Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 697: It Will End Soon
“How can you get an angel? Did he hurt you?” ask Li Nianfan.
“Not really. It's just that he looks a little different than us so I brought him back to show you. And besides, he could join the zoo,” Nanan said. Then, he paused before asking, “By the way, can we eat it?”
‘Eat him? Join the zoo?’ Li Nianfan was a little silent. ‘How does a little girl like her become so crooked? His first thought when he met an angel was to find out if he was edible? Who will come to our zoo? After all, this angel is really beautiful, almost as beautiful as Little Daji.’
Li Nianfan coughed lightly and said, “No, we can't eat that angel.”
Angels that look like humans. There would be no turning back if they ate it. Li Nianfan's gaze landed on the angel's wings. ‘This looks very luxurious. I wonder what it's like?’ He really wanted to know about it, so he politely asked the angel, “May I touch your wings?”
War Angel struggled against the rope hard and her blue eyes stared intently at Li Nianfan. That's not hard.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Because you didn't say no, please, excuse me.” He touched his wings. ‘Wow, it is very soft and smooth! And also warm!’ The feeling was similar to the feather of the Little Fox. He was a little sad because he could not caress the feather of the Little Fox now that he had turned into his human form.
However, there was little difference between the angel wings and the Little Fox's feathers. The first is soft to the touch but very hard underneath while the second is more delicate and the texture is in harmony with the softness of the body. Each has its weaknesses and strengths but both are very comfortable to touch.
‘I can't believe I'm touching a beautiful angel's wing now. I definitely won the lottery of life!’ A smile never leaves his face. “Wow, these angel wings are very comfortable! I'm never bored!”
War Angel was trembling and her face was flushed red. He's very frustrated. He would have torn Li Nianfan apart if not for the rope that bound him. Although he knew that the other people seemed to respect him a lot, to him, he was a useless human being who was no match for him.
With great difficulty, he used every strength in his body to say, “Let go..your hands...dirty...my hands!” Their wings are the pride of angels, a symbol of their uniqueness. Their wings were considered more valuable than their lives and he would kill anyone who dared to treat his wings disrespectfully. War Angel's eyes were completely red as she glared at Li Nianfan.
“Sorry,” said Li Nianfan while reluctantly pulling his hand. ‘Honey I can't touch the wings as much as I want, but I have to respect his wishes.’
“Brother Li, I will kill this angel for disrespecting you!” nanan said furiously.
Li Nianfan patted his head. “No. He didn't do anything to me. We cannot bully the weak,” he said with a bitter smile. ‘This child is obsessed with murder and has no empathy for others!’
Li Nianfan was at a loss as to what to do with the angel. If he let her go, he would definitely take revenge but he could not bear to kill the angel who did nothing to him. ‘Oh well, it's best that he stays here as a pet.’
Li Nianfan was pleased with his decision and he continued to tour the zoo while evaluating the hunted meat.
“Oh, chicken and peacock ready to eat! I can make this ice silkworm into chicken feed. I'm sure it will make their eggs more nutritious.” It worked when he fed them grasshoppers, so he made mental notes to include more insects into their diet.
“What species is this hippo from? It seems a bit strange,” Li Nianfan said when he found the demon. His eyes are shining brightly. “I've never eaten hippo meat before. Come on, let's drag him to the yard and we'll eat for dinner!”
The eyes of the hippo opened wide in fear and began to wail. ‘Sial, so much game meat here, and he chose me? What a bad luck!’
The other hunted meat watched it get dragged away and their eyes filled with sadness and happiness. ‘Goodbye, Brother Hippo! It's sad to think that we've all ended up as someone's game meat.’
War Angel was shocked when she saw what was happening. ‘No wonder the little girl asked if she could eat me. It seems like everyone who ends up here will be eaten sooner or later. Who is that guy? They seriously brought us here just to feed him? Is he really strong?’ Too many questions in his mind. However, before he could figure it all out, Nanan, a bald dog, and the others had already approached him.
The bald dog was holding a big stick in his mouth. The wand had a bulge all over, making it look extremely disgusting.
War Angel frowned and trembled. “What.... What are you going to do to me? Didn't that guy just say I'm not edible?” he asked in a frightened voice.
Dragin smiled and said, “Don't worry. We won't kill you because Brother Li explicitly banned us.”
“Then, what will you do to me?” ask War Angel weakly. He's still worried.
Nanan looked at Blackie and asked curiously, “Blackie, why did you ask us to come here?”
Blackie put down his cane and said proudly, “Among us all, I am the one who knows Master the most! Didn't you see Master's reaction? She really likes to caress angel feathers, so as her pet, it's my duty to split her load.”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that.
“He's right! Why don't I think about it? We can pull out the fur and give it to Big Brother Li!”
“Master did say that angel wings are very nice.”
“You are very smart, Blackie!”
They all looked at the War Angel wings with a dangerous glint in their eyes.
“Of course,” said Blackie with a smile. His smile became wider when he saw War Angel. ‘Ha ha ha! I won't be the only bald one around here much longer!’
“Wait for what else? Unplug the feathers!” nanan said excitedly.
“Quiet. I'm all set. We can use this!” Blackie pointed to the big stick. “Master used this to remove the fur on the game meat. It's convenient, fast, and does the job cleanly.”
Nanan and Dragin nodded and said excitedly, “Oh! I've seen Brother Li use it before!”
‘Tick my feather?’ All the colors drained from War Angel's face. He started shaking when he saw the big stick. “No, please. I beg! Don't do that.”
“No no!” The usually arrogant War Angel cried hysterically as she struggled weakly and helplessly.
“There, there. It's all over soon!” dragin said soberly.
“You are not human! Just stop! Nah! Ahh—!”
After two or three minutes, War Angel sobbed on the ground. He was traumatized and hoped death would pick him up. His tears fell like a torrential rain and his eyes were so swollen that he could barely see Dragin and the others walking towards the four-piece building with feathers in their hands. She huddled up and continued crying, alone.
Meanwhile, in the four-piece building, the Hippo Demon had been massacred and was being cleaned by Li Nianfan and Xiao Bai. It took a while for them to completely cleanse his huge body.
“This hippo meat is quite hard. There are large chunks of lean meat as well. Definitely delicious. I want to know how to cook it,” said Li Nianfan.
Suddenly, Nanan and the others ran towards him with excited red faces. He quickly noticed the large bundle of feathers on their hands. Each feather is beautiful, slightly longer than the average hand. It even shines lightly.
‘Hah? The feathers look familiar. Isn't that angel feather?’ Her eyes were wide open and she quickly asked, “Is ... is that angel fur?”
“Yup! We saw how much you liked it, so we decided to pluck it for you, Brother Li!” nanan said proudly.
Li Nianfan smacked his own forehead. He couldn't believe what they had done. “How is the angel?” She asked.
“Don't worry, Brother Li. She's doing just fine. We did nothing to him,” Dragin said.
‘Except to pluck the fur!’ thought Li Nianfan. He hit the back of their heads and quickly walked out of the four-piece building.
He did not immediately walk towards the angel but looked at her from a distance. He saw her all curled up and crying. Her wings are like Siamese cat skin now that all her fur is removed. He folded his wings over himself as if he wanted to hide from the world. The wings are as white as the skin so they don't look too bad.
‘He must be traumatized,’ thought Li Nianfan. He was filled with sympathy and guilt. He returned to the four-part building, sighed, and said, “What he's done is done. I must immediately find an idea to make it better for him.”
His gaze landed on a bundle of feathers. He picked them up. They are still warm to the touch. ‘I can make a very comfortable blanket from this,’ thought Li Nianfan. Then, he shook his head. ‘No, it won't work. There is not enough fur for it.’
Doormat, throw blanket, blanket, table mat.. How many angel feathers does it take to make more than one set? No-no. He can't be so wasteful.
“Tell me and I'll take more feathers for you, Brother Li!” voluntary Nanan.
Li Nianfan hit his head and reprimanded him, “Violence is not the answer to everything. We're not bandits. Remember this, do not pass others if they have not passed you! Understand?”
He was worried that they would become even more crooked as time went on. The stronger a person is, the more important one's morale is. They could have ended up as true bandits if he had not taught them a lesson. Then, they will be bad people instead of good people.
Nanan pouted and said, “Ya, Brother Li.”
“To prevent you all from taking the wrong path, each of you should write ‘Di Zi Gui’ a hundred times!” li Nianfan. This was the only idea he could think of because he could not defeat them with brute force. He did it for his own good and his own safety.
“Brother Li, what is ‘Di Zi Gui?” ask Dragin curiously.
“This is a book. I'll get it for you now,” said Li Nianfan. He went to the utility room and found a blue book after some digging. On the cover of the book, three words were written on it, ‘Di Zi Gui’.
When they looked at the book, they felt the Wisdom in their bodies surging wildly as an inexplicable pressure befell them. It was as if a terrifying rule would bind their Wisdom. However, as they dug deeper into the pressure, they found that it could not be found or seen. As if it never existed.
Li Nianfan gave the book to Dragin and said, “Try to memorize it in your heart while copying it.”
Dragin nodded obediently. He could feel the inexplicable pressure getting stronger as he held the book in his hand. However, he had absolute confidence in Li Nianfan and without hesitation, he opened the book.
“This is the rule for being a student, which was passed down to us by the Ancient Sages.
First, be devoted to your own parents and be respectful to all older people.
Be trustworthy, careful, and kind, and approach good people.
No matter how much time you have to spend studying.
When your mother or father calls, don't be slow to respond.
When your parents tell you to do something, don't be lazy or frown.”.
Light started flowing out from the book and words swept across everyone like a tidal wave. Instantly, the laws of the universe disappeared and Wisdom became dormant. Even the mana in their bodies became quiet when their Wisdom was suppressed.
Nanan, Shi Tuqin, Qin Manyun, Little Daji, Fire Phoenix, and Little Fox all gathered around Dragin to read ‘Di Zi Gui’. They could hear the words being read. It was not the voice of Wisdom but the voice of rules, and they felt as if they were bound by chains.
At that moment, they understood that the inexplicable pressure they felt before did not come from the outside world but from within themselves. They are their own worst enemies. It is not enough to achieve enlightenment but it is equally important to stay balanced in life.
If one's heart was unstable, it would be easy to lose oneself on the path of cultivation. They would be no different from Eldritchs if all they did was pursue a higher realm without thinking about the consequences it would have on others.
