The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl-Chapter 499 - : Nuannuan Extra Story_2
Chapter 499: Nuannuan Extra Story_2
Afterwards, the Emperor abdicated the throne to fifteen-year-old Crown Prince Zhou Yi, and merrily followed us into the Divine Mansion.
Accompanying him were several dozen Imperial Guards and palace maids, as well as several dozen villagers.
My mother wanted to plant Spiritual Rice and Spiritual Wheat in the Divine Mansion and needed lots of help, so she chose a group that knew about farming and opened their meridians.
Of course, after three years, my mother will send them out to reunite with their families, rewarding them with some overseas produce.
Today is the day for us to picnic by the sea again. Brother Wuhui and I, along with other brothers and sisters, take a boat out to sea to fish.
First, we put down the shrimp cage that my mother gave us, then sprinkle some special shrimp-attracting powder. After waiting quietly for a while, many lobsters swim over.
Wuhui and Jiang Qi were ecstatic, they suppressed their delight and waited for an hour before they started fishing the cages.
Wow! Each shrimp cage contained several large lobsters. We only picked those larger than five feet, and those below standard were thrown back into the sea.
Brother Wuyang, with a lower cultivation base and a reserved demeanor, helped us cook the lobsters and oysters ashore.
In fact, it was the guards who did the work, with him leading from the side.
Uncle Jiang Wu along with Uncle Jiang Hu went to catch sea fish. Once, they encountered an octopus larger than a house, which wrapped their fishing boat all at once. If it weren’t for father, they all would have been dragged to the bottom of the sea.
Such vacations occur once a month. My mother took us to play all over the world, but as soon as the three-year term arrives, those who were due to return started crying, asking to stay in the Divine Mansion.
However, these people were all part of the Imperial Army, and Mother couldn’t keep them without authorization. Besides, there were still many people waiting in line to enter.
Brother Wuyang was the same. He had to return and let his father, the emperor, enter.
On the day he was leaving, Brother Wuyang put the storage bag that my mother had given him into his embrace and took out many pearls to offer me.
He looked at me and said, “Nuannuan, these are what I’ve found by opening clamshells all these three years, all for you.”
Each of these pearls was the size of a thumb, colorful, and very beautiful.
I was just going to accept them, but Brother Wuhui took them. He bared his teeth and laughed saying, “Thank you, your highness, I really like them.”
Then, he took out lots of strange shells and stuffed them into Brother Wuyang’s arms, “Here are the shells Nuannuan and I found, take these back and give them to the empresses and princes to look at.”
Brother Wuyang’s face fell, but he still accepted the shells.
His back when he left was full of sorrow, and Brother Wuhui’s face didn’t look good either.
I was puzzled and could not understand why. Could it be… they have some unspeakable emotions between them?
Afterwards, my mother brought many more people into the Divine Mansion, including Grandpa clan leader and his family, along with Master and his family.
When we were on vacation again, we found out that we had entered a strange world. It was very similar to our own, but also differed.
At the market here, bizarre looking creatures were being sold. There were those with rabbit ears, a lamb with a human body, and those whose heads were full of leaves.
My mother said that they were all supernatural beings that human cultivators had captured for food.
I saw an adorable little child with a pair of small horns on his head, crying in the corner of the cage.
“Mother, they look so pitiful, let’s buy them,” I said. They were clearly in human form and being treated as ingredients felt really cruel.
In the end, my mother bought all the supernatural beings from the market. Some were set free in the forest, others were taken into the cave mansion.
Those who were taken into the cave mansion were asked by my mother to sign a contract with us, prohibiting them from walking around otherwise.
So, all the children in the mansion obtained a cute pet.
My pet was that little supernatural being with horns on his head. My mother said he was a hundred-year-old Green Jiao in his youth. When he reaches five hundred years of age, he will be able to ride the fog and would serve as a decent mount.
Touching the head of the little child that barely reached my knees, I told him, “From now on, you will be called Xiaoqing.” I pointed at the white bird in Brother Wuhui’s hand and said, “It’s Xiao Bai. You two should get along well.”
Later, I found out that on the surface, they might be living harmoniously, but they were actually sworn enemies.
As soon as Brother Wuhui and I turned our backs, the two of them would start to fight. Xiaoqing’s head would get hurt, and there were white feathers sticking out of the corners of his mouth. Xiao Bai’s feathers would be plucked, and there would be a piece of scale on its claw.
I was very puzzled, so I asked them.
The two of them hummed and hawed and gave me the general idea: it turns out that these two races have always been arch-nemesis, and there are often battles between them.
