However, Blackie did not even bother looking at her. It merely turned away and faced her with its buttock, wagging its tail slowly from left to right as if mocking her.
“Hmph?” Li Nianfan halted slightly. He looked at the statue in his hand with suspicion. “This statue seems to be moving. Did it just vibrate?”
Whatever! He did not care anymore.
Li Nianfan put the statue down. “Daji, let’s go. It’s still early, so let’s hurry and grab our breakfast.”
Daji nodded. “Okay.”
The two of them eventually left the four-part architecture and walked down the mountain.
“Blackie, remember to guard the house.” Li Nianfan’s voice was heard coming from outside as he walked away.
Walking away, he felt rather guilty somehow. Before he met Daji, he would bring Blackie along with him everywhere he went, but now…
Would love vanish?
Inside the four-part architecture.
The statue vibrated again, and a puff of black smoke appeared in the air. The demonic spirit appeared in sight. Even the eyes of the statue turned bright red.
She growled in a deep voice with anger, “Stupid dog! I’ll give you one more chance to take the opportunity of becoming the best dog in the world. Are you taking it or not?”
Blackie turned over and its lips curled into a mocking smile. “Do you know who you’re talking to? I’ll give you another chance to speak to me properly.”
“Ha-ha! So, you’re a Dog Demon, eh?” Yuecha was shocked at first. Then, her anger turned into laughter. “It’s been too long…at least a thousand years since someone dared to speak to me so rudely. Who would’ve thought that the first would be a mere Dog Demon in this ordinary realm? Do you even know who you’re talking to?”
“Well, you asked for it, so don’t blame me!” Black smoke shot out from the statue, transforming into the shape of a black palm that reached out to grab Blackie.
“Whatever, it’s time for you to face reality as well.” Blackie stood at the same spot and shook its head arrogantly. It raised its paw and swatted the black palm away as if slapping someone.
Smash!
A force appeared out of thin air, crashing toward Yuecha. Following the powerful force, the black palm instantly dissipated, flying out along with the statue.
Bam!
The statue fell onto the floor as the black smoke seemed to shake vigorously. It was apparent that Yuecha was agitated!
She had countless question marks in her head. She was caught off guard and was still unable to accept this reality.
‘Did I just get hit by an ordinary dog demon in this ordinary realm? I didn’t even have a chance to defend myself?’
What breed of dog demon was this?
Yuecha took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She could not help glancing around at her surroundings. She narrowed her eyes instantly
Next to her was the Fallen Demon Sword!
Yuecha was delighted! She did not expect to meet a helper here! Indeed, life was full of surprises!
She said hastily, “Sword Demon, come out! This dog demon is unordinary. Let’s work together and we might stand a chance at winning!”
Vroom!
The Fallen Demon Sword emitted a glow. Swiftly after, the Sword Buddhist in robes appeared in sight, hands clasped together. He looked at Yuecha with a compassionate look as he spoke calmly, “Amitabha, Yuecha. Since you’re an old acquaintance of mine, I can help you beg for Lord Dog’s mercy and teach you Buddhism.”
What was that about?
Yuecha felt that her worldview had been challenged over and over again today. She could not help asking, “Sword Demon, what are you wearing? You’ve turned to Buddhism? Have you forgotten that we’re from the Demon Realm?”
The Sword Buddhist said, “Yuecha, my friend, heed my warning. Please, look around you.”
Look around?
What was there to see?
Yuecha pouted in disdain and glanced around half-heartedly.
With a simple glance, she was thrown off guard. She went blank as a chill penetrated her.
Somehow, she had been surrounded.
This…was this the Dragon Fire Pearl?
Hmm? Tianxin Bells?
Gasp! Thousand-Year Black Ice?
Ice-Crystal? Preaching Pearl? Divine Bead?!
Even though she had been to many impressive fights, she shivered under their gazes.
Somehow, she had been surrounded by so many bigshots…
What Immortal place was this? Was this not the ordinary realm? Was this the Immortal Land?
Yuecha panicked. She could feel her scalp itching as she cried out in a trembling voice, “Hurry! Sword Demon, we can work together. Perhaps we can still escape! Quick!”
The Sword Buddhist shook his head. “I’ve changed my name to Sword Buddhist. Not only am I not leaving with you, but I’m also going to convert you. Do you want to take the initiative to be converted, or do you want me to make you?”
“It seems that you’ve gone crazy! It was always us luring others. Who would’ve thought that you’d be lured by others! This is so disappointing!” Yuecha said in disdain. “If I were you, I’d rather die as the most determined defender of the Demon Realm!”
The Sword Buddhist’s face sank as he clasped his palms together. “If that’s the case, have a taste of my Heavenly Dragon!”
…
Fallen Immortal Town.
Li Nianfan and Daji walked along the street, looking at the familiar and friendly passers-by.
Soon, they arrived at a breakfast stall. The stall was not big, but its business was good. Customers were coming and leaving, filling up space.
A puff of smoke emanated from the stall, adding some heat to the morning air of the Fallen Immortal Town.
“Boss, bring me a plate of Soup Dumplings and two bowls of Tofu Pudding.”
“Hey, Mr. Li!” Seeing Li Nianfan, the owner of the stall instantly smiled in surprise. “What brings you here today?”
Li Nianfan smiled. “I’m just too lazy to make breakfast at home. Your business is doing good!”
The owner said with gratitude, “Thanks to the pointers you gave me. You taught me how to make the dough and Tofu Pudding. I must say that these are more delicious than what you can find anywhere else! I’ll always remember your teaching.”
“I was just saying, don’t take it to heart!” Li Nianfan waved it off. “Is there an empty table?”
“Yes! Of course!” The owner instantly led Li Nianfan to the pavilion. After searching around, he said, “Er Gou, is your butt so big that you need a table all to yourself? Go and join Da Niu’s table and let Mr. Li have your table.”
“Zhang Laoliu! I’m doing this for Mr. Li! I wouldn’t move if it was for anyone else!” Er Gou scoffed as he moved away. He smiled at Li Nianfan. “Mr. Li, please, sit.”
Li Nianfan smiled and made a grateful gesture with his hands. “Thank you.”
Er Gou waved it off. “You’re welcome. An uncultured man like myself is always impressed by a cultured man like you. Not long ago, I went home late because I went to listen to your story-telling of ‘Journey to the West’. My wife scolded me for that.”
“Ha-ha-ha!”
A few others joined in to laugh at Er Gou.
Someone added, “Mr. Li, you’re too humble. How rare it is to see you out with your partner. Of course, Er Gou should give you the table!”
