Leave Ziyun Peak.
Qin Luo and his group encountered Xiong Shan on the road.
Xiong Shan carried a tree stump and kept knocking it against the gravel road.
Qin Luo took out a freshly picked purple fruit, tossed it to Xiong Shan, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's no trouble at all. Serving the people in the mountains is my duty." Xiong Shan caught the purple fruit, his eyes filled with joy. He naturally knew the value of the purple fruit.
Qin Luo said softly, "Get some rest."
Xiong Shan put away the purple fruit and said with a serious expression, "Master Dao, I still have energy. I'll rest when it gets dark."
"You can arrange it yourself."
Qin Luo and Hua Ying slowly walked away.
Once they were out of sight, Xiong Shan rubbed his back and took a breath, saying, "I'm exhausted."
When passing by Black Mountain, Qin Luo came to the mountain god temple halfway up the mountain, where Chen Chang'an was reading a book.
Hearing footsteps, Chen Chang'an stood up, his eyes filled with joy, "Brother Qin, it's the Flower Fairy!"
Qin Luo smiled and said, "Chang'an, I plan to invite all the mountain and water spirits of the Ziyun Mountains to a gathering. I would like to borrow your Black Mountain for that occasion."
"no problem."
Chen Chang'an nodded with a smile.
"See you then!"
Qin Luo left with Hua Ying.
...
evening.
After strolling around the mountains, Qin Luo and Hua Ying returned to Luoxia Peak. The autumn leaves in the mountains were golden, and the distant sky was dyed red by the sunset.
Longhu Temple.
Golden Horn wagged its tail in front of the Taoist temple.
Qin Luo tossed a purple fruit to Jin Jiao.
After swallowing the purple fruit, Golden Horn wagged its tail, bared its teeth, and excitedly said, "Thank you, Boss."
Qin Luo nodded with a smile.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the backyard of the Taoist temple. Ziyue and the others sat together eating peanuts, while Caixia played with a roly-poly toy.
The little dumpling held a bowl of wine, exclaiming, "Feels so good!"
Seeing Qin Luo return to the Taoist temple, the little dumpling put down her bowl, wiped her mouth, and said, "Big brother, I'll peel peanuts for you."
Looking at the table full of boiled peanuts, Qin Luo smiled and asked, "Did Elder Dong send these peanuts over?"
The little dumpling nodded, "Yes, these salted peanuts are so fragrant. But if you eat too many, you'll want to drink alcohol. This jar of wine was also sent by Elder Dong. Elder Dong often brings us food, and he also often carries firewood for Jinghu Academy."
As soon as Qin Luo and Hua Ying sat down, the little dumpling peeled a peanut and offered it to Qin Luo's mouth.
"Boss, go ahead and eat!"
Did you wash your hands?
"this......"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Ziyue and the others were amused.
"snort!"
"I'll eat it myself."
The little dumpling brought back the peanuts.
Qin Luo scooped up a handful of peanuts and started peeling them, eating them with relish. "These are really good snacks to go with drinks."
When the little dumpling saw Qin Luo eating peanuts, it grinned and asked, "Boss, did you wash your hands?"
"No."
Qin Luo shook his head.
The little dumpling stood with her hands on her hips and said, "Then why are you criticizing me?"
Qin Luo said calmly, "I don't pick my toes."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Ziyue and the others were amused again.
Even Hua Ying covered her mouth and laughed out loud.
The little dumpling blushed and said, "I didn't pick my toes."
Qin Luo handed Hua Ying a handful of salted peanuts, "These peanuts are still warm, they're delicious."
Hua Ying peeled open a salted peanut, put the peanut in her mouth, and chewed it slowly. "It tastes really good."
Qin Luo asked curiously, "Where is Master?"
Jin Yan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Master left early this morning and hasn't returned yet."
Ziyue was also a little worried, "Senior brother, do you think Master really won't come back this time?"
Qin Luo looked at the old peach tree in the yard, smiled slightly, and said softly, "No, it won't happen."
"I'll really miss Master if he leaves."
"Me too."
"It's alright, the Great Protector will protect you."
After finishing the peanuts in his hand, Qin Luo took out the purple fruit he had picked from Ziyun Peak and distributed them to Zi Yue and the others. He also threw one of the purple fruits to the little black cat lying on a high place. The little black cat caught the purple fruit with one hand, turned around, and disappeared into the night.
The little dumpling recognized the purple fruit at a glance. She blinked and said, "Boss, this purple fruit was picked from Purple Cloud Peak, right? I've been there before, but there are restrictions there."
"Yes."
Qin Luo nodded slightly.
The little boy clung to Qin Luo's arm, "Big brother, can you take me next time?"
Qin Luo shook his head. "It was Sister Huaying who took me in. You should ask her to take you."
The little dumpling came to Huaying's side, blinked, and had an adorable expression on her face. "Sister Huaying, can you take me to Ziyun Peak to pick fruit?"
Hua Ying peeled salted peanuts, chewing slowly and deliberately, pretending not to hear and ignoring the little dumpling.
"Sister Huaying, please?"
The little dumpling continued to act cute.
Hua Ying's lips curled up slightly. "If you give me three hundred taels, I'll take you to Ziyun Peak to pick fruit."
The little dumpling tilted her head. She knew that three hundred taels of silver was hard to earn. You couldn't make money selling roasted insects in the Purple Cloud Mountains. Only the old abbot of the Dragon Tiger Temple could afford to give out so much money.
"Sister Huaying, please."
Not a single penny less.
"snort."
The little dumpling turned around and hugged Qin Luo's arm. "Boss, she's your defeated opponent. You're sure you can get into Ziyun Peak. Take me with you, okay?"
"I'll take you there when I have time."
"Hehe, the boss is still the best."
"Just keep spoiling her."
Qin Luo reminded him, "Jin Yan's steadiness, Cai Xia's knowledge, Xiao Die's diligence, and Xuan Qing's maturity—they have so many good qualities; you should learn from them."
Xuanqing scratched his head sheepishly.
