Chapter 961: Chapter 0961 Xu Wei’s Special Ability

In the kitchen, white steam billowed from the large pot on the stove.

Wang Xiaoya had steamed a pot of buns, thoroughly dumbfounding Liuu Ruyan.

Liuu Ruyan, though not spoiled at home since childhood, found steaming buns to be an essential skill for anyone from Guanzhong.

Ordinarily, steaming buns involved using baking powder for fermentation.

When kneading the dough, baking powder had to be added, and one would wait for the dough to ferment before steaming the buns.

Otherwise, the buns would turn out dense and unfermented.

However, when Wang Xiaoya steamed them, she kneaded the dough without waiting, and it fermented perfectly on its own.

The pot of buns turned out white and round, eliciting continuous praise from Liuu Ruyan.

Smelling the fragrant dough, Long Fei approached with a mischievous grin, "Wow, not bad at all!"

Wang Xiaoya replied proudly, "Of course, I’m an expert at steaming buns."

Long Fei teased, "Yeah, about the same size as you."

"Scram!"

Wang Xiaoya laughed and kicked him out.

Seeing him grin mischievously, she knew he was up to no good.

Wang Xiaoya took some beef from her Storage Ring to make a cold beef dish for everyone, then stir-fried a few meat dishes.

A group of men drooled as they ate, exclaiming how satisfying it was.

Long Fei said to Liuu Ruyan, "Ruyan, we’re heading up the mountains after eating, you stay home and take care of Uncle Liuu. I’ll leave some talismans with you, if you encounter any trouble, just throw them out."

This place was filled with mixed characters, and Long Fei worried that some thugs might come looking for trouble.

Though Liuu Ruyan could fight like the martial arts experts in the novels, having opened her Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the key was she couldn’t manipulate Qi.

She looked at Long Fei, feeling a bit empty inside, "Then you guys be careful."

Always having Long Fei by her side, she felt as if she was losing her support now that he was going away.

Xu Wei was also leaving with them this time, as he was familiar with the terrain here.

Though Long Fei had figured out the orientation on the map, he was still unfamiliar with the area.

Moreover, there was something he needed to verify with Xu Wei.

Er Gouzi, heartily devouring beef, assured Long Fei with a slap on his chest, "Brother Long, I, Er Gouzi, give my word here. As long as Ruyan is in our village, I swear on my life to keep her safe. If anyone dares to bully her here, I’ll grab a hoe and fight them to death."

Long Fei smiled and nodded, thinking that if town thugs came by, Er Gouzi would probably wet himself.

He had long seen through this boy; good at talking and slick at handling matters.

But when it came to risking his life, he didn’t have the guts.

After eating, Long Fei locked himself in a room to refine talismans.

Without tapping into his sealed Nascent Soul, the spiritual power in his Divine Sea was sufficient for the talismans.

This amount of spiritual power was more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

Once everything was arranged, Long Fei left with Wang Xiaoya and Xu Wei.

The trip to the ancient tomb was purely a gamble.

First, to check out the situation inside, and second, for Wang Xiaoya’s mother.

If luck wasn’t on their side, they’d have to take a trip to Mount Li.

The three of them entered the mountains; Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya moved effortlessly without touching the ground.

Xu Wei, relying solely on his physical strength, kept up with them.

While hiking, Long Fei chatted with him, "Xu Wei, do you get tired climbing mountains normally?"

Xu Wei boasted with a laugh, "Not to brag, but mountain climbing is something I’ve never lost at. I don’t know why, but it’s like I was born for the mountains. At nine years old, when adults dared not enter the deep mountains, I would go alone."

He looked around and said secretively, "Brother Long, Little Ya, I’ll tell you a secret. At night, I don’t need a flashlight to see; just a bit of starlight is enough. Even without light, my nose can smell the location of wild animals."

Wang Xiaoya glanced at Long Fei.

Long Fei laughed and said, "In the mountains, we will have to rely on Brother Xu Wei."

Xu Wei asked worriedly, "You wouldn’t consider me a monster, would you?"

Long Fei laughed, "How could we? Don’t forget, we are cultivators, we’ve seen all sorts of strange things. Your situation is actually very common."

Xu Wei was relieved, "That’s good to hear. I was only afraid that you would see me as a monster. I’ve always been afraid to talk about this with the villagers."

Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya smiled and asked him, "Besides this, do you have any other unusual traits?"

Xu Wei hesitated and said, "Well, I won’t hide it from you – when I’m in water, I can dive and stay as long as I want, just like a fish. I don’t know if that counts?"

"An aquatic ability?"

Long Fei raised an eyebrow.

The abilities of demonizers are diverse. Without someone to guide them, most only discover their abilities by accident.

Though Xu Wei had discovered his, he seemed a bit apprehensive about his abilities, worried that others might see him as a monster.

People with agile minds, like Liu Mang, had already started using their abilities to make their way in the city.

The three moved quickly and soon crossed two mountains before finally arriving at the legendary ancient tomb.

The site was surrounded by streams branching from the Jing River, hidden among towering mountains.

The mountain’s shape surprised Long Fei; it didn’t have the traditional domineering feng shui.

Instead, it resembled a turtle retracting its head into its shell, known in feng shui as the most taboo "Black Tortoise Concealing Its Head."

It was difficult to believe that Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s feng shui masters, also secretly members of the Yin Yang Sect, would choose such a location for his tomb,

unless there was one possibility, "A ground for preserving corpses!"

Wang Xiaoya, looking ahead with curiosity, asked Long Fei, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing!"

Long Fei shook his head with a smile and led her and Xu Wei down.

At the base of the mountain, they needed to cross a river to reach the other side.

The river was raging, swollen from the heavy rains upstream.

Long Fei asked Xu Wei, "Need any help?"

Xu Wei laughed heartily, "No worries, didn’t you just say I am unbothered by water?"

He took off his T-shirt and leaped into the water, arrogantly splashing his way across.

Wang Xiaoya and Long Fei watched in awe, beginning to change their perspective on demonizers.

Whether human, demon, or those called members of the Demon Race, all have their good and bad.

Take Xu Wei; even as a demonizer, he wouldn’t do anything detrimental to the Human Race.

After crossing, he waved enthusiastically from the other side, "Brother Long, come on over!"

Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya smiled, holding hands as they stepped on the river to cross.

Actually, the river was narrow enough for Long Fei to step across in one go.

But to avoid frightening Xu Wei, they played it cautious.

Even so, Xu Wei’s eyes widened, astonished as if he had seen an Immortal.

It was surprising that someone could actually walk on water, truly astonishing.

Once they crossed, he curiously asked, "Brother Long, is this some kind of Daoist magic? Or the legendary lightness skill of walking on water?"

"Consider it Daoist magic,"

Long Fei laughed, looking at him, "Actually, you could do it too; you just need the right method."

Xu Wei scratched his head, embarrassed, "Brother Long, you really made my day. I can tell, you all are Immortals; how could I compare to you?"

Since the day Long Fei had cured Liuu Wenhan’s illness, Xu Wei had been deeply impressed, treating Long Fei as an Immortal.

Long Fei watched him, contemplating whether to teach him a few tricks.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the distance, startling the three of them. They immediately looked toward the direction of the sound.
