One creature subdues another

An hour later, in Li Household Village.

The lazy Single Horn Si lay sprawled in front of the irrigation ditch at the village entrance, as always.

He would only reluctantly open his eyes when two or three children passed by, making sure they didn't fall into the water.

"You lazy ox, you're slacking off again!"

Without a sound, a bright red lynx appeared and leaped onto the back of the Single Horn Si.

"Hmph, I call this stealing a moment of leisure from my busy schedule, which is quite different from that stray cat that disappears for years at a time..."

With its eyes still slightly narrowed, the Single Horn Si retorted mercilessly.

"If my master hadn't mentioned it so often, I would have thought you died in some remote corner!"

With a snarl and a grimacing grin, Xiluo scratched the Single Horn Si's claw, cursing in annoyance.

"You damned ox, it's only been a few years and you've already forgotten how powerful I am!"

In the ecological niche of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Xiluo is undoubtedly superior to the Single Horn Si.

Regardless of the era, whenever the Single Horn Si saw Xiluo, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, at most only daring to bicker with her.

This time was no exception; once Xiluo got serious, he naturally backed down.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Stop scratching, okay? I won't say anything more."

She licked her paws with great satisfaction, Xiluo then wanted to say something more.

Looking up, he saw a little girl staring blankly at him from a distance.

"Xiao Xi?"

Seeing that the other person looked so familiar, Xiluo tentatively called out to them.

The next second, Li Xi grinned and ran towards Xiluo and the Single Horn Si.

During this process, several clay animals carefully climbed onto Li Xi's shoulder, curiously examining the red lynx he had never seen before.

"Grandmother Mountain God!"

Until Xiluo leaped off the back of the Single Horn Si and transformed back into the form of a celestial maiden.

Li Xi then opened her arms wide, looking very happy as if she wanted a hug.

Haha, I never imagined you'd grown so much!

Xiluo picked Li Xi up in her arms, displaying an enthusiasm completely different from before.

"Human children really do grow up fast. I remember you were only this short when I left..."

After carrying Li Xi and spinning her around a few times, Xiluo finally noticed the clay animals on his shoulders.

"Your skills have improved quite quickly."

Did you come to see me because you saw me come back?

Li Xi nodded obediently; he had indeed foreseen Xiluo's return in advance through [Knowledge of Past Lives].

"Haha, you're definitely much more sensible than your brother!"

"Come on, I brought you some gifts. See if you like them."

Completely ignoring the sullen-looking Single Horn Si, Xiluo picked up Li Xi and headed towards the village.

As they passed the shrine at the village entrance, the old village chief seemed to notice something and raised his eyelids, but he didn't see Xiluo and Li Xi. "Grandmother Mountain God?"

The old village chief gave a tentative, soft call, but received no reply. He then turned his gaze to the Single Horn Si in the distance.

Upon seeing the claw marks on the Single Horn Si's face, the old village chief suddenly realized and a smile crept onto his face.

"Good thing you're back! Looks like things are going to get interesting these next few days!"

Until Xiluo carried Li Xi into Li Household Village.

She then realized just how earth-shattering the changes had taken place in Li Household Village during the short few years she had been away.

Needless to say, the main road is clean and tidy.

The entire village has expanded several times over.

Nowadays, Li Household Village is more like Li Household Village Town, or even Lijia City, than Lijia Village.

Because Li Household Village now possesses all the conditions to become a town or city, and everything within it has long formed a simple self-sustaining system.

Farmland, businesses, factories, population, education...

Even if cut off from external supplies, Li Household Village can maintain its existence for several years without collapsing thanks to this cycle.

Along the way, Xiluo saw many new things that she could not see anywhere else in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Is that a bicycle?

Pointing to the two-wheeled vehicles traveling in the two lanes on either side, Xiluo asked in a low voice, slightly surprised.

The concept of a "bicycle" was already designed long before Li Boyang even began his spiritual practice.

However, at that time, there was not a single regular road in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and coupled with the lack of steel and rubber, Li Boyang was unable to create a real object.

But now, you can see that there's even a dedicated bike lane for these bicycles.

The main road in the center is for Bronze Horse, while bicycle lanes are on both sides.

This complex and aesthetically pleasing plan is clearly the work of Li Boyang.

"Yes, the village roads have been renovated and streetlights have been installed in the last two years..."

"Uncle Chengfeng also made a special trip to Gao Village Town to buy some bicycles, which sparked a bicycle craze throughout the village."

"Brother Xiao Mu was the first to ride a bicycle..."

"Unfortunately, he's very stingy and has never wanted us to touch his precious bicycle."

Despite his young age, Li Xi answered Xiluo's questions with utmost seriousness.

This adorable scene made Xiluo laugh again, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch the other girl's little cheek. "Oh, is our little cutie angry?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I'll get you one sometime."

Hearing Xiluo say that, Li Xi immediately looked up expectantly, and even the little clay animals on her shoulder seemed to stir. "But... I'm too young... I can't ride a bicycle..."

After a brief moment of excitement, Li Xi immediately lowered his head and sighed with regret.

"Don't be like your brother, always sighing at such a young age. You'll turn into a little old lady."

With a smile, Xiluo playfully pinched Li Xi's nose and said with obvious affection.

"You might not know this, but this bicycle was designed by your brother. Your unreliable aunt has always wanted one since she was little." "So don't worry about not being able to ride it. Just ask your brother; he has specially made miniature versions of bicycles."

"I think he called it... a children's stroller?"

Li Xi's eyes widened immediately, never expecting that the design of this bicycle originated from Li Boyang.

"Your brother is really something, how dare he ignore our little darling's feelings."

"Next time you want something, just tell him. Don't be afraid he won't agree."

Li Xi blinked cautiously, thinking of her brother who always seemed busy, and finally shook her head decisively. "No, my brother is busy with important matters, I can't disturb him."
