I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Li Nianfan stood on the skyship as he watched the scenery below him drift away. Gradually, they were hidden by a fluffy white cloud. He looked rather emotional.

This feeling was similar to one returning from a vacation.

Rather nostalgic.

Besides the minor unpleasant incident that happened during the trip, this was overall a pleasant trip that opened his eyes. He made some new friends and developed closer relationships with the cultivators.

It seemed that the teachings from the System were not useless after all. At least he could look slightly more presentable in front of the cultivators. He was probably the most successful ordinary man in this Immortal Realm.

He wondered how Blackie was doing over the past few days.

…

Inside the four-part architecture.

It was no longer quiet like the ordinary days. A tumultuous noise came from within.

A seven-tailed fox was running on the treadmill, almost out of breath. Its four short limbs moved rapidly as its fur stood on ends, dancing wildly in the air. If one looked closely, one could see a golden light emitting from its buttock—its eighth tail was getting more visible.

Xiao Bai was recording the stats beside the fox. “The little fox’s progress isn’t too bad at all. It seems that I can turn the speed up a notch.”

The little fox was instantly terrified. It screamed in a high-pitched voice, “No, I can’t do it anymore!”

The reply it got was the machine buzzing louder.

Vroom!

The treadmill sped up so much that its movement became a blur. In fact, the word ‘moving’ was no longer applicable to its speed—there were even sparks in the air due to friction.

The little fox screamed. Its skin hardened as it almost turned into a little hedgehog. Its four limbs were flying in the air, no longer visible. Finally, the four limbs turned into two. Its body straightened as it seemingly ran on two limbs.

It ran with gritted teeth. Its tiny face looked nervous.

“Look at you, that’s not bad at all! Potential needs to be forced,” Xiao Bai commented nonchalantly by the side. “Do you know why I’m training you to run?”

The little fox’s eyeballs looked at Xiao Bai, unable to speak at all.

Xiao Bai said with a serious tone, “Because…you’ll understand in the future.”

The little fox’s chest tightened up and it almost spat out blood. Its body tensed up and almost shot out from the treadmill.

On the other side, the Wild Boar Demon was in its original form. It was hanging on a grill while the Dragon Fire Pearl spat out fierce flames beneath it, grilling the boar. Its fur was thoroughly burnt along with its body that burnt bright red, especially its buttock. It was starting to turn black. A burnt smell wafted into the air as the boar cried out miserably, “Bigshot, please, let me go, bigshot! Gentler, please, could you stop burning my buttock?”

Blackie sniffed. “Hmm, you’re getting burnt.”

The Wild Boar Demon instantly smiled humbly. “Yes, Lord Dog, may I humbly request Lord Dog to flip me around? It’s time to burn the front.”

Blackie let out an extremely friendly smile. “I’m afraid not. You have to hang in there. If you’re cooked…I’ll have no choice but to eat roasted pig with tears in my eyes.”

Meanwhile, Xiao Bai walked over. After recording some data, it said calmly, “The flame can still be turned up a notch. Also, remember to add some cumin.”

Beside the Wild Boar Demon, a green giant python was frozen in a giant ice cube.

Xiao Bai asked nonchalantly, “Are you dead yet? If you’re still alive, move your eyeballs.”

After a moment, the green python’s eyelids twitched with difficulty.

“Wow! You can still move! Ice-Crystal, you’ll have to work harder.”

In the corner of the four-part architecture, the Black Bear Demon was cutting up wood with the Fallen Demon Sword in its hands. Its thick bear palm was torn open with most of its fur rubbed away from the friction. Its eyes were watery. Just as it was about to complain, it noticed the other three demons’ punishment and quickly shrunk back its head. It did not dare to make another sound and continued cutting up the wood quickly.

Suddenly, Blackie looked up in high alert. Its face looked different as it sniffed the air again. “Master’s coming back!”

The entire four-part architecture fell into a dead silence. The active Dragon Fire Pearl halted mid-air as if it was struck by lightning.

Xiao Bai quickly walked out of the four-part architecture and swiftly walked back. “Master’s really coming back! Hurry, everyone back to your positions!”

As it spoke, it picked up the little fox that was still running on the treadmill and tossed it aside. Swiftly after, it turned off the machine and quickly pushed it back into the room.

After that, a robotic voice spoke, “Butler Xiao Bai’s online. Master’s at the foot of the mountain. Everyone, please, hurry up.”

The Dragon Fire Pearl rolled back to its position beside the pile of wood. The Fallen Demon Sword flew out from the Black Bear Demon’s hands and returned to the Dragon Fire Pearl’s side.

Instantly, a loud noise was heard coming from the backyard, along with some moaning and complaining.

“Lord Dog, how could you do that? Why didn’t you tell us earlier about the master coming back?”

“Do you think master’s whereabouts are so easily traced? I can’t even predict it! If it wasn’t for my nose, none of you would’ve been able to tell even if our master’s outside the gate!”

“Hurry! Stop bickering! Right, put down the boar. And the snake. Hurry and unfreeze it!”

The Wild Boar Demon had its buttocks burnt while the Green Python Demon had its body frozen. They both fell to the floor, unable to move.

Blackie opened its mouth and sucked in vigorously.

Instantly, all the sundries and the smell in the air were sucked in and cleared up. Blackie glanced at the four demons arrogantly and said calmly, “Whoever doesn’t make it out of the yard by the time our master gets in will become his dinner tonight.”

The four demons jumped and shivered. They used whatever energy they had left to run and crawl out of the yard.

…

Li Nianfan and Daji walked up the familiar path as a sense of familiarity overwhelmed him. Home was always better than a hotel. Not to mention, his home was so well-made!

Home sweet home!

He quickened his pace and walked up the mountain. Meanwhile, a black dog ran out from the woods toward Li Nianfan.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Blackie ran toward Li Nianfan’s feet. Just like the time he left, Blackie licked his boots with its tails wagging quickly.

“Ha-ha-ha! Blackie, you missed me, eh?” Li Nianfan laughed. “Were you a good boy at home?”

‘Hmm…’ Blackie nodded vigorously.

Soon, the four-part architecture appeared in sight.

Click!

The door swung open and Xiao Bai walked out from the house. It bowed like a gentleman and greeted, “Welcome home, Master.”

“Xiao Bai. Long time no see.” Li Nianfan smiled and nodded.

He walked into the four-part architecture and glanced around. Everything was as it was with the same familiar scent!

It seemed that the courtyard had been very quiet when he was away. It felt as if he had never left. This feeling was so…great!
