Who Let Him Cultivate?!

An ancient rhyme echoed in the dense forest. It was soft and pleasing to the ear, light-hearted, suggesting the owner of the singing voice was a lively girl.

However, if anyone were to see the actual person behind the singing voice, they would be quite startled.

The singer was a bald man with dignified features, cloaked in clothes made of leaves. It was hard to imagine such a person singing a nursery rhyme.

Fairy Eternity crouched by the lake, assessing her physical appearance, her eyes turning subtly.

“Although Lu Yang looks rather nice, he is a man after all. Since Lu Yang is not here, why don’t I change to my original form?”

Thinking of it, Fairy Eternity did it. It was not easy to come out and play and there was no one around to restrict her. She could do as she pleased.

Her hands joined together, held vertically at her lips, lightly uttering a phrase. It resonated with the surrounding area, causing the space around her to blur and distort.

When the space returned to normal, the person crouching by the lake was no longer the bald-headed Lu Yang, rather, a 16-17-year-old young woman.

The young woman was innocent and exuberant. Her big eyes sparkled, her long hair fell to her waist, wearing a beige dress. Barefooted, she seemed like the young lady of a wealthy household, who had sneakily run away without dressing properly.

“Hehe, I am really adorable.” Fairy Eternity looked at her reflection in the lake, amused by her transformation back to her original form.

She sat by the lake, her bare feet kicking in the water, creating ripples.

Small fish were attracted by the ripples on the lake’s surface, thinking food had appeared. When they swam closer, they found it was a human playing in the water and swam away disappointed.

Although Fairy Eternity could materialize anything in Lu Yang’s spiritual space, it was, after all, a mind-made construct that lacked real sensations. Now, even splashing water felt more enjoyable.

The lake water was cold; having her bare feet soaked in was so refreshing that it made her grin with delight.

She picked up a twig from the lakeside, using her fairy magic power as a fishing line, winding it around the twig to make a basic fishing rod.

“Ahem.”

She didn’t even bother baiting, she directly cast her line, a complete image of doing as she pleased.

The fairy power making up the fishing line was just a thin thread. Still, it was the power unique to immortals. The line itself was the best bait, not needing any others.

With a sly smile on her face, Fairy Eternity laid down by the lake. Someone knew she had activated a spell to keep her pristine. Despite the mud by the lake, not a single speck of dirt touched her.

If Lu Yang was here, he would have recognized that it was the Cleaning Clothes Spell he aspired for; except, Fairy Eternity’s version was more refined and distinguished, in another level. Drawing on this spell exercised almost no energy expenditure.

Before long, a big fish was hooked, tightly biting on to the fishing line.

The big fish wanted to refine the fairy power on the line, but the gap in power was too great; it was unable to do so.

“Got a bite?”

Fairy Eternity sprang up with excitement in her eyes. With a strong flick of her right hand, a fat-headed fish popped out of the water.

“Oh dear, it’s a fat-headed fish. It’s neither pretty nor tasty and has no nutritional value.” Fairy Eternity shook her head in disappointment, patted the fish’s face, signaling it to let go, and threw it back into the lake.

“Reborn into a tasty animal in your next life.” Fairy Eternity reminded the fat-headed fish. Having been spared once, the fish needed to show some gratitude.

The fish wasn’t able to comprehend what she was saying.

After the fat-headed fish left, various aquatic creatures bit the bait — fish, shrimp, crabs, shells, along with many other creatures who only existed after ancient times unbeknownst to Fairy Eternity.

Not recognizing some wasn’t an issue, with her rich experiences and culinary skills, she could tell what was edible and what wasn’t with one try.

Soon, a pile of aquatic creatures accumulated beside the fairy. She was worried that they might escape, so she mixed lake water with mud to make a clay fence around them.

Suddenly, a dark shadow burst from the lake’s surface, covered in spikes; it was like a porcupine, although its spines were much shorter.

This lake was many times larger than the one controlled by Old Turtle, and correspondingly, the one who could control this lake had to possess extraordinary power.

The shadow was the master of the lake, with the cultivation level at the late stage of the Golden Core. It had swallowed countless Humans and members of the Demon Race when they drank from the lake.

When it saw Fairy Eternity, it was overwhelmed by hunger. Even though she seemed to be a just a little girl at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, for some reason, it believed that by eating her, it could immediately break its core to reach Nascent, becoming a Demon Beast in the Nascent Soul Stage.

By that time, it would be able to expand its territory further and become stronger.

Lu Yang was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and the Clone of the Bodhi Tree could inherit 80% of his strength. In other words, Fairy Eternity’s current Realm was also at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Fairy Eternity blinked, and was swallowed by the lake’s master.

The master of the lake was not worried that Fairy Eternity would attack it from inside. It possessed a strong corrosive liquid. Anyone swallowed by it would have the power of their attacks eroded by this liquid, posing no threat to it.

“Diving Spell… Never mind, Little Fennel Fist.”

Her soft fists hit the stomach wall, making the master of the lake feel like there was a storm raging within it, or even worse. It felt like a tremendous force was stirring its body.

“Wait, let me…”

Before the lake master could finish begging, the force from the Little Fennel Fist tore the lake master into several pieces.

Fairy Eternity held a piece of the lake master’s flesh and swam back to the surface of the lake.

Initially, she planned to use the Diving Spell to deal with the lake master. However, she thought that the lake master was a creature she had never seen before and she didn’t know how it tasted. If she used the Diving Spell to dry out the lake master, how could she eat it?

So, she changed her mind at the last minute and used the Little Fennel Fist.

The Little Fennel Fist, which regulated Qi and stomach, could nourish the opponent’s body when hitting it. However, if the opponent’s body was healthy, this Little Fennel Fist would turn into a death curse.

“I’m all wet, so uncomfortable. Diving Spell.”

As the words “Diving Spell” fell, the water on and around her quickly receded, and an invisible force lifted her up.

She stood on the lake’s surface, her hands behind her back, holding a piece of the lake master’s flesh. Humming a tune, she went back to the shore with ease and satisfaction.

“I wonder what the lake master tastes like.”

The intuition of the Immortal Cook told her that the taste of the lake master should be good.

“I don’t have a pan.”

Fairy Eternity scratched her head, there was not even any decent cookware nearby.

But then she saw the lotus leaves on the lake surface and her eyes lit up, “I’ve got it! I can wrap it in lotus leaves, cover it in mud on the outside, roast it over a fire, and then it’s ready to eat!”

She didn’t bring any seasoning, so she improvised, using plants that looked like seasonings round lake as real seasonings.

“Eternity Truefire.” She spit out a flame, which was unknown to the world and existed independently of the one hundred and eight kinds of True Fire.

The Eternity Truefire was gentle, baking the food. The food was heated from the inside out and quickly exuded a fresh aroma.

Just as Fairy Eternity was about to start eating, a gentle voice sounded behind her.

“Little girl, why are you here all by yourself? This place is dangerous.”

Fairy Eternity turned her head, her face filled with confusion and innocence, with a few mud spots on her cheeks from making the Beggar’s Fish.

There were four people standing behind her, all at the Golden Core Stage of cultivation. It could be a figment of her imagination, but Fairy Eternity felt they grinned maliciously before their smiles turned into friendly ones.

“Little girl, where are your family members?”
