Heartless Phoenix Queen - C246
However, Xue Mingrui’s breeding progress was not very smooth, and the survival rate of the wild boar was very low. Although the big sows had given birth to a litter of little pigs, all of those little pigs fell to the ground after eating their fill, dying inexplicably.
Zi Yuan was also very curious about this phenomenon, so after carefully inspecting Xue Mingrui’s pig house, she wondered if the pig house wasn’t doing well enough to prevent the disease.
She asked Xue to rebuild a larger stone house and separate the adult pigs. She also disinfected the pigs with traditional Chinese medicine and suggested adding chopped indigowoad leaves and roots to the coarse grains she had bought in the village outside the mountain.
Although Xue Mingrui didn’t really understand the meaning behind his actions, because he was a complete idiot from the breeding industry, he could only treat Zi Yuan as a living horse when he saw how confident he was.
Qu Shuangshuang brought back two hens and a rooster one time when she went to market with Helene to the village outside the mountain. Zi Yuan stopped Helian, who wanted to eat chicken, and instead suggested that Xue Mingrui raise them.
Xue Mingrui, who was very interested in farming, naturally accepted her suggestion and built a nice chicken coop out of branches and bamboo. Every day, Qu Shuangshuang took the chickens out to hunt for food, eating some small insects and the like.
Only a week had passed, and an old reed hen had laid an egg. This made the breeding idiot Xue Mingrui extremely happy. He immediately accepted Zi Yuan as a breeding god. What was interesting was that the other old hen had the desire to hatch. After the second laying of the egg by the reed old hen, it couldn’t wait to hatch the egg.
Zi Yuan carefully carried the hatchling hen in her arms and glanced at the egg in the sunlight. According to the books she had read before, this egg should be a refined egg.
From then on, every time the old reed hen laid an egg, the other hen would move the egg over and hatch on its own, while Ziyuan would go one by one to check if it was a fertilized egg. If it wasn’t, she would take it out to make ingredients.
The happy days of the village soon passed. The first batch of chickens hatched very smoothly. Xue Mingrui, who had never successfully raised a chicken before, couldn’t help but bow in admiration towards the learned Zi Yuan because he couldn’t help but kill him and eat him. Helian was also surprised that his family’s powerful wife did not have good intentions towards the red kitchen. However, she seemed to have some experience in breeding.
Qu Shuangshuang was also very excited about becoming the Chicken King. In the end, she was still a twelve or thirteen year old Nutmeg girl, so her playfulness was actually quite heavy.
The days passed one by one, and soon, a new year had arrived. This mountain range was located to the south, so it didn’t snow in winter. Zi Yuan had already learned all of Helian Fen Ren’s moves, and the next step was to increase his proficiency. Thus, the Violet Garden began to frequently stay at the top of the mountain. This caused Helian heartache, and he clamored to follow. However, the Violet Garden did not want him to travel with her. She still slept alone.
Other than Huang Sisi and her son, there were bears, wolves, leopards, cats and other predators in the mountain. It was very dangerous to stay in the mountain at night.
The reason why the Violet Garden chose to do so wasn’t to train her courage, but purely to train her techniques.
The first time they met the wolf, Zi Yuan was still in a sorry state. The cunning and disciplined nature of the wolves caused Violetflower to suffer, and her left leg was bitten. The smell of human flesh and blood attracted the wolves, who glared at her, ready to devour her at any moment.
Ziggy calmly bandaged her injured left leg while tidying up the remaining needles and darts in her hidden weapons bag. When the head wolf started to attack, she accurately used a chemical dart to hit the head wolf. After that, Goddess of Heaven scattered and the Pear Blossom Rain Needles hit the vital points of the other wolves. The other wolves saw that the situation was not good, so they attacked and hurriedly escaped. Thus, Zi Yuan was able to carry the sturdy head wolf and several strong wolves back to the cave.
Helian Lie, who had been able to defeat Huang Sisi for several days in a row, felt somewhat defeated by this valiant act. However, Zi Yuan still consoled him with the fact that all she had learned was area-of-effect skills, which was why she was able to defeat the wolf pack.
With a skillful blow, he skinned the wolves that Zi Yuan had brought. She made a very cute wolf-head hat for Shuangshuang, and made a warm fur sweater for Viola with wolfskin. The wolf meat was something that each of them wanted to eat, so they gave it to Huang Sisi and her son.
In the night of constant self-challenge, Ziyuan finally found traces of a natural hot spring pool in the mountains. There, he saw many monkeys bathing in hot springs.
Looking at the primate animals, the Violet Garden felt a rare sense of sympathy. Therefore, she patiently waited for the monkeys to leave before taking off her clothes and jumping into the hot spring pool comfortably. The feeling of tiredness instantly disappeared, making her feel extremely comfortable. This could be considered the most comfortable moment in her life since she had reincarnated into this world!
The warm spring water that was around forty degrees Celsius soaked Zi Yuan’s skin in a faint shade of red. While eliminating her fatigue, it also caused her to relax her vigilance.
This caused Helian Lie, who had been secretly following the Violet Garden, to hide in a corner. It was truly unbearable. His skin, which had gradually turned tender due to the immersion of hot water, was paired with the expression of enjoyment on Zi Yuan’s cold face. This caused Helian Lie’s blood to swell very quickly.
Zi Yuan had long since noticed Helian’s movements. It was just that she did not know who it was. Thus, when Helian got up, she threw the dart out.
“Murder of my husband!” When Ziyuan realized that something was wrong, he struck out with his palm to quickly deflect the dart aimed at Helian. In fact, Helian had already avoided the dart’s attack path with great dexterity.
Leaping into the water with a strange cry, Helian realized that this natural hot spring pool was very shallow. He stood up and walked to the middle of his buttocks. With a blushing face, Zi Yuan blamed him for secretly following her. Helian smiled as he held her tightly, then brought his body close to the steaming hot body of Zi Yuan.
It was a good spring day, and all of it fell into the eyes of Helian Lie. Helian’s big hands restlessly covered the ravine on the front of Zi Yuan’s chest. His warm lips covered the little mouth of Zi Yuan. Amidst the mist of the hot spring, he tried his best to extract some happy nutrients from his beloved princess’s mouth. Zi Yuan, who was originally standing in the water like Helian, unknowingly softened his body. His smooth legs glowed with pink light as he leisurely hung his waist. Helian’s restless hands had to hold her waist to keep her balance.
However, Zi Yuan began to twist his waist restlessly. The warm spring water that he patted began to ripple out in a circle, just like the two of them were …
The two of them spent some time in the hot spring before getting dressed and preparing to return to the cave. On the way, they accidentally bumped into Blind Bear, who didn’t hibernate yet.
If it was the past, Zi Yuan definitely wouldn’t risk his life against Blind Xiong. However, the current her could be considered as an expert with great courage. In addition, there was also Helian whose martial arts had improved. Zi Yuan felt that they had the advantage in a 2v1 fight.
As expected, the battle soon ended. Blind Bear didn’t even have the chance to enter their bodies before he was knocked down. Since the bear was an animal in need of protection in Violet Garden’s conception, she did not strike a fatal blow, and as if Helian had understood her intentions, his intention was only to defeat the bear. So after they had knocked the stupid bear down, they kindly brought him a whole honey and two chamois, carried him to an empty tree trunk, put the food away, patted the big stupid bear, and went back.
On the way, Zi Yuan asked Helian Lie why he had not attacked him. Helian Haoyan smiled and said, “I felt like it was just starving. I didn’t know why, but I thought of Huang Xiaoming when I saw it, so I couldn’t attack it.”
When the two of them returned to the cave, Xue Mingrui suddenly told them that it was about time for them to leave the mountain. However, he felt that the dark guards of Helian and the Twin Stars of Zi Yuan should gather some elites and train in the mountain for a month to increase their combat prowess.
Zi Yuan felt that this plan was very good and immediately began to make the necessary arrangements.
In total, he selected a thousand people to enter the mountain and set up camp on another mountain. As Zi Yuan trained these people with Helian, she pondered over the contents of her killer school’s middle and high school as well as the proper selection mechanism. She suddenly had an idea. She thought of Fen Ren and felt that she and Xue Mingrui were very suitable to become instructors at the Advanced Killer School. The high school address that she had wanted to set wasn’t too far away from this mountain range, so she decided that she might as well move the school over here.
Zi Yuan had always been swift and decisive. She quickly informed the Twin Stars who were in charge of the high-grade school. At the same time, she discussed with Xue Mingrui and his wife about the possibility of becoming instructors. Xue Mingrui expressed his unwillingness, but Fu Ren showed an expression of yearning. In the end, Xue submitted to her wishes, but only if Zi Yuan had fulfilled his promise to help them find their son and his descendants.
The thousand elites that had entered the mountain did not encounter any of the Western Paradise Celestial Armored Soldiers. It was unknown whether the group of armored soldiers had retreated from the mountain range or continued to hide. This mountain was vast, and if he wanted to hide, it would be difficult to find him.
After discussing it with Helian, the two of them decided that the couple should act separately. Helian remained in the mountain, training the thousand elites with Qu Shuangshuang and Xue Mingrui, while Zi Yuan went alone to the west to investigate the Xue Mingrui’s son.
Actually, in Violet Garden’s heart, she had a bold guess about Xue Mingrui and his wife’s son, and that was whether he was Tang Ao’s father or not. If he was Tang Ao’s father, then Tang Ao would be Xue Mingrui’s grandson. At first, Zi Yuan had wondered if Tang Ao might be the founder of the “Tang Sect” in this space and time. After all, his heavy crossbows, formations, and secret weapon techniques were all very similar to the Tang Sect’s martial arts. If he really was the grandson of Xue Mingrui and Helian Fen, then the Tang Sect of this era would definitely be the first sect to open a mountain.
This was an intuition of the Violet Garden, so even though she didn’t have any evidence, she decided to give it a try first. After all, the way the sea searched for people was not how she, Zi Yuan, did things.
