Chapter 110 Just kill me, there are over two thousand people in Xi! ...
Shu Xin suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. She opened her eyes, still a little sleepy, and vaguely felt that she was very tired. Then, the magical cat that had noticed she was awake started licking her hair.
The pulling sensation on her scalp quickly brought Shu Xin back to her senses. After sitting up and rescuing her hair from Daisy's mouth, Shu Xin realized that this intense feeling of fullness, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, was not her own true feeling, but rather a sensation transmitted through the contract.
...Xi is back? And he's already stuffed?
Shu Xin was speechless, but also relieved. She realized that Xi was quite useful when he wasn't around. If he hadn't been able to return before the harvest month, Shu Xin's plans would have had to be changed. To be honest, Shu Xin had a certain amount of trust in Xi's abilities.
Lying back down, Shu Xin prepared to continue sleeping; it wasn't even dawn yet! Xi had at most returned to this world, not to the Land of Sin. Shu Xin yawned, thinking that she could ask the Tree of Life for information about the Demon Realm next time, then closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
The next day, after breakfast, Shu Xin waited on the terrace for Xi and the "warriors who could be used as cannon fodder" he mentioned, while using illusion magic to simulate the possible routes of the monsters from the outer continent.
They waited until noon, and Shu Xin had already drafted a preliminary version of the Harvest Month patrol plan before Xi led a large group of people out of the Land of Sin amidst billowing dust.
Carried by the magical cat through the pure white wall materialized by the magical barrier, Shu Xin was almost covered in sand. Looking at Xi and the crowd behind him, she doubted her eyes—none of them were fat, so how did they manage to raise so much dust? There were no magical fluctuations in the air, and they hadn't used wind magic to travel.
Whether men or women, they were all wearing helmets covering their faces and full-body armor. Or was it simply because the armor was too heavy? But how heavy must that suit of armor be to kick up billowing yellow sand that could be seen even through the defensive barrier?!
If it weren't for the wrong color, Shu Xin would have thought that a monster from another continent had attacked!
Xi seemed quite self-aware, flying awkwardly high in the sky. Only when he saw Shu Xin looking at him did he fly over.
Somewhat awkwardly hovering in front of the Flower Fairy, Xi glanced at the magical cat whose size had increased countless times, then rubbed his hands together and said meekly, "Well, how should I put it, something unexpected happened, Shuxin... I originally planned to bring at least tens of thousands of people with you... but I didn't expect everyone..." He gritted his teeth, "...that is, they had this and that concern... so I only brought less than three thousand people..."
Shu Xin almost choked on her breath—
Is this even human language?! Huh? Tens of thousands? Less than three thousand? All the flower fairies in the Land of Sin combined don't even number two thousand right now!
Has this guy even considered how he's going to feed, drink, and sleep over two thousand people?! Xi himself doesn't need to use the toilet, but Shu Xin doesn't think that none of the people he brought with him need to use the toilet either. The toilet problem is a huge issue! Not to mention, before he left, he threatened to "kill you" if she didn't treat them all equally in terms of food and shelter. Shu Xin is so angry she could laugh!
More than two thousand people, more than two thousand people, more than two thousand people, ah!
She said expressionlessly, "Kill me, Xi."
Xi didn't dare to look up, her voice growing softer and softer: "What did you say, Shuxin... How could you say that... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
An enigmatic silence enveloped the flower fairy and the half-succubus, making the already somewhat loud whispers from below even more amplified—
"I'm so hungry, Bluehorn! Why can't I eat the dirt on the ground? Can I eat the energy clusters in front of me? The black and shiny things flying up there smell so delicious...slurp..."
“I know why. Xi said before he left that I wasn’t allowed to eat anything without his permission. Bluehorn, is it really true that I can’t eat anything? Can I lick it? It smells really good.”
"No! You two, shut up!"
"Why should I shut up? Can I eat a few hybrids? Surely I can eat the hybrids, right? I'll eat the small ones and leave the big ones for Xi! If that still doesn't work... I can eat myself, right?"
"Shan, your mouth is watering, that's why Bluehorn told you to shut up. I want to eat too, Shan, I want to eat your ears, I want six, I want to grind my teeth."
"Okay, then I want to eat the tip of your tail, Black Feet. I only want the tip of your tail. Don't cut off the whole tail like last time. I don't want it. It's too prickly."
"Hey! You two! Shut up!"
Looking at the half-succubus in front of her, whose head was practically drooping to her chest, Shu Xin smiled enigmatically: "Xi, don't you think you need to explain yourself?"
There was so much to explain that Xi found it difficult to articulate. In the end, he said dryly, "They are all very capable fighters, very strong and brave warriors. Really, Shuxin, I'm not lying to you!"
Is it a question of whether to lie or not now?! Shu Xin pinched her brow, about to speak, when she heard the "whispering" below continuing:
But now I only have two ears, and black feet, what should I do?
[...I don't know, I don't have a tail anymore either.]
"Didn't I tell you two to shut up?!"
[Blue Corner, I didn't say anything.]
[Blue Corner, I didn't say anything either.]
"..."
Silence, an enigmatic silence.
Xi's head drooped lower and lower, and her usually upright back seemed to be bent over.
Shu Xin was at a loss for words, wiping her face before finally asking, "Can they drink leafy green soup?"
Right now, the only thing that's filling is the soup. She adds some salt, delicious mushrooms, acorn powder, and chopped wheat husks. If there's not enough wheat husks, there are grass leaves; if there's not enough grass leaves, there are tree leaves. At least it's enough to satisfy her hunger. She also needs to stock up on acorn bread for the flower fairies during the harvest month. A palm-sized acorn bread is enough for three flower fairies for a day. But if it's those tall, muscular warriors below, Shu Xin has no doubt they could devour five loaves of bread in one meal! Probably not even five!
Wait, surely the Sun Spring wouldn't be drunk dry? Shu Xin didn't know that with over two thousand people, if each person only had green leaf soup for one meal a day, that would amount to over two thousand bowls of soup, and she had never run a canteen before!
Xi quickly raised her head: "They eat everything!"
Shu Xin had already figured it out. Even she ate it, but it wasn't that she ate everything. When Xi drank the bitter wheat soup, she didn't even flinch. However, this also showed that the so-called warriors that Xi brought had extremely strong self-recovery abilities. Damage like cutting off ears or tails was as easy for them as clipping nails or hair for humans.
"Do they need to use the toilet?" Shu Xin continued, explaining, "It's about excretion. Some living beings can't fully digest food or absorb all the energy, so they need to expel food residue. The toilet is where they can excrete. Xi, do these 'people' you brought need to use the toilet?"
Xi was stunned: "Huh?"
The steady voice that had been trying to stop the whispers came through: "[Xi, Shan, Blackfoot, and I don't need to, but the intermediate and low-level hybrids do need to go to the toilet...]"
Is this some kind of telepathic communication? Or perhaps mental communication? Shu Xin wasn't quite sure, nor was she sure why she could hear it. What was even stranger was that not only could she hear it, she could also understand it—now that she thought about it, was the language of this world really English as she understood it? The language of the river elves was clearly Elvish, and the intricate, ornate script in Shu Xin's memory couldn't possibly be English pronunciation, could it? Besides, was her English really that advanced?!
It must be a language pack cheat code given by a time-traveling god... That's all Shu Xin could think.
Xi, who also heard the telepathic message, looked bewildered and helpless. Shu Xin looked at him and found it amusing; this guy probably had never even considered going to the toilet!
Xi spoke weakly, "Yes, it's necessary..."
Shu Xin suddenly felt refreshed and smiled, "You need to use the restroom, right? Xi, I'll leave the building of the restroom to you. Bring your people in."
Xi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately kept it shut, bearing the humiliation.
Although he didn't seem to say anything, Shu Xin could hear his telepathic message—
[Blue Corner, the task of building the toilets is now in your hands!]
The person called Blue Horn was probably the one with the most composed voice, and Shu Xin heard him calmly reply:
Whether they are low-level or mid-level hybrids, they will carefully dispose of their excrement to avoid revealing their aura and being discovered and hunted. I think the owner of this territory requested the construction of 'toilets' because he doesn't want excrement to be everywhere. Xi, I think this problem can be solved as long as a designated area is set aside and the hybrids are ordered to defecate only in that area.
This guy named Blue Corner is pretty clever, but his suggestion made Shu Xin unable to help but mentally complain – isn't this just an open-air cesspool?!
Xi hesitated for a moment, then finally replied: "Let me ask Shuxin later. I don't think this method is what Shuxin wants. No one is allowed to defecate until I figure out how to build the toilet!"
Blue Corner: [...Everyone hasn't eaten anything along the way, don't worry...]
Thankfully, Xi was sensible, and the pent-up anger in Shu Xin's heart finally subsided. While stroking the fur of the magical cat beneath her, she thoughtfully began to speak:
"There aren't many building materials in the Land of Sin to build houses for you. The wind has been too strong lately, so I've built quite a few underground houses for the flower fairies. You should also dig some caves for your people to live in. Your people seem to be quite wind-resistant. Until enough underground dwellings are built, they can make do sleeping on the ground for now. At night, they can sleep within the coverage area of the Tree of Life, where the wind will be less. But not during the day, as you are all too tall and big. I'm worried that you might frighten the flower fairies. By the way, I don't plan to arrange your dwellings under the Tree of Life. I hope you can understand for the safety of the flower fairies."
Xi nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand, I understand."
"I'll give you the blueprints for the toilet tonight, Xi. You need to give me the design blueprints for the underground dwelling by tomorrow at the latest, even a draft will do. Can you do that?" Shu Xin sneered, "If you can't, then just kill me."
The half-bloods who followed silently behind heard the pitiful voice of Nightmare, the half-blood known as the Lord of Nightmares, a powerful and tyrannical high-ranking half-blood, and the only remaining successor to the Demon King in the Demon Realm:
"I was wrong, Shuxin, I was really wrong, please forgive me, I beg you!"
