Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 14
He has had no visitors in the last few days. Li Nianfan's life returned to peace like before.
After filling his stomach, he went to the backyard with a fishing rod. The turtle was lying on a giant rock by the pool, squinting into the sunlight. Looking at the relaxed looking turtle, it was clear that there were no monsters inside the pond. So where did all the fish go?
Li Nianfan has not given up. He would try it again while observing the turtle. The tortoise was still small, only half the age of Li Nianfan himself. It opened its eyes slightly, looking at him before lazily closing it again.
Li Nianfan smiled and threw his hook into the pool.
Hit it!
The trunk bends into a perfect curve in the air before landing right in the middle of the pool. The surface of the pool rippled the waves while his staff sank deeper. The water in the pool was clear like glass. However, if one was inside the pond, he would soon realize that there was not a single fish there. Even the krill he had just entered had all disappeared. Under the water, a huge ghostly figure slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the fish hook floating in front of him. He wiggled his tail before swimming towards the deeper end of the pond, leaving a trail of golden mud along his path.
Half an hour later, Li Nianfan let out a fountain from the water. Looking at the empty hook, he looked unperturbed. He hoped this would happen too.
“Any, this is so strange,” Li Nianfan shook his head and muttered to himself as he looked at the turtle. “Old turtle, if only you could talk and tell me what's going on in the pool. ”
Unfortunately, the turtle fell asleep. He didn't even flinch.
Desperately, Li Nianfan cleared the dirt from his pants and left the pool. He made a decision at that time. He would never fish from this pond again. If he wanted to eat fish, he might as well buy it from Fallen Immortal Town.
He put the fishing line back in place and closed the door. “Blackie, let's go to town. ”
The Fallen Immortal City was busy as usual. Auntie Zhang walked over while holding Nanan in her hand. He shouted when he saw Li Nianfan, “Nanan, Sir. Li here. Hurry up and thank him for saving you. ”
A girl with braided pigtails turned around and looked at Li Nianfan blankly. He did not speak as if he had lost his soul.
Li Nianfan was shocked. “Aunt Zhang, Nanan..”.
“Sigh, after being captured by a monster a few days ago, she's been acting like this ever since she woke up. She must have been too frightened to lose her soul, ”Aunt Zhang sighed.
Li Nianfan frowned. He felt a knot in his chest as he recalled the cheerful look that had once been seen on Nanan's face.
“Aunt Zhang, is there any way to help him?” Li Nianfan asked.
“I have asked some traveling cultivators, but all they said was to accompany and talk more with him. There is still hope to get his soul back. “Aunt Zhang hesitated for a while before he begged,” Sir. Li, you're an intellectual. Can you take the time to accompany Nanan? Maybe it can help! ”
“I will,” Li Nianfan nodded seriously. He was determined to help her.
Auntie Zhang carried a basket of eggs on her arm. “Master Li, you left too soon a few days ago. I can't thank you. Please, keep this. ”
Li Nianfan shook his head bitterly. “Aunt Zhang, I cannot accept this. I really didn't do much yesterday. ”
“Mr Li, you are too humble. Even the three cultivators praised you. Since they are cultivators, they probably won't appreciate this egg, but I hope you don't mind. ”With that, Auntie Zhang pushed the basket and forced Li Nianfan to keep it.
Li Nianfan had no other choice but to keep it with a bitter smile. After bidding farewell with Auntie Zhang and Nanan, he returned to the fish stall.
“Pak, can I have two big goldfish?”
“Hey, Mr Li, ”sang the owner greeted enthusiastically. Not buying more krill?
What about the tortoise? the owner of the stall frowned.
“The turtle is fine. It comes out every day for sunshine, ” replied Li Nianfan.
“Any,” said the owner, sounding confused.
The tortoise was fine, but where did krill go?
Li Nianfan said indifferently, “I will not keep any more fish. I'll just buy fish from you in the future. ”
“Master Li, you were right to come here. I got up early to fish in the lake. I can assure you that all my fish here are fresh and delicious! ” the owner laughed. “Even officers from the Eternal Dynasty came here to fight for my fish!”
Li Nianfan was amazed. “Bulkah?”
“Why I lied to you! Yesterday, the Princess came shopping when she passed my stall. He said he likes to eat fish. The children of the Prime Minister and the Lord of the Nation almost fought on the road because of my fish! All because they tried to impress Princess, ” said the owner proudly. “They are all cultivators, yet they love my fish!”
Li Nianfan stopped. He knew that Luo Shiyu did that on purpose. No wonder he hadn't visited her for a while. Looks like the plan has already begun. He was only impressed by how quickly he managed to control the situation. The sons of the Lord of State and the Prime Minister seem rather weak!
Li Nianfan smiled and left the stall. On his way home, he saw the normally closed door suddenly open wide. A waiter came out. The sound of one's wailing came from inside the house and everyone had a grim expression on their faces. Not long after, suona's voice rang out across the street as the horse carriage stopped. Some men rushed to the house with coffins. Everyone helped bring a woman out of the house. He'll be put in a coffin.
“It looks like Chen Yuanwai's wife didn't make it.”
“One body and two lives! Very tragic.”
“Chen Yuanwai and his wife are good people. Too bad . ”
The crowd shook their heads while sighing. Things like this happen too often. The standard of health care in the Eternal Realm was not too far from Ancient times, especially during childbirth. Unless a cultivator helped, it was most likely that the birthing process had gone wrong.
Li Nianfan watched them with a serious heart. He saw that the woman had closed her eyes. He was barely breathing but he was still sweating.
With just one look, he knew that the woman was not dead. He just fainted.
“Wait! He's not dead! ” Seeing that they were going to close the coffin, he rushed forward.
A middle-aged man with a hoarse voice looked at him with reddened eyes. “Master Li, what are you doing? ”
It was a tragic event. If not for Li Nianfan's good reputation, he would have turned his back on her.
“Wife and your son are not dead. I can save them! ” Said Li Nianfan.
“Master Li, are you kidding me? ” the middle-aged man asked.
The midwife beside him also looked at Li Nianfan in disbelief.
I am very sure! Li Nianfan urged. “Dissolve the crowd and find someone to prepare gauze and oil lamps. I'll save them now. Time is running out.”
Due to the critical time, he had to operate on it while he was still inside the coffin.
