Chapter 32 Xi'er has had enough!
"Uncle Xiaobao, Aunt Lingdeng, what brings you here to cultivate?" Nie Xiaoxiao asked, bewildered.
She was still a young girl. Although she had feelings for Achen and followed him across the border without hesitation, they had never even held hands, so she naturally wouldn't understand the concept of dual cultivation between men and women.
"We... just wanted a quiet place where we could cultivate without being disturbed," Xiao Bao said shyly.
"I'm sorry, my Xianxian is so ignorant. She even damaged your barrier and disturbed your cultivation," Nie Xiaoxiao quickly apologized.
"It's alright, we've just finished our training and are planning to go back," Xiao Bao said.
"Xiaoxiao, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Lingdeng asked casually, without feeling embarrassed at all.
The practice of dual cultivation between men and women is perfectly normal; what's there to be embarrassed about?
"It's like this, my Xianxian sensed a faint fluctuation of water spiritual energy in this area, and I suspect there's some treasure hidden there," Nie Xiaoxiao said.
The spirit lamp had also discovered underground water before, but after Nie Xiaoxiao broke the barrier, the two of them were busy getting dressed and forgot about it.
After she mentioned it, the three of them extended their divine senses and began to explore the ground.
This investigation revealed that there was an aquifer less than half a meter below the surface.
The aquifer varies in depth, ranging from several meters deep in some places to just over a foot deep in others.
The metal spikes that Xiao Bao fired earlier pierced the shallowest part of the hole; otherwise, it would have been impossible for water to spray out.
Having found an aquifer, and a freshwater one at that, the three of them, after repeatedly confirming it, excitedly ran back to their camp to report to Yu Shan.
"What? We've found an underground freshwater layer?" Feather Fan exclaimed in surprise.
"Impossible! I've sent people to thoroughly investigate this area for miles around, and we haven't found any fresh water, let alone salt water." The high priest said in disbelief.
"But have you forgotten the major earthquake that happened three months ago? After a major earthquake, the underground rock strata may migrate laterally or vertically."
"Perhaps this groundwater layer is a result of water moving from a deeper layer to the surface," said Feather Fan.
The high priest immediately realized what was happening.
He felt that Xi'er was the little lucky star of the entire Dust Continent. The previous volcanic eruption was originally a terrible natural disaster.
However, the area where the volcano erupted was not surrounded by sea, so naturally there was no territory belonging to the Ximo people.
There were no casualties, and countless treasures were found in the volcanic ash.
Now it's even better. After a major earthquake, a freshwater layer was discovered in the shallow surface layer where no water source could be detected.
Now, the tens of thousands of acres of reclaimed land will no longer have to worry about not growing green plants.
The most surprising thing is that this aquifer is more than ten kilometers long and has an average thickness of more than ten feet.
Furthermore, this freshwater layer is connected to a deeper groundwater layer, providing a continuous supply of freshwater.
As long as extraction is planned and resources are used sparingly, the freshwater layer can be guaranteed not to dry up for at least three years.
With the once-a-decade Da Yuan Hai Tournament about to begin, and now the discovery of new freshwater resources, it's truly a double blessing.
As is customary, the High Priest personally presides over each tournament, and this time is no exception.
Of course, if the young master weren't so young, the High Priest would actually prefer that Xi'er personally preside over the arena competition.
In order to participate in this year's arena competition, the most outstanding demon race members from all the waters of the Dust Continent, whether they are yellow demons, green demons, or blue demons, are heading towards the Great Abyss Sea.
Many of them had already arrived early, and the High Priest ordered Zi Liu to specially prepare a purified body of water to receive these participants.
Some of them were from waters that had already been purified by Xi'er.
Some were even more remote, not on Xi'er's route to the Great Abyss Sea, so the waters were not purified.
When they saw the purified water with their own eyes, they were so moved that they burst into tears.
After collecting their tears, these demons took the initiative to find the high priest and begged him to allow them to pay homage to the messenger of the waters who had purified them, and to personally offer their tears to the messenger.
Actually, part of the waters in the Great Abyss Sea were purified by the Feather Fan, but she is currently busy leading people to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land, so the task of claiming credit has been left to Xi'er.
Xi'er didn't really want to take credit for her mother's work, but since she didn't know how to farm, her mother pushed her out to receive these devout believers.
The High Priest was pleased with this and would personally accompany Xi'er to meet these people each time.
Xi'er gained many tears from the Fine Demon Clan, as well as countless powers of devout faith.
Now, she has received so much light from faith that even when she tries to hide it, her whole body still radiates a faint golden light.
Wherever she went, the people of her tribe would kneel down and worship her devoutly from afar.
Xi'er was very annoyed by this. She liked to travel around and had no desire to be a goddess who was watched and worshipped wherever she went.
"Fusheng, Ruomeng, you two need to quickly think of a way to get me away from the Great Abyss Sea. I really can't take it anymore!"
Once again, Xi'er was surrounded and worshipped by a large crowd while out and about, and she finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Xi'er, where do you want to go?" Ruomeng asked with a smile.
“Anywhere is fine. The Dust Continent is so big, I refuse to believe I can’t find a place where nobody knows me!” Xi’er said, puffing out her cheeks.
“If you want to run away from home, I will tell the Feather Fan Saintess,” Fusheng said coldly.
"Hey! Do you have to be so annoying?"
"Your face isn't much uglier than my brother's, but you always have this icy expression and your words are as cold as ice." Xi'er complained irritably.
After transforming, Da Cai and Xiao Cai changed their names to Fu Sheng and Ruo Meng.
Xi'er was initially pleased with the handsome man and beautiful woman's appearance, but the older brother, Fusheng, had a completely different personality from the younger sister, Ruomeng.
Ruomeng always has a smile on her face and is lively and likable, while Fusheng always has an icy expression and always objects to Xi'er's outrageous behavior.
When their objections proved ineffective, they threatened to file a lawsuit.
"In short, you must get your parents' permission before you go out," Fusheng insisted.
"Fine! You wait, I'll get Dad to agree." Xi'er gritted her teeth and waved her little fist.
Xi'er is an impatient person; she does what she thinks of.
She immediately sent a voice message to her dad: "Dad, I'm so bored, I want to go out and play!"
"Go out if you want. Just let the High Priest, Fusheng, and Ruomeng accompany you. Your mother and I are busy collecting the newly grown wild vegetable seeds." Xiaobai's reply came quickly.
“But the High Priest is busy preparing for the arena competition, and he doesn’t have time to accompany me. Can I take Fusheng and Ruomeng with me when I go out?” Xi’er asked.
"Okay, with them around, there shouldn't be any problems," Xiaobai said.
Recently, wherever her daughter goes, she is worshipped by the people of the Ximo tribe. Their piety towards Xi'er is beyond doubt, so Xiaobai believes that no one will harm her.
"Okay, then I'll go play somewhere a little further away!" Xi'er said happily.
Then she looked at Fusheng provocatively, and although the latter had a cold face, he no longer intended to go and tattle on her to Yushan.
