Time flowed like water.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
In the courtyard house, Li Nianfan's life was incomparably leisurely. He admitted that he was a layman, but with two first-rate beauties, Daji and Huo Feng, accompanying him, even if it was just chatting and drinking, it was still a kind of enjoyment.
Every day, he would eat, drink, and have fun. Occasionally, he would go out, hunt, and go on excursions. His life was boundless, and it was definitely enough to make most people forget about home.
Now that he thought about it, what was the point of people in his previous life working themselves to death? Finding a few beauties to accompany them, then living in seclusion in the mountains, building a courtyard house, and living a simple and unpretentious life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely looking at the southern mountains. Wasn't this wonderful?
I'm really a person who is easily satisfied.
At this moment, Li Nianfan laughed and put down the last card in his hand. "A straight, no more cards. Hahaha, you've lost again."
Daji and Huo Feng were slightly stunned, and then helplessly put down the cards in their hands.
"If you're willing to bet, you must be willing to admit defeat. Come, come, come, stick it on." Li Nianfan held two white strips in his hand. He wiped a bit of saliva from his mouth, and then stuck it on Huo Feng and Daji's faces.
After an entire morning, he had only stuck a total of four strips on his face, and this was because he had deliberately let the game go. As for Huo Feng and Daji, their originally beautiful faces were already covered with strips, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes blinking outside.
Daji couldn't help but coquettishly say, "Ah, young master, how can you be so good? Shouldn't playing cards rely on luck?"
Huo Feng also said unconvinced, "That's right, no matter how good your luck is, you can't be this good."
During this period of time, playing cards had become a common activity in the courtyard house. In the beginning, Huo Feng and Daji were very excited. They felt that they could definitely beat their master in this kind of game that relied on pure luck, so they were very motivated.
After all, in their hearts, their master was the symbol of perfection. In this world, there weren't many times when they could defeat their master. They could only rely on pure luck to have a sliver of hope. If they won, the sense of accomplishment would definitely make them feel great.
But very quickly, Li Nianfan taught them how to behave.
"Hahaha, is this my luck? This is my strength. To be able to stick four strips on my face, this is already the first time since ancient times. It's enough to brag about. "
Li Nianfan laughed and said, "There's no place to stick it on your faces. Do you still want to continue?"
Daji pursed her lips. "This is just my face. I still have a whole body. Let's continue."
Huo Feng's fighting spirit was also high. "That's right. If you have the ability, stick it all over our bodies. Come, I want revenge!"
Li Nianfan was immediately energized and began to shuffle the cards. "Good, I really admire your spirit of not admitting defeat."
But at this moment, Xiao Bai pattered over. "Master, lunch is ready. You can eat beautifully."
Beautiful your ass!
Li Nianfan, who was in the middle of drawing cards, suddenly froze. He wished he could stuff the cards in his hand into Xiao Bai's head.
A robot is a robot. You don't have any eyesight. This is the time for me to show off my skills. Why are you here to mess things up? Do you still want to work?
You don't know any better! It looked like it was about to attack from the face to the body …
Sigh, a mistake.
Li Nianfan said, "Then why don't … we eat?"
Daji pursed her lips. "I'll listen to Young Master."
"Let's eat." Li Nianfan's heart was bleeding. He endured his heartache and said, "Xiao Bai, go and call Nanna and Long'er."
Nanna and Long'er began their daily cultivation in the backyard again. They also took care of the backyard every day.
Xiao Bai immediately accepted the order. "Yes, my honorable Master."
Today's lunch was a seafood feast. Under Xiao Bai's knife skills, every piece of sashimi was as light as a transparent piece of paper. When placed on ice, they were exactly the same size. The fish meat was like a neat row of white jade. It was pleasing to the eye.
Other than the sashimi, there was also fried squid, pan-fried salmon, tempura, grilled eel, etc. It was an absolutely luxurious set meal.
In addition, these seafood dishes were all carefully selected by Ao Cheng. The meat was absolutely tender and smooth. The taste could be said to be top-notch. It was a pleasure to eat.
Long'er's eyes lit up as she ate. As a Dragon Princess, she had eaten countless seafood dishes. However, she had never thought that there would be so many ways to eat seafood. Compared to this, she had been swallowing without thinking. It was a waste of natural resources.
So the Sea Tribe can actually eat so well. Amazing Sea Tribe.
"Buzz buzz buzz —"
When the meal came to an end, there was a faint rumble of thunder in the sky.
Li Nianfan looked up and couldn't help but frown slightly. He let out a turbid breath and said, "It's been half a month. The blood color in the sky is getting thicker and thicker. Did something big happen?"
The summer sky should have been clear for thousands of miles with the scorching sun in the sky. However, after these few days, there was a sense of coldness. Furthermore, the sky was no longer blue. It was leaning towards a dark red, as if there was a bloody light emerging.
It was clearly abnormal and not a good sign.
"After playing for so many days, I haven't paid attention to the outside world for a long time."
Li Nianfan was a little emotional. He then said, "Let's go to the Fallen Town after we're done eating."
Nanna and Long'er naturally couldn't wait to go. They nodded continuously. "Mm mm, okay, brother."
Very soon, they finished their meal. Xiao Bai was left to wash the dishes in the courtyard house while the rest of them headed to the Fallen Town.
When they arrived at the Fallen Town, the atmosphere was obviously much more depressing as compared to the bustling atmosphere in the past. There was a tinge of worry between the eyebrows of the pedestrians on the street. They were probably affected by the blood color in the sky. All of them looked uneasy.
After passing through the streets, Li Nianfan arrived at the market with ease. As expected, Boss Fish was setting up his stall as usual. However, compared to the past, the enthusiastic smile was gone. He seemed to be sitting there in a daze and sighing.
He seemed a little lonely.
"Boss Fish, Boss Fish."
Hearing someone calling him, Boss Fish gradually came back to his senses. He looked at Li Nianfan and forced a smile. "Young Master Li, you're here. I haven't seen you in a long time."
Li Nianfan nodded. "Mm, I saw that the weather was a little abnormal, so I came out for a walk."
"Isn't that so? I heard that there's a demon causing trouble in this weather. Many people have already died! " Boss Fish's face instantly turned serious. He then said, "This matter has blown up. Young Master Li, don't you know about it?"
Li Nianfan shook his head.
Boss Fish sighed. "Around us, no matter if it's in the East, West, North, or South, there are cities that have been destroyed. I heard that there are even Immortal Cultivation Sects that have been destroyed! This matter has blown up. I heard that even Immortals from the Heavens have come down to the mortal world one after another. "
Li Nianfan looked surprised. "So serious?"
"It's not just that. Even the City Gods of those cities couldn't stop it." Boss Fish kept shaking his head, his face full of worry.
Li Nianfan comforted him. "Don't worry, Boss Fish. I think the Fallen Town should be fine."
"I'm not worried about that." Boss Fish shook his head and sighed. "My little girl … sigh. Not long ago, a sect took a liking to her and she went to cultivate."
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Little Fishy went to cultivate?"
Boss Fish frowned. "Yes. That person said that her talent for cultivating was superior. I couldn't persuade her and could only let her cultivate."
Li Nianfan finally knew why Boss Fish was like that. Cultivating came with risks. Of course, he would be worried if a child was alone outside. Moreover … something big seemed to have happened. Of course, he would be worried.
However, he comforted him. "Superior talent. That's very rare! Boss Fish, being able to cultivate is also a good thing. You don't have to be like this. "
Boss Fish shook his head and lowered his eyes. Once Little Fishy left, he didn't even want to sell his fish anymore.
Suddenly, he looked at Li Nianfan and said expectantly, "Young Master Li, I know that you're not an ordinary person. You're familiar with many cultivators. Can I trouble you to ask someone to take care of Little Fishy? I don't need her to be very powerful. I just want her to stay alive."
It was no secret that Li Nianfan was familiar with Emperor Luo and the rest. Moreover, Nanna was successful in her cultivation. Everyone saw her display of her skills in the Fallen Town. Boss Fish naturally knew about it too.
As Boss Fish spoke, he quickly bowed to Li Nianfan and said, "I'll thank you first."
"No, no." Li Nianfan quickly stopped Boss Fish and said, "I can be considered as half of Little Fishy's brother. Of course, I'll help you. Boss Fish, you don't have to do this."
At the side, Nannan also patted her small chest and vowed solemnly, "That's right, Uncle. I've even played with Little Fishy before. I'm her elder sister. I guarantee that no one will dare to bully her!"
To Li Nianfan, this was a piece of cake.
With his current status, everyone had to give him face, from the Black Bai Wuchang of the Underworld to the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the Heavens in the Heavenly Palace. Taking care of a little girl was just a matter of a sentence.
Not to mention himself, Nanna's current cultivation was enough to do whatever she wanted in many sects.
Boss Fish was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly, thanking him profusely. "Thank you, thank you so much!"
As he spoke, he had already begun to catch fish for Li Nianfan. He caught seven or eight fish in a row, all of which were the largest and best fish on the scene. He handed them to Li Nianfan and said enthusiastically, "Young Master Li, I'm not very capable. Please don't mind these few fish. If you want to eat them in the future, feel free to come, I'll prepare a few more for you."
"This …"
Boss Fish, on the other hand, desperately stuffed the fish into Li Nianfan's hands and said, "Young Master Li, Little Fishy is my life. Please."
"Then it would be impolite of me to refuse." Li Nianfan did not decline. He was indeed worthy of it. He asked, "Do you know which clan Little Fishy is in?"
Boss Fish hurriedly said, "In the Tianyun Clan, towards the east."
Li Nianfan nodded. "Alright, I understand. I'll take my leave."
"Thank you, thank you." Boss Fish was still thanking him profusely. "Young Master Li, take care."
Boss Fish had always been a straightforward person. It was rare for him to ask for help like this. What a pitiful parent.
Li Nianfan could not help but sigh in his heart. Although he was still a mortal, he had unknowingly reached this point. It was no joke to decide a person's fate with a single sentence.
I'm really too awesome. I've become a big shot by riding on someone's coattails. It's not too much to be called the world's best transmigrator, right?
Speaking of which …
Li Nianfan looked up at the sky and could not help but say, "The matter this time seems to be a little serious. I really hope it can return to normal as soon as possible."
With such a big matter, the Heavenly Palace would most likely intervene.
After hearing Li Nianfan's words, Daji and Huo Feng looked at each other and said, "Sir, Sister Huo Feng and I would like to intervene."
"You want to intervene?" Li Nianfan was slightly stunned. He could not help but frown, a little worried.
Huo Feng whispered, "Sir, we also want merit."
Li Nianfan was suddenly speechless.
He had previously wanted to create more opportunities for Daji and Huo Feng to gain merit. He could not let outsiders take advantage of them. Naturally, this was an opportunity.
However … people were sometimes so contradictory. Hope was one thing, but when it came to it, it was inevitable that they would be worried.
"There's really no free lunch in this world."
Li Nianfan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He reminded Daji and Huo Feng, "To be safe, remember to call the people from the Heavenly Palace along."
Daji nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sir. We understand."
At the side, Nanna suddenly said, "Brother Nianfan, Sister Long 'er and I would like to go out too."
Li Nianfan was stunned. "Where are you going?"
Nanna said, "I'm going out to train and kill demons. Who knows, I might be able to gain merit. Also … I want to find the demon beasts in the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' for Brother Nianfan."
Long 'er said, "Brother, I'm going back to the Eastern Sea."
Li Nianfan did not say anything.
He could not refute their reasons at all.
Since they were cultivators, they naturally could not stay in one place with a mortal like him. They were all successful in their cultivation and were ready to take over his life.
Li Nianfan suddenly felt like he was watching a baby eagle grow up.
"It's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. If you want to go out, then go out."
Li Nianfan suppressed the reluctance in his heart and pretended to be calm. "This is not a bad thing. Follow me back to the four-part architecture and pack your luggage."
The atmosphere before parting was always heavy. They did not say anything along the way.
Back at the four-part architecture, Li Nianfan sighed and said, "Go pack your clothes. I'll go pick some fruits for you."
At the backyard, Li Nianfan called for Old Tortoise as usual. He stood on Old Tortoise's back and started picking fruits. He also instructed Old Tortoise to move.
Just then, Li Nianfan noticed that the plum tree beside the peach tree was full of lotus-like flowers. There were also pearl-shaped fruits hanging on it.
"The plums are finally ripe. It's ripe at the right time."
Li Nianfan could not help but purse his lips. He sighed and said, "Plums represent separation. The ancients did not lie to me!"
