The Wealthy Landlord and the Demon General Zhujian
The Primordial World wilderness is vast. The distance from Purple Jade Mountain to Tianmu Mountain and Danzhang Mountain is long enough for those lesser demons in the Heavenly Immortal Realm to fly for three to five years.
Therefore, Wu Chu have a long time to make this preparation.
He first expanded the range of the Mountain Protection Array to a vast area of hundreds of thousands of miles. Since he was no longer afraid of the Old Demon's clone descending, there was no need to cower like a turtle.
Of course, regardless of whether the White Ye King would come alone to the meeting, or whether the Zhujian leader had truly fallen into demonic possession, he had no intention of leaving the territory of Purple Jade Mountain easily.
Although the patriarch said before leaving that he would handle this matter himself, he didn't set a time limit for him!
Therefore, Wu Chu decided that as long as those demonic beings didn't come here to cause trouble, he would turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see anything.
With his small arms and legs, he's not capable of managing so much.
Thinking about it this way, it's natural that dancing, singing, and music will continue as usual.
Of course, this was only on the surface. In secret, Wu Chu had not neglected his cultivation; he had already begun to comprehend the Fire-Control Technique that Di Jun had taught him.
Once you have a basic grasp of this Fire-Control Technique, you can comprehend the Fire Origin.
Once the Fire Origin is fully comprehended, the Metal Origin can then be deduced.
Wu Chu has entrusted the task of deducing the Metal Origin to Yibao. With Yibao's computational abilities, he will definitely be much better at the deduction than Wu Chu himself.
Although Yibao's deductions may not be entirely correct, they are at least a good reference for him and will certainly be of great help in his understanding of the Metal Origin.
Just like that, several months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the autumn harvest season again.
Upon seeing the relaxed demeanor of Wu Chu, the host, within the territory of Purple Jade Mountain, the others naturally became even more carefree.
On the shore of that great lake, hundreds of acres of Five-Colored Rice and Jiao Rice, as well as various other crops, were planted. Hundreds of Little Flower Fairies were busy harvesting in the fields, and then storing the Five-Colored Rice in the warehouse at the top of the tree.
As you can see, groups of Little Flower Fairies are shuttling back and forth between the rice paddies and treetops, happily carrying the crops, and occasionally singing a Mount Shou.
Of course, it wasn't a duet.
Aside from the Fat Dog and the Little Deer Cub, which are male, and the indistinguishable male and female Rainbow Snail, almost all other creatures living atop this tree are female.
Logically speaking, there should be male flowers among all the flowers, but so far, none of the Little Flower Fairy Clan who have taken Transformation Form are male.
It's unclear whether it was because Wu Chu doted on Little Moon Spirit and the others, but these Little Flower Fairies naturally chose the female gender when they transformed into Transformation Form.
Wu Chu had no intention of correcting or interfering, after all, the entire Flower Fairy Clan was Transformation Form, so what could a clan of females do?
They don't have any birth rate issues to worry about.
During the autumn harvest, there are many crops to be harvested, including Five-Colored Rice and Jiao Rice, which are their staple foods. Of course, they are also used for brewing.
She only eats occasionally; otherwise, if hundreds of Little Flower Fairies had Little Moon Spirit cook for them every day, where would Little Moon Spirit find the time to cultivate?
Moreover, the Little Flower Fairies' favorite food is not five-colored rice, but Hundred Flower Brew, which is made by adding a hundred kinds of flowers to Five-Colored Rice and brewing it with the Primordial One-Qi Pure Spirit Spring.
Besides these, there were other things like Sugarcane, various wild fruits and vegetables... However, now that there are fruits like grapes, peaches, and apricots, Wu Chu are not so enthusiastic about some wild fruits anymore.
He was more enthusiastic about teaching Little Moon Spirit how to make chili sauce, chili powder, and other condiments.
Fortunately, the storage room atop the tree had already been modified by Hong Yun and his group, and further improved by the ancestor a few years ago. Now, the storage space inside is enough for them to stuff everything in. On the surface, it looks like just an ordinary warehouse a few feet square, but the interior space is enough to hold dozens of Azure Dragon like they used to be.
This warehouse was Little Moon Spirit's treasure trove. All the harvested supplies were categorized by her, and she directed the Little Flower Fairies on how and where to store them.
At this time, Doggy A Qiu and Little Deer Cub were also helping out.
Of course, the Doggy didn't have the same awareness Little Deer Cub; he was kicked by Wu Chu to be used as a camel's horse. Although the Doggy felt wronged, it dared not say anything.
Little Moon Spirit just smiled, patted the dog's head to comfort it, and acted like a little housekeeper, managing everything inside and out perfectly.
In this respect, the Little Fox was far inferior to her.
Of course, the Little Fox isn't without its advantages.
If men are responsible for earning money to support the family, and women are responsible for being beautiful, then Little Fox is that beautiful woman, proficient in everything from music and chess to calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony, and dance. Although she looks young, her demeanor is quite elegant, and she possesses a certain charm.
Faced with such Little Fox, Wu Chu could only sigh, "Truly a fox spirit!"
Sitting in the pavilion, sipping tea brewed by the Little Fox, listening to the music played by the Little Fox, and watching the busy figures of the Little Flower Fairies, Wu Chu suddenly felt like a wealthy landlord. The only difference was that he couldn't indulge in the company of beautiful women like a wealthy landlord.
Just as everyone on Purple Jade Mountain was busy with the autumn harvest, the few little demons that Wu Chu had sent back to 'report the news' were stopped by someone.
"This humble servant greets the chief..."
When the lesser demons saw the person who had stopped them, they were all moved to tears; they were actually able to receive a personal audience with the leader of the Zhujian tribe.
"You lot..."
The leader had a dark face—well, his face was naturally dark, with dark skin, a muscular build, and a vertical eye on his forehead. Strangely, both of his eyes were closed; only the middle vertical eye was open.
There were several fluffy belts wrapped around his waist... actually, that was his tail.
"Weren't you all missing tens of thousands of years ago? What happened?"
The crane-legged demon clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to Chief Chan, we were indeed trapped in a formation on Purple Jade Mountain tens of thousands of years ago and could not get out. This time, the master of Purple Jade Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves the initiative to release us, saying that he wanted us to carry a message back to the Great King..."
Zhujian's eyes darted around, and he asked, "Oh? What message did you bring?"
"That Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves said that if the king wants those lesser ones to return safely, he must personally go to Purple Jade Mountain to find him; otherwise, he will unleash a massacre!"
"Start a massacre, you've got quite the nerve!" The Zhujian leader chuckled coldly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. An invisible killing intent immediately spread, making the lesser demons tremble in fear.
After a while, he suppressed his murderous intent and asked, "Has the Mountain Protection Array of Purple Jade Mountain been repaired? How powerful was the formation that trapped you all?"
The little crane-legged demon shook his head and said, "I don't know if the Mountain Protection Array has been repaired, but the formation that trapped us wasn't a killing formation, just a trapping one. If you don't understand formations, it's very difficult to get out once you go in, and things inside the formation are also very difficult to destroy. Even if they are destroyed, they can be restored to their original state in an instant. Old Ox knows this best; he's been destroying things inside for several years..."
Upon hearing this, Zhujian looked at the minotaur. The Old Ox scratched its head and said, "I did indeed wreak havoc in that formation for several years, but it was all in vain. In the end, it was that Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves who led me out of the formation. That Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves is very cunning..."
"..."
Zhujian frowned; he hated cunning people the most.
After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "None of you have ever fought against him?"
"No, I wouldn't dare!"
The little demons lowered their heads in shame.
Knowing their opponent was a powerful figure, how could they dare to attack so easily? Besides, their mission at Purple Jade Mountain wasn't to cause trouble, but to extend goodwill; how could they afford to act rashly?
Zhujian nodded slightly, and finally said, "You gentlemen, stay here and await my orders! There's no need to return to Danzhang Mountain for now. Those trapped in that formation are all my brothers, so I will make all the decisions."
"Yes, yes!"
P. S.: Monday, please give me some votes, thank you!
