Chapter 2

The layout is very simple, looking no different from an ordinary household.

"Hello, is anyone home?" The girl in the white dress called out to the door.

Creak!

The door opened.

Li Nianfan poked his head out from inside.

It had been five years since he had any visitors here.

He looked at the girl in the white dress, and his eyes instantly lit up with surprise.

What a beautiful woman.

Could it be that heaven had heard his prayers and sent him a girlfriend?

Li Nianfan knew that was impossible.

This woman exuded an ethereal aura, clearly a cultivator, and from her demeanor, it was evident she was of noble birth. How could she possibly look upon him favorably?

The girl in the white dress was also sizing up Li Nianfan. Seeing that he was just an ordinary person, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She had originally hoped to meet a reclusive master who could help her out of her current predicament.

However, since she had come, she was curious and wanted to go in and take a look, so she said gracefully, "Hello, my name is Luo Shiyu. May I come in and sit down?"

"Of course." Li Nianfan opened the door and stepped aside.

Since the other party was not only a cultivator but also a beauty, Li Nianfan had no reason to refuse. It was always good to make more friends.

"Thank you." Luo Shiyu entered with her maid.

Upon entering the gate, they found themselves in the inner courtyard. In front of them was a path made of pebbles, crisscrossing, with various flowers planted around, emitting a captivating fragrance, making the scene pleasing to the eye.

In the center of the courtyard was a pavilion, surrounded by the main hall and rooms of the quadrangle.

At the moment she entered the courtyard, Luo Shiyu felt her heart instantly calm down. It seemed as if the courtyard had some kind of magic that could soothe the mind.

A robot walked out of the room and greeted the two girls warmly, "Welcome to my home."

"Ah, Miss... Miss, be careful!"

The maid was startled and quickly shielded Luo Shiyu.

Li Nianfan explained, "Don't be afraid, this is my butler, named Xiao Bai. He is a robot."

"Xiao Bai, quickly apologize to the two young ladies."

"I'm sorry for startling the two young ladies." Xiao Bai apologized fluently and bowed politely.

Luo Shiyu stared at Xiao Bai curiously and then exclaimed in surprise, "A robot? It actually has intelligence. Could it be that it has developed a spirit?"

A spirit, this was something legendary, only high-quality spirit artifacts could develop a spirit!

The key was that this spirit's intelligence was too high. Could it be a divine artifact?

Luo Shiyu was increasingly shocked, and a hint of reverence appeared in her eyes.

Li Nianfan shook his head and smiled, "You misunderstand, this is just high technology, artificial intelligence, not a spirit."

"High technology, artificial intelligence?" Luo Shiyu frowned, not understanding a single word.

"It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning." Li Nianfan was helpless and didn't bother to explain, instructing, "Xiao Bai, go to the back garden and pick a watermelon to entertain the guests."

Xiao Bai: "Yes, my noble master."

A humanoid weapon with intelligence, and he called it just a small trick?

Luo Shiyu drew a sharp breath, her beautiful eyes looking at Li Nianfan weakly.

She had heard that many senior cultivators with extraordinary cultivation liked to disguise themselves as ordinary people and play in the human world. Could it be that she had encountered one today?

Thinking of this, she didn't dare to breathe heavily, her heart was extremely tense, both excited and anxious.

Li Nianfan led them to the pavilion and said with a smile, "Please, ladies, take a seat."

"Ah? Okay." Luo Shiyu was somewhat absent-minded.

She secretly observed the surroundings and saw a long zither placed in the courtyard, so she couldn't help but ask, "Do you like musical instruments?"

"Just a pastime during my free time." Li Nianfan replied casually.

Luo Shiyu tried to build a relationship with this person who might be a master and quickly said, "I have a friend who has been immersed in music for many years. Why don't you bring her over to exchange ideas with you next time?"

Li Nianfan waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "No need, I only have a basic understanding."

Luo Shiyu was a cultivator, and her friend was likely also a cultivator. Although Li Nianfan had the title of Music Sage, he didn't dare to exchange musical instruments with cultivators.

Who knew if the so-called exchange of cultivators wouldn't release sound waves that could directly kill him. That would be a real injustice.

At this moment, Xiao Bai had already brought the watermelon, not only that, but he also used a kitchen knife to cut it and served it to everyone, saying, "Please enjoy slowly."

Luo Shiyu was once again amazed by the power of this spirit. Apart from its somewhat strange appearance, it was almost indistinguishable from a real person.

If placed among divine artifacts, it would likely rank at the top.

"Please, ladies, eat."

Li Nianfan said and picked up a piece of watermelon to eat.

The afternoon sun was somewhat blinding, and after just finishing lunch, he was feeling thirsty. Eating watermelon was simply refreshing.

Seeing Li Nianfan eating happily, Luo Shiyu couldn't help but pick up a piece of watermelon.

To her, watermelon was an extremely common thing. As a princess, she ate divine fruits and drank nectar, and watermelon was just a food for ordinary people, which she didn't really care about.

However, at this moment, she naturally couldn't offend the face of this person who might be a master.

"Hmm? The watermelon flesh is so beautiful, like red crystal, shining with a dazzling light, completely different from the watermelons I've seen before."

After observing it, Luo Shiyu was secretly surprised and then took a bite.

Crunch.

So crisp!

So sweet!

The watermelon juice flowed into her mouth, like a mischievous child teasing her tongue.

Instantly, a rich fragrance exploded on her taste buds, almost making her moan.

Delicious, so delicious!

She had never thought that a watermelon could be so delicious. This was definitely not an ordinary watermelon!

Swallow.

As the juice flowed down her throat, she felt the liquid turn into gas and spread throughout her body!

Is this... spiritual energy?

She couldn't resist taking another bite, this time a big one!

The taste was crisp and delicious, and at the same time, a massive amount of spiritual energy surged into her mouth, exploding in her abdomen.

Spiritual energy, it's really spiritual energy!

Just this one bite of spiritual energy was no less than that of ordinary spirit fruits!

Crunch, crunch!

She lost herself, the extreme deliciousness and rich spiritual energy almost made her lose her ability to think. Now, there was only one thought in her mind: eat it, eat it!

Soon, one piece of watermelon was gone, followed by the second, the third.

After eating two pieces, Li Nianfan quietly watched Luo Shiyu.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, and a look of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

Is this woman really a cultivator? Just eating a watermelon, is it really necessary?

After eating six pieces, Luo Shiyu finally stopped. Looking at the mess in front of her, her pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head in shame, avoiding Li Nianfan's gaze.

However, the next moment, a wave of heat surged through her body, and boundless spiritual energy exploded from her abdomen!
