Chapter 18 What does a normal fox call?
Li Muyang left the management bureau and fell asleep from exhaustion. He didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.
The three guys in the dorm have all returned.
"Hey, Li, are you alright? You slept for so long? We couldn't wake you up no matter how much we called you. We were thinking of calling the counselor and the hospital." Wang Yifei rushed over to ask with concern when he saw Li Muyang wake up.
"Or maybe it was that spirit beast in your gourd that suddenly came out and said you're fine, don't worry about it, you're just tired and need to rest a bit more." Seeing that Li Muyang had woken up, Fan Zichen brought over a takeout order and handed it to him: "Are you hungry? Eat first."
"Uh...you're welcome." Li Muyang didn't waste any words. He was indeed a bit hungry, so he took the food and started eating heartily.
"We've been feeding your little white fox on time, don't worry," Lu Xiaobo said from the side. "We haven't let your little pet go hungry."
Little Whitey is howling... Come to think of it, Li Muyang remembers that this little guy could call out "brother," so why hasn't she said a word lately? Could she really think he's a fox?
"Thank you very much!" Li Muyang clasped his hands in thanks.
“Hey! Why be so polite with me, my son?” Lu Xiaobo said, waving his hand.
Li Muyang was too lazy to argue anymore, rolled his eyes and continued eating.
"Burp~ I'm back to life." Li Muyang finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing his takeout in one go.
"Are you really alright? You seemed to be dreaming just now, muttering 'Go easy on me' every now and then. What happened? Did you get beaten up in your dream?" Wang Yifei asked curiously, "Or did you get poisoned by eating mushrooms or pokeweed?"
Li Muyang's face darkened: "I recognize him!"
"So you were just dreaming about being bullied? What the hell! How dare they bully our dorm's meal ticket... Godfather! Father Li! Tell me! Who dared to do this?!" Lu Xiaobo shouted loudly, his eyes wide with anger and indignation.
"You've revealed your true thoughts!" Li Muyang retorted expressionlessly, then changed the subject and explained, "It was like a dream. I got beaten up by a big shot, but it was also like getting beaten up while teaching someone a skill."
"Could this be the legendary dream cultivation method?!" Fan Zichen exclaimed in amazement.
"Pfft! Stop reading novels!" Wang Yifei slapped the goofy guy aside and then seriously asked Li Muyang, "Old Li, are you really alright? Are you sure there aren't any bad guys trying to pull some dirty tricks on you? This is really unusual! Or maybe it's not some pyramid scheme? Or maybe you've been targeted by some cult?"
"Do you remember the last time we went fishing..."
"Stop!" Li Muyang hurriedly called out, "It's all over now, brother, please don't mention it again. You know how terrifying that river monster was! I still have psychological trauma from thinking about it! I wonder how that brave uncle who intervened is doing?"
"Don't worry, it's okay if I dream. No one is trying to frame me. Besides, who would bother to scheme against an ordinary college student like me? Brother Wang, you're the one who should read less online novels! You're poisoning the minds and bodies of teenagers!"
"We're just worried about you!" Wang Yifei glared at Li Muyang with helpless, dead fish eyes and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't hide if you're really in trouble! What kind of relationship do we have? We're like father and son!"
"Let me make this clear first, I am the father," Li Muyang emphasized solemnly.
"You unfilial son!" Wang Yifei exclaimed indignantly!
"Damn it! Your meal will be halved tomorrow!"
"Father Li!"
"Oh! What a big boy!"
After making sure the eldest member of the dorm understood his place in the hierarchy, Li Muyang, full of energy, went into the spirit beast gourd for a stroll, but hadn't even had a chance to examine it properly yet.
He doesn't need to prepare dinner today; the three of them have already ordered takeout. They're just worried that Li Muyang might continue sleeping. If he doesn't wake up soon, they won't listen to what Shennong Beast said; they'll call an ambulance and contact the counselor directly.
When Li Muyang and Xiaobai entered the spirit beast gourd's manor, he was immediately startled because a large piece of land had appeared on the otherwise peaceful farm plain! And a lot of crops were planted on it!
So, does the Shennong beast have some skills in this area?
Looking at the smug Shennong beast beside him, Li Muyang pointed to the ground in astonishment and asked, "You did this? What did you use to clear the land? You finished all this work in one night?"
Shennong Beast looked up smugly: "I don't have many hobbies! I like farming! Making myself some snacks! This land is so good! The soil is excellent! It would be a shame not to plant something!"
"As for reclamation... Mu Yang, you haven't studied the function of this gourd at all, have you? This space seems to have come with functions similar to a farm or ranch."
Upon hearing Shennong Beast's words, Li Muyang tried swiping in front of him... and the QQ Farm/Ranch interface appeared.
Suddenly I remembered that my dad really enjoys playing this game; it's probably his only form of leisure and entertainment besides work, research, eating, and going to the bathroom.
Shennong Beast continued, "However, these crops were indeed all grown by me... Don't look at me like that, I only just discovered and awakened a new ability!"
Li Muyang ran to the farm, picked a cucumber, wiped it with his hand, and took a bite right there. Mmm! Purely natural and pollution-free, without any added chemicals, crunchy and delicious! It even contains a hint of spiritual energy! Really good!
The problem of food supplies has been solved. Although we want to do wholesale business with this farm, the output is still a bit insufficient, but it is more than enough for our own use.
Since the Shennong Beast can't stay outside for long periods right now, growing some land in the spirit beast gourd is a good pastime.
The man and his two beasts picked some crops and sat by the spiritual spring, eating and chatting.
"Little White, tell me honestly, do you even know how to talk?" Li Muyang asked, picking up the little white fox with both hands.
Little White tilted its head, its two big eyes fixed on Li Muyang. After a long while, it finally spoke, saying in a childish voice, "Brother, Little White can talk! But... won't talking outside scare other people? Normal foxes shouldn't speak human language, right?"
"Are you a normal fox? You're a tailed beast! You're a spirit beast!" Li Muyang explained, half-laughing and half-crying. "Isn't it normal to be able to talk? I was worried you were underdeveloped. By the way, where did you get the idea that you can't talk?"
Xiao Bai turned around and continued to tilt his head in thought. After a moment, he suddenly realized, "Oh, right!"
Then, she timidly explained to Li Muyang why she thought the fox couldn't speak: "Because my brother's friends in the dormitory said that such a small fox shouldn't be able to talk, right?"
Well, to put it simply, while Li Muyang was sleeping, the three in the dorm were teasing Xiaobai. Wang Yifei kept asking Xiaobai all sorts of questions, while Fan Zichen and Lu Xiaobo next to him complained, "How can such a small fox understand what you're saying? Isn't this a joke?"
Then Xiaobai remembered it. Since the little fox couldn't speak human language, she never actually spoke, just pretended to be a fox.
Having understood the whole story, Li Muyang didn't say anything more. He simply put aside his worries, thinking that something had happened to Xiaobai, but that everything was alright.
Little White is growing incredibly fast, it's almost unbelievable. After absorbing the spiritual liquid, it's now about the size of a teddy bear, with incredibly smooth fur that feels amazing to the touch! I buried my head in Little White's soft little belly… plus its adorable appearance… oh~ sounds of pure bliss!
I'm gradually coming to understand King Zhou.
This isn't the largest size Xiaobai can maintain; she says she can get even bigger, about the size of the police car that Li Ma drove not long ago.
Wow... that's about 6 to 7 meters long!
It's obvious that she can still grow! Keep in mind that the Nine-Tails, a tailed beast, is roughly 50 to 100 meters tall! That's about the same size as the complete Susanoo!
Maintaining my current figure is mainly so I can snuggle in Li Muyang's arms and act cute... I love it so much~ I like it even more now~
A little fox like you was born to be eaten by your brother~ Hehehe~ (Shi Ji Niangniang's voice)
Shennong Beast is jealous.
Forget it, as the older brother, I have to be steady!
The proud and aloof beast was grabbed by Li Muyang and given a good rub! Actually, the Shennong Beast felt pretty good too! It had a very valuable feel to it! Cool and refreshing!
After playing with his two friends for a while, Li Muyang returned to the dormitory. It was already dark, and the three of them were playing games in a three-player squad.
"You didn't invite me to play games? Carry me with you after this round!" Li Muyang waved his hand, casually preparing for battle!
"We thought you weren't playing anymore. You've found a new love and forgotten about us old friends." The three rolled their eyes. You woke up and immediately crawled into the spirit beast gourd. They thought Li Muyang had gone to spend time with the spirit beast.
For glory! War!
Meanwhile, in a laboratory at a Chinese research institute, Li's father was studying the cells in front of him with a shocked expression.
"Amazing! The owner of this thing isn't at a very high level of life, and might even be an ordinary person who has barely cultivated! Yet his cells possess such powerful, even violent, life energy?! It also seems to be hiding powerful wood-attribute spiritual energy? But why does it feel like something fused together from water and earth? How can these two things fuse to create wood element?! This is not scientific! It's definitely not like cultivating immortality!"
Hmm, in Li's father's eyes, Hashirama Senju was just an ordinary person who had barely trained?
The main reason is that chakra is not very effective in improving one's level of life; it is just a kind of energy. If Hashirama Senju hadn't also cultivated natural energy, he probably wouldn't even qualify as someone who had "barely cultivated" in Li's father's eyes. He would just be a kid with a gun who could use some kind of systemic power.
For chakra to undergo a qualitative change, it must be similar to the Sage of Six Paths or the Otsutsuki clan, where quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and the level of life advances! In a sense, it can be said to be an instant ascension to immortality.
Of course, in Li Muyang's world, the Sage of Six Paths or Otsutsuki are not considered true immortals, but only at the Mahayana stage, equivalent to celestial beings or terrestrial immortals.
If it is the legendary Otsutsuki god, Otsutsuki Shibai, then perhaps he is truly at the level of a sage, and his omniscience and omnipotence are relative.
Li's father was unaware of these things, but even these were just first-generation cells, enough for him to create many things! For example, developing life-extending drugs that could be taken by organisms with lower cultivation levels!
