"Yuanbao is back!"

Qin Shou didn't feel anything when he looked at the fat man, but he was worried that his disciple would find it unpleasant to see him in the future.

Fourteen-year-old Yuanbao is already over 1.6 meters tall, much taller than Yicheng by a head. Now, Yicheng has to look up when standing in front of him.

However, the two pregnant women looked exactly alike; if they stood there, an uninformed person would think they were siblings.

Every time Qin Shou says Yuanbao looks more and more like Yicheng, he should pay more attention.

To everyone's surprise, Yuanbao burst into laughter, thinking that his master was praising him.

"Yes, Master, we're back."

Yuanbao nodded, bypassed the Qin beast, ran to Luo Yunyan, and conjured a flower from behind him. The flower had seven petals, each a different color.

"Sister Yunyan, these are flowers I saw in the mountains. I thought they were pretty, so I picked them for you."

Luo Yunyan shook her head. She didn't like flowers; she liked swords.

"La la la, I'm a beautiful little koi fish..."

Just then, Da Mei came skipping back from the back mountain, carrying a flower basket.

Da da da!

Yuanbao, holding the flowers in his hands, ran past Luo Yunyan and stood in front of Da Mei.

"Auntie Damei, these are flowers I saw in the mountains. I thought they were pretty, so I picked them for you."

"Ah! What beautiful flowers! Thank you, Yuanbao."

"Hehehe, Auntie Da Mei, you're welcome."

soon.

Then it was lunchtime.

On Turtle Mountain, everyone sat neatly at the dining table.

"Yuanbao, didn't your master tell you that this is the best time for you to cultivate? You should cultivate diligently and not always go out to play with your little aunt?" Qin Shou said, giving him a lecture.

"But Master, my junior aunt only cultivates for one hour a day, while I've been cultivating for several hours every day since I turned ten."

"You shouldn't always compare yourself to your junior aunt. She's a bit of a fool, but she's incredibly lucky. She gains energy even from eating, and now she can generate fifty or sixty million units of power with a single wave of her hand. Can you even compare?"

“Goose, goose, goose…” Yi Cheng put down her chopsticks and laughed loudly.

"Shut up," Qin Shou snapped. "Master isn't praising you. Master thinks you must cultivate for two full hours every day from now on before you can play."

"Goose...goose...waaaah~~~~, no, I'm already tired after cultivating for an hour every day, okay? Waaaaah~~~, Master, I don't want to cultivate for two hours!"

A small orange hand wiped away the tiny tears that had squeezed out of the corners of her eyes from her chubby face.

Practicing for two hours a day! That's terrifying!

"No more noise! ​​If you keep making noise, you'll be punished with two and a half hours of cultivation per day."

"No way, huh."

Yi Cheng sat on the bench with her arms crossed.

Hey, this little guy actually put on a stern face and threatened, "Master, if you keep forcing me, I... I won't eat! I'll go on a hunger strike! (；′⌒`) 。"

"Hey, that's great! It's a deal!"

Qin Shou immediately clapped happily and pushed the food in front of Yi Cheng's table next to Black Rabbit.

"Black Rabbit, eat more."

"Squeak, thank you, Master!"

"Eat fatty parts, they'll taste better when grilled."

“Squeak—d(?д??). ”

Black Rabbit's hair immediately stood on end, and she quickly pushed the food in front of her to Little Fatty.

"Master, I suddenly remembered that I'm on a diet today, so I'm not eating."

Black Rabbit looked distressed. "I'm a veteran of Turtle Mountain, why does my master still want to eat me?"

"Hehe, I'll eat, I'll eat! I, the King of Koi, am not afraid!"

Little Fatty happily gathered all the food on the table around himself, his mouth practically splitting into a wide grin.

"Haha, Uncle Black Rabbit, don't worry, Grandmaster is just teasing you."

Fourteen-year-old Yuanbao has not only grown physically, but his IQ is also increasing.

It's one thing if he's the same size as Yi Cheng, but if he's also as intelligent as Yi Cheng, then Xiao Xuan would really be crying his eyes out at the foot of the mountain.

"Really? "

The black rabbit opened its big, silly-looking eyes.

"real. "

Yuanbao nodded.

So the black rabbit ate without worry.

Because in his heart, Yuanbao's words were still very credible.

The fact that Yuanbao has become increasingly intelligent over the years is proof enough.

"Little Martial Aunt, promise me you'll fast for two hours, okay? You can eat more after the banquet tonight."

At this moment, Yuanbao turned to face Yicheng again.

"Huh? Yuanbao, are you having another banquet tonight?"

Yi Cheng turned her head and blinked her little eyes at Yuan Bao.

"Because I broke through to a higher realm yesterday."

Yuanbao is now at the second level of Foundation Establishment.

With the innate primordial purple energy cleansing his body, coupled with his bloodline, talent, and countless resources, reaching the second level of Foundation Establishment is already considered low.

However, if one's foundation is solid, it doesn't matter if one's realm advances a little slower. After all, time is slow, so there's no rush.

"Wow! Yuanbao is really amazing!"

Yi Cheng jumped up.

Over the past decade, Yuanbao has broken through a new level almost every year and held a banquet every year.

Even those in the Qi Refining Realm who break through to the next level insist on throwing a banquet.

The little guy was influenced by his junior aunt when he was young and became very enthusiastic about hosting banquets.

"Hold a banquet! Hold a banquet!"

Little Fatty and Black Rabbit clattered happily with their bowls and chopsticks.

"You're so rude, little sister. Eat your food properly."

Da Mei took out a ruler and scolded him.

Ten years have passed. As Da Mei has grown wiser, she has also grown taller, looking like an eight or nine-year-old girl next door, with two ponytails and wearing pretty little clothes. She looks beautiful all over.

Her beauty also exudes a sense of tranquility and elegance.

"Okay, sister."

The chubby boy pouted and started shoveling rice into his mouth.

Ten years have passed, but Little Fatty remains true to his original aspiration, running all over the mountain every day wearing a red bellyband.

Like her, Black Rabbit and Yi Cheng also remained true to their original aspirations.

"Huh! The goose needs to eat its fill now so we can have a feast tonight, right, Yuanbao?"

Yi Cheng smiled and raised her little face to ask.

"right. "

Yuanbao nodded emphatically.

"Hachihachihachi..."

Soon, the little ones forgot what Qin had just said and went back to eating happily as usual.

......

After lunch.

On Turtle Mountain, two fat and two plump creatures lay neatly under the eaves, basking in the sun.

They were all lying down according to their weight, with the person with the biggest belly enjoying the sunniest spot.

They are Yuanbao Dafei, Yicheng Zhongfei, Heitu Heipang Youdianfei, and Xiaopang Xiaopang.

Even when they were lying down, they moved in the same way, patting their bulging bellies from eating too much, their lips turned up and pursed, revealing a happy and satisfied smile.

"Yuanbao, how come you've grown so fast?"

The group then began their post-dinner chat.

"Um...um...Little Martial Aunt, I'm just growing up normally."

Yuanbao answered.

"What! Are you saying it's abnormal that the goose hasn't grown up yet?"

Yi Cheng sat up abruptly, her little face turning serious. "Apologize right now!"

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister."

"Speak louder."

"I'm so sorry, little nun!!!"

"Hmm~ o(*￣▽￣*)o, I forgive your inexperience."

Yi Cheng lay down contentedly and continued patting her little belly.

Then they would chat with Little Fatty and Black Rabbit, looking for loopholes to find fault with each other, in order to solidify their reputation as the leader of the Four Scoundrels of Turtle Mountain.

........

Under the peach tree, the petals glistened.

Occasionally a gentle breeze would blow, causing petals to flutter and fall onto the hem of Qin Shou's drooping robe.

At this moment, the immortal on the mountain was lying on a bamboo chair under a tree, covering his face with a fan, and falling into a light sleep.

"Master, Master, I broke through to a higher realm last time, but you still haven't returned the Wishing Pearl to me."

Just then, Little Fatty came running over and stood in front of Qin Shou.

Qin Shou opened his eyes and looked at the fat koi. His sparse, furrowed eyebrows seemed to have a touch of sadness on them.

"oh. "

Qin Shou gave a weak "Oh," and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and talk to your ancestor and ask him to return the Wishing Pearl to you."

With that, Qin Shou closed his eyes again and fell into a light sleep.

After a while.

"Master, is it ready yet? Has the ancestor promised to return my pearl?"

Little Fatty couldn't wait to ask.

Qin Beast did not respond.

A while later.

The chubby boy tugged at his little finger and shouted:

"Master, Master, has our ancestor returned my precious pearl?"

"Don't make a sound."

Qin Shou opened his eyes. "I'm communicating with your ancestor using divine sense, which is very mentally taxing. If you wake me up, all my efforts will be wasted. You see, this time I not only expended a lot of mental energy, but you also woke me up halfway through, losing the opportunity to communicate with your ancestor."

"Oh, sorry, Master, I'll keep my voice down."

Little Fatty lowered his voice and whispered.

The voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Okay, just stand here and don't leave. I'll tell you after I've discussed it with your ancestor," Qin Shou coaxed. "If you leave, your ancestor will be unhappy, and if he's unhappy, he won't return the Wishing Pearl to you, understand?"

"Okay, I understand." The chubby boy nodded obediently.

then,

Qin Shou closed his eyes again.

After a while.

snoring~

snoring~

"Master, are you asleep?" the chubby boy called out in a small voice.

The voice was so low that even the spring breeze would lean close to her ear to listen carefully again.

Snoring.. o○ Snoring.. o○ Snoring.. o○

The Qin beast's snoring grew even louder.

The afternoon always gives people a leisurely feeling.

It wasn't until an hour later that Qin Shou slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he saw Qin Shou open his eyes, Little Fatty happily scrambled up to him.

"Master, you're a kind person. How did your discussion with the ancestors go?"

The little fat boy's big eyes were full of expectation.

"Hmm..." Qin Shou pondered for a moment, "Originally, your ancestor was unwilling to return the Wishing Pearl to you, but after repeated discussions between me and your ancestor, he finally decided to return the Wishing Pearl to you first."

However, he also said that you were making wishes with the wishing beads too frequently, and sometimes even making random wishes, which made him very angry. Therefore, he said he would only return the wishing beads to you after you had washed dishes, swept the floor, and watered the cemetery for a year.

Qin Shou patiently and skillfully guided him.

Little Fatty's mouth dropped open. "Ah! A year is so long! Waaah~, Master, could you please talk to our ancestors properly? I promise I won't make random wishes next time. From now on, I'll only make two wishes every day, okay?"

"This...isn't that a bad idea? You know, every time I communicate with your ancestor, I have to pay a huge price."

"Waaaaah~, Master is so kind, please!" Little Fatty wailed.

Qin Shou sighed, "Well, alright, considering how pitiful you are, Little Fatty, and how obedient you've been this year, your master will spare some effort to have a little more talk with your ancestor."

If he still doesn't agree, I'll risk my life to make him return the Wishing Pearl to my little chubby boy, okay?

"Thank you, Master."

Upon hearing this, Little Fatty's big eyes sparkled, deeply moved.

then.

Qin Shou fell into a false sleep again.

snoring~

snoring~

snoring.. o○.. o○

Half an hour later, Qin Shou slowly opened his eyes, covered in sweat and looking very weak.

"Little Fatty, after much arguing between your master and your ancestor, he has finally agreed to lower his demands. If you wash the dishes, sweep the floor, and water the plants for a month, he can return the Wishing Pearl to you."

"Really? Master!"

The little fat boy immediately jumped up and down happily.

"Thank you, kind master!"

"Yes, you're welcome." Qin Shou nodded, then earnestly instructed, "Little Fatty, your master went to great lengths to get your ancestor to return the Wishing Pearl to you, so you must listen to your master from now on, understand?"

"Yes, yes, Master."

"Alright, since you've been so obedient, your master will expend some more cultivation and spiritual energy to discuss with your ancestor and ask him to give you the Wishing Pearl first. Then you can go wash the dishes, sweep the floor, and water the spirit garden."

"Yay! Thank you, Master! Long live Master!"

Little Fatty happily took off.

At that moment, she felt that there was no better master in the world than her master.

Qin Shou closed his eyes and opened them again, then presented a golden pearl to Little Fatty.

This time, the discussion took very little time, almost in the blink of an eye, but the clever little fat boy didn't feel anything was wrong.

"La la la, Master is so kind, King Koi thanks you!"

Little Fatty, holding the wishing pearl, happily went off to work.

My master treats me so well, so I must work hard this month.

"Heh, clear-headed stupidity, stupidity in its clarity."

Qin Shou chuckled and gently fanned himself with his folding fan.

The spring breeze is gentle, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

With nothing else to do, Qin Shou opened his friends list to pass the time.

Your apprentice Xiao Xuan is currently having a baby...

Your apprentice Xiao Xuan is having a baby like crazy...

Your apprentice, Xiao Xuan, is completely absorbed in creating babies...

"Idiot."

Qin Shou exited the interface, then clicked back in, asking, "Is he using the same artificial doll?"

"Hmm... no system notification. Garbage system, bad review."

[System:............Last time you called him "Daddy"]

Then, Qin Shou opened the Wenqing interface.

Qin Shou sighed, then carefully read through Wen Qing's message before exiting and opening Zhang Duan's interface below.
