Chapter 805: New Year's Money
After dealing with the Decayed Fairy, Lu Yang ran into Yun Mengmeng as soon as he went out.
"Second-in-Command, Happy New Year."
After saying that, Yun Mengmeng reached out and blinked at Lu Yang, leaving him completely confused.
"Second-in-Command, it's time to give New Year's money," Yun Mengmeng reminded in a low voice, feeling a bit shy. *How awkward to say such things out loud. *
"Give a red envelope? Wait a minute, Dream Sister, whether we look at it from the perspective of cultivation or age, shouldn't you be the one giving me New Year's money?"
Yun Mengmeng said righteously: "But you are the Second-in-Command, and I am the Third-in-Command."
"I..."
Yun Mengmeng's words directly choked Lu Yang. Lu Yang had no other choice but to obediently give the New Year's money.
The money wasn't much; it was mainly the thought that counted.
"Fourth Junior Brother, Happy New Year."
Senior Sister Gan Tian also came and gave Lu Yang New Year's money.
"Wait a moment, Little Tian, taste this." Yun Mengmeng stuffed a paper bag into Gan Tian's hand.
"This is?"
Gan Tian opened the paper bag, which contained things like melon seeds, peanuts, and winter melon candy.
"Hehe, I've already inquired about it. You should eat these things during the New Year." To prepare these things, Yun Mengmeng had been paying attention to whose melon seeds were delicious and whose peanuts were delicious, and had learned it all.
"Second-in-Command, you have some too." Yun Mengmeng also gave Lu Yang a bag of snacks.
"Thank you."
Lu Yang ate a melon seed, and the rich spiritual energy rushed straight to his crown.
"Where did you get these melon seeds?" Lu Yang was shocked. A tiny melon seed contained such rich spiritual energy?
"Oh, I opened a piece of land in the Medicine Garden to grow sunflowers, peanuts, and so on. I usually cultivate them with top-grade spirit stones and water them with Taiyi True Water. The little Medicine Kings also help take care of them."
Yun Mengmeng said casually. She wasn't a cultivator who didn't know how to work; on the contrary, she paid attention to food quality and believed that what she grew herself was of the highest quality.
And the facts were exactly as she said; no one's melon seed quality could exceed what Yun Mengmeng grew.
Cultivating sunflowers with top-grade spirit stones—even Lu Yang, who had a fortune, felt his liver tremble when he heard that.
*Is the pocket money the Eldest Senior Sister gives you meant to be used like this? *
"I have delicious things too. I grew them myself, so consider it New Year's money."
Seeing Little Yangzi shocked by the sunflowers Yun Mengmeng grew, the Decayed Fairy felt she couldn't let the Third-in-Command outshine her.
She didn't know where she pulled out a golden apple and held it out to Lu Yang: "Second-in-Command, Happy New Year. This is a New Year's gift."
The Immortal's blessing, the Emperor's gift, and the Eldest Senior Sister's care for her subordinates made Lu Yang feel flattered.
"Many thanks, Fairy." Lu Yang took the apple and smelled a fresh fragrance. Although it was grown by the Fairy, since it was a fruit, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
"Fairy, when did you grow apples?" Lu Yang was curious. It was one thing for Yun Mengmeng to grow sunflowers in the Medicine Garden, but he really couldn't see it. How could the Decayed Fairy grow apples while living in the mental space?
"What apple? This is the prototype of the Decayed Dao Fruit. If you eat it, you will have the prototype of the Decayed Dao Fruit." The Decayed Fairy looked at Lu Yang expectantly.
Lu Yang was so scared he shivered, barely managing to hold onto the prototype of the Decayed Dao Fruit.
*So it's that easy to get the prototype of the Decayed Dao Fruit? *
If this were placed in the outside world, the Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators would fight until their brains were smashed.
The Decayed Fairy laughed triumphantly: "Do you think anyone who eats it can obtain the prototype of the Decayed Dao Fruit? Only you, Second-in-Command, can do it."
"I won't eat it."
Lu Yang had lofty aspirations. A mere Half-Immortal was not his goal; he must become an immortal, and an immortal who wouldn't be bullied by the Decayed Fairy all day long.
If he ate the prototype of the Decayed Dao Fruit, wouldn't he be unable to turn the tables against the Decayed Fairy for the rest of his life?
But there was no reason for the Decayed Fairy to take back what she had given away. No matter what Lu Yang said, the Decayed Fairy wouldn't take back the prototype of the Decayed Dao Fruit.
Lu Yang sighed and had to accept it for the time being.
"Where is the Eldest Senior Sister?"
"Little Zhi went home. She said she would be back on the first day of the New Year," Yun Mengmeng said while eating melon seeds.
"Then why didn't you go back?"
"Oh, I'm planning to go home on the first day of the New Year."
"Fine."
"The mood of the New Year might help me compose a new piece. I'll take my leave first." Senior Sister Gan Tian didn't forget to practice even during the New Year.
Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng were both celebrating the New Year in the sect for the first time. The two went down the mountain together and ran into Meng Jingzhou, who was visiting people everywhere.
Meng Jingzhou's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Yang, and he was very generous: "Old Lu, Happy New Year. Here's your New Year's money."
"Go to hell!" Lu Yang laughed and kicked out. Meng Jingzhou had anticipated it and dodged easily.
The two played around for a while before Lu Yang asked: "Why didn't you go home?"
Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes as he put away the New Year's money: "It's because my family's ancestor has become superstitious ever since he was beaten up in the Buddha Kingdom. He said I shouldn't go back, as it's easy to attract disaster."
Lu Yang shook his head with regret: "Senior Meng Junzi is so old, why does he still believe in this? He was beaten up in the Buddha Kingdom because of his bad luck. How did it get linked to the two of us?"
"Right?" Meng Jingzhou agreed deeply. When the two of them were in the Buddha Kingdom, nothing happened, except for the appearance of the Vice Sect Master of the Ruthless Sect at the early stage of Tribulation Transcendence, which didn't count as a big deal.
Lu Yang also felt it wasn't a big deal, but he was still worried and asked Yun Mengmeng, who was eating melon seeds next to him: "Dream Sister, if you encounter a cultivator at the early stage of Tribulation Transcendence in the Buddha Kingdom, does it count as a big deal?"
Yun Mengmeng sucked on a salty melon seed and was a bit puzzled: "What kind of big deal is that?"
Seeing Yun Mengmeng agree with his point of view, Lu Yang nodded. It seemed his cognition wasn't wrong, so he had to comfort Old Meng: "The senior is old and easily superstitious. Understandable."
"Yeah." Meng Jingzhou sighed. As a junior, he could only follow the elder's wishes.
Seeing Man Gu had gone back to the Barbarian Clan for the New Year and was not in the Congwendao Sect.
Su Yiren and Qin Yanyan both came to the Congwendao Sect for the New Year. Li Haoran's family was happy and harmonious, and they were making dumplings.
To be precise, the whole family was studying how to make a magic treasure that automatically wraps dumplings.
Seeing Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng visiting, the whole family welcomed them warmly, but Lu Yang didn't dare to stay here for long, fearing that the Decayed Fairy would think of something and want to make dumplings too.
Fortunately, the Decayed Fairy didn't have the terrifying idea of making dumplings during the New Year, but just recalled the past events of the ancient era.
"Come to think of it, isn't there a custom of putting copper coins in dumplings during the New Year? Whoever eats it will have good luck."
"When I made dumplings, I also secretly put in a copper coin, saying that whoever ate it, I would provide their meals for a whole year."
"But it's quite strange. The dumplings were all eaten, but none of the four, including the Ying Tian Immortal, ate that copper coin."
Lu Yang thought to himself, *who would dare to say they ate it? If it were me, I would grit my teeth and swallow the copper coin. *
"Do you think it's possible that because I made star-core-filled dumplings, they ate the copper coin as a star core?" ===== CHAPTER 806 =====
