Crazy Nezha

In the kitchen of the sheep farm's backyard.

Li Tianbao hovered a dozen centimeters in mid-air, flames burning in his eyes, his face filled with shock:

"I! I... I'm flying!"

"Physics... seems to have ceased to exist."

The next moment, the flames in Li Tianbao's eyes instantly subsided, and his body landed on the ground.

Li Tianbao asked incredulously, "Did you see that just now?"

The Celestial Hound nodded excitedly, "Third Master, we saw it! We saw it clearly, we saw it perfectly! Third Master has magical powers! The shackles of Heaven have truly been broken by Third Master!"

Li Tianbao looked puzzled: "How did I do that? What kind of Heavenly Dao constraint is this?"

After absorbing the primordial spirit, the red fleshy ball in the spiritual platform suddenly stirred and then floated up.

Leopard Head's voice trembled, and he seemed a hundred times more excited and nervous than Xiaotian.

Perhaps because of nervousness, the black goat's buttocks were bleeding again, but he didn't care! Leopard Head said in a deep voice:

"Third Prince, since the Investiture of the Gods, the path to ascension for mortals has been sealed, forbidding mortals and spirits from becoming immortals. All living beings in the world are shackled by the Heavenly Dao."

"Throughout history, there has never been a shortage of ruthless people who defied the heavens, such as Ge Hong who cultivated against the current of alchemy, Lü Dongbin who broke free from worldly ties with his sword, Ma Yu, Zhang Sanfeng, and so on... Some of them descended to the mortal world to undergo a new training, while others cultivated themselves to their current level through hard work."

"For nearly four hundred years, the Twelve Golden Immortals have laid down new shackles, severing the magical power of the mortal world! Since then, no one in the mortal world has been able to ascend to immortality! This is why, even though Leopard Head and I have the methods of cultivation, we are unable to cultivate magical power."

The Celestial Hound continued, "We can only be like dogs, obediently reincarnating to atone for our sins. We are all sinners, committing different sins..."

Li Tianbao asked, "Then why can I cultivate magical power? Why can't the shackles of Heaven restrain me?"

Leopard Head trembled. "You did it! Brother Xiaotian, did you see that? The Third Prince did it!"

The Celestial Hound said, "Third Master, when I came down, Second Master instructed me to help you. He didn't say the specific reason. Perhaps you'll remember something when you reach a certain level of cultivation."

Li Tianbao remained silent, raised his hands, and began to think, "How do I use the magic I just used?"

Howling Celestial Dog: "The primordial spirit of a spirit beast is ultimately an external thing. Third Master, visualize your spiritual platform and tell me what you can see?"

With a thought, Li Tianbao looked inward at the red fleshy mass in his spiritual platform and saw a lotus flower appear. The stamen in the center was bright and beautiful, and the twelve petals floated slowly.

"There is a lotus flower with twelve petals in total. One petal is red, and the other eleven are black and white."

"One petal is red," Leopard Head said confidently. "It must have been lit by the spirit beast's primordial spirit. And the stamen?"

Li Tianbao: "The stamens around the flower are colorful, while the stamens in the center are black and white."

Leopard Head pondered: The lotus flower is divided into stamens and pistils, which are the secrets to the lotus's growth. The pistil is located in the center of the flower, and the center is colorless, which is why it lacks a pistil!

If eating the primordial spirit of a spirit beast can light up the petals, then what kind of spirit beast can light up the pistil? Leopard Head frowned and fell into deep thought.

The Celestial Hound was completely bewildered and asked, "Leopard Head, do you know what this lotus flower means? Second Master didn't mention it when we came down."

Leopard Head shook his head. "I don't know either. Perhaps it's the Third Prince's supernatural power."

Li Tianbao emerged from his inner vision state, his face beaming with excitement. "Nezha is an incarnation of a lotus! I want to devour the spirit beast's primordial spirit, I want to cultivate, and light up all the petals! I'll try meditating tonight to see if I can light them up!"

Howling Celestial Dog: "We can also try fighting. Second Master once said that the Dao Heart opens when life and death are on the line. It's a pity that in a society governed by law, there is no opportunity to fight to the death with others."

Li Tianbao grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth: "Kill the drug dealer?"

Roaring Sky Dog: "Wonderful!"

Leopard Head: "What if the drug dealers have guns? Third Prince, let's figure it out slowly. You're still very weak. Only one petal is lit up. Do you even know how to use your magic?"

With a thought, Li Tianbao floated a dozen centimeters into the air, flames igniting in his eyes. He drifted around the kitchen, trying to fly upwards but finding it impossible, and then landed.

Leopard Head: "That's it?"

Li Tianbao shrugged. "That's all for now!"

Howling Celestial Dog: "This is something so many people dream of but never get the chance in their lifetime! The shackles of over 400 years ago mean no one in the mortal world can use magic!"

Leopard Head agreed, "That's right, if outsiders saw this, it would shock the world! The Third Prince could even get the United Nations to host him!"

Li Tianbao: "I feel fantastic, I'm so excited."

Anyone would be excited. Unlike jumping off a rooftop before, which was at least within the realm of science, this is levitation. Who wouldn't be excited?

"I'm a little hungry. Using magic seems to drain my energy. I'll fry a few eggs, do you want some?"

Xiaotian: "I'll eat two."

Leopard Head: "I'm going out to eat some grass."

……

Li Tianbao busied himself in the kitchen for a while, frying more than 20 local eggs, some with soft yolks and some with golden brown on both sides. He carried the plate to the front room.

"Come on, Junbao, Sixth Brother, and this brother, try my fried eggs."

The three of them turned their heads and saw Li Tianbao smiling as he carried in a plate of eggs, placed it on the table, and set out bowls and chopsticks.

Six Monkeys told Yang Zijie everything he could, and the two had almost finished their conversation. Yang Zijie was also happy to fully cooperate with the Public Security Bureau.

Yang Zijie said, "Just fried eggs won't do, we need rice too! Where's that turtle you brought? I'll have Uncle Deaf braise it like a 'Farewell My Concubine'!"

Li Tianbao said, "The turtle is in the kitchen."

Yang Zijie went outside and gestured in sign language towards the sheep farm courtyard. The deaf-mute couple responded with muffled sounds and went to the kitchen.

Li Tianbao made milk for everyone again, and the little house became cozy.

Liu Hou looked to be in his early forties, with a buzz cut, giving him a clean and neat appearance, and a resolute and upright face. He had rushed over after a hurried meeting, and the tea he had drunk made his stomach feel empty; he was indeed hungry.

Liu Hou took a big bite. The fried egg was sprinkled with a little salt and pepper. The outer skin was crispy and delicious, and the yolk was oozing oil.

Six Monkeys: "It tastes like my grandma's. When I came back from evening self-study in junior high school, my grandma would often fry eggs for me and make me milk to drink."

While eating, Li Tianbao said, "When I was in elementary school, my parents were busy, so I often went to my second uncle's house to do my homework after school in the evening. Chen Rui would go too, and my second uncle liked to fry eggs for the two of us."

"Later I started cooking by myself, and Chen Rui watched from the side. One time my second uncle found out and scolded us, saying that second-grade elementary school students shouldn't use gas stoves."

Six Monkeys asked, "Did you grow up with Chen Rui?"

Li Tianbao: "In elementary school, we were in the same school but not in the same class; in junior high, we were in the same class; and in high school, we were in the same school but not in the same class."

Six Monkeys: "What about university?"

Li Tianbao: "The universities were in the same city, Zhengcheng. I went to Zhengzhou University for Art and Design, and Chen Rui went to Zhengcheng Police Academy."

Yang Zijie finished his meal quickly. "I'll go get some beer. Do you guys want some?"

Six Monkeys: "Hehe, we can't drink during work hours. Li Tianbao, are you drinking?"

Li Tianbao: "I won't drink."

Howling Celestial Dog: "I'll drink it."

Li Tianbao: "Take two bottles."

Yang Zijie frowned. "Are you going to drink or not?!"

Xiaotian: "It's icy."

Yang Zijie: "Why does this dog keep barking?"

Li Tianbao patted the dog's head, and Xiaotian quieted down.

After Yang Zijie left, Liu Hou became serious and whispered, "Chen Rui is now in contact with Old K. She is the Crown Prince's secretary. The latest news is that Old K wants to make a deal with you first thing tomorrow morning."
