Chapter 318: Fallen Immortal Realm Soap Opera
🕑 Added 2024-03-24 05:27:03 +0000 UTC"Lu Ya? This name seems a bit familiar." Reincarnated as a bird, Li Fan's ability to think quickly was suppressed, but he vaguely felt like he had heard this name somewhere.
He thought for a long time but was unable to recall.
Angry again, he began to scratch the little boy's hair with his claws incessantly. Seeing no reaction from the boy, Li Fan fiercely pecked with his long beak.
"Ouch! That hurts!" The boy's gaze finally returned from Lu Ya's departing figure.
But he mistakenly thought Li Fan was urging him to find food, hastily soothing, "Alright, alright, I know you're hungry, I'll go find food for you."
"Little Red, let's go!" The boy patted the wings of the red-crowned crane beneath him.
The crane obediently flapped its wings, its figure transitioning from stillness to motion once more, continuously zooming through the clouds.
Amidst the whistling wind, Li Fan faintly heard the boy's regretful murmurs, "Senior Brother Lu Ya is handsome and kind. Now his strength has become so strong, he's truly perfect. If the folks in Ningyuan City knew, they would surely be happy. But I don't know why Senior Brother suddenly has such animosity towards Mr. Bai. Not only does he not let me go back, he even forbids me from sending letters..."
The boy frowned, his face carrying a troubled look far beyond his age.
But Li Fan suddenly stiffened.
Ningyuan City, Mr. Bai.
These two terms instantly activated memories deep in his mind.
A yellow-haired, skinny figure suddenly appeared before Li Fan's eyes.
"It's him?"
"The plot of the Imperial Beast Sect follows the events in Ningyuan City previously?"
"The beggar boy from back then can now control such powerful demonic beasts. Just by observing its might, that tiger-faced demonic beast should be at least at the Nascent Soul stage. How many years have passed?"
"However, the techniques of the Imperial Beast Sect have long been lost. It's possible that they are able to control demonic beasts more powerful than the cultivators themselves."
"Mr. Bai... It's this mysterious fellow again."
"Why is everything I experience in the Fallen Immortal Realm related to him?"
"Once is a coincidence, but after two or three times, it's hard not to be suspicious."
Many thoughts surged in his mind, his emotions stirred, and Li Fan felt as if the little energy he had just accumulated was rapidly depleting.
Unable to control his drooping eyelids, just before slipping into slumber, he seemed to see the figure of Mr. Bai again.
...
Li Fan was awakened by a sweet fruit being delivered to his mouth.
After swallowing the fruit, waves of warmth washed over his body, quickly dispelling his drowsiness.
Opening his eyes, he saw the little boy squatting sneakily on the ground, hiding behind a spiritual plant taller than himself.
From time to time, he picked one or two plump red fruits from above and handed them to Li Fan.
Li Fan didn't hesitate to swallow them directly.
His strength seemed to have increased a bit again, and Li Fan continued to scratch the boy with his claws, indicating he wanted more.
The boy kept shuttling through the spiritual fields, taking away all the fruits that were growing the best, and handing them over to Li Fan to enjoy.
After feasting, Li Fan found the boy more pleasing to the eye.
"Alright, that's enough. If we steal too much more, we'll be discovered."
"Hehe, let's go somewhere else."
The boy adjusted Li Fan, who was perched somewhat crookedly on his head after eating his fill.
Instead of summoning the crane, the boy walked with the wind beneath his feet and headed straight for the next field.
In this way, after plundering several places, they unexpectedly encountered a peer.
"Xu Ke, what are you doing here?!"
A voice suddenly came from behind the little boy, startling him.
But when he turned around and saw the other person's appearance, the boy breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the other party, the boy named Xu Ke made a hushing gesture, lowering his voice and saying, "Of course, same as you, Song Yang. I'm feeding my demonic beast companion."
Very dissatisfied with the interruption of his eating process, Li Fan cast a hostile glance at this person named Song Yang.
He was thin, carried a gloomy look, and didn't seem like a good person.
Around his neck coiled a black two-headed snake.
One head had its eyes tightly shut, while the other head stared at Li Fan, constantly hissing.
Xu Ke subconsciously gathered his hair to hide Li Fan.
But Song Yang seemed to have heard a hilarious joke, looking at Xu Ke disdainfully: "Same as me? Are you worthy?"
"My demonic beast companion is the descendant of the Blackwater Snake God Zhu Jiuyin and has unlimited potential. Achieving Soul Transformation in the future is a certainty. It doesn't have enough to eat, so it's only natural I've come to feed it more."
"As for your strange bird, what is it? At a glance, I can tell it doesn't have any powerful bloodline."
"The saying goes, dragons birth dragons, and phoenixes birth phoenixes, while the son of a rat can only dig holes. Xu Ke, do you think that you can rely on some mongrel bird can turn things around?"
Xu Ke was just a kid. Hearing his demonic beast being insulted, he couldn't help but argue: "My bird is not bad either. Everyone says it's descended from a divine bird and in the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Song Yang.
"Descended from a divine bird? What bird? Phoenix? Vermilion Bird? However you look at it, your strange bird doesn't resemble any of them!"
"When say comforting words to you, don't take them seriously, okay? What a fool!"
Song Yang sneered and mocked, and even the two-headed snake hanging on his body mimicked his mocking expression.
"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Ke's face flushed red involuntarily, and his voice raised a few degrees.
But Song Yang seemed to want to deliberately provoke Xu Ke, not stopping at all, but rather intensifying his ridicule.
Above Xu Ke's head, Li Fan, who was already a bit impatient, heard himself being slandered by this skinny bamboo pole in front of him, and his anger flared even more.
Just as he was about to take action, Xu Ke pressed him down.
"Little fellow, don't be impulsive, you can't beat that snake. Besides, according to the sect rules, disciples are prohibited from fighting each other. If discovered, severe punishment will be inflicted. The one who initiates the fight will be punished even more severely."
"Let's just ignore him."
Xu Ke's voice also sounded in Li Fan's mind at the same time.
How could Li Fan, as someone who had reincarnated for a hundred lifetimes, not see that this fellow named Song Yang was deliberately stirring up trouble?
But the nature of the possessed bird was naturally irritable and prone to anger.
It was thanks to Xu Ke using all his strength and effort that Li Fan was barely restrained.
Otherwise, Li Fan would have rushed up long ago.
Ignoring Song Yang's cold sarcasm, Xu Ke paid no attention and left without a care.
Song Yang watched Xu Ke's departing figure, a flash of coldness passing through his eyes.
To appease Li Fan, Xu Ke took him to sweep through several circles of spiritual fields.
With different varieties of spiritual plants filling his stomach, Li Fan gradually calmed down.
For the next period of time, Li Fan spent his days eating, drinking, and growing strong like this.
