I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 248 - 140: Tiny is Also Cute

The lights flickered inside the funeral shop that never closed day and night.

Huang Xiaoliu seemed to be under a body fixation technique, standing still in the shop.

In front of it, a black cat was pacing back and forth.

Xu Qing looked at the trembling little yellow weasel who kept throwing pleading glances at him and chose to ignore it.

In the future, they would inevitably be under the same roof, so for now, he treated it as advanced desensitization training.

"Is this the newly hired scout?"

Xuan Yu stopped his pacing and looked at Xu Qing.

"Is the Hall Master dissatisfied?"

Upon hearing Xu Qing call him Hall Master in the presence of Huang Xiaoliu, the black cat’s ears twitched. As a deity of the Cat Immortal Hall, it was the first time it had heard this title.

Xuan Yu glanced at Huang Xiaoliu and slightly critiqued, "A bit dull, looks not very smart."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoliu almost cried out loud. Which weasel dares to move recklessly when they see a cat?

Fortunately, Xuan Yu did not complain much, as the hall was short-handed, a running scout was better than none.

At this moment, Huang Xiaoliu had just seen Xuan Yu jump onto the counter and had not yet let out a sigh of relief when a majestic rooster strutted in from the backyard.

Weasels and chickens have always been at odds. Upon seeing each other, the Golden Chicken flapped its wings and charged at it.

Xu Qing’s eyebrows twitched. This Golden Simurgh could never stay peaceful!

On the counter, Xuan Yu had a belly full of words ready to speak to Xu Qing but was interrupted by the insensible rooster before he could start.

This is something a mouse can tolerate but not a cat!

With a few swipes, the Golden Simurgh retreated whining back to the chicken coop in the backyard.

Huang Xiaoliu clasped his hands together and repeatedly bowed in thanks to Xuan Yu.

Xu Qing watched with amusement. With just a small gesture by Xuan Yu, the new employee was completely subdued.

Returning to the counter, Xuan Yu, who had just beaten up the rooster, sat gracefully as if nothing had happened, habitually wrapping his tail around his little feet.

Like a young lady from an aristocratic family who had specifically learned manners and etiquette, with perfect control.

Xuan Yu stared at Xu Qing on the counter without blinking.

Until a certain moment, he finally couldn’t resist asking, "Xu Immortal Family, I heard from the rooster that you have set up a circle hall outside with a steward who is a big tiger?"

As Xuan Yu spoke, his tail wrapped around his little feet moved unconsciously.

Xu Qing nodded, "That big tiger has a good disposition. Our Cat Immortal Hall is in need of manpower. In a few years, Xuan Yu might face a tribulation in his cultivation, so having more circle halls will gather more incense. This way, when facing the tribulation later, Xuan Yu can handle it more easily."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yu’s tail stopped moving immediately.

"Is that so? Then I also need to manage the hall well so that the Xu Immortal Family can have enough incense during tribulations."

Xu Qing smiled, "The days ahead are still long. Xuan Yu Immortal Family doesn’t need to work too hard. Just like before, let’s maintain our routine." frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Uh..."

Xuan Yu’s once paused tail began to sway slightly again, suddenly asked, "Is that big tiger powerful?"

Xu Qing shook his head, "It has been in contact with the incense since young due to its godmother. Its cultivation is no more than decades. Later, its temple became dilapidated, and the incense was scant. Sometimes, even transforming into human form requires careful consideration."

"Moreover, people say that cats are the masters of tigers. Xuan Yu Immortal Family has never relied on the power of incense. Its cultivation is genuinely earned, so clearly Xuan Yu is more powerful."

Some deities rely solely on incense. The ability of Guan Dazhuang to transform and the various magic performed by the Mountain Monarch during manifestations are all born from incense. Once the temple walls collapse and the incense is exhausted, the magical power gained would dissipate.

Thus, Xu Qing never saw incense as a form of cultivation, but rather as a consumable. Even if it’s used to weaken tribulations or fund the hall, it’s a worldly leftover product and not the foundation of their existence.

When hearing Xu Qing’s praise, the tip of Xuan Yu’s tail stopped moving again.

He listened attentively to Xu Qing’s praise, fearing missing a word.

"So Xuan Yu Immortal Family only needs to focus on personal cultivation in the future, no need to specifically divert efforts to gather incense."

Xuan Yu pondered for a moment but did not choose to listen to Xu Qing’s advice.

"No, I want to gather incense, and gather a lot..."

Xu Qing was taken aback, just about to speak when the cat in front of him said, "Xu Immortal Family is also about to face a cultivation tribulation. Only by gathering enough incense can we help reduce the severity of the tribulation."

"..."

Xu Qing let out a silent laugh.

"Alright, let’s gather a lot."

While speaking, Xu Qing suddenly thought of something. His eyes brightened as he looked at Xuan Yu and said, "When I was in the circle hall, I learned the method of transforming incense from the big tiger. Does Xuan Yu want to learn?"

"Hmm?"

Feeling Xu Qing’s gaze, Xuan Yu’s cat ears, already standing upright, seemed to rise even higher.

"Does transforming incense require incense?"

"It requires some."

"How much is some?"

Recalling the density of incense when Guan Dazhuang transformed, Xu Qing replied, "About this much."

With a wave of his palm, Xu Qing extracted a ball of incense from the Dharma Realm of the Cat Immortal Hall.

"Too much!"

Xu Qing blinked and said, "Xuan Yu can wait until the incense is abundant before transforming. I can first teach the method of transforming incense to Xuan Yu Immortal Family..."
