Chapter 62

**Thud.**

Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji felt as if their scalps were about to explode, their veins seemed to surge in reverse, and they involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Yao Mengji forced a smile, more hideous than a cry, and trembled as he said, "Sir... Sir Dog, I am a dog lover, we are all one family."

Dahei ignored Yao Mengji and looked at Qin Manyun, saying calmly, "I know you are the master's guest. Do you understand the master's rules?"

Qin Manyun was taken aback. She had always found Dahei familiar, and now she finally remembered. Didn't Master Li have a black dog? It seemed to be this one.

A light bulb went off in her head, and she immediately understood Dahei's meaning. She hurriedly said, "I understand! I understand the rules!"

Dahei nodded, "Remember, my master is currently experiencing the life of an ordinary person. Don't ruin his fun. I am just a very ordinary stray dog. As for that eagle, it's just an ordinary mountain eagle. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, Sir Dog, rest assured, we guarantee we won't give anything away!" Qin Manyun nodded repeatedly.

Dahei's imposing aura suddenly vanished, and he looked no different from an ordinary stray dog. He turned and left with a high and cold demeanor.

Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji let out a long sigh of relief. In such a short time, their clothes were drenched in cold sweat.

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of relief after a close call.

Yao Mengji asked with difficulty, "Manyun, do you know that... Sir Dog?"

Qin Manyun nodded, her expression serious, "Sir Dog should be the stray dog by the master's side. I've seen him before, but I thought he was just an ordinary black dog. I never expected..."

She shook her head with a bitter smile. She was truly foolish. How could a dog by Master Li's side be ordinary?

"No wonder." Yao Mengji was suddenly enlightened. He then said eagerly, "Since the master likes to experience life as an ordinary person, we must not offend his taboos! But leaving now would be impolite. Why don't we hide and pretend to meet by chance?"

"Dahei, where is the prey?"

Li Nianfan finally caught up with Dahei. Following Dahei's gaze, he saw a huge black shadow flying in the sky, its massive wings flapping vigorously.

"Wow, what a huge eagle!"

Li Nianfan's eyes lit up. It seemed his luck was good, and he had finally found his prey!

If he could bring down this eagle, today's hunting trip would be a perfect success.

He took out his ox horn bow, bent down, and nocked an arrow. His eyes were calm yet sharp, aiming directly at the large eagle.

He was slightly excited. He remembered that in TV dramas, whenever someone bent their bow to shoot a large eagle, it was always a classic scene. Today, it was his turn, Li Nianfan's turn!

The posture had to be cool, and the shot had to be accurate.

*Whoosh!*

The arrow shot out and, without a doubt, pierced the mountain eagle's body!

*Pfft!*

A spray of blood splattered out.

"Ha ha ha, I hit it! Let's go!" Li Nianfan smiled, looking at the eagle falling straight down. He headed straight for the eagle with Daji.

Daji looked at the falling eagle, her face showing a hint of confusion.

This eagle looks so much like the Silver Moon Demon Emperor.

As they got closer, her confusion turned to shock. It was indeed the Silver Moon Demon Emperor!

*Hiss—*

What's going on?

Where is the Silver Moon Demon Emperor's demonic power?

Suddenly, a voice whispered in her ear, "Don't be surprised, it was my doing! You should understand what I mean."

Daji looked at Dahei in surprise, then her expression turned thoughtful.

I understand!

The master likes to experience life as an ordinary person, but... this world is full of despicable people, and demons and monsters run rampant, inevitably causing trouble for the master and affecting his enjoyment of ordinary life.

If we have to bother the master with such trivial matters, we would be failing him.

In such situations, we need to pave the way for the master's cultivation, ensuring nothing interferes with him! Let the master experience life as an ordinary person without any worries!

She immediately found her goal, her eyes becoming even more determined.

Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun approached cautiously, trying to keep their expressions natural as they walked and talked.

When they happened to pass by, Qin Manyun exclaimed, "Master Li, Lady Daji?"

"Ah? Miss Qin, what a coincidence." Li Nianfan, pleased with his successful hunt, smiled and said.

Qin Manyun hurriedly replied, "Yes, my master and I just happened to be passing by. I didn't expect to run into Master Li here."

"Ha ha ha, I went hunting and had a decent catch." Li Nianfan smiled, patting Dahei's head in praise, "Dahei, you did well."

"Woof woof..."

Qin Manyun looked at Dahei's obedient and gentle appearance, feeling her mouth go dry. She almost thought she had hallucinated seeing Dahei earlier.

This is a dog immortal! An absolute top-tier existence, and he's barking and wagging his tail?

Oh my, this world is too crazy!

She quickly turned her head away, afraid of giving anything away.

Yao Mengji, having composed himself, said respectfully, "Master Li, I am Manyun's master, Yao Mengji. I've heard her mention you many times, and today I finally get to meet you in person."

"Mr. Yao, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary person, there's nothing special about me." Li Nianfan said.

Indeed, Master Li likes to consider himself an ordinary person. I must be careful not to expose him and offend him.

He found nothing strange about it. High-level cultivators often had various peculiar habits, and Master Li's were quite normal.

He immediately said, "Master Li, there's no need to be modest. Your *Journey to the West* is truly a masterpiece, and I've also heard that you wrote a couplet that everyone considers divine. I've been eager to see it for a long time."

A man of culture, definitely a man of culture.

Li Nianfan smiled. It seemed he had gained a bit of fame in the cultivation world's cultural circle, even attracting such an old man to come and observe.

"Then, Mr. Yao, why don't you come to my place for a chat?"

"I would be honored. I'll be a bother, then." Yao Mengji's face lit up, and he quickly agreed.

Li Nianfan nodded, preparing to carry the eagle away.

However, Yao Mengji, being overly enthusiastic, insisted on helping him carry the eagle.

Letting an old man do such a task made Li Nianfan feel uncomfortable, but the other party was so enthusiastic that he couldn't refuse.

Fine, this old man is a cultivator, so carrying an eagle shouldn't be a problem for him.

With such a master to teach her, it's no wonder Qin Manyun is so polite.

*Pfft!*

Li Nianfan casually pulled the arrow out of the eagle's body and put it back in his quiver.

Yao Mengji was stunned, his eyes fixed on the arrow, wishing he could glue them there.

Enlightenment bamboo?

It's really enlightenment bamboo!

He hadn't noticed it earlier, but now he saw that all the arrows in Li Nianfan's quiver were made of enlightenment bamboo!

Who would be so extravagant as to make arrows out of enlightenment bamboo?

That's enlightenment bamboo! Making arrows out of it means one less piece with each shot. How wasteful!

Yao Mengji's face twitched with pain.

Looking at Li Nianfan's ox horn bow, he saw that it also used a lot of enlightenment bamboo.

Wait a minute!

Yao Mengji turned back and stared intently at the quiver!

*Hiss—*

It was also woven from enlightenment bamboo!

Oh my, how much enlightenment bamboo must that be!

He remembered Qin Manyun saying that the enlightenment bamboo she gave him was just a leftover piece from Master Li's work. Now, he completely believed her.

The piece he received was just the worst part of the enlightenment bamboo, which Master Li didn't even care about.

Thinking about how excited he was to get that discarded piece of enlightenment bamboo, Yao Mengji's eyes became particularly complex.

Is this the world of the elite?

I really want to follow Master Li and collect his trash.

Looking at the body of the Silver Moon Demon Emperor, he couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, your death was so extravagant, it was worth it!"
