The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chapter 518: Previous Life Fairy World Extra Story Two_3
 

The Jiang brothers followed the cultivator’s steps, already having moved several wild beasts back. They skinned the beasts, broke down the meat, selected the best pieces, and hung them to smoke. These pieces of meat would be sold in the spring of the following year, bringing a considerable amount of gold and silver.

These meats contained faint spiritual energy, which the cultivators loved to eat, as do ordinary people.

When there were no more wild beasts around, the villagers also began to return.

When they saw the wooden racks erected at the entrance of the Jiang brothers’ house, on which hung strips of smoked meat, they couldn’t help but feel envious.

After the beast tide, the daring ones had made a fortune. As for the timid ones, they hardly had anything.

The Clan Leader and the two Clan Elders came to inspect and asked how they had so much meat.

“We just picked it up after some cultivators.” Jiang Sanlang replied.

Those cultivators only wanted spiritual beasts and didn’t care for ordinary wild ones. As such, Jiang Sanlang and his brothers carried the beasts back after the cultivators had left.

The Clan Leader sighed, “Your brothers are really lucky.” They had seen one or two dead beasts on their way back, but due to the long journey and the need to eat, they cooked everything and brought only a little back.

Looking at how the thatched huts of Jiang Sanlang and his brothers were still intact while the rest of the village houses had been trampled by wild beasts, he felt a sense of envy and confusion, wondering what method they must have used to prevent the beasts from stepping foot in their vicinity.

However, if Jiang Sanlang was unwilling to reveal the secret, it wouldn’t be appropriate to keep asking.

The Clan Leader looked with curiosity at the three brothers’ demeanor, and Jiang Sanlang finally decided to respond, “Clan Leader, actually… I caught a Flying Rat. I sprinkled its urine around the house, which the wild beasts dislike, so they didn’t come.”

He then handed over a small vial of urine to the Clan Leader, “Why don’t you take it back and give it a try?”

The Clan Leader looked at the small vial in his hand and hesitated for a while before finally accepting it.

Even though the beast tide had receded, there would still be wild beasts passing through this area and it wouldn’t hurt to try it and see if it was effective.

He didn’t want to spend the entire winter cowering in the basement with his family.

An Elder casually asked, “Do you have any more?”

Jiang Sanlang shook his head without expression, “The Flying Rat isn’t that big.”

“Oh,” the Elder understood and looked regretfully at the Flying Rat on top of Jiang Sanlang’s head. “So it’s its urine.”

The Flying Rat tilted its head in confusion, looking at the human beings.

The winter passed quickly.

Yingbao was almost a year old and had integrated a large area within the Divine Mansion.

The integrated land gradually became like the farmlands outside, suitable for plant growth. She had planted some Spirit Fruit seeds from the Flying Rat, and to no one’s surprise, all of the seeds sprouted, yielding three seedlings in total.

Yingbao was overjoyed and would often climb out of the fenced yard to look for more plants to transplant.

Meanwhile, Chunniang was found to be pregnant, which thrilled Jiang Sanlang.

However, on one particular day, two cultivators arrived, dressed in white and emanating an aura of transcendence.

Laying eyes on them, Jiang Sanlang recognized the pair and protectively hid his daughter in his arms.

The two cultivators arrogantly demanded from Jiang Sanlang, “Tell us the truth, or we’ll spare you your life.”

Jiang Sanlang stared back impassively, “I have no idea what the two of you want me to say.”

One of them sneered, “Stop pretending. There must be something incredible inside your house; why else would the demonic beasts dare not approach?”

The other added, “Why entrust a valuable object within a wastrel like you, when you could entrust it to us instead? Rest assured, we won’t let you suffer a loss.”

He threw a gold ingot at Jiang Sanlang’s feet, “Here, this is ten taels of gold. It’s enough to buy your family’s lives.”

Jiang Sanlang was infuriated but could do nothing about the situation.

He respectfully addressed the cultivator, “Senior, a while back I caught a small Flying Rat. Its urine has the ability to drive off beasts. That’s it, there’s no treasure.”

Both cultivators sneered in unison, “Stop using such excuses to deceive us. Seems like you’re tired of living!”

As they spoke, a sword fell, and one of them uttered, “We are cultivators from the Chen Family in Vermilion Bird City. Killing you would be as easy as squashing an ant…”

Jiang Sanlang instinctively raised his hands to protect his face, realizing he was done for.

How could an ordinary person like him withstand the blow of a cultivator’s sword?

However, at that very moment, a bolt of flame shot out from behind him, heading straight for the two cultivators above.

The flame was incredibly fast, not only engulfing the incoming blade but also piercing through the chests of the two cultivators in the blink of an eye.

Both cultivators glanced down at the gaping holes in their chests, unable to identify their assailant before collapsing to the ground.

Jiang Sanlang stood in stunned silence.

Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang were also astonished.

They turned to look at Yingbao who was quickly crawling towards the two corpses — a sight that left them all in shock.

Yingbao crawled up to the cultivators, tugged off their identity tags and a brocade bag, and laughed out towards Jiang Sanlang, “Daddy! Here!”

Jiang Sanlang knew that the item was used by the cultivators for storage, and it could contain many valuable items. It was sold in the Treasure Pavilion at the county town and was worth more than two hundred spirit stones.
