On the next day. The sky turned bright earlier than usual.
Li Nianfan opened the door, he could not help from squinting. It was too bright.
The snow was not only earlier, it came at a large amount, too. Throughout the night, the pile of snow had gathered outside. The sunlight reflected off the large surface of snow, making the day even brighter than usual.
The ground, wall and trees were covered in silver.
“Good morning, my master.” Xiao Bai was clearing up the accumulated snow diligently. It said to Li Nianfan, “Breakfast is ready, it’s soy milk with dough sticks.”
“Good job, Xiao Bai.” Li Nianfan smiled and nodded.
Soy milk and dough sticks was a combination that he liked. On the winter morning, having a sip of hot soy milk was so enjoyable. Xiao Bai remembered it, thus whenever it snowed, Xiao Bai would prepare this combination.
After spending so long in the Immortal Realm, Li Nianfan had been through quite a lot of snowy days.
Xiao Bai said like a human, “You’re too kind, being able to serve my master is Xiao Bai’s blessing.”
Li Nianfan had a thought, he could not help riding on the cloud and rose up. He gazed at the land in the air.
It was a world covered in snow. The peaks of the mountains were covered in white, while the rest of the world had a white carpet on. What a sight!
After admiring the snow sight for a while, Li Nianfan landed from the air.
Meanwhile, Daji and Fire Phoenix walked out from the room.
Daji’s eyes seemed rather angry, she did not want to speak to Fire Phoenix. After all, her plan was ruined by the phoenix last night, resulting in her missing out so much! How frustrating!
Li Nianfan asked, “Daji, good morning. Why do you look tired? Did you not have a good sleep?”
“Mr. Li, good morning.” Daji pursed her lips, “It’s so difficult to sleep with Sister Phoenix, I won’t sleep with her anymore.”
Fire Phoenix could not help talking back, “Hmph! I’m the victim! You like to scratch me when sleeping!”
Daji said instantly, “No! You bite!”
“Ha-ha-ha.” Li Nianfan was entertained. The two of them sleeping together last night must have been interesting.
He called out to the room, “Dragin, Nanan, wake up for breakfast.”
“Okay, brother. Coming!”
Dragin and Nanan quickly put on their clothes and walked out from the bedroom.
When they saw the sight of snow outside, their eyes sparkled as they cried in joy. How much they wished to jump into the snow and roll around.
Li Nianfan already brought out the piping hot soya milk. “Alright, after breakfast we will build a snowman.”
Dragin and Nanan were even more excited, “Really? Yeah!”
This was the first snow this year, and it was big. Thus he decided to let Nanan and Dragin have a day off, to play with them. The entire afternoon went with a joyful atmosphere.
And the result of the afternoon was the addition of two cute snowmen on the two sides of the four-part architecture.
“Alright, time to prepare lunch.” Li Nianfan had a plan, he smiled, “Nanan, Dragin, you’re in charge of picking the vegetables from the back. Today is cold, it’s best for a hotpot.”
Meanwhile, below the mountain.
Three figures landed from the sky. Swiftly after, they started walking up the mountain.
“Clack…”
Their feet stood on the thickening accumulation of snow and letting out the sound. They stood into the snow leaving some footprints behind.
They were Gu Xirou, Payne and Gu Changqing.
Last night, they noticed the fireworks, too. With shock, they only then realized the fireworks were sent out from the Fallen Immortal Mountain. Instantly, they guessed that the expert had come home, thus they prepared to pay him a visit.
Gu Changqing had a huge black mountain goat on his shoulder, it was not dead yet, it was still weakly breathing.
This was not an ordinary black mountain goat, it was the Lord of all the black mountain goats. The Lord of Black Mountain Goat. They joined forces to kill it from the Immortal Land.
Since they knew that the expert liked wild meat, therefore they intentionally found some wild meat from the Immortal Land. They even caught a few demons like the Tiger Demon, Leopard Demon or Wolf Demon, they interrogated these demons to find out which wild meat had the best texture.
The answer in unison was the black mountain goat meat.
After searching for long, they finally found this Black Mountain Goat Demon with a lot of effort. This was the most they could do for the expert, they did it with sincerity.
Actually, they caught this Black Mountain Goat Demon a few days ago. However, when they visited the expert, they realized that he was not home. Thus they had been growing it until now, feeding it and keeping it fit.
Gu Xirou said, “Giving this to the expert seems not good enough, but we don’t have any other way.”
Gu Changing nodded, “Unfortunately the treasures on us are limited, if not we can bring them all out to exchange some treasures for the expert in the black market.”
Payne said, “Anyhow, we need to think of more ideas.”
As they spoke, they had arrived at the four-part architecture.
They saw the two snowmen by the door instantly. They knew that the expert was actually home!
As they walked past the snowmen, their hearts were beating wildly.
The things held on by the snowmen, the woods put in their bodies were all Spiritual Roots. Not only that, the decorations on them were all Deluxe Spiritual Treasure. Even the carrot on their noses were the Spiritual Root Immortal Fruits!
In fact, one of the snowmen had a handkerchief on its head. It was a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.
To state it bluntly, the worth of this snowman was higher than the three of them added on!
Who would have believed them if they said that the snowmen were luckier than them! How embarrassing!
Payne and the other two felt bitterly embarrassed.
However, in the next moment, they were captivated by the golden light on the snowman’s hand. Their pupils dilated as they let out a look of disbelief.
“Me…Me…Merit?” Payne opened his eyes wide, his lips chapped. His throat went dry, he was unable to speak from shock.
On the other hand of the snowman, there was a golden lotus. It was so enchanting with a golden glow circulating. It was a Merit Lotus!
Washes of sacredness rushed toward the three of them.
Even though the Merit Lotus was not big, this amount of Merit was unable to be gathered by the entire life of an Immortal. In fact, most of them did not even have the rights to come close to the Merit!
Showing off wealth was suddenly so insignificant here. The expert was showing off Merit!
Who else could do such a thing other than the expert?
Luckily the three of them were well-trained. They were able to regain their composure quickly, pressing down their shock.
Gu Changqing walked forward and politely knocked on the door three times.
“May I know if Mr. Li is home?”
“Click.”
The door was opened.
Xiao Bai looked out from the inside, “Hello, please come in.”
“Thank you.”
Payne and the other two gradually walked out. Gu Changqing carried on the Black Mountain Goat and carefully placed it on an empty ground.
Li Nianfan had a tray in his hands, there were some smaller dishes prepared for the hotpot. When he saw the goat, he could not help saying, “You all brought in your food to dine here?”
Gu Xirou hastily said politely, “Mr. LI, this black mountain goat is famous for its meat. We happened to have hunted one, so we brought it over.”
“You’re so thoughtful. This came at the right time. We happen to lack mutton here.” Li Nianfan did not hesitate, he said directly, “Mutton is the best to eat during winter. Xiao Bai, hurry, since we still have time, sort it out and make some lamb roll. This is a must for the hotpot!”
