Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The layout is simple and ordinary.
"Hello, is anyone home?" The princess shouted at the door.
Click!
Door opened.
Li Nianfan peaked from the door, this was the first time in five years a visitor had appeared at his door. His eyes sparkled in admiration when he saw a beautiful woman standing before his door.
'Could this be God answering my prayers? I asked for a boyfriend and now He sent me one?’ He quickly lost his mind.
The woman exuded a delicate Qi feeling and she looked like a cultivator. With her elegant demeanor and outlook, she was most likely from a noble family. How did he want to get into a relationship with Li Nianfan?
At the same time, the Princess judged Li Nianfan as she did her. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes when he found out that he was just an ordinary man. He was expecting to meet with a hidden expert who could help him solve the difficult situation he was in at the moment.
Nevertheless, since he is already here, he said in a natural and calm tone, “It is nice to meet you, I am Luo Shiyu. Can I come in?"
“Of course can.” Li opened the door and gave way for him to enter.
He had no reason to reject this cultivator, who was also a beautiful woman. Anyway, it's good to make some friends.
"Thank you." Luo Shiyu entered the house with his servant.
When entering, the rocky road leads to the inner court. Across the street was filled with various kinds of colorful plants and flowers, releasing an intoxicating scent. It pleases the eyes and senses. In the middle of the courtyard stood a beautiful pavilion surrounded by living rooms and bedrooms.
Luo Shiyu felt a wave of calm peace as he set foot in the courtyard, as if the courtyard had some sort of mysterious power to calm the soul.
Robot walks out of the room, welcoming guests in a friendly tone, “Welcome home.”
Surprised, the young maid ran in front of Luo to protect her from the robot. “Ah, Pri—Nona, be careful!”
Li Nianfan assured, “Nona-nona, don't worry. This is my housekeeper, Xiao Bai, he is a robot," he then turned towards the robot, and ordered, "Xiao Bai, apologize to the two women."
"I'm sorry I surprised you ladies." Xiao Bai apologized smoothly and bowed like a gentleman.
Luo Shiyu looked at Xiao Bai in disbelief, “Robot? He seems to have Spiritual Intelligence. Is he a Spiritual Robot?”
'Spiritual Robots are legendary treasures, according to legends, only high-end Spiritual Machines can make Spiritual Robots. Most importantly, this Spiritual Robot seems to have an unusually high Spiritual Intelligence, it is no wonder that he is truly an Immortal Robot.’ A sense of fear surfaced on his face the more he thought about it.
Li Nianfan looked at her face, and reassured her with a smile, “Nona, You are wrong. Xiao Bai is just artificial intelligence, made with advanced technology. This was nothing close to a Spiritual Robot. ”
"Artificial intelligence? Technology advanced?" Luo Shiyu repeated doubtfully, not understanding a single word he said for the first time.
"Just a few little tricks, nothing special." Li Nianfan was silent. Not bothering to explain further, he turned to the robot. "Xiao Bai, please take the watermelon from the backyard to serve our guests."
“Good, Master.”
Did Li Nianfan really call the Spiritual Robot with Spiritual Intelligence 'some little tricks'?
Battled, Luo Shiyu took a deep breath to calm his excitement. He heard that many senior experts who had achieved Transcendence, enjoyed pretending to be human to experience ordinary life. Could he have hit one today?
With a thought in his mind, he held his breath in a nervous, happy and worried manner at the same time.
Li Nianfan escorted them to the pavilion, with a sincere smile, he gestured, "After you, miss."
He looked around and saw the beautiful Changqin placed in the corner, he asked, "Master, do you enjoy music?"
“Only something to pass the time,” replied Li casually.
Luo Shiyu seemed interested in befriending this 'expert'—or at least he was suspicious. He added, “A good friend of mine is an amazing musician, why didn't I introduce her to you when we met again later?”
“I'll give it permission. I don't know much about music.” He waved his hand with a bitter smile.
'If Luo Shiyu was an Immortal Cultivator, his friends should be cultivators as well. There is absolutely no way for me to make music with them. What if they don't make music with sound waves but emit electromagnetic waves? Aren't I going to get killed accidentally?’ Li Nianfan thought bitterly, even though he did get the title of ‘Music Saint’.
His mind was interrupted when Xiao Bai took out a watermelon, finely cut and prepared. "I hope you enjoy watermelon."
Once again, Luo Shiyu was very impressed with this Spiritual Robot. Other than his strange gaze, it was like a real person. Of all the other Spiritual Robots, Xiao Bai was definitely one of the best.
"Please, help yourself." Li Nianfan picked up a piece of watermelon and started chewing.
For him, this was a great time to enjoy the cold watermelon, under the scorching heat as he had just been thirsty after lunch.
Luo Shiyu saw her enjoying the watermelon and took one for herself. To him, watermelon was something ordinary. As a Princess, she was served with timeless fruits and spiritual juices. Watermelon is a fruit for ordinary people and not for people like him. However, he had to respect Li Nianfan, because he suspected him of being an Expert. He saw something different about watermelon.
'Hmm? It's so pretty! It shines like red rubies! It's not like the watermelon I've eaten before!’
He bites.
Suck up!
'Very crispy! So sweet!’ He was amused as the juice exploded in his bite and flowed in his mouth, like bad boys running around1.
In an instant, a strong scent burst out on his tongue, Luo Shiyu groaned in delight. 'Ah! It's so delicious! Nyam!’
How does watermelon taste so good, so delicious? This is no ordinary watermelon! Or so he thought.
Gulp down!
When she swallows, watermelon juice flows down, washing her throat. What happened next is magical. He felt the liquid turning into gas spreading throughout his body.
'Is this ... Spiritual Qi?'
He couldn't hold himself back and bit again a huge bite.
Again, very soothing and refreshing. At the same time, a huge swarm of Qi entered his body and exploded in his stomach.
Qi, that is truly Spiritual Qi! Even a single bite of watermelon is as good, or even better, than a single fruit of the Spirit!
Suck up! Suck up!
Luo Shiyu was lost at that moment. All of his rational thoughts disappeared along with the sweet, delicious, and dense Qi he gulped down. He only had one thought left in his brain—eat!
Quickly, he chewed on one piece, two, then three!
Li Nianfan stopped eating after his second part and observed Luo Shiyu partying uncontrollably. His eyebrows twitched with a glint of suspicion in his eyes.
Is he really a cultivator? It's just watermelon, isn't it?
Luo Shiyu did not stop until he ate six pieces of watermelon. Finally, he realized the mess he had caused and his face flushed with embarrassment. He lowered his head slightly, too embarrassed to look Li in the eye.
...Before he knew it, a scorching heat wave filled his body with endless Spiritual Qi emanating from his stomach...
