Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 32 - . Being a person is really too much of a failure
Chapter 32: 32. Being a person is really too much of a failure
```
The entire Land God Temple fell silent.
Han Li and the Lingnan Twin Fiends were dumbfounded; they looked at the Mountain Demon, then at Fang Zhou, back at the Mountain Demon, and then once again at Fang Zhou.
The three of them had their minds crash, somewhat unable to comprehend the current situation.
Not receiving a response, the Mountain Demon began to shiver uncontrollably, its entire fur trembling.
Fang Zhou let out a deep sigh of relief; if he couldn't bluff the Mountain Demon, he was ready to pick up Ling Xiaoyue and use her as a human bomb to throw out.
Fortunately, the Mountain Demon was sensible, and it seemed that Ling Xiaoyue had indeed taught it a profound lesson today.
Fang Zhou did not relax his vigilance, knowing that this moment was the most critical—if the Mountain Demon saw through the act now, everyone would die in its rage.
So, stay calm, stay steady!
He cleared his throat, imitating an authoritative tone: "Well then, aren't you going to scram?"
After saying that, his heart started thumping wildly, his pulse racing to his throat.
The Mountain Demon sneakily glanced at Ling Xiaoyue, and seeing no reaction from her, felt like it had been granted amnesty.
"Your honor, sparing me is a mercy I'll never forget."
It dared not lift its head, maintaining the gesture of a bowed head and clasped hands, retreating step by step until after leaving the Land God Temple, it immediately transformed into a gust of black wind, fleeing as if for its life.
The Land God Temple fell silent again.
Fang Zhou's heart suddenly settled back down, feeling his entire back soaked, drenched in sweat.
Han Li let out a deep sigh of relief, casting a complicated, covert glance at Fang Zhou, not daring to look any longer.
On the other side, the Lingnan Twin Fiends were crying tears of joy, having thought they were surely doomed tonight, but unexpectedly stumbled upon a stroke of luck and retrieved their lives.
But after the joy, fear began to rise again—the two had not forgotten the disrespectful words they had said to Fang Zhou just moments before.
Yet they also couldn't help but feel aggrieved—who would have known this expert was masquerading as a harmless youth; maybe he even enjoyed playing this kind of deceiving game.
But the preferences of an expert are not something we dare to question, nor ask.
"Esteemed... senior..."
That woman hesitantly began to speak, as if intending to apologize, yet unsure of how to start.
Fang Zhou directly said to the two: "You two, scram as well."
"Ah?"
The Lingnan Twin Fiends were stunned.
"Ah what? Do I need to take action myself?"
"No, no! Of course not!"
The two, disregarding their own injuries and the prospect of more trouble with Han Li, scrambled out of the Land God Temple, tumbling over each other.
Now, scrambling away was much better than having this high-level being who could scare away a Mountain Demon personally drive them out.
After driving away the two troublesome fellows, Fang Zhou glanced at Han Li.
Han Li was tense all over, ready to flee at a moment's notice.
But Fang Zhou didn't say anything and sat back down by the campfire.
It wasn't until this moment that Fang Zhou truly relaxed, feeling an immense relief of having survived the ordeal.
Lucky for him, his Oscar-level acting skills allowed him to scare away the Mountain Demon by leveraging Ling Xiaoyue's intimidation—if there were any slip-up, the Mountain Demon could have killed him before Ling Xiaoyue woke up.
This made Fang Zhou feel a surge of anxiety; if Ling Xiaoyue weren't here tonight, his fate, and that of Han Li and the Lingnan Twin Fiends, wouldn't have been any better than what they had encountered with the bandits today.
This was just one Mountain Demon, and the world is full of such demons and monsters.
This bout of anxiety made Fang Zhou unable to sit still, and soon he stood up again, went outside the Land God Temple, found a large rock to sit on, and began to cultivate under the moonlight.
Within the Land God Temple, Han Li glanced at the soundly sleeping Xiaoyue, took out a small vial from her bosom, and took a sip of the Extract Liquid inside.
```
After drinking it, her complexion immediately became rosy, and her breath steadied.
Tucking the small bottle away, Han Li stood up from the ground, went to the door, and saw Fang Zhou cultivating on the rock.
His eyes were tightly closed, his body sat upright, and his face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes was calm as water, seemingly emitting a faint glow all around.
Moonlight transformed into speckles of light, revolving around him.
This scene made Han Li slightly distracted; she placed her hand on her slightly pounding chest, feeling her hastened heartbeat.
After watching for a while, Han Li withdrew her gaze, left the Land God Temple, and walked into the forest.
Lost in his cultivation, Fang Zhou didn't know how much time had passed when his nose suddenly caught a familiar fragrance.
It was the scent of roast chicken.
He opened his eyes and found that the moon had disappeared, and everything was pitch dark—the darkest time before dawn.
Only the bonfire of the Land God Temple still shone, like the only light in this dark world.
Fang Zhou jumped down from the rock and walked over, and as he approached, he discovered a pile of feathers on the ground at the entrance, showing some wild chicken had met its fate.
Entering the temple, indeed, there was a golden brown roast wild chicken on the fire, big and fatty, with chicken grease dripping into the fire like water, making a sizzling sound.
The one roasting the chicken was Han Li. Seeing Fang Zhou come in, she seemed a bit uneasy.
Fang Zhou hurriedly tore off two strips of cloth and ran to Ling Xiaoyue's side, stuffing them into her nostrils.
If this fellow wakes up from the smell, no one else would get to eat.
After doing this, Fang Zhou clapped his hands, turned to Han Li with a smile, and said, "This chicken... is it yours?"
Han Li nodded her head, sat up straight, and gave Fang Zhou a deep bow, "Senior, thank you for your rescue just now."
Fang Zhou wouldn't refuse such favor given freely; he merely waved his hand, "No need to call me senior. My surname is Fang, you can call me... uh..."
For a moment he didn't know what to have Han Li call him, and he didn't really want to reveal his name.
"Mr. Fang!"
Han Li quickly adapted and changed her form of address.
In this life, unlike Fang Zhou's previous life, the title of 'Mr.' was not common everywhere.
In this world, regardless of gender, 'Mr.' is a very significant honorific.
Fang Zhou didn't understand the intricacies behind this, but it sounded pleasant to the ear, so he didn't correct her, and then pointed to the roast chicken, his mouth already watering.
Since leaving Qingde City, he had almost forgotten what meat tasted like.
Han Li smiled gently and nodded, "Mr. Fang's life-saving grace, Han Li has nothing to repay, but my culinary skills are fairly proficient, I hope they amuse you."
She had been on the road for many years and had lived alone for quite some time, having developed her cooking skills, and carried spices and salt with her, occasionally treating herself to something delicious.
She had noticed Mr. Fang's troubled face when eating dry rations before, and had an idea, so she went out and caught a wild chicken, which indeed brought a smile to Mr. Fang's face.
Han Li was quite pleased with her judgment and actions.
When the chicken was ready, Fang Zhou and Han Li divided it between themselves, with Han Li taking only a leg, leaving the rest for Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou, eating the delicious roasted chicken, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Others traveled to new worlds and conquered girls with their cooking, but it was he who was conquered by a girl's cooking.
He felt like a complete failure as a person.
"Right, are the Lingnan Twin Fiends your enemies?"
Fang Zhou chatted casually with Han Li while eating.
It wasn't that he had any special thoughts; he just wanted to learn about the situation in the Cultivation World from Han Li.
Fang Zhou's initial understanding of the Cultivation World came from Li Ruyu, but Li Ruyu's explanations were very general, somewhat ambiguous, and concealed a lot of important information.
As for Ling Xiaoyue, well, there was even less hope; she had no interest in discussing mundane matters with Fang Zhou, and engaging in conversation with her, it wouldn't be long before she'd drag it off-topic.

Thus, Fang Zhou's understanding of the true situation of the Cultivation World could be said to be completely in the dark.
