Nanan took a deep breath to calm down her restlessness. She did not dare to suck in the surrounding Insights anymore.

Li Nianfan smiled. “If the dough can be made this way, it’s considered pretty good.”

Considered pretty good?

Was there another way to communicate with him?

The crowd chose not to talk back. They chose silence.

“We’ll make the buns following that!”

Li Nianfan raised his hand to pluck out a white and soft piece of dough from the bigger ball of dough. No wonder the children liked to play. The stickiness and bounciness were indeed quite a good touch to the hands.

He pinched at the dough and squeezed it.

He simply picked some dragon meat with his agile fingers. Without moving that much, a bun was made. The entire movement flowed smoothly. It was a pleasing sight to watch.

Each movement was flowing with Insights.

Nanan was standing by the side. Since she was drawn by the path, her consciousness went blank. She was unable to hold it back anymore and she instantly went into the Interrogation of Insights.

To her, the Interrogation of Insights was not a problem at all because she had too many Insights around her. There were too many Insights around that there was nothing to be interrogated about. She went into a blank state.

It was like a kindergarten teacher testing a pupil who was sitting for a doctorate exam. When the two met, they were perplexed. What was there to be interrogated about? Who was testing who?

What a mess!

Li Nianfan’s movement was quick and fluent. He pinched the dough and a bun was made. With another pinch, another bun was made. Each of them was rounded and regularly shaped. They were delicately made.

Following that, the buns were put in rows and placed into the steamer.

After clapping his hands, he said, “That’s it, all we’ll have to do now is to eat!”

Dragin’s eyes sparkled like stars. She admired him so much. She cried out with joy, “Brother, you’re so clever! You managed to make buns with only one hand!”

She did not expect the seemingly simple buns to be quite difficult to make. Li Nianfan made them so effortlessly, even the process of making the buns was full of Insights. Dragin almost wanted to worship him.

This was the actual expert! He looked so professional while making the buns. Could a Saint do that? Could they make buns, too?

The children’s admiration made him feel satisfied.

Li Nianfan smiled humbly with delight. “It’s a small trick, not to be mentioned about.”

Vroom!

Without any warning, a dark cloud appeared in the sky. Instantly, the sky became dark and unstable.

Even though it was early in the morning, the surroundings had darkened.

Hwa-la!

Among the dark clouds, lightning struck like a dancing silver snake. It cracked the sky, making the sky flash brightly.

The lightning was thick and powerful. Even though they were only looking at it, the crowd felt their scalps go numb.

“A thunderstorm?”

Li Nianfan looked up at the sky. He could not help frowning.

What happened? Why so sudden?

“Brother Nianfan…”

Nanan pulled on Li Nianfan’s sleeve and said in a small voice, “I’m about to enter my Cross Tribulation.”

“Cross Tribulation, so soon?”

Li Nianfan halted. He knew about the cultivation realm well enough to know that the Cross Tribulation was the highest realm here. However, this was not the right time to make a fuss about this matter. He was mostly worried.

“Are you confident?” He looked at Nanan seriously. He looked at the Fire Phoenix and asked, “Can someone help in Cross Tribulation?”

“Brother, don’t worry. I’ll be fine, no problem.” Nanan sighed and smiled.

She then turned into light and flew out. She said with an effortless voice, “I’m about to Cross Tribulate!”

“Be careful!” Li Nianfan reminded her and rode on his cloud. He chased after her while keeping a safe distance. He was going to watch.

Vroom!

He followed behind Nanan as more and more clouds gathered as if there was a black blanket in the sky. However, this blanket was short and only covered the sky above Nanan. Looking from afar, it looked strange.

If he looked closely, he would not be able to smile.

This was because, among the not-too-big patch of dark clouds, there was a skinny and dense strike of lightning like a silver snake. It was playing among the clouds, producing fear in one’s heart.

Compared to the Natural Tribulation, Nanan was only a child.

She was too young!

However, she did not seem weak at all. Her small figure floated up into the sky. She looked up with her eyes sparkling. Her small figure exuded a fearless temperament.

Li Nianfan was flying far away. When he saw her, he suddenly felt that Nanan seemed to have…grown up!

She was the little girl who was usually by his side, the girl who acted and behaved like a child. However, after leaving her home to cultivate and after going through so many accidents, she had seen more of the world with Li Nianfan. How could she still be a small child?

“A young eagle…will fly toward the sky anyhow,” Li Nianfan mumbled to himself. “Unknowingly, Nanan has become so powerful. This makes sense, though. She’s creative and even invented some kind of Power of Devour. She must be the one in a million genius!”

Dragin started to boast. She said, “Brother, I’m even more powerful. I’ve reached the realm of an Immortal!”

“Ha-ha-ha, Dragin’s also a one-in-a-million kind of genius.” Li Nianfan smiled and nodded. “I’ll need you all to protect me in the future.”

“Hmm!” Dragin nodded seriously.

“Come on!” Nanan scoffed loudly suddenly. She exuded a powerful temperament. She reached her hands out and a black swirling hole appeared on top of her head. A strange suction force spread to her surroundings.

Sizz!

The clouds felt challenged. The lightning started to gather up. Their Qi had reached the peak as well.

Following that, along with a loud sound, a bolt of lightning struck and lit up the sky. It went straight for Nanan’s black swirl that was above her head.

Bam!

The lightning was swirling in the black hole. It did not take long before it was sucked in.

“Hmm?”

Nanan could not help frowning. This Natural Tribulation…so weak…

The look of it seemed powerful, but…so weak. It made her feel as if it was…acting.

The Natural Tribulation was indeed too weak. She engulfed the Spiritual Qi of the Natural Tribulation. Instantly, she felt her power increasing greatly, making way more improvements than her usual cultivation.

She could not help tilting her little head. She yelled out at the sky, feeling unsatisfied, “It’s so weak, can you give me something stronger?”

Vroom!

The clouds rolled in as if they were responding to her.

In the next moment, another lightning bolt fell from the sky, making an eye-catching crack that left an imprint in the sky for a long while.

The power was three times more than the previous one.

“It can still be stronger!” Nanan sucked it in again. The sky was instantly stabilized. “I feel that it can be five times stronger.”

Vroom! The clouds responded again.

In the next instance, the third lightning struck. The power was not more or less…it was exactly five times more!

Instantly, Nanan was assured that this Natural Tribulation was acting accordingly to the needs of its clients. How professional!

The rest of them were dumbfounded. Did the Natural Tribulation become so friendly over the years?

How was this Natural Tribulation? To Nanan, this was obviously a free opportunity!

‘Ding! Sister, our opportunity has arrived. Please, come out and collect your Natural Tribulation.’

The Natural Tribulation was active, and it took care of its client’s feelings.

Vroom! ‘How do you feel?’

Nanan nodded. “It’s still okay, come again!”

Another lightning bolt struck Nanan’s body accordingly. Without any exception, they were all sucked in by Nanan without wasting anything.

Her temperament was getting stronger each time. Since she had spent so much time around Li Nianfan, she did not have to digest them for them to be taken in. Her power was increasing from early-Cross Tribulation to Mid-Cross Tribulation right away.

“Clever! I didn’t expect Nanan to be so powerful!”

Li Nianfan could not help feeling astonished. “It’s like she’s using the Natural Tribulation to take a bath, and using the thunder as her shower. Perhaps she really is a genius, how powerful!”

Daji and the Fire Phoenix could not help rolling their eyes at Li Nianfan.

‘Bigshot, could you be less pretentious? Who’s the powerful one here? Your ability to lie with your eyes open is too advanced!

‘If you open your mouth, the Natural Tribulation would come to your mouth and offer itself to you as a meal, let alone showering with the Natural Tribulation. It would even make itself taste better, do you believe me?’

With that, Nanan had easily passed nine lightning strikes without any accident.

The clouds started to spread out, making some noise.

Vroom! ‘Please, leave a review.’

Nanan’s small face flushed red. Her cultivation had reached the late-Cross Tribulation. She went back to them in light and looked at Li Nianfan with excitement, “Brother Nianfan, I’ve succeeded! This Natural Tribulation isn’t bad at all. It’s gentle and it helped improve my power.”

Her powerful temperament had disappeared. By then, she had turned into an energetic child again.

“Clever! So clever! This is great!”

Li Nianfan ruffled her head and did not say anything else. To him, Nanan was a child he watched grow up. Even if she Immortalized and became undefeatable, she would still be a child to him, let alone Cross Tribulating.

He smiled and said, “Hurry up and go back. The buns should be ready by now.”

“Right, Cross Tribulating makes me hungry. Let’s go home and have some buns.”

Even though it was a terrifying tribulation, it looked more like a professional delivery guy who had gone back after delivering the powerful and filling meal.

When they went back to the four-part architecture, steam was coming out from the steamer. The timing was just right.

Just like the saying, ‘In ancient times, warm wine was used to ease the city.’ Now that they had steamed buns after the Natural Tribulation, it came just at the right time!

When he lifted the lid, the heat escaped with the scent, spreading all over. Instantly, it triggered one’s appetite.

Other than the scent, the appearance of the buns was even more ideal. They were shaped like plump white snow, good to the touch. Having one in hand would please one’s senses.

Even after poking it with a finger, it would bounce back up. Its elasticity made it look alive.

“Mr. Li, your buns are too beautiful.”

Compared to what they had, Li Nianfan’s buns instantly won the admiration from everyone. Daji even decided to practice harder for her buns to look better.

What a filling meal.

Li Nianfan did not plan any activity nor did he prepare to go out. He carried his chair over to the side of the fire and asked the Fire Phoenix to light a fire as a heater.

He sat in the chair and laid back languidly as he stretched.

Hmm, how relaxing!

Days with no work were so chill!

The only thing lacking was entertainment. Actually, there was some entertainment. It was just that they were not advanced enough.

Li Nianfan started to relax his mind and recall the female Onis from the Underworld and the dancing Clam Demons from the sea.

He concluded that other than their looks, be it their dancing or choreography or their sense of rhythm, they were bad!

The dancing of Immortals should be something pleasing to watch. Even though the hardware looked good, the software was bad and it did not look good overall.

Li Nianfan could not help imagining what it would be like if there was an Immortal dancing in front of him with another woman playing an instrument while also singing a few songs. It would be the best thing in life!

Ew! He had gone backward! He had gone backward!

Li Nianfan quickly changed his mindset. It was the fault for not having a phone. If he had a phone, he could use his phone to read a novel or even watch some beautiful ladies dance! This should be the right thing for a man to do!

Unknowingly, his mind went blank gradually as he dozed off.

Daji gently placed a blanket over Li Nianfan before walking to the backyard.

When she got to the backyard, she took out the golden gourd and examined it in her hand.

The Fire Phoenix looked at the gourd and asked, “This gourd can suck in demons’ consciousness?”

“Yeah,” Daji nodded. “I think this is the Sucking Gourd that was mentioned by Mr. Li in the ‘Investiture of the Gods’, the one used by Empress Nuwa. It can be used to gather all of the demons in the world.”

The Fire Phoenix had a hint of admiration in her eyes. She could not help saying, “Mr. Li’s so nice to you.”

“Yeah, without Mr. Li, I’d still be a tiny fox by now.” Daji looked nostalgic and sweet. She then smiled and said, “No, I’d actually be dead…”

The Fire Phoenix looked at Daji and asked, “What are you prepared to do?”

“Mr. Li said this world’s messed up. Of course, we need to solve his problems!” Daji squinted as she smiled happily while speaking with a determined tone. “Mr. Li fixed the Heavenly Temple and Underworld to ease up the chaos in the world. We’re still in need of a Lord Demon, so I’ll arrange for one!”

The Fire Phoenix pursed her lips. After a moment, she said almost unwillingly, “I, on behalf of the Phoenix family, support you…a fox!”

Since the birth of the world, Dragons, Phoenixes, and Kirins were the major figures. Lord Emperor Jun and Emperor East were born as the Lord Demon. The Nine-tailed Fox was nowhere close to it. However, now that she was with the expert, nobody could say no.

“Thank you for your support, Sister Fire Phoenix.” Daji smiled. She raised her hand to gently rub the golden gourd.

Instantly, a glowing light appeared. By the entrance of the gourd, smoke floated, forming phantoms of a kirin and a dragon.

They looked at Daji in unison and scowled. “How despicable! So what if you’ve got a Sucking Gourd? Don’t think you can get a hold of our hearts after getting our consciousness. We won’t give in even if we’re dead!”
