I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot Chapter 109

The three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain in the afternoon the next day. Although they did not sleep, they felt energetic—full of anticipation and excitement!

They were about to meet the expert! Who would know if the expert would be pleased by this Abalone Demon!

Halfway walking, the Holy Emperor stopped in his footsteps.

“Father, what is it?” Luo Shiyu asked curiously.

After a moment of thought, he said, “I feel that it isn't very appropriate for me to go with the two of you.”

Hmm?

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun looked at him, confused.

The Holy Emperor smiled. “I'm an old man. What fun is there for me to go with the two of you? Although Mr. Li's an expert, he's a man after all. Men and women get along better. He might not be pleased if I tagged along.”

The Holy Emperor would do anything to avoid any chance of offending the expert. Although Li Nianfan was an expert, who knew what his thoughts were? Perhaps he liked beautiful women? If not, why would Daji be by his side?

Furthermore, even if the expert did not think so, it was naturally easier for men and women to get along. Why would he take the risk of offending the expert? However much he wanted to get closer to the expert, he was more terrified about annoying him!

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu looked at each other, blushing. Although they knew that they had no chance with the expert, they could not help fantasizing about it.

Luo Shiyu said, “Alright, father. We'll go without you then.”

The Holy Emperor nodded and reminded, “Okay, be careful. Don't offend Mr. Li. Also, take note of the deeper meanings he implies!”

“I know,” Luo Shiyu said. With that, the two of them continued walking up the mountain.

Soon, they arrived at the four-part architecture. They could not help feeling nervous.

This was the second time the two of them came together. The first time they came, they even played chess with the expert and lost terribly. How embarrassing!

Qin Manyun asked, “May I ask if Mr. Li's home?”

Li Nianfan answered with a languid voice from inside, “Yes, come on in.”

Click!

Xiao Bai opened the door.

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun said, “Good morning, Xiao Bai.”

Xiao Bai answered, “It's almost noon already!”

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu smiled and walked into the four-part architecture.

Li Nianfan was observing the growth of the Spiritual Herbs in the inner court. He said to them, “Oh, it's you! Good morning!”

Daji was sitting on the stone chair by the side, studying the chessboard. She merely nodded at them.

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun became nervous. They said in unison, “Greetings to Mr. Li, Miss Daji.”

Li Nianfan already knew what they were here for. He smiled at Qin Manyun, “Have you received the music sheet?”

“Yes, I did. Thank you for sending it over. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused,” Qin Manyun said apologetically. “We happen to have some wild meat here. We hope you like it.”

Qin Manyun raised her hand. Instantly, a dead human-sized abalone appeared in the inner court.

“Wow! What a big abalone!” Li Nianfan looked at the abalone in awe and shock. He then smiled. “You're too kind! You guys always show up with gifts!”

So polite! So very polite!

How nice it was being friends with these educated cultivators!

Gave her a music sheet, and she instantly brought over a gift! Such great etiquette!

Judging from the head of the abalone, it could be a demon!

No wonder this was the Immortal Realm, even the abalone could be so huge! This was the benefit of befriending cultivators—they could hunt demons! How would this be possible back in the previous realm? Unimaginable!

Looking at the expert's look of satisfaction, Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu were delighted. They said, “We're glad Mr. Li likes it.”

Luckily, they understood his hint. It seemed that the expert was very impressed.

“An extra dish for lunch today! Why don't I make an abalone herbal soup?” Li Nianfan licked his lips. “I haven't had it for some time.”

The two favorite ways he liked to have abalone was either in an abalone soup or steamed in egg. Abalone was fresh and tasty. It came with many benefits. These two ways of cooking it would unleash its full flavor while retaining most of its nutrients.

Unfortunately, there was no egg here. Nonetheless, abalone soup was not a bad choice either. Just like the eagle soup, he could use the Spiritual Herbs as condiments and it would be delicious!

“Would you like to stay for lunch?” Li Nianfan asked nonchalantly. Since they brought this all the way here, he had to be polite.

Luo Shiyu halted, and her heart started beating rapidly. Her little hands clenched into fists, feeling uneasy and excited. “I…can we?”

“Why not? Daji and I can't finish such a huge abalone anyway.” Li Nianfan was amused. They must have missed his food but they were just too embarrassed to say it.

'To win over a cultivator's heart, one had to first win over their stomach! I bet I'm the only ordinary man with so many cultivators as friends in this Immortal Realm!' he thought to himself.

“But you might have to wait for a while, it takes some time to cook it,” Li Nianfan continued.

“No problem, we can wait,” Luo Shiyu said hastily, afraid that Li Nianfan would change his mind.

Li Nianfan nodded and started sizing up this huge abalone. His first impression of it was how huge it was! Then, he noticed the faint pattern on its shell. It seemed unique. It almost had a faint glow.

The shell would make good defense material.

The outlook of the meat was similar to the abalone in the previous realm, just that it was of a darker shade and had thorns around it.

He would not be able to fit the entire abalone into the pot. It had to be sliced first.

Li Nianfan narrowed his eyes and said to Xiao Bai who was sharpening the knife. “Xiao Bai, it's showtime. Remember to retain its sweetness in the soup.”

Xiao Bai walked over and said, “Don't you worry, my dearest master. Your professional Chef Xiao Bai is ready.”

“I'll sit here and wait, then.” Li Nianfan laughed and sat opposite Daji. Since Xiao Bai was preparing the meal, he could play a few rounds with Daji.

Since he had a robot around, he did not have to wash or prepare dishes. Or else, what good was the robot for?

Li Nianfan said to Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun, “Oh, right. Do feel free to walk around. You can also watch her play chess.”

He did not invite these two women to play with him. They were such bad players and he was not interested.

“Okay.” Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun nodded.

They had no courage to walk around, so they remained seated on the chairs. Although the expert gave them permission to walk around, who had such courage to do so? Did he think they were dumb enough to do so?
