"Host, don't forget to take out the ant nest," Xiao Hao reminded him.
"Are they all beneficial ants? Won't they affect my fruits and vegetables?" Bai Qingqing asked hesitantly.
"Absolutely not," Xiao Hao said confidently.
"Alright then." Bai Qingqing nodded, then pulled the ant nest out of the system space and casually tossed it into the vegetable garden.
Just like when Huo Qing and Huo Ling appeared, the moment the ant nest appeared, an immense force descended straight down.
It's not that they want to establish their authority in front of everyone.
Instead, it's difficult for them to adjust to and adapt to this world in a short time.
Fortunately, Yan Xi already had plenty of experience, and the green ripples and the terrifying gravity collided instantly.
Then, that gravity vanished into the void.
Wukong stood behind Bai Qingqing, looking at a nest of ants in the vegetable garden, his little paws feeling a little numb.
A whole nest of them.
How many of these are there?
What rank do I need to be?
Surely they won't even make it into the top 100?
"Thank you, Sister Tao." The ant's large antennae twitched as it transmitted its voice.
"Little ants, don't be so polite." Yan Xi smiled. "From now on, I'll entrust the care of my master's vegetable garden to you."
"Don't worry, Sister Tao." Ant Da shook its antennae again, then greeted everyone in turn: "Hello, Brother Teng, Hello, Sister Ling, Hello, Brother Qing."
Yun Zhan's pupils constricted.
This is……
Sky-Shaking Dragon Ant!
Born before the Heavenly Dao!
She is a Primal God who is much more powerful than Meng Po in Genshin Impact!
He noticed the extraordinary peach tree, grapevines, and two chickens as soon as he entered the courtyard.
But he doesn't recognize it.
Even if it was Huo Ling Huo Qing, he thought it was just that she had the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird.
But judging from the attitude of the Heavenly Dragon Ant just now, those two are probably the real Vermilion Birds.
That girl in white...
"Let's put the lotus pond here." After settling the ant nest, Bai Qingqing asked Xiao Hao to move the lotus pond out as well.
It's not far from the vegetable garden.
The lotus pond is not very large, only about four or five meters square.
The pool water was very clear.
The water surface was covered with a large expanse of dark lotus leaves, with a golden lotus blooming in the center.
Golden lotus in the Western Zhou Dynasty, with six-colored flower buds scattered about.
A koi carp is frolicking and playing among the lotus leaves, completely carefree.
When the lotus pond was taken out, no oppressive aura descended.
That's because the Seven-Colored Black Leaf Lotus is no less powerful than the Peach Goddess.
As soon as it appeared, it quickly sealed its own and the koi's divine power.
Not a single detail was leaked.
"It seems that Sister Lian's cultivation has improved again," Ling Yuan said telepathically, shaking the leaves.
"Sister Tao, Ling Yuan, Huo Qing, Huo Ling, it's been a long time." Seven-Colored Ink Leaf Lotus smiled and greeted them one by one.
"Sister Tao, Brother Teng, Huo Qing, Huo Ling, I've missed you all so much!" Koi said happily, wagging its tail.
"Yuehua, Xingyi, it's been a long time." Yanxi said gently as the branches swayed.
After the powerful figures finished greeting each other, Bai Wenyuan said tremblingly, "Qingqing, now that the vegetable garden is ready, we'll head back first."
"Grandpa, please stay for dinner tonight." Bai Qingqing said, bending down to pluck a leaf. "We'll have lotus leaf chicken."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qing and Huo Ling darted into the chicken coop in a flash.
Their owner hasn't regained his memory yet, so they're not safe.
"Old man Bai, if you dare say you want to eat, you're dead." Huo Qing transmitted his voice viciously.
Bai Wenyuan waved his hands repeatedly in fright: "No, no, there's no need."
Bai Wuji quickly added, "I think these two... chickens are very beautiful, it would be a shame to eat them. We have specially raised spirit chickens in the back mountain. If you like to eat them, I'll have your older brothers catch some and send them over later."
"Okay, thank you, Father." Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
She hadn't planned to eat those two chickens anyway.
After all, it's a system reward, and it can lay six eggs at a time.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing had given up the idea of playing PUBG, Bai Wenyuan calmed himself down and said, "Everyone is very interested in the Cuju (ancient Chinese football) tournament you mentioned, and they all want to go back and form a team as soon as possible."
"I see." Bai Qingqing smiled and nodded. "Then let's get together another day."
Everyone responded in unison.
Bai Qingqing escorted everyone to the entrance of the courtyard and waved goodbye.
Wukong transmitted his voice, "Miss Zheng, we will meet at the west gate of Tianyuan City early tomorrow morning."
Zheng Wanning, standing in the crowd, quickly replied, "Yes, Lord Wukong."
Because Wukong didn't hide his telepathic communication from others, everyone gathered around Zheng Wanning after they left the mortal realm.
Zheng Wanning nervously rubbed his fingers together, instinctively hiding behind Zheng Wuhui.
This action made Zheng Wu Hui's eyes well up with tears.
It seems there is still a chance to repair the relationship between the father and daughter.
"Everyone, everyone..."
Zheng Wu Hui shielded Zheng Wan Ning behind him: "I know everyone is eager to know the reason, but let her speak slowly in front of this young woman."
"Of course, of course," everyone echoed.
“Wan Ning, since Wukong transmitted his voice to you in public, he has no intention of hiding this matter,” Zheng Wu Hui said gently as he turned his head.
“Yes.” Bai Wenyuan nodded. “If he didn’t want us to know, Wukong wouldn’t have told you in public.”
"We're looking for Miss Bai's previous spirit pet," Zheng Wanning said, pursing his lips.
"The spirit pet from before?" Everyone was taken aback.
“It’s a white tiger. I heard Miss Tian call it Sister Tiger.” Zheng Wanning said, and then recounted in detail his connection with “Sister Tiger”.
“No wonder you were twins, but one of you has a spiritual root and the other doesn’t. So that’s how it is.” Yun Yue nodded.
"There's a question I forgot to ask you yesterday. Now that Zheng Wanyu's transplant has been successful, why not just kill you?" Yun Zhan asked.
“I don’t know why, I only know that she comes every month to take a drop of my heart’s blood.” As he said this, Zheng Wanning couldn’t help but tremble.
The pain, though not as intense as having one's spiritual root stripped bare, was still excruciating.
She endured it for decades.
"How could there be such a beastly sister in this world!" Niu Zihua said angrily, feeling a little regretful that she shouldn't have let Zheng Wanyu die yesterday.
She got off too easily.
"I see," Yun Zhan said in realization.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him, waiting for him to continue, but he looked up at the sky and said nothing more.
Enraged, Yun Yue slapped him on the back of the head: "Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!"
Yun Zhan covered the back of his head, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
He was just wondering if the "Tiger Sister" Zheng Wanning mentioned was the White Tiger, one of the Four Divine Beasts.
After all, we already have the Vermilion Bird, so how far away can the White Tiger be?
“Zheng Wanyu does not have that drop of Origin Crystal in her body, so she cannot fully control the spiritual root that was nurtured by the Origin Crystal,” Yun Zhan explained.
"So, that's why she needs to take a drop of Zheng Wanning's heart's blood every month?" Yunxi frowned and said, "When the blood is taken, the two must have been in contact, so why didn't the spiritual root return on its own?"
"Because Zheng Wanyu was already much stronger than Zheng Wanning at that time, and could suppress him. It was only later, when the spiritual energy rebounded, that she could no longer suppress him," Yun Zhan said.
Yunxi thought for a moment, then shook her head: "It's still not right."
"What's wrong?" Niu Qingling asked.
"Since it's a spiritual root nurtured by the Primal Crystal, requiring Zheng Wanning's heart's blood to control, how did Zheng Wanyu transplant it back then? Zheng Wanyu didn't possess this ability at the time, did she?"
After Yunxi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
After a moment, Yun Zhan said, "It can only be said that a powerful person helped Zheng Wanyu at that time."
Zheng Wu Hui's face immediately changed.
