Chapter 109 Inviting the Wild Boar Family Back for a Visit
Ningbao was overjoyed as she touched the small bag at her waist, which was full of her purchases.
"No, I think the people in the underworld are quite hospitable. We've eaten and drunk our fill and even taken quite a lot. Look, they were reluctant to leave us just now. It seems we can come here often in the future."
Lingling: Master, are you sure they're reluctant to leave and not just eager to see their guest off?
Ning Bao: "…………"
After leaving the underworld, Ningbao took out her small compass to find her family's location. A moment later, Ningbao happily put the compass away.
"Lingling, let's go find Daddy, Mommy, and Grandpa and Grandma. I just saw that everyone from Shanglin Village is in that mountain valley where we retreated before. It must be the village chief and the others waiting for us there."
Ningbao was very excited to think that she now had family who cared about her, and when she was excited, she wanted to eat.
Ningbao simply took out two fruits from her storage talisman, gave one to Lingling, and started crunching on the other herself. The two of them, one human and one cat, walked forward while munching on the fruit.
As Lingling walked, she looked up at Ningbao, puzzled, and asked,
"Master, since you're in such a hurry to see your family, why don't we use a flying talisman? That way we can get there in the blink of an eye."
"Sigh!" Ning Bao sighed.
"Flying talismans are useful, and I can draw them, but even though I'm skillful, I can't cook without rice."
Lingling said, "Master, it's true that even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice. You should read more books in the future!"
"A well-educated girl is the most charming."
"Smack!" Ning Bao slapped Lingling on the forehead.
"Are you implying that your master is uneducated?"
Lingling quickly shook her head.
"No, no, Master, I swear I absolutely didn't."
"Tch!" Ning Bao curled her lip.
“I know that’s what you mean, but you’re not wrong. My senior brother said I’m only three years old and it’s not too late to learn later.”
"Ha!" Lingling sneered and muttered under her breath.
"You can tell what a person will be like at three years old. A person who gets sleepy as soon as he picks up a book will never learn anything, even if he lives to be five hundred years old."
"Hmph!" Ning Bao snorted coldly.
"Don't think I can't hear you just because you're speaking softly. I don't fall asleep while reading every book. Give me a book on talismans and metaphysics and I guarantee I can read it from memory after just one glance."
No one in the entire Sanqing Taoist Temple learned as fast as me.
Ningbao proudly raised her chin as she spoke.
"Sigh!" Ning Bao sighed again.
"The talisman is useful and convenient, but unfortunately there isn't much cinnabar and yellow paper left to draw it."
It was difficult to buy high-quality cinnabar and yellow paper on this journey of fleeing famine.
So from today onwards, I need to use my talisman paper sparingly. Okay... what was it again? Oh, right... a good knife should be used where it's needed most... I was originally thinking of smuggling some cinnabar and yellow paper from the underworld.
I never imagined such a vast underworld would lack these things. Sigh! Old Yan is too poor.
Lingling silently thought to herself:
Is its owner a little silly?
The underworld, also known as the netherworld, is the territory of ghosts. Your cinnabar and yellow paper are the nemesis of ghosts, so why would they put these things there?
well!
Well, its master is still a child, so we can't expect too much from her.
The man and his cat walked and chatted, and along the way they caught a whole litter of wild boars.
Ningbao planned to treat the villagers to a wild boar. After spending some time with them, Ningbao had a good impression of the villagers of Shanglin Village.
Everyone liked her, except for her grandfather's sister-in-law, her patriarchal grandmother Zhao Juhua.
