108 - King Amongst Bugs (2/2)

(T/N: 'Lan' meaning 'Blue', 'Xiao' meaning 'Little'. Used as a term of endearment, no actual meaning unless as a joke.)

Complicated names always have had a weird feeling when she spoke them out loud.

The little fella swayed its body again, and in the next moment, crawled up onto Jing Yunzhao's shoulder. It did its utmost to rub against her and sell its obedience.

The Jade Piece had mentioned before, that Xiao Lan was a spiritual bug brought back by the Old Ancestor from a strange world to the human world. It relied completely on absorbing medicinal properties to sustain its life, thus, it was also dubbed as the Medicine Bug.

Medicine Bugs also needed to eat, however. In the past, before Jing Yunzhao found out the existence of and entered her space, there were absolutely no medicinal herbs inside the space. Therefore, many of the bugs died of starvation. All the remaining bugs relied on the remnants of medicinal properties that were in the soil. Right now, whenever Jing Yunzhao planted her medicinal herbs, no one was happier than this bunch. Even though they were gluttons, however, they would never damage the medicinal field. Jing Yunzhao had single-handedly procured and established their daily necessities, so these little bugs were all very obedient.

After playing with Xiao Lan for a while, one person and one bug continued to practice their martial arts and study from the books. The whole scene was paradise on Earth; Extremely peaceful.

”Dad, it's not like I'm a detective, when was I so capable ah… Also… I've met Jing Yunzhao earlier, and she even flaunted her Ginseng in front of me. She said that when she went back, she would stew the Ginseng and use it as a beauty product…” Qiao Hongye spluttered.

When she finished, Qiao Weimin only felt anger and anguish, ”She really said that?”

Qiao Hongye nodded her head vigorously.

Qiao Weimin's face had begun to turn green. ”A prodigal person's plaything! That is something that's worth several hundred thousands! She would go as far as to use it for skincare?! Is she even worth it?! You too, didn't I ask you to follow her?! Now everything's just perfect! Such a good thing is actually going to be wasted by her…”
