Chapter 31: Philosophical Thinking

The stronger one is, the more cautious they are.

Standing in front of the enormous mouth of the Kun, the man in white squinted his eyes and looked at the bottomless throat of the Kun, as if standing on the edge of an abyss. He stood there for a long time, afraid to take a step forward.

Two little girls urged him from behind.

"Don't dawdle, go in quickly!"

"You'll know everything once you step into the stomach!"

The man in white's face stiffened. He felt that these two tiger fairies were young but knowledgeable.

Unfortunately, they were girls, and he didn't find them cute at all.

He couldn't take a step into the stomach either...

Just as he hesitated, he heard a slight tremor in the air.

Two chestnuts hit the heads of the two little girls!

Below, at the edge of the Floating Mountain.

A stern-faced woman stood with her hands behind her back, shouting sternly, "Come back here!"

The two little girls glared down fiercely before reluctantly returning to the martial arts arena.

The man in white breathed a sigh of relief.

His strong and muscular figure moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the martial arts arena.

Squinting his eyes, he stirred his divine consciousness and scanned the group of Beast Immortals in the martial arts arena.

He found that among them, there were quite a few strong and handsome male Beast Immortals.

This Bamboo Spring Sect is interesting.

However.

There are more important matters at hand.

The man in white remained composed and respectfully clasped his fists towards Little Bamboo Spring Mountain in the distance and Ning Zhongzi in front of him.

"I am Fan Ni, the Elder Beast Tamer of the White Lotus Sect. I have seen Master Liu and Elder Ning."

Ning Zhongzi maintained a solemn expression, but she was slightly surprised in her heart.

Although she didn't sense any spiritual pressure, she felt...

This man is strong!

In the Eastern Water Immortal District, Fan Ni's name is well-known.

After the Kunpeng brothers betrayed the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect specially appointed a Beast Tamer Elder to manage the sect's mounts and solve the problem of ferocious beasts.

That person is Fan Ni.

Fan Ni is from Caiyun City and used to be a beast hunter. He had long coveted the Kunpeng brothers in the Beast Nest Forest.

After becoming the Elder Beast Tamer of the White Lotus Sect, he immediately organized a force to go to the Beast Nest Forest to find the Kunpeng brothers.

However, due to unfavorable terrain, he was defeated by the Kunpeng brothers' Body Integration technique and fled back to the White Lotus Sect in a sorry state.

Of course, this was already a thousand years ago.

No matter how embarrassing he was, Fan Ni is still an unquestionable Half-step Immortal Venerable. He has never regarded the Bamboo Spring Sect highly.

Now, showing such respect to the sect master and herself, it is probably because he learned about the mysterious death of the Void Kun.

"I have seen Elder Fan," Ning Zhongzi politely returned the gesture but faintly felt that something was amiss.

"What brings Elder Fan here this time?"

Fan Ni did not answer directly but pointed to Little Bamboo Spring Mountain.

"That black boat looks familiar. Thank you for helping the White Lotus Sect clean up our mess recently."

"It was just a small favor."

"I have heard about the Bamboo Spring Sect recently. I didn't expect you to actually build a city. With Eastern Floating City attracting immortal merchants and the beast tide from the Beast Nest Forest, even the White Lotus Sect failed to build a city back then."

Fan Ni's voice was magnetic, but his tone was hesitant and carried a faint pressure.

This made Ning Zhongzi very uncomfortable.

If it were in the past, she could only be respectful, but now that Bamboo Spring Sect has Lu Ya, she naturally has confidence.

"Elder Fan, speak directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Fan Ni's eyes slightly narrowed.

"I have been tracking the Kunpeng brothers all the way from the Beast Nest Forest to here. This Kunpeng is the mount of our sect's former sect master, Yun Zhonghe. It is necessary for me to bring this beast back to White Lotus Sect."

Truly shameless!

Ning Zhongzi said coldly,

"For such an important matter, I cannot make the decision. Elder Fan should discuss it with the sect master in person. The sect master is currently in seclusion in the palace. Please follow me."

Fan Ni's face twitched slightly, his cheeks full. He spoke in a cold tone,

"I have heard that Elder Ning is Senior Master Liu's senior sister. The affairs of Bamboo Spring Sect, big or small, are all decided by the elders... This virtual Kun is the mount of White Lotus Sect and its death is the relic of White Lotus Sect. Are you trying to appropriate the assets of White Lotus Sect?"

A faint Immortal Venerable-level pressure floated above Bamboo Spring Sect.

There was no oppressive force, only a faint hint.

In the Immortal World, Immortal Venerable is a proof of strength.

In any Immortal Domain, Immortal Venerable is a rare existence. Even in the Eastern Floating Region, including the Half-step Immortal Venerable, there are only a few individuals.

Although Fan Ni's faint pressure did not forcefully suppress others, it was still a kind of implication - meaning that as long as he wished, he could destroy the entire Bamboo Spring Sect with a single move.

The Beast Immortals trembled in fear.

But Ning Zhongzi remained unmoved.

"Nowadays, the affairs of our sect are managed by Elder Lu Ya. Brother Lu is currently cooking the Kun meat inside the Kun's belly. If you want this Kun, you can go inside and ask him."

Fan Ni was taken aback.

Cooking the Kun meat inside the Kun's belly?

Is there such a cooking method?

Wasn't it said that Liu Xuanye married a mortal?

Could it be an Immortal Venerable powerhouse?

Fan Ni felt that things were becoming more complicated.

"What about Jin Pengzi?"

Ning Zhongzi turned to the side, revealing a majestic and domineering silhouette, and said coldly,

"Elder Fan, you should go and ask Brother Lu."

Fan Ni:

"..."

Ning Zhongzi:

"Why, is Elder Fan afraid?"

"..."

Fan Ni had been traveling the world for many years, but this was the first time he had been intimidated by a Five-Star Immortal Master.

But he really didn't want to go inside the Kun's belly, not only out of caution, but also because of psychological trauma.

Thinking back to the past...

Forget it, it's better not to mention it.

Fan Ni felt awkward for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said,

"Since Qingluan City is welcoming guests, why not go to the inn and taste Brother Lu's cooking?"

Ning Zhongzi nodded.

"That's a good idea."

...

Ning Zhongzi led Fan Ni into the entrance of the inn, and they immediately came face to face with Lu Ya sitting at a table, his eyelids slightly drooping as if he had been waiting for a long time, giving off a somewhat impatient feeling.

Fan Ni was slightly startled.

This was just an ordinary table in the lobby of Yuelai Inn.

There were Immortal Citizens scattered around the tables, dining sparsely.

There were no private rooms.

No accompanying drinks.

There isn't even any alcohol... There's only a mortal sitting at the table waiting for him.

Fan Ni didn't like it.

Am I, Half-step Immortal Venerable, so lacking in prestige?

In front of the mortal, there is a plate of roasted Kun meat.

Only one plate.

The Kun meat is cut into small diced pieces, each piece skewered with a toothpick. There are nearly a hundred servings of Kun meat in the plate.

The meat looks ordinary, with no special features, but the spiritual energy within is extremely restrained and difficult to detect.

But the fragrance...

It's too exaggerated!

Fan Ni always thought that the deliciousness of the giant Kun was just a deliberate promotion by the Immortal Court to lure people into catching the giant Kun. He never expected the taste of this big fish to be so amazing!

No wonder Yun Zhonghe used it to entertain high-ranking officials of the Immortal Court back then.

Ning Zhongzi glanced at Lu Ya and stepped forward to introduce.

"This is Elder Fan Ni, the Beast Tamer of the White Lotus Sect. He is the one I mentioned to Senior Brother last time, the Elder who bravely retreated after being attacked by two people while hunting the Kunpeng brothers in the Beast Nest Forest."

Oh, it's Elder Fan Ni...

Lu Ya nodded, completely forgetting that Ning Zhongzi had mentioned this before.

But, as a Half-step Immortal Venerable, being defeated by two Nine-star Immortal Sects, you can only be a tool.

Thinking like this, Lu Ya casually gestured for him to sit.

"Sit."

Fan Ni didn't expect the mortal in front of him to be Lu Ya!

But when he and Ning Zhongzi came to the inn, he didn't see anyone coming out of the Kun's belly, nor did he detect any spiritual fluctuations around.

How did this person suddenly appear in the inn?

Fan Ni was extremely worried and dared not sit, saying:

"I have recently been troubled by a spiritual ailment and cannot sit."

Troubled by a spiritual ailment? Is that so?

Lu Ya raised an eyebrow and finally took a closer look at the Half-step Immortal Venerable in front of him.

He had a well-built figure and a decent appearance, but something about him seemed off.

But as a Half-step Immortal Venerable, his aura was still very powerful, much stronger than Jin Pengzi!

How could a Half-step Immortal Venerable lose to two Nine-star Immortal Sects?

Lu Ya didn't want to delay too long and asked directly:

"Elder Fan, did you just want this Kun?"

Fan Ni suddenly became nervous and quickly denied:

"Senior Lu is joking. For thousands of years, the White Lotus Sect and the Bamboo Spring Sect have always been friendly sects. I thought this Kun was causing trouble for your esteemed sect, so I wanted to take care of the trouble. Since Senior Lu has already killed it, it naturally belongs to your esteemed sect."

Are people from the White Lotus Sect always this cautious?

Lu Ya thought to himself.

Since that's the case, considering that this guy is still somewhat decent and hasn't crossed the line too much, Lu Ya decided to give him a chance to reform and become a tool again.

With a casual thought, Lu Ya came up with a plan to ignite a huge explosion of public opinion in Dongfu City.

But he wouldn't do it personally.

A tool.

"In fact, this Kun was indeed once the property of the White Lotus Sect, so you should have a share."

Fan Ni was slightly taken aback.

"Hmm?"

"But there is a condition."

"What condition?"

"You bring dozens of plates of Kun meat and distribute them for free to the Scattered Immortals in Dongfu City. Each immortal can only receive one serving for free. This will promote the reputation of Qingluan City. If they want to taste more, they can come to Yuelai Inn in the Bamboo Spring Sect."

I, the Half-step Immortal Venerable, am supposed to promote a third-rate small sect for you?

Fan Ni revealed a hint of charm.

"This..."

Lu Ya immediately threw a bamboo slip to Fan Ni.

Fan Ni lowered his head and saw a black square maze pattern carved on it.

"This bamboo slip contains a video QR code that shows the cooking process of the giant kun. Scan it with WeChat... no, scan it with divine sense, and you will be able to see the cooking style of the giant kun."

"This..."

Lu Ya continued:

"I believe that with Elder Fan's prestige in the Dongfu District, no one will mistake you for a fraud, and no one will question the safety of the Bamboo Spring Sect."

"This..."

"In addition, for every immortal who comes to the Yuelai Inn to consume, I will give you a commission of a piece of kun meat. How about that?"

A commission for kun meat?

Do you think I'm feeding dogs?

Fan Ni had never suffered such humiliation before.

But it was true that the kun meat was very fragrant.

The spiritual power contained in it felt even purer than that of high-grade elixirs!

"But I am the Beast-taming Elder of the White Lotus Sect, isn't it inappropriate?"

"Pre-sale Elder, it's very appropriate."

Lu Ya made a pun and continued:

"Moreover, didn't you just say that the White Lotus Sect and the Bamboo Spring Sect have always been friendly sects? You wouldn't refuse this small favor, would you?"

"This..."

Under Lu Ya's combination of grace and power, Fan Ni's thoughts quickly turned, and he soon came up with a plan to wash away his bad reputation!

In his opinion, victory between men didn't necessarily have to be determined through battle.

Men could also attract and cooperate with each other, progressing together.

First, sell this guy a favor, and take the opportunity to secretly investigate his background and strength.

If he's strong, we'll be friends.

If he's weak, hehehehe...

Lu Ya glanced at Fan Ni with a deep look, feeling that this guy was thinking of something disgusting, so he pushed the kun meat in front of him.

"Give it a try."

Fan Ni finally sat down and picked up a piece of fatty kun meat with his two fingers, seductively putting it into his plump lips.

His expression suddenly froze.

He felt like he was ascending.

After a long time.

The delicious flush faded from his face, leaving only the shock coming from his stomach.

What kind of divine culinary skill was this?

Perhaps it was due to the stimulation of the delicious taste, or perhaps he wanted to secretly owe Lu Ya a favor.

He suddenly reminded Lu Ya:

"I know that Senior Lu is very powerful, but you shouldn't underestimate the power of this beast tide. Before I go to the Dongfu City, it is necessary to remind you of three things."

Although Lu Ya was truly invincible, he still curiously asked:

"What are the three things?"

Fan Ni's gaze focused, instantly restoring the coldness of an Immortal Venerable.

"First, never underestimate the power of this beast tide."

"Second, never underestimate the woman called Jiuhu Xian."

"Third, the most dangerous one, never underestimate the former sect master of my sect, Yunzhonghe!"
