Chapter 464: The Impressive Li Nianfan

　　Crunch, crunch!

　　Goddess Nuwa was mesmerized by the delicious peach. She sucked on it because she was not willing to waste any juice.

　　She could not believe that she was doing that, not even in her wildest dreams. She could not believe that she had such a weird opportunity.

　　Creak.

　　Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Daji and Fire Phoenix walked in.

　　They were puzzled for a moment. They asked, “Empress Nuwa’s awake?”

　　“Greetings from Daji and the Fire Phoenix to Empress Nuwa.”

　　Goddess Nuwa was puzzled, too. She asked, “Daji?”

　　She could see their true forms clearly. One was a Nine-Tailed Fox, the other was a Phoenix.

　　However… She was reminded of the Nine-Tailed Fox during the ‘Investitures of the Gods’.

　　It did not make any sense. The Nine-Tailed Fox was not Daji. The woman possessed by the Nine-Tailed Fox was named Daji. Su Daji was the daughter of Su Hu.

　　Goddess Nuwa felt a bit awkward. She asked politely, “Greetings. Why are you called… Daji?”

　　Daji answered, “My Master gave me the name. He probably felt like the name suited a Nine-Tailed Fox.”

　　Goddess Nuwa groaned and sighed. “I failed the Nine-Tailed Foxes.”

　　Daji shook her head. She seemed calm, “Don’t say that, Goddess Nuwa. I heard all about it from my Master.”

　　Goddess Nuwa told the Nine-Tailed Fox to leave the mountains. She only wanted to weaken the will of King Zhou.

　　However, the Nine-Tailed Fox was tempted by civilization. She became greedy because she had a taste of power. She lost her way and made a lot of sinful mistakes. Goddess Nuwa could not be blamed for her ending.

　　Moreover, there was only Karma in the eldritch world, no rights or wrongs. Everyone beneath the Saints were all insects. There was nothing substantial to argue about.

　　Fire Phoenix said, “In the words of our Master, it’s all but a fight in a dog eat dog’s world.”

　　“All but a fight in a dog eat dog’s world. What a perfect analogy that concludes the rules of the realm.”

　　Goddess Nuwa was slightly sentimental. Then, she took a deep breath. Her voice was trembling as she asked, “May I ask… Who is your Master?”

　　The place was full of Chaos Spiritual Qi and Chaos Spiritual Fruits. It was unheard of. It was too terrifying. Nobody would believe her.

　　“Our Master’s beyond our understanding.”

　　Daji shook her head. Then, she went serious. She sternly said, “Goddess Nuwa, my Master has a taboo. I hope that you remember it and stick to the rule. Otherwise…there would be serious consequences if you angered my Master!”

　　Goddess Nuwa felt her heart thump. She was listening attentively. She asked, “What taboo? Please, tell me, Lady Daji.”

　　‘The taboo of the expert. I have to know. Otherwise, if I anger him, yikes—I can’t even imagine it. So scary.’

　　“The peach you just ate is just an ordinary fruit. The air you’re breathing is just ordinary air. And my Master’s just an ordinary man.”

　　Daji paused and explained, “Of course, I know all of these things are extraordinary. But…we have to act like it’s ordinary! Got it?”

　　Goddess Nuwa processed it and nodded. “I think so.”

　　Fire Phoenix said, “Just remember to go along with my Master with his ordinary-man-act! I believe that you’ll understand later.”

　　Goddess Nuwa made a guess, “Perhaps the expert cultivates from the ordinary lifestyle?”

　　They chatted for a while. Goddess Nuwa took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself. Then, she stood up and walked out of the room.

　　She realized that the room was extraordinary. Every item was desired by Saints. Even her bed was made from Chaos Spiritual Roots.

　　Goddess Nuwa looked at the nearby door. Her heart trembled. She was afraid and anxious but she had to face it.

　　The expert saved her. She had to talk to the expert no matter what.

　　She calmed herself down and slowly walked towards the door.

　　It was only a couple of meters. However, it felt like an endless road for her. She was very anxious.

　　‘I’m about to meet the expert. He’s far more superior than my ancestors. He must be a terrifying being. How can I not be nervous?’

　　It was precisely because she stayed in the Chaos for too long. She could tell how terrifyingly powerful the expert was more than anyone else.

　　She finally opened the door as sunlight poured in. Maybe she was too nervous, but she quickly squinted from the bright sunlight. She barely saw a figure in the yard.

　　She only saw his back but she could tell that the expert was young.

　　‘Is this the bigshot?’

　　A weird robot was helping him by the side.

　　‘What kind of creature is that? Perhaps… A Spiritual Robot?’

　　Xiao Bai noticed Goddess Nuwa and said, “My noble Master, Goddess Nuwa seems to be awake.”

　　“Awake?”

　　Li Nianfan stopped in his tracks. Then, he turned around. His heart raced like crazy when he saw Goddess Nuwa.

　　That was Goddess Nuwa. His first legendary story was the story of Goddess Nuwa. She was his idol.

　　Li Nianfan knew that he was in the legendary world but he still felt like it was unreal. Goddess Nuwa was standing in front of him.

　　He hurriedly wiped away the flour on his hands with a towel. Then, he saluted, “I’m Li Nianfan. Greetings to Empress Nuwa.”

　　Goddess Nuwa hurriedly saluted, “Mr… Mr. Li, no need to be courteous. I should thank you for saving my life, Mr. Li.”

　　Li Nianfan waved it off, “It’s nothing much. I believe that you would’ve healed on your own with your level of cultivation, Empress.”

　　Empress Nuwa gracefully smiled. She did not know how to respond.

　　She started to understand what Daji and Fire Phoenix meant. The expert…was annoyingly humble.

　　Suddenly, Xiao Bai asked, “Master, the flour’s almost ready. Should I slice the Qiongqi meat?”

　　Li Nianfan replied, “Yeah… Slice it. Make sure it’s even. Also, don’t waste any of Qiongqi’s blood. We can make it into a meal, too.”

　　“Alright, Master,” said Xiao Bai.

　　Goddess Nuwa tried to stay calm. She curiously walked over.

　　She was frightened when she got a closer look. She secretly flinched.

　　‘Chaos Spiritual Water!

　　‘It must be!

　　‘The water coming out from that hose is Chaos Spiritual Water!

　　‘Chaos Spiritual Water is a sacred treasure in the Chaos. Saints treat it as the ultimate treasure. Is it…being used to wash things here?’

　　Splash!

　　The water splashed. Goddess Nuwa had trouble breathing.

　　If she discovered a small cup of Chaos Spiritual Water in the Chaos, she would have fought someone to the death for it.

　　‘However, what do I see? Chaos Spiritual Water pouring out from the tap, washing the diced Qiongqi meat.’

　　They did not blink at all, as if it was ordinary river water.

　　The meat glistened after being washed by Chaos Spiritual Water.

　　‘This Qiongqi…died so wonderfully. It’s a shame that you can’t brag after you’re dead. Otherwise, this Qiongqi could brag about it for eternity.’

　　Goddess Nuwa gulped. She felt slightly uncomfortable.

　　She was informed by Daji and Fire Phoenix. However, it was so testing to witness it herself!

　　“Empress, are you thirsty?”

　　Li Nianfan had his full attention on Goddess Nuwa. He noticed that she gulped at the water. He immediately tried to impress her. He hurriedly said, “Xiao Bai, quick. Pour a glass of fruit juice for the Empress. Mix the pear juice and the watermelon juice. The Empress should stay hydrated!”

　　It was a great opportunity for him to kiss-up to Goddess Nuwa.

　　‘This is Goddess Nuwa, man. The Saint of the realm. This is my idol. I have to impress her.’

　　“Yes, my noble Master.” Xiao Bai went along with it.

　　Soon, Xiao Bai came over with a glass. The glass contained shiny red fruit juice. It seemed to be icy, too. It looked refreshing under the hot sunlight.

　　There was a straw in the glass. It looked very fancy.

　　Xiao Bai passed the fruit juice like a gentleman, “Empress, please, enjoy.”

　　“Tha—thanks.” Goddess Nuwa carefully took it and inspected the fruit juice. She jolted again.

　　‘Fruit juice made from Chaos Spiritual Fruits!’

　　She looked at Li Nianfan with mixed emotions. She did not know what to do.

　　The expert was too nice to her. He saved her life then gave her a huge blessing, and then acted like it was not a big deal. It was hard not to feel touched.

　　The items were valuable but more importantly, the expert was so humble that he did not want anything in return.

　　His state of mind was probably why he was so powerful. He truly merged into his ordinary man character.

　　‘The state of mind of a bigshot is incomprehensible. I’m truly ashamed of myself!’ Goddess Nuwa exclaimed in her mind while she bit on the straw. She slowly took a sip.

　　Suddenly, the fruit juice went into her mouth with a ‘slurp’ sound. It touched the tip of her tongue. It was ice cold. The deliciousness bloomed in her mouth.

　　‘Wow—this tastes so good!’

　　She did not dare to converse with Li Nianfan because she was afraid that she would accidentally break the rule. She held the glass of fruit juice with both hands. Goddess Nuwa carefully tasted the fruit juice and observed at the side.

　　Li Nianfan felt uncomfortable, too. Goddess Nuwa was watching him by the side. He felt super stressed. However, he had a plan in mind. He immediately told Nanan, “Nanan, go to the Heavenly Palace. After all, they caught Qiongqi. Tell them that I’m inviting them to eat Qiongqi’s meat together. I hope they can show up.”

　　He said that because of Goddess Nuwa.

　　Goddess Nuwa was familiar with the Heavenly Palace. Li Nianfan felt awkward hanging out with Goddess Nuwa on his own. If the Jade Emperor showed up, he would have a middle man to help him socialize.

　　Then, they could enjoy a delicious meal together and chat away. It was a promising move to kiss up to Goddess Nuwa.

　　“Alright, brother.”

　　Nanan immediately nodded. Then, she headed out without delay. “Brother, I’m leaving.”

　　“Yeah. Hurry back.”
