Chapter 47 - Sister Has Gone Crazy After Transformation
Meng Liangjun looked at Qin Manyun with a calm look, almost as if he could see through everything. He replied calmly, “Take a look at the ordinary men. They work from sunrise to sunset just to live for a hundred ordinary years while cultivators have lived lavishly for thousands of years! They’d also want to know why they can’t become cultivators themselves. Would you tell them?”
Qin Manyun’s body jolted as if she was drugged. She remained transfixed in her spot.
She already had an answer in her heart. It was…qualification!
One needed to possess the qualifications to obtain answers to some questions!
Just like these ordinary men. Those who wanted to become cultivators and who were qualified would be accepted as disciples, but those who did not qualify would be sent away for not having enough Spiritual roots.
They would surely ask, what did they lack? However, nobody would tell them. Qin Manyun knew well enough that she would not bother answering such a boring question!
She bit her lip and bowed at the scholar again, “I beg Senior to reveal to me the answer.”
The scholar thought for a moment before speaking. “Heaven and Earth operate with their own sets of rules. I can only have a glimpse of one or two of them. Perhaps only those who set the rules know the exact answers.”
He looked up and gazed toward the sky. His eyes remained calm, looking into an unknown direction.
“Those who set the rules?” Qin Manyun’s eyes widened. She trembled as her blood flushed and a chill went up her spine toward the sky.
Taking into account the story she just heard, who else could set the rules other than the Heavenly Temple!?!
Her mind went blank. She did not dare pursue the thought further.
Meng Junliang said, “If you want to know the reasons, do come by to listen to the ‘Journey to the West’. With adequate understanding, you might be able to find the answer.”
“Thank you.” Qin Manyun bowed deeply and left without disturbing him further.
By then, the sky was dark and the four-part architecture appeared extraordinarily peaceful. Inside, only a room was lit up.
Li Nianfan was drawing and writing on a blank piece of paper. He seemed focused, as if designing something. On the table laid a knife, a bamboo branch, an ox horn, and a few beef tendons.
He was preparing to make a bow and arrow!
This idea was inspired by the cow that the Holy Emperor and the rest brought to him. He did not know what breed this was. It was strongly built, seemingly stronger than ordinary cows. Its horns were big and its tendons were tough—the perfect materials. These gave him a spontaneous idea to make a bow and arrow out of it!
Ox horn bows were the pinnacle of Li Nianfan’s creations in his previous realm. He would use materials like ox horn, bamboo branch, tendons, and animal glue. Going through hundreds of procedures, it was a true test of skill and technique. Undoubtedly, this was not a challenge to Li Nianfan at all.
“In the past, I had to rely on Blackie to go hunting. Sometimes, I even relied solely on luck, and would only manage to hunt something after much effort! How foolish am I to only think of making a bow and arrow now,” Li Nianfan shook his head as he mumbled to himself.
Once he finished making the bow and arrow, it would be more convenient to hunt for wild meat!
Li Nianfan stopped drafting and looked at his design with a satisfactory nod. The design was complete. That was it for today. The work will start tomorrow!
He said to the Sword Immortal Jade in the center of the room, “Lightbulb, blow off.”
Instantly, the holy light exuded by the Sword Immortal Jade dimmed and the room became dark again.
“This Immortal Realm’s so nice. This Immortal Jade is not only a lightbulb, it can even be controlled with my voice! How convenient!” Li Nianfan stretched and went to bed.
On a tree branch not far from the four-part architecture, a Six-Tailed Fox swiftly jumped and climbed to the top of the tree. Its little eyes focused on the architecture cleverly, making creaking sounds from time to time.
It jumped up, anxiously but still very adorable. Its pure white fur glowed under the moonlight.
Creak!
The main gate of the four-part architecture gradually opened. Daji took a peek from behind it before walking out slowly.
“Sister!” The Six-Tailed Fox’s face lit up with delight after seeing Daji. Its little buttock wiggled as it launched toward Daji.
“Sister, did that douche bully you?” she burst out asking, her eyes filled with rage. If her sister was being bullied, she could finally destroy that man!
Daji hugged the Six-Tailed Fox in her arms, rubbing her. “My master treats me very well. Don’t you ever think of doing bad things to him. It’s dangerous.”
Mr. Li’s cultivation was way beyond this realm. Even the cultivation of the Six-Tailed Fox was just like a baby in front of him.
“Master?” The Six-Tailed Fox stared at her. Her tiny eyes had gone huge with disbelief. “Sister, you actually call him ‘master’?”
Her sister was arrogant and dignified. As a sky fox, she could actually call this ordinary man ‘master’?
Did she not want to return him the favor? Marrying him would be better than calling him ‘master’, right?!
Where had her dignity gone!
Yet Daji nodded with a happy grin on her face. “Mr. Li is way above an Immortal. He’s shown so much kindness to me. Having him as my master is the biggest blessing in my entire life!”
“Sister, you…you…you…” The Six-Tailed Fox’s mind had gone blank. It was filled with question marks.
It scratched its little head with its paw, trying to make sense of it.
“Look, I brought you something special!” Daji took out an apple.
The Six-Tailed Fox was filled with anticipation before it realized that it was just an apple. It stared at Daji with a look of disbelief.
Just an apple?
How was this ‘something special’?
Its tiny nose sniffed the apple. The scent was yummy, but it was still an apple! What happened to its sister? Treating apples as ‘something special’?
The Six-Tailed Fox did not understand it. Perhaps its sister had suffered some brain damage after the transformation?
Perhaps the lightning affected her IQ?
The Six-Tailed Fox had tears in her eyes. It sobbed, “Sister, I also brought you something good. Please, eat them.”
White light appeared on the Six-Tailed Fox. Three different elixirs and herbs appeared in front of them.
Bam!
Daji instantly read the Six-Tailed Fox’s intentions. She said as she flicked the fox’s head, “Don’t think too much! Just taste this apple!”
The Six-Tailed Fox rubbed on its little head pitifully as it sized up the apple suspiciously. The apple was bright red as if glowing in red light. Its shape was round, looking good.
Unless this thing contained a mystery?
It opened its mouth and took a bite.
Munch!
The crisp sound was especially obvious in the night. Some apple juice dripped out of her mouth, but most of them went down the throat of the Six-Tailed Fox.
Hmph?
The Six-Tailed Fox was first stunned. Following that, its tiny mouth started moving rapidly as it started munching away.
Munch! Munch! Munch!
