The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei was furious.

"Hey, Old Deng, that's not what you just said!"

"Who shouted 'Wuhu! Feels good!' just now?"

However, when faced with Li Mingfei's rebuttal, Emperor Jin denied it on the spot, just like a child.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I couldn't have said that!"

Seeing him like this, Li Mingfei couldn't help but shake his head. He immediately glanced around and asked,

"By the way, Old Deng, where exactly are we going?"

However, even now, Emperor Jin still smiles and shakes his head.

You'll find out when you get there!

Soon, the two landed on a mountaintop. Emperor Jin looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, this is it!"

Then he started looking around. Li Mingfei was about to speak when he saw Jin Di's eyes light up.

"Hey, this stone is nice, it's square and won't hurt your butt!"

He immediately stepped forward and, with a burst of strength, lifted a rock about the height of his calf.

Seeing this, Li Mingfei quickly stepped forward.

"Old Deng, why are you carrying that rock? Let me do it!"

Although he didn't know what Old Deng was going to do with the rock, he still decided to carry it himself, otherwise it would be bad if something happened to his old arms and legs!

However, when Li Mingfei stepped forward to help, Emperor Jin immediately rebuked him.

"I'm a military man by trade. Do I need your help to carry a rock? Get lost!"

With no other option, Li Mingfei could only stand by and provide support, so he could help if Old Deng really couldn't move it anymore.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jin just kept walking forward while holding the stone, without ever putting it down.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a grove of trees.

This grove of trees is extremely lush, but it is somewhat slender compared to normal wild trees, and judging from the spacing between the trees, it is obviously planted by humans.

Seeing this, Emperor Jin slowly put down the stone he was holding, then squatted down to the side, panting heavily.

"Phew, we're finally here! Damn, I'm exhausted!"

Seeing him like this, Li Mingfei was both amused and exasperated.

"You old fool, I offered to help you earlier but you wouldn't have agreed, now look what's happened!"

"Have a couple of sips!"

Emperor Jin didn't hesitate, and Li Mingfei took two sips from the gourd in his hand, immediately feeling much more energetic.

"Wow, you've really gotten generous lately. You were so stingy when you asked me for military funds before, but now you're being so generous! You've even given away the spiritual spring water!"

Faced with Emperor Jin's teasing, Li Mingfei couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl up wildly.

"Ha, you wouldn't even call me 'Dad' back then, why should I give it to you!"

Emperor Jin was furious.

"Aaaah, you unfilial son!"

"I'll teach you a lesson in front of our ancestors!"

As he spoke, he threw down a tree branch and began to work frantically. Unfortunately, Li Mingfei was no longer the same as before, and he quickly exhausted Jin Di.

"Old Deng, when people get old, they have to accept it. What do you mean by 'in front of our ancestors'? There aren't any graves here!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jin immediately explained,

"Ever since I learned about the mysteries of the cultivation world, I've searched through all of our family's ancestral graves, then trampled them flat and planted trees on top of them."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if some expert plotted against our family!"

"After all, cultivators can transform into butterflies of rebirth and fly away, but we mortals with our mortal bodies can't!"

Li Mingfei was greatly surprised after hearing this.

"Wow, Old Deng, you've thought of everything so thoroughly!"

Unfortunately, his surprise was met with a disdainful look from the Emperor.

"Alright, I called you here today to be my laborer, so come and dig here!"

"I'll be buried here from now on, standing before my ancestors. Hahaha, I'm someone whose own page is in the family genealogy, so it's normal for me to be buried before them!"

But upon hearing this, Li Mingfei's heart tightened involuntarily.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to say something, the tree branch struck his buttocks.

"What are you standing there for? You're a cultivator, surely you have the strength to dig a hole for me!"

Left with no other choice, Li Mingfei finally began digging a pit under the coercion of Emperor Jin. He didn't use magic to dig the pit, but instead started digging with a shovel, one stroke at a time.

Watching Li Mingfei working diligently, Emperor Jin couldn't help but smile as he stood to the side.

He wasn't in a hurry, so he just stood there and watched Li Mingfei dig a hole, occasionally scolding him.

When the sun was high in the sky, Li Mingfei jumped out from inside!

"Old Deng, look at the spot where you'll be lying from now on. How about it? I dug this especially for you. Aren't you going to pay me?"

Although he said this, tears began to well up in his eyes.

Seeing this, Emperor Jin, unusually, was not angry. Instead, he stepped forward and wiped away Li Mingfei's tears.

"You're both men, Immortal Master, our family's first cultivator, why are you crying!"

"You're such a grown-up!"

At this moment, Li Mingfei was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Immediately, Emperor Jin pulled Li Mingfei to sit on the rock he had moved earlier, while he himself sat next to the pit Li Mingfei had dug.

After a long pause, Emperor Jin finally spoke.

"Mingfei, you've probably already guessed my situation. Yes, it'll be in the next couple of days!"

"But don't be too sad. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too do people experience birth, aging, sickness, and death!"

"This is perfectly normal for ordinary people!"

"The world of cultivation is enviable, but it's also fraught with danger. Once I die, this family will inevitably fall apart! I understand that very clearly!"

"But I want to say that there's definitely a lot of deceit and treachery in the cultivation world."

"If you're tired, sit down here and take a rest!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei finally couldn't hold back his tears and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Emperor Jin just smiled and kept patting his head, just like when he was a child!

The next morning, Emperor Jin's health was not as good as before. He immediately summoned his children and gave them some careful instructions before finally calling Li Mingfei over.

After giving one last instruction to bury him in the ancestral grave, Emperor Jin finally fell silent.

Thanks to Emperor Jin's arrangements, things were quite stable domestically. After all, knowing that a powerful figure stood behind Li Mingfei, no one dared to provoke him.

At least not when neither party explicitly stated a conflict.

Faced with overwhelming individual power, these mortal nations are not much different from a colony of ants.

After three days of national mourning, everyone returned to their places, except for Li Mingfei, who remained unusually quiet.

A month later, he reappeared at the house Jin Di had bought in Tianxing City. Originally intended for Li Mingfei's mother, the house was now given to Li Mingfei.

Fortunately, Emperor Jin did not commit suicide for love, so Li Mingfei fully recovered after staying with his mother for a while.

As he stepped into his home, Xiaoqi's face lit up with surprise, and she immediately rushed over to him.

"Master, you're back!"

Seeing her smile, Li Mingfei was also infected by it, and at the same time, he made up his mind.

"Yes, I'm back!"

"Xiao Qi, let's never be apart again, okay!"

Xiao Qi nodded.

"Yes, I want to be with my master forever and ever!"
