62 Great Harvests, Dragon Blood Rice
As evening approached, the sun was obscured by the mountains, leaving only a sliver of afterglow. The group huddled together as they emerged.
"My lord, madam, would you like to eat now?" Butler Yang immediately came forward and asked in a low voice.
"Alright, let's go now. Thank you, Butler Yang." He Chen replied on behalf of the three women. They were hungry too!
"Yes, sir, you're too kind. It's nothing. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything," Steward Yang quickly replied, then went to prepare the dishes.
"My lord, are you satisfied with this steward?" Bi Yunyan asked in a low voice with a smile.
"Satisfied, where did you find Yan'er?" I asked, a little curious.
"I'm glad you're satisfied, sir. This is because Yunyan received a favor from Sister Yang before. Besides, Sister Yang used to be a junior manager in someone else's household! But she got older and was dismissed! So we had her come this time. I'm glad you're satisfied, brother. If you're not, I'll give Sister Yang some compensation!"
"Satisfied, Yunyan, from now on, you two can make the decisions about these things. No need to ask me!"
"Thank you, sir." And so he moved even closer!
The group arrived at the restaurant. Inside, waiters and cooks quickly brought out the food.
A huge platter! A huge platter! Roast chicken, roast duck! Roast pork chops, wolf chops! And a giant bluefish that's half a meter long! It's so big it can't all fit on one table!
Another round table was brought in! Once all the dishes were served, the women ate only a little. Then they watched the others feast!
The whole big bluefish was eaten, bite by bite, without even needing to spit out any bones! They ate it all from head to tail! The women were stunned, their cute little mouths agape. They couldn't believe it!
Then he went to the wolf chop and started eating heartily! Yun Su handed him a pork chop and fed him as if he were being fed something!
So, Yunyan, Fanghua, and the others quickly started feeding them too! A sensual dinner was finished.
The group went to rest in the side hall. Several new, connected, soft benches had been installed there; they were said to be called chaise lounges in the city! Soft cushions or straw mats were laid on them.
Animal hide cushions are nice too! It's said that some people even use tiger-patterned cushions on them! Several people sat close together! Yun Su, dressed in a tight-fitting cheongsam, sat close to them!
'Where is the thousand-strong force? Perhaps I should go and meet them?'
"Brother, the army isn't marching very fast. Safety is our priority along the way. The official roads from the capital are still quite safe. We'll go and meet them when we reach Wanzhou." Yun Su leaned against him, carefully analyzing the situation.
Okay, I understand.
Then I glanced at my kill points. Killing Gan Twelve gave me 650 points. Adding that to what I had before, I only have a little over 3000 points now. I exchanged them for two Cloud Piercing Arrows. I pretended to take two Cloud Piercing Arrows out of my spatial ring!
Then, turning to Fanghua and Yunsu, he said, "Take this. If there's any danger, just crush it. Make sure to carry it with you at all times!"
The two accepted the Cloud Piercing Arrow! It was small and exquisite, crystal clear, like a small, simplified version of a bow and arrow! It felt cool to the touch, instantly giving a sense of comfort.
"Thank you, brother, I understand," Yun Su said happily.
"Thank you!" Fanghua said, then leaned even closer.
"Fang'er, your brother Tuzhe has been assigned to the work of building the new city. Regardless of what happens later, his involvement in this project, especially if he stays until the end, will be rewarded. I will arrange a position for him, something like a deputy manager. It will depend on his wishes then; let him choose for himself."
"Thank you, sir." Then she reached out and hugged him! Butterfly bowed her head gently, no longer thinking about it.
Then, she took out the bracelets and examined them closely. One of them, shaped like a seashell, was actually a storage pouch. The others were various silver ornaments made of birds, turtles, ponies, and other small figures!
Then, he used his divine sense to enter and gently opened it. He took out all the items. Apart from some inexpensive clothing, there was a red wooden box about a foot long and wide. He checked it with his divine sense and found no danger. He carefully opened it.
The three women were also very curious about what was inside. The first thing they saw was a stack of silver notes. These were silver notes used throughout the Holy Dynasty; they couldn't be counterfeited!
Open it up and take a closer look! A whole stack of them, each a thousand taels of silver. That's a hundred thousand copper coins!
"Brother, you've struck it rich! This is probably worth two hundred thousand taels!" Yun Su exclaimed after a quick glance, her face also filled with astonishment. Almost two hundred million copper coins!! Truly, a horse won't get fat without night grazing, and a man won't get rich without unexpected wealth!
"Su'er, you keep this safe." He handed the silver note to Yun Su.
Seeing that Yun Su was reluctant to take it, he explained, "Sometimes I need to go out, and it's inconvenient for you to need money then, plus I basically don't need it."
"Okay," Yun Su nodded, and with a wave of her hand, the silver note disappeared.
He Chen didn't delve into it. After thinking for a moment, he exchanged for two more spatial rings. They weren't large, with less than a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of space inside, and two thousand killing points!
'My heart aches! I have to go out tonight!'
"Yunyan, here, this is for you. It'll be more convenient to keep your weapons in here."
Bi Yunyan took it in utter astonishment. Tears welled in her eyes, threatening to spill over!
"Don't cry, sweetie!" she said, patting his head to comfort him.
He handed the other one to Fanghua, who was also deeply moved. She hugged him tightly.
Inside was also a large, exquisite jade vase! It was less than half a foot tall, and the mouth of the vase was slightly larger than a baby's fist. How extravagant!
I don't know what it is. When I shake it gently, it seems to be made of small grains.
"You all step back a bit. Let me open it and take a look." Although my divine sense didn't detect any danger, this item still needs to be handled with caution.
Slowly open the bottle. Pour out dozens of grains of rice, each the size of a chestnut. They were entirely blood red. They looked like rice grains, but the color was different. But were these really rice grains?
"Dragon Blood Rice seeds, brother, quickly put them away. Don't let the spiritual energy escape," Yun Su said hastily, then rushed to her side. She picked up a seed and examined it carefully. Then she said definitively,
"Brother, this is Dragon Blood Rice, incredibly precious. However, it consumes a great deal of spiritual energy; places with insufficient spiritual energy simply cannot cultivate it. Only a few major sects secretly cultivate some. The seeds are also extremely rare. A single grain of rice is equivalent to a precious-grade pill. Moreover, its effects have no side effects."
He then said, "Brother, keep this safe. If you have the chance in the future, you can try planting it. No wonder you're keeping it so secret. This 200,000 silver notes is probably intended to be used to cultivate one Dragon Blood Rice."
"Okay." She then noticed a change in her attributes, but didn't examine it closely at the moment. The women then huddled together, chatting under the moon.
Then, three people, wearing short-sleeved shirts with off-the-shoulder necklines, embroidered with butterflies, mandarin ducks, and azaleas. Instantly, in the cold night! People in the borderlands sleep early! Warm as spring, the night was filled with soft sounds. Two hours later! Sweetly, they drifted into a deep sleep!
Half an hour later, she sat on the edge of the bed, pulled the blanket up, and slowly stepped out the door.
With the knife on his shoulder, young man, you can't wait any longer!
