Chapter 101 Kill you, huh? Is he crazy?!
"You need more warriors, don't you?" the blond boy said, waving his hand to stop Shu Xin from speaking, and continued, "Not these precious darlings you've been carefully protecting, but warriors that can be sent out to their deaths, used as cannon fodder."
He stepped forward and stood side by side with the Flower Fairy on the terrace. From this angle, the lush fields and the vast training grounds were all clearly visible.
Today is a rest day. The training ground, which would normally be filled with patrol teams competing against each other, is now empty. Only small flags, created by illusion magic, are suspended in mid-air, making it look both quiet and lively.
With a soft chuckle, Xi turned to the flower fairy beside her: "No matter which one dies, you'll be very sad, won't you? You're such a soft-hearted person."
Shu Xin didn't think she was soft-hearted. She would try her best to train the flower fairy patrol team, but she wasn't naive enough to think that as long as they were trained, there wouldn't be any flower fairies injured or killed when facing the attack of the outer continent's magical beasts during the Harvest Month. If she were really soft-hearted enough, she should just dig a big castle underground and hide all the flower fairies inside during the Harvest Month, hiding until the Harvest Month was over before they came out.
However, Shu Xin did not deny that she would definitely be sad if any flower fairies were injured or killed. Even in the original world, she would feel sad when she saw news reports of innocent strangers dying, let alone the pure and kind flower fairies she had spent every day with.
However, Shu Xin knew very well that before she could completely eliminate the monsters from the outer continent, the harvest month, which came every five months, could not be avoided by hiding. Since the flower fairies were destined to go to the battlefield, all she could do was to make them as strong as possible before she was executed by the king.
"Are you in danger?" Shu Xin asked.
Xi immediately smiled sweetly: "Dear Master, thank you for your care~"
Shu Xin: "...Speak properly, and don't forget that we have a contract."
"Even without a contract, you would definitely still care about me~" the blond boy said sweetly.
Shu Xin rolled her eyes, didn't respond, and continued to ask, "So you're saying you're not in danger, right? Then what price do I need to pay?"
"The price? The price is that you need to feed them, Shuxin, if they can survive." The handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed boy transformed in the blink of an eye into a bewitching demon with black hair and golden eyes. He leaned slightly closer, whispering in the flower fairy's ear, his words sounding like a lover's promise, yet also like an enemy's curse, "You must treat them like your own people. You must give them food and shelter equally. You must grant them freedom and a future justly and fairly. Can you do that, my dear master?"
Shu Xin replied cautiously, "If they can abide by the law and earn their own living like the flower fairies, then I should be able to."
The black-haired demon spoke softly: "Of course, of course, they will certainly abide by the law and earn their own living, and you, my dear master, you must do it, you must be able to do it."
"If you can't do it," the half-succubus said with a gentle kiss on the flower fairy's ear, "I'll kill you, okay?"
Before she could finish speaking, the figure beside her vanished. Shu Xin turned her head and saw that the terrace was empty, as if Xi had never been there. Soon, Shu Xin realized that the mushroom house she had just placed on the table was also gone.
After a long silence, Shu Xin couldn't help but yell, "Is he crazy?!"
Having flown out of the land of sin and reformed her form, Xi picked up the mushroom house she had taken from Shu Xin's table and examined it with admiration.
This beautiful little house, completely made from mushrooms, made Xi marvel once again at Shuxin's meticulous attention to detail. Whether it was the wooden semi-circular house or the straw triangular house, both were breathtaking.
The large mushroom he's holding now has been meticulously hollowed out with five layers of space inside, each with ingeniously designed movable doors and windows.
Opening the small, round doors and windows, you can see that the four-story space from bottom to top is fully furnished with a complete set of furniture. In addition to the small, round tables, chairs, beds, and stools, there are also shelves on the walls with compartments for storage, and two square cabinets of different sizes against the wall.
Curious, Xi sent out a tentacle to explore inside and found that both cabinets could be opened. The small cabinet was empty, while the large cabinet had an extra stick that ran horizontally across the top, with several small triangular shelves hanging on it. Xi couldn't figure out what these things were for for a while—they must be useful, otherwise Shu Xin wouldn't have made them on purpose.
All of these pieces of furniture were meticulously carved from the stems of the fungus. Xi could almost picture Shu Xin holding that tiny magic wand, concentrating intently as she slowly released her magic.
The fifth floor, or top floor, is located inside the mushroom cap and is also the largest floor. There is nothing set up on this floor, which means that Shu Xin probably has other arrangements and plans. Xi thought that this five-story mushroom house must be for those tiny slaves to live in. Could this specially left fifth floor be a place for those little ones to play?
These five spaces are all connected by an exquisite spiral staircase, and even the floor of each space is engraved with a miniature garden magic circle!
The more she looked, the more jealous she became, and Xi felt wronged—what did those stupid blockheads do to deserve this?
Frustrated, Xi casually scratched a spatial rift with her fingernail, then threw a defensive shield onto the mushroom house before stuffing the things into the dimensional space, out of sight, out of mind!
Transforming back into its beast form, Xi stretched comfortably, kicked its legs, flapped its wings, and plunged headlong into the small shadow cast on the ground by the sunlight—the enormous fire beast, large enough to blot out the sky, smoothly merged into the less than an inch-long stone shadow.
The next second, Xi emerged from the shadows and appeared beneath the swaying grass. He flew into the air, looked around, found his direction, and once again plunged into the shadow cast by the grass.
Peeking out of the shadows time and again to find its way, the stream finally emerged from the tree shadows and landed in the shadow of the rolling mountains.
Looking back at the Garnar Plains, which were firmly sealed off by thick fog, the behemoth, its body enveloped in black flames, flicked its tail, raised its forelegs to carve out a spatial portal, and slowly walked inside.
