I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

After a while, Li Nianfan was done with his yoga.

He saw Daji standing at the door. He asked curiously, “Daji, where have you been?”

Daji smiled softly and said, “That day you mentioned missing a light source for the lantern. I had an idea so I went to look for one last night. I finally found one.”

The two Firefly Demons were thunderstruck by her demeanor. They could not believe it.

What was going on?

Was this the same Nine-Tailed Fox?

They did not expect the coldhearted, powerful Nine-Tailed Fox to have a soft and feminine side.

Must be two different people!

What kind of God was her master? How was he able to tame the Nine-Tailed Fox?

The two demons looked at Li Nianfan. He seemed completely ordinary.

Their Demon King was right. Her master loved roleplaying as an ordinary man.

Li Nianfan asked out of curiosity, “Oh? What kind of light source?”

Daji raised her bag and smiled. “This. Fireflies!”

Li Nianfan laughed. “Fireflies? What a creative idea! Show me.”

Daji passed the bag over to Li Nianfan. Flying lights could be seen from outside the bag. They were flickering brightly.

Daji said, “These fireflies aren’t small and they’re extremely clever. You can order them to control their brightness.”

“Voice-controlled?” Li Nianfan’s eyes lit up. The things from the Immortal Realm were truly extraordinary. Every item could be voice-controlled.

He grinned and tried. “Brighten up!”

The bag glowed brighter.

“Good, good, awesome!” Li Nianfan nodded in satisfaction.

He felt touched as he looked at Daji.

She went to find him a solution just because he mumbled something unconsciously. Also, she bravely went into the woods alone to capture the fireflies.

It was difficult to capture fireflies, especially in the Immortal Realm.

He got lucky when he adopted this beautiful and considerate woman.

However, it was dangerous for a woman to be in the woods alone at night. She was risking her life.

“Don’t do that next time. It’s too dangerous!” Li Nianfan scolded her, trying to look serious.

‘Is the master worried about me?

‘Of course, the master probably knows about how I helped sister with the Demon King title. He must be worried that I’d get ambushed by demons.’

Daji thought it was sweet. She bowed her head and obediently said, “Okay.”

Li Nianfan suddenly felt bad when he saw Daji looking like that. He said, “I like this a lot. Thank you.”

Daji was beaming. “It’s what I should be doing.”

The two Firefly Demons were baffled. The Nine-Tailed Fox was behaving coquettishly. Where was her Demon King aura?

The demons noticed Li Nianfan looking at them so they tried to look alive. They blended in with the other fireflies. “Nothing to see here. I’m just a normal firefly. I’m an emotionless lighting tool.”

Li Nianfan took the bag and walked over to the lantern, transferring all the fireflies into it.

Instantly, the big red lantern was lit. The golden ‘Fu’ was beaming, too.

The fireflies did not disappoint Li Nianfan. They were brighter and more magical than an ordinary lantern.

The two tiny demons were initially curious about Li Nianfan. However, once they were trapped in the lantern, the feeling of fear replaced their curiosity.

They felt bound as soon as they entered the lantern—like they were born to be a part of this lantern, like they were its natural light source.

“This…”

They were horrified.

This was against the laws of nature!

Nobody had ever done this before. It was unheard of!

They looked at each other and remembered when Daji said this would be the breakthrough of their lifetimes!

It did change their lives, but the breakthrough was…to become a lantern?

It seemed to be a scam!

They landed on the lantern frame and admitted to their defeat, drooping their heads disappointingly.

Suddenly, one of the demons was surprised. It slowly looked up at the lantern frame and sniffed it.

Buzz!

Its brain went dizzy, but it was somehow comforting. It felt a pleasure it had never felt before, a refreshing type of clarity.

Animals would transform into demons once they developed a consciousness. Then, they would train their spirit to become more powerful. Finally, they would become powerful demons.

The Firefly Demons had developed consciousness, but they were not strong at all. It suddenly had an idea to train their spirit!

“This bamboo…”

It stared at the bamboo dreamily.

“What about it?” asked the other demon.

“I took a sniff of the bamboo, and…developed a cultivation method.”

“What? You’re dreaming!” The other demon stared back in disbelief. “How’s that possible?”

It took a deep sniff without hesitation.

Then, its body shook. When it opened its eyes again, its light was flickering like crazy. The Firefly Demon was shocked and hysterical.

How could this be?

It looked at the bamboo again, feeling goosebumps all over. The Firefly Demon was excited and terrified at the same time.

What was this? It could help with leveling up the spirit and Dao!

It looked at the other ordinary fireflies. These fireflies were different. They had stars in their eyes. It was the first sign of consciousness development!
