After all, that mountain is home to a large number of special bee colonies bred by the Green Demon.
Though they are merely the discarded products from the breeding process of the Green Demon Bees, they remain incredibly powerful. Qin Niu knew that many who ventured into those woods in search of Green Demon Bees met their unfortunate end at the hands of the wild bees’ Poison Stingers.
“Master, you’re back!”
Xiao Qing ran over excitedly from Wang Furen’s house.
Wang Wanyan followed behind with a smile on her face.
“You don’t know how worried Xiao Qing was about you. She barely slept last night. She spent most of today crouched by the window, looking outside, hoping for your return.”
Wang Wanyan said to Qin Niu.
“She has always been this way.”
Xiao Qing had long regarded Qin Niu as her only support. After returning from the city this time, her trust in and fondness for Qin Niu had deepened, treating him as her only family.
She was still young and couldn’t help feeling uneasy when Qin Niu had not returned home by nightfall.
“Xiao Qing didn’t cause any trouble in your place yesterday, did she?”
“She was very good, helping me clean and organize the room. I am really envious that you have such a good servant girl. My father once thought of buying me a servant girl, but I was worried about the expenses and didn’t agree. But it would be nice to buy one if I earn money in the future!”
Wang Wanyan was very affectionate towards Xiao Qing.
“Sister Wanyan, if you marry my master, I’ll be your servant girl! Then you won’t need to buy another one.”
Xiao Qing’s idea was tinged with a child’s innocence.
A single careless remark suddenly made the atmosphere turn somewhat chilly.
Wang Wanyan’s pretty face blushed, and she stole glances at Qin Niu.
“Sister Wanyan, such a beautiful and outstanding girl like you would never fancy a country bumpkin like me! Child, don’t talk nonsense in the future.”
Qin Niu chided Xiao Qing.
“Not at all! In Sister Wanyan’s room, there is a drawing of…”
“Xiao Qing, you must not tell your master about that. You promised.”
“Oh, I almost let it slip!”
Xiao Qing quickly covered her mouth.
“Um… my father seemed to have something for me just now. I’m heading back. Ah Niu, when you have time, can you teach me how to tame beasts? I’ve tamed our cat, but I don’t know how to interact and cultivate it.”
Wang Wanyan’s pretty face had turned red all the way to the base of her neck, making her look even more beautiful.
Watching her, Qin Niu’s gaze was fixed.
It wasn’t until she hurriedly walked out of the courtyard that Qin Niu came to his senses.
“I’ll come to your house in a couple of days. I’m afraid of causing you trouble right now.”
Qin Niu called out to her retreating figure.
“Mitin!”
She didn’t dare to stop or to look at Qin Niu.
All she wanted was to flee quickly, to avoid the awkward situation.
“Thank you for taking care of Xiao Qing for me. May I trouble you with her again tonight?”
“Mhm!”
She still didn’t turn around, but her body paused momentarily.
Inwardly, Qin Niu guessed that Xiao Qing must have seen some secret while helping her tidy up the room.
What could she be drawing? Cowherd and the Weaving Maid, or mandarin ducks? Or perhaps a pair of lovebirds?
A girl’s mind is the most complex.
A woman’s heart is as unfathomable as the ocean’s depths; nobody knows what they truly think.
She was unlike an ordinary girl—having read various books since childhood and possessing strong convictions, her expectations for love were surely higher.
That evening, Qin Niu didn’t go into the mountains but took Xiao Qing to Miss Wang’s house before leaping onto the roof.
He sat cross-legged atop the roof, practicing the Everlasting Spring Technique.
The Pork of the Pig King had worked well, being that of a demonic beast, it contained considerable energy. After consuming it, his body absorbed the energy within. When he practiced the Everlasting Spring Technique, they transformed into the technique’s power.
However, the power of the Medicine King Sutra only grew through the absorption of medicinal qi.
