You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

"You've encountered this before, senior?"

Green Branch shook her head: "I've heard of it."

"It's said to be a ferocious beast that eats whatever it encounters."

"It seems that a mountain, along with the grass on it, was completely devoured, and later they even emptied two cities? In the end, they were killed by several Xuan Masters."

"What? These things have appeared here too?"

Seeing Su Chen and Lin Jingyu nod, Green Branch asked incredulously, "Then how can you sit still? Doesn't it eat people? Doesn't it eat chickens, ducks, or geese? Doesn't it eat grass?"

Lin Jingyu hesitated for a moment: "What we see for now is that they ate some stones."

Green Branch's eyes widened in surprise.

"Eat stones?"

Seeing Lin Jingyu and Su Chen nod again, she frowned and then murmured, "The world has changed so much, even the Taotie has started eating dirt... no, it's eating dirt?"

Lin Jingyu and Su Chen exchanged a glance.

The meaning is quite clear: this senior seems to lack composure and is easily startled.

Su Chen shook his head slightly and smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, senior. This Taotie should be domesticated. It's different from the previous ones. It didn't eat dirt; it was a helpless act to subdue its enemies."

After patiently explaining the whole story to Green Branch, Su Chen said, "Senior Green Branch, you've been asleep for so long, you must be very curious about all the new things these days. How about we accompany you for a walk in the streets sometime?"

Green Branch waved her hand: "No need, no need."

With a flick of her slender finger, Shang Xiangyun, who had just emerged from the bathroom, froze.

"Didn't I find a servant? He can keep me company."

"Servant, servant?" Shang Xiangyun found this identity somewhat difficult to accept.

"What? Not happy?"

"No, I wouldn't dare, how could I dare?"

As Shang Xiangyun spoke, he kept giving Su Chen meaningful glances.

Unfortunately, Su Chen just smiled and didn't express his opinion.

Shang Xiangyun: “…”

So you'd rather die than see me die, huh?

He channeled his grief and anger into his appetite, devouring thirty plates of breakfast until his stomach was round and full. He returned to the sofa, supporting himself on his back, and seeing Green Branch staring at his belly, he chuckled sheepishly and rubbed his stomach, saying, "I...I usually have a big appetite..."

"That's good, this way there will be more fertilizer."

Shang Xiangyun: "!!!"

He instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"No," he turned to look at Su Chen, "You don't really want me to poop more so I can be her fertilizer, do you?"

The thought of my own poop being poured directly onto that person's face...

Shang Xiangyun shook his head violently.

No!

Absolutely not!

Although it felt a little good at first, it's actually really disgusting.

Green Branch nodded: "Otherwise what? I chose you because you have a lot of fertilizer."

"By the way, you know how to compost, right?"

"Compost, compost?"

Lin Jingyu explained, and Shang Xiangyun's eyes widened in disbelief.

"So Jingyu, you mean I have to save up all my excrement and poop to make compost and use it to water the plants..." He pointed to the green branches, then his face turned bitter. "If I really have to use it, I feel like I'm going to lose my head."

Isn't this pure blasphemy?

Green Branch sat leisurely, not even bothering to lift her eyelids: "Don't worry, I generally don't kill people."

Shang Xiangyun: “…”

Haha, so that means you've killed someone.

Seeing his dejected appearance, Lin Jingyu glanced at the planting books on the coffee table, picked one up, glanced at it, and turned to a spot: "Senior, composting takes time. We have a lot of fertilizer now, perhaps you can give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiangyun immediately perked up and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, senior, you can try chemical fertilizer. Let me tell you, chemical fertilizer is used in agriculture abroad now. The plants grow very fast and the yield is very high, right, Jingyu?"

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "Your situation is different, senior. You can try it first. If it works well, you might not want to use compost anymore."

Seeing that Lüzhi didn't believe him, Lin Jingyu handed the book over: "Senior, you... no, you can read?"

Green Branches turned cold at the mention of this.

"If I had been able to read back then, how could I have..."

Her chest heaved violently, and Shang Xiangyun quickly went over and gently patted her back, comforting her, "Senior, please don't be angry, please don't be angry. It's just reading and writing, right? I'm actually not that good at it either."

“Let me tell you, senior, we may not be literate, but we have money. We can hire literate people to read to us, right, Jingyu?”

"As long as you have money, there's no need to worry about whether you can read or not, really."

Green Branch turned her head and looked at him carefully, then looked at Lin Jingyu, who smiled and said, "Senior, let me read it to you."

He read through the ingredients, functions, and uses of various fertilizers before looking at Green Branch, who was resting her chin on her hand and frowning in thought.

After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "So what did it mean that I used to smell poop every day?"

Shang Xiangyun muttered, "You're just unlucky!"

And it's not just smelling, it's probably being poured over your head!

Seeing Green Branch looking over, he trembled slightly, then immediately forced a smile: "Um, senior, how about we have someone buy fertilizer now, and we can try them one by one?"

Green Branch nodded, then quickly added, "You need fertilizer too."

Shang Xiangyun hurriedly covered her front and back: "Can't it be someone else's?"

If you have to keep your excrement and urine in the toilet, then you can't use a flush toilet. Should you use a squat toilet or a chamber pot?

He wanted to curse at any of them.

"No," Green Branch scoffed. "I'm a germaphobe."

You're a germaphobe?

Shang Xiangyun's mosquito coil eyes.

His lips twitched, and he resigned himself to his fate: "Jingyu, why don't you ask your assistant to help me..."

"Understood. Put one in the bathroom on the first floor, one in your room, and prepare a large bucket for composting."

Shang Xiangyun: "As expected of you, you've thought of everything so thoroughly!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but take another closer look at Green Branch, secretly praying that she would come to like the fertilizer, otherwise, if she kept defecating and urinating like this for half a year... she would really go crazy.

Lin Jingyu glanced at his assistant, who quickly made a phone call.

Lin Jingmo came over: "Jingyu, I'm going back to Gangcheng tomorrow."

"So soon? Why not stay a few more days..."

"I won't cause you any more trouble. I'm just a target for them here. I'm suffering and you're tired too."

As he spoke, he shook his mobile phone: "Grandpa agreed too."

"He also told me to bring back some local specialties from Huacheng."

Lin Jingyu: "I'll arrange for them to buy this."

"Grandpa also said..." Lin Jingmo looked at him seriously, "Do whatever you want, we will always support you!"

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "I know."

When the assistant brought the fertilizer, Ji Feng and Ge Jinghao upstairs started yawning.

Zhang Yugui and the others came downstairs a little earlier and were slightly surprised to find the unfamiliar face of Lvzhi. They quietly inquired about her identity and were stunned to see that more than a dozen branches had grown from her palm.

Lin Jingyu carefully observed the dissolved fertilizer water and the branches inside the dozen or so basins.

"Senior, everything is fine. What do you think?"

Green Branch shook her head: "Almost~"

"Bring another basin, pour in more, and remember to record it."

……

After hundreds of tests, Shang Xiangyun was almost dumbfounded. Lin Jingyu then raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Senior, it seems that this concentration is most suitable for you. Too much will make you uncomfortable, and too little will slow down your absorption."

Green Branch was clearly very satisfied: "Why didn't my master use chemical fertilizer when he fertilized me before? Otherwise..."

She shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, let's try another kind of fertilizer."

She glanced at Shang Xiangyun as she spoke, and the latter had no choice but to get up: "Alright, alright, I'll go now!"
