Yingbao started babbling and stretched out her little hands to hug the little flying squirrel.
Jiang Dalang was knowledgeable after all, and stopped his third brother: "I saw a rune light up on the little flying squirrel, did it make a contract with Yingbao?"
Some spirit beasts recognize their masters and will indeed use this method to sign contracts. Although the Jiang family members cannot practice cultivation, they often sell spiritual medicines they collect to practitioners and know a lot of secrets of the fairy world.
Jiang Sanlang paused, looked at his daughter, and asked, "Bao'er, have you contracted this little mouse?" Yingbao giggled, broke free from her mother's arms again, and threw herself onto the little flying mouse.
This time the little flying squirrel didn't bite her. Instead, it swept its little master's face with its big fluffy tail.
The three brothers laughed immediately, and Chunniang felt relieved.
Later, seeing the two kids having fun playing together, they felt relieved.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Jiang Sanlang took his daughter and two brothers out again.
No wild beast dared to approach his house, not even in the vegetable garden and farmland, but the rest of the place was trampled by wild beasts.
However, Jiang Sanlang found several different kinds of fruits on the trampled fence, all of which were ripe spiritual fruits.
These spiritual fruits emit a faint glow, and it is obvious at first glance that they are of extraordinary quality.
Jiang Sanlang picked up the spiritual fruit, feeling a little regretful. If he had known that there were high-level fruits left here, he would have come out to take a look earlier.
"I've never seen this kind of fruit before. Can we grow it?" Jiang Erlang came over and asked.
Jiang Sanlang shook his head: "We don't have the fate of immortals, so we can't grow spiritual plants."
They lived on the edge of the forest, and even if they really grew spiritual plants, they would be destroyed by wild beasts.
Those wild beasts are very fond of spiritual plants and can smell their scent from a long distance away. It is estimated that the seedlings will be eaten up by the wild beasts before they bear fruit.
Jiang Erlang felt a little regretful, because suddenly he saw a little flying squirrel rushing over and snatching the spiritual fruit from Jiang Sanlang's hand.
Yingbao giggled against her father's chest, looking at the little flying mouse.
The little flying squirrel was very proud. He rushed out and flew straight into the woods.
Jiang Sanlang ignored it and continued searching on the ground with his elder and second brothers.
Suddenly, several rays of light came towards this side and instantly arrived in front of the Jiang brothers.
These people were all dressed in white robes with runes flowing on them.
Several people stood in the air, looking down at the three Jiang brothers. One of them asked curiously, "What method did you use to make the beast retreat?"
Jiang Sanlang was startled, and subconsciously hugged his daughter tightly to his chest, "We don't know either."
These cultivators are not good people. Once they know that my daughter has supernatural powers, they will definitely come to snatch her away.
Another person snorted coldly: "Brother, why bother talking to them? Just search their souls directly."
The Jiang brothers were startled and immediately leaned together, holding the sickles tightly in their hands.
Several monks sneered at this.
One of them was about to use a spell, but the first person said, "Brother, you can't do that. They are just a bunch of mortals. If the Law Enforcement Hall finds out, they will start to complain."
Then he waved his sleeves, turned around and flew away on his sword.
The others looked at the Jiang brothers deeply and followed them.
The three Jiang brothers all broke out in cold sweats. Jiang Dalang said worriedly, "From the looks of those people, it's clear that they are unwilling to accept this. I'm afraid that one day..."
Jiang Sanlang had a gloomy face and without saying a word, he carried his daughter back to the cellar.
He also felt a chill in his heart.
Those cultivators were all extremely vicious and cruel. Even those who came from big sects were like bandits.
I was so careless. How could I have forgotten about this and put my family in danger
Yingbao felt her father's nervousness, so she patted his chest with her little hands and cried out twice to comfort him.
Jiang Sanlang sighed, took the girl off his chest and handed her to his wife.
Chunniang took her daughter back and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"
Jiang Sanlang sat down on the blanket and told his wife what had just happened. At the end, he said, "If those people come again in the future, you can't say anything, and you can't tell them about our daughter."
"I know." Chunniang frowned, hugged her daughter tightly and said, "How about we wait until the beast tide is over, send her to the county town, and ask the elder sister-in-law to take care of her?"
Jiang Sanlang shook his head: "No, Baoer can only stay with us." The eldest sister is not the only one in her family. Her husband is a profit-seeking man, and he can't leave his daughter in his hands.
"What should we do then?" Chunniang asked worriedly.
Yingbao looked at her father, then at her mother, and hugged her mother tightly with her little hands, resting her little head on her shoulder.
At this moment, her consciousness entered the divine palace, looked at the icicles all over the ground, and then turned to another place.
There was a sea of fire here, which made her little face red.
Yingbao closed her eyes and instinctively merged the two divine palaces slowly.
After a while, she became hungry and couldn't help but lean towards A Niang's arms.
This action meant that she was hungry. Chunniang understood it long ago, and immediately brought the prepared goat milk and fed her one spoonful at a time.
Yingbao drank a large bowl of goat's milk in one breath, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
At night, the little flying squirrel flew back to the cellar and presented some spiritual fruits to Yingbao like offering treasures.
When Yingbao saw these fruits filled with spiritual energy, her saliva began to flow.
Seeing this, Chunniang hurriedly took the fruit, peeled it, mashed the softened flesh in a bowl, and fed it to her daughter.
Yingbao ate a spiritual fruit the size of an egg, and the spiritual energy in her body suddenly surged, all flowing towards the divine palace.
The divine palace merged faster and faster, and a piece of warm, soft and moist land slowly appeared.
Yingbao poked the soil with her tiny fingers and grinned.
In her heritage, many beautiful flowers and plants will slowly grow on the warm and moist soil, and will also produce delicious fruits.
Yingbao sucked her saliva and worked harder to integrate the divine palace.
"Squeak! Squeak!" The little flying squirrel nudged Yingbao a few times, curled up against its little master, closed its eyes and fell asleep.
It flew a very long distance this time and asked the spirit deer to carry it for a while. Later, it ate the fruits on the tree and threw a few to the spirit deer before coming back.
Humph, it won’t tell its owner that its pouch has grown a lot bigger and is filled with many spiritual fruits.
Sure enough, if it follows the right master, its cultivation will increase greatly. It has already become a mid-level spirit beast from a low-level one. After a while, maybe it will become a high-level one, and then it will be able to carry its little master around.
After the little flying squirrel fell asleep, he had a dream. He dreamed that he came to a small place. He was frightened and rushed around and suddenly crashed out.
When I opened my eyes, I found that my fur was covered in mud and my big tail was all stuck together.
The little flying squirrel screamed, flew out of the cellar, dived into a nearby ditch, and scrubbed itself thoroughly.
Yingbao was woken up by the little flying squirrel. When she opened her eyes, she found that her parents were not there. She looked around but couldn't find them, so she immediately started crying.
"What's wrong?" When Chunniang heard her daughter crying, she quickly took the goat milk from the charcoal stove and climbed down the ladder.
She picked up her daughter and patted her on the shoulder, "Mother is here, don't be afraid, baby, I'm going to make some goat milk for you."
Yingbao immediately shut up and hugged A Niang's neck tightly with her little hands.
Chunniang patted her daughter and said, "Your father is really something. He's out wandering around again and doesn't even take care of his daughter."
She tied her daughter around her chest with a cloth belt and carried her out of the cellar. Then she cleaned her daughter's feces and urine, washed her clean, and fed her goat milk.
Chun Niang also added the spiritual fruit juice that Little Flying Squirrel brought back to the goat's milk, "Oh, if only we had eggs, we could add some egg yolks to the goat's milk, and Bao'er would grow up plump and white."
Yingbao blinked her eyes and wondered while drinking goat milk: What are eggs
A group of colorful images suddenly flashed in her mind, groups of large golden birds flew past her eyes, and their golden tail feathers emitted flames, just like the scene inside her divine palace.
The scene changed, and she seemed to see a golden egg with a flaming dragon coiled in the middle.
Yingbao blinked again, and the images disappeared.
After drinking the milk, Yingbao lay quietly in the cradle to integrate the divine palace.
Her subconscious mind told her that as long as she merged the two divine palaces, she would grow up and be able to do many things.
She had the memory since she was born. After the man gave birth to her, he tried to kill her.
The strong murderous intent and resentment almost buried himself.
Her instinct for survival made her command a wild beast that was trying to eat her to take her to a safe place.
The beast was very diligent and carried her very far in one breath. It was not until someone chased after her and tried to save her that Yingbao ordered the beast to put her down.
Later, she had parents who loved her.
Yingbao grinned and thought to herself that when she grows up, she will definitely repay them well.
In a blink of an eye, more than a month passed and snowflakes began to fall all over the sky.
The wild animals were frozen by the extremely cold weather and retreated into the forest.
But some beasts with thick fur remain unmoved and still roam the mortal world.
Therefore, they became the objects of training for the monks.
The Jiang brothers followed the monks' footsteps and have brought back several wild beasts. They skinned them, dismembered them, selected the good meat, smoked it and hung it up, waiting to sell it in the spring of next year, which would fetch a lot of gold and silver.
These meats contain a thin spiritual energy. The monks love to eat them, and so do ordinary people like them.
When there were no more wild beasts around, the villagers returned one after another.
When they saw the wooden racks erected in front of the Jiang brothers' house with strips of smoked meat hanging on the racks, they were a little envious.
When there was a beast tide, the brave ones got rich, but when it came to the timid ones, they didn't even have soup to drink.
The chief and two elders also came to check and asked them how they got so much meat.
"Of course I picked them up by following some monks." Jiang Sanlang said.
Those monks only wanted spiritual beasts and looked down on ordinary wild beasts, so Jiang Sanlang and his companions waited until the monks left, then carried the wild beasts back.
The chief sighed: "You brothers are so lucky." As they walked back, they saw one or two dead wild animals, but because the journey was too long and they also needed to eat, they cooked and ate them all, and only a few were left.
Looking back, he saw that the huts of Jiang Sanlang and his brothers were all intact, while the rest of the houses in the village were trampled to pieces by wild beasts. He felt even worse and wondered what method they had used to prevent the wild beasts from setting foot there
But if Jiang Sanlang is unwilling to talk about this kind of thing, it is difficult for others to find out.
The tribe leader looked at the three brothers who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally Jiang Sanlang made up his mind. He said, "Tribe leader, actually, actually I caught a flying squirrel and spread its urine around. The wild animals were disgusted and did not come over."
Then he handed a small can of urine to the patriarch: "Why don't you take it back and try it?"
The patriarch looked at the palm-sized jar, hesitated for a long time, and finally took it.
Although the beast tide has receded, there will still be wild beasts passing through this place. You might as well try it yourself to see if this thing is useful.
He didn't want his whole family to stay in the cellar all winter.
The elder next to him leaned over and asked, "Anything else?"
Jiang Sanlang shook his head expressionlessly: "The little flying squirrel is only the size of a palm."
"Oh." The elder understood and looked at the flying squirrel that landed on Jiang Sanlang's head with regret. "It's its urine."
The little flying squirrel was confused and tilted his head to look at the humans.
A winter passed quickly.
Yingbao is almost one year old and has already integrated a large area into the Divine Palace.
The fused land gradually became like the farmland outside and was very suitable for plant growth, so she planted the spiritual fruit cores that the little flying squirrel found in it.
As expected, all the fruit cores sprouted, three in total.
Yingbao was very happy and often climbed out of the fence to find plants to plant outside.
At the same time, Chunniang was diagnosed with pregnancy, which made Jiang Sanlang very happy.
But one day, two monks suddenly came, dressed in white robes and looking celestial.
Jiang Sanlang recognized the two men and cautiously hid his daughter in his arms.
The two men said to Jiang Sanlang arrogantly, "Tell the truth and I will spare your life."
Jiang Sanlang said coldly: "I don't understand what you two want me to say?"
One of them sneered: "Don't pretend, you must have something extraordinary in your house, otherwise why don't those monsters dare to approach?"
Another person also said: "How can you, ants like you, protect the treasure? Why not give it to me and let me keep it for you? Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."
He threw down a gold ingot: "Here, this is ten taels of gold, enough to buy the lives of your whole family."
Jiang Sanlang was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do.
He raised his fist and said, "Senior, I caught a little flying squirrel a few days ago. Its urine can drive away beasts, that's all. How can it be a treasure?"
The two sneered: "You are just trying to fool ignorant mortals with these words. You want to deceive me? I think you are tired of living!"
After that, he chopped down with his sword, saying: "I am from the Chen family of Suzaku City. Killing a mortal like you is like stepping on an ant..."
Jiang Sanlang subconsciously put up his hands to cover his head and face, but he knew in his heart that he was finished.
How could a mere mortal like him resist the sword of a monk
At this moment, a flame burst out from behind him and headed straight for the two monks above.
The speed of the flame was extremely fast. It not only swallowed the sword light, but also instantly pierced the chests of the two monks.
The two monks looked down at the big holes in their chests, and before they could see who had plotted against them, they both fell down.
Jiang Sanlang was stunned.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang were as surprised as he was.
They all turned to look at Yingbao who was quickly crawling towards the two bodies, and were all shocked.
Ying Bao crawled to the two monks, ripped off their ID cards and a brocade bag from their waists, and smiled at Jiang Sanlang: "Daddy! Here!"
Jiang Sanlang knew that the thing was used by the monks for storage. It could hold a lot of things and was very valuable. It was sold in the Treasure Pavilion in the county town and one was worth more than 200 spirit stones.
