Chapter 407: Going for a Barbecue
Small village.
In the courtyard.
“Slept so soundly…”
Li Fan woke up from bed and stretched comfortably.
Suddenly, he felt something fluffy and very soft at his feet, and when he looked down, he saw Xiao Bai had somehow made its way onto the bed.
It curled up and slept at Li Fan’s feet, sleeping sweetly.
Li Fan couldn’t help but smile, as expected, cats are attached to their owners and like to climb onto the bed.
He gently stroked Xiao Bai.
Instantly, Xiao Bai also woke up.
“Meow meow… slept so well…”Bai Xiaoqing rubbed her head against Li Fan subconsciously, but the next moment, she felt a slight tremble in her heart.
It’s over…
No, why am I sleeping here?
What happened?!
At this moment, Bai Xiaoqing was somewhat flustered.
Did she get drunk last night and run to her master’s bed?
Meow meow… Master won’t be angry, right?… Woof, it wasn’t intentional!
She quickly jumped off the bed and squatted on the ground, looking at Li Fan with a sorry expression, and a look that said she was admitting her mistake.
“Meow meow, meow meow meow~~”
Seeing this, Li Fan was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.
This little greedy cat is really quite intelligent.
He smiled, got up, picked up Xiao Bai, and said,
“I’m not blaming you, don’t be upset, come on, I’ll go cook you some eggs.”
Li Fan immediately carried Xiao Bai out of the room.
In the courtyard, the morning sunlight scattered everywhere, and the weather was very good.
“The weather is nice today, master will take you all out for a spring outing.”
Li Fan spoke with a smile, “And, we still have a lot of meat left over from yesterday, so we can continue with the barbecue.”
At his words, a group of disciples were overjoyed!
“Wowser, we get to eat barbecue again… This time I’m going to eat lots and lots of belly pork!”
Zi Ling said excitedly, “Lu Rang, come on, pick more lettuce!”
“Master, I’ll go to the kitchen to get the seasonings!”
Nan Feng went to the kitchen excitedly.
“Master, I’ll help Lady Nanfeng.”
Gong Ya followed her there.
“Master, the barbecue grill is ready!”
In the blink of an eye, Long Zixuan had already brought out the grill.
Seeing this, Li Fan was taken aback.
These disciples, they’re too fast.
He had only just finished speaking.
However, seeing the eagerness of his disciples, Li Fan understood, they were all just craving it!
After all, who could forget about barbecues after having them for the first time!
“Not sure if the leftover meat from yesterday will be enough…”
Li Fan murmured, subconsciously looking towards the chicken flock and the fish pond nearby.
At this, the chickens immediately flattened themselves and didn’t dare to move!
In the fish pond, a group of fish became still once again!
“It’s enough, it’s enough, master, we eat very little!”
“That’s right, Master, no need for more meat!”
Suddenly, a group of disciples all hastily spoke up.
They were truly frightened, those were True Dragons and Phoenixes, after all!
Li Fan, upon hearing this, was immediately puzzled. Ever since these disciples arrived, he could no longer enjoy the fish he raised or the chickens he fed…
It was downright outrageous!
However, he nodded and said, “Alright then, let’s just make do with the leftover meat from last night.”
At his words, the group of disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The flocks of chickens and schools of fish too seemed to recover at this moment.
It was then that Wu Dade spoke with his carefree attitude:
“Master, don’t worry, if it’s not enough, we still have the dog, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Big Black Dog already bared its teeth: “Woof!”
Instantly, Wu Dade clutched his behind and fled!
Li Fan cracked a smile, then suddenly remembered something and said:
“Right, go get the bow from my study, I’ll teach you all how to hunt!”
Lately, Wu Dade, accompanied by the black dog, had brought back quite a few game animals, which made Li Fan think of this.
After all, living in a mountain village, farming, animal husbandry, and hunting were all essential survival skills.
He also had to teach them the skills for wilderness survival. Once they learned how to hunt, the villagers might have the chance to enjoy game more frequently.
At these words, many disciples were even more overjoyed!
“Master is going to hunt with a bow and arrow… That’s fantastic!”
“What kind of game is worthy of Master’s effort? It’s unimaginable…”
“I’m looking forward to it, Master shooting arrows must be a magnificent sight…”
They were all brimming with anticipation, Dugu Yuqing even ran to the study and soon brought back Li Fan’s bow!
Seeing that bow, everyone was even more astounded!
“Just by glancing at it, one can almost sense that kind of… dreadfully supreme killing intent!”
“What kind of divine object is this bow?”
They were all shocked, and at the same time, they couldn’t help but get excited!
The group promptly gathered their things and left the courtyard.
Soon after, they had reached the entrance of the village.
“Eh? Why is there a wolf here?”
It was at this moment that Nan Feng suddenly spoke up.
She had seen a white little wolf lying down at the corner wall by the village entrance!
The others were also puzzled and couldn’t help looking over.
They saw the white little wolf lying on the ground, shaking as if it were very frightened, and in front of it, there was a plant!
“No, this wolf… it looks extraordinary!”
Dugu Yuqing said gravely.
“It seems to contain some kind of strange bloodline; it’s not simple.”
Lin Jiu Zheng also spoke up.
And Lu Rang’s eyes lit up as he said, “This herb… this herb is quite interesting.”
And Lang Qianqian, looking up to see the group of people in front of her, became even more afraid!
Since last night, she had been staying right there, too scared to move.
Because moving around recklessly, she feared, could lead to being annihilated.
In a place where a cow’s stomping could destroy a Saint Emperor’s Edict, now a group of people had emerged…
What terrifying beings they must be!
When Nan Feng saw the little wolf, she couldn’t help but walk forward, crouched down, and said to the little wolf:
“Where did you come from… Are you sick?”
She reached out to pet the little wolf.
At that moment, the little wolf suddenly felt that the inexplicable pressure of the place had vanished!
“`
“Aoowww… finally relaxed!”
Little Wolf couldn’t help opening its mouth to lick the palm of Lady Nanfeng.
Lady Nanfeng couldn’t help but feel even more compassion for Little Wolf, picked it up, and turned to look at Li Fan, saying,
“Master, this Little Wolf seems pretty pitiful… Can we adopt it?”
At that moment, Lang Qianqian couldn’t help but look towards Li Fan as well.
She saw… the Pure Blood White Tiger in Li Fan’s arms!
Boom!
In an instant, Lang Qianqian’s body trembled slightly.
“I’ve found it…”
“Grandpa Siwei, I’ve found it…”
Her heart quivered.
Before Grandpa Siwei died, he told her to flee to the north because he said the person capable of restoring the White Tiger Emperor Peak was the one she had been waiting for!
Now… this man before her was keeping a Pure Blood White Tiger as a pet!
She understood everything now!
This man was the unparalleled powerhouse responsible for the restoration of White Tiger Emperor Peak, and probably also the true master of this terrifying mountain village!
Upon seeing this, Li Fan hesitated for a moment.
Wolves aren’t easy to raise…
“Master… no, isn’t this a rare animal?”
At this time, Wu Dade suddenly spoke up, taking out a Crystal Chip.
“Hmm? Two lights… does this mean that this plant is also a rare species?”
Lu Rang became even more curious.
Seeing this, Li Fan was suddenly extremely surprised!
Damn… Has my luck become so heaven-defying? At the entrance of the village, to find both a rare animal and a rare plant?
Tsk tsk, lucky indeed.
“Alright, in that case, Lady Nanfeng, you shall take care of this wolf, but you must be careful,”
Li Fan instructed.
“Thank you, Master, Lady Nanfeng will surely take good care of it!”
Upon hearing his words, Lady Nanfeng was overjoyed and immediately took out a cooked chicken egg, saying,
“How about it, are you hungry? Go ahead and eat.”
Upon smelling the egg, Lang Qianqian became excited.
Heaven…
What kind of egg is this…
It seemed to be imbued with endless Sacred Origin Qi, and just by getting a whiff, she felt as though her bloodline was reverting to its ancestors.
It couldn’t resist opening its mouth to eat the egg.
Boom!
In an instant, Little Wolf’s aura dramatically changed.
Within its body, the bloodline of the Wolf, seemed to boil because of this single egg.
Its bloodline was reverting to its ancestors!
“Aooww…”
It couldn’t help but lower its head to nuzzle Lady Nanfeng’s hand.
Utterly thankful!
“What is your name?”
Lady Nanfeng’s eyes beamed with even more affection as she immediately asked.
Lang Qianqian looked up at her, transmitting a message with a thought:
“Master… my name is… Lang Qianqian.”
At the same time, she transmitted her origins and the events of the previous day to Lady Nanfeng through telepathy.
Lady Nanfeng was immediately taken aback, Lang Qianqian was actually a descendant of the Primordial Heavenly Wolf Clan.
And to think that last night, while they were drunk at the village entrance, such a huge event had unfolded…
With this thought, she became somewhat conflicted and looked towards Old Yellow Bull and Big Black Bull working in the fields not far away!
That Old Yellow Bull… truly a creature raised by Master!
So heaven-defying!
She took a deep breath, turned to look at Li Fan, and said, “Master, this Little Wolf’s name is Qianqian.”
Li Fan smiled and also stepped forward to gently pat Little Wolf’s head, saying, “Since you’re here, from today onwards, you’re part of the family.”
“Just follow Lady Nanfeng closely.”
Upon hearing this, Little Wolf wagged its tail, whimpering softly as if responding to him.
Seeing this, Li Fan felt even more relieved; it seems this wolf does understand human emotions.
“By the way, Lu Rang, take this plant back with you to plant in the yard.”
He spoke to Lu Rang.
This plant was a rare species too, and it certainly shouldn’t be allowed to die.
“Master, don’t worry, raising plants is what I do best!”
Lu Rang said, puffing out his chest, and picked up the Divine Blood Herb.
“Let’s go, get the barbecue ready.”
Li Fan spoke up and led his disciples and others on their way again.
…
Meanwhile, at this moment.
In front of the Northern Desolation.
Armies assembled, the terrifying Royal Family Airships blocked out the sun.
“Report!”
At that moment, a messenger flew in, saying, “To report to the Saint Master, the Celestial Tribe has sent word that within this Great Wilderness, there exists a terrifying unknown entity.”
“The Saint Master and others of the Celestial Tribe perished there just days ago.”
The messenger spoke to the Golden-Winged Peng Tribe’s Saint Master, Jin Yangyao.
Jin Yangyao’s face turned cold, saying, “As expected.”
“It would have been weird if there weren’t any ghosts where the Snow Emperor’s War Banner reappeared.”
“By the way, Saint Master,”
At this time, the messenger continued, saying,
“Besides, the Celestial Tribe has also sent their Acting Saint Lord, Tian Haoqing, along with their Quasi-Saint Son!”
“Apparently, their Quasi-Saint Son has been into the Northern Desolation before and safely returned; he can lead us!”
Upon hearing this, Jin Yangyao also couldn’t help feeling delighted, saying,
“Oh? That’s good, bring him to me!”
The Acting Saint Lord of the Sky-Human Tribe, Tian Haoqing, came forward with a middle-aged man!
That man was none other than Ao Wushuang!
Ao Wushuang trudged along, overwhelmed by the sight of so many members of the Royal Clans, the Imperial Clans, and others.
He really didn’t want to come.
But he was coerced by the Celestial Tribe, utterly powerless to resist!
Now, seeing the formidable lineup of the Imperial Allied Forces, it seemed he had no choice but to go.
He resolved to go all in!
“Saint Master Jin, I am Tian Haoqing, the Acting Saint Lord of the Sky-Human Tribe, here to offer support!”
Stepping forward, Tian Haoqing gave a slight smile and stretched out his hand to Ao Wushuang, saying,
“This is our Quasi-Saint Son; he has previously entered the Northern Desolation and knows the way well.”
Ao Wushuang took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said through gritted teeth, “I am the Quasi-Saint Son of the Sky-Human Tribe, Ao Wushuang… here to lead the way for everyone!”
“Please rest assured, with me here, it should… be very stable!!”
