Speaking of the refrigerator, Li Nianfan couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.
His gaze turned to the distance, filled with reminiscence.
He wasn't thinking about keeping vegetables fresh in the fridge; in fact, he never liked eating vegetables that had been in the fridge. What he was thinking about was cold drinks!
Iced drinks, or an iced watermelon, are so refreshing to eat!
After just finishing the soup, if he could now have a can of iced soda, it would certainly be very pleasant.
This scene was seen by Lin Mufeng.
His heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this refrigerator was very important to Young Master Li, so he had to complete Young Master Li's request even more!
In the next moment, he was slightly stunned.
He watched as Li Nianfan picked up the clay pot and walked towards the back yard.
If I'm not mistaken, he's probably planning to pour it out...
Lin Mufeng's pupils dilated, and his heart clenched.
To watch such a divine soup be poured out would be a torment for him.
Seeing Li Nianfan about to leave the back yard, he couldn't help but feel a surge of passion, and blurted out, "Young Master Li, please wait a moment."
"Hmm?" Li Nianfan looked at Lin Mufeng.
Lin Mufeng felt his scalp tingle, and his blood froze in fear. He steeled himself and said, "Young Master Li, are you planning to pour out this pot of soup?"
Li Nianfan nodded and said, "Yeah, it won't keep anyway."
"That... such a delicious soup would be a waste if it's thrown away. I wonder if I could... take it with me?" Lin Mufeng felt his throat dry up. This sentence seemed to have drained all his strength, and he didn't dare to look at Li Nianfan.
He tried to appear normal, but he was on the verge of being scared out of his wits.
"You want to take it to go?"
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, and his good impression of Lin Mufeng increased instantly.
A refined person, indeed!
This is about not wasting food!
At the same time, his ego swelled. See, even a cultivator wants to take my food to go, clearly, his stomach has been captured by me!
"Um-hmm." Lin Mufeng nodded and quickly added, "If not, it's fine."
"What's the problem with that? It's a small matter." Li Nianfan smiled and returned.
Unbeknownst to him, in the inner courtyard, countless roots emerged from the ground, waving wildly, showing extreme agitation.
At the same time, Lin Mufeng involuntarily shivered, feeling as if he was being watched by a powerful presence, giving him a chill.
He looked around, feeling uneasy and bewildered. What's going on?
I've practiced for a thousand years, always keeping a low profile, being obedient and cautious, and should not have any enemies.
Was it just an illusion just now?
He calmed his mind and looked at Li Nianfan.
He saw Li Nianfan take out a square transparent box and pour the remaining soup into it.
"Click."
Li Nianfan closed the lid and handed it to Lin Mufeng, smiling, "Don't be surprised, this is a take-out box, specifically for carrying food."
I never thought I would use a take-out box one day. There are a bunch of these in the system space, and Li Nianfan always considered them the least useful items.
"I'll take it, thank you, Young Master Li." Lin Mufeng took the take-out box with both hands and then respectfully said, "Young Master Li, we have troubled you for a long time, it's time to take our leave."
Lin Qingyun also stood up and bowed, "Young Master Li, thank you for your hospitality today."
Li Nianfan waved his hand, "No need to be polite, see you later."
...
After leaving the courtyard, Lin Mufeng's expression turned serious, and he said, "Qingyun, have you guessed what the expert meant by the refrigerator?"
"Father, if you don't know, how could I?" Lin Qingyun shook his head with a bitter smile, then pondered for a moment and said, "However, it's definitely not an ordinary thing, at least it must be a treasure!"
"You're thinking the same as me. Its value is likely no less than the Dharma Relic!" Lin Mufeng said solemnly, "The expert didn't say it outright, but the hint was very clear. We must do our best to find it. We have received such great kindness from Young Master Li today, we must not let him down!"
Unnoticed, a thread of black light slowly appeared on his right arm, then disappeared.
At the same time, in a dark corner millions of miles away.
A shadow suddenly trembled, and its eyes snapped open!
Whoosh!
Layers of black mist spread from his body, rippling, showing his extreme agitation.
"It's the aura of the Demon Sword!" His voice was hoarse, his eyes flashing with malevolent light, looking in a certain direction in the sky.
Since the Sword Demon disappeared mysteriously, the Demon Sword also vanished without a trace. Now it has finally reappeared!
"Follow this aura, send someone to retrieve it!"
...
Lin Mufeng, who was discussing the refrigerator with Lin Qingyun, shivered again, feeling a chill that made his eyebrows furrow.
What's going on?
Am I really being watched by some existence?
Am I about to have bad luck?
He worriedly tightened his grip on the soup, and said seriously, "Qingyun, we have such precious soup. To prevent any mishaps on the way, we need to hurry back!"
Lin Qingyun nodded in agreement.
The two immediately rode their flying light and headed towards the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion.
Inside the courtyard, Li Nianfan had Xiao Bai clean up the leftovers, while he continued to play chess with Daji.
"Hmm?"
Li Nianfan looked at the chessboard, slightly stunned, then laughed, "You solved the chess puzzle?"
"Um-hmm, a flash of inspiration helped me solve it." Daji nodded, her beautiful eyes looking at Li Nianfan with earnestness, almost saying, 'Praise me!'
"Ha-ha-ha, not bad, you've made progress. Your little brain is quite smart, but this puzzle is just a basic one. You need to keep practicing."
Li Nianfan laughed and gently poked Daji's nose, then said, "I always keep my promises. If you can solve the puzzle, I'll give you a gift as a reward."
He pondered for a moment, walked to the door, took down the smooth jade pendant, and handed it to Daji, "Most of the things I have are more masculine, but this jade pendant suits you."
This jade pendant was the one Luo Shiyu gave when she first came. The material was excellent, and after Li Nianfan's later processing, the carving was perfect. If it were in the previous life, it would be a priceless treasure.
And it was feminine, he had long wanted to give it to Daji.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Daji's face lit up with joy as she took the jade pendant, caressing it lovingly, "Young Master is so good to me. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask Daji."
Li Nianfan's heart skipped a beat, "Cough, cough, I told you, no need to be so formal with me."
