Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 716 - 700: Wishing Everyone Well on the Dragon Boat Festival!

The little spiritual bird couldn't help but secretly rejoice upon hearing the words.

Initially, when I found Mr. Jiang at the Celestial Sword Sect, I wanted to leave with him, but I was enlightened to perform my duties responsibly.

Moreover, when Old Li took me away, Mr. Jiang was concerned that my intelligence was insufficient and could be exploited by evil people, so he didn't let me read that book of cultivation techniques again.

It must be Mr. Jiang's foresight and divine calculation, otherwise how could both matters be arranged so perfectly?

Without continuing to study the cultivation techniques and returning to East Lake, my low abilities didn't arouse suspicion; otherwise, I might have been beaten to death by Yu Zeyang a few days ago;

Without continuing to follow Old Li, but instead heeding Mr. Jiang's guidance to return to East Lake Port to warn the people, I had the chance to steal a magical artifact and protect many lives from the flood disaster.

Though confused, I learned some simple principles from Lord County Magistrate, knowing that this act of saving lives is a great virtue!

When I meet Mr. Jiang again, he will surely be pleased that I was able to protect the people in the area.

After warming the wine, the little bird perched on the treetop, appearing obedient and quiet as if waiting for orders, actually eavesdropping on insider information.

Meanwhile, hoping they'd drink quickly and get drunk, I must find a way to deliver some food to the trapped people who have been stuck for two days. The elderly and children must be starving.

"Oh? It even came back specifically to plead for the ordinary people of East Lake Port? So, it can speak now?" Huang Shan, seeing the little bird's pretty appearance and hearing about its intelligence and ability to talk, took a liking to it.

Think about the sense of accomplishment in raising a naive creature to wisdom, who could refuse that?

Yu Zeyang, already a bit drunk, clapped his hands and said, "Little Birdie, say hello to Brother Huang."

"Good evening, Senior Huang." The little bird's voice was melodious and lively, just from listening, one could imagine that if it could transform one day, it would surely be a clever and adorable little girl.

"Ah! Good, good, good!" Huang Shan's eyes sparkled even brighter, liking it even more!

His voice softened considerably, his tone like teasing a child, "Little Birdie, what do you usually do at East Lake Port?"

"Replying to Senior, usually, there's nothing much, just wandering around to look. With my master's protection, no demon beast dares to act recklessly."

"Tsk tsk, listen to how well it speaks!" His eyes were full of envy, wishing he could take it home for enjoyment and training, he joked, "Brother Yu, could you part with it? I am willing to exchange it for a magical treasure!"

Talking about this, Yu Zeyang became even more smug, shaking his head, "What a pity, when I picked up the little birdie, I thought it was fun, so I signed a life-and-death contract with it.

Unless I die and my path ends, it cannot recognize a new master, and no matter where it is, as long as I wish, I can control it. If I hid the truth and gifted it to Brother Huang, your life might be at risk at any time."

Indeed, what a pity!

Such an adorable little bird, yet recognized such a gambler as its master, who knows what its future holds, truly wasting it!

Upon hearing this, the light dimmed in Huang Shan's eyes, then quickly brightened. Thinking he originally came out of goodwill to advise, since he is so arrogant and dismissive, why waste my breath?

Just let that Yu go court death, when he's dead, the little bird will be without a master, then I'll be there to pick up the pieces, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Thinking of this, Huang Shan stood up to bid farewell, "Brother Yu, I am not good at holding my liquor, and I am slightly drunk, so I'll take my leave for now and meet another day.

With the lake flooding East Lake, I suppose Zhao Yan, who cultivates the fire element technique, is also helpless. Brother Yu can be at ease for now, should you need assistance, feel free to call upon me at any time!"

Yu Zeyang, unaware of his boastful slip after drinking, didn't suspect anything and laughed heartily, "Fortunately, we brothers help each other, if someday you need me, I wouldn't hesitate to face any risk for Brother Yu!"

He responded with an agreeable smile, though Huang Shan thought to himself, damn, stop saying nice words, you'd better hurry up and die, the little bird is truly adorable, I must have it!

After sending off Huang Shan, who came to help, Yu Zeyang immediately activated all the array formations of the cave to prepare for a focused cultivation, aiming to completely refine it soon.

The enormous shell vanished at the bottom of the lake under the effect of the array, leaving the little spiritual bird anxious. Helpless without the authority to enter or exit the cave, it could only perch on the branch daydreaming.

Huang Shan, leaving the cave, drifted a distance at the bottom of the water, hiding behind a rock to perform the curse technique.

Muttering softly for a moment, he revealed a smug smile, "Oh Brother Yu, such a compulsive gambler yet he has such good fortune: a cave acquired by chance and a little bird picked up, truly envy-inducing.

Showing it off yet unwilling to trade, don't blame me for being sneaky behind your back. Such a good little bird, following you is too much grievance, with me, it can live a stable life!"

After casting the curse, he couldn't bring himself to leave.

After all, outside lurks Zhao Yan with many helpers watching closely, in case the curse takes effect and brings bad luck to Yu Zeyang, he must ensure the little bird isn't harmed in any fight.

Moreover, this cave, made from a supreme treasure obtained from the legendary Sea of Heaven, should not be let go cheaply to someone else.

Huang Shan found a concealed spot to sit cross-legged and practice breathing, waiting patiently for the best moment to capitalize on the situation.

[Detecting curse power fluctuations, located two thousand six hundred meters ahead to the left, please stay safe]

Amidst the lines of useless information in the murky lakewater, suddenly appeared a line of useful information, the system kindly indicating the direction with a shiny large arrow icon.

Feeling a surge of joy in Jiang Yuan's heart, he simply dismissed the water bubble that hindered the speed of underwater progression, swiftly swimming like a fish towards the direction from which the curse power fluctuation emanated.
