Her eyesight was excellent; high above, there was no wind at all, but thousands upon thousands of medium-sized birds, each the size of a swan.
"Whoosh..."
Fang Qing ran over and presented Xiao Li with a bowl of clean strawberries.
"Little Mengli, here's your favorite cardamom."
Xiao Li tilted her head, pondering whether or not to make a move. This fellow villager had indeed been very kind to her.
"Chirp..."
The birds high in the sky couldn't wait any longer. At the leader's command, all the birds swooped down.
Fang Qing stared blankly at the sky. What was this...?
He suddenly threw the bowl on the ground and grabbed Xiaoli, then ran away.
"Run! Everyone, hide!"
All the villagers ran up the hillside.
Seeing Fang Qing's unwavering choice, Xiao Li was also touched. At least he was still a simple, kind, and lovely person.
Xiao Li shook off Fang Qing and turned to run towards the edge of the field.
The spiritual energy was channeled, forming a barrier that protected the berries in the field.
The birds arrived at that time as well.
"Bang bang bang..."
Birds were bounced off the barrier, flying down like dumplings being dropped into a pot, and then scattering in all directions like ping-pong balls.
Fang Qing was stunned; his little girl was actually such a powerful expert.
"No wonder……"
She was able to travel around not because the world was too dangerous, but because she had the ability to protect herself.
Unlike him, who was just a useless person struggling to survive.
Undeterred by being flung away, the birds charged back toward the barrier.
Xiao Li still remembered the Elf Queen's words: she didn't want to commit murder, but the birds were too persistent, only eyeing the fruit.
Fang Qing rushed over, picked up a basket of blue vines, and scattered them into the open space in the distance.
Immediately, the birds moved to another spot and flew over to snatch the food. Fang Qing scattered more than a dozen baskets of food, and the birds only flew away after they had finished eating.
"Phew... That was really dangerous. If those birds had gone into the berry field, they would have ruined all the berries."
Fang Qing pretended to be calm while secretly glancing at Xiao Li.
His little girl was so cool just now, I really want to learn from her.
The favorability rating is soaring, 60, 65...
Xiao Li smiled and asked, "Brother Fang, do you want to learn?"
Fang Qing's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.
"Can Xiao Mengli teach me?"
Xiao Li thought for a moment. Cultivation techniques were already widespread in this world, and they weren't hard to buy. As long as you had some money, you could buy them on the black market.
Even if she didn't teach him, he would find a way to learn and would complain that she hadn't taught him, so Xiaoli decided to teach him anyway.
"Okay, but you'll have to call me Master from now on."
Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Qing immediately knelt down to become his disciple.
Xiao Li stopped him, "I don't accept apprentices, only nominal disciples. You can become my disciple, but you won't be a formal one."
Fang Qing felt a pang of bitterness. Was he really that bad? He was even rejected after becoming an apprentice.
However, he still agreed. What a joke! If you miss this opportunity, you might never get another chance.
"Master, please accept my bow!"
Xiao Li took out the basic cultivation techniques and magic spells, handed them to Fang Qing, and gave him some pointers.
Fang Qing studied with utmost respect and did not look down on Xiao Li because she was young.
He was also very diligent, and although his physical condition was poor and his results were minimal, he still persisted.
The original owner trusted him too much, entrusting the future of the elven race to him, and was so disappointed and indignant after her hopes were shattered.
Xiao Li wouldn't. She would find a way to save the Tree of Life, and the elves would protect it themselves.
Relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else. She is only giving Fang Qing a chance now because he has not attacked the elves.
"Little master, I've finally become a trainee mage..."
Xiao Li pointed out his mistake, "A master is a master, why add 'little'?"
Fang Qing bowed his head honestly and admitted his mistake, "Yes, Master."
Then he became happy again, "Master, look!"
Spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips, forming a small fireball, which disappeared after only three seconds.
Xiao Li was quite surprised. Fang Qing had good comprehension. The magic spell she gave him was the simplest, yet he didn't even recite it before instantly casting a fireball.
Xiao Li looked at Fang Qing, who was waiting for her praise, and found it amusing.
"Hmm, it's pretty good."
Fang Qing immediately broke into a big smile and shouted happily.
"Fang Wen, extra food tonight."
"Yes, young master."
Three months passed, and Fang Qing's mood finally dropped. He realized that his progress was slow, and advancing to the level of a beginner mage was a problem.
Is my innate talent really that bad? No wonder my family abandoned me.
He was so focused on cultivation that he didn't even want to take care of the farm anymore. He was both envious and amazed when he thought about how powerful Xiao Li was at such a young age.
Three more months passed, and he still hadn't reached the level of a novice mage. This time, he finally gave up.
Instead of wasting time on useless things, it's better to do something meaningful.
He is better suited to the way of life of an ordinary person; the path of the strong is not for him.
Fang Qing then began studying berries, hoping to cultivate more varieties and become the richest person on this continent.
When I have money, I can buy elixirs to change my physical constitution, and I can also hire powerful people to protect me.
This is also a roundabout way.
?
Summer is long, but it also comes to an end. Winter will come soon, and everywhere will be covered with snow.
Xiao Li had never seen such thick snow before. She used her spiritual power to build a small nine-shaped figure, which was lifelike and very similar to the human form.
It's a pity that Xiao Jiu is afraid of the cold and doesn't want to come out once she's inside the space; otherwise, they would look like twins standing together.
Fang Qing looked at the snow in the fields and was a little worried. There were no birds in winter, but what could he plant?
If he's idle, he won't have any income, and he still has to pay taxes to the empire.
Seeing the ginseng seedling above Xiao Jiu's head, he suddenly had a good idea.
Radishes are still available here in winter. They can be cultivated into fruit radishes and eaten as fruit, so there's fruit available even in winter.
Three more months passed, and the radishes were finally ripe. Fang Qing stayed in the field all day, waiting for the day of harvest.
"Ring ring..."
A caravan was approaching from afar. These people had been traveling all over the country and were passing through this place. They wanted to rest and stay overnight.
Fang Qing warmly welcomed them and offered them fruit radishes to quench their thirst.
Fang Qing saw this as a business opportunity. If these people could take the fruit and radishes away and sell them to more places, he would be rich.
"Team Leader Hade, you've been traveling all over the country and must be tired. Have a Yuluo to quench your thirst. This is one I cultivated myself, and I guarantee you've never seen anything like it before."
Looking at the juicy, palm-sized radish, Hader's mouth watered; it looked delicious.
"It looks good, I'll try it."
