Chapter 68 Ah Chen's Visit to Relatives (Part 3)
My mom is doing planting again, but this time she's not doing it alone.
With her father and Uncle Mao Li by her side, and so many people in her clan who trusted her and were willing to follow her guidance, she was blessed with support.
A large area of the mountains and forests surrounding the clan's territory has been cleared and planted with various wild vegetables, spirit wheat, and spirit grains.
This winter, the people in the tribe should no longer lack food or clothing.
My godmother also found her purpose in life here. She opened a tailor shop and made clothes for everyone for free using monster pelts. She also embroidered defensive runes on the clothes to protect them from monster attacks.
The tribespeople were very grateful to her. Although she did not charge any fees, they did their best to provide her with all kinds of furs, silkworms that could spin silk, and cotton and linen that could weave cloth.
They gave her only the finest materials, which Madam Xuan used to create top-notch clothing, the kind whose style and texture were truly amazing.
She has entrusted Zhenbaoge to sell her clothing, one item per month, following a high-end user and scarcity marketing model.
Hua Jingyi is now passionate about teaching the Shengwu tribe how to make traditional pastries and simple dishes. His scallion pancakes are one of the tribe's favorite rations to take when they go hunting.
Xiao Ran and Omar, and Matt and Mina joined different hunting teams. Omar and Matt are both mental beings, skilled at detecting the tracks of monsters.
With their addition, the hunting team was able to easily find suitable prey and avoid high-level monsters in time.
This avoids wasting time and energy, and also reduces the casualty rate among the tribe.
Achen actually wanted to stay, but he knew that he could learn more and grow faster at Shifang Academy.
Before leaving, Ah Chen hugged his younger sister and hid in the inner room. Everyone was considerate enough to give them some time alone together.
Xiao Shi, who had come with him, had been wandering around the clan's territory, and now he also came up to Xi'er.
He stared at the silver bracelet on Xi'er's chubby wrist for a long time, then leaned close to Achen's ear with a mysterious look and said, "This little girl's bracelet is something else!"
"Isn't this just a type of silver ornament that the Holy Witch Clan likes? What's so special about it?" Ah Chen asked, puzzled.
As he spoke, he shook Xi'er's hand, and the hollow silver beads on the bracelet made a crisp "ding-dong" sound. Xi'er giggled and laughed, as if she was calling him brother.
Seeing that her brother seemed interested in her bracelet, Xi'er had a thought, and two transparent, colorful butterflies flew out of the hollowed-out silver ball.
Wow! They're so beautiful! And so lively and vibrant, just like real butterflies!
"Whose skillful craftsmanship is this? It's amazing!" Ah Chen exclaimed.
The next second, two butterflies flew to him and gently patted his face with their wings, sprinkling his face with the powdery scales from their wings.
"Are they... expressing their dissatisfaction? What did I do to offend them?" Ah Chen said, somewhat annoyed.
“Hey! Silly boy! Of course they’re unhappy. They’re clearly alive, but you’re treating them like puppets. How can they not be angry?” Xiao Shi said.
"Huh? Could they actually be my sister's contracted spirit pets?" Achen exclaimed in surprise.
Previously, Yu Shan was only focused on comforting her son's emotions, fearing that he would feel lost because his sister's birth would take away his attention, and forgot to tell him about the Illusory Sacred Butterfly.
The reason Xiao Shi was able to sense that the bracelet was extraordinary was because he was a spirit of a weapon. Spirits of weapons can sense powerful weapons, and Xiao Shi felt that this hollowed-out silver ball was the most powerful weapon he had ever seen.
Since the bracelet is a powerful artifact, the butterfly that flew out of it could not possibly be a puppet.
When Ah Chen called for Yu Shan to come in, the two iridescent holy butterflies had already flown back into the hollowed-out silver ball, and Xiao Shi had also disappeared.
Ah Chen told Yu Shan about the butterfly that had just flown out, and Yu Shan was very shocked.
Ever since Xi'er was born, the Illusory Sacred Butterflies have stayed in the hollowed-out silver ball after recognizing their master, and have never appeared in front of people again. I never expected that they would be willing to show themselves in front of Achen today.
In fact, the Rainbow Butterflies did not treat Ah Chen differently. After recognizing him as their master, they hid themselves because their master was still an infant and too weak, so as not to attract unnecessary covetousness.
However, today, Xi'er, the little owner, expressed a strong desire to show her spirit pet to her older brother. This is both a sign of trust and a way for the child to show off.
The Magical Butterfly naturally wouldn't want to disappoint its young master, and besides, Ah Chen and the young master were close relatives of the same lineage, both being of the Holy Witch Clan, so taking a look wouldn't hurt.
Upon learning that the treasure was a gift from Hua Jingyi, Achen made a special trip to thank him.
“Young Master Chen, you’re too kind! That treasure has a spirit; it will choose a suitable master on its own. If it were left with me, it would only ever be an ordinary silver ball,” Hua Jingyi said.
He has never regretted following Yu Shan. Although he now lives in a remote town, the people in his tribe help and love each other. He prefers his current life to the treacherous and deceitful life of the past.
Despite his busy physical life, he remained relaxed and cheerful. He even considered marrying a girl from the Holy Witch Clan and having children, intending to stay here forever.
Ah Chen felt gratified because everyone seemed to have found their own value and were living fulfilling lives here.
