"Stop fucking howling."

With a fierce shout from Qin Shou, Yun Anran stopped crying.

Qin Shou quickly took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which he had prepared more than ten years ago.

"What is this?" Yun Anran glanced at it.

"An IOU," Qin Shou said calmly. "You borrowed ten jars of Enlightenment Wine from me, and now with interest, it's thirty jars. Sign it."

"What?! "

Yun Anran blinked, thinking she had misheard.

"Paint."

Qin Shou pushed the paper in front of Yun Anran.

"I don't. "

Yun Anran shook her head decisively, her small hands tightly clasped behind her back.

Are you kidding me? Thirty jars of Enlightenment Wine, how am I supposed to repay that?

Aside from leaving one jar for his junior brother, he used the rest to woo girls. There's no more Enlightenment Wine left; just an empty jar.

brush!

Just then, Yicheng, who was playing in the mud in the yard, moved.

The chubby boy moved with lightning speed, leaping behind Yun Anran, grabbing his little hand, biting it, and then slamming it onto the paper.

"Master Goose just told you to sign it, why are you making so much noise!"

"Don't you even know how to sign a document? You need this clever little goose to teach you?"

"Honestly, you're so stupid."

Yi Cheng grumbled and gave Yun Anran several disdainful looks.

Aba aba!

Yun Anran blinked, looked at her little finger that had almost been bitten off, then at the IOU with her fingerprint on the table, and reached out to grab it, but Qin Shou slapped her across the face, smashing half of her hand.

Qin Shou glanced at him disdainfully and silently put the IOU back into his pocket.

You little brat, you think you can get away with not drinking here? You're so naive.

"Waaah~"

Yun Anran was dumbfounded.

She blinked her big, helpless eyes and looked at the master and apprentice.

At that moment, he was absolutely certain that he had entered a den of robbers.

This compounding interest... it's absolutely ruthless!

"Come here, Brother Yun."

Qin Shou beckoned and led Yun Anran into the small dark room, where he took out the recording stone.

After a while...

A wisp of sword light rose up.

Yun Anran, disheveled and weeping, left.

Before leaving, Qin Shou patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "Brother Yun, don't cry. There's no hurdle in life you can't overcome."

"Look at you, you're a powerful cultivator at the Integration Realm. As long as you go out and work hard, and look for opportunities, you can still pay back your drinking debts."

"By the way, if you haven't paid back the money for the drinks by the due date, I'll sell this recording stone to Zhou Xiansheng. Hmm... I've heard that the Luo Shen Dynasty is very powerful and wealthy. You slept with Luo Shen'an's fiancée, so I imagine he'll be quite interested in this recording stone."

“Wow——??(?′(00)`?)??”

Upon hearing this, Yun Anran howled even louder.

"I'm going to make money!"

The sword flashed like lightning, flying away from the mountaintop as if fleeing.

Qin Shou watched Yun Anran's departing figure, then withdrew his gaze, took out the IOU, and added a zero to the blank space he had prepared beforehand.

"Hmm... 300 jars of Enlightenment Wine should be enough for him to work for me for 3000 years, right?"

Qin Shou stroked his chin and began to ponder.

He was thinking about whether he should lend money to cultivators on the mountaintop.

However, this idea was quickly rejected; it's best not to get involved in karma with people you're not very familiar with.

"Yi Cheng, you did a good job this time."

Qin Shou gave Yi Cheng a thumbs up.

"Goose, goose, goose..."

Yi Cheng laughed heartily, hands on her hips.

"Master, you didn't know just now, but the goose was almost completely astonished by its wit."

Yi Cheng widened her small eyes and gestured exaggeratedly.

My senior sister once said that we should be loving towards our family members and consider the circumstances when dealing with outsiders.

This person never brings any good food for himself and Black Rabbit when he comes, and he always steals a lot of things from his house. He even stole Da Bao's bamboo. He's an outsider among outsiders, so there's no need to be polite.

"Really? You're so clever. Here, have a bag of cookies as a reward."

"Huh! Thank you, Master!"

Yi Cheng happily widened her little eyes, and solemnly held up her hands to receive the cookie.

At the same time, I really wanted to catch up with that person, bring him back, and make him sign the papers a few more times.

She shared her clever idea with her master, but it was rejected. Qin Shou said, "Fine, let's give him a chance. After all, we're a kind master and disciple."

"Hee hee hee, Master is so kind!"

"Hmph, that's right, otherwise your master wouldn't have selflessly fattened you up so much."

"Holy crap! Master, what you said is so true! Master is truly amazing! The kindest, most compassionate master in the world."

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right."

......

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Shou's cultivation level is improving day by day, and he is not far from reaching the second level of the Integration Stage.

The biggest event that happened on the Tianxuan Continent in the past five years was the appearance of the legendary tomb in Beiju Luzhou.

A deep abyss rift extending from the earth split the entire Northern Continent in two. It was caused by a sword light that seemed to have emerged from the earth several years ago. The lingering sword energy permeated the abyss rift, preventing countless powerful cultivators from getting close.

Several powerful cultivators at the Integration Realm once ventured into the abyss to seek their fortune, only to be shattered into dust by the lingering sword energy as they approached the fissure.

There was nothing else they could do but wait until the lingering sword energy dissipated or its power diminished to a level they could withstand.

Over the years, countless cultivators from the Upper Realm have descended to the mortal world every so often. Among them are countless powerful beings at the Integration and Tribulation Transcending Realms, and it is said that there are quite a few descendants of Immortal Lords.

There are even rumors in the mortal realm that an immortal from the upper realm risked everything to descend to the mortal world and mingle within this great tomb, willingly severing his own cultivation.

In short, with the discovery of this great tomb, the entire cultivation world has been gripped by a sense of urgency, as if a storm is brewing.

However, no matter how the wind and rain blew outside the mountain, Qin Shou sat on the mountaintop admiring the flowers, drinking tea, cultivating, and beating up his children.

Yi Cheng and her friends spend their days patrolling the mountain, eating meat, sleeping, and occasionally cultivating for an hour or two. Sometimes they even slack off and only cultivate for half an hour.

Oh, by the way, they've also developed a new hobby: treasure hunting.

They spend all day with their treasure-hunting rats searching for medicinal herbs in the mountains and digging tunnels underground. Now, the entire wilderness is so interconnected that it's almost big enough for a train to run through, and even ants would get lost if they went in.

Qin Shou thought that if they kept digging like this, the entire wilderness would eventually be hollowed out by these little fools.

However, over the years, they have indeed found many treasures.

Even at the end of last year, they unearthed the tomb of a powerful being from the Middle Ages more than 2,000 meters underground, and obtained several spiritual treasures and many spiritual medicines and secret techniques.

"Yi Cheng, keep it up!"

"Warmth, keep going!"

"Oh! Oh!"

"Oh dear... what's wrong with Wen Qing? How come she can't even beat a mouse?"

On this day, Qin Shou had just returned from the back mountain when he heard Yi Cheng and a few others shouting in a low voice.

Warmth?

What warmth?

Qin Shou walked over and saw several chubby little guys squatting in the yard in a circle, directing two emerald pigs and a golden mouse in the middle to fight.

A jade pig raised its two hooves and stomped on it, but the golden mouse deftly deflected it and sent it flying.

You know what, this little mouse has gotten so fat from being fed by Fatty and his friends over the years, it's quite strong too.

These two Emerald Pigs were the two cubs that Yi Cheng had found from Si Wu's family. At the time, it was said that one was for her senior sister and the other was for herself. So, over the years, these two cubs have been raised on the mountain in Yi Cheng's room, and they are forbidden to eat.

Sometimes Yicheng would even hold them and pull them into bed to sleep, telling them stories.

Qin Shou knew that this kind of spirit pig was considered a delicacy in the pig world. The reason it was so expensive was that it required the use of spiritual materials containing spiritual energy, and that it had a very long breeding cycle. It would take at least thirty to sixty years for a piglet to grow to adulthood, and the meat was at its best at one hundred and twenty years, because the meat of this kind of pig would undergo a transformation at one hundred and twenty years.

"Yi Cheng, is this what you usually call these two pigs?"

Qin Shou was speechless.

Looking at the tags that the little guys had hung around the pig's neck, I felt a little strange. They read "One Orange" and "Warmth" respectively.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Yi Cheng remained squatting there, tilting her little head up, and asked.

"???"
