Trees Die When Moved, People Thrive When Moved

The fish scattered and fled in all directions.

Round Head, he navigated through the school of fish, meticulously counting the snake tracks, his eyes filled with worry.

At least three, most likely four, Snake Demon Water Beast of the same level as the Ink Scale Great Snake!

The scattered fish regrouped, but the River Dolphin became restless, swimming up and down and disrupting their orderly ranks.

They finally understood why the neighboring group had disappeared without a word.

The former leader rushed forward, shouting in panic, signaling the new leader to leave as soon as possible.

The Round Head- headed fish waved its fins to calm its subordinates. It first led the group to a hidden location, and then contacted the gods to see what would happen next.

The Lotus Leaf swayed in the breeze.

Bottom of the pond.

Liang Qu, who had been tempering his will and refining his true energy, opened his eyes with a furrowed brow.

Round Head is always clever, the brains of the Water Beast team, and the probability of him making a mistake is extremely small.

That is to say, a four-headed Snake Demon, and Great Monster Spirit...

Liang Qu sighed.

What's meant to happen will happen.

Transforming into White Ape and killing a Snake Demon wouldn't have been a big deal, but then I gained a little more favor points...

The four-headed Snake Demon was far too much for one person to handle alone.

If one end is manageable, then coordinating two ends will inevitably lead to difficulties, let alone four ends.

Unless the Snake Demon come one by one, it's best to Cannot Move and the "Divine Wood Revival" has been restored.

Too idealistic.

I dare not have such a dream.

Fortunately, things weren't beyond repair; at least the Flood Dragon didn't come, only its subordinates were dispatched.

Besides, delivering them one by one is unrealistic. Liang Qu can choose to steal them one by one when the opportunity arises! A tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives. At worst, we can temporarily find another pond! If the Huai River doesn't work, there's Yellow Sand River Yellow Sand River doesn't work, we can turn around and flow into the sea!

The plan was finalized.

"Round Head, if we can't find the wild group, that's fine. The most urgent thing is to go to the Shallow Water Area to find out the situation in Fragrant Township County and see if those big snakes make any moves or cause any trouble..."

If you accidentally run into them, quickly reveal your identity as a pig from the River Conservancy Office; the Snake Demon will know what's good for her.

Liang Qu issued several orders in succession, and even devised a way to save Round Head's life.

The River Dolphin raised in the River Conservancy Office are world-renowned.

The Snake Demon is intelligent and can speak human language. It has difficulty reproducing itself, so it must be aware of the value of its "breeding pigs".

Fragrant Township County.

Round Head received the order and faithfully carried it out, leading his underlings to continue their activities in enemy-occupied territory.

Unfortunately, the wild finless River Dolphin were unruly and increasingly panicked, their formation becoming chaotic. The former leader was particularly active, seemingly intent on leading the Clan Pig to escape.

Even the Round Head's ability to evoke Tribe Resonance couldn't soothe emotions.

The River Dolphin finless porpoise is not an ingrate.

Loyal, strong, sociable, and intelligent, with numerous advantages, and often fighting to the last man, these qualities are what make Da Shun take notice and select them for training.

However, the Round Head managed to subdue the pigs with force, but after only one day, he failed to solidify their bond and sent them back to Pingyang, only to abandon them and die.

"A time of great turmoil."

Upon learning of the Flood Dragon's actions, Liang Qu lost interest in cultivation. He parted the lotus stems, rose from the pond, and the Dragon Spirit Silk naturally dried out.

The Old Turtle stretched its neck. "Young man, what kind of breathing technique do you practice? Stay underwater for a full two hours!"

Liang Qu made up a story off the top of his head. "Water Breathing method."

"Water Breathing?"

Wu Cangshou Nahan had traveled all over the country and had heard of internal breathing techniques, breath-holding techniques, tortoise breathing techniques, Toad Guardian Mystic Art... but he had never heard of Water Breathing techniques.

It looked at the Old Giant Clam: "What is Water Breathing? Does it mean that humans, who have no gills, can still breathe?"

The Old Giant Clam sneered inwardly.

You ignorant out-of-town turtle, there's so much you don't know! Have you ever seen a human turn into a monkey? A giant monkey, ten feet tall!

"I don't know."

The Old Turtle was greatly disappointed. Living a long life means having hobbies, and reading and studying various martial arts were among its Great Prosperity.

The moonlight, like water, washed over the floor tiles, making them glisten with white frost.

The two boys from the Scarface family roared as they jumped over the threshold, fought their way from the veranda to the courtyard, and tumbled down the steps.

At the entrance to the kitchen.

Two large buckets of processed crayfish were bright red, exhaling small bubbles and occasionally flicking their tails to splash water. Upon closer inspection, each red crayfish had thin legs, and the front half of the crayfish's head had been completely cut off.

At the bottom of the steps, a girl was drawing well water to wash herself.

With a whoosh.

Pour in a large basin of water, and it will create a dense foam.

Hearing footsteps approaching, the little girl looked up, stood up awkwardly, wiped her hands on her apron, and bowed, saying, "Master!"

Liang Qu's teeth clenched, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"Master Liang, Ninth Master, Young Master are all fine, just don't call me Master. Or you can do what Aunt Zhang does and call me Boss!"

Hearing the voice coming from the kitchen, Aunt Zhang quickly explained.

"Master! My girl, Chen Xiu! I thought I'd bring her here for you to see as soon as possible. If she does anything wrong in the future, please feel free to teach her a lesson."

Liang Qu raised an eyebrow. "Surname Chen?"

"Yes, my husband's surname is Chen. He's related to Qing Jiang, who lives next door to the landlord. I have to call him my uncle."

"Oh!"

Liang Qu knew that Aunt Zhang was a native of Yixing Town with impeccable Yi Xing Town, and he had specifically requested that she be a local when he went to the brokerage firm years ago.

The Chen Clan happens to be a major branch in Yi Xing Town, and Chen Zhaoan, the Village Elder and clan head, holds the top position among the Village Elder.

It's not unusual for Aunt Zhang to marry a man surnamed Chen, and it's also normal for her to be from the same clan as Chen Qingjiang.

In a small village, most people are related by blood or kinship, and it's possible that they might share an ancestor with the villagers during a feast.

Liang Qu sized him up. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, a typical rural person, doing rough work, with wheat-colored skin and a thick braid. He wasn't particularly handsome, just ordinary-looking with regular features.

"Alright, let's start calculating wages from this month. Have you told me what I'll be doing, Aunt Zhang?"

"I told you, boss, don't worry."

"Good!"

Now, the household has a fourth servant.

When is a good time for a late-night snack?

"I'll be right there. All the ingredients are ready, just waiting to be cooked. It wasn't easy to buy crayfish tonight, so it took a little longer."

Fifteen minutes later.

The aroma of frying oil adds a touch of heat to the quiet night.

Ta Ta Kai led the group of otters, carrying a wooden chair on its head, to the yard and brought out a large square table.

Take a ride on the cool night breeze.

Two large bowls of crayfish were served, steaming hot, along with two small plates of smashed cucumber, fried peanuts, garlic-roasted eggplant, a plate of fried chicken legs, and half a bowl of cheese.

Su Guishan took a deep breath of the aroma.

That's the taste.

That's right!

"Uncle, have a taste. I guarantee that even the best chef in your household has never made a dish like this."

Su Guishan didn't stand on ceremony. He rolled up his sleeves and took a sip of the buttermilk to moisten his throat. Unexpectedly, the texture was quite smooth. He savored it a few times.

"How did you make this buttermilk? With black tea and milk?"

"How about adding fresh milk and a little honey to brewed black tea, then chilling it?"

"It's alright, quite novel."

It seems that Su Guishan's acceptance of milk tea isn't too bad.

If Liang Qu Water Control and inject carbon dioxide, it would be able to produce a whole batch of sparkling water from Su Guishan.

"Uncle, try the crayfish, it's the highlight of tonight."

"Good!"

Su Guishan rolled up his sleeves, and the rich, pungent aroma of garlic alone was enough to make one's mouth water.

Peel open a lobster tail.

Upon first bite, the savory garlic flavor bursts forth, followed by incredibly flavorful, springy lobster meat mixed with the rich broth...

Su Guishan's eyes lit up.

Fresh! Delicious! How could such a tiny crayfish taste so delicious? Seeing Su Guishan's hands moving non-stop, Liang Qu knew that the matter of water plants was settled.

To keep Su Guishan, he also peeled a few.

Each braised shrimp is plump and full of bright red roe. The shrimp meat is firm yet tender, with a naturally sweet aftertaste, making it a top-notch late-night snack.

However, the matter of the Flood Dragon weighed heavily on my mind, and I really had no appetite.

However, seeing Su Guishan enjoying his meal in front of him, Liang Qu had a sudden inspiration.

"Uncle, may I ask you a few questions?"

"Explain!"

"What does the imperial court think of the Jiang Huai Flood Dragon? Why did the True Dragon disappear? What is the approximate strength of the Demon Court Four Pillars?"

"Good lad, you know how to ask questions!"
