Chapter 181: People Who Don’t Belong Together, Will Not Live Together

Regarding the Immemorial Immortal, Lu Yang only knew of his revered title, with everything else about him shrouded in mystery. However, Lu Yang could still infer some information.

Just as the Everlasting Fairy uses “Everlasting” as a prefix, indicating immortality as her trait, it could be deduced that the Immemorial Immortal’s trait is related to the distant past or time.REaad updated stories at n/o/vel/bin(.)com

The technique taught to the Everlasting Fairy by the Immemorial Immortal, and then passed on to himself, is akin to receiving favors from two immortals, enough to prove the power of this technique!

Moreover, time-related techniques are among the rarest of all techniques, even rarer than those related to space, causality, and other concepts.

“Why did the Immemorial Immortal teach you this technique?” Lu Yang wondered if perhaps the fairy had poisoned the Immemorial Immortal into a delirious state and tricked it out of him?

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

The Everlasting Fairy feigned anger: “What are you saying? With my personal charm, isn’t it normal for the Immemorial Immortal to beg me to learn the technique?”

So, he was poisoned into stupidity.

“What really happened?”

“One time, I complained to the Immemorial Immortal that I had gone to the trouble of preparing a lot of nutritious food and invited you all over, but you didn’t come, wasting the food. I asked if he could teach me a technique that would let me know in advance whether you would come or not, so I could prepare accordingly.”

“The Immemorial Immortal seemed reluctant, I guessed he thought that if I learned this technique, he’d be out of a job, which is understandable.”

“Seeing him in a dilemma, I didn’t press him to teach me.”

“And then?”

“You know I’m a gentle, considerate, generous, and appropriate fairy,” said the Everlasting Fairy, using adjectives that hardly seemed relevant to her.

“At the time, I considerately said, ‘You’re managing so many planets, it’s understandable if you’re too busy to come over for meals.’”

“So, I reluctantly offered door-to-door service, preparing meals and delivering them to your tables. That way, the food I made wouldn’t go to waste, and you’d save time.”

“The Immemorial Immortal probably felt my time was too valuable to be spent on these trivial matters, and immediately offered to teach me ‘foreseeing the future,’ so I could predict who would come and who wouldn’t.”

“I said the technique sounded difficult, and I’d rather not learn it, preferring to continue delivering food. The Immemorial Immortal enthusiastically said the technique was very simple and easy to learn.”

“Seeing the Immemorial Immortal’s enthusiasm, I reluctantly learned it.”

“Did you learn it?”

The Everlasting Fairy nodded with a proud expression: “Who do you think I am? I am the Everlasting Fairy! There’s no reason for me not to learn it! I can predict events three days in advance, without any errors!”

Lu Yang was sincerely impressed; being able to know events three days in advance was truly worthy of one of the ancient five immortals.

“Let me demonstrate for you!”

“My weather forecasts have never been wrong!”

“So, you’re teaching me to forecast the weather?” Lu Yang’s eyes twitched, retracting his initial thoughts.

This golden finger indeed wasn’t very useful.

“What I’ve learned is the highest realm of foreseeing the future, predicting the weather. Your talent for techniques is good, but it still falls short compared to mine. Besides, you’re only at the Foundation Building stage. How could you learn to the extent I have?”

Lu Yang didn’t quite understand where the Everlasting Fairy’s pride was coming from.

“So, you’re actually teaching me the normal way of foreseeing the future, but you yourself ended up with weather forecasting?”

“Right.”

Lu Yang felt this was probably what “People who don’t belong together, will not live together ” meant.

As his Nascent Soul, it was normal for the Everlasting Fairy to share some similarities with him.

“Will you learn?”

“Yes!”

“Since you’re going to learn, you must start from the very basics of the ancient language. The gap between the ancient language and the current language is vast. You won’t learn it immediately. To see quick results, you just need to learn the ancient words used when casting the foresight technique.”

The Everlasting Fairy paused and then repeated the ancient words she had just said.

“What does that mean?” Lu Yang was curious.

The Everlasting Fairy translated, “What I just said was, ‘Spirit of heaven and earth, Immemorial Immortal you wretched turtle grandson, show your spirit!’”

Lu Yang instinctively stepped back two paces, fearing that Immemorial Immortal would descend and pinch him to death with one finger.

Lu Yang felt that learning techniques from the Everlasting Fairy didn’t even ensure basic survival. Eldest Senior Sister was more reliable.

“Repeat after me.”

“Hmm, just to be safe, I have to ask, is it necessary to say ‘wretched turtle grandson’?”

“That’s not necessary. It’s just a modal particle; it can be included or omitted.”

(TL Note: In linguistics, modal particles are always uninflected words, and are a type of grammatical particle. They are used to indicate how the speaker thinks that the content of the sentence relates to the participants’ common knowledge or to add emotion to the meaning of the sentence.)
