Chapter 102: First Ice Pop Experience

Compared to the last time he was here, the inner court had many new additions. It looked like a mini forest now.
Although he heard from Luo Shiyu that the expert made the elixirs into his bonsai, seeing them with his own eyes caused his throat to turn dry and his heart to throb hard.
These were the top graded elixirs, ones that could not be reproduced. Not only did he use them as decorations, he even grew them so well!
The world of a bigshot was indeed beyond one’s imagination!
He then looked at the table with a crystal ball on it. He wondered why it somehow resembled the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion’s Preaching Pearl.
The Preaching Pearl was the most precious treasure of the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion and not many people had seen it before. The expert simply placed it on the table? As a decoration? For everyone to see?
Gulp!
The Holy Emperor swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to divert his attention.
Hmph? The rockery?
His pupils dilated. An audacious speculation appeared in his mind. Luo Shiyu told him that the last time she came with Qin Manyun, the expert seemed to be interested in their Thousand-Year Black Ice, even calling it ‘jello’. So, they actually brought over the entire Thousand-Year Black Ice for him?!
Wow! How generous!
Unfortunately, the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty had few treasures. They had nothing to offer him other than fulfilling any task given to them!
Li Nianfan kept the letter and said to the Holy Emperor, “Thank you for bringing the letter over for me. Thank you so much!”
The Holy Emperor said hastily, “You’re too humble! We were coming to visit you anyway.”
“Hahaha! I guess you two came for a meal, eh?” Li Nianfan smiled as he looked at the Holy Emperor, almost as if he could see through everything.
This bunch of cultivators had always been friendly to an ordinary man like himself. They were friendly, appreciated his art, and liked his food!
The Holy Emperor frequently came to visit him. If he was not here for his writings, then, of course, he came for a free meal!
“This…”
The Holy Emperor’s face turned pale. His heartbeat fastened. He was dumbfounded.
Luo Shiyu’s mind went blank as well. Her body went stiff. She did not even dare to take a full breath.
The expert saw through them! Why did they even try to hide it from him? What now? Was he mad?
They did not dare to meet his eyes. Their hands and legs had gone chilly, and within a few seconds, they were covered in cold sweat.
With no other choice, the Holy Emperor bit his tongue. He did not try to hide it from him any longer. “There’s indeed nothing we can keep from Mr. Li, you’re right.”
“Well, I haven’t been having any fancy meals these days. As you know, it hasn’t been very safe. I can’t go out, so I’ve been eating quite plainly.” Li Nianfan shook his head hopelessly.
Due to the increase in demon activities, he had not gone out hunting lately. He continued with a smile, “However, I do have a delicious treat for you. You came at the right time!”
Pheww…
Seeing that Li Nianfan was not mad, the Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu let out a sigh of relief in unison. They felt as if they had gone from hell to heaven, walking out from the gates of hell!
The Holy Emperor was still feeling uneasy with Li Nianfan’s attitude. He said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Li. We’ve already delivered the letter. We should go.”
Li Nianfan said, “Alright, don’t reject me. Stop the pretense!”
The Holy Emperor stopped talking all at once. He really wanted to eat—really, really wanted to eat.
This was the expert’s food! No ordinary food! Even an Immortal could not get the chance to eat it!
Beside him, Luo Shiyu was already salivating in anticipation.
With much anticipation, they watched Li Nianfan walk to the stream beside the Thousand-Year Black Ice. A part of the stream was frozen into ice, and there were some wooden strips on top of it.
As the Holy Emperor hesitated, he suddenly saw the azure blue hexagonal object resting at the center of the frozen stream. He stared at it with a look of disbelief.
That…that…
He rubbed his eyes again and looked closely.
Ice-Crystal!
It had to be the Ice-Crystal!
He just realized there was an Ice-Crystal in the expert’s stream!
What was that about? He was using the Ice-Crystal to freeze his stream?
So…sumptuous!
He took a deep breath as he tried to calm down from the shock.
Li Nianfan called out, “Daji, the ice pop is ready. Come try some!”
“Coming!” Daji answered from inside the room.
With that, Daji opened the door and walked out with a look of playfulness and anticipation.
Li Nianfan looked up to see Daji’s face that was as soft as a baby’s. Her cheeks were covered with a light powder while her lips were red and glowing. She had put on some makeup.
Recently, Li Nianfan had been feeling bored, so he made some items for the ladies and Daji surprisingly liked it!
When he used to live alone, he was not interested in these ladies’ items. But now that Daji lived with him, he thought he could make some items to spice things up a bit.
“How is it? Does it look nice?” Daji looked at Li Nianfan in anticipation.
Li Nianfan smiled and mocked, “Had your lipstick stayed behind the lines of your mouth, I’d give you full marks!”
Daji scoffed playfully, “This is my first time. I wasn’t able to control it… Of course, I went a little over the line…”
“Alright! Now, let me present you all with the new dish I invented!” Li Nianfan smiled as he took out the ice pop from the refrigerator. To prevent the ice pop from breaking, he took them out gently. He even made a mould for it to make them look more appealing.
The Holy Emperor gradually came to his senses. He asked, “Mr. Li, the dish you made is cold?”
He had eaten food for so many years, but he did not know food could be eaten cold!
“Hmm. It’s eaten cold to relieve the heat.” Li Nianfan nodded. “This refrigerator’s not bad at all. It can keep food fresh and even make ice pops!”
Refrigerator?
The Holy Emperor looked at the Ice-Crystal.
Duh? This was an item that could preserve one’s life. Of course, it could preserve food.
Perhaps only a Godly figure like Li Nianfan had the right to use the Ice-Crystal to make food.
Meanwhile, Li Nianfan distributed the ice pops to each of them.
When the Holy Emperor accepted the ice pop from him, he jolted with a look of surprise in his eyes. The ice pop had an ordinary appearance, a long rectangular shape. Its color was yellow, reflecting the sunlight. A faint fragrance exuded from the ice pop, arousing one’s desire.
A single look at this ice pop was able to make one feel more refreshed!
What a mysterious dish! It was merely ice, but it had the faint scent of a tangerine. It was probably food eaten by Immortals!
