Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

After seeing Wangzai off, Zhao Mo decisively left.

Although Xu Zhangqing was the Spirit Nurturer on this Spirit Field side, with very high identity, status, and prestige, and should have worked hard to build a good relationship, he knew deep down that he couldn't rush.

With Dog and the golden-furred mother wolf bridging the connection, there was plenty of time ahead.

Hu Bugui, however, stayed behind, and with a mysterious expression, one look told you he had something to say.

Xu Zhangqing appeared thoughtful, then called out: "Come inside."

As for Wangzai, naturally it was left to its dog father to personally take care of.

Although the two were similar in fur color, their appearances were different.

As it grew larger, the yellow vortex on Wangzai's head became increasingly distinct.

The key point was, at only one month old it was full of vigor, and toward unfamiliar places it not only didn't feel fear, but instead explored everywhere, appearing quite excited.

When it got worked up, it would even actively bite Wangwang.

The bite was a real bite.

The pain was real pain.

This left Wangwang bothered beyond endurance, baring its teeth at Wangzai in a fit.

On the other side, Xu Zhangqing and Hu Bugui entered the stone house.

The door had just closed when Hu Bugui produced a storage bag: "Lao Xu, inside here is the total profit from the Gui Xu Secret Realm for the past twenty-odd days.

Of course, I've already deducted the costs."

Xu Zhangqing took it, swept his divine sense inside, and upon seeing so many spirit stones, was somewhat surprised, asking in astonishment: "Earning more and more in the later stages?"

Normally speaking, after fifteen days it would go downhill.

What's more, there was a mysterious person in the secret realm, so profits should have been affected.

But looking now, it actually earned more than imagined, this is simply inconceivable.

Hu Bugui explained: "Although an accident occurred in the Gui Xu Secret Realm, causing many people to not dare enter, quite a few Core Disciples and Formal Disciples formed large teams to explore deeply, so fewer people bought our goods, but the quantity sold actually increased."

From the first profit split all the way to the following twenty-odd days.

After deducting costs and adding it up, the total came to middle-grade spirit stones.

Equivalent to earning over ten thousand every day, simply terrifying.

Xu Zhangqing asked again: "Have you and Lao Zhao split it?"

Hu Bugui waved his hand: "You weren't here, how would we dare!"

Xu Zhangqing thought for a moment, then took out two small storage bags.

One for Lao Zhao, one for Lao Bai.

Then, he began dividing the spirit stones.

Spirit tools, spirit pills, medicinal herbs — almost all provided by himself — so he took the largest share.

Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue, both contributing money and effort, therefore took a portion.

As for Lao Bai, because he only provided spirit talismans, he couldn't compare to Lao Hu, but was higher than Lao Zhao.

Not long after, the spirit stones were divided cleanly.

Pure profit: middle-grade spirit stones.

Xu Zhangqing received.

Hu Bugui received.

Zhao Ziyue received.

Bai Xiaotian received.

Looking at so many spirit stones, Hu Bugui grinned with a foolish smile: "Lao Xu, next time there's this kind of opportunity you must find us!"

Feel like if I go all-in a few more times, I'll be able to buy the Spirit Beast Valley.

Then, one person managing all the spirit beasts' feces.

Those who once looked down on me... hmph hmph!

Xu Zhangqing put away his own and Lao Bai's spirit stones, then nodded: "Of course."

Hu Bugui turned to open the door while saying: "Winter's coming, I still need to buy more spirit land to build nests for the spirit beasts, so I'll head back first."

Xu Zhangqing followed behind: "Remember to notify Lao Zhao early."

Hu Bugui walked to the roadside, swiftly summoned his camel, then replied: "Rest assured, I've already sent someone to notify, he'll definitely be back these few days."

Then, he drove the camel and swaggered off.

Xu Zhangqing withdrew his gaze, turning to look at Wangwang and Wangzai beside the dog kennel.

Yet discovered, whether human or spirit beast, raising a child is a painful thing.

In less than a quarter hour of contact, Wangwang had been driven nearly crazy by Wangzai.

One eye on its master, head tilted to the side, as if saying: "You hurry up and manage it!"

Xu Zhangqing snickered: "Your own pup, naturally you manage it yourself."

Instantly, Wangwang's eyes held only helplessness and despair.

Click!

Crunch!

At this time, Wangzai clawed at the ground in a flurry, and stubbornly dug out a downward pit in an extremely short time.

Xu Changqing saw this and was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked over, and then carefully observed inside.

Good fellow, so young in age, yet its digging speed is comparable to the Spirit Insect Mother of the Reverse Meridian Dragon Transformation.

In just the span of a few breaths, it had already gone down at least three meters deep.

Moreover, it could turn however it wanted to turn, completely unaffected by the soil.

If this continued, the dog kennel would collapse, therefore Xu Changqing raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and pulled Wangzai, who was digging the hole, up from below.

Disturbed, the little dog let out a rather displeased "whine whine", its voice carrying a threatening meaning.

Wangwang swiped a claw over, making a "bang" sound, hurting the little dog until tears flowed out.

However it wasn't over; it immediately let out a burst of fierce low roars, its voice full of warning meaning.

Xu Changqing saw this in his eyes, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "It has both Wangwang's body type, and the ferocity of the Golden-Haired Mother Wolf.

And judging from the digging speed, it should be Earth Attribute; this dog pup's future is not simple ah."

But the more it is like this, the more I like it.

A peaceful life, one must always add a bit of fun.

Time flew by in a flash, arriving at noon.

Xu Changqing, who was cooking, suddenly received Hua Lao's notification.

"Xiao Xu!"

"Steward!"

"The Hongfeng Valley side has already been vacated; when will you go?"

"My side has just finished harvesting, feel free to go anytime."

"You go take a look first, decide on the rooms, Spirit Fields, and Spiritual Array positions."

"Got it!"

The communication ended, Xu Changqing put down the Spirit Nurturing Envoy's Token.

Just at this time, outside once again resounded the commotion of Wangwang disciplining Wangzai.

Judging by the looks of it, the little fellow caused trouble again.

Xu Changqing held the bowl, walking to the gate as if watching a show.

Just saw it chase, it flee.

It chase fiercely, it flee in panic.

Subsequently, Wangzai unexpectedly rushed into Gege's chicken coop.

It originally thought, a mere chicken should be nothing much.

Result never expected, the other party's body type was even larger than its own.

Before it could even get close, Gege lifted a leg and kicked out, not showing the slightest sentiment.

The little dog flew out over one meter away; this kick probably hurt a bit, and upon landing it immediately tucked its tail.

And then it ran "ying ying ying" to its dog father's side, the two sides pressed tightly together; looks like it won't dare act mischievous for a short time.

Xu Changqing and Wangwang, who witnessed this scene, not only did not feel heartache, but instead both grinned simultaneously, a burst of schadenfreude.

……

……

Today's Hongfeng Valley has already lost the bustle of former days.

The overall atmosphere is quiet.

Even when the wind rises, the Red Maple Ancient Tree no longer makes crisp "pa pa" sounds, but has turned into softer "sha sha" light rustles.

The buildings in the valley are already gone, only bare streets and ground remain.

From this end's entrance to the other end's exit, the ground is full of withered fallen leaves; the faint fishy smell of decay permeates the air.

Xu Changqing stands at the entrance, looking at the current scene, and couldn't help but sigh: "Truly, only after prosperity fades does one see true simplicity!"
