“Actually, things are really simple. Your family goes out and steals whatever they please. That kind of behavior makes me really unhappy,” Shen Ying explained. “I heard that you’re Vegetable Family’s parent. Let me remind you that your family members have done some really horrible things. You should educate them.”

“…” What Vegetable Family? He was the patriarch of the family, not the parent. And why was she talking to the Traveling Immortal as if he was her grandson?

“I came back to tell you guys this.” Shen Ying plucked the radish from her thigh and continued, “This may be a radish, but it belongs to someone. Your family may really love vegetables, but you can’t snatch it from me if I refuse to give it to you.”

A Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit!

The Patriarch’s eyes lit up as they widened. Suddenly, he understood why his five uncles had taken so long to return. The Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit belongs to her! That’s frightening.

“I can’t be bothered to deal with you guys, so I’m going to give you a stern warning right now. If anyone from the Xuan Yuan Family appears midway through my meal again… I’ll hit you!”

“…” You already hit me!

“Do you understand?” Shen Ying raised her voice.

The people on the ground suddenly stood upright and nodded in response.

Traveling Immortal One: “Yes, Great Immortal. We understand, Great Immortal!”

Traveling Immortal Two: “I’ll reflect on my actions and change as needed, Great Immortal!”

Traveling Immortal Three: “I will always remember your wise words, Great Immortal!”

Traveling Immortal Four: “One sentence from you, Great Immortal, is more valuable than ten… or a thousand books!”

Traveling Immortal Five: “No one from our family will ever interrupt your training again, Great Immortal. I will personally deal with whoever who dares to do so.”

Xuan Yuan Family Patriarch: “…” Were the Traveling Immortals from his family concussed?

“And you?” Shen Ying suddenly turned to look at him, full of murderous intent.

His entire body stilled and thoughts of death filled his mind as he began to break out in cold sweat.

With all the willpower he had, he stuttered, “Y-Yeth, Gray Immorer.” It wasn’t that he didn’t want to answer her properly—he really couldn’t speak. He was still in so much pain!

“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded in approval. Finally, she stood up and walked toward them. “I have nothing else for you. Dismissed!”

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she headed for the exit.

“Ji ji ji ji!” The radish suddenly hopped back into the hall.

“What are you doing?” Shen Ying asked, confused. “You want to be the Vegetable Family’s radish?”

“Ji ji ji…” The radish nervously bounced on the spot. It looked at something located further inside of the hall, then turned back to Shen Ying. Suddenly, it hopped up forcefully and landed on the seat atop the platform where Shen Ying had been seated just seconds ago. The radish used its leaves to reach into the wall behind the chair and a moment later, it pulled something out and lifted it up to Shen Ying. “Ji ji ji…”

The six other men’s expressions changed.

Shen Ying lowered her head to study the item. All she saw were dried leaves. “A pickle?”

“Ji ji.”

“You want it?”

“Ji ji ji…” The radish frantically nodded with its leaves.

“Er…” Shen Ying frowned. She turned around to look at the men standing beside her and said, “Vegetable Family Patriarch, could you…”

“Yes, yes, yes!” The Master had finally regained his ability to speak. Nodding furiously, he said, “Great Immortal, it is our honor to offer to you something that you like!”

“Oh, thank you then! Radish, come here!”

“Ji…” The radish hopped forward. Shen Ying reached for the huge dandelion atop the radish’s head and plucked it off. She handed it to the Master and said, “This should be useful to you. Take it as an exchange! Radish, let’s go.”

She walked out of the door as soon as she finished speaking.

“Ji?” The radish articulated. It paused as its eyes followed Shen Ying. It then turned around to look at the dandelion in the Master’s hands.

Pui!

You lucked out .

It bounced out after Shen Ying. As it bounced, it shouted continuously, “Ji… ji… ji…”
