Chapter 24

Li Nianfan watched the figure of Nuan Nuan, his thoughts drifting away.

He hoped that Nuan Nuan could recover soon and get out of the shadow of the demon.

However, the taste of the leopard meat from last time was really good. Apart from a pond in his backyard that couldn't raise fish, he didn't keep any poultry, so it was quite difficult to have a meaty meal.

Moreover, compared to ordinary game, the meat of demons was obviously better.

Li Nianfan murmured softly, "I'm actually craving some game."

His voice wasn't loud, but Bai Wuchen and the others heard it clearly.

The hint from the great man has come!

It's time to test our insight!

Their eyes lit up, and their faces turned red with excitement.

"Master Li, I am not very capable, but I am willing to hunt some game for you," Bai Wuchen said, taking the lead.

"Master Li, I can do it too," Lin Qingyun and Zhao Shanhe said in unison, a step behind.

Li Nianfan was taken aback by their enthusiasm, "Um... actually, there's no need to be so formal."

"Master Li, we listen to your stories for free, so it's only right that we hunt some game for you," Lin Qingyun said.

Bai Wuchen couldn't wait to rise on his sword, "Master Li, why don't you go back and wait? We'll go and hunt some game for you."

Seeing their enthusiasm, Li Nianfan couldn't refuse their kindness and nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wuchen and the others turned into streaks of light and flew away.

They looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with a competitive spirit, clearly preparing to outdo each other in front of Li Nianfan.

At this moment, Bai Luoshuang spoke up timidly, "Um... I don't think Master Li's words are that simple."

Huh?

Everyone turned to look at Bai Luoshuang.

Lin Qingyun had a thoughtful expression.

"Bao'er, what do you mean?" Bai Wuchen asked.

"Dad, Master Li definitely isn't just craving game. After Master Li killed the leopard demon last time, he treated us to roasted leopard meat. I think Master Li's game refers to demons," Bai Luoshuang said.

"Why didn't I think of that? I just noticed that the great man looked at Nuan Nuan with deep affection. Nuan Nuan was harmed by demons, so the great man must hate demons!" Zhong Xiu nodded repeatedly.

"Oh, thank you for reminding me. How could a great man like him eat ordinary game? It must refer to demons! I almost misunderstood his meaning. If we had brought back ordinary game, we would have lost this opportunity," Bai Wuchen was deeply relieved.

He couldn't help but think of the insight tests in the great man's stories. This time was really close, almost failing.

Thank goodness his daughter understood in time.

Zhao Shanhe couldn't wait, "What are we waiting for? Let's go kill some demons, at least a demon king!"

Lin Qingyun said, "I know a place where a tiger demon king lives. He is at the Yuanying stage and has committed many evil deeds. Killing him will definitely please the great man."

"Take us there quickly."

The group hurried, flying at breakneck speed towards their target.

In a forest far away, demonic energy filled the air. All caravans and travelers passing by would show fear and choose to detour.

At this moment, a group of minor demons were gathered in the forest, holding a wild party. The tiger demon king, with a huge tiger head, sat at the main seat, watching the performances of the minor demons while eating meat and drinking wine.

Beams of light appeared from afar and landed in the forest in an instant.

Then, a white sword qi shot up into the sky.

"Roar!"

A tiger's mournful cry echoed through the forest.

The minor demons hadn't even realized what was happening when they saw their king revert to his original form and be carried away by a group of people.

"Run!"

The minor demons were terrified and scattered in all directions.

"Just one tiger is too few, let's kill a few more!" Bai Wuchen and the others targeted more demons and killed several more.

...

Li Nianfan had just returned home when Bai Wuchen and the others arrived shortly after.

"Thud."

Various rare and exotic beasts were laid out in front of Li Nianfan.

Many of them were unfamiliar to him, including two-headed wolves and three-tailed lions, all of which were enormous, making Li Nianfan marvel.

Cultivators are truly powerful; most of these are likely demons.

"We didn't know Master Li's taste, so we hunted a bit more," Bai Wuchen said.

"Thank you, you've worked hard," Li Nianfan nodded, smiling in satisfaction.

Today, thanks to the cultivators, he would have a feast.

Not only were they rare and exotic beasts, but they were also demons, a delicacy he could only dream of in his previous life.

Seeing Li Nianfan's reaction, Bai Wuchen and the others breathed a sigh of relief and smiled contentedly.

The great man's meaning was indeed to have us hunt demons. Fortunately, we understood the deeper meaning at the crucial moment.

Since they had helped, Li Nianfan felt he should reciprocate, "I can't eat all this by myself. Why don't you stay and join me?"

"Master Li, you're too kind, there's no need to..."

Zhao Shanhe instinctively tried to be polite, but Bai Wuchen pulled him back, his eyes showing a look of frustration.

Are you stupid?

I told you, the great man drinks spiritual water, and even a bowl of plain rice porridge is filled with Dao essence and tastes amazing. How can you think of refusing such a good opportunity?

You have no brains!

Even if you lose face, you must take this chance!

Zhao Shanhe came to his senses, cleared his throat, and quickly changed his words, "In that case, I will accept your kind offer."

Li Nianfan nodded and said to Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, go to the back mountain and process this meat. Slice it and prepare some vegetables. We're having hot pot today."

"As you wish, my dear master," Xiao Bai immediately went to carry out the order.

Although this wasn't the first time they had seen this, Bai Wuchen and the others still felt a deep sense of admiration.

If someone else had a spirit artifact, it would be a great joy, treated like a precious treasure, but Li Nianfan actually had his spirit artifact do chores.

The happiness of a great man is beyond imagination.

Li Nianfan smiled slightly, "You're in for a treat today. We're having hot pot."

Hot pot?

What is this?

Is it a way of eating for immortals?

Bai Wuchen and the others were puzzled but excited.

They all looked at Bai Luoshuang with admiration.

Thanks to her reminder, we understood the great man's meaning and passed the test. This must be a reward from the great man.

With some time before the meal, Li Nianfan let them look around while he gazed at the sky, thinking about whether he should add some flair to his courtyard.

Recently, he had many visitors, all cultivators.

Although he couldn't cultivate, he couldn't lack in style. Since they were cultured cultivators, he couldn't fall behind.

He wanted to make these people feel a pleasant surprise as soon as they arrived.
