Chapter 340: Chapter 333 Accelerated Growth of the Green Demon Bee_1

Qin Niu covertly tried to sense Zhang Banzui’s cultivation level, which was merely that of an ordinary person, at the Onefold realm of mortals.

Seeing that Zhang Banzui had angered Auntie Flower, the others did not dare to let Zhang Banzui tell their fortunes anymore.

After all, Qin Niu was holding a joyous event. If Zhang Banzui were to blurt out something ominous again, it would completely spoil the festive atmosphere. It could even possibly irritate Qin Niu, their host.

A good while later, Zhang Banzui had eaten his fill.

He did have his principles, washing his bowl and putting it back where it belonged.

Then, he picked up two jars of fine wine and staggered out.

“Good fortune or disaster, if it’s disaster, you can’t escape! People laugh at me for being insane, I laugh at people for not seeing through…”

Muttering to himself, he wandered off.

“Auntie Flower, will you and your daughter come into the city tomorrow? My girl mentioned there’s a pharmacy in the city hiring, offering a salary of two Silver Money a month. Work well, and there’s extra rewards. On holidays, they even give fish, meat, and shoes. I heard that if you stay for three years, the salary can increase to at least three Silver Money a month. Such opportunities are rare.”

“You go ahead! My daughter needs to stay home these next few days to help me with work,” Auntie Flower replied, although in her heart, she took Zhang Banzui’s words to heart and was reluctant to let her daughter go to the city.

Two Silver Money a month was a decent job for a girl already.

Working in a pharmacy was also somewhat respectable.

They could even learn some medical knowledge there.

“Hey, you don’t really believe what Zhang Banzui said, do you? Don’t listen to his nonsense. Everyone knows Auntie Flower has a good heart; how could your family possibly encounter disaster? It’s only blessings. Pharmacies rarely hire people, and this time they wanted to fill positions because a couple of guys left. Miss this chance, and there won’t be another shop waiting.”

Auntie Liu from the Liu Family continued to urge Auntie Flower.

Thanks to Auntie Flower’s successful match-making for Qin Niu, all the villagers knew about her close relationship with Qin Niu. Grateful for her kindness, Qin Niu would certainly look after Auntie Flower should she need help in the future.

Because of this relationship, Auntie Flower’s status in the village had soared.

Auntie Liu, wanting to be on good terms with Auntie Flower, was selling her this favor by introducing a good job for Auntie Flower’s daughter in the city.

“Thank you, dear sister. My daughter indeed needs to help me with work at home these days. I’m grateful for your kind offer. I’m done eating, and my daughter hasn’t had her dinner at home yet. I need to take some food to her, so please excuse me,” Auntie Flower said as she carried a bowl of food out of the Qin Residence.

In the village, when there was a good occasion, if one was on good terms with the host family, it was common to take some food back home for the family, and the host family usually wouldn’t mind.

Auntie Flower taking some food from Qin Niu’s place was something Qin Niu certainly wouldn’t mind.

…

After finishing his meal, Qin Niu went to check on the Green Demon Bees as usual.

“Growing so fast! They’ve actually molted.”

The larval stage should be the most vulnerable stage in a Green Demon Bee’s life.

At this time, its body was covered with a layer of fuzz, and it was very soft. If it encountered a natural predator, it would be easily killed.

Normally, hornets needed to molt about twice during the larval stage before they could start pupating.

Having been feeding the Green Demon Bee for so long, it finally completed its first molt.

One could see that its exoskeleton’s color had clearly darkened somewhat.

Compared with before, its body had also grown significantly larger.

Qin Niu had a sudden idea; since the Green Demon Bee needed Worker Bees to feed it anyway, why not feed it the corpses of some Corpse Bee generals?

As soon as he thought of it, he did it.

He directly took the corpse of one Corpse Bee general, then a Steel-winged Wild Bee general, and had the War Bees eat them before feeding the Green Demon Bee.

After cultivating the Green Demon Bee, Qin Niu went to the backyard to check on the Red-eyed Golden Toad.

He saw the Ice Lotus in the pond of the backyard trying hard to display its beautiful petals. Within the pond, cold air rose and met with the warm air, creating mist. The whole pond seemed shrouded in fog, full of artistic conception.

It was still summer now, the hottest time of the year.

Yet, beside the lotus pond, Qin Niu felt pleasantly cool. This Ice Lotus had a natural cooling effect.

Approaching the corner of the backyard, where the Golden Toad’s nest was located,

he saw that the Golden Toad was still curled up, squatting motionless inside its burrow.

Based on Qin Niu’s experience from cultivating beast pets twice, after consuming Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, they required at least a month to complete their evolution.
