Chapter 98

Before long, Li Nianfan finished his practice and stood up.

Looking at Daji standing at the door, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Little Daji, where have you been?"

Daji smiled gently and said softly, "That day, I heard Master mention that the lantern was still missing a light source. Last night, I had a sudden idea and went out to look for one, and I finally found a light source."

Her actions immediately stunned the two firefly spirits, making them almost disbelieve what they were seeing.

What's going on?

Is this really the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox from last night?

They couldn't imagine that the cold and domineering Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox could have such a gentle and tender side. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

It's like she's a completely different person!

To be able to tame the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, what kind of divine being must her master be?

The two little spirits simultaneously turned their gaze to Li Nianfan, only to find that no matter how they looked, the person in front of them was just an ordinary human.

It seems that, as the Demon Emperor said, her master really likes the role of a human.

Li Nianfan was slightly taken aback and asked curiously, "Oh? What kind of light source?"

Daji picked up the bag in her hand and said with a hint of pride, "It's this, fireflies."

"Fireflies?" Li Nianfan's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, "That's a good idea, let me see it."

Daji handed the bag to Li Nianfan. From the outside, one could see many light points dancing rapidly inside, their light flickering brightly.

Daji continued, "Master, these fireflies are not small in size, and they are very intelligent. You can even command them to adjust their brightness."

"Voice control?" Li Nianfan's eyes grew even brighter. Things in the cultivation world were indeed extraordinary; everything could be voice-controlled.

He pondered for a moment and tried, "Increase the brightness!"

With the naked eye, the light in the bag visibly intensified.

"Good, good, very good!" Li Nianfan was increasingly satisfied and nodded continuously.

He looked at Daji, feeling a bit moved inside.

Just because of a casual remark, she not only thought of a solution for him but also dared to enter the forest alone to catch so many fireflies.

Even in his previous life, it would have been difficult to catch so many fireflies, let alone in the cultivation world.

To be able to bring such a beautiful and virtuous woman home was truly a stroke of luck.

However, for a weak woman to dare to act alone in the forest at night was like playing with her life.

"Next time, don't do this. It's too dangerous!" Li Nianfan deliberately put on a stern face and scolded.

Is the master concerned about me?

Yes, the master must have known that I helped my sister vie for the Demon Emperor's position and is worried that I might be surrounded by many demons.

Daji's heart was filled with sweetness, and she lowered her head, replying obediently, "Okay."

Seeing Daji's demeanor, Li Nianfan's heart softened, and he said, "I like this gift very much, you're thoughtful."

Daji's face lit up, her eyes narrowing into slits, "This is what Daji should do."

The two firefly spirits were already dumbfounded. The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was being too obvious in her fawning. Where was the Demon Emperor's aura?

Seeing Li Nianfan's gaze turn to them, the two firefly spirits immediately tensed up, trying to look ordinary and blend in with the other fireflies, "I'm just an ordinary firefly, a soulless lighting tool."

Li Nianfan held the bag and walked to the lantern, releasing all the fireflies inside.

Instantly, the large red lantern lit up, and the yellow "Fu" character also shimmered with a faint light.

The fireflies' light did not disappoint Li Nianfan. Not only was it more spiritual than ordinary lanterns, but it was also much brighter.

As for the two little spirits, they were initially curious about what level of master Li Nianfan was, but the moment they entered the lantern, their curiosity vanished, replaced by an intense sense of reverence.

The moment they entered the lantern, they felt that everything about them was bound to it, becoming an inseparable part, as if they were naturally the lantern's light source.

"This, this, this..."

They all widened their eyes, their pupils filled with extreme shock.

This was almost like directly changing the rules of the universe!

Such a technique was unheard of and unprecedented, shocking to the core!

They looked at each other, and the words Daji had said about this changing their lives came to mind.

Indeed, it changed their lives, but this change was... turning them into a lantern?

It seems a bit of a trap!

They resigned themselves to staying on the lantern's frame, their heads drooping, feeling a wave of dejection.

At this moment, one of the little spirits' eyes showed a hint of surprise. It slowly raised its head, looked at the frame in front of it, and sniffed it.

Buzz!

Its brain felt dizzy, but it also experienced an unprecedented sense of clarity, as if it had suddenly become enlightened.

For ordinary animals to become spirits, the first step is to develop intelligence, and then, based on that intelligence, they begin to deduce cultivation methods to become stronger and eventually become great spirits.

Although it had developed intelligence, the cultivation method it had thought of was only the most basic. In fact, it didn't even qualify as a little spirit. But in that moment, it had a new idea, and a gradually mature cultivation method began to form in its mind!

"This bamboo..."

It looked at the bamboo in front of it with immense shock, feeling a dreamlike sensation.

"What's wrong?" the other little spirit asked curiously.

"I just sniffed this bamboo, and then... I thought of a cultivation method."

"What? Are you dreaming?" The other little spirit looked at it in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

Without thinking, it lowered its head and sniffed the bamboo.

The next moment, its body trembled, and when it opened its eyes, its pupils were filled with shock. Even the light on its body flickered rapidly, showing extreme agitation.

How could this be?

It looked at the bamboo, its heart surging with waves of shock, its body covered in goosebumps, feeling both excitement and fear of the unknown.

What kind of divine object is this, capable of enhancing intelligence and helping one understand the Dao!

Looking at the other fireflies in the lantern, it was clear that they had changed significantly. Their eyes had a faint glow, a sign that their intelligence was about to awaken!
