Chapter 24 Kunpeng pondered for a while, ...
After pondering for a while, Kunpeng realized that although Fuxi did not want the purple aura, Dijun might not. Therefore, Kunpeng left his spies in the Demon Court to investigate, while he himself went to the Styx Ancestor.
Cang Li knew nothing of what had happened during the night. After a good night's sleep, she realized this wouldn't do. Knowing how inefficient she and her children were at work, Cang Li, always prepared for the worst, ate breakfast, watered the plants, and then took her family to the riverbank. She took out a bamboo raft to cross the river, paddling and shouting:
"Mom, wake up and make more babies!"
The bamboo raft remained motionless on the river, and the mountains opposite seemed to be playing dead, with not even a breeze blowing.
Cang Li: ...
Cang Li, settling for second best, said, "Mom, it's fine if you don't want to have a baby, but at least plow one side of the field for me! Or you could find me some labor!"
Nuwa, who had been woken up three times in a row, became irritable. She said that raising children was troublesome, and this brat was still nagging her, nagging, nagging, nagging, nagging her to death!
Nuwa said impatiently, "Shut up! What are you plowing? Are you hungry? Go play by yourself and don't disturb my sleep!"
Upon hearing Nuwa's voice, Cang Li immediately perked up: "Mom~ Why don't you create humans to give me some labor! Don't you have any subordinates? Where's my uncle? Ask him to come and take care of us. I'm a minor dragging around five cubs. You're violating the law protecting minors!"
Nuwa: "...What 'Law on the Protection of Minors'? Never mind, that's not important. Baby, you stay there quietly and play by yourself. Don't disturb Mom's sleep. Mom promises you, I'll get you someone to help you with the work."
Cang Li pondered for a moment. With her mother there, whoever came would at least have cultivation and know magic. Turning over the soil and planting vegetables would be a piece of cake. Cang Li nodded with slight satisfaction.
"Okay, Mom, you can keep sleeping then, I won't disturb you."
After Cang Li finished speaking, she rowed the bamboo raft back. Having achieved her goal, she was sure she wouldn't continue making a fuss. Otherwise, if she made a scene, she was afraid her mother would get angry and beat her.
Ji, Jie, and Er looked at Cang Li with admiration. "Sister is so amazing!" They didn't dare to speak to the Mother Goddess!
After Cang Li landed, she waved her hand and led the children back. She was going up the mountain to collect gathering points so she could exchange them for the Heart Sutra Mist Mother and the Xuanyuan Sword from the gathering shop.
As the sun rose in the east and set in the west, about two months later, Cang Li looked at her fields and vegetable garden with satisfaction. The rice in the fields was already laden with heavy ears of grain, each one plump and full. She estimated that once the rice turned golden, she would be able to harvest fragrant rice.
The scallions and ginger in the neighboring vegetable garden are growing very lushly, the bok choy has grown into large cabbages, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes have all grown quite a bit, but they are not big enough yet and need to continue growing.
The cotton plants have sprouted, and Cang Li didn't really care for them except for watering and weeding. They grew lushly and the flowers bloomed. Cang Li planted wheat on a plot of land next to the cotton plants.
In the past two months, Cang Li has accumulated about 100 gathering points, bringing her total to 210. The sixth page of the shop has just been unlocked, but Cang Li hasn't looked at it yet. She's afraid that the unlocked sixth page will contain seeds, and she still has many seeds that she hasn't planted. But when she sees the seeds, she can't help but switch.
The land that has been cleared so far is not enough to cultivate. Cang Li looked at her mother with a deep gaze. If she doesn't send laborers to help her, she's going to make a scene!
The children ran over, wailing and clinging to Cang Li's legs: "Sister! Yu bit me! Waaah! He bit me!"
Cang Li: "...Go ahead and bite back."
The crowd ran back and bit Yu's fat arm. The next second, Yu opened his mouth and started crying, then attacked the crowd.
"Wa ...
The crowd wept so loudly it shook the heavens and earth, accompanied by cries of, "Sister, where are you? Come quickly..."
Cang Li: ...
Er ran over and skillfully dragged Yu away, then picked him up and said:
"Oh dear, stop crying, you're disturbing your older sister."
The crowd, sobbing, got off Jie and ran to Cang Li to complain:
"Sister, waaaaaah, I can't beat Yu, he bit me!"
Cang Li: "..."
Without turning his head, Cang Li reached out to Er. Er handed Yu to Cang Li, who then slapped Yu's bottom twice and asked the crowd:
Is it okay now?
Everyone was satisfied and rubbed against Cang Li's arm, saying, "Sister is the best!"
Exhausted, Cang Li tossed Yu aside. Before, they were hungry and cold, and the little ones were like quails. Later, they had food and clothing, and the little ones were well-behaved, but when the little ones were together, they inevitably fought and made a fuss. The noise was so loud that it gave her a headache. No wonder her mother automatically stopped the plan to have more children.
If all the mud splattered out are these cubs...
Cang Li shuddered, she couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have ten thousand babies crying together. She understood Nuwa now. Nuwa had raised her and even created five more babies. Her mother had gone through a lot.
But while she understood, she still needed labor. Cang Li was now so engrossed in farming that she always felt there wasn't enough stuff in her backpack, worrying that if there wasn't enough food in the fields, she and her children wouldn't have enough to eat.
Cang Li got up and said to Ji, "Keep an eye on them and don't let them fight. I'll go and urge Mom to send some people who can do chores."
Sometimes he didn't quite understand what his older sister was saying, but he would do whatever she said. He nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, Jie and I will take good care of them."
Cang Li carried the axe to the riverbank. If Nuwa continued to play dead, she would show her mother what a rebellious daughter was like.
The river remained calm, and traces of Cang Li's activities with his five cubs were still visible on the riverbank every now and then. Ever since learning of Nuwa's existence, Cang Li had become bolder and no longer tried to cover up his tracks as carefully as before. After all, Nuwa was watching from the other side, and this place was within Nuwa's protection zone, so it was very safe.
Cang Li, carrying his axe, glanced across the river, placed the bamboo raft on the water, and, using the pole, headed towards the other side.
Nuwa, who was fast asleep, had a vague premonition that something was wrong. She opened her eyes and saw that her eldest daughter was almost at the shore.
Nuwa: ...
"...Baby, what are you doing? Didn't we agree that I would take a nap and then take you back to Nuwa Palace when I woke up?"
Nuwa's voice was full of helplessness. She always felt that the first little person she created seemed to have gone wrong without her knowing. He liked to play with mud, pick up useless flowers and plants, and was very strange. But sometimes when she saw Cangli sitting there wiping his sweat, fanning himself, and stomping his feet to curse the heavens, Nuwa thought the little person was so cute. He would even wash her clean.
Cang Li braced himself against the pole, staring at the area roughly where the head of Goddess Mountain was, and said:
"Labor force! Mom! You promised to send me some laborers to do the work! It's been two months! Where are they?! If you can't send any, then stop lying around, get up and get to work, and make a few more little figures!"
Nuwa: ...
Nuwa pretended not to hear and closed her eyes to sleep. She knew that her eldest daughter's visit to her was definitely not for anything good!
Cang Li snorted and continued rowing towards the other side. It didn't matter if her mother ignored her; once she cut her mother's hair bald, her mother would know the consequences!
Seeing that Cang Li had no intention of giving up and even seemed to be speeding up, Nuwa couldn't sit still any longer. Her primordial spirit appeared helplessly in front of Cang Li. She regretted not letting her brother leave earlier; she should have left him to deal with Cang Li.
“…Baby, don’t come any closer.”
Cang Li ignored him and kept swiping towards the opposite side, his target being Nuwa's hair.
Nuwa: "...Alright, alright, I'll find someone to help you."
Cang Li stopped and just stared at Nuwa.
Nuwa: "I'm not lying to you, I'll find one for you right now, my dear. You go back and wait, that person will be here soon. I'll find you one with a good temper, don't worry."
Cang Li: "Then I'm going back. If you're lying to me, I'll cut all your hair off tomorrow!"
Nuwa: ...
Her baby has changed. The baby used to be so well-behaved, but now she wants to cut her hair!
Nuwa went back to sleep sadly.
Cang Li rowed the bamboo raft back, packed it up, and carried the axe back home. If no one came tomorrow, she would definitely pull her mother bald!
Before the next day was over, Cang Li returned to the cave and found Yu and Zhong fighting again.
Er, being mischievous, grabbed Jie's hair, and Jie, with tears in her eyes, gave Er two quick tugs.
The man was frantically trying to appease this person and that person, looking like he was about to break down.
Cang Li: ...
Ah, taking care of a child is such a tiring job. She should go stay by the river; it's too noisy, and she's going to go deaf.
Cang Li pretended that she hadn't returned yet, turned around and walked back, just like her mother.
"Excuse me, is this human territory?"
Cang Li: ?
Cang Li looked up in the direction the sound came from, still thinking to herself, there are only six people in the human race, her mother has never publicized it, and even her uncle doesn't know about the human race, so which big shot found out about the human race so quickly and came to their door?
After seeing it clearly, Cang Li gasped.
That's amazing! And it's white-haired!
The newcomer descended from the sky, his smooth white hair neatly cascading down his back, with a few strands falling across his forehead. He was not wearing a crown and was dressed in white clothes with light gold runes, covered by a yellow cloak. Most notably, his face was strikingly beautiful, with well-defined features and a high, straight nose, as if he had stepped out of a painting.
This person had a detached gaze and little expression, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance. His lips were naturally red, and he was somewhere between a young man and a teenager. He was eight feet tall, slender, and a typical aloof beauty.
Cang Li couldn't help but let out a rascally whistle. This guy was just too good-looking, and a cool and aloof one at that. She had never seen anyone so handsome before, when she was busy working to earn money. He was devastatingly handsome.
"Handsome, who are you looking for?"
Taiqing paused for a moment, then frowned slightly.
Cang Li: ...Wow, even a handsome guy's frown is attractive. Dressed so well, he must be here to seduce her!
Taiqing stood in front of Cangli, looked around, and couldn't help but calculate with his fingers. He concluded that this was indeed the place.
A few days ago, Taiqing was trying to comprehend the opportunity to become a saint in Kunlun Mountain, but he could not find the method. He had already severed his three corpses and consulted the Dao Ancestor. He received the words "the time is not yet ripe" but Taiqing could not understand them. He calculated many times but still had no results. Until a few days ago, the aura of this place was leaking out, and he realized that the opportunity to become a saint was right here.
Therefore, Taiqing left a message for his two younger brothers who were in seclusion and then left Kunlun. He should have arrived long ago, but he encountered the relocation of the Dragon Clan on the way and learned that Hongyun had perished due to the Primordial Purple Qi. Since he had a friendship with Zhen Yuanzi, he had to take a detour to inquire about it, which delayed him for a while, and he only arrived today.
However, Taiqing was somewhat confused, as the humans here seemed to be... quite different from what he had calculated.
