nAt the four-part architecture.

n

n

nLi Nianfan was in a good mood because of the addition of liveliness at home.

n

n

n

n

nFor so many years, he had been living alone, which made him feel lonely sometimes. Although he started having visitors recently, they were cultivators! Precisely speaking, they were not of the same world!

n

n

nHowever, today the four-part architecture welcomed its second mistress, who was also very beautiful. Although Li Nianfan did not look for appearances, who would not wish for his wife to be beautiful? In the words of his past-realm, god was being quite nice to him after all.

n

n

nMeanwhile, Li Nianfan was introducing Daji to their home. As expected, Daji was stunned and surprised as she was shown around. He felt proud of himself. These were all given to him by the System. Although the System was stingy sometimes, the gifts he received were of high quality. Also, most of the furniture and interior was designed in the style of his past-realm. It seemed that none of the facilities and decorations in this realm were as impressive as his residence! He knew that whenever the cultivators came over, they were always impressed. For that, he was proud of himself.

n

n

nFollowing that, he introduced the family members to Daji. Li Nianfan pointed at Blackie and said, “The big black dog is named Blackie. It’s very smart! Blackie, greet Daji.”

n

n

n

n

nBlackie had an arrogant look, but it still shook its tail at Daji obediently. Daji waved back at Blackie with a friendly gesture.

n

n

n“Following that, another member of the family is the butler of our four-part architecture.”

n

n

nLi Nianfan introduced with a smirk and said to Xiao Bai, “Come over here, Xiao Bai. From today onward, Daji is going to be living here. You have to listen to her, alright?”

n

n

nXiao Bai bowed like a gentleman. “Greetings to my mistress. Hello, my mistress.”

n

n

n

n

nDaji’s small lips parted slightly. She had a blank look and asked surprised, “Spiritual Robot?”

n

n

n“Not a Spiritual Robot, just some kind of advanced technology. If you need anything, just order Xiao Bai to do it for you. It does a very good job,” Li Nianfan explained.

n

n

nOf course, Daji had no heart to listen to his explanation. She already saw how extraordinary this place was. Any corner was filled with treasures that were comparable to immortal items. It would be silly to treat Li Nianfan as an ordinary man.

n

n

nPerhaps even the Immortal Palace was nothing compared to this place.

n

n

nNo wonder the cultivators were trying so hard to please Mr. Li. He was a hidden expert! The man who Daji had always wanted to repay kindness turned out to be a bigshot. This complicated many things.

n

n

nInitially, she planned to marry Li Nianfan after the transformation. To make kids with him and to stay by him, protecting him from harm.

n

n

n

n

nNow… Would Mr. Li even want to be with her?

n

n

nDaji asked in a perturbed voice, “Mr. Li, can I really live here?”

n

n

n“Of course, you may. You’re more than welcomed to live here, and to treat this as your home.” Li Nianfan smiled.

n

n

n“Thank you, so much, Mr. Li. I’ll serve you well.” Daji let out a long sigh of relief. She already made up her mind that since she had no more powers to help her return his favor, she would do anything else to make up for it.

n

n

n“Not serve, we’re equal,” Li Nianwan clarified with a hopeless look. Although, when Daji said she was going to ‘serve’ him, he did feel pretty good about it. Nonetheless, Li Nianfan still thought it was important to correct her thinking.

n

n

n“Mr. Li, you saved my life and you’re willing to keep me with you. Of course, I’d do anything to repay you. How can I be your equal?” Daji looked at Li Nianfan with tears in her eyes and bit her lip. “Unless you’re trying to ask me to leave?”

n

n

nIn her heart, she added another sentence, ‘You might have forgotten about the little fox you saved but I could never forget about that!’

n

n

nLi Nianfan had saved her life twice! And now he was willing to keep her, sheltering her from the hunt of the outside world. This was equivalent to saving her for the third time! How could she ever return such kindness?

n

n

n

n

nWatching Daji almost starting to cry, he said hopelessly, “Do as you please, then.”

n

n

n‘Look at how pure and innocent ancient women are,’ he thought with pleasure.

n

n

n“Oh yeah, do you play chess?” Li Nianfan asked. He wanted to play chess. There was too little entertainment here, and playing chess was one of the few hobbies he had. Usually, he played chess with Xiao Bai, but Xiao Bai was a robot anyway. Playing chess with it did not feel anything like playing with a real human being.

n

n

n“I don’t really know how,” Daji said apologetically.

n

n

n“Don’t worry, I can teach you.” Li Nianfan smiled. He took out the chessboard and set it up on the stone table in the inner court.

n

n

n“Xiao Bai, make us two glasses of watermelon juice,” Li Nianfan ordered. Women must enjoy drinking juices.

n

n

nLi Nianfan and Daji sat facing one another. Li Nianfan took the black side, and Daji took the white side.

n

n

nClap.

n

n

nLi Nianfan took the lead. The chess pieces fell on the board. Daji jolted slightly as the things in front of her started transforming. In front of her, the surface of the board magnified rapidly as her surroundings disappeared, drowning her in black and white.

n

n

nThe two colors were continuously interweaving, overflowing with Insights.

n

n

nWas this…the Insights of Yin Yang?

n

n

nDaji’s heart trembled, struggling to breathe from the overwhelming Insights of Yin Yang. Every move was extremely difficult. Soon, her face was filled with sweat. She ran out of energy and could not even lift a chess piece. Although she had lost all her cultivation, her thousand years of cultivated Insights were still there. Yet, her Insights were nothing in comparison to Li Nianfan’s.

n

n

nHow was this chess playing? This was more of an exchange of Insights!

n

n

n

n

n“It seems that you really don’t know how to play chess.” Li Nianfan sighed. He thought Daji was being humble at first, but he never thought that she really could not play.

n

n

n“Let me teach you. You can place this piece here so that it directs toward me, and it may attack or defend, and next, the black can fall here, you may…”

n

n

nLi Nianfan was explaining to her with patience while Daji listened attentively. In front of her, the black and white world kept entangling. You contained I and I contained you, just like the constant change between the sky and the ground. The chaos was in order, many things were pointed to Daji, so…this was what Insights should be like!

n

n

n‘No wonder I was severely wounded during the transformation, it seems that my Insights path was wrong.’ Daji exclaimed in her heart, feeling touched and excited. “Mr. Li is showing me with such kindness, he must’ve known that my path was incorrect and he’s using this way to point it out to me. He’s trying to teach me!’

n

n

nJust by listening attentively to Li Nianfan’s teachings, her realm kept rising. Once her injuries were recovered, she felt that she would be able to return to her peak, or even better!

n

n

nLi Nianfan was getting thirsty from talking so much. Coincidently, Xiao Bai brought over two glasses of watermelon juice.

n

n

n“Try this, I’m sure you’ll like it.” Daji nodded. She still seemed rather confused. Li Nianfan was being very detailed, but the Basics of Insights were too complex. There were still many things that were beyond her grasp. It was right in front of her, yet it felt like there was fog blocking her from seeing the basics of it.

n

n

n‘Sigh, my understanding is too shallow,’ Daji thought, feeling guilty about receiving Li Nianfan’s patience and teaching.

n

n

nHer gaze fell onto the watermelon juice in front of her. Inside the transparent crystal glass, the bright red juice was glowing as it reflected the sunlight. The glass seemed to have been cooled as the surface was covered with tiny droplets, making one feel refreshed merely by looking at it.
