Chapter 164: The Trouble of Having No Eyebrows

~6 min read 1,118 words

Once upon a time there was a celestial realm, and one cultivator there was a transmigrator who cultivated for a few months and then obtained powerful magical power.

Transmigrators, you see! They all have a golden finger. At the start they obtain a powerful beast‑pet divine dragon.

This beast‑pet is far stronger than the western kind of divine dragon; although it has no wings, its size is much larger, and it can spew fire, spit water, summon wind and rain, and change its body to be as big as it wishes or as small as it wishes.

With such a strong talent, this cultivator became impatient on the cultivation path; once he slipped, someone forcibly shaved his head, which was a considerable price to pay.

While this cultivator was depressed, a mountain spirit happened to break into his cave dwelling.

Isn't this a dish being voluntarily brought to my doorstep!?

The cultivator rejoiced greatly, wielded his powerful magic to suppress the mountain spirit and turn it into his treasure. But the mountain spirit also possessed high magical power, not comparable to an ordinary spirit mountain.

After a hard duel of techniques, the cultivator finally defeated the mountain spirit, causing it to reveal its true form: it was a delicate treasure mountain!

The cultivator had previously seen spirit mountains that were also picturesque, but this was his first encounter with such intricately arranged mountain ridges.

The spirit mountain did not completely give up; it conjured multiple mountain shadows, trapping the cultivator inside the mountain.

The cultivator, possessing strong magic, calmly roamed the mountain, first climbing two splendid peaks, then descending to a deep valley, seeking hidden secrets. This process took a little less than half an hour.

At last the cultivator broke through the maze and reached a deep valley within the mountain. There he saw a water‑curtain cave, dense with spiritual energy, surrounded by sparse spirit grass. It was clear that no cultivator had ever set foot there, making it an ideal place to nourish the beast‑pet divine dragon.

Thus the cultivator immediately opened up the water‑curtain cave and settled the beast‑pet divine dragon inside. "This place is the lifeblood of the spirit mountain; it cannot tolerate a cultivator's arrogance, so it fiercely resisted, trying to force the cultivator's beast‑pet out of the dwelling."

How could the cultivator's beast‑pet give up? It surged back into the water‑curtain cavern...

When the stalemate persisted, the cultivator produced a million spirit stones and said: as long as you submit to me, you will receive a million spirit stones each month.

Cultivation is hard now; without spirit stones, even daily life cannot continue. Anyway, that's how it is, the spirit mountain can only yield.

In the end the spirit mountain turned into an immobile delicate treasure mountain, still for the cultivator to roam within.

【8】 "Little Secretary, how is the story I told?"

Xiao Mi, how's the story I'm telling?

Lin Feng finished the story and, smiling, asked Tang Mi.

Tang Mi frowned and said, "Bad! This story is not exciting at all."

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "These cultivation stories are all ones I've read on online novels; I took a segment to tell you, so of course you find it unexciting.

Because these novels are long‑form, if you keep hearing me tell them, the story's momentum will grow and you'll realize it's very exciting."

"Later on, the cultivator will open dungeons to hunt treasure, using the beast‑pet divine dragon to acquire more spirit mountains... In short, it's more exciting than mortal cultivation!"

"Besides, this is your first time hearing me tell a story, so you feel this way; later you'll find it pleasant, as words let your mind imagine the scenes you most wish to see..."

Tang Mi shook her head repeatedly.

"Then shall I tell you a ghost story?" Lin Feng suggested.

Tang Mi was so frightened she jumped off the sofa.

She has been afraid of ghost stories since childhood.

Just now Lin Feng had dragged her through over an hour of cultivation story; her legs went numb, and after landing she did a split.

"Hahaha……"

Lin Feng smiled smugly.

At that moment, the phone rang.

Tang Mi seized the chance and got up from the floor.

Then she grabbed the bank card Lin Feng had given her and fled.

"Bang~"

The door was slammed shut heavily.

The incoming call was from Bei YuYao.

"Lin Feng brother, I miss you..."

Bei YuYao spoke in a very low voice.

But Lin Feng detected that the voice was off.

It was not Bei YuYao, but Old Two Bei LuHua.

She pretended to be Bei YuYao; what does that mean?

Lin Feng was intrigued and was about to suggest a place to meet.

Now Bei Yiren has been fully dealt with, so he can be bold and associate with the three Bei sisters.

But suddenly he thought of his own bald head.

"Sigh~"

Lin Feng sighed inwardly, his face helpless, and said, "YuYao, I have something here, I'm on a business trip out of town! I might not return until the mid‑teens of next month."

"I see..."

Bei LuHua's tone carried deep regret.

"In the middle of next month, I will definitely come find you."

Lin Feng promised.

"Alright!" Bei LuHua agreed.

After hanging up, Jiang Xiaofei called and invited Lin Feng to go out.

Lin Feng touched his bald head, shook his head and declined.

Soon after putting down the phone, Zhu Li called again.

Lin Feng touched his bald head and politely postponed the next meeting.

Now there should be no more calls coming, right?

Lin Feng lay on the sofa, his face full of regret.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again.

The caller ID displayed the three characters 'Shu Jingya'.

"Shu Jingya sis."

Lin Feng said with a smile.

Shu Jingya said, "It's Saturday, are you free?"

Lin Feng rubbed his head and gave a wry smile, saying, "I don't have time!"

Shu Jingya said regretfully, "I've been back in Yanjing for a while, and now I'm finally free; I want to eat the steak you made!"

Lin Feng likes it best when Shu Jingya, while eating steak, drops her fork on the floor…

But it's really embarrassing to go over with a bald head.

Being bald is okay, but losing the eyebrows is really hilarious.

Over the next half month, I really became a monk in seclusion.

Lin Feng made up his mind not to do anything bad to Qi Yao anymore.

The House Guarding Divine Beast is a divine beast because she is favored by heaven; if one tries to do harm without her consent, they will have to pay a price.
