Chapter 236: Chapter 208 Roast the Whole Thing_1
Hearing Li Fan’s arrangements, Long Zixuan, Lu Rang, and a group of people were all shocked.
They were stunned.
Catching a few fish to grill?
Grabbing a chicken to make Beggar’s Chicken???
“No, no, Master!”
Long Zixuan’s face changed dramatically as he immediately pleaded:
“Master, please don’t eat fish. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll go hunt for it right now in the outside world, but we can’t eat these fish!”
Good heavens, those are dragons, True Dragons!
In heaven and earth, there might only be a few of them left.
Moreover, Long Zixuan was learning from these True Dragons as his teachers; if they were eaten, it would break his heart to death.
Lu Rang also swallowed nervously and said:
“Master, I think the chickens in our yard have been raised for so long and lay eggs diligently. It would be such a pity to eat them; no, we absolutely can’t…”
He was truly afraid. Catching chickens??
Wasn’t this just sending himself to his doom??
Nan Feng also hurriedly advised, “Master, we don’t eat meat; we all like to be vegetarian!”
Zi Ling also opened her big, pitiful eyes: “Fishies are so cute; how could we eat the fishies!”
Even the little white cat was meowing insistently!
Seeing this, Li Fan was taken aback.
What’s going on here, hey??
Didn’t he just want to eat some meat?
How come all these Land Deities have feelings for the fish and chickens they are raising at home??
Li Fan was speechless.
But with so many disciples pleading, he couldn’t bear to really eat them and make his disciples sad…
At this moment, Wu Dade said with a look of anticipation:
“Master, what about eating dog meat? Dog meat must be delicious…”
Next to him, the Little Black Dog’s fur bristled instantly.
“Woof woof woof!”
The Little Black Dog bit Wu Dade’s buttocks in an instant.
“Ah—”
Wu Dade cried out in pain: “Dead Dog, let go!”
A man and a dog were plunged into a fierce struggle.
Seeing this scene, Li Fan was covered in cold sweat, wondering what kind of disciples he had collected??
“Enough already, let’s just prepare some vegetables and fruits. I’ll go to Auntie Wang at the village entrance to ask for some.”
Li Fan had no choice but to compromise. In his view, his disciples had developed feelings for every blade of grass and every fish and chicken in the small courtyard.
So they couldn’t bear to eat them.
He could understand that, so Li Fan decided that it was alright to ask the villagers for some, since there were plenty of chickens and pigs being raised in the village.
Hearing this, Zi Ling and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And in the pond, the goldfish that had become stiff and dared not move, now resumed swimming again.
In the chicken coop, the chickens that had been cowering and trembling, now also stood up again.
“Let’s go!”
Li Fan spoke at once.
Then, more than a dozen people in the courtyard all left the house with Li Fan.
“Oh my, if it isn’t Little Li, where are you all heading to for fun?”
They hadn’t gone far when they ran into Auntie Wang, who was scattering corn kernels to feed the chickens.
“The weather is nice, so I’m taking the disciples out for a picnic,” Li Fan said with a smile. “Auntie Wang, could you lend us a chicken?”
Li Fan spoke with a smile.
“Look at you, still talking about borrowing with me!”
Auntie Wang bent down and immediately grabbed two plump hens, handing them to Li Fan’s disciples and said with a laugh, “Here you go!”
Dugu Yuqing hurried forward to take them, and Lu Rang quickly offered Auntie Wang a small basket of fruit, including cherry tomatoes, tangerines, and so on.
All were produced in Li Fan’s small courtyard.
“See, you’re just being polite!”
Auntie Wang said to Li Fan, taking the basket of fruit and turning to Lu Rang, “Lu XiaozI, about that girl I introduced you to last time, she’s well-mannered and good for raising a family. What do you think?”
She quite liked this “farmhand style” of Lu Rang.
Teased, Lu Rang’s face turned a bit red as he said,
“Thank you, Auntie Wang, thank you, but I… I prefer grass!”
Auntie Wang was taken aback, then covered her mouth and laughed, saying,
“Young man, you’re so hasty, so direct! Haven’t even married the girl yet, and you’re already thinking of that?”
Lu Rang looked at Auntie Wang: “???”
The group of disciples looked at Lu Rang: “???”
Li Fan felt something was a bit off and immediately said with a smile,
“Thank you, Auntie Wang. We’ll be on our way now.”
Saying so, the teacher and disciples group said goodbye to Auntie Wang.
As they walked through the small mountain village, the villagers, knowing that Li Fan was going for a picnic, were all warmly contributing, offering chickens, ducks, geese, and even a small suckling pig. Even the fish that Li Fan had set his heart on, someone provided two.
The support was completely forthcoming.
They left the mountain village behind, with the bright sunshine and the spring breeze caressing their faces.
“The ecological environment in the Heavenly Realm is getting better and better; the air has even become fresher,” Li Fan remarked appreciatively.
The others, however, had complex expressions. The Immortal Spirit Qi was incredibly dense, yet to the teacher, it was just the air being a bit fresher?
Li Fan led them toward the Cangli Mountain Range.
After all, the scenery there was the best.
Before long, they arrived beneath a sheer cliff.
A waterfall flowed down from the cliff like a white dragon, with clear pool water below surrounded by a wide open area, lush greenery, all tranquil and harmonious.
The scenery was exquisitely elegant.
Here, Li Fan and the others settled down and began arranging their things.
Dugu Yuqing volunteered to kill the chickens and fish, with Lu Rang and Lin Jiu Zheng assisting him. Gong Ya was chopping vegetables nearby, with Xinning also learning, but her cuts were uneven in length and thickness, causing everyone to laugh.
Not long after they had set out, Wu Dade and the Little Black Dog got into it again, and their scuffle added a good deal of amusement to the atmosphere.
“This is truly happiness,” Zi Ling felt the ambiance and her pretty face was filled with a blissful expression.
She motioned with her fingers like a brush, depicting the scene, wanting to capture this happiness on paper forever.
“The teacher not only teaches us the Dao, but he also made us into… a family,” Nan Feng said with warm eyes and his music reflected a gentle and joyful tone.
This lively and joyful atmosphere is almost impossible to find in the Cultivation World.
There, it is the norm to fight and kill for one’s gain.
But thanks to Li Fan, they have, in a sense, lived the life of ordinary people and experienced the unique joy that comes with it.
A family, happily eating and playing together, is happiness, isn’t it?
Li Fan was equally delighted and said,
“Jiang Li, come, let’s have a talk over a game of chess.”
Jiang Li immediately set up the chessboard and began to play with Li Fan, while Xiao Bai jumped into Li Fan’s arms and started to sleep.
Everything was in perfect order.
…
At this moment,
above the Southern Territory,
an elder with white hair was following a young girl in white, and they appeared in midair.
“According to what my grandson told me, that place should be right below us!”
The White Tiger Immortal King reported.
“Hmm, almost there,”
the girl in white spoke indifferently, taking a step forward.
The next moment, the two appeared in front of a small village.
“Hiss… this, this place… really is the ‘Holy Land of the Dao’…”
As soon as he appeared, a look of astonishment flashed through the elder White Tiger Immortal King’s eyes.
This charm…
This principle…
That perfect, flawless aura!
It truly… resembles the manor of our master!
Could it be, this place is actually hiding a person like our master??
A being standing in the midst of the Saint Path??
The White Tiger Immortal King was shocked; how could this be possible…
The girl also looked at the small village, her autumn-water-like eyes flashing with a hint of surprise.
“It really is… interesting… indeed a ‘little Yang Realm’…”
She muttered softly to herself and immediately took a step forward.
“Master…”
The White Tiger Immortal King’s face changed; the situation here was unclear and obviously quite terrifying; how could they lightly step into it?
The girl in white was also puzzled for a moment.
The aura here…
It was even richer than the place where she lived…
Could it really be from the Yang Realm?
No, she must investigate thoroughly!
If there are others from the Yang Realm in this world… then she must clarify their origins!
Uncertain in her heart, she still said, “Don’t be afraid, let’s go in and see.”
The White Tiger Immortal King was extremely tense, but since the master had already gone in, he could only follow.
The two entered the small village.
“What a terrifying killing intent; with every step I take, it feels as if my life is no longer my own, and I could be killed at any moment…”
The White Tiger Immortal King muttered to himself; as a former Immortal King, could he really be feeling like a fish on the chopping block?…
He felt once again that this place was too terrifying.
But the girl in white remained calm, quietly observing the plants and trees in the village, though her eyes became increasingly solemn.
The more she looked, the less simple it seemed!
“Young lady, where are you two heading?”
At that moment, an elderly voice suddenly came from nearby.
Elder Zhao was basking in the sun by the roadside. Seeing strangers arrive, he lazily asked.
Seeing Elder Zhao, the White Tiger Immortal King’s body trembled, nearly ready to burst forth with his cultivation and flee.
Because in such a terrifying place, there was actually a living creature?? How terrifying!
However, he forcefully suppressed this impulse!
“The master is here, the master is here!”
He took a deep breath, reminding himself to stay calm.
Meanwhile, the girl in white looked at Elder Zhao, curiosity evident in her bright and kind eyes, and promptly said,
“Old man, we are here looking for someone.”
“Looking for someone?”
Elder Zhao was puzzled for a moment but then smiled and said, “You must be here for Little Li!”
Only outsiders would often come looking for Little Li.
The girl in white’s eyes flickered with contemplation as she said,
“Yes, I’m looking for Little Li. Old man, did he make that walking stick for you?”
She couldn’t stop staring at Elder Zhao’s walking stick!
The aura of the Saint Path on that walking stick was extremely rich!
Even the artifact refiners of the Yang Realm would find it difficult to forge such an item…
Elder Zhao laughed and said,
“Yes indeed, only Little Li has such skillful hands and such a kind heart!”
As he spoke, he looked at the White Tiger Immortal King and said,
“Is this your grandfather? Do you want Little Li to make a walking stick for your grandfather too? You’ve come at the wrong time though!”
He shook his head.
Hearing this, the White Tiger Immortal King’s legs nearly gave out from fright.
Grandfather?
He quickly said to Elder Zhao,
“No, no, you misunderstand, this is my young mistress…”
If someone else had spoken such words, he would have annihilated them on the spot, leaving no soul behind.
But this elder, he could tell, must have a terrifyingly powerful individual behind him.
A joke, an elder who could handle a Hongmeng Artifact, could he be easy to deal with??
He could see at a glance that the walking stick was a Hongmeng Artifact, and moreover, it was the kind that he, the White Tiger Immortal King, would never be able to refine in his lifetime!
Never mind his plain clothes and his easy-going nature, the White Tiger Immortal King understood at once: this was a hidden tycoon, a local mogul!
Elder Zhao suddenly said, “Oh, I see she’s a young miss from a rich family.”
The girl in white seemed not to mind at all, instead inquiring,
“Old man, where has Little Li gone?”
Elder Zhao grinned and answered,
“He took his disciples to prepare for a barbecue! They’re probably in the mountains now!”
The girl in white’s eyes flashed with doubt: preparing a barbecue??
Could it be some kind of Daoist ritual?
But without further questions, she politely thanked him, saying,
“Thank you, old man. Then we’ll go to the mountains to find him!”
She turned and walked away.
The White Tiger Immortal King followed closely behind, wanting nothing more than to leave this village.
After leaving the village, the girl in white led the White Tiger Immortal King toward the Cangli Mountain Range!
