Peach Blossom blinked.

Qinglong also stared with his two light-bulb eyes and blinked.

He opened his mouth and called out silently a few times. Taohua was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and chose to ignore it.

Ling Xiaoyue watched the silent conversation between Yilong and the other person, waiting for Taohua's introduction.

"Boss Ling, this little loach just threatened me." Taohua complained directly.

Ling Xiaoyue had a premonition when she heard Taohua's adjectives for Xiao Qinglong.

"This is the totem beast of the Qinglong tribe, not ours. Our place is called the Mountain and Sea Continent. Every tribe has its own beliefs. Some believe in the god of fire, some believe in the god of water, and of course there are also many tribes that have no beliefs and only believe in themselves. Our Xia tribe also had a totem beast, and our totem beast was the phoenix. But last year the phoenix suddenly burned itself and turned into an egg. It hasn't hatched yet." Taohua slowly narrated everything about the original plane.

"Our tribe's priest couldn't come up with any result from divination, so he went to find the high priest. The high priest said that there will be a particularly severe snowstorm befalling this continent this year. The phoenix has been baptized in fire ahead of time." Taohua said heavily.

"We also met other tribes with totem animals. The Azure Dragon of the Azure Dragon Tribe foresaw the future. To reduce the burden he brought to the tribe, he transformed himself into a small snake."

"The Xuanwu of the Xuanwu clan fell into a deep sleep."

"This green dragon should be sleeping in the deep pool of the Green Dragon Tribe. I don't know why it appears here. Even if we try to catch it, it would be impossible to pull it out. So." Taohua paused.

"So, it's very likely that it slipped in on its own."

"He also ate the tank of fish we exchanged for Boss Ling."

"It just used mental pressure on me, trying to intimidate me so that I wouldn't tell anyone about its escape."

"What did he think I didn't know? He wanted to monopolize the opportunity. Azure Dragon can predict the future. Since he has awakened from his slumber and followed me here, there must be a great opportunity here."

Taohua finished speaking and glanced at Qinglong with pride.

Qinglong narrowed his eyes, tightened his mouth, and shrank back into the tank, a silent gesture of resistance.

"Taohua, do you think the Qinglong tribe discovered that their totem beast had run away from home at this time?" Ling Xiaoyue asked the key question.

"The chief should have discovered it. I wonder if he will tell anyone. But the Qinglong tribe's priest god must know about it. The fish and hard-shelled insects we exchanged were all transported to our tribe by the Qinglong tribe. During this period, the priest god never showed up once. That attitude was tacit approval." Taohua recalled.

"So we're just going to leave their totem beasts here?" Ling Xiaoyue frowned. "You know, our store could close at any time after the transaction is completed."

Taohua couldn't help but get anxious when she heard this. "How could it be closed, Immortal? Everyone in our tribe is waiting to pay tribute to you and express our gratitude for your kindness. And what does it mean when the transaction is over? Is it just this transaction that's over?"

Ling Xiaoyue explained, "We won't close it for now. But we won't leave until your tribe, with our help, can become self-sufficient, make its own warm quilts, grow enough food to keep itself warm, and build houses and cities to protect its people."

Although Taohua was still reluctant, after listening to the immortal's words, she realized that it would take a long time to reach the level the immortal described. She could not help but feel less anxious.

"Don't worry. This time, take the food and technology we exchanged with you back home. Then, go back and discuss with the others to decide whether we need someone to teach you how to build houses, grow crops, hunt, and make tools," Ling Xiaoyue continued. "Of course, these are conditional. Just bring something you think is of equal value in exchange."

Then he emphasized, "We don't accept people, only plants, flowers, and animals. Um. And stones. All kinds of stones. Poisonous or non-poisonous, both are fine."

Taohua nodded solemnly. Then she asked, "Should I tell everyone about the Qinglong Tribe's totem beast's escape when I get back?"

"It doesn't matter. We both can do it." Ling Xiaoyue gave an ambiguous answer.

Taohua didn't insist on an answer. Anyone with eyes could see it. The immortals were very fond of this little Azure Dragon that had sneaked out of the Azure Dragon Tribe, even revering it. Damn it, if only I had known I would have brought my own phoenix egg. My own totem beast was much prettier than the Azure Dragon Tribe's little loach.

Why didn't Master Phoenix achieve Nirvana sooner or later, but at this crucial moment? Someone, bah, a loach got there first.

Su Hong listened to the whole thing and was unsure whether the Azure Dragon would return to the original plane or stay here for the time being. He couldn't help but give Ling Xiaoyue a look.

Ling Xiaoyue saw that the food had been moved over there. Then he looked back at the green dragon in the jar. The dragon had simply coiled up in a coil, its head buried in it, motionless as if it was sleeping.

Looking closely, you can see a series of bubbles coming out of the water where your nose is.

Oh! Still snoring!

Peach Blossom: Scheming dragon, must be pretending.

Ling Xiaoyue: Look at the little baby, he is sleeping so soundly.

Ling Xiaoyue cleared his throat and said righteously, "Look, this little guy is already asleep. Let's not disturb him. Let's wait until he wakes up."

After saying that, he turned around and pulled Taohua, "Come on, let's go see what tools and equipment I have to prepare for you."

Taohua was heartbroken to receive such a rare totem beast that wasn't hers. She couldn't help but think, "I'll have to tell the priests to find a way to awaken my phoenix." If she couldn't, she couldn't let the little loach from the Qinglong tribe have all the glory. She had to grab the other tribes' sacred beasts! That way, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

He said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll go check it out with Boss Ling."

After reading it, Taohua was completely ecstatic. She felt that what she had exchanged for the immortal this time was too little. It was simply not commensurate with the supplies the immortal had prepared for her.

With a thrilling heart and trembling hands, he grasped Ling Xiaoyue. "Boss Ling, why don't you visit my tribe? See the help you've brought to our tribe, and see how happy our tribe is because of your help. And also, go see our tribe's totem beast. Touch it, what if it wakes up? If the phoenix wakes up and wants to follow you like the little blue dragon, then bring it here! We have no objections."

Ling Xiaoyue was a bit confused. How did the plot jump to this point? I wasn't prepared for this.

Thinking about the mosquitoes there, Ling Xiaoyue felt a little timid.

Then I thought about how even cotton trees grow there, and how there are crabs as big as bathtubs, and I couldn't help but feel excited again.

Should I buy a protective shield in the system store? But going there alone wouldn't be fun. I have to bring the Pojun team with me. If I bring the Pojun team, then I have to bring the technicians who are supposed to help with the construction, right? And then there's Chief Su Hongsu standing there with his eyes wide open, watching closely. I can't just ignore him. Ah, if Chief Su brings him, then I can't ignore the botanists, biologists, and prehistoric scientists who are howling in the monitoring room.

A rough estimate shows how many system coins it would take to buy enough protective shields.

Ling Xiaoyue's heart ached. After deducting all expenses from the ancient plane yesterday, the remaining gold and silver, converted into system coins, only had about ten small targets left. Only enough to buy protective shields for ten people. That was far from enough.

While Ling Xiaoyue was struggling, the old leaders who had watched the entire video of Su Hong couldn't sit still anymore.

This protective shield isn't just for personal use. You can buy 100 of them and let anyone use them. It's not a disposable product. Aren't the scientific research achievements still national? The economic value created also belongs to the nation.

This was such a great bargain that the elderly couldn't help but blush. But it was all for the country. Since they knew the government was taking the lion's share, they could certainly compensate them financially.

The money is paid by the country!

After Su Hong got the news, he was so excited that he quickly stepped forward and pulled Ling Xiaoyue aside, telling her the decision made by the higher-ups.

Ling Xiaoyue jumped up with joy.

Great! I can travel on government funds! Thinking of this, Ling Xiaoyue gave Taohua a reply.

Let Taohua return to the original plane first. This time-space portal is open. If anything happens, just come and let me know. I need to prepare well. I can't just go there casually. I need to bring some technicians who can teach them about planting, manufacturing, and construction. Some of my good friends also want to visit Taohua's tribe and have some fun. I wonder if that's possible.

Taohua smiled broadly upon hearing this. She expressed her warm welcome. Her tribe would be delighted to have Boss Ling bring people to visit and play. Furthermore, he was bringing people to teach her people how to survive. How could she refuse such a good thing? She simply said, "Come on, stay as long as you want." She just didn't know when they would arrive. She would go back and prepare.

The final date was set for the day after tomorrow. Taohua also needed to have ample time to make preparations.

On Ling Xiaoyue's side, the fight for the spot was a complete commotion.
