The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 814: The Majesty of the Orange Cat

Before the Thunder Method boomed across the woodland, purple lightning twined through the dense jungle, roaming across the barren land. The sounds, much fiercer than fireworks, were incessant, with dust billowing and robust trees periodically collapsing in a mess.

Although Huan Ling Ji and Dian Chunqiu both advised Li Qing to use the Thunder Method sparingly, when facing evil spirits, it seemed the only effective method Li Qing could think of, and he was most adept at using it.

However, Li Qing didn’t dare to completely disregard their words and tried to restrain himself.

He no longer used it recklessly as before, grabbing any chance to bombastically attack.

While using it, Li Qing also worried what he would use to deal with these creatures if he stopped using this method. Moreover, it seemed he had far more encounters with these beings than with people.

This was quite troublesome.

If he didn’t use it, he had no other tricks, but if he did, the words of Dian Chunqiu and Huan Ling Ji always made him feel uneasy.

It looked like he would need to find a way to resolve this issue later.

The mighty thunder stopped, and chaos was all that met the eye.

The barren grassland was covered with traces of lightning, dense and intricate, resembling blood vessel patterns on a human body.

"Qingzi, that thunder of yours... so cool!" Qin Wenjun said to Li Qing with admiration, her eyes sparkling brightly.

"Aren’t you aware?" Li Qing replied with a surprised smile, "Don’t tease me like that, it’ll inflate my vanity!"

"How would I know!" Qin Wenjun pouted, "I just realized after seeing you today and thinking back to when you split that tree. Who could have guessed you could even summon thunder and lightning like this? This is the legendary Thunder Method, right?"

Li Qing nodded, "This indeed is the Thunder Method."

"Can I learn it?" Qin Wenjun asked excitedly, her eyes intensely bright, "It’s so cool!"

"This one... you probably can’t learn, but you can learn other Thunder Methods." Li Qing said seriously, "There are many kinds of Thunder Methods. It’s complicated to explain right now, but in short, it’s quite difficult."

"What am I afraid of if it’s difficult? If you can learn it, so can I," Qin Wenjun huffed, "I don’t care, I want to learn this one. The one where you just stand here, move your lips, and the Heavenly Thunder descends from the sky." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"If you want to learn this, it would need Heaven’s approval, without its consent, you can’t learn it," Li Qing said with a mysterious smile, "Later I’ll find a suitable Thunder Method for you. Learning this depends on one’s physique, it’s not something you can learn just because you want to."

Qin Wenjun looked up at the clear blue sky overhead, asking in a slightly odd tone, "Are you fooling me?"

"Why would I fool you? Remember to keep it secret!" Li Qing winked and said with a smile, "Stay here for a while, I am going to check if these little bastards are all dead."

"Oh..." Qin Wenjun replied softly, incredulously looking up at the sky again.

Needing Heaven’s approval?

How would it approve?!

Li Qing’s formidable Divine Sense swept through the surrounding land like a radar, focusing mainly underground.

These cunning little rats were indeed wiped out, but at the same time, Li Qing also uncovered a secret that infuriated him enormously.

No wonder he had felt something was off about this place from the start.

This place was not only off, but it was also deeply sinister.

The surface of this hillside looked ordinary and seemed no different from the surrounding hillsides.

But underground, it was rather complex.

Within the reach of his Divine Sense, Li Qing saw a crude little house completely submerged underground, numerous dense rat nests, and a layer of stark white bones under those nests.

It was hard to tell exactly how many bones there were, but at first glance, the quantity was extremely vast.

"With these ghastly things, no wonder Long Eyebrow True Person was so stern in decreeing their annihilation, they should not exist in this world!" Li Qing said grimly, his face filled with murderous intent. Humanity had become food for rats, how horrifying!

"Da Huang, is there any way to get these underground things out?" Li Qing shouted to Da Huang, who was scratching his paws with a stick in the distance.

It seemed that he had just killed a mouse, and it disgusted him as well, as he had been grinding that melon-sized thing for a while.

Da Huang kicked the tree trunk with his hind legs and darted to Li Qing’s side like a yellow arrow, meowing reluctantly.

"I’ll arrange a big fish and meat feast for you when we get home!" Li Qing said.

"How deep is it?" Da Huang asked, rolling his eyes like a dead fish.

Considering that a cat could produce such a dead fish gaze, one could imagine how much he was resisting at that moment.

Li Qing estimated the distance roughly and said, "It’s not that deep, just about ten meters or so."

"How much?!" The orange cat nearly screeched, "Are you trying to kill me? Ten meters, master!"

"You can smash a boulder to dust with one swipe of your paw; it’s just digging some dirt, not a difficult task, right?" Li Qing smiled. "I’ll give you big fish and meat in every meal from now on, does that work for you?"

"My ignorant master, I am a cat, not a dog!" the orange cat meowed incredulously, "Have you ever seen a cat dig like a dog? For a depth of ten meters, I advise you to find someone else to do this, or, I can bring you a few dogs!"

"Just the other day, I was bragging about you in front of Jing Yan; since this is the case, I won’t force it," Li Qing said with a light smile.

The orange cat meowed deeply, "...fine, I’ll do it. But this time only; don’t you dare try to blackmail me into doing this kind of dirty work next time. I think it’s necessary to remind you, my ignorant master, I don’t mind hard work, but dirty work—absolutely not!"

Li Qing smiled warmly, "Don’t worry, there won’t be a next time. I’m a man of my word."

The orange cat sagged its cheeks, clearly not very convinced by Li Qing’s words.

"Where do I start digging? Speak!" the orange cat demanded.

Li Qing walked a few steps forward and stomped heavily on the ground, "Just straight down from here."

The orange cat suddenly stood upright, swung its front paws forward vigorously, revealing its diamond-hard claws.

It took a deep breath, just as it was about to start, but then suddenly stopped, rushed to Qin Wenjun’s front, and meowed.

Qin Wenjun looked at the cat with eyes full of stars and a face trying to please, and turned to Li Qing confusedly, "Qingzi, what does Da Huang mean by this?"

Li Qing pinched the bridge of his nose with an exasperated expression, "It... It wants to borrow the cover of your car’s headlight."
