Chapter 298: Chapter 291: The Return of the Green Demon Bee_1

I believe that once its strength becomes even more formidable, the golden light it shoots out will be even more terrifying.

Having just come out of the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree, Qin Niu sensed something unusual.

He checked the Green Demon Bee egg.

It had already cracked open, which meant that the Green Demon Bee had successfully hatched.

Qin Niu felt both joy and worry.

Because he had no idea how to raise a Green Demon Bee.

Just like a baby, the newly hatched larva was fragile and needed careful nurturing to grow steadily.

The larva was very soft and utterly incapable of movement at this stage.

Normally, worker bees are responsible for feeding and caring for them.

Qin Niu really didn’t know what to feed it.

Once home, he saw that the lotus pond in the backyard had been dug out. It was two zhang wide and about three zhang long.

A considerably large lotus pond.

It was just over one meter deep.

Money makes things easier.

After he offered a high salary, the villagers worked very hard and excavated such a big pond for him in just one day.

However, it couldn’t be used right away.

He had to ask Tang the tile-worker to come and line it with green tiles to reinforce the edges of the pond. Otherwise, as soon as it was filled with water, the edges of the lotus pond were extremely prone to collapse.

“Master, Sister Cai Xian came looking for you today.”

“Didn’t you invite her to stay a while?”

“I did, but when she saw that you weren’t home, she left quite soon.”

“Did she say anything?”

“Actually, she didn’t mention anything specific.”

“I’m going to her home to propose marriage tomorrow, so I’ll definitely see her then. Have the workers who helped with the pond been paid in full?”

“They have been paid in full. Just as you instructed, we also gave each of them an extra ten Wen Money as a bonus.”

Xiao Qing might be young, but she handled things quite maturely.

She was already able to relieve Qin Niu’s worries.

“Well done, let’s have dinner first. Later, I need to take a trip to Daoyuan Village.”

After dinner, Qin Niu did not rush to feed the Green Demon Bee.

Instead, while it was still not too late, he decided to go to Daoyuan Village to ask Tang Fang to come over tomorrow to work on the lotus pond.

The Ice Lotus had to be planted in the pond as soon as possible.

Currently in the soil, it was in an unhealthy state.

After dinner, Qin Niu hurried off to Daoyuan Village.

Now, many people in Daoyuan Village recognized Qin Niu and respected him greatly for helping the village fight against locusts.

Those he met along the way greeted him respectfully.

“Master Tang!”

Qin Niu shouted as he arrived outside Tang Fang’s house.

Tang Fang, who had just finished bathing, opened his door to see who was outside.

“My, if it isn’t Master Qin! What brings you here? Please come in for some tea.”

Tang Fang and Qin Niu were quite familiar with each other.

It was Tang Fang who had built Qin Niu’s house.

After entering, Tang Fang’s wife brewed tea for them and brought out some fruit.

The Tang family was well-off, living much better than the poor.

But compared to Wang Furen, their situation was markedly less affluent.

They were a middle-class family, better off than some, but not as wealthy as others.

Like the Yan Family, who belonged to the local nobility, only a few families in town were on their level. In some towns, there wasn’t even one.
