Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 197: The Kingdom
Li Nianfan looked like he was thinking.
Normally, someone as polite as him was mostly a noble.
Zhou Yunwu rolled up his sleeves. He's not pretentious. He said, “Owner, give me Soup Dumpling.”
Li Nianfan asked curiously, “ Zhou, do you know me? “
Zhou Yunwu shook his head. “No, but I've heard of you, Mr. Li. Especially about the occurrence of pregnant women. I was very impressed. ”
“I just got lucky,” said Li Nianfan humbly. Then, he kept asking, “How do you recognize me?”
Zhou Yunwu laughed. “Everyone says Mr. Li has a wife prettier than the Goddess. It's easy to spot. ”
“Once,” Li Nianfan laughed as he shook his head.
Is he famous around here?
“Master, your dumplings.”
The shop owner put the dumplings on the table.
Zhou Yunwu looked at Li Nianfan and gestured for him to enjoy the dumplings.
Li Nianfan rejected his offer. “Mr Zhou, we just ate. “
“Then I will eat it.” Zhou Yunwu rubbed his nose. He was a little embarrassed but he took the dumplings with his chopsticks.
Suddenly, he saw a plate of vinegar on the table. He asked in a shocked tone, “Hah? Why is there a plate of ink on the dining table? ”
The ink?
Li Nianfan almost laughed at the sudden humour.
He explained, “This is vinegar, a kind of seasoning sauce. You can try dipping dumplings into it. ”
Oh?
Zhou Yunwu was curious. He dipped his dumplings in vinegar and ate them.
Suddenly, a sour taste filled his mouth along with the delicious taste of dumplings. It brings new sensations to its palette of tastes.
The vinegar is appetizing. It made Zhou Yunwu salivate.
The guards behind him looked worried. He wanted to speak but he remembered what the prince had told him. He could only worry in silence.
It was too careless of the prince. This was their first meeting. What if the vinegar has been poisoned? He would easily die from it, right?
Zhou Yunwu praised sincerely, “Enak! I didn't know there was anything so amazing in this world! I heard this stall makes good food because of your advice too! Mr. Li, you are a man of mystery. “
“Thank you, I just got bored so I made something,” Li Nianfan said with a smile. He did not expect to be praised like that.
Zhou Yunwu felt Li Nianfan was important. He groaned for a while and suddenly said, “Master Li, did you know that many places have been hit by the plague? “
“Plague?” Li Nianfan furrowed his brows and shook his head.
Zhou Yunwu seemed like he was worried about his people. He sighed and said, “This outbreak started at the West end. We're not sure how, but it shows up on Southside as well. It spreads very quickly. Hundreds of villages and ponds were affected in just a few months. Many people died.“
Li Nianfan was feeling restless. “So serious?”
He is no stranger to the word ‘wabah’. However, he did not expect it to be so serious. It seems to spread quickly and widely.
“They?” Zhou Yunwu shook his head. He sounds like he was betrayed. “Why do cultivators care about the lives of ordinary people?”
Li Nianfan did not say anything. He wasn't surprised.
Ordinary people are too common. The people are elite. It was unrealistic to expect them to spend their time and energy curing the plague.
It is a cold and hard truth.
Zhou Yunwu looked at Li Nianfan with hope as he nervously said, “Master Li, since you have the skills to heal people, can you cure the plague as well? “
“If spread quickly, I can try it.”
Li Nianfan did not reject him. His healing skills were considered powerful if it was just a plague. He had to do something just in case the plague spread to his area.
However, he was in no hurry. He's just an ordinary man. The best thing is to be careful.
“Master Li, are you confident enough to give it a try? ” Zhou Yunwu is very happy. He hurriedly got up and said, “Whatever the result, I represent the people and thank you for your generosity, Mr Li!”
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Sama-sama, I did this for me too.”
What if everyone gets an outbreak? Conquering the world alone?
Maybe Zhou Yunwu was in a better mood, or maybe it was because he liked their conversation, but he suddenly sighed and asked, “Master Li, he said, what do you think of the cultivators? “
Li Nianfan replied without a second thought, “They can fly and destroy the earth. They're very strong. I envy them. “
Zhou Yunwu said, “Yes, envy. Too bad they have all the power but are not willing to help the citizens! “
Li Nianfan groaned for a while and finally shook his head and said, “ Zhou, have you heard the saying, ‘non-politician will not get involved in politics’? “
Zhou Yunwu flinched. His expression changed as he sank deep into his mind. He suddenly realized something but was once again confused.
He blushed as he said excitedly, “Non-politicians will not get involved in politics! Mr. Li, you are a genius. You sum it up so perfectly! “
“Courtesans fight demons and ensure safety. They've done their job. ” Li Nianfan is not trying to defend the cultivators. He interacted with cultivators constantly, so he knew how cultivators were. Cultivators fight demons, seal the entrance of demons, and get rid of the evils in their lives as well.
If they interfere with everything, they cannot become Gods.
I'm blind.
Zhou Yunwu had an epiphany. She looks embarrassed. “Because cultivators are so strong, I expect them to do everything. I rely on them to solve our problems. Even our war. I hope they handle everything. What's the difference with doing nothing and receiving praise for it? ”
“War?” Li Nianfan was stunned. Now, he was more certain of his guess.
Zhou Yunwu should be the prince of a kingdom.
Worldly problems must be solved by worldly people. Cultivation kingdoms also existed, but those kingdoms were more like sects dealing with the matter of the Eternal Realm. They don't care about the problems of ordinary people.
It was like asking humans to interfere in the matter of ant colonies.
Li Nianfan was thinking of joining the nobility when he first arrived here. He wanted to make a living in the kingdom with his talent.
However, he felt it was not suitable for him. This is the Eternal Realm — the kingdom is very strict and dangerous and wars always occur.
He thought about it and decided to stay with the cultivators.
Of course, Zhou Yunwu stood up again and said in a serious tone, “I didn't try to hide my identity intentionally. I am the Prince of Xia Kingdom, Zhou Yunwu. Greetings, Mr Li! ”
