Otherwise, how would he, the Jade Emperor, manage to get by in this Primordial Era world!
Chapter 2: Ugly Dog? No, the Kirin Ancestor!
In the courtyard.
Seeing that his son had finally called him 'Dad', Zhang Yifan was in a great mood.
Meanwhile, Taibai Jinxing, who had seen the Jade Emperor kneeling and calling a mortal 'Dad', and hadn't been able to help, was sweating profusely, fearing he'd end up on the Platform of Dismemberment. Ignoring who was in front of him, he just wanted to show his loyalty to his master and got up, ready to attack again.
"Woof woof woof!"
But just as he got up, Taibai Jinxing heard a dog barking and felt struck by lightning, his face turning pale as he knelt on the ground.
Looking at the big black dog running from the backyard, Taibai Jinxing was filled with shock and terror.
The moment that big black dog barked, it felt like a massive heavenly tribulation had struck his soul. His cultivation had dropped by at least a major realm. This was too terrifying, too dreadful.
The cultivation of this big black dog before him was unfathomable; he couldn't see through it at all!
Hearing the dog's barks, the Jade Emperor was also startled and saw the big black dog.
The instant he saw the big black dog, the Jade Emperor's heart churned like a stormy sea!
This was no big black dog at all; this was clearly the Kirin Ancestor, the progenitor of the Kirin tribe.
That's right, absolutely right, this was the Kirin Ancestor!
The first Kirin in the Primordial Era!
As a former attendant to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Jade Emperor was very familiar with the Kirin Ancestor!
What was going on?
The ancestor of the Kirin tribe, who had perished long ago during the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, had actually appeared here!
This, this, this!
"Ugly dog, why are you barking? Be careful I don't stew you in winter," Zhang Yifan said, glaring at his scruffy dog for barking incessantly.
"Whimper, whimper..."
The Kirin Ancestor, in his big black dog form, whimpered pitifully, wagging his tail and rubbing affectionately against Zhang Yifan's leg, begging with his eyes not to be slaughtered.
"Don't let it happen again. Guard the house properly."
"Woof woof woof~" The Kirin Ancestor barked a few times, happily jumping and spinning in circles, then went to lie down by the courtyard entrance.
Ah, this!
The Jade Emperor stared dumbfounded. The dignified Kirin Ancestor, a top-tier mighty being in the Primordial Era, an unparalleled prodigy, a prominent figure of an era, had fallen to such a state, reduced to a dog.
He even had to constantly curry favor with this mortal.
This...
Thinking about it, he was at least pretending to be someone's son, not a dog. It seemed... not bad?!
Bah, bah, bah!
The Jade Emperor banished this strange thought. What was he thinking?
"You servant, what were you trying to do just now?" Zhang Yifan glanced at Taibai Jinxing, who was kneeling beside them.
His son's attendant was nothing more than a servant!
"Servant, this servant begs for forgiveness, old master! I offended you just now, please forgive me." Taibai Jinxing immediately knelt on the ground, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He couldn't possibly say he wanted to kill him!
"Considering your loyalty to your master, I'll let you off this once." Zhang Yifan waved his hand.
"Thank you, Old Master!" Taibai Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief, glad to have escaped. I'm so clever! Taibai Jinxing secretly rejoiced.
"Alright, it's getting late, already noon. You've returned at just the right time. You two sit down first, I'll stir-fry a few dishes. We'll have a drink, father and son, and I'll hear about your twenty years of adventuring."
Zhang Yifan waved for the Jade Emperor and the other to make themselves comfortable and went to the kitchen to cook.
His son was back, and he was truly in a good mood.
In the courtyard, after Zhang Yifan entered the kitchen, the Jade Emperor's expression instantly turned solemn.
Taibai Jinxing immediately knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the floor.
"Regarding today's events, if a third person were to know..." The Jade Emperor's eyes were chillingly cold.
"This humble subject understands." Taibai Jinxing was so scared he was sweating profusely.
"Hmm, this old man is strange. Even the Kirin Ancestor is willing to be a dog here. This person must be a reclusive super-mighty being. We'll play along for now and see how things unfold before making further plans."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Strange? He was beyond strange.
Once inside the house, his cultivation disappeared, which was already terrifying.
The Kirin Ancestor being willing to be a dog was even more horrifying.
Not long after.
Zhang Yifan cooked several dishes and brought them to the table in the courtyard, along with a pot of good wine. He called the Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing to sit down.
The Kirin Ancestor, a big black dog, also wagged its tail and trotted over, squatting by the table with its eyes shining.
Seeing his son had also become a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, Zhang Yifan felt a bit emotional.
"Ah, my son is a middle-aged man now and can finally drink with his old man. Come, come, have a drink with your dad."
"Dad, how about you drink mine?"
Seeing the wine Zhang Yifan poured looked ordinary, the Jade Emperor felt that mortal wine was not worth his attention. He picked up the gourd at his waist and poured wine for Zhang Yifan.
"Oh? You don't like your old man's wine?"
"No, no, I just wanted you to try the Jade Nectar my son brought back for you."
Seeing the unfriendly look in Zhang Yifan's eyes, the Jade Emperor quickly made an excuse and poured him a bowl.
"Hahaha, Jade Nectar, you say? Fine, I'll try your Jade Nectar." Zhang Yifan smiled. Brewing was a skill he had mastered to the max level.
"Drink slowly, this wine is not only delicious, but also very potent."
The Jade Emperor was smug. Isn't that just Jade Nectar!
Today, I'll show you what kind of fine wine only the Heavenly Emperor can drink, both in heaven and on earth.
"Pfft!"
Zhang Yifan took a sip and spat it out.
"Ugh~" Zhang Yifan gagged, "You scoundrel, are you trying to anger me on purpose? This crap is called wine?"
"Ah?"
The Jade Emperor was stunned. No way, did I grab the wrong one?

Impossible.
The Jade Emperor picked up the gourd, poured himself a bowl, and took a sip.
It's right, this is Jade Nectar. It's the most respected in the Primordial Era, specially supplied to the Jade Emperor!
Why did the old man spit it out!
This isn't leftover soup.
What's going on?
Taibai Jinxing, standing nearby, secretly lamented. The Jade Emperor's wine was not something anyone could drink. Spitting it out was such a waste.
"Here, drink the wine brewed by your old man. This is what you call wine."
Zhang Yifan rolled his eyes, poured a bowl of his own brew, and placed it in front of the Jade Emperor.
"Fine, son will try dad's wine."
The Jade Emperor refused to believe it. In this Primordial Era, what wine could be better than his own?
"Gulp~"
He downed a large mouthful of wine. It was like a dragon of wine, carrying immense power, surging through his stomach and into his blood vessels and meridians, cleansing the Jade Emperor's body.
This monstrous energy almost overwhelmed the Jade Emperor, his face turning beet red.
But the wine's energy actually loosened the Jade Emperor's cultivation, which had been stuck at the mid-Quasi-Saint stage for hundreds of thousands of years, and he was on the verge of breaking through!
The Jade Emperor was ecstatic. His cultivation, which hadn't budged for hundreds of thousands of years, was about to break through just from a sip of wine?
No, this wine actually contains a large number of Great Dao Law Fragments. Places I didn't understand during my cultivation have suddenly become clear!
Great Dao Law Fragments?!
In the Primordial Era, there are only three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, never Great Dao Laws!
This is a supreme treasure that even Sages yearn for but cannot obtain!
It's a treasure that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would envy and fight over.
Who would have thought I'd get it by drinking wine in a humble farmhouse yard today!
This is too astonishing!
"Slow down, my son. My wine, your dad's wine, is very potent!"
Seeing the Jade Emperor's face flushed red, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but smile.
"Hahahaha, good wine! Excellent wine! Dad, your wine is the best wine in all the heavens and earth!"
The Jade Emperor laughed heartily, unable to help but praise him. Calling him "Dad" was becoming smoother and smoother.
Is this for real?
