Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Blackie left.
No one tried to speak.
They stopped breathing as if they had turned into statues.
Half a second later, they gasped at the same time. They felt suffocated.
Too scary!
Such a scary dog. It was unbelievable if they had not seen it for themselves.
Moo.
The Five-Color-Sacred Cow mooed meekly. It sounded weak, pitiful, and unbelievably helpless.
‘I can’t speak anymore?
‘My powers were sealed?
‘I’m a Sacred Cow. Was I disabled by the paw of a dog?’
It was having a mental breakdown. It looked at Payne and the others with confusion. It was asking for help.
Payne said, “Stop looking at us. We told you to relax but you wouldn’t listen. Now, look what happened. Not so cool anymore, right?”
“Cow, I didn’t kidnap your daughter. Do you believe me now?” Ye Liuyun walked over and patted on the Five-Color-Sacred Cow. He suddenly sympathized with the cow.
He was also once arrogant and cool until the expert punished him. The cow was more tragic than him. It was easily stopped by a dog. It must be traumatized.
He felt sentimental for a while and gulped. He asked coyly, “That…was the expert’s dog?”
“Yes,” nodded Gu Yuan. He smiled awkwardly and shook his head. “We were so silly just now. How would the Lord Dog not know how to attack? We were worried over nothing.”
Payne also nodded, “Yeah, it’s a huge opportunity to follow the expert around. The expert’s Saintly, his dog would naturally be extraordinary, too.”
Gu Changqing rushed them as he trembled, “Ancestor, grandpa, since Lord Dog’s out, we can’t delay any longer. We have to hurry up and go!”
“Yes, you’re right.” Everyone nodded.
Payne reminded, “Liuyun Palace Master, remember the rules that I told you. Be mindful of it!”
“Yes, yes, I got it!” Ye Liuyun looked anxious. He kept nodding.
He pictured how powerful the expert was. However, his imagination was shattered when Blackie showed up. It seemed like the expert was way more powerful than he imagined.
He was unsure who he offended, but he felt ridiculous and scared at the thought of his painting challenge insult. He was so ignorant and stupid!
He tried his best to stop shivering and slowly followed them with heavy footsteps.
The Five-Color-Sacred Cow was also tamed. It moved its hooves and stomped anxiously from time to time.
Soon, the four-part architecture appeared in sight.
The four cultivators and the cow were intrigued.
Gu Changqing took a deep breath and asked, “Is Mr. Li at home?”
“The door is unlocked. Come in,” said Li Nianfan.
Blackie suddenly came out, then ran back in again. Blackie knew there would be guests.
The four of them carefully walked into the four-part architecture.
Li Nianfan was playing chess with Daji and the Fire Phoenix.
Daji was getting good at chess after a long time of practice and teaching. The Fire Phoenix was also learning fast, too. The two of them were close like sisters. They worked together and proposed a chess battle against Li Nianfan.
Li Nianfan would not miss out on something so interesting. It was entertaining to be playing chess with two beautiful ladies. Especially when one of them was a Phoenix.
He had to admit that he was a cool ordinary man.
No one else was around. The little fox was in the backyard doing chores. Nanan was focusing on her cultivation in the backyard, too. She was very hardworking.
Li Nianfan could understand why. Nanan had tough experiences. She was captured by Demons, she was an Inferior Spiritual Root, and her Master was killed. The journey of cultivation was hard, it would be abnormal to be lazy.
However, Li Nianfan was glad that the kid had a huge appetite. She was as much of a foodie as Dragin.
Payne and the others hurriedly greeted, “Greetings to Mr. Li, Lady Daji, and Goddess Fire Phoenix.”
“It’s you guys. Take a seat.” Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Xiao Bai, bring out the wine. Let the guests taste my beautiful wine.”
Gu Yuan noticed Li Nianfan was playing chess. He said in an apologetic tone, “Mr. Li, sorry for the disturbance.”
“No worries, you’re too courteous.”
Li Nianfan noticed the huge figure behind them and exclaimed. “Milking cow? You guys brought a milking cow?”
‘Not really. We would’ve been killed by this cow if it wasn’t for your dog.’
They looked at Blackie at the corner. Blackie innocently looked at them and wagged its tail. Blackie was completely different from the previous cold demeanor.
Everyone twitched.
Payne had a stiff smile. He said, “We coincidentally ran into this cow on the way here. We felt like it looked unique so we brought it here.”
“What a nice coincidence! It’s fate!”
Li Nianfan laughed. “Thank you all so much. This cow can be the companion of the cow in my backyard.”
He observed the cow and was pleased.
The cow was bigger than his cow in the backyard. It was also stronger. It probably had more milk. He did not need to worry about milk anymore.
Milk was good. He would drink it for breakfast and could use it for a lot of dairy products. He needed a lot of milk. The cow in his backyard did not produce enough so he had to use it sparingly.
No one dared to take credit for it. They hurriedly said, “No need for thanks. It’s a small gesture. As long as Mr. Li likes it.”
Li Nianfan said, “Sit here for a while. I’ll go settle this milking cow in the backyard, excuse me.”
Payne smiled and said, “Go ahead, Mr. Li.”
Everyone watched Li Nianfan walk into the backyard. Before they could sigh in relief, the tension was high again.
Daji glanced at Ye Liuyun. She asked, “You’re the Lord Immortal that made the painting?”
Ye Liuyun jumped and felt tense. He frantically stood up and said in a trembling voice, “I’m the humble Ye Liuyun. Previously, I made a mistake because I was out of it. I realize now how wrong I was. I came here to apologize.”
Daji nodded. The Fire Phoenix did not say anything.
Ye Liuyun was more anxious. He could not stand well nor sit well.
He felt like he was no longer a Golden Immortal. It was as if he was back to the rookie he once was. He wanted to slap himself as a sign of sincerity for the bigshots.
Xiao Bai walked over with the wine. “Sit, everyone.”
Ye Liuyun stuttered, “Thanks, thanks.”
He trembled as he held his glass. He was blank from nervousness and subconsciously took a sip.
The sip of wine pulled him back to reality.
Lovely wine!
He smacked his lips and blushed. His powers were boiling within him.
It kind of felt like when alcohol met with fire. His powers were about to break through.
He hurriedly held his breath and focused. He absorbed and processed the wine.
He opened his eyes after a while and looked at his glass, baffled. He looked extremely shocked and perplexed.
“This… The wine…”
Legendary item. It was a legendary item!
As the Liuyun Lord Immortal, he was one of the elite forces of the Above Immortal Realm. He was a man of knowledge. He ate many ambrosia lot of and delicacies. However, those delicacies were trash compared to the glass of wine!
Such beautiful wine. If cultivators knew about it, they would go nuts from trying to steal it.
He suddenly remembered when he once fought for opportunities. He realized he was so immature.
He once fought with all his might for lousy opportunities. He realized they were not as valuable as the glass of wine.
No wonder Gu Yuan and the others kept saying he was the Godly expert. He could not mess with him.
He did not need to compare himself with the expert because the difference between a bigshot and an insect was too wide. Even a pig could see it.
He carefully held the glass in his hands as if he were holding the most precious treasure. He was excited and touched.
He was just a puny insect in front of the expert. He insulted him but the expert only gave him a simple punishment. He also blessed him with such precious beautiful wine. He was so nice to him.
‘Was this the generosity of the expert?’
He suddenly felt like he was only lightly punished. It was too merciful.
He sipped on the beautiful wine while squinting. He was having the time of his life. It was pure bliss.
He sipped while respectfully observing his surroundings. He first saw that cauldron and jumped. That was the Intermediate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, Xuanyuan Sea Spell Cauldron.
Thirty long needles were on a nearby table, casually spread out. The Ultimate Spiritual Treasure—Cloud Needles.
Then, he looked around. Spiritual Treasure. All of it was Spiritual Treasure!
Moreover, it seemed like some of them were normal Immortal Items that were transformed into Spiritual Treasures. How amazing!
It was slightly terrifying. Turning Immortal Items into Spiritual Treasures was a hundred times harder than turning an ordinary man into an Immortal!
As for the chessboard and the antique zither, he could not figure them out. He also did not dare to look too closely.
He slowly looked away and was startled. He noticed a familiar crumpled paper in the garbage bin, under the table where the chessboard was placed.
He excused himself from Daji and the Fire Phoenix. Then, he carefully squatted and picked it out from the garbage bin.
He slowly opened it.
It was the painting he sent.
The Fire Dragon was still on it. It was under the storm, being attacked by everyone. It was obvious that the dragon lost.
He felt complex as he looked at the painting directly. It was very impactful for his Insights.
In the backyard.
Li Nianfan slowly walked over with the new member of the backyard.
The little fox was on the little cow. They were running and playing freely in the backyard while chewing grass.
All of a sudden, it froze like someone casted a spell when it saw the big cow. It did not move at all.
The two cows looked at each other. They were emotional and they started to tear up.
Moo. ‘Daughter.’
Moo. ‘Mother.’
