Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Why now? No, we have to leave quickly. Come on, I'll go with you to fetch the doctor! Maybe we can still make it in time."

"Village chief, no need to find a doctor, amazing!" Liu Er hurriedly stopped Liu Dexi and said anxiously.

"At a time like this, instead of thinking of calling a doctor, you're thinking of finding a miracle worker? Liu Er, your father is so desperate that he believed that nonsense. You're usually so clever, how come you've become so muddled too? You're even more confused than this old man!"

"Brother Bai is capable, Grandpa, Village Chief, please lend us the cow." Liu Er pleaded with Bai Dexi, his voice choked with emotion.

"Sigh, sigh," Liu Dexi sighed twice, turned around, and shook his head repeatedly: "What a tragedy!"

Liu Dexi went into the cowshed, woke up the old ox lying on the ground, stroked its neck soothingly, and, pulling it along, said to Liu Er, "Alright, let's go!"

"Grandpa Village Chief, you're going too!" Liu Er looked worriedly at the village chief's already white beard.

"Of course, if I don't go, my old buddy is stubborn, and you might not be able to take him with you. Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. Although I'm old, I'm still in good health and can keep up."

Liu Dexi pulled the old ox, signaling Liu Er to lead the way.

"Now that things have come to this, I can't persuade you anymore. So let's do as you say. But if you two are left in this state, you'll probably be sold out and still have to count the money for them. By the way, let me see what kind of person is capable of fooling you two so well."

"Grandpa Village Chief, Brother Bai really didn't lie to us, and he's really amazing!" Although Liu Er was anxious about his mother and needed the village chief's help, he wanted to defend Bai Li after hearing Liu Dexi speak ill of him.

However, the village chief's responses became increasingly perfunctory, and Liu Er knew that he could not persuade the village chief.

"Grandpa Village Chief, once you meet Brother Bai, you'll see that everything I said is true!"

"Yes, once you meet the person, you'll know whether they're real or fake."

Liu Dexi muttered to himself as he led the yellow ox along the forest path. The closer he got to that place, the more restless he became. Although he didn't want to believe it was real, a strange sense of anticipation and longing welled up inside him.

Whether it was the magical wheat that supposedly grew in a week, the chicks that grew instantly, or the strange creatures that remained unstained, they all stirred his imagination.

Oh, if a deity really descended to earth, then...

"Father, you've finally arrived!" Liu Er shouted from the side.

Hearing the commotion, Liu Dexi finally came to his senses. He turned around and looked up, only to see Liu Er's sister carrying a basket on her back and holding a machete, clearing the way in front of her, while Liu Da was carrying Ye Lan on his back, rushing towards them.

"Liu Er, how long have we been walking? How much further do we have to go before we reach our destination?" Liu Dexi asked.

"Grandpa Village Chief, we've been traveling for about half an hour, and we'll be there soon."

"Has it been this long already?" Liu Dexi muttered to himself.

I can't think about this anymore!

Liu Dexi cut off his own thoughts, becoming even more convinced that the other party was a swindler.

He was afraid, afraid that even if he had the slightest bit of faith or expectation, he would be utterly disappointed when the other party's true colors were revealed.

Even more so, he had an urge to rush back right now and not see Bai Li, so that at least he would still have the right to have doubts.

"No wonder they were so convinced. They hadn't even met the other party; just from what Liu Da and Liu Er said, they were willing to believe the scam was real!"

"Grandpa Village Chief, what are you muttering about?" Liu Er asked.

"It's nothing," Liu Dexi shook his head. He looked around and asked, "Were the trees around here also cut down by that White Immortal Lord? If I remember correctly, there should have been a small grove of trees here, but now only some saplings remain."

"Yes, I saw Brother Bai about to cut down a tree when I came here a few days ago."

Do you know where all those trees went?

The real challenge with trees is transporting them, not cutting them down. In the past, when government officials came, it would take at least ten people to move them. How did he manage to move them all by himself?

"I don't know, it was like this when I came, I didn't see any wood on the ground."

Seeing Liu Er's blank expression, Liu Dexi knew that everything would become clear once he saw the so-called White Immortal.

After meeting up with Liu Dahui who had arrived, Liu Er took the machete from his sister and walked at the front. The group hurriedly headed into the depths of the forest.

During this time, Liu Dexi would occasionally glance at Ye Lan and sigh.

He was already seriously ill, and was only kept alive by the medication.

Now his condition has worsened, and although Liu Da tried his best to keep his balance along the way, he still couldn't avoid the bumps and swaying. The cold wind in the early morning was too much for his body to bear!

At this moment, Liu Da suddenly stopped, looking ahead with joy, his previously hurried steps now becoming cautious.

Is this... nearby?

"Have we arrived?" Liu Dexi asked in confusion.

"arrive."

"Then why are you taking smaller steps? Since we're almost there, shouldn't you be walking faster? This is a matter of life and death! At this point, surely the Immortal Lord won't blame you!"

"Yes, Dad, let's hurry over there," Liu Er said, cutting down the weeds and branches blocking the road.

"Look, great! Brother Bai isn't asleep yet. He seems to still be fishing!" he shouted excitedly from ahead, as a sliver of light peeked through the dense bushes.

"Fishing?" Liu Dexi was full of questions.

Where is there a river around here? The nearest stream is a kilometer or two away, not to mention that it's basically dried up now. How are we supposed to fish here?

Liu Dexi hurried forward and saw a richly dressed young man sitting leisurely on the ground, holding a wooden fishing rod and fishing in a small pond about a meter deep.

Numerous torches were stuck in the ground to provide light. Behind the boy was a strange box-like structure, which Liu Dexi guessed was his residence.

He also saw the wheat growing strangely and unevenly inside the fence; some were already half a meter tall, while others were just sprouting.

But what concerned him most was the pond and the boy fishing there.

The water in the pool was very shallow, and the surrounding light was very bright. Although Liu Dexi's eyesight was a little blurry, he could still see that there wasn't a single fish in the pool.

How could you possibly catch a fish like that?

And why is it a teenager?

Shouldn't immortals be ethereal and otherworldly, majestic and awe-inspiring, and transcendent?

This young man seemed more like a noble young master who had wandered out of some mansion, exuding the scholarly air of a learned man.

"Hahaha, I knew it! It was a scam, a fake, a fake!"

A sense of helplessness and loss welled up in Liu Dexi's heart.

This world is truly beyond saving!

From the moment he saw the boy by the pool, only a few seconds had passed, and Liu Dexi had already been thinking a lot. Just then, he suddenly noticed that the fishing rod trembled strangely.

Slide~

"This is!!!"

Liu Dexi's eyes widened. He suddenly saw the boy get up and reel in his line. A large fish, about half a meter long, jumped out of the pool as the line was reeled in, then turned into a golden light and disappeared into the boy's body.

His heart was pounding, and only one thought remained in his mind:

Really is,

immortal?
