Li Nianfan’s agile fingers moved as rapidly as the fluttering wings of b.u.t.terflies, inciting one’s viewing pleasure. Soon, the flat paper was folded into a three-dimensional object. It had an arrogant head, wide wings, and a tail that pointed upward. It was a paper crane!

“According to the legend, making a wish when you see a shooting star ensures that the wish will come true. The paper crane symbolizes blessings, so this would work!” Li Nianfan smiled and picked up the paper crane. He faced it to the meteor shower. Instantly, the meteor shower became his backdrop, as if a thousand paper cranes were dancing beautifully in the night sky.

What a stunning sight!

Unfortunately, he did not have a camera with him. This would have been an ideal sight to capture.

“Mr. Li, what’s this?” Qin Manyun asked as she looked at the paper crane with curiosity.

To her, the making of this paper crane looked simple. The only material used was a piece of paper and Li Nianfan merely folded it a few times to make this paper crane. It did not look particularly beautiful and the process of making and the paper crane looked ordinary.

Perhaps it was in her head, but when she looked at it closer, she seemed to notice a soft glow surrounding the paper crane. It seemed to be breathing!

Indeed, it was breathing!

The paper crane was…alive?

Qin Manyun’s heart skipped a beat.

“It’s just a small trick from back home.” Li Nianfan saw that Qin Manyun was staring at the paper crane intensely. He smiled and said, “You like it? You may have it.”

“Really?” Qin Manyun’s eyes sparkled with delight.

The ‘home’ Li Nianfan mentioned must have been the Immortal Land. So, this paper crane would be an Immortal Item?

Qin Manyun’s heart pumped rapidly.

Li Nianfan held the paper crane by its head and handed it to Qin Manyun. “It’s just a small trick, it’s nothing.”

Qin Manyun accepted the paper crane with both hands as she cautiously brought it closer to her, her unblinking eyes still transfixed on it.

The moment the paper crane touched her palm, she had gooseb.u.mps all over her body and her scalp started itching. This was because the moment she touched it, she clearly felt the wing of the paper crane move slightly.

A treasure!

She earned a treasure!

After all, this was handmade by the expert!

Although she did not know what use it had, she knew it was definitely something!

It seemed that she had pleased the expert well. He must have liked her performance so he decided to give her a treasure!

Qin Manyun blushed. She wanted to scream out loud in excitement but she knew she had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

Looking at how cautiously she treated the paper crane, Li Nianfan was amused. As expected, all women had no resistance to paper cranes. They always felt protective by instinct.

The Holy Emperor stared at the paper crane so intensely that he might as well have glued his eyeb.a.l.l.s on it. This was equivalent to letting a huge opportunity slip away from him. The pain he felt was beyond words.

Qin Manyun was still carrying the paper crane as she said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan smiled. “As long as you like it. It’s getting late, I’m going to sleep.”

With that, he yawned and went back into his room.

Once he was out of sight, the rest finally recovered from the shock and felt more relaxed. Facing this kind of bigshot made one super nervous. Every word he said had to be a.n.a.lyzed deeply as they were terrified of making any mistake that could upset the bigshot.

Most importantly, the bigshot had a fetish that they had to constantly remind themselves of—to treat him like an ordinary man. This was super stressful!

However…if the bigshot did not have the fetish of pretending to be an ordinary man, they would not even have the chance to please him and receive great opportunities in return. As expected, his every move had deeper intentions.

How fascinating!

It seemed that they should forget about cultivating for some time and refine their acting skills and psychological endurance instead.

Qin Manyun looked at Daji and asked with respect, “May I ask if Miss Daji knows the use of this paper crane?”

“I don’t.” Daji shook her head and continued, “But everything master does, however nonchalant it may seem, always contain deeper meanings. Since he gave it to you, just keep it.”

“I will.” Qin Manyun cautiously kept the paper crane and murmured in a soft voice, “Miss Daji’s so fortunate to get the chance to be around Mr. Li.”

The Holy Emperor and the rest nodded in agreement. They were already jumping with joy when they got to eat a pear from him. Daji could accompany him and stay by his side. Even the air she breathed had opportunities! How luxurious!

“Being able to stay by my master’s side is indeed my blessing.” Daji smiled happily. After a moment of thought, she said, “My main goal of staying with my master is to help him ease his troubles. I did find some things which I can share with you all.”

Qin Manyun and the rest were delighted. They said hurriedly, “Please, tell us.”

Daji said, “As you know, I was a nine-tailed fox. I have the blood of an ancient sky fox in my veins. Other than myself, the master has a dragon and a basalt. They both have ancient sky blood as well.”

Dragon?

Basalt?

Other than Qin Manyun, the rest turned pale as cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. This was terrifying to know!

Mr. Li had a dragon and basalt by his side? Why did they not know about it?

These were legendary beasts. One was unlikely to come across these creatures in this realm!

“I had the privilege to see Mr. Li’s dragon. It’s a golden dragon!” Qin Manyun nodded with a sparkle of awe in her eyes as she recalled the sight from the other day—the terrifying sight of all the beasts coming alive in his house.

The Holy Emperor repressed his terror and asked, “What Miss Daji is suggesting is that the expert might be collecting ancient beasts?”

Daji said, “This is just my speculation. If you have the chance, please, do help me look around.”

Qin Manyun and the rest felt a little more rea.s.sured as if they had finally found a mission. “Thank you so much for your reminder.”

Daji nodded. Just as she was about to go back to her room, Qin Manyun bit her tongue and asked, “Miss Daji, I… May I ask what realm you’re at right now?”

“Realm?” Daji stopped in her footsteps. “As a nine-tailed fox, we’re able to unleash all our Immortal talents once we get our nine tails. By following master around, my talents have been developing rapidly. As of my realm… I should’ve surpa.s.sed all of the cultivating realms by now. However, I’m not sure what realm I’m currently at in terms of the Immortals.”

She looked up at her surroundings and gracefully raised her elegant finger to point at the Fiery Nebula flying by. Instantly the Fiery Nebula froze, one after another. The Fiery Nebula had turned into a Frozen Nebula!
