Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

Dusk had fallen.

In the small mountain village.

The night was bustling to the utmost, with every household, men, women, and children, all gathering on the open ground in the village.

The children were playing loudly, the men were sharpening their knives in preparation, beginning to slaughter the giant mudfish, the women were picking vegetables and peeling onions, the bonfire had already been lit, and the water in the big iron pot was boiling.

"So many giant mudfish, enough to eat for three months."

Elder Zhao, leaning on his walking stick, looked at everyone bustling about, his old eyes filled with contentment.

After all, the village life was hard, and everyone was a farmer who only got to eat meat during holidays and festivals.

It was only in the past two years that it felt as though someone was delivering goods, with a large amount of wild game arriving from time to time, allowing everyone to feast to their hearts’ content.

Li Fan was also rolling up his sleeves and getting to work, he was currently stir-frying the mudfish meat.

"Master, is mudfish tasty?"

Zi Ling asked with wide eyes, watching her master stir-frying with some curiosity.

"You’ll know once you try it."

Li Fan said with a slight smile.

"But Great Demon King, won’t it taste fishy?"

Yun Xi also spoke up, the mudfish did have a strong earthy, fishy smell.

However, Li Fan laughed and said, "Don’t worry, just eat it, there will be absolutely no fishy taste." @@novelbin@@

He was quite confident in his cooking skills.

The various cooking methods taught by the System had long been mastered by him, and removing fishiness was just a trivial skill.

"Gong Ya, come here, grab this mudfish. I’ll teach you how to prepare it."

Li Fan spoke to Gong Ya, as the books he had provided her with so far hadn’t covered how to handle mudfish, so he had to teach her himself.

"Hold it tight, move it up and down, back and forth, to make the mudfish spit out everything in its stomach. That way, it won’t taste fishy when we eat it later."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ya looked thoughtful and a bit nervous as she began to follow his instructions.

Li Fan nodded as he continued to cook.

"This mudfish is big enough, its whiskers are almost as long as those of a squid... Hmm, I can treat them as squid tentacles."

Thinking to himself, Li Fan immediately chopped off strands of the Jiaolong whiskers, and with chilies and other ingredients, he started to stir-fry them.

The aroma was immediately enticing.

"So fragrant, Great Demon King, I want to eat this!"

Yun Xi’s eyes sparkled.

"Master, I want some too!"

Zi Ling also spoke up eagerly.

Li Fan, smiling, passed the stir-fried dragon whiskers to them.

Immediately, they began to eat eagerly, wolfing down the food with great relish.

"It’s so delicious, Master, I want to eat more of the stir-fried mudfish whiskers!"

"Great Demon King, it’s really not fishy at all, I want more too!"

"Master, I want to liberate some of the stir-fried mudfish!"

A group of disciples clamored.

"It’s time to eat, it’s time to eat, let’s start the feast!"

Just then, Uncle Zhang called out loudly.

Instantly, people of all ages were seated around tables.

Barbecue, stew, steamed dishes, braised dishes... all kinds of Jiaolong dishes were served, creating an incredibly lively scene.

And at this moment.

Outside the little mountain village, Yun Yinchen, Yun Qianshan, Mu Wanqing, Mu Rantian, and others had finally arrived.

There was a slight seriousness on their faces.

"Huh? What’s this noise in the village... It seems very lively?"

Mu Wanqing was somewhat perplexed.

They entered the village, and before long, they witnessed an extremely lively scene!

The village was as festive as if hosting a banquet, with tables filled with people, laughter, and cheerful voices.

In the pots, on the grills, on the chopping boards... there was nothing but meat!

"This... What’s going on?"

Mu Wanqing couldn’t help but freeze in amazement.

"No... That meat, it feels like... it’s from extremely powerful members of the Demon Clan?"

Yun Yinchen’s face changed as he spoke, and suddenly, he noticed in the trash pile, there were quite a few light gold dragon scales...

"Jiaolong Reverse Scales?!"

He was shocked and exclaimed,

"The Jiaolong Demon Race, one of the great clans of the Demon Realm?!"

"The village... has been hunting the Jiaolong Demon Race as game?!"

He was simply astounded.

Looking around... the meat was piled up into mounds.

How many Jiaolong had been killed?

Moreover, some of the meat had an incredibly powerful aura, seemingly surpassing the level of a Heavenly Demon...

At that moment, he felt numb.

The Demon Lord was an existence on par with the Godmaster, commanding respect by name in the Demon Realm.

Now, they had ended up... on the table.

And Jiaolong Reverse Scales of the Demon Lord Level, even in the Divine Realm, were considered extremely precious materials.

To treat them like trash and discard them?

Upon hearing this, Yun Qianshan and the others were also shocked beyond measure.

"Isn’t that little Wanqing?"

At that moment, Elder Zhao spoke, smiling as he walked over.

"Elder Zhao,"

Mu Wanqing spoke, "We... We’re here to find Senior Li."

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhao said,

"Senior Li? Oh... You mean Little Li."

"You young people, why do you all like to call him Senior Li? There were two girls before, named Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, who also liked to call him that. They haven’t come to the village for a meal in a long time... Come on, I’ll take you to see Little Li."

Elder Zhao immediately took them over and said,

"Little Li, these people are looking for you."

Li Fan was tossing the last pot of explosive stir-fried dragon whiskers when he looked up and saw Yun Yinchen, Mu Wanqing, and the others, and he was overjoyed.

"Senior Yun, Miss Mu, you’ve come at just the right time; the village has caught some loaches. Sit down and let’s eat together,"

he immediately said.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yinchen and the others all had complex expressions on their faces. Loaches?!

Do you call Jiaolong loaches?

Yun Yinchen felt utterly stifled; the mighty demon race of the Jiaolong...

However, considering that Senior Li was an existence capable of repressing the Calamity Grey Mist, in his eyes, Jiaolong might as well be loaches... It didn’t seem wrong.

"Grandfather, Father... You should sit quickly; Li Fan cooks so deliciously... wu..."

At this moment, Yun Xi eagerly called out while enjoying the dragon whiskers skewers.

Yun Qianshan and the others exchanged a look, and at that moment, they all understood.

Senior Li didn’t care at all about the Blood Demons from beyond their realm!

After all, even the Demon Lord level predecessors of the Jiaolong Demon Race were treated like loaches by Senior Li; it was clear that he didn’t regard the Demon Clan in his eyes.

"No matter, since we’ve come, let’s just enjoy the meal with peace of mind!"

Yun Yinchen simply let go!

A group of people immediately sat down as well, and upon seeing the variously cooked Jiaolong meat on the table, they instantly grew greedy.

This was a delicacy, rare in the world!

"The braised loach, melting in the mouth, so tasty, so good!"

Even Elder Zhao began to eat, the meat was stewed so tender that even the elderly like them could enjoy it.

"Tsk, this soup is truly fresh; these kind of loaches are pretty good!"

"Mom, I want to eat the tail, let me gnaw on the tail!"

"The explosive stir-fried dragon whiskers, Little Li, this dish is excellent!"

Everyone started to really dig in.

Elsewhere, even Ming Tianbei and the others had been called over. They sat together, devouring meat and gulping down soup.

Very quickly.

The night enclosed around them, with bonfires scattered throughout the village, where men, women, old, and young gathered together, chatting about family life, drinking and talking, all harmoniously attuned.

"Great Demon King, I want to drink..."

Sitting around the bonfire, with golden loach meat roasting over the fire, Yun Xi spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan smiled and said,

"Okay."

"Lu Rang, Da De, go and dig up some of the three-year stash of wine I buried."

Li Fan directly commanded.

Ever since coming to the Yang Realm, this was the first time the village had a banquet; it was time to celebrate and drink some fine wine.

The disciples were all thrilled to hear this!

They all knew that their master’s wine... was all treasures.

Soon, Lu Rang and Wu Dade had brought back over a dozen jars of wine.

"Little Li’s three-year stash of wine? This stuff is really something!"

Elder Zhao immediately craved the wine.

The disciples were filled with anticipation.

"Divide it amongst everyone,"

Li Fan said with a smile.

Straightaway, the disciples came forward, starting to pour wine for everyone.

As soon as they opened the wine seal, the fragrance of the wine already spread far and wide.

"What is this aroma? Suddenly, the divine aura around us... seems to have intensified a hundredfold?!"

"What kind of divine wine is this... I’ve never seen such in the world!"

Yun Yinchen and others were shocked with their expressions.

"Wow, this wine fragrance... Just smelling it almost takes one into a state of forgetfulness..."

Nan Feng’s eyes lit up!

"Even richer than the two-year aroma... it must taste amazing!"

Zi Ling couldn’t wait.

Soon, everyone had their wine and began to taste it.

Nan Feng picked up the drink and took a light sip.

The cool wine felt incredibly refreshing upon entering the mouth but turned fiery hot as it went down the throat, transforming into a mist akin to that of the celestials upon blending into the body, moistening every part, as if every cell was bursting with life!

"The wine’s fragrance is intense yet crisp, like a clear stream in the dusty world... Forget the dust, forget the dust, let’s be drunk in its embrace..."

Nan Feng had only had half a bowl but already felt mellow, and in that moment, she forgot herself in drunkenness, entering a wondrous state.

Her eyes were somewhat blurry, and at that moment, she seemed to see a little girl, falling from her mother’s womb with a cry, and then babbling and learning to walk... Growing up carefree, yet eventually forgetting the initial happiness amidst the earthly woes.

When had she looked up to longevity, cultivated to become a saint, stepped onto the divine path... It seemed calm in her heart, but there was ambition, desire, longing!

"Who can truly understand their own heart... I thought that by cultivating my spirit with the guqin, I had already let go of worldly thoughts, but it turns out I was still not liberated, even straying from my true self..."

"The true self is like a baby, an innocent child, with no desires or wants, pure and carefree... This is the true self!"

At that moment, all the divine essence within her suddenly transformed into a little girl, seated in the lotus position inside her dantian.

That was her... True Spirit!

At this moment, she quietly crossed a threshold, becoming... a True God!

The aura of a True God level burst forth, and instantly, the surrounding people were all astounded!
