Chapter 587: Blackie’s Leather Shorts, I Won’t Allow It
Time was insignificant when one lived in the mountains. The days in the four-part architecture quietly went by.
Five days had passed in the blink of an eye.
“One, two, three, four. Alright, left leg in, right foot out.
“Relax, relax.
“Imagine yourself being immersed in water. You’re floating with the waves…”
Daji, Fire Phoenix, Qin Manyun, and Shi Tuqin laid flat on the yoga mats. They were stretching their bodies in a row. They were slim and flexible with all sorts of poses.
Xiao Bai was the yoga coach who was speaking the instructions.
Perhaps yoga was liked by women. Ever since the last time, the four girls were obsessed with yoga. They unlocked new poses every day and reaped the benefits.
Li Nianfan was happy to see that at first. It was a sudden entertainment in his boring life. It was enjoyable to watch.
However, he soon felt troubled by it. ‘Who can handle a sight like this?’
Moreover, he had to maintain his image. He did not want to embarrass himself. It was a test on his acting skills.
‘A real painful and enjoyable experience.’
He had to distract himself by doing something else.
“Blackie, come here.”
He put down the needles and waved at Blackie.
Blackie straightened his ears and quickly ran over on all fours. He had puppy eyes as he barked and said, “Master, are my shorts done?”
Blackie knew Li Nianfan was making shorts for him. He had been waiting with anticipation.
Li Nianfan tugged on the shorts to test its flexibility. It felt quite nice. He smiled and said, “Try it and see if it fits.”
The shorts were made from the skin of Taotie. Li Nianfan was considerate of Blackie being bald. It was awful to look at. Blackie would embarrass himself, so he wanted to make a pair of shorts for him.
The material was custom made, too.
Taotie was a fierce Beast after all. Its skin seemed very decent. It was stretchable and hard to damage. Moreover, it was very breezy. It was the top material for clothes.
Blackie was not aware that Li Nianfan made the black shorts to distract himself from the girls. He thought his Master loved him. He was utterly excited.
He said excitedly, “Master, you’re so nice to me.”
Then, Blackie put on the shorts without hesitation.
The size was very fitting. The black shorts made Blackie’s buttocks look shiny. It was very sexy.
Li Nianfan asked, “How does it feel?”
“It feels great! It’s awesome! This is a wonderful pair of shorts.”
Blackie kept nodding and smiling. He felt like it was worth exchanging his dog fur for a pair of shorts!
After all, it was hand-sewn by his Master. It was one-of-a-kind!
Blackie started to hop around with his new clothes. He felt like he was floating. Blackie lifted his butt to the sky and swayed around. It was very flashy.
“The Master made me leather shorts!
“The Master made me leather shorts!”
Blackie could not wait to announce it to the world. He showed it off to the Firefinches. Then, he ran to the backyard to show it off to the Peacock and the Milk Cows.
The leather shorts were a sign of affection from his Master. He would wear it every day.
Li Nianfan suddenly regretted it when he saw how smug and flamboyant Blackie was. ‘Why do I feel like the leather shorts are making my dog embarrass himself more…?’
Knock knock.
Suddenly, they heard a knock at the door.
The four ladies stopped their yoga cultivation and answered the door. Someone unexpected came to visit.
A small figure bolted in and leaped onto Daji. She cutely said, “Hehe, sister. Do you miss me?”
It was Little Fox. Kunpeng also came along.
Kunpeng bowed and said with respect, “Greetings to the Lord Saint.”
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “No need to be courteous. Please, have a seat.”
It had been a month since he came back from Demon City. He did not expect them to visit so soon.
Little Fox peaked out from Daji’s embrace. She twitched her little nose and looked around with her bright eyes. She immediately leaped away from Daji and leaped onto Li Nianfan. She started to act coquettishly.
She cutely said, “Brother-in-law, I miss you so much~”
Li Nianfan saw through her. He laughed and asked, “Do you miss me or do you miss my food?”
“Hm… I miss both.”
Little Fox had bright shiny eyes. She straightened her tail. “Brother-in-law, I know you guys made delicious food. What smells so good?”
“Look over there.”
Li Nianfan pointed at the dumplings on the nearby table. He said, “You guys came at a coincidental time. We still have the last few dumplings with Taotie’s meat.”
Taotie was huge. The dumplings were delicious, but Li Nianfan had been eating a lot of dumplings recently. He could not handle it. He wanted to toss it away but Taotie meat was rare to come by…
It was nice that the little foodie had arrived.
“Wow. Thanks, brother-in-law.” Little Fox immediately abandoned Li Nianfan and leaped to the table. She sniffed the dumplings with her nose.
Li Nianfan reminded her, “The dumplings are raw. Don’t eat them yet.”
Little Fox nodded, “I know. I’m going to take away the dumplings.”
Kunpeng looked at Little Fox at the side with envy.
‘It’s so nice being the expert’s sister-in-law. Sigh. Why can’t I have an excellent sister, too?
‘But… It’s nice that I’m with Little Fox. I’m considerably lucky.
‘I don’t have a sister, but I have a nice Demon King! It’s nice enough.’
Blackie heard the commotion and ran out from the backyard. He lifted his butt as if it had wings on it. He excitedly said, “Little Fox, hurry up and look at me.”
Little Fox blinked. She innocently asked, “Blackie, why are you standing like that? Did you injure your butt?”
Blackie lifted his butt and said, “No, look again. What’s different on my butt?”
“Yikes—”
Little Fox widened her eyes and gasped.
She was shocked. She asked, “Your butt has fur again? No, wait, that’s not fur, that’s black skin! You… Are you a mutant now?”
“This is a pair of leather shorts! The Master’s hand-made leather shorts!”
Blackie gave up. He tugged on the leather shorts with his paw. “Do you see it? It’s stretchy, too.”
Li Nianfan felt completely embarrassed. He wanted to toss Blackie out. He hurriedly changed the topic and asked, “Little Fox, why are you here?”
Kunpeng glanced at Shi Tuqin and said, “Lord Saint, we came here because we got an invitation. This is related to Lady Shi Tuqin.”
Shi Tuqin was confused. “Related to me?”
Kunpeng continued to say, “This is about the Legendary Beast Sect. They invited us to attend their Young Sect Master Ceremony and hope that we’ll share this news with Lady Shi.”
“Young Sect Master Ceremony? The Legendary Beast Sect wants to hold a Young Sect Master Ceremony?” Shi Tuqin went white in the face. She could not accept it.
She had given up on being the young Sect Master, but the new ceremony was too soon. The Legendary Beast Sect would not do that.
She could not accept it. She also felt like it was illogical.
She bit her lips. “Do you know who the new young Sect Master is?”
Kunpeng replied, “It’s Shi Tuyu.”
“It’s him?!”
Shi Tuqin frowned. She furrowed her brows. “Why him?”
Little Fox asked curiously, “Sister Shi, is something wrong with that person?”
“He’s the son of my second uncle, so he’s my cousin. They never got along with my father, and they always wanted to become the Sect Master of the Legendary Beast Sect.”
Shi Tuqin softly sighed. She said with anger, “I suspect that I was captured by the Ministry because of them.”
She was previously the young Sect Master of the Legendary Beast Sect. Moreover, she was talented. Her Familiar Beast was the Sky Wing White Tiger. Naturally, she was protected by the sect. She should be safe.
However, things went south. She was easily captured by the Ministry.
Li Nianfan asked, “What are you going to do?”
He was not surprised at all. He was used to people fighting for status. The martial arts dramas in his past realm were much more dramatic.
Shi Tuqin looked at Li Nianfan. “Mr. Li, I want to go back. Is… Is that alright?”
Li Nianfan decisively replied, “Of course. Something huge happened in your sect. You should go back to have a look. Moreover, if Shi Tuyu is scheming against you, you should expose him. It’s not a good thing if he becomes the young Sect Master.”
Shi Tuqin exclaimed with gratefulness, “Thanks, Mr. Li!”
Kunpeng instantly said, “I can accompany Lady Shi.”
Blackie glared at Kunpeng and said, “Bring me, too. I have to go.”
Li Nianfan had to ask, “Silly dog, why do you need to go?”
Blackie twerked smugly and said, “I can’t not go out with my new leather shorts. Who will check out my new outfit if I don’t go out?”
Li Nianfan was embarrassed. He waved Blackie off and said, “Fine, hurry up and leave!”
He started to miss the old Blackie that could not talk. Blackie was normal back then. Ever since Blackie started to talk, the dog gradually became more flamboyant.
…
The Area of the Gods was wide with various landmarks. There was a forest in the Southeast region. The hills were steep and the trees were tall. There were a lot of fierce beasts and rare Demons. It was known as the Demon Forest.
The Legendary Beast Sect was built on top of a high mountain in the Demon Forest.
The cultivators were neighbors with the Beasts and Demons. It was beneficial for them to train their disciples and they could tame potential Demons as well.
Countless figures flashed by the Legendary Beast Sect.
It was crowded and bustling.
As a successful sect, the Legendary Beast Sect had a famous reputation. A lot of cultivation sects naturally attended the ceremony. It was the day they announced their new young Sect Master. There were a lot of small sects who came to visit.
A young man stood on an obvious mountain rock, wearing embroidered long-sleeve clothes. He smiled at the incoming guests happily.
“He’s the young Sect Master of the Legendary Beast Sect, Shi Tuyu. He’s indeed handsome and talented. He looks like the chosen one.”
“He volunteered to go through the tests of the Legendary Beast Sect. He deservedly became the young Sect Master with his capabilities!”
“Amazing! Look at the Black Tiger next to him. So cool. Is that the Black-Gold Flying Tiger? To be honest, that tiger can overpower my entire sect.”
“He’s young but he has achievements!”
“I wish my son was like Shi Tuyu.”
A lot of cultivators did not deserve to chat with him. They could only discuss beneath the stage.
Shi Tuyu’s father welcomed the guests nearby as he smiled. He was proud and passionate.
As for the Sect Master of the Legendary Beast Sect, Shi Tumingri, he sat on his designated seat and watched. He watched the happy crowd and sighed.
His daughter was captured. She was not dead yet but he was hugely impacted. Her rightful place as the young Sect Master was taken away by Shi Tuyu. The constant events made Shi Tumingri feel like he was at rock bottom.
The Legendary Beast Sect was a famous sect with its own traditions. He could not stop Shi Tuyu as the Sect Master as Shi Tuyu passed the test on his own. He had no choice but to accept it.
Two old men stood next to him. They did not look happy either.
They were Elder Zhou and Elder Xu, the ones who went to look for Shi Tuqin at Demon City.
“Shi Tuyu and his father are so secretive. I can’t believe Shi Tuyu became a Quasi-Saint overnight. His Familiar Beast has improved blood, too. He was able to pass the test of becoming the young Sect Master.”
“That’s nothing. I can’t believe that the Black Tiger got the approval of the Taishang Elder’s Familiar Beast. That’s weird.”
“Damn, he wouldn’t be the young Sect Master if Qin was here.”
Suddenly, they heard an excited voice.
“The Sect Master of the Empath Sect, Qin Zhongshan has arrived—”
“The Sect Master of the White Cloud Sect, Bai Chen has arrived—”
The crowd instantly went silent. Then, they cheered. They stared at the two incoming figures in awe. They were stunned.
“The Sect Masters of the Empath Sect and the White Cloud Sect are here?”
“Incredible. How amazing is Shi Tuyu? I can’t believe he invited them to attend.”
“The two sects aren’t weaker than the Legendary Beast Sect. I see that they’re impressed by Shi Tuyu’s potential, so they came here to befriend him.”
“Wow. Is this the typical day of a prodigy?”
Shi Tuyu and his father were also awe-struck. Then, they were overjoyed.
Usually, the Young Sect Master Ceremony would be attended by smaller cultivation sects. Some successful sects would send some disciples as a friendly gesture. Almost no Sect Masters would attend ceremonies like that.
However, the Sect Masters of the Empath Sect and the White Cloud Sect had arrived. More importantly, they were not close to the Legendary Beast Sect.
Shi Tuyu felt more proud than ever. He was trembling from excitement.
‘This must be how things work for the lucky one.’
Shi Tumingri and the others had an opposite reaction. Their faces sank and they felt more awful than ever.
They did not expect the Sect Masters of the Empath Sect and the White Cloud Sect to attend Shi Tuyu’s ceremony. Shi Tuyu was so secretive!
Shi Tuyu hurriedly straightened up. He went over to welcome them. He said, “I’m the new young Sect Master of the Legendary Beast Sect, Shi Tuyu. Greetings. Thank you so much for attending the ceremony.”
“Don’t be mistaken. We didn’t come here to congratulate you.”
Qin Zhongshan interrupted him by lifting his hand. He said impolitely, “Did Shi Tuqin agree to let you become the new young Sect Master? I won’t allow it if you took her rightful place!”
Bai Chen nodded and said, “That’s right. I won’t allow it either!”
