Chapter 5, so handsome it nearly took my breath away

As soon as Li Changsheng stepped into the courtyard, he saw his second uncle, who was lazily reclining in a chair, his right hand propping up his chin, his eyes slightly closed, giving off an impression of being in a state between sleep and wakefulness

Before nightfall, Li Changsheng arrived at the Li family manor

The "Fairy Compendium" contains a wealth of information about fairies, and judging by the age of this book, it is nearly worn out from being handled by Li Changsheng

If one must use a metaphor to describe it, it is akin to the distinction between a nation-toppling beauty and a city-toppling beauty, which reflects a clear difference in levels

Of course, Li Changsheng would not reveal his special abilities to anyone, as they are the foundation of his existence and livelihood

Li Changsheng nodded slightly and stepped through the main door

Of course, what is referred to as 'bullying' is merely playful teasing done in good spirit

As the golden crow descends in the west, only the sky remains clear and serene, with the crimson hue reflecting outward, gradually transforming into orange-yellow, appearing and disappearing, tinting half the sky red

However, in Li Changsheng's view, Li Haoqiong's 'evil deeds' are truly too numerous to be recorded

Li Haokong's eyes became increasingly sharp, and his observational skills were remarkable; with just a few glances, he noticed Aishi's extraordinary qualities

In Li Changsheng's impression, his second uncle was lazy, fond of taking advantage of others, and lacked the demeanor of an elder. Perhaps it was because Li Changsheng displayed a charm and handsomeness far beyond his uncle's from a young age, which led Li Haoqiong to often use the pretext of 'education' to 'bully' the young Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng washed his face, stood in front of the mirror, and gazed at his flawless visage reflected back at him. He was momentarily stunned, immersed in the sight of that 360° perfect and unblemished handsome face, and for a moment, his breath nearly ceased.

On either side of the wide crimson gate, four servants stood in two rows, striving to maintain an upright posture. They were tall and robust, wielding long staffs, exuding a considerable presence

Within the waterside pavilion, various types of extraordinary stones are scattered about, some crystal clear and glistening like ice crystals, their clarity illuminating the features; others lush and verdant, their green shadows casting reflections akin to jade; some resemble dragons coiling and tigers crouching, while others take the form of ancient pines, alongside colorful phoenixes soaring and dark dragons spitting pearls, their natural patterns intricately woven into a delicate tableau

Upon entering the manor, one immediately sees the slanting shadows of the pines, the pavilions and waterside structures, the sound of flowing water gushing, reflecting the dim lights. The branches of the trees are lush and intertwined, casting magnificent shadows that sway on the water's surface

As soon as they saw Li Changsheng, several family attendants hurriedly bowed respectfully. The Li family values propriety; even though Li Changsheng's parents had passed away and his status within the clan was not high, he was still the master and, moreover, a demon master. How could he be someone that the attendants and servants could bully

Now back at home, it is inevitable to feel relaxed in my mindset, and I cannot help but feel fatigued, longing for a deep sleep

The Li Family Manor is oriented north to south, with a pair of imposing stone lions standing at the entrance, each two zhang tall. Lanterns on either side of the main gate cast a warm, yellow glow that dances and sways with the wind.

... ...

Oh, it looks quite good. No wonder you would look down on the 'garbage' provided by your family and risk going out into the wild alone! By the way, what quality of fairy is it?

However, Li Changsheng did not sleep; instead, he closed his eyes to rest for a while before forcing himself to open his eyes with renewed spirit

It seemed that he heard some noise, and Li Haoqiong opened his eyes, stretching lazily with a sleepy expression. While observing Li Changsheng, he was more focused on Aishi, whom he held in his arms.

In Li Haoqiong's view, Li Changsheng's ability to contract a high-quality fairy is undoubtedly related to luck, and naturally, he has no extraneous thoughts.

His second uncle, named Li Haoqiong, is handsome in appearance, dressed in a black long gown that accentuates his skin like jade. He has three long strands of beard beneath his chin, and his long hair is carelessly draped over his shoulders, exuding a certain wild and unrestrained demeanor.

Soon, Li Changsheng arrived at a small courtyard located in the northeast corner, which was also his usual residence

However, Li Changsheng did not immediately search for information on the golden-eyed white-browed tiger. Instead, he pinched the thick cover with two fingers and lightly flicked the cover a few times with his other hand. Soon, a gap appeared in the thick cover, and a faint glimpse of gold could be seen from the cover's inner layer.

Li Haoqiong stared wide-eyed, unable to maintain his composure any longer. He never expected that after just a few days of being away, Li Changsheng would return with a high-quality spirit beast, specifically a fierce type known as the Hanging-eyed White-browed Tiger

However, he ultimately is well-informed and experienced, quickly suppressing his expression of surprise, and said with admiration: "Good, good, good! No wonder you are the nephew of Li Haoqiong, you truly have the demeanor of your second uncle in his prime!"

The small courtyard is not large; upon entering, one encounters a winding corridor. The cobblestones at the steps spread out to form a pathway, while the outer walls are protected by whitewashed walls, adorned with clusters of flowers and lush greenery, adding a touch of color.

After chatting casually with his second uncle for a few moments, Li Changsheng arrived at his room, casually tossed his bag aside, and lay down on the bed, not wanting to move.

After attending to his personal hygiene, Li Changsheng released a bit of his mental energy. Once he confirmed that no one was watching, he took a thick book from the nearby bookshelf

Noble!

Young Master Changsheng, you have returned!

Li Changsheng did not conceal anything, nor was there any need to conceal it. Aishi is his destined demon pet, and no one could possibly take it away from him. Moreover, Li Haoqiong has watched him grow up, and the two share a good relationship

The efforts of several generations have led to the flourishing of the Li family, with hundreds of clansmen and countless servants and attendants, making it one of the most powerful forces in Luocheng

This is entirely the instinct of a beast

Damn, this is simply a constant charm spell; he feels as if he is about to be bent out of shape!

The thrills and hardships within are naturally beyond the understanding of outsiders

Uncle Er is bragging again! Li Changsheng pouted, feeling powerless to complain. He had heard many times about Li Haoqiong's glorious achievements from back in the day, such as when Li Haoqiong accidentally stepped on a newly hatched little snake when he first started out, only to discover later, after signing the contract, that it was a high-quality spirit beast.

To tame a magical pet, one must first achieve understanding. In addition to memorizing the basic information of the magical pet, it is also essential to be clear about the skills it can master as well as its strengths and weaknesses

After a long time, Li Changsheng, utilizing his resilient will, reluctantly shifted his gaze and began to breathe in fresh air deeply.

For some unknown reason, when being watched by Li Haoqiong, the originally lively and active Aishi suddenly fell silent and even shrank into Li Changsheng's embrace

The Li family manor appears to cover over a thousand acres, but if distributed evenly, it is not particularly large

In recent days, Li Changsheng has been constantly walking on the edge of danger, whether during the day or at night, his entire being has been in a state of tension, naturally resulting in inadequate rest

Listen, what kind of talk is this

Ah, Changsheng has returned!

Noble!

In terms of appearance, his second uncle is indeed quite striking. In his youth, he was the dream lover of the women in Luocheng, but compared to Li Changsheng, he is still somewhat inferior.

High-quality fairies are extremely rare; even with the resources of the Li family, there are no more than a handful, and Li Haoqiong is one of them
