Those woods were all cut down from Qingmang Mountain. Under normal circumstances, they need to be dried before they can be used, but Shen Yizhi doesn't have so much time to wait, so he uses artificial drying.

After a water collection spell was performed, several pieces of wood as thick as wooden barrels became extremely dry. Soon, someone transported the dry wood to the other side for processing.

It is so convenient to use magic to build houses.

However, this would also consume a lot of spiritual energy. Take Xia Ming for example, as a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual energy in his body would often be gone in less than a day.

In the past, he treasured his spiritual energy very much and was unwilling to use it easily, because it was very difficult to recover after each use.

Even if you only cast a simple fireball spell, it will take several days to recover the consumed spiritual energy.

Good steel should naturally be used on the blade, and spiritual energy is no exception. This is his means of saving his life, and he will not use it unless necessary.

But now, with the soul-restoring liquid provided by Shen Yizi, he can use it boldly and confidently. Even if his body is empty, a bottle of soul-restoring liquid can quickly replenish it.

In this cycle of consumption and replenishment, his use of spiritual energy became more and more skillful, and the spiritual energy in his body was also growing steadily.

When Dong Ming arrived, he saw Xia Ming happily working on the construction site and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Before coming here, she had imagined the situation of Xia Ming and others——

He was detained in a dark place, beaten and tortured every day, and his body was covered with bruises...

However, what she saw now was completely different from what she had imagined! Xia Ming and the others were not suffering at all, they were clearly enjoying it! If she hadn't confirmed it repeatedly, she would have really thought that they were collectively possessed.

Shen Yizhi, this woman, is indeed very evil! Dong Ming became more and more afraid to show up, fearing that he would follow in the footsteps of Xia Ming and others.

Just lying on the tree, observing secretly.

She is now in the form of a cat, with a breath-suppressing talisman pasted on her body, changing her appearance into that of an ordinary house cat, so most people would not notice it.

Dong Ming did not show up in front of Xia Ming and others. Seeing that they were fine, he quietly patrolled the village.

After a tour, she discovered that the spiritual energy in Lijiazhuang was actually richer than anywhere else.

Flowers and medicinal plants can be seen everywhere, growing well and looking full of vitality, probably due to the nourishment of spiritual energy.

The streets are clean and tidy, and the villagers passing by look very energetic, unlike the dull and sad look in other places.

The children were playing games happily under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, looking carefree.

This place was like a paradise, so beautiful that it seemed unreal to her.

She couldn't help but slow down her pace and stroll leisurely in the village.

Suddenly, an extremely tempting fragrance entered my nose.

Dong Ming followed the scent and came to a rather imposing house.

The plaque on the gate reads "Shen Family" in large characters.

Is this where Shen Yizi lives?

The closer they got, the more alluring the fragrance became, making Dong Ming feel itchy.

As she was hesitating, a burst of hurried footsteps approached rapidly.

She subconsciously jumped up the tree and stared down at the two children running towards her.

A man and a woman, both of them have exquisite looks, are dressed cutely, and are clean, looking very pleasing.

These two people are naturally Qing Bao and Nian Nian.

The two kids played wildly outside for the whole morning and ran back when it was time for dinner.

"Mom, is the meal ready?" Qing Bao ran in.

Nian Nian paused, looked up at the tree, and met Dong Ming's eyes.

"Cat?" Nian Nian walked over and tilted her head to look at the tree.

For some reason, Dong Ming felt a sense of threat from her. She was obviously just a soft, cute and pretty little girl.

"Come down." Nian Nian stretched out her hand and made a light grab towards Dong Ming.

Dong Ming licked his paws proudly. If you ask me to come down, I will come down? Wouldn't that make me lose face?

However, his body fell uncontrollably and was caught by the little girl in her arms.

Dong Ming: Meow meow meow? What happened? She struggled, but was suppressed by Nian Nian with a slap, "Don't move, or I will eat you."

Eat, eat her? Dong Ming's face was filled with horror. This little girl was so cruel!

Not only is he cruel, but he is also evil! He is indeed the son of Shen Yizhi.

It's such a small creature, but it can cast spells and has such great strength. It's simply unscientific!

She was held in her arms and couldn't move.

Of course, if she also used a big move, it would be easy to escape, but wouldn't she be exposed? She is now an ordinary white house cat, she must always remember her personality!

Of course, the most important thing is that the smell coming from the Shen family’s yard is getting more and more fragrant, so fragrant that the cat is doubting its life.

After a moment of hesitation, Dong Ming was carried in by Nian Nian.

"Huh? Nian Nian, where did the cat come from?" Shen Yizi reached out and touched it.

Dong Ming almost got furious, but he managed to hold himself back.

However, looking at Shen Yizi from a close distance, he was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

She is very pleasing to the eye and her scent makes people feel comfortable.

But she had no cultivation at all, and looked like a mortal. But was it possible? Could a mortal keep Xia Ming and the others here, and make them willingly work for her? Obviously, it was impossible.

Unless there is a hidden master behind her.

Thinking of this, Dong Ming became more cautious and became an ordinary house cat.

When Qingbao looked over curiously, she meowed softly at him.

So Qingbao also joined the cat-stroking camp.

Luo Yaoyao has been busy working as a supervisor for Shen Yizi recently, giving orders and making decisions on the construction site, but she still comes back at mealtime.

As soon as I stepped into the house today, I saw two kids petting the cat.

That cat...seems a little unusual.

Luo Yaoyao stared at Dong Ming for a while.

Feeling the gaze from the boss, Dong Ming trembled, gritted his teeth, rolled on the ground, and chased his tail in circles.

Just like a real cat.

After noticing that the boss's eyes had shifted away from him, Dong Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect that Shen Yizhi actually has a close relationship with this person.

"It's time for dinner. Stop playing with the cat and go wash your hands." Shen Yizhi brought out a rectangular frying pan, placed it on the hot pot rack that had been set up on the table, and said to the two kids.

Qing Bao immediately let go, put her little hands on the edge of the table, and stood on tiptoe to look into the pot, "Mom, it smells so good, what is this?"

"Grilled fish, you little greedy cat." Shen Yizi pinched his little nose.

The grilled fish uses a whole large carp, as long as an arm. It is first cut into two halves from the middle but still connected together, fried in a pan until slightly charred, and then put into soup to cook. When the fish meat is cooked, various side dishes are added to the soup.

Green vegetables, vermicelli, tofu, thousand sheets...

It's a kind of fish hotpot.

The fragrance that Dong Ming smelled before was from the grilled fish. Now that the fish was brought out, she felt like her nose was about to fall off from the fragrance.

I want to eat it so much...
