“I’m sorry. I just zoned out…”

‘What did he say? Zoned out? Zoned out my as*!’

Yu Ge felt his world view had been refreshed. He could not believe that the young man before him was not affected by his Freeze Incantation. ‘This is a Penglai Immortal Spell! How could he not be affected?!’

Even an S-cla.s.s superhuman would be controlled by the Freeze Incantation for at least thirty seconds. However, the young man before him was unaffected at all.

The pain from the fox’s bite on Yu Ge’s finger seemed less p.r.o.nounced now. He stared with wide eyes at Bu Fang—his graceful air of an immortal seemed to have faded a lot.

Foxy loosened her mouth, turned to the side, and spat out her tongue with a disgusted look. Bu Fang gave her head a gentle rub and looked indifferently at the man.

‘A Qi cultivator from Penglai?’ he thought to himself. He was really zoned out just now. His return to Earth this time had not only found the revival of spiritual energy, but also all sorts of strange events, which filled him with doubts and confusion.

The revival of spiritual energy had produced superhumans. This was a little strange. However…What about those Qi cultivators? Unlike superhumans, Qi cultivators were supposed to be a.s.sociated with mystical immortals in ancient times.

There were a lot of myths in Hua, including the Buddha in the West, the celestial court, and demons… Bu Fang wanted to look for the sleeping Artifact Spirits, and he had an intuition that the places where they slept must have something to do with these immortals.

Therefore, the way he looked at Yu Ge became gentler.

The rain was still falling. Holding the oiled paper umbrella, Yu Ge took a few steps back, causing the water filled with spiritual energy to splash with every step. Rainwater kept falling from the edge of the umbrella, forming a curtain of droplets that obscured one’s gaze.

“Who are you?” He narrowed his eyes. The fact that the Freeze Incantation was ineffective against Bu Fang had thrown him into confusion. All of his original plans were messed up. ‘No wonder he could tame the nine-tailed fox. There is definitely a big secret in this young man… Is he a Qi cultivator from some sect?’ he thought.

“Well, I have a question for you…” Bu Fang said after thinking for a moment, and then he took a step forward.

Yu Ge was already on his guard—he did not dare to let Bu fang approach him. His eyes shone brightly in an instant as he murmured something under his breath and waved his hand. The next moment, a white beam shot out of his finger and sped toward Bu Fang.

Bu Fang made no effort to dodge. Instead, he raised a hand, caught the white beam, and crushed it with a squeeze of his palm in a very casual manner.

Yu Ge was stunned. He was a Qi cultivator, and his strength was equivalent to that of an S-cla.s.s superhuman. However, when standing before this young man, he felt as if he were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

He had not had this feeling for many years. After cultivating in the Immortal Island of Penglai for years, he thought he was successful in his cultivation, but as soon as he came to the city, he ran into a tough opponent.

“Stop that now… I’m just going to ask you a question.” Bu Fang’s brows furrowed slightly.

This Yu Ge’s attacks proved to be more advanced than those superhumans and Beastmasters. The white beam he unleashed just now could be considered as an energy beam. It contained a rich amount of spiritual energy, which was a means that compressed spiritual energy to physical form and turned it into an attack.

‘Perhaps this is the so-called immortal means,” Bu Fang thought to himself. He took another step forward, still holding Foxy in his arms.

Like a bird frightened by the bowstring, Yu Ge kicked the ground and darted backward. The oiled paper umbrella had been thrown aside by him. His sleeves were already soaked through by rain, and yet they still fluttered lightly.

As he moved back, he put his forefinger and middle finger together to form what looked like the tip of a sword. A warm sword light immediately emerged, wheeling around him and whistling loudly.

“Penglai Sword Finger…”

Yu Ge’s eyes were very serious as if he were facing the enemy of his life. He had to bring the nine-tailed fox back no matter what, so his clash with Bu Fang was inevitable. On top of that, he held a strong contempt for those who were strong but pretending to be weak!

With a whistle, the sword light pierced through the air and shot toward Bu Fang. It was very fast, almost surpa.s.sing the speed of sound. However, when it was one inch away from him, it was pinched by his fingers.

Bu Fang had only exerted a little force, and the sword light instantly broke with a crisp snapping sound. Just like that, a fine steel sword had broken into two halves and fell to the ground…

The atmosphere was frozen for a moment. Yu Ge stared blankly at Bu Fang, his eyes wide as he screamed inwardly, ‘My Penglai Sword Finger is a real immortal skill, and yet… it was broken so easily? This guy must be a skillful Qi cultivator as well!’

Terrified, he slapped his hip. A purple gourd flew out in an instant, hovering in midair and spinning rapidly. Then, with a thought in his mind, the gourd’s mouth popped open, and countless sword lights came pouring out of it, enveloping Bu Fang in a flash.

What happened here had already terrified many people. They could not believe what they saw. Were those flying sword lights a… special effect? No, those were two immortals fighting each other! People began to gather around, took out their smartphones, and kept taking pictures.

Yu Ge could care less about these people now. The sword lights kept falling, hacking the ground and sending dirt flying in all directions. This was his Sword Gourd, a magic treasure specially used to subdue demons and devils. He was forced by Bu Fang to unleash it.

If he could not suppress Bu Fang today and failed to bring the nine-tailed fox back, his reputation would be completely destroyed. Staring at the countless sword lights, Yu Ge’s eyes shone dazzlingly. He believed that… Bu Fang could never resist his sword lights!

Suddenly, Yu Ge froze. He found that his sword lights kept disappearing as if they were devoured by something. The next moment, a figure emerged…

Foxy’s mouth was wide open as she kept inhaling. When the last sword light entered her mouth, she burped, then found a good spot in Bu Fang’s arms and curled up comfortably.

The corner of Yu Ge’s mouth twitched. ‘How did all my sword lights get eaten? And why is that guy not hurt at all?!’

Bu Fang’s face was indifferent. He had just wanted to ask a question, and now it seemed that he had no choice but to resort to force. The Sword Gourd was spinning rapidly in midair. Bu Fang flicked his finger. The air popped and turned into a bullet, which shot toward the gourd, hit it, and broke it into pieces in an instant.

‘Dammit…’ Yu Ge was struck dumb. After taking a look at Bu Fang, who was holding the fox and had a mantis shrimp on his shoulder, he turned to flee without hesitation.

He finally realized the gap between him and Bu Fang after hitting walls several times in a row. This inconspicuous young man was a… mighty G.o.d! He wanted to flee and return to the Immortal Island of Penglai! However, as soon as he turned around, a terrible pressure pressed down on him, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

‘The terrible will that filled the air… Is it f*cking… divine sense?!’ With a terrified look in his eyes, Yu Ge opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but…

Bu Fang walked up to Yu Ge. He chose to deal with this Qi cultivator, who had an overwhelming desire to survive, in a simple yet violent way. With a rumble, he knocked the guy unconscious and took him away. He would ask the question when the cultivator woke up.

The farce was over. The people around flushed with excitement. As they watched Bu Fang leave, they took out their smartphones to upload the pictures they had captured to the Internet. However, they were stunned to find that all the pictures in their phones had been erased.

…

Yu Ge woke up—he felt something licking his face. He opened his eyes and saw a simple apartment. ‘Where am I? What am I doing? What happened?’ After asking himself these questions, he recalled that he was not a captive.

The air was filled with a rich fragrance. When he smelled it, Yu Ge found that his stomach began to rumble. ‘How is this possible? As a Qi cultivator, I’ve already gotten used to fasting…’ He had not eaten any food for years, and yet he felt hungry now. ‘But it smells really delicious…’ A complicated look came over his face.

He turned around and saw that the little fox was licking his face. The nine-tailed fox was a supreme-grade spirit beast, and his master had asked him to bring it back. Now it looked like he might fail to complete the task.

“You’re awake?”

Bu Fang glanced at Yu Ge. With a shake of his hand, he tossed the dish in the wok up into the air, which glowed beautifully and emanated a rich aura that spread through the air.

Bu Fang had cooked it with the food ingredients in the System’s storage s.p.a.ce. As his divine sense was suppressed, he could not go to the Heaven and Earth Farmland, but he could still take out the things in the System’s storage s.p.a.ce.

It was a simple bowl of dragon-blood egg-fried rice. A tantalizing aroma wafted out of it, making the mouths of those who smelled it water.

Bu Fang filled a small bowl and placed it on the table. “If you’re awake, come over here and eat this. I’ve questions to ask you after you are full. Stop struggling. You can’t even defeat my mantis shrimp… You’re too weak.”

Yu Ge felt insulted, yet he didn’t say a word. He was a Qi cultivator from the Immortal Island of Penglai, and he was very strong! Even though he was not as strong as the immortals in those ancient myths, he was not too weak either!

Still, under Bu Fang’s gaze, he got up, came up to the dining table with his weak legs, and took a deep breath. “This smells so good…” His stomach rumbled again as he fixed his eyes on the simple egg-fried rice in the small bowl. The blood-colored rice and the golden egg gleamed beautifully.

At some point, Foxy had already darted up the table and began to enjoy the fried rice. As for Shrimpy, it perched on Bu Fang’s shoulder, spitting bubbles.

Impatiently, Yu Ge grabbed a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of egg-fried rice, and shoved it into his mouth. The bursting fragrance and the delicious taste that almost caused his tongue to tie up intoxicated him instantly. All that was left in his eyes now was the bowl of fried rice. He had never tasted such delicious rice.

After finis.h.i.+ng the first spoon of rice, he ate the second spoon, then the third… Suddenly, his pupils constricted. ‘There are only three spoonfuls of egg-fried rice in this bowl? Did he do this on purpose? He must be! He is too evil!’

Bu Fang ate his egg-fried rice at a steady pace, ignoring Yu Ge’s reactions and resentful eyes.

“I never thought there would be a day when I, Yu Ge, would be conquered by a bowl of egg-fried rice… But can you give me a few more spoonfuls?” Yu Ge leaned back in a chair and stared resentfully at Bu Fang.

Bu Fang gave him a sideways glance. “Sure, but you have to answer my questions first…”

Yu Ge flipped his hair, looked at Bu Fang, and said, “Tell me your questions, and I will answer them… for the sake of the egg-fried rice.”

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. “The revival of spiritual energy on Earth… What exactly is going on?” he said lightly.

Upon hearing the question, Yu Ge, who looked relaxed, stiffened in an instant.
