A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Niu Da: Ultimately, it's all the fault of those idiots from the Li family! If they're gone, they're gone. If they didn't seek help from the Immortal Sect, then there's nothing left to do!

Niu Quankang: Tsk, what’s the point of you saying this now.

KP: There was silence in the room for a while, and then there was the sound of someone smoking a cigarette.

Niu Da: Now that group of immortal masters have moved into that little bastard’s house. What if that little bastard talks nonsense?

Niu Quankang: No, if that little bastard still wanted to stay in the village he wouldn’t say anything. Just be patient, those immortal masters should be gone tomorrow.

Niu Da: What if they don’t leave?

Niu Quankang: What should I do... What should I do...

Niu Da: Uncle, how about we...

KP: At this point, the people in the room lowered their voices. Han Buli, you couldn't hear the content of the conversation for a moment. You only heard a terrified low cry after a while.

Niu Quankang: You're crazy! That's the immortal master on the mountain!

Niu Da: Humph, Immortal Master, what's wrong? You saw them before. They were just a bunch of little brats, barely grown. They looked like low-level disciples who had just joined the sect. Only people like them would accept commissions from a village like ours. They're just trying to scare people. If they really came to blows, we wouldn't necessarily be afraid of them.

Han Buli: Damn, this Niu Da is a bit reckless.

Niu Quankang: But...

Niu Da: Don’t be sad, uncle. Think about it, you have endured most of your life in this broken village, and now you have finally come across such an opportunity to make a fortune. If those immortal masters find out, can you still enjoy your old age in peace?

KP: The room fell silent again, except that the pipe was smoked more frequently and rapidly.

Niu Quankang: Niu Da, I know you are smart since you were young. You must have some ideas in your mind now. Tell me about it.

Niu Da: Actually it’s simple. Let’s just wait until tomorrow. It would be best if those immortal masters leave. If they insist on staying, they must have discovered something wrong. Then we will pretend to surrender and invite them to a banquet of apology. I will put some drugs in the food and wine in advance and take them down!

Niu Quankang: Can this work?

Niu Da: When the time comes, I will invite a few villagers to come over and eat together. I don’t believe that they won’t get infected.

Niu Quankang: ...What if something happens to them and the Immortal Sect comes knocking on their door?

Niu Da: Uncle, uncle, I think you've become really old and confused! Do you still want to stay in this shabby village forever? The Immortal Sect will come to settle the accounts, which will take at least ten days or half a month. Let's make a final profit. We have money and can go anywhere!

Niu Quankang:...Okay, uncle will listen to you.

KP: After taking the last long puff of their cigarette, the two people in the room discussed the specific details of the operation. Soon after, Niu Da pushed the door open and went to his room.

KP: Okay, Han Buli, you can go back now.

Han Buli: I’m going home to eat chicken.

Xiao Huohuo: Wait a minute, Old Han, if you ask me, you already know that the two Old Sixes are going to rebel, so why not just take the initiative and just fire a fireball each and it will be over.

Han Buli: But my intuition tells me that if I start making waves here, KP will most likely bring out the boss behind the scenes to kill me.

KP: (Smiles) How could that be? You all know that I’m kind to others.

Joan of Arc: The next sentence is that unruly people are not considered human beings, right?

Han Buli: Okay, I sneaked all the way back to the revolutionary base. Is there any chicken to eat now?

Romeo: It's gone. They divided the chicken and I, the watchdog, gnawed the bones.

Han Buli:?

KP: Han Buli, you are so lucky.

Han Buli: Lucky, 59/70, successful.

KP: So, you successfully dug out a still warm chicken leg from under the extinguished earthen stove. Judging from the surprised looks of Romeo and the others, this must have been left by Xiaocao just for you.

Han Buli: My family members are moved to tears. I want to adopt this sensible child.

Joan of Arc: Go away, the grass is mine.

KP: The moon was high in the sky at this time, and Xiaocao was sleeping soundly in the house. Han Buli quietly told his teammates the information he had heard. After hearing it, everyone was shocked by Niu Da's ruthlessness.

Joan of Arc: So, are we going tomorrow?

Romeo: Come on, why not eat the free meal?

Han Buli: Indeed, we four are at the second level of Qi Refining, how can we be afraid of this group of unruly people?

Xiao Huohuo: You guys are turning this Hongmen Banquet into a free meal. (laughing)

027 Late Night Chat (Day 15)

KP: During the mission, you won't be required to practice Qi Refining every day. Experience will be settled once the mission is over. Anyway, after you've eaten and drunk your fill, you each find a place in the shed to rest, and gradually fall asleep.

Romeo: Wait, where was I sleeping?

Xiao Huohuo: The room is not big enough, so Lao Luo, you have to sleep outside tonight.

Romeo: It's winter now. Don't you feel guilty about letting me sleep outside?

Han Buli: Lao Luo, don’t you know the flying rock technique that can turn soil into stone? Why don’t you just make a doghouse for yourself outside?

Romeo: That makes sense. Then I’ll just build a three-story villa!

Xiao Huohuo: What is that?

Joan of Arc: Still a doghouse.

KP: Okay, it’s late at night, and everyone is having some inspiration.

Xiao Huohuo: Inspiration, 93/30, failure.

Han Buli: Inspiration, 67/30, failure.

Romeo: Inspiration, 39/20, failure.

Joan of Arc: Inspiration, 13/60, success.

Xiao Huohuo: Reasonable.

KP: So, Joan of Arc, who was sleeping, suddenly felt as if she had fallen into a ball of mud. A cold feeling came from all directions, and her nose was filled with the fishy smell of mud, which was nauseating.

Jeanne: KP, can I see what's going on around me?

KP: You try to open your eyes, but your vision remains pitch black, as if someone has put a blindfold on you. The next moment, you hear a rustling sound, and something like vines crawl up your body, tightly binding your limbs and neck.

Romeo: Wow, there's Ace Amu.

Joan of Arc:?

KP: So, just as you felt yourself suffocating, Jeanne suddenly woke up. Looking up at the leaky straw hut above you, you gasped for air, the pain still lingering in your wrists and neck, as if telling you that what you had just experienced was more than just a dream.

KP: Joan of Arc, you have a will.

Joan of Arc: Will, 71/65, failed.

KP: Even though you've woken up from the dream, the cold feeling brought by the nightmare still lingers in your mind. You rub your sore temples, feeling that your spirit has not been rested at all.

KP: Jeanne's MP tonight did not receive a response.

KP: Then, Joan of Arc, you just listen and observe, just one of them will do.

Joan of Arc: Listening, 9/30, success.

KP: It's late at night, and your teammates are lying all over the house, fast asleep. You can hear their snoring, grinding their teeth, and talking in their sleep, which makes you even more irritated.

Joan of Arc: Damn, what kind of hell dormitory is this? I was having a nightmare. (annoyed)

KP: And just then, amidst the disturbing noise, you faintly hear low sobbing coming from the bed.

Joan of Arc: Hmm? Is the grass crying? I stood up to see what was wrong with the grass.

KP: You stood up and looked at the grass on the bed. She was still curled up in her sleeping position, but her slightly trembling shoulders allowed you to identify the source of the sobbing sound.

Joan of Arc: I gently patted Xiaocao's shoulder and asked her what was wrong?

KP: Xiaocao's body trembled when she heard your voice. Then she raised her hand to wipe her face, and then turned around with her slightly red and swollen eyes.

Xiaocao: ...Sister Jeanne, did I wake you up?

Joan of Arc: No, I was woken up by those bastards. Were you woken up by them too?

Xiaocao: No... I just dreamed about my father and mother.

Romeo: Oh, poor baby, do you need me to give you a warm hug?

Joan of Arc: It’s none of your business, get out of here.

Romeo: Okay, then I'll turn over outside the door and continue snoring.

Xiao Huohuo: BYD is quite self-conscious.

KP: After waking up from the dream, Xiaocao seemed to no longer be sleepy. She sat on the bed and looked at you awkwardly.

Joan of Arc: That’s great. I couldn’t sleep either, so I just climbed onto the bed and cuddled up to Xiaocao, and talked about some girlish things.

Xiao Huohuo: Tsk, such skillful movements, it’s obvious that Jeanne did this a lot when she was in college.

Romeo: It’s urgent, use some tentacles to wake me up, I want to see Lily Stickers!

Xiaocao: Girl, girls’ whispers…what is that?

Xiao Huohuo: Girls’ whispers refer to those things that are difficult to say in a group of four in the dormitory, and can only be said in another group of three, or in a private chat.

KP: You understand whispers.

Joan of Arc: Bah, bah, bah, don't lead Xiaocao astray. I told Xiaocao not to worry about your status or the occasion, just follow your heart and say whatever comes to your mind.

Xiaocao: (Nervously) I...I don’t know what to say.

Joan of Arc: It seems that Xiaocao is still a little reserved. I want to tell a joke to make her laugh.

Xiao Huohuo: Then tell Xiaocao, I have a friend who didn’t like to eat when she was a child. Her father lied to her and said that people who don’t eat won’t grow tall. Then she ate a lot, but in the end she still didn’t grow taller.

Joan of Arc:?

Romeo: Your friend sounds like the same person as my friend. (Thinking)

Xiao Huohuo: Or you can also tell Xiaocao about your heroic deeds of passing the second driving test after taking it five times. That is also a classic.

Han Buli: holding back laughter.jpg

Joan of Arc: You guys are going too far! (Angry)

KP: So, after hearing your dark history (Joan of Arc: Hey!), Xiaocao couldn't help laughing and finally chuckled out loud.

Joan of Arc: Kid, this is not funny.

Xiaocao: Yes, I’m sorry... Because I didn’t expect that a fairy like you, Sister Jeanne, would have such an experience.

Joan of Arc: Look at what you said. Before I became an immortal, I was just an ordinary person.

Xiao Huohuo: Ordinary person (born into a prominent family)

Han Buli: Ordinary Person (Sword Skill 50)

Romeo: Ordinary man (1.4 meters tall)

Joan of Arc: I’ll get angry with anyone who plays height jokes again!

Xiaocao: Um... Sister Jeanne, can you tell me more about your past?

Joan of Arc: Of course, then I will tell her the stories of my childhood in the military family and the interesting things that happened when I ran away from my marriage.

Han Buli: Come to think of it, Joan of Arc, why did you run away from your marriage?

Joan of Arc: Need I say more? An independent and free soul like me will definitely not be willing to be bound by a family marriage. Besides, who knows what good-for-nothing guy my family might have arranged for me. I will never marry a good-for-nothing.

Xiao Huohuo: Thank you, I was cueed. (half annoyed)

KP: After listening to your story, Xiaocao sighed half with emotion and half with envy.

Xiaocao: It’s great, Sister Joan of Arc, that you live so freely... I wish I could live like this too.

Joan of Arc: I touched Xiaocao's head and told her that you can do it too.

KP: So, with the comfort of Jeanne's chat, Xiaocao gradually relaxed, lay on the bed and fell asleep again, purring like a kitten.

Joan of Arc: So cute.

Xiao Huohuo: To be honest, Joan of Arc, you seem to be overly maternal.

Joan of Arc: This is Mother Yun’s happiness, you don’t understand.
