Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"As expected of you~"

Liu Kunsheng: "…………" Is scaring away animals really that impressive?

As the beasts fled, a weasel ran towards them. It stood on a tree branch, stared at Fang Rui for a moment, and its slightly open mouth revealed its surprise.

Who is this guy?

It actually managed to sit on Liu Kunsheng's head. Given Liu Kunsheng's personality, it's simply... outrageous that he would allow someone to sit on his head!

The surprise quickly dissipated, and the mandarin duck looked at Fang Rui and asked, "What brings you here?"

"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Liu Kunsheng yelled.

But the sable ignored it completely. Although I am not as strong as you, you can't do anything to me. Therefore, the sable was not afraid of Liu Kunsheng at all.

He didn't even glance at Liu Kunsheng; his gaze remained fixed on Fang Rui.

"Your Qi Refining Method," Fang Rui said.

"Okay, here you go." The sable readily agreed and immediately tried to make a move.

"Wait, don't give it to me, give it to her." Fang Rui pointed at Lü Huan beside him and said quickly.

"Okay." The sable nodded again, and a point of light floated toward Lü Huan.

Then, the sable asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes," Fang Rui said, voicing his doubts. "I want to ask, why did you agree so readily?"

“It’s very simple. Giving you the Qi Refining Method will not cost me anything, and besides…” The mink looked at the snake and said in a gentle female voice, “This snake has a bad temper. The fact that you can sit on its head and make it come to me is enough to prove something.”

The sable didn't elaborate on what it was meant to prove, but its gaze lingered on Liu Kunsheng's incompletely healed injuries as it spoke, and one could vaguely guess what it was thinking.

Noticing its gaze, Fang Rui understood its meaning and didn't press further.

"You're a smart man," Fang Rui casually complimented the mandarin duck, then said to Liu Kunsheng, "Let's go find the next one."

The snake twisted its body and quickly left the area.

Watching Fang Rui's retreating figure, the sable thought to itself, "But I'm not human, you should praise me as a smart sable."

After saying that, the sable turned and left, running deep into the mountains and forests.

On the other side, Fang Rui took out steamed buns, braised beef, and water, and gave one portion to Lü Huan.

As the two were preparing to eat, the squirrel wagged its tail slightly and asked loudly, "Where's my dinner?"

Immediately afterwards, another, even louder voice rang out: "Mine too!!!"

"I've already helped out, so you have to provide meals!"

Liu Kunsheng's tone was quite self-righteous.

"After a snake eats a meal, doesn't it go a long time without needing to eat again?" Fang Rui said with a hint of helplessness, holding a steamed bun in his left hand and a piece of braised beef in his right.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten, but it's not like I haven't eaten at all," Liu Kun said confidently. "So...where's my food?!"

"The little bit of meat I brought isn't enough for you," Fang Rui said.

"I don't care about all that, you just have to feed me." Liu Kunsheng indicated that he wouldn't listen to anything else.

"That's right, that's right." The little squirrel waved its short arms.

Fang Rui tilted his head slightly, his eyes showing a hint of speechlessness: "Why are you getting involved in this mess?"

“I also contributed,” the squirrel said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Kunsheng's eyes lit up. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. You're the one who brought this guy to my house."

Sensing the murderous intent, the squirrel froze, sensing impending doom...

Chapter 44 Coming Out

"Okay~"

The snake and the squirrel made a lot of sense, and Fang Rui had no reason to refuse. However, all the meat stored in his sac was only enough for one meal for a snake demon as big as a bullet train...

Therefore, if we want to feed that hungry snake demon, we must find another way...

first……

Fang Rui's gaze fell upon the dark forest, where the rolling mountains were rich in animal resources, enough to feed the snake demon Liu Kunsheng.

However... Fang Rui crossed his arms, completely refusing the idea of ​​catching rabbits all over the mountains.

So……

Fang Rui seemed to be deep in thought. He gently patted a certain black scale a few times and asked softly, "Big black snake, is there a river nearby? Or a lake would also be fine."

"Yes," Liu Kunsheng replied in a muffled voice, "There's a river and a lake not far away."

It didn't like the nickname "Big Black Snake" at all, but when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

"Go to the one that's closest," Fang Rui said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Kunsheng changed his direction of travel. The huge and heavy snake body crushed the flowers, trees and shrubs along the way, leaving very conspicuous marks in the mountains and forests.

After some time, a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides came into Fang Rui's view. In the center of the valley was a lake of moderate size, with its surface rippling gently and reflecting the silvery moonlight.

On the side without mountains is a river that flows from outside the valley and connects to the lakes inside the valley.

“This is it.” Liu Kunsheng said as he climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the shimmering lake.

"Okay, I'll prepare dinner for you right away."

Fang Rui clapped his hands, and a pile of talismans took shape and flew towards the lake like swallows returning to their nests.

Crackling...

Dazzling lightning danced on the water's surface, stunning the fish, which floated belly up on the water.

Then a fierce wind howled, and the fish and shrimp were swept up and carried by the wind towards this place.

Seeing this, Liu Kunsheng slightly twisted his body, moved forward a few meters, tilted his head back slightly, and opened his mouth...

Gululu...

A swarm of fish and shrimp rushed into Liu Kunsheng's mouth.

A dozen seconds later, the last fish slithered into his mouth, and Liu Kunsheng slowly closed his mouth, flicking his scarlet forked tongue with a slightly satisfied expression. The whole snake looked somewhat lazy.

According to its usual habits, it would definitely take a nap after eating, but now it has work to finish and no free time to rest.

Just as it slowly turned its head, preparing to leave, it suddenly stopped...

dong dong dong...

A sound similar to drumming rang out in the quiet night. Fang Rui was certain that the sound was coming from inside Liu Kunsheng's body. He turned to look at the snake's body covered in black scales, his gaze moving from near to far along the snake's body...

Suddenly, Fang Rui's gaze stopped on a certain spot, where a bulge suddenly appeared and then quickly disappeared, followed by another bulge that disappeared again... This repeated rapidly, quickly moving closer to Fang Rui's location.

Fang Rui, who already had a guess, remained silent, his gaze following the movement of the bulge until it emerged from Liu Kunsheng's mouth. It was a brownish-green head, about the size of a palm.

"Ah~ we finally escaped."

That rough voice evoked images of a burly man with a thick beard.

Liu Kunsheng opened his mouth and spat out the foreign object. The rough voice trailed off with a "Ahhh~~~" and gradually faded away. The two people, the snake, and the squirrel could all see the shape of the creature that made the sound. It was roughly half an egg.

But to describe it in more detail, it's a turtle shell, with its limbs and head retracted inside.

Watching the turtle shell roll down the hillside towards the lake, Fang Rui patted Liu Kunsheng's head a few times and asked softly, "Do you know him?"

"I don't know them." Liu Kunsheng wanted to shake his head, but he held back when he thought of the two people sitting above him.

"This land is vast, and I can't possibly know every single one of these sentient beings, nor do I have any interest in getting to know them all."

Fang Rui nodded slightly to show that he understood, and said, "It doesn't matter if we don't know each other. Since we've run into each other, let's not let this opportunity pass us by."

"Go ahead and make it hand over the method of refining Qi."

Lü Huan: "…………"

Liu Kunsheng: "…………"

squirrel:"…………"

This doesn't sound quite right!

The smell of robbers is quite strong!

However... the man, the snake, and the squirrel did not voice their thoughts, and all acted according to Fang Rui's orders.

A few minutes later, Qi Refining Method +1.

In the following days, Liu Kunsheng drove Fang Rui and Lü Huan to visit the immortals who cultivated in the mountains one by one. When Fang Rui made a request, some of the immortals readily provided methods of refining qi.

Another group of immortals refused to cooperate and, like Liu Kunsheng before them, chose to take action. They were then severely beaten and eventually had to hand over the method of refining Qi.

Half a month later, Fang Rui, having made a considerable profit, decided to leave and return to Biyou Village.

Because Liu Kunsheng was too large to be seen in public, another demon escorted him and Lü Huan out of the mountains.

"Old Qian! Don't bother seeing me off!"

Fang Rui waved his hand a few times, then turned and walked toward the road. Lü Huan followed beside him, and a squirrel perched on Lü Huan's left shoulder, a pleasant surprise.

Watching the two figures disappear, the leopard standing on the hillside breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Finally, I've sent that guy away.

After watching for a while, the leopard turned and returned to the forest, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Fang Rui took out his phone, which contained more than a dozen power banks, so he wasn't worried about it running out of power at all.

First, look at the signal bar in the upper right corner, then log in to the chat software, find the driver, and send them a location share message.

Fang Rui: "Come pick me up quickly."

Driver: "Oh my, you've finally come out! I was about to leave if you hadn't come out soon..."

Fang Rui: "I thought you were going to send someone to find me~"

The driver said, "I had that idea, but when I asked Shen Chong, he said it wasn't necessary, so I gave up on the idea."

Very well, Shen Chong, I'll remember this grudge. I'll beat you up next time we meet.

Thinking this, Fang Rui typed: "Alright, we can talk about this later. Come pick me up."
