Chapter 249: Ten Thousand Mu Space

This time, his main purpose was to bring Lu Youqiang back. When he returned yesterday, it was still being kept by Lin Zhangqing in the spirit beast bracelet!

He released Lu Youqiang from the spirit beast bracelet, and before the other deer could come over, he stuffed a hundred-year Vermilion Fruit into Lu Youqiang's mouth; this was its reward.

Soon after, the deer came over, surrounding Lin Zhangqing and bleating "You-you!" incessantly. Fortunately, this sound was still relatively elegant and pleasant.

He fed all the deer Spirit Nurturing Pills, then petted and groomed them, and after playing with them for a while, he let them go off to play on their own.

He patrolled the space once and roughly measured it. The current area of the space was estimated to be about nine thousand eight hundred mu. Walking around it once also took quite a bit of time.

It was a pity that it was quite desolate. Except for the central part where spirit medicines and spirit plants were planted, the other places were all empty.

Now, the Alfalfa pasture was already nearly one hundred mu, and there were fifty mu of various fresh flowers, about fifty mu of hundred-year Vermilion Fruit trees, and various spirit plants also occupied several hundred mu.

However, adding them all up, the planting area was still less than one thousand mu, which meant only about one-tenth of the space's area was used. The remaining nine-tenths were just left empty, which was truly a pity.

The problem was that he didn't have enough manpower to plant and manage it. The deer could help take care of things, but they had no way to plant or harvest for you; these still required manpower.

But what was lacking now was manpower, and it had to be someone Lin Zhangqing could look upon favorably and control. This inner space was too important and truly could not afford any mistakes, so Lin Zhangqing kept a tight grip on the personnel aspect.

He exited the inner space. Since it was still early, he decided to go take a look at Aoyun Peak.

After leaving his own courtyard, he flew directly to Aoyun Peak on his sword. He was still halfway there when First-One and Second-One flew over, circling and weaving around Lin Changqing.

On a whim, Lin Zhangqing kept chasing behind Chuer at high speed, flying around Aoyun Peak dozens of times.

This was a game Lin Changqing used to play with First-One when he practiced flying in the past. Now he let Second-One experience it once too. The person and the two birds played for over two hours, and after having their fill of fun, they landed at the entrance of the courtyard on Aoyun Peak.

Unexpectedly, he saw Lin Changlian alone, lying in the pavilion of the courtyard, lost in thought.

Lin Zhangqing understood that the death of the Fourteenth Uncle was a huge blow to her. She certainly hadn't let go of it even now. As a companion who grew up together, Lin Zhangqing felt he should do something.

After thinking it over, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and released the remaining hundred-plus Purple Crystal Scorpions, letting them run invisibly to Lin Changlian's side.

When they reached the front, back, left, and right of Lin Changlian, and even the stone table she was lying on, they were all covered with Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Then, with a thought from Lin Zhangqing, all the Purple Crystal Scorpions simultaneously deactivated their invisibility, suddenly appearing in unison before Lin Changlian, startling her into a scream.

However, she immediately reacted; this must be Lin Zhangqing returning.

Needless to say, the one pranking her must be Lin Zhangqing, so she shouted angrily: "Lin Zhangqing! You come out here! See how I deal with you!"

"Haha! I won't. If you want to deal with me, wait until you catch me first!"

After saying this, he ran toward the area where Lin Changlian often played hide-and-seek with the Purple Crystal Scorpions.

"Catch me within half an hour, and I'll tell you a piece of good news! If you can't catch me, then there won't be any!"

After saying this, he let out a "Whoosh!" and rushed into the bushes, disappearing!

Lin Changlian was so angry she laughed. She shouted toward the direction where Lin Zhangqing disappeared: "If it's not good news, you are truly dead!"

After saying this, she also rushed in and started searching. She was very familiar with this place; she didn't believe Lin Zhangqing could avoid her capture.

Unfortunately, she had encountered Lin Zhangqing, the king of cheating.

Now he was sitting on the branch of a very conspicuous large tree, covered by that light gauze artifact, watching Lin Changlian pass by under the tree. Lin Zhangqing chuckled to himself.

He controlled himself not to make a sound, and then watched Lin Changlian busy herself for over half an hour, but the result was nothing. After the time was up, Lin Zhangqing waited a little longer to avoid Lin Changlian quibbling or playing dirty, and only then did he put the light gauze treasure back into his storage bag.

Then he flew into mid-air and shouted to Lin Changlian, who was still searching around: "Twelfth Sister, time is up, you didn't catch me! This time you lost!"

"This doesn't count, you must have cheated. In such a small place, how could I not find you!" Seeing Lin Zhangqing appear, Lin Changlian was still quite unconvinced.

Lin Zhangqing didn't care about her and flew directly back to the pavilion in the courtyard.

Seeing that the Purple Crystal Scorpions were still here, with a thought, they turned invisible and then rushed toward the large rock where they used to sunbathe.

Purple Crystal Scorpions are light-attribute spirit beasts, and they especially like to sunbathe. At Chen Zi Ya's house, Lin Zhangqing also often let them out to sunbathe.

Now that he was back at Nine Peaks Mountain, he just let them stay here, and he would come find them when needed.

After arranging the Purple Crystal Scorpions, Lin Changlian still came over angrily and sat opposite Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing took out a tea set and started brewing Green Jade Spirit Tea. Having stayed with Chen Zi Ya for so long and admired her tea art for so long, Lin Zhangqing's own tea art had also improved a little bit.

At the very least, what he brewed now was definitely better than before.

He presented a cup of Green Jade Spirit Tea to Lin Changlian.

"Drink some tea, Twelfth Sister!"

Lin Changlian took the spirit tea and took a sip, discovering that it was actually second-grade Green Jade Spirit Tea. Thinking that Lin Zhangqing had specifically taken it out to treat her, her mood improved slightly.

She looked at him and asked: "Not long after the beast tide, the Clan Leader brought most of the clansmen back."

"At that time, in the family square, I didn't see you, and I was quite startled, thinking something had happened to you, and I felt very sad!"

"Later, I asked your sister and only then learned that you were fine, and that Great-Grandmother had just given you another task."

"Is the task finished now? When did you get back?"

"The task was naturally finished; don't look at who took it on, it can be considered a piece of cake! It's just that when I returned to Great-Grandmother to report the task, I heard her say it, and only then did I know something had happened at home. I rushed back with all my might and only arrived yesterday."

"I know about the Fourteenth Uncle's matter. You should grieve, but I think that since so much time has passed, you should also move on. The Fourteenth Uncle certainly wouldn't want to see you like this now."

Lin Changlian shook her head and said: "I always can't help but think of him! Especially when I'm at home or when I'm alone!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, considered it for a moment, and still said: "The family is currently investigating the Foundation Establishment cultivators who might have attacked. I believe there will be results soon. Regarding the Fourteenth Uncle's matter, the family will definitely avenge him!"

Lin Changlian nodded and said: "I know, the Clan Leader told me similar things!"

"You just said you had good news to tell me, you can say it now!"

The sudden turn of events almost made Lin Zhangqing unable to hold back and blurt out the truth, but fortunately, he stopped in time.

Lin Zhangqing chuckled a few times and said: "You didn't catch me just now, so I can't tell you the good news!"

"However, I had quite a good harvest while executing the task outside this time. I can give you a gift. Is there anything you want? Tell me and see if I have it. If I do, I'll give you one!"
