Chapter 43: Human Cultivators

Fu Li, Zhang Ke, and Song Yu got their tickets checked and then waited in line to board the train. Song Yu looked at the long and large metal vehicle with plenty of confusion. Clearly, they could directly fly to their destination, so why did they still need to ride this so-called fastest train in the human world?

Zhang Ke's luggage was in his left hand, while his right hand held onto a large bag of food. The things on the train were expensive and not tasty; buying his own snacks would allow him to save a bit more money.

After boarding the train, the three of them sat down in their respective seats. Zhang Ke noticed that the woman in the seat adjacent to his was with a child and helped her to place her luggage onto the luggage rack. Upon turning back, he saw Song Yu take out a bag of pickled pepper chicken feet to gnaw on. Even the bones were not spat out.

"Eh?" All of a sudden, Fu Li sat up straight, his expression turning somewhat odd.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ke saw the change in Fu Li's expression and thought that some great yao had appeared. His entire body stretched taut from the fright and he repeatedly turned his head to look around their surroundings.

"I feel the force of faith," As a yao cultivator, it was his first time feeling such a thing. Although the force of faith was very weak, he had never once received offerings from humans or yao, which made him very sensitive to it.

"Force of faith?" Song Yu's expression didn't change. "What about it?" As a great yao who had the potential from birth to bring terror to humans, humans would make offerings to him every year to keep him away from them. Although this way of doing things was similar to 'preventing disaster through financial loss', he could still be considered to have received offerings from humans, so such a thing was not at all rare for him. "There's no practical usefulness to this sort of thing. What decent yao cultivator would care about it?"

At this point, he shot a glance at Fu Li. "For an ordinary yao cultivator like you, it is indeed a rarity for someone to have faith in you." After finishing this statement, he didn't forget to lower his head and give the chicken feet a few more nibbles.

At the side, Zhang Ke curled his lips. So what if he was a great yao? Wasn't he also scared witless by Fu ge?

Song Yu had evidently also thought of this, because he instantly corrected his attitude. "As expected of Boss, just your graceful bearing is enough to induce respect in humans."

Zhang Ke, "..."

These ancient great yao seriously had innate boot-licking skills.

"Fu ge, what did you do?" In the current ideological climate of materialism, it was truly an extremely rare occurrence for someone to sincerely believe in another.

"I didn't do much recently," Fu Li thought carefully. "All I did was help a little girl to find her real body a few days ago. She suffered a fright and lost her soul. I got the police to bring her a Peace String yesterday."

"Peace String?" Zhang Ke asked. "Is it the one that ensures a child's safety?"

"En. I've enhanced it with my magic to protect the child from losing her soul again from shock. The bodies of ordinary people can't bear such a thing happening too many times," Fu Li's spoke as if it was as simple as eating and drinking, but to an ordinary family, he was no different from a lifesaver.

Below the floor Fu Li used to stay on, Miao Miao very seriously paid her respects to the red string before letting the landlady tie it around her wrist.

"Miao Miao. Remember, you must not remove this string," The landlady clutched Miao Miao's shoulders, an unprecedented solemnity to her voice. "Since you have accepted this favor, we must not forget it. Whether or not you meet this big brother in the future, you must not forget the lifesaving grace he extended to you. Understand?"
