Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

However, after the initial shock, Dumbledore still faithfully upheld the school rules he had previously announced, saying, "Is this all you've accomplished in the past week? Ye Feng, I won't ask about safety for now. Now, please tell me, what does this thing have to do with a flying broom?"

Ye Feng remained calm in the face of Dumbledore's question. He confidently pressed a button on the front of the futuristic single-person motorcycle, and the upper part of the vehicle opened to reveal two light rings hidden inside, which had been modified to control the magic array.

Dumbledore fell silent as he stared at the flying broom lying quietly inside the individual flying vehicle, but his eyes widened suddenly when he discovered that the magic circle on the flying broom had been modified and was quite perfect.

"You... modified the control magic of the flying broom?"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Ye Feng glanced at Dumbledore and said matter-of-factly, "The original control magic has nothing to do with this shell, so it naturally needs to be modified. However, facing this great 'invention' that is enough to overturn the magical world, Headmaster Dumbledore, your focus is actually here. It seems that you are indeed getting old."

After saying this, Ye Feng even sighed in a pretentious manner, which almost made Dumbledore unable to resist punching him. However, Ye Feng was right. This magic circle, coupled with its strange outer shell, did indeed have a fatal attraction for young wizards.

"The little guy has a good idea, but unfortunately you've overlooked one thing: many people in the magical world can't even afford a decent flying broom, so how could they possibly afford this new 'flying broom' that looks more expensive than a Nimbus by two thousand?"

Is the truth really as Dumbledore thought? It can only be said that the world is unpredictable, and even someone as experienced as Dumbledore couldn't read people's hearts.

In fact, things developed in the exact opposite way Dumbledore had imagined, because Ye Feng's 'Heavy Flying Broomstick' captured the hearts of most Hogwarts students as soon as it was unveiled, and with the help of these Hogwarts students, the entire wizarding world knew about it.

The reason this 'heavy-duty flying broom' became so popular is simple: it's safe and powerful.

Safety is its superior protection compared to traditional flying brooms. Even if you crash into the ground at full speed and roll around ten or twenty times while wearing a helmet, you can shake your head, get up, and continue flying.

As for violence, that's another 'side effect'.

Because of its solid construction, the 'Heavy Flying Broom' weighs a full 200 pounds. In addition, the outer shell is enchanted with a sturdiness spell. With its extreme speed and weight, you don't even need to use magic when facing enemies. Just charge straight at them. The powerful impact force can even kill an adult mountain monster in one hit.

Of course, that's all in the future. Now that he has modified his 'legal' flying broom, Ye Feng immediately put his mind on another matter. Since Christmas is coming soon, he needs to think about what gifts to prepare for his good friends Harry and the Zhang family.

"Why don't we just give this flying broom away? Anyway, I've already fully experimented with the manufacturing process and materials for it. If I want to make another one, I can do it in a day at most."

In the end, Ye Feng still didn't send out this first 'Heavy Flying Broom'. After all, it was the first-generation prototype. Although he was confident that there wouldn't be any problems, he wasn't sure if it would cause problems in other people's hands. So he decided to wait until he had tested it a few times to make sure there were no problems before making any further plans.

But then another problem arose: if he didn't give away the flying broomstick, he didn't seem to have anything else to give. First-year wizards weren't allowed to leave school to buy gifts, and online shopping hadn't been developed yet, so even if he had money, it wouldn't work.

"I'll just make it myself, but I need to find some materials before I can prepare the gift."

The best place to find materials is naturally the Forbidden Forest, after all, it is home to all kinds of magical animals, as well as many medicinal herbs with special energy. Unfortunately, Ye Feng cannot go there.

Of course, he could still go if he used the power of a cultivator, such as using a clone to attract Dumbledore's attention while his main body went to the Forbidden Forest invisibly. But he is a respectable cultivator, so it would be no fun to sneak around to get some materials in the Forbidden Forest.

Even if Ye Feng wanted to enter the Forbidden Forest, he had to do so legitimately. That way, when he later produced materials that only the Forbidden Forest produced, he could shut Dumbledore up and leave him speechless.

Since we can't directly enter the forbidden forest, there's only one way.

With that thought in mind, Ye Feng left Dumbledore's office and quietly ran to the Black Lake, taking out his yellow fishing rod.

As everyone knows, a fisherman can catch anything except fish, so Ye Feng, being a fisherman, also caught some magical materials that are only found in the Forbidden Forest from the river.

"Hey~"

As Ye Feng flicked his fishing rod, the unbaited hook flew out, dragging the fishing line with it. However, this time it was completely different from before, because the hook did not fall into the water but instead plunged into the void and disappeared.

As Ye Feng cast the fishing hook, his divine sense also attached itself to the fishing rod. Through the cast hook, he could see the area within half a meter of the hook, but because it was transmitted through the fishing rod and line, the vision was not very clear, somewhat like looking at the outside world through a glass window on a rainy day.

Although the view was limited and the scenery wasn't very clear, it was enough for Ye Feng. After all, he could find a use for anything he brought back from the Forbidden Forest, and if one attempt wasn't enough, he could try again.

With this mindset, Ye Feng controlled the fishing hook to keep moving through the forbidden forest. To Ye Feng's slight surprise, when he controlled the fishing hook to pass through a wooded area, it seemed to have hooked something, but Ye Feng could not observe anything nearby through the fishing hook.

"Forget it, let's reel it in first. Anyway, I can do this kind of 'snagging' a dozen more times today. Let's see if I catch anything first." Ye Feng muttered to himself as he controlled the fishing rod and reeled in the line. Only when the rod was reeled in did Ye Feng realize that his catch this time was actually quite substantial.

At that moment, a wisp of white hair was fluttering in the wind on the retrieved fishing hook, and Ye Feng knew what it was the instant he saw it.

"It's actually unicorn hair, and quite a lot of it. It should be enough to make a bracelet." With a laugh, Ye Feng picked up the strand of horse hair, which he didn't know whether the fishhook had caught while flying over a unicorn's habitat or while passing by a unicorn, and then cast the fishhook out again.

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"This...so much unicorn hair!"

As soon as Ye Feng cast the fishing hook, he saw a patch of silvery-white hair fluttering in the wind. Without thinking, Ye Feng immediately controlled the fishing hook to fly over.

At the same time, Dumbledore, who was reading in his office, frowned slightly, and then he felt something suddenly dart in front of him and wrap around his white beard.

Chapter 40 Dumbledore: Where's my beard?

Dumbledore: [?ヘ??]

Dumbledore's mind was instantly filled with questions when he felt something tangling his beard.

He's Dumbledore! With him around, even the Dark Lord of the wizarding world wouldn't dare easily invade Hogwarts. But now? Someone actually dares to provoke him! This is absolutely unacceptable…

"what!"

Before Dumbledore could finish his thought, he was interrupted by intense pain. He then watched helplessly as his long, snow-white beard flew away from him and disappeared into the void.

(╬◣д◢)

"Who is playing this prank?"

Feeling the stinging pain in his chin, Dumbledore, who hadn't been this angry in a long time, jumped to his feet. And sensing his master's anger, Fawkes the Phoenix also perked up instantly. Its sharp eyes stared intently at the surroundings, trying to find the one who had offended its master and burn it to ashes!

While Dumbledore was furiously wrestling with thin air with his wand, Ye Feng, sitting on the lakeshore, was deep in thought, looking at the 'white hair' in his hand that, while possessing considerable magic, was not unicorn hair and seemed somewhat familiar.

"Never mind, I'll put it away for now and figure out how to use it when I get back." Ye Feng muttered to himself as he cast his fishing rod again, but this time his luck wasn't so good. He only caught some useless things three or four times in a row.

Seeing that half a day had passed and he still hadn't found the materials he wanted, Ye Feng was getting a little anxious. So, after casting the fishing hook out again, Ye Feng poured all of his immortal power into it.

Almost instantly, Ye Feng poured all his immortal power into the field of vision and found that the range he could "see" had expanded more than ten times. His field of vision had increased from half a meter to a radius of seven or eight meters, and the clarity had also increased dramatically.

If the previous image quality was 360p, it is now at least 720p, which made Ye Feng overjoyed. When he saw a snow-white creature with a single horn lying on the ground, his eyes lit up.

"This is... a dead unicorn!"

The moment Ye Feng saw the unicorn lying on the ground, he was incredibly excited. This legendary animal, which represented holiness, was a treasure trove from head to toe. As for the unicorn's curse, Ye Feng could only say that compared to the curses in the cultivation system and the curses in witchcraft, it was not even a junior among junior curses.

Therefore, when Ye Feng saw the unicorn lying on the ground, still warm and not yet stiff, he did not hesitate at all. He directly controlled the fishing hook to fly out and tied up the unicorn. In order to avoid wasting it, he even 'fished' back all the soil that was stained with the unicorn's blood.

Of course, Hagrid knew all the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, and he cherished them very much, especially the unicorn, which represented holiness. So, the moment Ye Feng retrieved the unicorn, he put it into his spatial ring.

"Great, we have all the ingredients. Now we'll fish for some more food and then head back."

Hogwarts is closed for Christmas, since Christmas is like our New Year in the UK. Although Ye Feng's family is in China, he doesn't need to stay at school because he is currently staying at the home of his adoptive older sister, Zhang Qiu. Therefore, he needs to prepare gifts before going back home for the holidays.

Of course, before leaving, he planned to celebrate Christmas with Harry and the others in advance, so after catching all the materials for preparing Christmas gifts, Ye Feng did not leave but continued fishing by the Black Lake.

While Ye Feng was diligently fishing to prepare for tonight's sumptuous feast, Dumbledore used magic to replay the scene several times and finally figured out what had happened. However, he was a little hesitant to believe that it was true, because who would believe that someone would use a fishhook to fish away his beard?

"It's a bit unbelievable, but it's true. And I feel like the fishhook and fishing line look familiar. Could it be my imagination?"

With deep suspicion, Dumbledore went to Snape as quickly as possible, because only Snape had the best hair regrowth serum. After all, his most urgent task was not to find out who did it, but to repair the large patch of beard that was missing and seriously affecting his appearance.

A few minutes later, Dumbledore arrived at Snape's potions room, but in his haste, he didn't notice two furtive, astonished figures following him...

Σ(?д?lll)

When Snape saw Dumbledore striding into his potions room, he was startled, because he noticed that a large chunk of Dumbledore's usually neatly groomed, snow-white beard was missing from the middle.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, what is this...?"

Seeing the astonishment on Snape's face, Dumbledore didn't waste any words and directly told him about what had just happened, as well as his urgent need for hair growth serum.

When Snape heard that Dumbledore's beard had been 'plucked' from his office, his expression immediately turned serious. As Dumbledore's colleague, he had a certain understanding of Dumbledore's strength, but the fact that someone as powerful as Dumbledore had been ambushed in his office was a serious matter.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, could it be...that person who did it?"

Seeing Snape's mood instantly turn serious, Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. I didn't sense any malice from him, and that person's strength has been greatly reduced. From what I know of him, he doesn't have the strength to do that yet, so you don't need to worry."

"As for who did this, I have a guess, but you don't need to worry about it. I'll handle this."

Seeing that Dumbledore had said that, Snape had nothing more to say. However, he still perked up and secretly decided that he would have to pay more attention to Harry's safety in the future, after all, he was Lily's child.

When Dumbledore came out of Snape's potions room, his beard had grown back thick, but if you looked closely, you could still see the difference.

When Dumbledore emerged from Snape's Potions Room, his beard was noticeably longer and thicker than before, though this wasn't apparent unless one paid close attention.

Coincidentally, Ye Feng had carefully observed Dumbledore's beard, so when he returned from the Black Lake with a full load and greeted Dumbledore, his heart skipped a beat, because he suddenly knew what that tuft of 'white hair' lying in his spatial ring was.

"Gulu~"

"Looks like I've gotten into trouble again."

"No, as long as I pretend I don't know anything and destroy the evidence as soon as I get back, I can completely pretend that this never happened, since no one saw it anyway."

Thinking of this, Ye Feng pretended to be nonchalant and walked past Dumbledore toward the dormitory. Just as the two had walked about two meters apart and back to back, Ye Feng was already thinking about the safest way to destroy those 'evidence' when Dumbledore's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Mr. Ye, have you burned my beard to ashes and scattered it into Black Lake?"

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Chapter 41 Shrimp and Pig Heart

"Mr. Ye, have you burned my beard to ashes and scattered it into Black Lake?"

Dumbledore's words instantly froze Ye Feng, who thought he had escaped a disaster. When he turned around and saw Dumbledore looking at him with a "I knew it" look, Ye Feng couldn't help but swallow.

"Gulu~"

“Headmaster Dumbledore, I can deny it, I can explain.”

"You know, I'm still just an eleven-year-old. It's normal for an eleven-year-old to love to play, right? The only difference is that I like to play different things. I prefer fishing."

"As you know, when you're fishing, you can't see what's happening in the water from the shore, so I'm saying, I actually don't know how this works either. Do you... believe me?"

After Ye Feng finished speaking, Dumbledore didn't say anything but just looked at him quietly with a smile, which made Ye Feng feel a little uneasy.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, believe me! I really don't know how I caught your mustache. I thought it was a unicorn horn. I only lifted the rod when a fish took the bait. I really didn't know it was your mustache!"

“Headmaster Dumbledore, you know me. Although I often do things that are different from or even outrageous than other students, I still respect you. Even if I ‘occasionally’ disturb your rest, add chili peppers to your food, or put mustard on your favorite dessert, I am not a bad student.”

"It must have been Black Lake who did it!"

“That’s right, Headmaster Dumbledore, think about it, how could a first-year wizard like me possibly possess magic like Apparition? So it must be the monster in the Black Lake or something, that’s for sure!”

Black Lake: “￥#@&%…”

At this moment, Black Lake must feel very wronged. After all, although it is called Black Lake, the lake water is actually very clear and not black at all. But now a huge black pot has been put on it. If it cannot be cleared up, Black Lake will really become Black Lake.

Seeing Ye Feng trying his best to distance himself from the situation, Dumbledore suddenly smiled, because at that moment he suddenly realized something.

Previously, because Ye Feng's behavior and way of thinking were just like an adult, Dumbledore had once suspected that Ye Feng was an alias of an old monster who had taken over this young body using some kind of magic. But at this moment, Ye Feng's childish behavior and actions of shifting blame completely dispelled Dumbledore's idea.

Yes, Ye Feng's thoughts and actions were indeed different from those of other young wizards his age, but in reality, he was still a child at heart, only more mature than other children his age.

Having seen through this, Dumbledore wasn't angry at all, even though Ye Feng had somehow managed to pluck out a large tuft of his beard. He felt it was well worth exchanging that tuft of beard for such important information.
