Chapter 5: Understanding the Modern World

Ye Yun looked at the girl hovering on the edge of an explosion with a face full of curiosity.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his many questions; after all, he hadn't gone down the mountain for a long time and had no idea what this world was like now, feeling like a newborn infant, full of curiosity about this fresh world.

"How could I have run into such a… ancestor? If he weren't handsome, I would have just smashed him with a brick and ended his sinful life."

Li Yan silently cursed Ye Yun in her heart, but still slowly explained the questions he had asked.

"The thing that runs on the road is called a car! It's a mode of transportation; that kind of building is called a building, and it has stairs inside, so the way to go downstairs and exit isn't to jump down!!! As for the sign in the sky, I'm not good at explaining that; figure it out yourself......."

"Doesn't this person get thirsty? Just answering questions makes my mouth dry, yet he isn't thirsty at all—Ahhh—I'm going crazy! Help!"

"Master! Stop chanting the tightening spell!!!"

A beautiful girl was driven mad by this Taoist.

After a long time, Ye Yun finally gained some understanding of the present world.

The viewers in the livestream felt themselves drifting to sleep.

"My god, this guy finally finished asking, and the world has finally returned to calm."

"Please, Master brother, start a livestream focusing on late‑night sleep; it'll definitely be a hit!!"

People in the livestream wildly mocked Ye Yun, while on the other side, the Sun family courtyard in Longguo Haiyan City was bustling.

"Grandpa! What should we bring this time? This is our first time seeing an immortal; I'm a bit nervous."

Sun Gong was indeed nervous; when Sun Liwen confirmed that Ye Yun was the one who helped the great‑grandfather, Sun Gong started to worry. After all, a hundred years had passed, and Ye Yun still retained his appearance from a century ago—he must be an immortal.

Moreover, the Sun family's current achievements owe much to Ye Yun's earlier guidance to their great‑grandfather; Ye Yun is a great benefactor of the whole Sun clan.

"Your question really stumped me; I haven't thought it through either. After all, Immortal Ye Yun is a deity, and what we can offer are merely worldly things—how could they catch his divine eye?"

The grandfather and grandson wrestled with it for a long time, unable to think of a satisfactory gift, and finally settled on investing in Immortal Ye's Taoist temple to improve its environment.

The duo, in a hurry, led most of the Sun family in luxury cars to Ye Yun's location, even dreaming that Immortal Ye might stay at the Sun household.

What they didn't know is that Ye Yun had just come down the mountain and only had a vague grasp of this world; whatever the grandfather and grandson gave him, he would like, since he'd never seen it before.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Yan forcibly dragged Ye Yun to a nearby small restaurant.

Being tangled with this guy for a while, I'm starving to death; is this guy planning to starve this little fairy to death?

Although Ye Yun is an earth‑immortal and doesn't need to eat, since he asked so many questions, he decided to eat with her as compensation.

The two ordered a table full of dishes; Li Yan would never have ordered so much before, as she couldn't afford it and such waste would lead to bankruptcy, but now it's different—just now the livestream received a ten‑million tip from Sun Gong, so they must feast properly.

Now I'm rich too! The thought makes me a bit excited. Although Li Yan isn't vain and is a practical girl, suddenly having money can't not make her happy; who would dislike having lots of cash?

Ye Yun looked at the dishes before him, inhaled the wafting aromas, and his eyes instantly lit up!

"Oh? This flavor… *cough cough* I'm not trying to eat this dish; to guard against poison, I'll taste it for you first!"

Well, isn't that excuse a bit far‑fetched?

Testing poison? Who would poison anyone in this era?

"I was literally one punctuation mark away from believing your nonsense. No, stop!!! Put that piece of meat down! I saw it first; you're not allowed to eat it."

The two thus began a battle over the dishes; Li Yan truly had it hard—most of the money she earned before went to her family, and her own food, clothing, and shelter were just scraped together. Now that she finally has money and no longer worries about those things, a 'robber' shows up.

The two swept through like a whirlwind, quickly clearing the battlefield. One must say Ye Yun's appetite… is truly indescribable.

Watching Ye Yun eat, Li Yan was stunned: does this person really have such a huge appetite?

Ye Yun himself didn't realize his appetite was so massive; normally he never eats, being an earth‑immortal, and now he's embarrassed that mortal food makes him act like this (hehe, but it's truly tasty!).

Suddenly, Ye Yun felt a stir in his heart, vaguely sensing his earth‑binding power loosen.

"Um… could it be that this dish is so delicious that it caused my earth‑binding power to loosen??"

A hint of doubt arose in Ye Yun's mind: could his destiny be food? No way—I'm a proper earth‑immortal; could a tasty meal make my earth‑binding power loosen?

What Ye Yun didn't know is that the real cause of his earth‑binding power loosening was Li Yan; why Li Yan caused this is still unknown and may require Ye Yun's future research.

Li Yan watched as a tiny deer in Ye Yun's contemplative heart flickered.

"The way this guy thinks seriously is... quite handsome, especially his jawline… as if cut with a knife; this face is truly perfect~"

Goodness, Li Yan didn't expect herself to be so infatuated, but she can't be blamed; after all, Ye Yun is an immortal, born of the world's spirit, so it's normal.

In a great mood, Li Yan gave him ten‑thousand whys, talking about the questions in her heart; it seems admiring a handsome guy can truly lift one's spirits.

After lengthy conversation and Li Yan's problem‑solving, Ye Yun finally understood the present society.

Alright, I have to admit it's mainly because Ye Yun is clever.

Of course the two jokers had already turned off the livestream, mainly because Li Yan cared about her image; after all, she'd been hungry for a long time and couldn't guarantee that her eating would be captured for memes, so she shut it down.

Otherwise, everyone would still be mocking Ye Yun's appetite and his borrowed mouth at this point.
