Chapter 80 Renovating the Nutshell House: Sorry, Cat
The little lamb glanced at the magic cat lying obediently in the flower fairy's arms, jumped off the bed, transformed into human form, and easily picked up the magic cat with a single hand. Before Shu Xin could even open her mouth, the magic cat was thrown out the door.
The door slammed shut, and the next second the blond boy leaned closer with a resentful look in his eyes: "Darling, didn't you say you liked me the most in the whole world?"
Shu Xin pushed his face away, saying matter-of-factly, "Oh, I was just kidding. The only people I like most in the whole world are hardworking and honest laborers."
The magical cat, thrown outside, flicked its tail as if it were used to it; this had happened many times before.
With a twitch of its ears, the magical cat turned around, leaped up, and flew out of the corridor window, diligently patrolling its territory for its master.
After the Flower Fairy returned from the Magic Cat Market, the flower fairies also saw the magic cats that had been brought back.
Magical cats are quite common, but no one has ever seen one as pure black as this one. The aura emanating from this magical cat is exceptionally cold; even getting close enough makes the flower fairies feel uneasy.
This magical cat, which looks quite special, is very indifferent when it encounters flower fairies. It always keeps its distance from them, unlike ordinary magical cats that are warm and friendly.
A reckless fellow ignored his instinctive warnings and approached the magical cat whenever he saw it, not caring if it ignored him. In the end, he even dared to reach out and try to touch the magical cat's tail. Not only did he fail to touch it, but that very night he developed a fever. If his family hadn't fed him plenty of acorn wine, it's uncertain whether he would have been able to open his eyes the next day!
After that, the magic cat stayed further and further away from the flower fairies, and the flower fairies would also tacitly keep their distance when they saw the black magic cat.
Shu Xin was unaware of this. She was currently struggling with what kind of food to provide for the magical cat. The innkeeper had already said that this special magical cat wouldn't eat any magical materials. If it wanted to eat anything, it would only eat "the power of disaster" and "the aura of death," which was indeed a bit abstract!
Shu Xin tried providing the magical cat with some dark-attribute magical materials, and as expected, Daisy only sniffed them and didn't open her mouth at all. Shu Xin then thought of the Sun Spring, which Xi had described as "full of the smell of the dead," so she scooped some Sun Spring water for the magical cat. This time, Daisy was quite cooperative and lowered her head to drink quite a bit of water.
So far, the magical cat has only drunk one bowl of spring water a day—Shu Xin feels she has let the cat down.
Fortunately, Daisy seemed to be in good health. Although she could only drink water to fill her stomach after arriving in the Land of Sin, her body grew bigger and bigger in a completely unreasonable way, like an inflated balloon. If Daisy was just a small, dark shadow at the beginning, she could now be described as a huge, dark cloud!
If it weren't for the fact that the magical cat only leaves the Flower Castle to patrol its territory every night, Shu Xin would have worried that Daisy's appearance would make the flower fairies mistakenly believe that a magical beast from another continent had attacked...
Having learned from her previous experience of building a half-sized custom Poké Ball house, Shu Xin built the Nutshell House much faster this time. However, as she waved her magic wand on the terrace and built house after house, she seriously considered the issue of housing supply.
In the long run, it's not realistic for her to build houses for the flower fairy slaves on her own. Even with convenient and quick magical means to assist her, it's still not enough. After all, she's just one person. Right now, the number of flower fairy slaves isn't that large. She can work harder and spend more time building small houses, but what about in the future?
The number of flower fairy slaves in the Land of Sin will only increase—she had already told the slave traders at the Magic Cat Market that the Land of Sin would continue to buy slaves.
As the magical energy improves and the physical abilities of the flower fairy slaves increase, their size will inevitably grow larger. The tiny houses they used to live in will no longer be big enough. The flower fairy commoners will also face this problem in the future. Will she have to make all these houses by hand all by herself? Just thinking about it makes it unrealistic!
Shu Xin had considered asking the Tree of Life for a workshop blueprint to build a workshop specifically for constructing houses. However, houses couldn't just appear out of thin air; they required building materials, and what decent building materials could one find in the Land of Sin? The Tree of Life's withered branches were dwindling, and she couldn't simply dig up all the fine sand beneath it.
Even if Shu Xin disregarded everything and used tree branches and fine sand as building materials, she didn't think that would be enough.
It's important to know that the flower fairies, whether commoners or slaves, are all quite small in size. This is why the building materials used to construct houses and dwellings for them are not particularly large. However, in Shu Xin's plan, all the flower fairies will be restored to the size of flower fairies, which would require a much larger amount of building materials to construct houses.
Not to mention the flower fairies' incredibly powerful reproductive abilities...
Shu Xin had some vague ideas in her mind, but those were things to be planned for the future. Right now, she should hurry up and build the fruit shell house!
The humans, who were taken back to the Land of Sin along with the flower fairy slaves, woke up once along the way. At that time, Shu Xin was on the terrace, enjoying the breeze and modifying the fruit shells. She put the small wooden box containing the humans in the conference room and told Nonoli and Pengpengan to notify her if they saw the humans inside wake up. As luck would have it, Nonoli and Pengpengan were not in the conference room at that time. It was the magic cats that dutifully patrolled back and forth in the Flower Castle who discovered the awakened humans.
Seeing the magical cat carrying a wooden box in its mouth and walking onto the terrace, Shu Xin didn't react at first. It wasn't until she smelled a faint, unpleasant odor and remembered that there was a human locked in the small wooden box that she jumped up: "Daisy! Put that box down quickly!"
The magical cat obediently put down the wooden box and sat down gracefully, her long tail swaying behind her, her round, dark eyes full of curiosity.
Shu Xin felt that the faint odor in the air was becoming more and more obvious. She threw several cleaning spells at the wooden box before picking up the small wooden box on the table where the magic cat had been placed and looking inside through the observation window.
The human, who had been lying unconscious on the rattan mat, was now lying unconscious on the mound of earth, and unsurprisingly, a small patch of sand beneath him was wet.
...Poor guy, he really was scared out of his wits.
