Time flies.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the courtyard, Li Nianfan's life is extremely leisurely. He admits that he is a layman. With two first-class beauties, Daji and Huofeng, as his companions, even if it is just chatting and drinking, it is a kind of enjoyment.

Eating, drinking and having fun every day, occasionally going out, hunting and picnics at the same time, life is endless and fun, which is definitely enough to make most people never want to leave.

Now I think about it, what did people in the previous life work so hard for? Find a few beauties to accompany you, then live in seclusion in the mountains, build a courtyard, and live a simple and unpretentious life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains. Isn't this sweet?

I am really a person who is easily satisfied.

At this time, Li Nianfan laughed and put down the last hand of cards in his hand, "A straight, no more cards, hahaha, you lose again."

Daji and Huofeng were slightly stunned, and then helplessly put down the poker in their hands.

"I accept the loss, come on, stick it on." Li Nianfan held two white strips in his hand, wiped a little saliva in his mouth, and then smeared them on the faces of Huofeng and Daji.

After a whole morning, he only stuck four long strips on his face, and he deliberately let it go to lose. As for Huofeng and Daji, their beautiful faces were already full of them, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed and blinking.

Daji couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Ah, young master, how can you be so good? Shouldn't playing cards rely on luck?"

Huofeng was also dissatisfied and said: "That's right, no matter how good your luck is, it can't be this good."

During this period of time, playing cards has become a common activity in the courtyard. At the beginning, Huofeng and Daji were still excited, feeling that this game that relies purely on luck can definitely beat the master, so they are very motivated.

After all, in their hearts, the master is a symbol of perfection. In this world, there are not many times to beat the master, and only pure luck can have such a glimmer of hope. If you win, the sense of accomplishment will definitely make people feel happy.

But soon, Li Nianfan taught them how to be human.

"Hahaha, is this my luck? This is my strength. You can stick four long strips on my face. This is the first person in history. It's enough to brag about it."

Li Nianfan laughed and said, "There's no place left on your faces. Do you want to continue?"

Daji curled her lips and said, "It's just a face. I still have a whole body. Go on." Continue."

Fire Phoenix was also full of fighting spirit, "That's right, if you have the guts, stick us all over, come on, I want revenge!"

Li Nianfan suddenly got excited and started to shuffle the cards, "Okay, I really appreciate your unyielding spirit."

But at this time, Xiaobai came over with a clatter, "Master, lunch is ready, you can have a good meal."

I'm so nice to you!

Li Nianfan, who was drawing the cards, froze in his movements, and wanted to stuff the cards in his hand into Xiaobai's head.

Robots are robots, they don't have any vision, now is the time for me to show my skills, what are you doing here, do you still want to do it?

You are so ignorant! It's about to attack from the face to the body...

Oh, wrong.

Li Nianfan said, "How about... let's have dinner?"

Daji pursed her lips, "I'll listen to you, sir."

"Let's eat." Li Nianfan's heart was bleeding, and he said with a pain in his heart, "Xiaobai, go call Nannan and Long'er."

Nannan and Long'er started their daily practice in the backyard again, and took care of the backyard every day.

Xiaobai immediately accepted the order, "Okay, my noble master."

Today's lunch is a seafood feast. Under Xiaobai's knife skills, each piece of sashimi is as thin as a transparent paper. When placed on the ice, the size is exactly the same. The fish meat is like a row of neat white jade, which is pleasing to the eye.

In addition to sashimi, there are also fried squid, pan-fried salmon, tempura, grilled eel, etc., which are absolutely luxury-level sets.

In addition, these seafoods were carefully selected by Ao Chengjing, and the meat was absolutely tender and smooth, and the taste was top-notch. It was a real pleasure to eat them.

Long'er's eyes lit up while eating. As a princess of the dragon clan, she had eaten countless seafoods, but she had never thought that there were so many ways to eat seafood. Compared with this, she used to just swallow them without thinking, which was a waste of food.

It turns out that my sea people can be so delicious. I am an amazing sea people.

"Buzz buzz buzz——"

When the meal was coming to an end, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the sky.

Li Nianfan raised his head, frowned slightly, and exhaled a turbid breath, saying: "Half a month has passed, and the blood color in the sky has become more and more intense. Could something have happened?"

The summer sky should be clear and sunny, but in the past few days, there has been a sense of gloom, and the sky is no longer azure blue, but rather dark red, as if there is a bloody light emerging.

It is obviously unusual and not a good sign.

"I have been playing for so many days, but I haven't paid attention to the outside world for a long time."

Li Nianfan sighed and continued: "After eating, let's go to Luoxian City."

Nannan and Long'er were naturally eager to go, nodding repeatedly, "Yeah, okay, brother."

Soon, after dinner, Xiaobai was left in the courtyard to wash the dishes, and everyone went to Luoxian City.

Arriving at Luoxian City, the atmosphere was obviously much more depressing than before. The pedestrians on the street all had a trace of sorrow between their brows. Perhaps affected by the bloody sky, they all looked uneasy.

After passing through the street market, Li Nianfan arrived at the market with ease. As expected, Mr. Yu was setting up his stall as usual, but compared with the past, his enthusiastic smile was gone. He seemed to be sitting there in a daze, sighing.

He looked a little lonely.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu."

Hearing someone calling him, Boss Yu gradually came back to his senses, looked at Li Nianfan, forced a smile and said, "Mr. Li, you're here, it's been a long time."

Li Nianfan nodded and said, "Well, I saw the weather was a bit abnormal, so I went out for a walk."

"Isn't it? It is said that there is a monster causing trouble in this weather, and many people have died!" Boss Yu's face immediately straightened, and then said, "This is a big deal, doesn't Mr. Li know about it?"

Li Nianfan shook his head.

Boss Yu sighed and said, "Around us, no matter east, west, south or north, there are cities destroyed. I heard that even a sect of immortal cultivation was destroyed! This incident is too big a fuss. I heard that even the immortals in the sky have come down to the earth one after another."

Li Nianfan was surprised, "Is it so serious?"

"Not only that, even the city gods of those cities couldn't stop it." Boss Yu kept shaking his head, his face full of worry.

Li Nianfan spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, Boss Yu. I think Luoxian City should be fine."

"I'm not worried about that." Boss Yu shook his head and sighed, "My girl... hey, she was spotted by a sect not long ago and went to practice Taoism."

Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Little Yu'er went to practice Taoism?"

Boss Yu frowned and said, "Yes, that person said that she has excellent qualifications for practicing Taoism. I couldn't persuade her, so I could only let her do it."

Li Nianfan finally understood why Boss Yu was like this. Practicing Taoism also comes with risks. It is natural to be worried about the child being alone outside, and... now something big seems to have happened, of course he is worried.

But he consoled her by saying, "It's rare to have such high qualifications! Boss Yu, being able to cultivate is also a good thing, you don't have to do this."

Boss Yu shook his head and lowered his eyes. After Xiao Yu'er left, he even lost interest in selling fish.

Suddenly, he looked at Li Nianfan and said expectantly, "Mr. Li, I know you are an extraordinary person and are familiar with many cultivators. Can you ask someone to take care of Xiao Yu'er? I don't ask her to be very powerful, as long as she can save her life." It was no

secret that Li Nianfan was familiar with Luo Huang and others, and Nannan had made great progress in her studies. Last time, she showed her skills in Luoxian City, which was obvious to all. Boss Yu naturally knew it.

As Boss Yu spoke, he bowed to Li Nianfan and said, "Thank you in advance."

"No, no." Li Nianfan quickly held Boss Yu and said, "I am also half of Xiao Yu'er's brother. I will help you with this matter. Boss Yu, you don't have to do this."

Nannan patted her chest and said confidently, "Yes, uncle, Xiao Yu'er and I have played together. I am her sister. I guarantee that no one dares to bully her!"

For Li Nianfan, this matter is just a piece of cake.

With his current status, the Black and White Impermanence in the underworld and the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in the Heavenly Palace have to give him face. Taking care of a little girl is just a matter of words.

Not to mention myself, Nannan's current cultivation level is enough to make her a hero in many sects.

Boss Yu was overjoyed, bowed repeatedly, and kept thanking, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

As he spoke, he started to catch fish for Li Nianfan, and caught seven or eight fish in a row, all of which were the biggest and best fish on the field. He handed them to Li Nianfan and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Li, I don't have much ability, please don't despise these fish. If you want to eat them in the future, just come, I will prepare a few more for you."

"This..."

Boss Yu desperately stuffed the fish into Li Nianfan's hands and said, "Mr. Li, the little fish is my life, please."

"Then I'm sorry to say so." Li Nianfan didn't refuse, he really could afford it, he asked: "Do you know which sect Xiao Yu'er is in?"

Boss Yu quickly said: "In Tianyun Sect, to the east."

Li Nianfan nodded, "Okay, I understand, goodbye."

"Thank you, thank you." Boss Yu still kept thanking him from behind, "Mr. Li, take care."

Boss Yu has always been a cheerful person, it's not often that he asks for help like this, it's really pitiful for the parents in the world.

Li Nianfan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he is still just a mortal, but he has already gotten to this point without knowing it, and using a sentence to decide a person's fate is definitely not a joke.

I am so awesome. I have become a big boss by clinging to someone. It is not too much to be named the best time traveler in the world.

Speaking of which...

Li Nianfan looked up at the sky and could not help but say, "This time, the matter seems to be a bit serious. I really hope that it can return to normal as soon as possible."

For such a big thing, the Heavenly Palace will probably take action.

After hearing what Li Nianfan said, Daji and Huofeng looked at each other and said, "Sir, Sister Huofeng and I want to take care of it." "

You want to take care of it?" Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, and his brows wrinkled, a little worried.

Huofeng whispered, "Sir, we also want merit."

Li Nianfan was speechless.

He had been thinking about creating more opportunities for Daji and Huofeng to gain merit, so that outsiders would not get the advantage. This matter was naturally an opportunity.

But... sometimes people are so contradictory. Hope is one thing, but when the time comes, you can't help but worry.

"There is really no free lunch in the world."

Li Nianfan shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Daji and Huofeng, "For safety reasons, remember to call the people from the Heavenly Palace to go with you."

Daji nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master, we understand."

On the side, Nannan suddenly said, "Brother Nianfan, Sister Long'er and I want to go out too."

Li Nianfan was stunned, "Where are you going?" Nannan

said, "I'm going to go out and gain experience, subdue demons and monsters, maybe I can also gain merit, and... I want to find those monsters in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" for Brother Nianfan."

Long'er said, "Brother, I'm going back to the East China Sea."

Li Nianfan stopped talking.

He had no way to refute the reasons they gave.

Since they are cultivating immortals, it is impossible for them to stay in one place with a mortal like me. They have all learned their skills and are ready to take over their own lives.

Li Nianfan suddenly felt like he was watching an eagle grow up.

"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. If you want to go out, then go out."

Li Nianfan suppressed his reluctance and pretended to be calm, saying, "This is not a bad thing. Come back to the courtyard with me and pack your luggage."

The atmosphere before parting is always heavy, and there is no conversation along the way.

Back at the courtyard, Li Nianfan exhaled and said, "You go pack your clothes, and I'll pick some fruits for you in the yard."

When he came to the backyard, Li Nianfan called the old turtle as usual, stood on the old turtle's back and began to pick fruits, and directed the old turtle to move.

At this time, Li Nianfan noticed that the plum tree next to the peach was full of lotus-like flowers, with pearl-shaped fruits hanging on it.

"The plums are finally ripe, and they are ripe at the right time."

Li Nianfan couldn't help but pursed his lips and sighed, "Plums represent separation. The ancients were right!"
