Chapter 262: You All Did This To Me, And Claim To Be Nice To Me?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Law was powerful, it was the reason the world functioned accordingly. If the entire world only consisted of ordinary men, then control was possible. However, now that there were Immortals, the Immortals were all so powerful. They could easily affect the world. If there was no authority, no leader, things would be a mess with the lack of set rules.

Anyway, these were just some of Li Nianfan’s thoughts.

However, what did he have anything to do with this?

He was merely an ordinary man, he could simply live an ordinary life. Furthermore, the world as portrayed in the legend turned out to be untrue!

Yao Mengji bit his tongue. He opened his mouth and suggested, “Mr. Li, it’s still early. Why don’t you get some rest in your room?”

If Li Nianfan remained out here, God knows what other shocking things he would say. So terrifying!

“I might as well.” Li Nianfan yawned and said in an embarrassed tone, “Please, send my greetings to your Sect Mistress, I’ve embarrassed myself. I’ll make up for it tomorrow morning.”

Yao Mengji waved it off. He smiled, “Don’t worry about it, it’s nothing.”

When Li Nianfan turned to leave, the three of them exchanged looks and let out a sigh of relief in unison.

“What did the expert say?”

“I don’t know. The thunder was too loud, I couldn’t hear him.”

“Say what? I’m quite deaf, I don’t know.”

Instantly, the three of them remained in the same spot as if nothing had happened. They looked up uneasily at the sky from time to time, though.

After a moment, a figure gradually appeared, standing on a cloud. Not only did Gu Xirou successfully pass the Natural Tribulation, it was apparent that she had a makeover. Her initial roughed-up look was no longer visible. She had now become a noble Immortal.

Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun greeted politely, “Greetings to Sect Mistress.”

The Holy Emperor also greeted anxiously, “Greetings to Senior Gu.”

“Alright, the expert’s here. Don’t mind the ranking and greetings,” Gu Xirou waved it off. She then looked inside of the skyship and said in a low voice, “Where’s the expert?”

Yao Mengji said, “He’s gone back to sleep.”

“Phew…that’s good. It’ll allow me to make some mental preparation.” Gu Xirou patted her chest. She said, “Mengji, you’ve made me proud. To be honest, you’ve saved me twice, both during life-or-death situations! You’re my good disciple indeed!”

Yao Mengji did not dare to take the credit. “Sect Mistress, these are all the expert’s doings.”

Gu Xirou smiled. “I know, but you’ve pleased the expert well. That’s wonderful.”

“It’s all just a coincidence. The expert takes care of me.” Yao Mengji smiled humbly. He then hinted, “Sect Mistress, the expert has helped us so much. We should at least repay his kindness. I don’t have anything left to give him, that…”

“Of course, I know!” Gu Xirou smiled. She said proudly, “Do you think a clever Sect Mistress like me would come empty-handed? The reason I was being hunted was because of this treasure!”

Gasp…

Yao Mengji and the other two stared at her wide-eyed. They were very excited.

Yao Mengji could not wait any longer. He asked, “Sect Mistress, what treasure is it? Bring it out and let us have a look!”

“Look closely!” Gu Xirou was acting mysteriously. She flipped her wrist and instantly, a scarlet vintage box appeared in sight.

Instantly, an ancient scent circulated in the air, showing signs of its age.

The Holy Emperor commented instantly, “This box is…extraordinary!”

Qin Manyun bootlicked instantly, “Sect Mistress is indeed our Sect Mistress.”

“Ha-ha-ha! Of course! There’s Qi from ancient times circulating it. It’ll definitely please the expert!” Gu Xirou smiled faintly. “Furthermore, the thing inside must be so precious!”

Yao Mengji asked in a trembling voice, “Sect Master, stop teasing us. What’s inside?”

Gu Xirou looked at him and said, “I don’t know.”

Gasp! Hmm?

As the crowd gasped, waiting for the revelation, they halted.

She did not know?

What was that?

Yao Mengji smiled awkwardly. “Sect Mistress, stop joking. If you really don’t know, how can you say the thing inside is precious?”

Gu Xirou looked at Yao Mengji innocently, “Because even I can’t open this box, so the thing inside must be really precious! Mengji, can’t you see the reason?”

Yao Mengji was stunned. He looked at his Sect Mistress and asked, “You’re about to give an unopened box to the expert?”

“Are you a fool? Although I can’t open it, who’s the expert? Of course, he can open it!”

Gu Xiyou said with a serious tone, “Oh, Mengji. I haven’t seen you for so long, you haven’t only lost weight, your brain’s working slower, too. Remember, do control your urges from time to time!”

Yao Mengji’s lips twitched. He almost cried. He looked at his Sect Mistress and said bitterly, “Sect Mistress, you’re a genius of reasoning. I’m nothing close to you!”

…

In the Immortal Land.

At the Kunxu Mountains.

Four figures flew across the sky rapidly from a faraway land to the Kunxu Mountains.

One had to admit that the Immortal Realm and Land were vast. Even though there were many ordinary men in the ordinary realm, there were still empty lands around. In the Immortal Land, there were even more empty lands along with a small population. On top of that, demons were residing all over the place. Therefore, when one looked out, there were mostly mountains, forests, and empty lands.

The Immortals seldom came to the Kunxu Mountains, let alone the ordinary men.

“The Five-Color Sacred Cow is very distinguishable and it won’t be hiding. Therefore, we just have to capture a Demon King to ask of its whereabouts.”

Xiao Chengfeng smiled. “It’s around here.”

Daji nodded. The four of them slowed their pace and started to look around.

To keep a low profile, they retrieved their Qi and landed from the sky. They searched around by foot.

Meanwhile, a faint glow lit up under the peaceful night sky. Seven lights were shining like neon lights. They made a circle in the air before slowly disappearing.

They halted. “It appeared!”

Daji said, “Go, be careful!”

Blow…

The gentle night breeze was blowing. Soft howls of demons were heard from time to time. The entire Kunxu Mountains was the same as usual, nothing had changed.

As they gradually approached, a sense of pressure increased. Not far away, heavy breathing was heard along with the sound of footsteps.

They looked over.

They saw that outside a cave entrance down below, a Sacred Cow almost as tall as six feet was standing by the entrance. It was moving from time to time. It seemed like it was playing.

It had five colors on its body. Black and white at the front and back with three colors in between—red, green, and blue. The five colors mixed and formed all the possible combinations of colors in the world. The cow exuded a colorful glow, very miraculous.

Urchin’s eyes sparkled. He was delighted. “It seems to be a calf. The big cow isn’t home! This is our opportunity!”

Xiao Chengfeng analyzed, “The big cow shouldn’t be too far away. We can’t make a big fuss and we can’t attack with force. We can only play smart!”

The Fire Phoenix nodded in agreement. “Exactly, even though it’s a calf, it has the power of an Immortal. It’s hard to take it down within a short amount of time.”

Daji hesitated for a moment. Then, an apple appeared in her hand. “Use this. Cut it into pieces and put them in a line to trick the calf into coming over.”

Everyone fell silent.

This was too much of a luxurious bait.

The little fox covered up the apple. It took out an orange and peeled the skin. It then broke the orange into small pieces. “Sister, use this, use this.”

Meanwhile, Urchin picked up the orange skin from the ground. “Since cows eat grass, I think the skin of the orange would have the same effect.”

The four people and one fox nodded. They were all smiling.

Instantly, they distributed the orange pieces.

The Five-Color Sacred Cow was bored, looking around. Suddenly, it sniffed the air. It could not help looking up in a direction. Its eyes narrowed.

Hmph?

The smell of orange skin? So nice?

It walked over. It walked over to the orange skin, took a sniff, and then without hesitation, it swallowed it down.

So yummy! What a yummy orange peel!

It wore a look of pleasure. It looked around and saw that there was another orange peel not far away.

“Good stuff!” Its eyes sparkled as it ran over and swallowed it. Since it was too yummy, it did not have time to think of other things. All it could think of was to eat it.

Hmm? There was more in front?!

It followed the orange peel and walked forward. Unknowingly, it had walked into the forest.

If the orange peel was so yummy, how yummy would the actual fruit be? Where was the orange? Was it further ahead? How nice would it be to be able to take a bite of it!

With that in mind, it ran over even quicker.

Just as it swallowed another orange peel, it looked up to see five pairs of eyes staring at it.

“Argh?”

Instantly, it howled in terror! Its hair stood up in unison. The calf turned and ran away.

However, Daji and her group got into position. Once the calf tried to run, one of them would hold onto its hoof and the rest would pin the calf onto the ground.

“Help! Mother, save me!” the small calf cried out in fear, its four hooves kicking in the air. Its back hooves kicked Urchin in the face.

Kick!

Instantly, Urchin flew away in a straight line.

“A Five-Color Sacred Cow indeed! How powerful!” Urchin mumbled as he climbed back up. He went back up to hold onto the calf.

“Hurry, cover its mouth! Don’t let it yell!” Daji said. “Hold it down, I want to check if it has any milk!”

Meanwhile, a Five-Color Sacred Cow almost as tall as ten feet was traveling home on top of four different colored clouds.

In its mouth was a branch that was hanging with different Spiritual Fruits. It was quite a gain. Thus, it was in a good mood.

It smiled. “Daughter, look at what mother brought home.”

However, in the next moment, its voice stopped abruptly. The cow stared ahead blankly, thinking that it was hallucinating.

Daji and the four of them stopped moving. They looked at the mother cow awkwardly while the small calf was laying there with tears in its eyes.

Crunch!

The big cow snapped the branch in its mouth, its eyes almost shooting out flames. It growled, “Get off my daughter! You’re all asking for death!”

“My friend, please, calm down.” Urchin stood up. He persuaded, “An impressive expert wants to drink your milk. This is your opportunity. We came here out of goodwill. Why don’t we sit down and talk it through? You’ll thank us in the future.”

“You came here secretly to attack my daughter and squeezed her milk so violently. Now you’re telling me it’s out of goodwill?” The big cow was dumbfounded. It did not expect them to be so rude!

It was trembling vigorously out of anger. It growled, causing the ground to vibrate and crack open.

“Are you insulting my intelligence? You’re so done!”
