Seeing the two beasts reconcile, the Houzang was quite relieved, but the one who deserved punishment still had to be punished.
Although he didn't particularly like the smell of chicken manure vine, it was still a staple food, and it was a real shame to waste it.
Therefore, he looked seriously at Suzaku Mai and the Black Warrior.
"To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue, but since a mistake has been made, one must accept the punishment. Do any of you have any objections?"
Upon hearing this, both beasts shook their heads to indicate that they had no objection.
Upon seeing this, the Houzang immediately announced the punishment.
“You two beasts trampled the grain and ruined Luo Luo’s hard work, so you will be punished by assisting her until the grain is grown.”
In Qin Luo's view, this punishment was deliberately inflicted by the Hou Jiang to protect the two beasts.
But in the eyes of Suzaku and the Black Warrior, it was as if the Hou Jiang had abandoned them.
As a member of the beast realm, not being able to fight against the demons alongside everyone else is no different from being expelled from the beast realm.
Seeing that the two beasts had their heads down and remained silent, the Hou Jiang didn't dare to say anything harsh.
After simply instructing them to obey Qin Luo's orders, he turned and left.
As Suzaku and the Black Warrior watched his departing figure, they could no longer hold back their tears and cried out in a heart-wrenching manner.
Qin Luo and the two little ones were completely dumbfounded.
"What's wrong with them? They don't want to be my assistants, but they don't need to cry like this, do they?"
"It shouldn't be because of that. Maybe the pain from her injuries is too much, which is why she's crying?"
"Ah, let's go check on them quickly. Sister Xuanwu is alright, her shell is quite hard, but Sister Zhuque is in a bad situation. With all that fur, she probably won't be able to withstand any damage."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo and Tengteng felt that what she said made a lot of sense, and they ran towards the two beasts.
Upon closer inspection, they were seen crying so hard their faces were contorted, while Suzaku Dance was relatively unharmed.
She was originally a bird, so her five limbs are quite defined; even if she were ugly, she couldn't be too ugly.
The Black Warrior was much uglier, with small, beady eyes, a flat nose, a large mouth, and a wide face.
Not only was her howling excessively loud, but a quick glance was enough to see the back of her throat.
The three men rushed forward and helped her up.
"Stop kneeling, stretch out your hands, let me show you."
After Qin Luo finished speaking, without waiting for Zhu Quewu and the Xuanwu warrior to reply...
The two little ones each grabbed one and began to examine it carefully.
"Luo Luo, show it to Sister Wu first. She's lost a lot of hair."
"Yes, boss, you should check on Sister Wu first. Sister Shi is fine. I checked her and there are no cracks on her body. Her shell should be okay."
The two beasts, however, looked utterly defeated, as if they had become indifferent to everything.
"No need to show me, it'll just be a useless beast in the future anyway..."
"If she doesn't look, I won't look either. From now on, I'll just farm every day and won't have to fight the enemy. This little injury is nothing to worry about."
After they finished speaking, they continued to wail, as if they had countless grievances in their hearts with nowhere to vent them.
Qin Luo poured a handful of pills into each of her two open mouths, finally calming the surroundings down.
"Do you two look down on farmers that much? Do you know the importance of logistical support? Without the food we grow, even a domain lord couldn't survive."
"Impossible, the Domain Lord has long since practiced abstaining from grains."
"Yes, there are some elders who no longer need to eat; it's just that we younger ones can't stand the hunger."
Although Qin Luo didn't know whether Hou Jiang needed to eat, she still knew the basic theory.
"Then let me test you two. How do the domain lords and elders maintain their energy without eating?"
"Of course, it's about absorbing the essence of the sun and moon."
"Yes, you can also go into seclusion to cultivate and nourish yourself with magic."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo raised his hand and pointed upwards.
"Where is the sun and moon here? Moreover, the God of the Universe sent the Beast Realm here to guard it, not to cultivate. How can they go into seclusion to nourish themselves with magic?"
The two beasts were speechless at her question, but their expressions still betrayed their resentment towards farming.
Qin Luo had no choice but to explain the Hou Jiang's intentions to them.
"You are the hope of the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise clans, which is why the Domain Lord has asked you to follow me. Firstly, so that there will be no food shortage after I pass away, and secondly, to ensure that you two will not be harmed by the Demon Clan."
Before the Black Warrior could understand, Suzaku Dance had already begun to ask questions in return.
"But we came here to fight against the demons. If we can't go to the battlefield, we might as well stay in the beast realm."
Qin Luo disagreed with her statement.
“There are many ways to fight against the demons, and ensuring that everyone has enough to eat is one of them. I think the reason the Domain Lord asked you to come along is to let you see the cruelty beyond the Beast Realm.”
"To see the cruelty beyond the beast realm? Why?"
"Of course, it's so that you can see the cruelty of the demon race, mature your minds faster, and be more reliable when you become the leader of a race in the future."
"But I still want to go to the battlefield. Last time, we were well protected and never stepped out of the beast realm..."
Qin Luo understood her regret, but given their personalities, they really weren't suited to going out to fight the enemy.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. What you two need to do now is to heal your injuries first. Once we have grown enough food, the Domain Lord will have no excuse to stop us."
Upon hearing this, the two beasts felt as if a door to a new world had been opened.
"What you said makes sense. Then show it to me quickly."
"Yes, yes, I want to see it too."
As they talked, they extended their arms towards Qin Luo, only to have them slapped back by him.
"After taking so many pills, your injury has long since healed. What are you still looking at? It's a waste of time. Get up and tidy up. Let's dig out this piece of land first."
The two beasts had no choice but to awkwardly get up and brush the mud off their bodies.
