianfan did not react, so it proceeded to chew and slurp the grass like noodles.
Was that how Spiritual Herbs tasted? Delicious. Sacred Cows were supposed to eat something as delicious as this!
It shined brightly as hot tears streamed down its face—tears of happiness.
Moo! Moo!
It mooed softly. It could not speak, but if it could, it would say, “I have to tell my mommy about this. She has more milk than I do. Can I call my mommy? Boohoo, mommy, these people aren’t freaks. They didn’t lie to me. They were really looking out for us!”
“Seems like it likes the grass here.”
Li Nianfan smiled. Then, he said, “Daji, look after it. I’ll try to milk it. It’s been a long time since I had milk. I can’t wait.”
He rolled up his sleeves while he spoke. He placed a wooden bucket underneath the cow and squatted. He reached out with his ‘perverted’ hands.
He squeezed and milk instantly squirted out.
Li Nianfan was pleasantly surprised. “Yo, this cow’s nice. It has a lot of milk!”
Soon, he had half a bucket full of milk. Li Nianfan stopped. It was enough.
“Thank you.” Li Nianfan patted the cow. Then, he carried the bucket and left.
Urchin noticed Li Nianfan coming back. He immediately asked, “Mr. Li, is the milking process successful?”
“Haha, very successful. I got a lot of milk.”
Li Nianfan laughed and put the bucket down. He groaned for a moment and said, “I have nothing to serve you all today, but I do have milk. I should make Papaya Milk Almond Junket for you all.”
“Papaya Milk Almond Junket?” Everyone was taken aback.
Li Nianfan laughed. “You’ll find out what it is later. The weather’s cool, and this stuff is great for skin replenishment. It has other benefits, too, and of course, it’s also quite tasty.”
He started to make it.
Papaya Milk Almond Junket was easy to make. All he had to do was remove the peel from the papaya, dice it, and set it aside. Then, crush the almonds into powder and pour in a nice amount of milk, stirring it well while it boils.
After an hour or so, mix in the papayas. Of course, Li Nianfan also added honey to increase the sweetness.
It was a dessert that focused mainly on the ingredients. No skill was required to make it.
Li Nianfan made the dessert while chatting casually with everyone.
Soon, the pure white milk started to boil. The sweet scent of milk and honey was everywhere.
The milk already had a nice milky scent, but after boiling it, the aroma was more deep and intense. Especially when it was the milk from the Five-Color-Sacred Cow. The nice aroma was enhanced to its extreme. The aroma was subtle and elegant, smooth like velvet.
Everyone did not need to smell it hard. They simply had to breathe in and enjoy the lovely scent.
“Done.”
Li Nianfan scooped a bowl for everyone.
Everyone lifted their bowls to examine the dish closely.
Maybe because the almond powder was added, the color of the milk was no longer pure white. It was more of a brownish cream instead. It was also very soupy. There were bits of food in it, like decorative stars.
An almost translucent papaya floated on the milk’s surface. It was a delicacy that no one had seen before but it looked great. It looked very appetizing.
It was a dessert. Girls would love it.
As expected, Daji and the girls were the ones who ate it first.
They did not have spoons so they sipped on it. The sticky liquid smoothly went down their throats. It was aromatic.
The combination of milk and almond was perfect. The sweetness from the honey was extremely enjoyable on the palette, too.
Delicious, so delicious!
Their lips looked glossy from the sticky soup because they ate it too hurriedly, including the Fire Phoenix. It was sexy and also quirky.
The little fox was outrageous. She buried her entire head into the bowl to lick up the milk. She was feisty and agile. Soon, she had cleaned the entire bowl. She then realized her face and fur were covered in soup when she looked up again. It was a funny but cute look. Li Nianfan burst out laughing at that.
Knock knock.
Suddenly, there was a knock outside the door.
Li Nianfan slightly raised his eyebrow. Everyone froze, too.
Guests?
Xiao Bai walked over without Li Nianfan’s orders.
Creak.
The door swung open.
An elder in a white shirt stood outside the door.
Xiao Bai looked at the elder. Suddenly, Xiao Bai glared at him with red mechanical eyes.
“How rude, visiting with your figure. Begone!”
Then, Xiao Bai lifted its arm. Mechanical fingers retracted, revealing five vacuum-like holes.
The elder was shocked at the sight of Xiao Bai. He did not have the chance to say hello before he heard a ‘vroom’ and was sucked away by Xiao Bai like a vacuum. No traces were left.
Xiao Bai acted as if nothing happened and turned around to shut the door.
Li Nianfan asked, “Xiao Bai, did somebody come?”
Xiao Bai replied, “My noble master, it’s just the wind.”
Everyone did not care much either. They continued to eat and drink.
At the Ice Palace in the Above Immortal Realm.
The elder opened his eyes vividly. He groaned, he was flushed. Blood dripped out of his mouth.
His hair still stood on ends from the horrifying incident.
That was…a Spiritual Robot?
So scary!
If he was there for real, he would have been dead.
How could such a scary Spiritual Robot exist?
That lady still stood at the same spot. She frowned, “What happened?”
“Seventh Princess, I was wiped out by a Spiritual Robot.” Xing Guan could not stop smiling awkwardly. He fearfully described what happened.
The lady was intrigued. She sighed softly and said, “It’s our mistake. We should’ve known who they are. How could we visit using our figure? How disrespectful.”
Xing Guan asked, “Seventh Princess, what should we do next?”
“Pay them a visit, of course,” said the Seventh Princess without hesitation. Then, she said, “But you have to be cautious this time. Don’t offend the expert’s rules, and be mindful when you talk. Otherwise…”
“I got it.” Xing Guan felt a chill go down his spine.
He had to be careful. Any mistake could send him to his grave.
He bowed and said, “Seventh Princess, I’ll be on my way.”
“Wait.”
The Seventh Prince groaned for a moment. She flicked her wrist and out came a long silver needle. It glistened. “Take this as a greeting gift. You must clear up the misunderstanding that happened just now.”
Xing Guan looked shocked. He said, “Seventh Princess, isn’t this greeting gift too valuable? We…”
“Say less. This represents our sincerity.” The Seventh Princess waved him away. “Go.”
Xing Guan looked like he was in pain for a moment. He saluted and said, “I…got it.”
