Chapter 61: What A Luxurious Way To Die

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gulp!

Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji felt as if their heads were to explode. They could feel their blood flowing frantically in their veins.

Yao Mengji forced a smile that was more painful to watch than a cry. Trembling, he said, “Lord…Lord Dog, I’m a huge dog-lover. We’re a family!”

Blackie did not bother looking at Yao Mengji. He turned to Qin Manyun and said calmly, “I know you’re a guest of my master. You know the rules, I assume?”

Qin Manyun was shocked. She knew this dog looked familiar. Now, she finally recalled Li Nianfan had a black pet dog that looked very much like this!

Her eyes sparkled, and suddenly, she understood what Blackie meant. She said hurriedly, “Yes! I know the rules!”

Blackie nodded. “Remember, my master’s experiencing the life of an ordinary man in this realm. Don’t disinterest him. I’m just a very normal dog, so is that eagle. It’s just an ordinary mountain eagle. Understood?”

“Yes, understood. Lord Dog, please, be assured. I promise I won’t spoil his fun,” Qin Manyun nodded.

Blackie’s aura suddenly disappeared without a trace, appearing like a normal ordinary dog. He turned around coldly and left.

Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji let out a long sigh. In such a short time, their clothes had become wet from the cold sweat. The two of them exchanged a look, feeling lucky to have survived.

Yao Mengji looked at her, feeling perplexed. “Manyun, you know that…the Lord Dog?”

Qin Manyun nodded. She said seriously, “Lord Dog seems to be the pet dog hanging by Mr. Li’s side. I’ve seen him before. I thought it was just an ordinary black dog. I never would’ve thought that…”

She smiled bitterly and shook her head. She was too ignorant. The dog was hanging by the expert’s side. How could that be an ordinary dog?

“No wonder!” Yao Mengji realized. He continued, “Since the expert likes to experience life as an ordinary man, we cannot offend him! Yet, if we leave right now, it’d be rather rude. Why don’t we hide and pretend to walk into him when we see him.”

“Blackie, where’s the prey?”

Li Nianfan finally caught up with Blackie, and he followed Blackie’s gaze to see a huge black shadow flying in the air. Its massive wings were flapping majestically.

“Wow! The eagle’s huge!”

Li Nianfan’s eyes lit up. It seemed that he was in luck! He finally found prey! Once he got hold of the eagle, he could end his expedition today perfectly.

He took out the composite bow, straightened his back, and loaded the arrow. His eyes were calm and sharp—focused on the huge eagle.

He was feeling very excited. He remembered watching a drama series back in the mortal realm where the male lead shot his arrow at a huge eagle. A classic scene!

‘And today’s my turn to shine!’

Handsome posture, aimed at the target, and…

Bam!

The arrow was released, piercing through the body of the mountain eagle instantly.

Puff!

Fresh blood spurted out of it in the air.

“Hahaha! I got it! Let’s go!” Li Nianfan looked at the falling eagle. He smiled as he led Daji to the falling eagle.

Daji looked at the falling eagle. Her expression appeared rather confused and perplexed.

Why did this eagle seem so similar to the Silver Moon Demon King?

When they got closer, the confusion on her face turned into shock! It really was the Silver Moon Demon King!

Tzz…

What was all this about?

What happened to the Silver Moon Demon King’s spirit?

Suddenly, a voice rang in her ears, “Don’t be alarmed. I did this. You probably understand why.”

Daji looked at Blackie in shock. Shortly after, shock turned into a realization.

She finally realized!

‘Master wants to live an ordinary life in the shell of an ordinary man. However, there are too many shameless monsters and people who think too highly of themselves. It might end up disturbing the master and spoiling his fun of living as an ordinary man.

‘If the master had to handle these small matters himself, then we’d just be losers! When these things happen, we should clear the hurdles in his way and not allow anyone to disturb his life. Then, our master can live as a trouble-free ordinary man and experience the ordinary life!’

Daji finally found her goal. Her eyes appeared more determined than ever.

Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun cautiously approached them. They tried their best to appear natural and calm, pretending to be talking to each other.

When they walked past them, Qin Manyun said in a surprised tone, “Mr. Li, Miss Daji?”

“Eh? Miss Qin! What a coincidence!” Li Nianfan smiled as he was in a good mood after catching his prey!

Qin Manyun said, “Yeah! My teacher and I happened to pass by. Who would’ve thought that we’d bump into Mr. Li!”

“Haha! I came out to hunt and I found a little prize here,” Li Nianfan smiled while he patted Blackie’s head. “Blackie, well done!”

Woof! Woof!

Qin Manyun looked at that obedient face on Blackie and felt her throat getting dry, as if what she saw earlier was just a hallucination.

This was an Immortal Dog! The finest bigshot around actually barked like a dog, even wagging his tail?

This world was crazy!

She turned her head sideways, afraid to show her emotions.

Yao Mengji was able to calm his emotions. He said respectfully, “Mr. Li, I’m Manyun’s teacher. My name’s Yao Mengji. I’ve heard her speaking of you, and I’m pleased to finally be able to meet you!”

“You’re too polite, Mr. Yao. I’m just an ordinary man. What’s there to meet me for?” Li Nianfan said nonchalantly.

‘Ah! As expected! Mr. Li likes to live as an ordinary man! I have to be cautious not to display any sign of awe or shock! Or else the expert won’t like it!’ Yao Mengji thought to himself

Though, he was not surprised. Most experts had all kinds of ticks. Li Nianfan’s ticks were considered less absurd.

He said, “Mr. Li, you’re too humble. Your ‘Journey to the West’ is a masterpiece! And I heard you wrote a couplet! Everyone speaks highly of it. I’ve been wanting to have a peek of it at some point!”

An art lover! Yet another art lover!

Li Nianfan smiled. It seemed that he was gaining fame in this Immortal Realm. Even this old man wanted to see his works!

“If so, why don’t Mr. Yao come over to my place?”

“That’d be my greatest pleasure! Sorry to disturb you!” Yao Mengji smiled as wide as a blossoming flower.

Li Nianfan nodded. He was ready to carry the eagle away.

Who knew that Yao Mengji would be so kind as to insist on helping him carry the eagle. Li Nianfan felt bad for making an old man do such a thing, yet Yao Mengji insisted. Hence, he could not reject his offer.

Whatever! This old man was a cultivator after all! It should not be a problem carrying this eagle. With such a polite teacher, it was no wonder Qin Manyun turned out to be so polite!

Puff!

Li Nianfan plucked out the arrow that was buried in the eagle’s body and kept it.

Yao Mengji was stunned. He stared blankly at the arrow, as if he wanted to glue his eyes on it.

Enlightenment Bamboo?

It was Enlightenment Bamboo!

He did not notice it earlier and just realized that all of the arrows in the quiver were made from Enlightenment Bamboo!

Who would make arrows with such material?!

It was Enlightenment Bamboo! If they were made into arrows, then there would be one less bamboo after every shot! What a waste!

Yao Mengji’s face twitched into a weird shape in pain. He took another look at the bow and realized it was also made with Enlightenment Bamboo!

Wait!

Yao Mengji turned to look at the quiver closely!

Ah!

It was indeed made with Enlightenment Bamboo as well!

How much Enlightenment Bamboo did he actually use?!

He remembered Qin Manyun said that the Enlightenment Bamboo she brought back was just leftover material used by Li Nianfan. Now, he finally understood what she meant!

The Enlightenment Bamboo he received was the most useless from the lot, a part that the expert would not even take another look at!

He thought of how excited he was when he received the thrown-away Enlightenment Bamboo and his eyes grew wide. He was perplexed.

Was this the reality of a bigshot?

He wanted to follow him around to collect his trash!

Yao Megji took another look at the body of the Silver Moon Demon King and sighed, “Bro, you died a luxurious death! You earned this!”
