Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Progress within the Farm and Unusual Actions

A knock on the door startled me. Who may or not it’s at this hour? The individuals of Riverside weren’t the sort to go to in the course of the evening.

One thing was mistaken. I felt a surge of worry and began to tremble. I glanced at Large. F, who was sleeping peacefully in his aquarium.

I noticed my reflection on the glass: tall, 1.86 meters in peak. My brown hair was medium-length and silky, envied by many.

My pores and skin and muscle tissue have been in nice form. I spotted how a lot I had modified since I left Earth, the place I used to be a frail mortal who may die any minute from an accident or a illness.

I used to be now a cultivator! My energy within the third layer of Qi Condensation was not spectacular, nevertheless it needs to be sufficient to defend myself.

I approached the door, reached for the knob and opened it. I anticipated to see a bandit with a sword or a dagger, demanding every part I had.

However to my shock, the individual outdoors was a younger lady in a protracted cloak, just like those worn by the Cloud Sect.

“I am sorry for disturbing you so late,” she stated, gasping for air. “This may increasingly sound bizarre, however can I are available?”

I sensed her aura and discovered she was within the first layer of Qi Condensation. She was weaker than me and didn’t appear harmful, so I let her in.

“Positive, are available,” I stated, stepping apart.

She walked to the eating desk and sat on a chair.

“Would you like some water?” I supplied.

She smiled and stated, “Sure, thanks very a lot.”

I questioned why she got here to my door at evening. She seemed sweaty and anxious.

Was somebody chasing her?

The very first thing that crossed my thoughts was how oddly she behaved. I went to the window of my cabin and seemed outdoors, hoping to catch a glimpse of whoever could be after her, however I noticed nothing.

“Effectively, I suppose I owe you an evidence for my sudden arrival,” the lady stated, setting the glass of water again on the desk. “I am truly an immortal!”

I knew that already, however I pretended to be shocked, widening my eyes and overlaying my mouth. “Actually?”

She appeared happy by my response and continued together with her story.

“I am only a low-level cultivator, nothing exceptional. As I used to be telling you, I bumped into a strong beast within the close by forest and needed to escape. That is how I ended up at your door. May you let me keep right here for a number of days? My senior will come for me quickly!”

I wasn’t thrilled about having a stranger in my home, even a phenomenal lady. However I agreed anyway.

“Alright. I am Tian Li, and also you?”

“Wan Yu. It is a pleasure to satisfy you!”

“Effectively, I haven’t got an additional room, so you may sleep in mine and I will take the sofa. Is that okay?” I requested. n(-O).v/-ε-.l(-B.)I-/n

She blushed and stated shyly, “Positive, that is wonderful.”

I had no concept what was occurring in her head, however I made a decision to disregard it and go on with my life as standard.

One factor I observed was that she was good to me, although she thought I used to be a mere mortal. That was uncommon amongst cultivators, and possibly it was as a result of she was nonetheless weak herself. Most of them have been conceited, particularly those that referred to as themselves younger masters…

Oh, younger masters. I hoped I would not run into one in all them. They might solely trigger me bother. Anyway, I received some new blankets for Wan Yu and slept in the lounge whereas she took my mattress.

The remainder of the evening was peaceable. I do not recall waking up once more till the following morning.

I used to be stunned to discover a breakfast ready for me once I received up.

“Eggs?” I requested.

I did not have any chickens on my farm but, so the place did Wan Yu get the eggs from? And the

She jumped when she noticed me behind her.

“I received up early and went to the village to purchase them. Don’t fret, I used my very own cash,” she stated.

Wan Yu cooked some eggs and rice over a small hearth, filling the air with a heat and savory aroma. I used to be not choosy about meals, so I appreciated her easy meal.

We sat on the desk and ate in silence for some time. Then Wan Yu requested me, “Do you want any assistance on the farm?”

“Thanks for the supply, however you do not have to. You possibly can spend your time doing what immortals do. I am positive they’re laborious and exhausting.”

She smiled faintly and stated, “Talking of immortals, you look about my age. Have you ever ever considered taking a take a look at to hitch a sect? I do know that many individuals cannot turn into immortals, nevertheless it’s price a attempt…”

She appeared genuinely frightened about me, however I did not inform her that I had already joined and left a sect. Effectively, I had no intention of becoming a member of one other one, at the least for now.

“I am sorry, however I’ve no expertise for this stuff. I would quite keep right here on my farm,” I stated.

Wan Yu revered my emotions and dropped the topic. As we had agreed, she stayed in meditation and practiced her methods whereas I labored on the farm.

The employees I employed had achieved a lot of the new buildings, and so they seemed simply as I wished. They have been sturdy and spacious, mixing effectively with the pure surroundings.

The fruit and veggies I planted have been sprouting. I spent the morning weeding and eliminating the bugs that attempted to eat my crops. I used a few of my cultivation expertise to boost their development and high quality, however the impact was delicate. What I hoped was the assistance of my system, however I must wait until the crops have been good to reap.

Large T was all the time there, croaking close to the effectively. He was all the time consuming the bugs in my plot, and checked out me with clever eyes. We have been good associates.

Every part was going effectively, and since I had some free time, I made a decision to hitch the looking group from the village.

“So that you confirmed up right this moment!” A voice greeted me as I arrived on the assembly level.

The one who stated that was the identical man who invited me to the looking group. A cultivator within the first layer of Qi Condensation. His identify was Kang Duyi.

Kang Duyi introduced two extra males, who have been regulars on the looking group. They weren’t immortals, however mortals with some looking expertise.

“What is the plan for right this moment?” I requested.

“The standard, however some villagers reported some bizarre noises within the forest close by, so we’ll examine that out too!” Kang Duyi stated.

I agreed and adopted them to the forest, carrying a backpack with some survival gear, a sword and a picket bow. I hoped it might be an eventful day.
