Chapter 196: Her Charm... Awesome
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Time flew by.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
It was unclear what the cultivators were busy doing, but they did not visit the expert anymore. The four-part architecture was quiet once again.
Li Nianfan went back to living a simple and peaceful life.
At the four-part architecture, there was a lightbulb, a refrigerator, a television, and other Spiritual Stones. There was also a hen that could lay a lot of eggs. It was enough to satisfy his life.
However, he was not used to the sudden silence. There was usually a crowd present.
“I’m thinking too much. I’m just an ordinary man. Why did I expect cultivators to visit me constantly? I can’t think like that! They don’t appreciate us!” Li Nianfan mocked himself.
“Daji, let’s go eat breakfast at the Fallen Town. It’s time to go out for a spin.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Daji smiled cheekily and simply packed some stuff. Then, she went out the door with Li Nianfan.
Creak.
The two of them walked out.
“Blackie, guard the house,” said Li Nianfan from afar. He had already walked into the woods with Daji.
It was the start of autumn. The morning sunlight fell upon them along with the breeze of autumn winds. It was kind of chilly.
The two of them walked on the ground full of leaves, slowly descending the mountain as they headed straight to the Fallen Town.
Soon, they were at their familiar stall.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “The usual, Soup Dumplings and two bowls of Tofu Pudding.”
“Yo, Mr. Li, our favorite guest. Welcome!” The stall owner quickly made their table and wiped their bench. He welcomed Li Nianfan to take a seat, “Hold on, I’ll serve you your meal soon.”
Soon, hot breakfast was served at their table.
Li Nianfan chuckled and sneakily took out a small plate and a small jar of vinegar.
Daji was intrigued. She said in a surprised tone, “You brought vinegar.”
“That’s because vinegar’s your favorite, so I have to bring it along,” laughed Li Nianfan.
Daji was suddenly touched. She looked at Li Nianfan with her pretty ocean eyes. “You’re so nice to me, Mr. Li.”
Her charm... Awesome!
Li Nianfan was slightly overwhelmed. He hurriedly said, “Okay, stop flirting with me. I don’t buy it. The vinegar makes the Soup Dumplings tastier and it’s also good for digestion.”
The two of them enjoyed their breakfast peacefully.
Meanwhile, at the other side of the Fallen Town.
There was a rich guy who was dressed lavishly. Behind him was a muscular man. They were walking slowly.
They walked amongst the crowd. Anyone could tell that these two were not ordinary. They could also tell that the muscular man was the rich man’s bodyguard.
The rich guy frowned slightly. There were hints of anger.
The muscular man sounded as loud as a bell as he worriedly said, “Prince, we’ve been here for five days. If we don’t go back soon, the King will blame us.”
“What’s the use of going back?” waved the rich guy. He said in a carefree tone, “I’m not going back without the mysterious man!”
“Prince, do you think a mysterious man like that exists?” The muscular bodyguard frowned. “He’s not a cultivator, yet he can save lives and heal wounds? It all sounds like a conspiracy of the people. I think it’s just a popular myth.”
“It’s our last hope.”
The rich guy sighed and looked angrier. “If it wasn’t for our useless guests, I wouldn’t have had to do this, right?”
He was enraged as he glared. “My dad treated them as the most important guests. We treated them with utmost courtesy and privilege. But they were useless! What do we need them for?!”
The bodyguard jolted fearfully. He went pale and hurriedly said, “Prince, don’t say that! Those were powerful cultivators. You’d be in trouble if this gets back to them!”
The rich guy smirked. “You said so yourself. They can’t attack ordinary people and they also can’t be involved in war! I’m a prince. What can they do about it? They don’t dare to help me rid evil, yet they can’t think of ways to solve the plague! Useless!”
“Prince, cultivators are above all that. All they want is to become Immortals. They won’t risk their cultivation journey with mortal sins.”
The bodyguard shook his head and continued, “But they have powers, and we need them for things to be successful. Also... The plague is recent news. It’s still far from us. We don’t need to worry yet.”
The rich guy glanced at him. “Preparing for the worst is the most basic rule of survival for a kingdom. You don’t have to worry about it, but I do!”
The bodyguard said, “Prince, those cultivators said that if something were to happen, they can save you and the King.”
“At that point, I won’t need any saving. Let me die with my people!”
The rich guy gestured to him to shut up. He did not want to talk about it. They continued walking along the streets.
At the breakfast stall.
Li Nianfan and Daji wiped their mouths.
Li Nianfan took out some silver. He smiled and said, “Check, please.”
“Alright. Thanks, Mr. Li.” The stall owner smiled as he accepted the silver. Then, he suddenly said, “Oh yeah, I remember. A while ago, a rich guy was here looking for you. He asked a lot of people in the Fallen Town about you.”
Li Nianfan looked confused. “Looking for me?”
The stall owner continued, “Yeah. I observed him, but I don’t think it’s something bad. That rich guy looks extraordinary but he’s quite polite.”
Suddenly, the stall owner was taken aback. He was looking at something. He quickly whispered, “Mr. Li, that’s them.”
Li Nianfan looked up and saw a guy walking toward them. He wore white robes and a crown. Behind him was a muscular man, following him closely.
That rich guy stopped frowning when he saw Li Nianfan. He quickly whispered to his bodyguard, “I need to make sure you don’t say anything stupid. From now on, zip it!”
Then, he walked towards Li Nianfan with a smile. He saluted and said, “I’m Zhou Yunwu. Greetings.”
Li Nianfan stood up and saluted, too. He introduced himself, “I’m Li Nianfan.”
Zhou Yunwu said, “Sorry for the disturbance, Mr. Li. I want to ask if it’s okay for us to sit at the same table?”
“Please do.”
Li Nianfan gestured for them to sit. Manners maketh man. There was no use rejecting someone so polite. The rich guy did not look like he had bad intentions either.
Daji got up and sat next to Li Nianfan.
“Thanks!” Zhou Yunwu looked happy. He sat across from Li Nianfan.
His bodyguard did not take a seat. He stood behind him instead.
