“Blackie, I brought back a new toy.” Li Nianfan smiled and took out the Divine Bead, playing around with it in his hands.
“This is called a compressor! You’re lucky enough to get to taste the happiness of drinking Fanta.”
With that, he turned to Xiao Bai. “Xiao Bai, I’ll show you how the compressor works. It’s useful and voice-controlled as well. You’ll be in charge of making the Fanta!”
Xiao Bai nodded seriously. “Yes, my master. Don’t worry, my master.”
Li Nianfan and Daji rushed home. Now, they could finally rest. He sat beneath the pavilion in his reclining chair languidly as he enjoyed the peaceful afternoon.
After resting for a while, Li Nianfan felt refreshed. He recalled that he brought back other stuff besides the Divine Bead.
He took out the statue and the three paintings. The three paintings were nothing special. Li Nianfan did not want to bin them even though he thought lowly of them since it was given to him as a kind gesture. Therefore he simply placed them aside. As for the statue, he found it intriguing.
Li Nianfan admired it in his hand. Its dark shade and terrifying look were pretty intimidating. It seemed like a demon from the Immortal Realm.
He wondered what material this statue was made of. It did not seem like wood or ceramic. It was cold to the touch but not too hard.
The carving technique was not bad. Who would have thought that the Immortal Realm had someone so skilled in carving!
After examining it for a while, Li Nianfan simply placed this new toy on his table, using it as a piece of decoration.
The sky turned dark gradually. Li Nianfan and Daji had a simple dinner, played a few rounds of chess, then went to bed.
After a long day of traveling, he was tired. He deserved a good rest. Li Nianfan laid in his bed and stretched, moaning with pleasure.
As expected, his bed at home was the best! It was so comfortable that he fell asleep almost instantly.
Hoot—
In the woods, the hooting of an owl was heard, making the night seem rather quiet. The night sky was getting darker.
In the darkness, the statue looked like a demon with open jaws, ready to devour its victim. A terrifying sight.
Suddenly, the silent statue jolted slightly. Swiftly after, a black smoke hovered around it.
The black smoke stood out even against the dark sky. It grew thicker, covering the bottom of the statue until it eventually surrounded the entire statue.
The black smoke was like a strong current washing directly into the statue. The statue’s eyes lit up with a flash of black light.
“What did my pet experience in this realm that made it so terrified? It’s so terrified that it’s still in a half-dead state! What happened? Who could do such a thing in this realm?”
The black smoke boiled from within the statue.
“However, it’s not too bad. Since there’s still a hint of demonic spirit left in this statue, I, the Mighty Lord Yuecha will be able to use it as a portal to this ordinary realm. I’ll be able to recruit a few demonic followers to work for me!”
Instantly, the color of the statue turned darker.
The next day.
The sunlight shone through the trees and into the yard of the four-part architecture, casting shadows on the ground.
Click!
With a soft click, Li Nianfan opened the door and walked out of his room. He faced the sunlight with a smile. “The start of a brand new day!”
Daji was arranging the flowers in the yard. She smiled. “Good morning, Mr. Li.”
“Good morning, Daji,” Li Nianfan greeted. “After being away for so long, I wonder how the Fallen Immortal Town is doing. Why don’t we have breakfast there today? I know a stall that sells nice buns.”
Daji walked forward to help Li Nianfan straighten his slightly wrinkled collar. She smiled. “I’ll follow you.”
“I knew you’d say that.” Li Nianfan smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Let’s go, then. We can walk around as well.”
He glanced at the statue on the table suspiciously.
“Hmm? Daji, did you move the statue in the morning?”
“No.” Daji shook her head.
Li Nianfan frowned and mumbled, “Strange. I remember it was facing the door. Why’s it facing my bedroom door now?”
Perhaps he remembered wrongly.
Li Nianfan could not help holding it in his hand and examining it closely. It seemed a shade darker than yesterday.
“Weird.” Li Nianfan sighed. “Things in this Immortal Realm are indeed different. So mysterious! Who knows, it might be a little treasure after all!”
Meanwhile, a dark glow lit up from within the statue. Following that, black smoke oozed out, surrounding Li Nianfan’s hands.
Yuecha was delighted! Who would have thought that she would instantly run into an ordinary man right upon her arrival? How lucky!
She could easily turn this ordinary man into her follower. In turn, this ordinary man could help her recruit more followers! What a marvelous plan!
She could not wait any longer! She used the three deadly curses in one go.
“Young man, do you want to be invincible? To stand at the peak of the world?
“Young man, do you want unlimited wealth and pretty ladies?
“Young man, do you want revenge on those who once looked down on you?”
However, the reply she got was a long silence. The man did not even change his expression.
“Hmm?”
She jolted slightly. She was perplexed.
What happened? No reaction? This man had no desires?
Boring! So boring!
‘I, the Mighty Lord Yuecha, have lived over ten thousand years. Yet, I’ve never met such a boring ordinary man!
‘Whatever, this man is useless. Luckily, there’s a woman beside him. I’ll have to lower my standards and try her instead.’
“Young lady, do you want beauty that can turn people crazy?
“Young lady, do you want to stand at the peak of the world?
“Young lady, do you want unlimited romance and the ability to kill all the douchebags in the world?”
Daji merely threw a glance at the statue and looked away. There was not a hint of reaction on her face either.
‘I failed again!?’
Yuecha’s mind was buzzing with disbelief.
‘Perhaps after being absent from this ordinary realm all these years, the ordinary people no longer have any desires.’
Whatever! Whatever! What a boring couple! She would not recruit boring people like them as her followers.
She turned to her next target and caught sight of Blackie who was resting beside Li Nianfan.
‘Better than nothing. I’ll take the dog then!’
“Hey, black dog, do you want to become the winner among the dogs? Do you want to become a legendary dog with the prettiest mates?”
