"Haha, your senior master will forge you a huge spirit stone bed tomorrow!"

Qin Shou laughed heartily.

What do spirit stones matter as long as they make the little girl happy!

Even if it meant roasting the black rabbit to add to the festivities, Qin Shou wouldn't hesitate.

Black Rabbit: ...Listen to me, thank you!

"By the way, that black ball lying under the eaves eating a carrot is my master's rabbit."

"Let me tell you, my rabbit is incredibly clever. Not only can it chop wood, carry water, and grow vegetables, it can also break a boulder on its chest!"

Qin Shou explained.

"Really?"

Warm eyes conveyed disbelief.

"How about your senior master asks it to perform one for you?"

"Squeak—squeak—"

Upon hearing this, the black rabbit under the eaves took off running.

But Qin Shou grabbed him and pulled him back immediately.

"My little darling, will your uncle roast rabbit for you for lunch?"

"Ah—maybe not, after all, bunnies are so cute."

Wenqing took the rabbit and held it in her arms, gently stroking it.

"Squeak, squeak (Miss, you're so kind)"

Black Rabbit was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Qin Shou chuckled.

It's really interesting that you can understand what animals are saying...

......

At noon, Qin Shou showed off his skills by cooking more than a dozen dishes.

To this end, Qin Shou even specially captured several demonic beasts from the mountains to welcome Wen Qing and cleanse her of the dust of the journey.

"How was it? Was the food your master made delicious?"

"Hmm, it's so-so."

"It's just so-so, yet you're enjoying your meal so much?"

I'm hungry.

".........All right"

Sure enough, roasted rabbit meat was his specialty.

Qin Shou couldn't help but turn his gaze to the black ball lying on the threshold, leisurely munching on a carrot.

"Squeak—squeak—"

Upon seeing this, the black rabbit felt a bad premonition and, clutching the carrot, rolled out of the bamboo house with a "whoosh".

He shouted as he rolled:

"Da Mei, Xiao Pang, oh no! This scoundrel is going to eat me!"

"???"

"Dog... dog thief?"

"Is this about me???"

Qin Shou was visibly taken aback by Black Rabbit's words.

For a moment, I didn't react.

"You little black rabbit, I raised you to be all black, fat, and plump, and this is how you treat me?"

"What a beast! He's utterly heartless!"

Qin Shou muttered to himself.

Just then, he heard a crying sound.

Qin Shou snapped out of his daze, looked at Wen Qing who was clutching the bowl and chopsticks and sobbing, and asked anxiously:

"My dear, what's wrong with you?"

"Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"Is it because the food my senior brother cooks isn't good?"

"Tell your senior uncle, and he'll redo it for you, okay?"

Qin Shou's eyes were full of concern and questions.

"It's not that I'm a junior master; it's just that I haven't had such a hearty meal in a long time."

He shook his head gently, recounting his experiences over the past few years.

The mother and father entered a secret realm together in search of an opportunity, but ended up offending a prodigy. They were injured by him and he even sent people to hunt them down.

The father was beaten to death on the spot while trying to cover the mother's escape.

Although the mother escaped the secret realm, she was severely injured and died a few days later.

Before she died, she gave herself a map and a letter, instructing herself to escape to this place, to pay respects to her master and senior uncle, and to check if her junior uncle was still alive.

That year, Wenqing was nine years old.

He traversed a million-mile territory alone.

Along the way, she was cheated and beaten.

At first, she was able to use the little money her mother left her to travel through some big cities by teleportation arrays, but later she had to beg her way through.

Of course, she also received help from kind people several times, and one person even gave her a ride for a distance.

Otherwise, Wenqing felt that she might not have made it this far.

I can't see the place where my mother used to live either.

I won't be able to eat the meal my junior master cooked.

Okay, don't cry.

Qin Shou patted the little girl's head and comforted her gently:

"Don't worry, once you're with your senior uncle, no one will be able to bully you anymore."

"Furthermore, your senior uncle will also avenge your mother."

"Master Uncle, I will avenge my father and mother myself."

Wenqing raised her head, tears glistening in her large eyes, but even more so, a resolute expression.

Qin Shou was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, your senior uncle believes in you. From now on, you will cultivate with your senior uncle."

"Um"

He nodded warmly and emotionally.

"Uncle-Master, Mother's greatest regret is that she couldn't avenge Grandmaster and Grand Master Uncle even in death."

"Don't worry, your grandmaster and senior master will soon be able to avenge their grudge."

afternoon.

Qin Shou cleaned up the room where his senior sister used to live and let Wen Qing stay there.

"With the passage of time, the bamboo house has become somewhat dilapidated. In a few days, your master will rebuild a bamboo house for you."

Qin Shou said this.

"Okay, senior uncle."

"Alright, you've been through so much fear on the journey. Now that you're here with your senior uncle, get a good night's sleep. With your senior uncle here, no one will dare to harm you."

"Yes, thank you, Junior Uncle."

A warm and sweet smile.

......

night,

Qin Shou opened the envelope his senior sister had left for him.

Dear junior brother, it is as if we are meeting in person upon reading this letter:

Junior brother, if you can see this letter, your senior sister will be very happy, because it will prove that you are still alive.

Junior brother, your senior sister has successfully established her foundation, but she broke her promise and didn't go back to find you because she knows she's not strong enough yet.

Junior brother, it's because your senior sister is incompetent and unable to avenge your master and senior brother.

Junior brother, your senior sister is about to die. The journey is long, and your senior sister knows she will not be able to return.

Junior brother, your senior sister really misses you!

Every day since my senior sister left, I've worried about whether you've eaten enough, whether you're warm enough, whether you're old and alone, and whether you've been bullied...

Junior brother, I'm sorry. It's your senior sister who has failed to live up to Master's expectations and has not taken good care of you.

.........

Perhaps, perhaps you will never see this letter.

—A Gentle Message】

The envelope contained several hundred words, but Qin Shou read it over and over for an hour.

That night, the candlelight flickered slightly.

Qin Shou closed the envelope and placed it under his pillow.

"Senior sister, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xiao Qing'er."

"I will definitely avenge my master and senior brother."

Qin Shou secretly made a vow in his heart.

After calming himself down, Qin Shou began to examine the "Super Golden Core Gift Pack".
