I really am a genius!
After arriving behind a tree where no one was paying attention, Qing Feng transformed into his human form and swaggered down the mountain path. It had been so long since he used a human body that his walking was a bit awkward, even crossing his feet.
Leaving the Beast Taming Sect, finding some remote, impoverished place to live a lazy life of inconspicuous development—it's simply perfect!
"Chu Feng! You're alive! You really scared me to death."
The sudden voice startled Qing Feng. He turned his head and saw a man not far away, looking at him with a face full of pleasant surprise.
The other party was wearing the uniform of a registered Disciple and had a very ordinary appearance. Before Chu Feng could react, the man suddenly ran over and hugged Qing Feng.
My F-word?
"Brother, you've got the wrong person. My name is Qing Feng, not Chu Feng."
Qing Feng pushed the other person away, shaking his head frantically, indicating that the other person had mistaken him for someone else and that he was not Chu Feng.
However, the man became even more excited upon hearing this, grabbing Qing Feng's shoulders and shouting loudly:
"That's right, your dharma name is Qing Feng! Half a month ago, when you fell off the cliff and I couldn't find your body, I knew you weren't dead! Good! This is truly wonderful!"
The more the man spoke, the more excited he became. His only close friend was not dead; this was an incredibly good thing for him.
How long is the path of cultivation? What meaning is there in walking it alone without a close friend by your side?
"Holy crap, why is it such a coincidence? Heavens, no, System! Are you messing with me?!"
"【This System has never done such a thing. Please do not slander it.】"
The System's prompt made Qing Feng inwardly curse its ancestors for eighteen generations.
He couldn't acknowledge this human identity; this must be an obstacle the System created to prevent him from being lazy and slacking off.
"Brother, you've really got the wrong person. I'm truly not your friend."
"I understand, brother. You must have lost your memory when you fell off the cliff and forgotten everything. Don't worry, I won't abandon you. After all, we're brothers, and your fall was due to my negligence."
After the man finished speaking, he forcefully pulled Qing Feng and began to chatter incessantly. Qing Feng didn't want to listen and wanted to leave, but suddenly, he thought of something.
The outside world was extremely dangerous, and his cultivation was too low, making him susceptible to death.
The Beast Taming Sect was powerful. If he became a registered Disciple and found a corner of the Sect to just loaf around, lie down, and sleep...
Wouldn't that be a perfect sanctuary?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Qing Feng looked at the young man named Gu Luoyun in front of him, his tone grave.
"Good brother! For life! I now believe I am Chu Feng. Quickly, take me to my residence."
"Alright!"
Gu Luoyun nodded quickly and then led Qing Feng in a certain direction.
....
Inside Outer Disciple Qingxi's cave abode.
Qingxi looked at the empty cave abode, her mind a blank.
Where was Qing Feng?
Where was her big brother?
"Given Qing Feng's lazy bird personality, he'd find it tiring just to roll over. How could he possibly go out? Could it be..."
Qingxi frowned, beginning to ponder if she had offended anyone recently.
After much thought, although she was sharp and prominent, she hadn't specifically targeted anyone. Logically, no one should be attacking her.
Could someone harbor resentment towards her?
Qingxi considered ten thousand possibilities, but never once did she think that Qing Feng would choose to go out on his own.
There was no other way. Years of established bird-like behavior had become deeply ingrained, making it impossible for Qingxi to believe that her older brother would leave the nest.
....
The secluded wooden house was located within a bamboo forest. Chu Feng's wooden house was less than five hundred meters away from Gu Luoyun's.
And the area where this wooden house was located had very few residents due to the extremely sparse spiritual energy. Qing Feng sat in the dilapidated wooden house, liking it more and more, and becoming more and more satisfied the longer he looked at it.
Such a wonderful nest truly made him feel content!
Gu Luoyun had a task and had already left. Miscellaneous Disciples could obtain cultivation resources by doing chores. Once they became Spirit Masters, they could go to the Deacon Hall to become official Outer Disciples.
Currently, Gu Luoyun was at the ninth layer of spiritual energy cultivation, just a step away from becoming a Spirit Master, so he had been working very diligently recently.
Qing Feng, however, had no desire to become an Outer Disciple; he only wanted to lie flat.
Life, oh life~
One must learn to slack off and enjoy~
Qing Feng hummed a tune while drawing water from the well. He thought his wonderful slacking life was about to begin, but who knew that at that very moment, a voice suddenly came from the well.
"I never expected that a small Beast Taming Sect would have a descendant of mine."
Hearing this, Qing Feng was so startled that he quickly looked around but found no one present.
"Huh? Did I imagine that? Scaring myself~"
Qing Feng grabbed the rope and continued to draw water, simply assuming he had hallucinated earlier.
However, the next moment!
Bang!
Water splashed into the sky, and at the same time, a chain formed by demonic energy suddenly extended from the well, firmly wrapping around Qing Feng.
The next moment, a sensation of weightlessness spread throughout his body, and Qing Feng fell into the water.
Splash!
The icy cold well water sent a shiver down Qing Feng's spine. In just a few breaths, he, who had been standing in the courtyard, appeared in a massive cave pool.
In the spacious cave, a huge demonic beast lay, unable to move, entangled by black chains.
This demonic beast exuded a powerful aura, and its cultivation should be at the Spirit Saint realm.
【Demon Saint: Devouring Heaven Python】
The Devouring Heaven Python is a demonic beast with a faint trace of gluttonous bloodline. Qing Feng possesses a pure gluttonous bloodline, which caused the Devouring Heaven Python to misjudge, believing that the subtle connection between their bloodlines was because they were of the same species.
.....
Above the Beast Taming Sect, a dark shadow streaked by. As soon as the figure flashed past, a graceful silhouette followed closely behind.
"Girl Zi, don't think I don't know, your Sect Leader is currently in secluded death cultivation. The entire Sect has no cultivators at the Spirit Venerable level.
You and I are both Spirit Emperors, so I'm not afraid of you. If you keep pursuing me relentlessly, don't blame me for being impolite. This Deputy Head's Yin Luo Sail has devoured quite a few Spirit Emperor cultivators' vital spirits."
The Black-robed Old Man's lips curved into a sinister smile. The female cultivator behind him said nothing but continued to follow closely, constantly releasing magical attacks.
This Yin Luo Old Devil stole their Beast Taming Sect's secret treasure. If she were let go, how could they face the Sect's full cultivation and support?
"You're asking for death!"
The Yin Luo Old Devil no longer held back, turning to fight the female cultivator.
....
Bamboo forest wooden house.
Qing Feng climbed out of the well, his face full of disappointment. The underground Cave where the old python was sealed was a good place to settle down, but unfortunately, the sealing power inside was too strong. If he stayed there for too long, he would feel uncomfortable all over, and prolonged living there would surely lead to death.
"I'd better just stay in my wooden house honestly. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own doghouse."
Qing Feng looked at his wooden house in front of him, feeling exceptionally close to it. However, who knew that the next moment, with a loud bang, his wooden house collapsed into ruins.
"No!!!"
Qing Feng knelt on the ground, letting out a mournful wail. All he wanted was to find a quiet place to sleep! Why was it so difficult?!
