After a hearty meal, Yi Cheng set her sights on the large black pot.
Qin Shou, of course, wouldn't let her have her way and promptly hid himself.
"Master, Master, can I give that big black pot to the goose?"
"cannot"
"Master, please make it too young!"
"No"
"Master, the goose is getting angry (ー`′ー)"
Snap!
"My disciple, calm down."
"Waaah~, Master, please, please give that big black pot to the goose! ·°(???﹏???)°·?"
Yi Cheng clung to Qin Shou's trouser leg, rolling around on the ground and howling like a banshee.
Qin Shou rubbed his temples, feeling a terrible headache. He regretted bringing out the pot.
"Go away, don't bother me. I'll give you back this pot after you've beaten up Da Bao."
"Good, good."
Yi Cheng patted his bottom and ran towards the bamboo grove, excitedly shouting as he ran, "Roar! Da Bao, come and fight the geese!"
........
The moonlight was bright and clear.
Qin Shou lay by the Fish-Calling Pond admiring the moon for a while before returning to his room to cultivate.
Today, Yicheng got hit by Dabao again. She pouted and hid under the covers, sulking. A strange, big black pot keeps swirling in her mind, going around and around...
"Coo coo"
As they circled around, Yi Cheng's stomach growled.
This guy is the kind who's never full.
Eat whenever you want, eat whenever you're hungry...
Squeak!
Yi Cheng, wrapped in her small quilt, tiptoed into the courtyard, lay down by the spirit pool under the old mulberry tree, and softly called out to it.
"Da Mei, Da Mei, can you conjure up some food for the goose?"
Glug! Glug!
Da Mei floated to the surface, transforming into human form. Standing beside the spirit pool, hands on her hips, she looked at Yi Cheng with an air of arrogance. "Hmph, why should I conjure up food for you? You used to want to eat me and my sister."
"So delicious, I need it spicy~, I'm starving for spicy~"
Yi Cheng blinked her little eyes, full of anticipation, "I'll never eat you or Little Fatty again!"
"Really?"
Da Mei jumped onto the large rock engraved with the words "Fish-Calling Pond," put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and looked down at Xiao Pang with her nostrils flared. "You swear!"
What is an oath?
"It's like raising your hand to the heavens and promising that you'll never again try to harm me or my sister."
"Oh, oh, I swear, I'll never eat tender or chubby spicy food again!"
Yicheng earnestly raised her little hand and solemnly swore an oath to the heavens.
You can tell she's serious just by looking at her eyes.
"Alright, seeing how sincere you are, if you beg me again, I'll turn into food for you."
"Please make it tender"
"I am the King of Lucky Koi"
"Please, I beg for a young, koi king!"
"Hmm <(￣︶￣)＞, Om Mani Padme Hum, making a wish to the ancestors............"
Da Mei held up the wishing pearl, and with a flash of light, a bowl of steaming hot rice appeared before Yi Cheng's eyes.
Wow! So beautiful, you're incredibly cute!!!
"Hmph, that's <(￣v￣)\/"
"Da Mei, could you make another bowl of braised pork for the goose?"
"no problem"
Da Mei waved her hand grandly, exuding great confidence, and chanted, "Om Mani Padme Hum, I make a wish to my ancestors..."
Buzz!
The space trembled, and a bowl of fragrant braised pork appeared in front of Yicheng.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
"Damn, you're so incredibly beautiful!"
Yi Cheng was envious, Yi Cheng admired, and Yi Cheng was drooling.
"So delicious, so delicious! We also want braised pig's trotters, steamed spare ribs, and roasted lamb chops..."
Yi Cheng made a crazy wish, and Da Mei fulfilled it all.
"Hmph, Yi Cheng, now you know how powerful I am!"
"I know, I know, you're so amazing! The rice you conjured up smells so good!!!"
While eating, Yi Cheng sincerely praised Da Mei.
Da Mei was even more pleased with herself after hearing this.
"Da Mei, will you still turn into rice to feed the goose in the future?"
"If you stop bullying Black Rabbit and stop pinching me and my sister, I'll turn into something you can eat."
"Hmm, the goose didn't bully the black rabbit, did it?"
Yi Cheng scratched her head. In her world, she was just playing with the black rabbit, except at the very beginning when she really wanted to eat it.
"You bullied me," Da Mei pouted.
"Goose...goose..."
"If you say you didn't bully me, I won't make you anything delicious."
"Goose...goose..."
What do you want to say?
"The goose bullied me."
"Hmph, that's more like it. If you bullied Black Rabbit, you have to admit it. My mother said that a good koi is one that corrects its mistakes."
"Yes, I know!"
Yi Cheng seemed to understand, but nodded frantically.
Da Mei is right.
........
The years that followed returned to peace. Qin Shou devoted himself to cultivation every day, and would often check on Wen Qing's condition to make sure she was still alive and kicking.
However, it must be said that the area down the mountain is really too dangerous.
Every time Qin Shou read about Wen Qing's experiences, his heart would pound with fear.
Today I'm being chased by monsters, tomorrow I'll be tricked by some human, and the day after tomorrow I'll be entering some secret realm, facing a near-death experience...
It's worth mentioning that Yi Cheng is living a more comfortable life on the mountain.
Since acquiring the power of the big black pot and Da Mei's wish-granting abilities, Yi Cheng no longer needs to carry a small hoe to work.
Because of one meal and many more, Yicheng and Damei became best friends.
Because they often fought with Da Bao, they eventually became "best buddies." Da Bao taught Yi Cheng how to climb bamboo, and Yi Cheng taught Da Bao how to use his little belly.
The two of them would often climb to the top of the bamboo, put their arms around each other's shoulders, and have a competition to see who could eat bamboo shoots faster.
When it comes to eating, Da Bao is equally impressive, but he's nowhere near as formidable as our Yi Cheng Jie.
And so, during Qin Shou's seclusion, Yi Cheng became the most carefree kid on the mountain.
They have food to eat and things to do every day.
Occasionally, they would take Da Mei and Black Rabbit on patrols, raid beehives, sneak piglets, find a stream to catch shrimp and fish, going out at dawn and returning under the stars and moon, having a great time every day.
"Da Mei, Black Rabbit, the geese are going to patrol the mountain!"
On this day, Yi Cheng got up early again, carrying a spiked club, and called out to Da Mei and Black Rabbit.
The spiked club is a magical artifact, given to her by Qin Shou. She has many wild beasts in her hands, and Qin Shou gave it to her for self-defense.
Yi Cheng was also very adept at using it. With his Qi Refining Realm cultivation and terrifyingly strong strength, he could easily defeat any ferocious beast with a single blow.
"I am coming"
Da Mei transformed into human form and ran over, calling out to Black Rabbit at the same time.
"Squeak—squeak—(Here it comes, here it comes!)"
The black rabbit, who was lifting a stone, suddenly flipped the boulder off its head, grabbed its wood-chopping axe from its waist, and hopped over, its tongue lolling out excitedly.
Going on a mountain patrol with Da Mei and Yi Cheng was so much fun!
You can find lots of fun and strange things every day.
"Sister, sister, I want to go too!"
In the fish-calling pond, Little Fatty was splashing around desperately.
Da Mei turned around and comforted her, "Little sister, you're still a fish, you can't stay out of the water for too long. Be good, once you've cultivated and transformed into human form, I'll take you to play again, okay?"
With that, Da Mei happily went on a mountain patrol with Yi Cheng and Black Rabbit.
Little Fatty was left alone in the fishpond, crying with envy.
"The king summoned me to patrol the mountain..."
