Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 520 - The Feeling of Being Home
Chapter 520 The Feeling of Being Home
Monsters of Green Mountains are standing on endless green grassland. At this moment, they are seeing their new king off with eyes full of tears… in fact, they are all very excited. It’s more precise to say that they feel lucky and relaxed rather than unwilling for their king’s leaving.
“My lord, don’t worry. We will not touch the magical restorative in Green Mountains.”
“Yes, we will also pick the spirit fruit on time, so that the monkeys can make fruit wine.”
“My lord, you must have fun outside!”
“My lord, when will you be back…”
What? ! Being stared by a group of angry monsters, the monster who says the wrong words feels so guilty. It really wants to bite off its own tongue at this moment. Be back? The king should spend more time outside to enjoy himself. It will be the best if he never comes back!
Seeing Hu Ji’s dark face, Lin Luoran tries not to smile. She coughs gently to signal Hu Ji not to waste any more time.
Hu Ji carries Liao on his back with elegance. Even with a dark expression, he knows that these monsters are scared of his tricks. They won’t make any trouble in a short time, so he doesn’t care much about someone accidentally telling the truth.
But… Hu Ji looks at the Acacia tree monster who stands still. She has sent a big gift just for staying in the Green Mountains for a while. Hu Ji can understand her. After all, the Earth’s Reiki environment is now so terrible and it is very difficult for her to rescue the schisandra on the earth.
“Hey, you behave yourself in the Green Mountains. Don’t make troubles…”
The monsters repeatedly promise their king that they will keep an eye on the outsider, the Acacia tree monster. Hu Ji feels so angry at these foolish monsters that he even laughs. Kicking away a few monsters that are close to him, he just leaves Green Mountains with a few people.
The monsters are green-eyed. After the Green Mountains world is separated, only the nine-tailed fox family can go in and out freely. However, the new king said that now the world outside Green Mountains has already become a scorched place with little and chaotic Reiki. In this case, it may be much better and safer to stay in a paradise like the Green Mountains world.
The Green Mountains world was separated from the primitive world thousands of years ago. Monsters used to think the celestial fox meddled with it casually. Now thinking about it, the nine-tailed fox family actually had a foresight. As for the crisis of the Green Mountains this time, they rely on the friends of the new fox king to survive. In fact, all monsters have different temperament, but they have their own conscience. They have grown a little sense of belonging to the new fox king.
Well, it’s only a little. Look at what he did to them!
Hu Ji takes Lin Luoran, Baojia, and Liao on his back to break the boundary of worlds. When they return to the earth, Lin Luoran has got used to the environment totally different from the Green Mountains after a while. She finally can’t help but ask curiously, “What did you do to those monsters?”
It’s hard to imagine what kind of thing could make those monsters scream. They were even willing to make Hu Ji the new king after they were awake.
Seeing that there is still a long way to Dongting, Lin Luoran can’t help asking. Hu Ji shrugs.
“I just put what they least wanted in front of them. I put what they least wanted to happen, and what they hated most… all in front of them.”
For example, for the fish monster, he put it in a dry desert. The fish monster was almost scared to death in a water shortage environment.
Lin Luoran shudders. When it comes to exploiting the weakness of people, Hu Ji is totally an amazing expert.
They arrive at Dongting. Baojia returns to the place where she settled Chiao first. Lin Luoran and Hu Ji then slow down their pace.
She has only stayed in Green Mountains for a month, but the situation outside Dongting City has already been very different.
Those scorched earth fields that were pitted a month ago have already been subcontracted to volunteers. Various plants are planted there. To improve soil and water, the first thing to plant is trees. Common delicate green trees are definitely not good choices, such as cherry bay, bauhinia, and flowering peach.
After the New Era, the earth has been covered with dust, and the climate is hot and humid. Lin Luoran checked the data and prepared some tree species. In general, “evergreen broadleaf woods” are more suitable than “evergreen sclerophyllous woods”. Compared with coniferous woods, the latter type grows in a tougher environment. It grows in places where the air is humid and the soil is dry, and it is a thorn forest in a humid climate.
There are some evergreen sclerophyllous woods planted here, such as cyclobalanopsis gilva which originally grew in Hubei and Hunan, precious woods like nanmu, and schima superba which is common and economically beneficial.
With their support, it’s easier for other species to survive. As Lin Luoran can see, one month later, the survival rate of these evergreen sclerophyllous woods is almost 60%, which means more than a half. The survival rate of various fruit trees that are more difficult to plant is only 30%. She also happens to pass by the land owned by Han Weiya. There are obvious traces of replanting. 50% of the pine trees have survived. It seems that Han Weiya has taken good care of them.
Hu Ji is only interested in planting medicines. Seeing Lin Luoran is so immersed in it, he reminds her that there is a man called Liao. Lin Luoran is finally distracted. She has to go back to Dongting to settle down.
From the Green Mountains to Dongting, they only delay for two hours. It is only 10 o’clock in the morning at this moment, which is the time when the young people in the Ma’s villa are absorbed in practicing.
Ma Shuangshuang is a Laying Foundation cultivator, and her personal ability is the best among them. She almost serves as a tutor to guide Ma Yiming and others to enhance their personal ability. Ma Yiming doesn’t feel good to be left behind by his sister. Han Weiya focuses on elixir cultivation, and she is eager to start making elixirs as soon as possible. As for Colin, this noble man has been “dead in an accident while on duty” according to the official documents of the Alpha Alliance. He is also longing for getting the strength to support him to reappear in front of the world as early as possible. These young people all have their own plans, and they really try very hard to enhance their personal ability.
Han Weiya just rebuilt her Taoist root, but she has found the sense of Qi in just one month. She is trying to absorb Qi into her body. No to mention Colin, he is such a lucky guy who gets two elements of the Taoist root. He is also the first alien to absorb Qi into the body. Colin’s feelings are unspeakable.
That morning, after eating a sumptuous breakfast, they four all go back to their room to practice harder in secret.
Lin Luoran’s personal ability now can be perfectly revealed. No one notices her when she approaches the villa. As for Hu Ji, he pretends to be mysterious and he deliberately exposes his breath.
With the highest personal ability, Ma Shuangshuang notices a coming powerful breath. It’s not Aunt Lin that she is familiar with. The little girl guesses that it must be an enemy. Being unable to come up with a solution to escape, she is sweating profusely and almost loses her breath.
Two gourd fruit trees in front of the villa are both mature, and the golden fruit exudes the sweet and sour enticing fragrance. Hu Ji kicks the door open, puts Liao down, pats the tree trunk, and gets some gourd fruit from the tree. The fruit is so mature that he just gently peels it and then its juice overflows.
Ma Shuangshuang can’t pretend to be ignorant anymore and she comes out with Colin and others. They see Liao in a coma first and then an unknown teenager ruining fruit in the courtyard. They are totally sure that an enemy is here.
Ma Shuangshuang grits her teeth. The enemy has knocked on their door. How can they not fight back?
Ma Shuangshuang just enters the Laying Foundation period. She casts the most powerful spell she can remember by making a Taoist hand gesture. Lin Luoran previously refined a magic weapon for Ma Shuangshuang during her free time on the starship. Ma Shuangshuang now can use it.
It’s a blue glowing water whip which is extremely inconsistent with Ma Shuangshuang’s temperament. She practices whip skills very often. Her spell attack is approaching, and her whip is also catching up like a spirit snake. Her attacks are ruthless.
Hu Ji is sucking the gourd fruit with the sound of “tsk tsk”. He only uses a hand to catch Ma Shuangshuang’s water whip, and then he pulls it easily. The little girl almost falls down.
Seeing his younger sister suffering, Ma Yiming can’t stand it. He is ready to fight even though his personal ability is not excellent.
Hu Ji controls himself not to smile and deliberately hides his strength. After some rounds with the Ma family siblings, he totally forgets Han Weiya. She tiptoes forward and sprinkles a handful of yellow-brown powder on his head.
Hu Ji freezes.
Colin Weir doesn’t know why their stupid enemy is suddenly stunned. He quickly seizes the opportunity to catch Liao who is still in the fighting area and rescues him inside the house.
Ma Shuangshuang notices that Hu Ji is stunned, knowing that it’s their opportunity. The water whip has already wrapped around Hu Ji’s neck. As long as she shakes his wrist, she can break the man’s neck.
“Tell us! Who are you and why did you hurt Grandpa Liao?”
The yellow-brown powder works and Hu Ji keeps sneezing. His whole body is limp and weak. This scene has nothing to do with his stunning appearance in imagination. He is so angry that he bends down to point at the four young people without a word.
He is furious!
He is a dignified new fox king of Green Mountains. Now he fails miserably in a very easy task and is taken by the four juniors. They use the trick that he taught them to deal with himself. Life is so hard for Hu Ji!
Well… Han Weiya is such an evil girl. She can choose any kind of medicine powder but she deliberately chooses the “Body-Weakening and Soul-Devouring Powder” which has no antidote. He can only wait for it to wear off…
Lin Luoran has been hiding to watch the show. She does not expect Hu Ji to suffer in the end and finally can’t help laughing.
All four of them yell “Aunt Lin” in surprise while Ma Shuangshuang tells her the story of “their enemy” with red eyes.
Lin Luoran laughs out of breath, and she points at Hu Ji, “Look at him carefully. Who is he?”
As soon as the four of them hear this, they know that they probably make a mistake about the relationship between themselves and the enemy.
A mysterious young man who suddenly appears… does Aunt Lin know him? No, they should also know him according to Lin Luoran’s words…
Ma Shuangshuang gets her whip back in guilt. After looking at him for a long time, she still doesn’t recognize Hu Ji.
Actually, Han Weiya had often discussed spirit medicine with Hu Ji before he humanized. She feels that his arrogance is very familiar.
The four of them keep guessing for a long time, making Hu Ji even more angry. He suddenly grins at them, revealing a pointed fox face and six long dancing tails behind him.
“What! Cyan little fox… ”
Four more tails! And he still has the face of cyan little fox! Han Weiya happily pulls her good friend’s sleeve, “Why do you humanize all of a sudden?”
Hu Ji snorts coldly. Apparently, he still remembers Han Weiya’s evil deed of “Body-Weakening and Soul-Devouring Powder”!
In the end, he still can’t stand Han Weiya’s innate innocence and enthusiasm. He slaps her hand off his body, “What cyan little fox? My name is Hu Ji. You all have to call me Uncle Hu.”
After finishing his words, he stealthily glances at Lin Luoran who is still laughing. She doesn’t even notice that Hu Ji is willing to “degrade”—since they call her “Aunt Lin”, he insists that they should call him “uncle”.
However, the four young people don’t buy it. Firstly, Hu Ji’s face looks so young. They can’t call a person with a teenage face “uncle”. Secondly, he is cyan little fox. Everyone remembers how arrogant and childish he was and treat him as a child.
Hu Ji yells with anger, chasing Colin who talks the meanest words around the yard.
Lin Luoran drinks the tea that Ma Shuangshuang serves. Compared with the beautiful Green Mountains world, she feels that the earth’s environment is not good. However, the heavenly fairyland is not better than “the feeling of home”.
Being home, she has a lot of things to deal with. But why does she still feel so easy and casual?
