Between people, there still needs to be some emotional foundation.

When Qin Niu was destitute, she occasionally looked after him, providing food and even attempting to give him silver money to spend. She clearly noticed Qin Niu eating chaff and swallowing grass, yet she never exposed him, preserving his dignity and face.

Those little moments from the past built a solid foundation for their relationship.

Without Wang Furen’s interference, they might even have become childhood sweethearts.

“By the way, the silver money you used to help me buy the three Tempering Elixirs, I’m afraid it will take some time before I can repay you,”

Wang Wanyan took the initiative to speak up.

“Why bother repaying me? When I was down and out, you often helped me out, showing kindness that’s worth much more than three Tempering Elixirs. If you really consider me a friend, then stop bringing this up.”

Now, with a strong earning ability, he didn’t really care about those nine taels of silver.

The elixirs were something he willingly gave her.

“Then consider it a debt I owe you, and when you’re in need and I’m capable, I will repay you.” She looked at Qin Niu with a somber gaze, carrying her own pride and self-respect.

She was not willing to easily accept Qin Niu’s gifts.

Her pursuit of love, unlike Tang Caixian’s bold approach, was much more reserved, though she was brave too.

Between her and Qin Niu, their love was hazy.

They were both very green.

“Why speak so formally, as if we are strangers to each other! By the way, what level has your cultivation reached now? Tell me if you need anything. As long as it’s within my abilities, I am willing to help you with all my might.”

Qin Niu spoke very sincerely.

“I have reached the fivefold level of a mortal. Of course, there are needs, but I want to acquire those cultivation resources through my own efforts.” She was not the kind of woman who thought about relying on powerful men every day.

She had her own pride and integrity.

“Being independent and strong, that’s good. Have you thought about how you plan to earn money?”

“For now, the only thing I can think of is to find a bodyguard job. However, with my little cultivation, I can only work as a nurse for big families like the Yan Family in the countryside, but my father would definitely not agree. I plan to go to the city and see what I can find after I come of age. Actually, I envy people like you the most, who can make a lot of money while living in the countryside.”

She turned her head to look at Qin Niu again.

Her bright eyes sparkled with glimmers of light.

Filled with admiration, envy, and longing.

“Become an Insect Master like me?”

Qin Niu should have the ability to help her achieve this wish.

With his current experience in raising insects and the superb resources he had in hand, it would be no difficult task to cultivate a Grade Three insect.

One could say that he could help her achieve this with ease.

“To tell you the truth, I actually prefer becoming a Planting Master. I have some flowers and plants in my attic. Whenever I’m feeling upset, I always feel much happier when I see them.”

She, like most girls, did not enjoy raising insects but loved nurturing flowers and plants.

Girls are naturally fond of romance and colorful beauty.

“Actually, my favorite is also planting. However, my family was penniless, so I thought I’d first become an Insect Master to ensure a full belly, and then study planting techniques. If you don’t want to rely too much on your family, you could also consider a similar path. Once you have the identity of an Insect Master, not only will you exempt your household from ten acres of field taxes, but you’ll also have a stable income.”

Qin Niu offered her advice.

“I… I’m just a bit scared of little bugs, afraid they’ll bite me. Even an ant crawling on me makes my skin crawl involuntarily. Is becoming a Beast Tamer much more difficult? I’ve recently bought some books on animal taming and read that even if you just raise a common livestock or poultry well, you could still become a formidable Beast Tamer.”

She was a smart and decisive girl.

Young as she was, once she had an idea, she was able to implement it diligently.

“I’m not too familiar with being a Beast Tamer, but I believe that with your intelligence and perseverance, as long as it’s something you want to do, you’ll definitely succeed. Have you decided on what kind of pet you want to tame?”

“I want to start with raising a cat. It’s the only animal I can afford right now.”

“How about I go to the mountains and catch a wolf cub for you? I’m worried that a house cat’s growth potential might be a bit limited.”

Qin Niu said enthusiastically.

“Thank you, Alt Niu! A wolf needs to eat meat every day, and I’m a bit worried I won’t be able to afford it! Besides, catching a wolf cub is very dangerous, and I wouldn’t want you to take that risk.”

She declined.

“That’s fine too! You can start with a cat then. Do you know how to use a Contractual Talisman?”

“I’ve never used or bought one before. I read in a book that you just need to prick your fingertip, drop the blood on the activation zone, and that should trigger the talisman. I’m planning to go to the city tomorrow to buy a Contractual Talisman; do you know which store has good talismans?”

“I’ll give you one! This is a Low-grade Contract Charm, used for subduing pets with weak resistance. Otherwise, the contract might fail. If you’re raising a cat, you can feed it for a while, and when it’s familiar with you, then you can use the Contract Charm to establish a servant-master relationship with it.”

Qin Niu had a bunch of Low-grade Contract Charms.

Offering one to a beautiful lady didn’t even make him blink.

“I can’t let you give away something so valuable for free. Isn’t it one tael of silver per charm?”

She reached for the silver money on her waist.

Knowing the price so well, she must have looked into it beforehand.

“Just take it! If you really want to give something, wait until you’ve become a Beast Tamer and can earn money, then you can pay me back.”

Qin Niu placed the talisman in her hands.

Her touch was soft and gentle, and they both felt a bit unusual.

“Thanks! Ah, I owe you so much now; I’m not sure when I’ll be able to pay it all back!”

“I hope you never pay it back in a lifetime!”

Qin Niu joked with a grin.

That was the boldest thing he’d ever said.

She was quick-witted and immediately understood the implication, her pretty face involuntarily blushing.

“Alright, I’m going to head back now! I’ll try to see if I can contract my house cat. Seeing you improve by leaps and bounds every day, I should work hard too.”

She waved her hand and said goodbye to Qin Niu.

As for Qin Niu’s implicit offer of himself, she neither refused nor agreed.

Girls are generally shy, and being well-read from a young age, she knew the importance of propriety and decency. It wasn’t something she could easily agree to—usually, it would involve Qin Niu formally proposing, followed by her coyly accepting.

Moreover, with Tang Caixian from the neighboring village actively pursuing Qin Niu and having already sent a matchmaker to propose, it was even less likely for her to agree readily.

The next day, as soon as Qin Niu got up early in the morning, he sensed some activity in the broken water jar. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

By now, the main structure of his house was basically complete, and the construction of walls, flowerbeds, and fish ponds was underway. It was estimated that it would all be finished in about ten more days.

The little turtle had been motionless all this while, but now that there was a strange noise, it was likely that its evolution was complete.

He was very much looking forward to this.

If insects could evolve special abilities after consuming Banyan Tree Blood, the little turtle’s prolonged evolution should make it even stronger.

Once the fish pond was ready, keeping it there would be perfect.
