The sudden mention of it startled Zhao Xi.
I accidentally flattened all the dough in my hand!
Is Han Yue challenging her authority as the head of the Hundred Beasts Garden?
In a flash of insight, it seemed I understood something.
Zhao Xi wanted to raise the corners of her mouth, but she lowered her head and continued kneading the dough, cleaning the flour stuck between her fingers.
The three sweet potato siblings saw that she didn't refute them, but was still leisurely kneading dough, spinning around on the ground.
They were afraid that the headmistress would lose her authority in front of so many pet owners and pups, so they rushed to protect her.
"No, the headmistress is a good person! We're doing very well now!"
"Why can't good people be powerful? Do you have to be a bad person to protect yourself?"
Pet owners from Wulingtang also said that the zoo is now very harmonious, and the monsters are wild.
Han Yue wouldn't reason with them; she kept saying they were naive and childish, and had been corrupted by Zhao Xi.
She wouldn't listen to reason, and I couldn't out-argue her with insults, so in a fit of anger I called her a madwoman.
Han Yue, however, became even more smug and burst into laughter.
Zhao Xi wanted to hand the dough to Afeng, but instead of questioning her, she said, "When I first came to the Hundred Beasts Garden, I buried several jars of wine on the mountaintop. They should be ready by now. Would you like to try some?"
Han Yue immediately agreed: "Okay, your cooking skills are reliable."
That's why it recovered so quickly – it was because it ate so many spiritually rich foods in the Beast Garden.
Several small huts were built on the mountaintop, much like the inns in Seven Star Town, with simple rooms, beds, and furnaces. With many cultivators from outside the mountain, there is always a need for alchemy and weapon crafting, so renting out these huts can generate additional income.
Atu built a small shop that didn't need anyone to manage, selling affordable spiritual plants and minerals, and also planted a willow tree.
The twisting willow branches can lift spirit stones and then hand over the goods the cultivators want.
If someone wants to buy rare treasures, Ah Feng will come to make the transaction himself.
With this income alone, the expenses of the pet owner's salary can be balanced, so Luo Haiqing doesn't need to go out again and again.
The surrounding towns are not peaceful these days.
As the defense array of the Hundred Beasts Garden was upgraded, the airspace above the main mountain rose by several hundred feet, so Atu built a stargazing tower specifically for Zhao Xi.
It takes quite a while to hike up.
However, she can use wind talismans.
By attaching a rope and letting the wind carry you, you can quickly reach the rooftop.
If you want to bring food up, you can simply put it in your ring, which is much more convenient than for ordinary people.
By the time she brought the food and several jars of wine from the kitchen to the rooftop, Hanyue had already flown up.
She leaned against the low wall railing, raising her hands high, feeling the refreshing breeze passing through her fingertips, a carefree smile on her face.
Zhao Xi spread a blanket on the ground, set up a square table and chairs, and placed stacks of snacks such as wine, peanuts, braised monster ears, braised tripe, and fried spiritual spring dried fish.
Then place two pairs of milky-white chopsticks carved from the front teeth of a rhinoceros and a crystal glass bowl on top.
After everything was arranged, another incense stick's worth of time had passed.
Han Yue watched quietly from the side, as if watching her arrange the tables and chairs was a pleasure in itself.
"As expected of you, you have a life, unlike those cultivators."
She strolled leisurely back to the table, sat down, picked up the wine jar, and removed the mud-sealed lid.
A strong, pungent aroma of Shaoxing wine wafted out.
"It smells so good."
She took the initiative and poured the wine into her and Zhao Xi's bowls instead of using wine glasses.
First, I offered Zhao Xi a bowl of wine.
"Dry!"
Zhao Xi wanted to drink a bowl, but her cheeks immediately turned red. She rested her chin on her hand and watched her bold actions. Suddenly curious, she asked in a slightly tipsy voice, "A demon cultivator who abstains from grains, you actually drink alcohol?"
“No, it shouldn’t have happened until I met my husband. He was a wild, untamed bird-of-paradise demon, and his colorful feathers hadn’t faded.”
bird of paradise?
Zhao Xi, munching on some snacks, said, "I heard that the Myriad Beasts Sect had already declined by then. The entire Lower Immortal Realm severely discriminated against demon cultivators, only accepting human cultivators. The Xuan Tian Sect probably wasn't very big, right? Now it doesn't even have a sect anymore..."
Han Yue recounted in detail: "Yes, I have always disguised myself as a human cultivator, hiding my identity in the sect and working hard to cultivate. Once, when I was exploring with my senior brothers and sisters, I thought the silly bird I caught was just an ordinary spirit beast and planned to feed it to the sect leader's wife's spirit pet. But it suddenly turned into a half-human, half-bird monster, and kept sticking to me, even performing the courtship dance of the birds of paradise in front of me."
Zhao Xi was surprised: "But then, wouldn't your identity be..."
"No, everyone in the sect just thinks this monster is hilarious and they all come to see me make a fool of myself. I try to avoid him all the time, but I always see him shaking his head and flapping his wings."
Han Yue recalled the past and chuckled softly, covering her mouth. "Later, he succeeded in winning her heart, and we soon had a child. Using the breathing chamber of the Xuan Tian Sect, I was able to lay an egg every month, and each egg would hatch into a little demon beast."
"But...won't others suspect something?"
"Yes. Sometimes they even steal bird eggs to feed their spirit pets."
Zhao Xi thought for a moment, unsure of what to say: "This..."
Han Yue didn't mind and smiled: "It's always inconvenient for demon cultivators to live with human cultivators. We've been together for a hundred years and have given birth to many birds of paradise and quite a few blue phoenixes. But demon beasts with spiritual roots are one in ten thousand."
Her smile froze, and her expression gradually became serious. "The trouble was sown here. At that time, someone took a fancy to my Qingluan, became sworn brothers with Sanlang, and gave him many Transformation Pills."
Zhao Xi was surprised: "Isn't the Crystallization Pill something Foundation Establishment cultivators take?"
