The Legend of Futian - Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Life Is So Wonderful

Ye Futian followed Yi Xiaoshi and left. While walking, Ye Futian asked, “Third brother and second sister?”

Yi Xiaoshi patted on Ye Futian’s shoulder and said, “In the Cottage, the master does not manage anything. The second sister manages internal affairs, while the third brother manages external affairs. Do you understand?”

“I got it.” Ye Futian nodded. Couple working together? The scene just now was indeed very strange.

“What’s with the master getting lost?” Ye Futian said speechlessly.

“A long story,” Yi Xiaoshi said. “The third brother brought the master out on a journey. On the way, the third brother saw an unjust act and showed up to save a beauty. The beauty was saved and followed him to the Book Mountain, but the master went missing. Thereafter, the third brother started to have a miserable time. Do you understand?”

Ye Futian thought about the second sister and then nodded. Of course he understood.

“The master followed the third brother on a journey?” Ye Futian was puzzled.

“In the future when you see the master, you will get it. He’s too lazy.” Yi Xiaoshi shook his head resignedly. How lazy is the master exactly? Ye Futian thought.

“How about the beauty that he saved?” Ye Futian asked.

“The Third brother chased her away,” Yi Xiaoshi said. Ye Futian was totally speechless.

“The master is missing, so who will teach me cultivation?” Ye Futian was somewhat depressed.

“Teach you cultivation?” Yi Xiaoshi’s expression was rather weird.

“Yes.” Ye Futian nodded in a serious manner.

“I used to be so naive as well.” Yi Xiaoshi gave a long sigh. “Later, the master said that all the people who come to the Cottage to cultivate have the best talents. Why do we need someone to teach?”

“Makes perfect sense.” Ye Futian nodded in a humorless manner.

“I feel that it makes sense as well,” Yi Xiaoshi sighed and said.

“Is it too late for me to leave the mountain now?” Ye Futian looked at Yi Xiaoshi, feeling that he had been deceived.

Yi Xiaoshi patted on Ye Futian’s shoulder again. “The environment is not bad. And we also have pretty senior sisters.

“The food is good as well,” seeming to have recalled something, Yi Xiaoshi added.

Sigh… Ye Futian heaved a long sigh.

Not far away, the girl finished washing the clothes and walked towards them. She smiled and said to Ye Futian, “Younger brother, why are you sighing?”

“Sister, I am just sighing about why I didn’t come to such a great place earlier,” Ye Futian said as he smiled brightly.

“Okay, but aren’t you already in the Cottage now?” The girl gave a sweet smile.

“Sister Xing’er, go on with your work. I will bring him to where we stay,” Yi Xiaoshi said. Beitang Xing’er nodded gently and then walked towards the second sister.

“This sister is called Xing’er?” Ye Futian asked.

“Yes. The sixth sister is called Beitang Xing’er, the second sister Zhuge Hui, the fourth brother Xue Ye and the fifth brother Luo Fan. You should already know the name of the third brother.”

Ye Futian nodded and memorized these names in his heart.

Yi Xiaoshi brought Ye Futian and Yu Sheng to two huts and said, “In the future, you will stay here.”

“Alright.” Ye Futian nodded. He was unconcerned about staying in a shabby place. After all, he was not a pampered young master.

“When the meal starts I will come and call you. Although cultivators absorb Spiritual Qi in the world, in the Cottage, we eat the three meals whenever we can. The food is really good,” Yi Xiaoshi said.

“Got it.” Ye Futian nodded. Yi Xiaoshi also left the place.

Ye Futian sat down in front of the hut and looked at Yu Sheng.

“Why are you staring at me?” Yu Sheng asked.

“I can’t even look at you?” Ye Futian opened his eyes wide at Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng looked as if he was wronged. Why do you vent your anger on me when you are in a bad mood? he thought.

“Take the guqin here,” Ye Futian said. Yu Sheng took down the guqin from his back and placed it before Ye Futian. Then, Ye Futian stroked on the guqin and started playing alone. The melodious music was gentle and peaceful, and actually suited the environment in the Cottage. The music spread into the distance continuously.

Shortly afterward, Yi Xiaoshi returned again, as it was lunchtime. Ye Futian and Yusheng went to the residence of the second sister. The fifth brother Luo Fan was busy serving the dishes. The second sister was sitting in the first position, and Beitang Xing’er was sitting beside serving her. The third brother was sitting directly opposite them, while the fourth brother Xue Ye was still copying the book.

“The little brother is here.” Seeing Ye Futian enter, the second sister smiled warmly.

“Hello, sister,” Ye Futian smiled as he shouted. “Hello, third brother.” At the moment, he already knew the positions of the two in the Cottage. He, therefore, had to serve them well and could not even offend one of them.

“Younger brother, sit beside me,” Gu Dongliu said. Ye Futian nodded and sat down beside Gu Dongliu.

“Yu Sheng, sit as well. Since you have come to the Cottage, we’re one family,” Gu Dongliu smiled and said.

Yu Sheng nodded and sat down beside Ye Futian. The fourth brother glanced at them secretly and felt somewhat depressed. Why is the little brother treated so well?

“Xiaoshi, go and fill the bowls with rice,” the second sister said to Yi Xiaoshi.

“Why is it still me?” Yi Xiaoshi muttered to himself resignedly and glanced at Ye Futian. When he just entered, didn’t we agree that the most junior one shall do this?

The second sister looked at him, smiling.

“I will go.” Immediately, Yi Xiaoshi’s face was filled with smile and his round body trotted forward to fill the rice.

“Smells nice.” Ye Futian looked at the dishes in front of him. They were all meat, and the fragrance reached everyone’s nose. Beauties like second sister and sixth sister eat so much meat every day and yet they are still so slim.

“Fifth brother, your cooking skills are really amazing,” Ye Futian looked at and said to the fifth brother who was serving the dishes.

“It’s all through practice,” the fifth brother muttered resignedly.

“Alright, let’s eat,” the second sister smiled and said. Immediately, everyone started to eat.

Ye Futian tried out a piece of meat. It was fragrant and tender, and extremely delicious. In addition, when the meat entered his body, he could actually vaguely feel a mysterious current.

“Is it good?” the second sister asked, smiling.

“It’s very tasty.” Ye Futian nodded.

“Then eat more,” the second sister said, helping Ye Futian to fill his bowl with meat. At that instant, the looks from everyone else froze as they stared at the scene, stunned. Yi Xiaoshi rolled his eyes. Is this the benefit of sweet talking? Should I learn it? Glancing at the third brother secretly, he quickly gave up on the plan.

“Thank you, sister,” Ye Futian said. He did not dare to look at the third brother who was just beside him and he felt extremely awkward.

“You should eat more as well.” Gu Dongliu helped to refill the bowl of the second sister, who lowered her head and ignored him but also did not reject him.

“Little brother,” Gu Dongliu shouted.

“Brother,” Ye Futian responded.

“Your sister likes to joke. Don’t take it seriously. Since I have brought you here, whatever issues you encounter on the mountain, you can come and find me,” Gu Dongliu said with some hidden meaning.

“Alright, I understand.” Ye Futian nodded.

“You are good at music?” Gu Dongliu said again. Even though Ye Futian broke many records in the Ancient Barren World, apart from knowing that he was a full attribute Mandate Sorcerer, they were unsure about what exactly Ye Futian was skilled in.

“I know a bit of that.” Ye Futian nodded.

“The sound from the strings was not clear enough. They should be too old. Xing’er, later come with me. We will help the little brother to change the strings,” Gu Dongliu said.

“Okay.” Beitang Xing’er nodded gently.

“Thank you, brother and sister,” Ye Futian said, smiling. Why do the second sister and the third brother look like a couple bickering with each other? he thought.

After finishing their meals, Gu Dongliu said, “Let’s go.”

“I will go and take a look as well.” Zhuge Hui smiled and stood up.

Ye Futian looked at Yu Sheng with a strange expression and said softly, “Do you feel anything?”

“Yes, I am filled with strength.” Yu Sheng nodded. After finishing the meal, he actually felt that he had an endless amount of power and wanted very much to release them.

Yi Xiaoshi said that the food was good. It indeed seemed to be amazing.

The group walked towards a certain direction. Ye Futian realized that the second sister did not speak to the third brother throughout the journey. They reached a somewhat remote place on the mountain. Before them, there was a huge stone cave. Gu Dongliu stepped into the stone cave first, and Ye Futian followed quietly.

Roar… A loud voice spread. Ye Futian felt that the blood in his body was rolling and gave a stuffy hum, almost spitting out blood.

“Dragon roar.” Ye Futian could feel his heart tremble. His legs were weak but he continued moving forward. Entering the cave, he realized that it was a different world inside altogether. There were many smaller stone caves, and one of them was flashing with terrifying light runes which were carved all over the stone walls and lighted up the cave. They seemed to contain the formidable powers of matrix.

In the stone cave, a ferocious black dragon was coiled up. Its furious and cold eyes stared at Gu Dongliu. At the moment, there was a large wound on the black dragon which was filled with blood.

“I will eat you all,” the black dragon said in a cold tone.

“If your tendon is pulled out, you won’t die right?” Gu Dongliu said tonelessly.

The black dragon widened its eyes, after which it started to roar violently, causing the cave to vibrate wildly. The runes around it became bright and turned into countless terrifying beams of matrix light which enveloped the black dragon. Its huge body struggled madly, and it felt as if there was an earthquake.

“You dare to do this to me,” the black dragon roared in anger.

“Why didn’t you think about this when you were eating people?” Gu Dongliu said emotionlessly.

“It’s a growing black dragon which actually eats cultivators. The third brother captured it and brought it back,” Beitang Xing’er said softly to Ye Futian.

“What did we eat just now?” Ye Futian looked at Beitang Xing’er.

“Obviously it’s dragon meat. Next to it, there are also a few very evil demon kings. Their recovery abilities are all very strong. If we cut off a bit of flesh every day, it will grow back very soon.” Beitang Xing’er smiled gently.

“I’ve gained much knowledge.” Ye Futian had always thought that he was very capable, but now that he was at the Cottage, he had to admit defeat. They had been eating the meat from demon kings every day. The food was more than just good!

“Why did the third brother say that he would pull out the dragon’s tendons?” Ye Futian blinked his eyes.

“To make the strings for your guqin,” Beitang Xing’er said as she smiled sweetly.

Ye Futian was very touched, even to the point of crying out loud. He would never want to leave the mountain again, even if someone was chasing him away.

Next, the stone cave seemed to have started cracking apart. Ye Futian quickly ran out of the stone cave, unable to tolerate the scene. The miserable and angry roars of the black dragon spread out from the cave.

Pulling the dragon tendons.

After an hour, in front of Zhuge Hui’s hut, Ye Futian watched as the second sister and the sixth sister attentively helped him to change the strings on the guqin. His heart felt somewhat warm.

“Third brother.” At the moment, Yi Xiaoshi ran over from the distance.

“Yes?” Gu Dongliu, who was standing beside Zhuge Hui and watching her actions, raised his head and asked.

“Someone from the College came and said that there is a trial for all the newly admitted disciples. They invited the little brother to take part,” Yi Xiaoshi said. “According to them, Xiao Wuji will participate in it, so the little brother naturally should as well.”

Xiao Wuji and Ye Futian were both invited to attend the College.

“Tell them, next time, don’t find the Cottage for such trivial matters. We’re not free,” Gu Dongliu said.

“Alright.” Yi Xiaoshi nodded.
