The next morning, Jiang Lin cooked another bowl of noodles. After having breakfast with Zong Yu, he went out for a stroll.
The Supervisory Office had been sending people to secretly observe this place, and they were shocked to see the harmonious atmosphere between Jiang Lin and Zong Yu.
"What did you say? He gets along well with that little bully?" Chen Yu was shocked.
The visitor told Chen Yu what he had seen, especially that while they were shopping, Jiang Lin bought a candied haws for Zong Yu as if he was really taking care of a child.
The little bully accepted it obediently.
Chen Yu: “…”
His expression was uncertain, and he finally let out a deep breath: "Forget it."
It's just a little bit of humiliation. The other party is so strong, and it's not too shameful to be bullied by such a monster.
Jiang Lin also knew that the Supervisory Office had secretly sent people to follow him.
But he had no particular purpose in the first place, and it was a legitimate thing for him to exchange seeds such as pepper and rice with those merchants.
The people from the Supervisory Office saw that he bought everything he saw, so they thought that this big monster had never seen the world and did not take it seriously.
Huaiyang City is not big and it only took a few days to finish the tour. Jiang Lin decided to go to another place.
He went to the Inspectorate and told the authorities that the monster was leaving. Naturally, the Inspectorate was happy to send the giant Buddha away.
What Jiang Lin didn't expect was that he caught a small tail outside Huaiyang City.
"Zong Yu?" Jiang Lin was puzzled as he looked at the little boy in black with two small horns on his forehead.
Zong Yu asked, "Don't you want to go to another city?"
Jiang Lin nodded.
Zong Yu said with a straight face: "I have been to every inch of Dasheng. I think I can be your guide."
Jiang Lin looked at him suspiciously: "Are you so kind?"
Zong Yu did not hide his demands at all: "In exchange, you have to cook for me every day."
He had even secretly found a chef and asked him to teach him how to make noodles.
The chef specially prepared a delicious broth as the base and made a bowl of exquisite chicken noodle soup with great color, aroma and taste.
However, Zong Yu couldn't eat it at all.
He asked people to try other food made by Jiang Lin and finally confirmed: the reason why he liked to eat what Jiang Lin made was not because the food was new and he had never seen it before.
But because he did it with his own hands.
Zong Yu couldn't figure out the trick, but that didn't stop him from deciding to follow Jiang Lin.
But Jiang Lin rejected him without mercy: "Impossible, I'm not a professional cook."
Zong Yu was annoyed: "Everyone else is coaxing me, why don't you?"
Jiang Lin asked back: "Why should I coax you?"
Zong Yu was stunned and said, "I'm very powerful."
Jiang Lin smiled: "You also said that others coax you because they want something from you. But I don't need you to do anything."
Zong Yu frowned in embarrassment.
He suddenly remembered that yesterday, Jiang Lin was pulled by the sleeve by a little girl of three or four years old in front of a sweet soup stall.
The little girl had a chubby face and wore two buns. She bit her fingers and pulled Jiang Lin, calling him daddy.
—Maybe I recognized the wrong person.
Zong Yu thought it looked stupid, but Jiang Lin was laughing happily. He even bought the little girl a bowl of sugar water and sat aside watching her eat until her family came over.
Zong Yu thought that he probably knew a little about Jiang Lin's hobbies.
Thinking of this, he thought seriously for a moment, and suddenly reached out and grabbed a corner of Jiang Lin's robe.
Jiang Lin:
He looked down in astonishment. The little boy in black in front of him looked up and looked at him eagerly: "...Brother Jiang Lin."
Jiang Lin:
He stared at Zong Yu expressionlessly.
Zong Yu looked up at him for a few breaths. After confirming that Jiang Lin's reaction was completely different from what he imagined, he let go of his hand and frowned in confusion: "Don't you like it this way?"
Jiang Lin was actually touched for a moment.
Although Zong Yu has a bit of a weird personality, his appearance is impeccable and he truly deserves to be called a piece of jade.
Seeing this little jade-carved baby looking up and calling him brother, Jiang Lin felt that he would be a bad person if he didn't show some mercy.
But at the same time, he clearly understood that this little devil Zong Yu was not like this by nature. He acted like this just to achieve a certain goal and make himself compromise.
He said with a straight face: "They are really cute, but you are just trying to be cute, how can they be the same?"
Zong Yu didn't really understand what it meant to act cute, he said in frustration: "Then what do you have to do to be willing to take me with you?"
He looked downcast, his eyes drooped, and his long eyelashes were like crow feathers, casting a small shadow on his white jade-like face.
Jiang Lin sighed: "Forget it, let's go."
Zong Yu: “Hmm?”
He looked up quickly and saw Jiang Lin's back walking forward.
He was delighted and quickly stepped forward: "Jiang Lin?"
Jiang Lin: “…Call me brother.”
Zong Yu hesitated, but Jiang Lin on the other end had already spoken: "I won't cook if you don't yell."
Zong Yu: "Brother Jiang Lin!"
By the time Jiang Lin returned to Baihu Ridge, it was already late autumn.
The original plan was to stay away for a month, but later, with Zong Yu as his tail and guide, Jiang Lin simply visited dozens of cities in Dasheng.
I felt the customs and culture of that era and bought a lot of things.
Whenever Zong met him, he always went shopping, but he never had more than one bag on him and he never asked any questions.
Jiang Lin also discovered that although this little bully looked bad-tempered and annoying, he was actually very straightforward and had no dark thoughts. He probably guessed that Jiang Lin had some magic weapon like space, and he never coveted it.
Moreover, a big part of the reason why Zong Yu had a bad temper was that he couldn't eat satisfactory food.
Since following Jiang Lin, although Jiang Lin cannot cook for him three meals a day, he doesn't mind satisfying his appetite when he has free time.
Being able to eat satisfying food every other day, Zong Yu's temper even improved a lot.
He was already a pretty little boy, and without his bad temper, he looked even more lovable.
So when Zong Yu suggested going with him to Baihu Ridge to take a look, Jiang Lin did not refuse.
Before leaving, Jiang Lin gave the pheasants some seeds and taught the raccoon cat some delicious dishes. In addition, the monsters had already learned how to build houses.
Jiang Lin knew that Baihu Ridge might be different from before he left.
It's one thing to think about it, but when Jiang Lin actually returned to Baihu Ridge, he was still shocked.
Looking from afar, there were many small houses outside the valley where his yard was located.
The houses are of different styles, but they are all separated by neatly planted flowers and trees in the front and back and arranged in a very orderly manner. There is even a small river dug on the side, with a row of neatly planted evergreen trees growing on both sides.
It looks like a series of small detached houses.
He has only been away for a few months. Could it be that some new master architect has come to Baihu Ridge
Zong Yu was also shocked: "Brother Jiang Lin, your White Tiger Ridge is different from the places where the demons live that I have seen."
Zong Yu had encountered many monsters before, some of which had just come out of the mountains and forests, and some had lived in the human world for a long time.
The two are easy to distinguish.
Zong Yu had communicated with them before, and he had a fixed impression of the places where demons gathered in this world: primitive, closed, bestial, and without any civilization developed yet.
But the White Tiger Ridge before him was completely different from what he had expected. If he had not known in advance that this was a place where monsters lived, he would have even thought that this was a villa for some royal noble to relax and vacation.
No, it is impossible for humans’ villas to have such rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth - the places where monsters are born are mostly blessed places, which are naturally not comparable to ordinary areas.
As they talked, they walked closer and heard the voice of a child.
Jiang Lin looked over and found that there were many swings on the trees near the houses.
There are a few little monsters playing on it that have not yet transformed.
Finally, a monster discovered Jiang Lin's arrival.
Immediately, several rays of light flashed towards this side, the first of which was the raccoon cat.
The slender girl's eyes sparkled: "My king, you are finally back!"
The pheasant was also on the side, its posture was much more reserved, but its expression was also excited.
Other monsters also rushed over to greet Jiang Lin. Most of them were not very familiar with Jiang Lin, so they were still a little reserved and in awe of him when they saw him.
Zong Yu, who had been standing aside without saying anything, suddenly stood up.
He had been hiding behind a tree and observing the monsters in Baihu Ridge. Now that he came out, his aura, which had never been restrained, suddenly burst out.
The monsters in Baihu Ridge only felt a terrifying aura emanating from this big monster. They all took a few steps back and looked at him in horror.
Zong Yu was satisfied with the situation: This is a normal reaction, the monsters in the past also behaved like this when they saw me.
Only this freak Jiang Lin is not afraid of being suppressed by his own bloodline.
Zong Yu was thinking proudly when he was suddenly hit on the head: "You have grown up, bullying the little monster here?"
Zong Yu covered his head and stared at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin said lightly: "When you said you wanted to come to Baihu Ridge with me, what did you promise?"
Zong Yu thought about it: Be obedient, don’t cause trouble, don’t bully the little monsters, and help do things when necessary.
He suddenly began to doubt Yaosheng: How could he agree to such unprincipled conditions
But he is a monster who keeps his word, and since he has promised, he must do it.
Zong Yu reluctantly restrained his intimidation and stood aside obediently.
Jiang Lin dealt with Zong Yu, and when he turned around, he was met with the sparkling, admiring gazes of a group of monsters.
The monsters didn't care about any deal between Jiang Lin and Zong Yu. They only saw that after their king said a word, the big monster with a terrifying aura obeyed obediently.
What does this mean
This means that the king is more powerful than that big monster!
In the world of monsters, people essentially admire the strong.
Jiang Lin himself didn't realize that Zong Yu helped him gain a wave of fans when he first came to Baihuling.
Jiang Lin dismissed the monsters and asked them to do their own things, leaving the raccoon cat and the pheasant to ask some questions.
While watching and listening to the two monsters' explanations, Jiang Lin sighed in his heart: This Baihu Ridge is really full of talented people.
