I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

"System, save me!"

"Sure, let me see. One crane egg, 100,000 points."

"100,000 points? Why don't you just rob someone? No, this egg is only slightly smaller than a chicken egg. Just find another cheaper egg and use it to get by," Tang Doudou said with a pained expression.

"you sure?"

Tang Doudou nodded.

"There are also birds about the same size as crane eggs, such as the Crimson Spirit Bird, the Fire Spirit Tile Bird, and the Hairless Bird..."

"Which one is cheaper?" Tang Doudou asked quickly.

"The cheapest option is the egg of the Water Spirit Pheasant. It only costs one hundred points."

"That's it." Tang Doudou said, climbing back up the tree, then approaching the nest and placing the pheasant's egg inside.

To avoid being noticed by the cranes, Tang Doudou covered the eggs with feathers from the nest.

"Mission accomplished!" Tang Doudou clapped her hands, slid down from the tree, and then left the forest.

"I thought you went back early," Fang Sisi said with a smile when she saw Tang Doudou come out.

"I just went in and took a look," Tang Doudou said guiltily.

"Let's go, it's time for dinner," Fang Sisi said with a smile.

After dinner, Tang Doudou felt uneasy, wondering if the cranes would find something wrong with the eggs when they returned.

A night passed, and there was no movement in the woods; it seemed the charade had been fooled.

Early the next morning, Tang Doudou and Fang Sisi went to see the cranes, ready to start their wonderful day.

The two arrived at the tree from yesterday, but the crane was nowhere to be seen.

"Could it have flown away?" Tang Doudou asked in confusion.

"Let's walk a little further and take a look," Fang Sisi suggested.

They hadn't walked far when they heard a commotion.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see cranes fighting a snake.

No matter how you look at it, this snake looks just like my own green spirit water python.

Tang Doudou tried calling out, and then saw a green shadow rushing towards her.

When the cranes saw Tang Doudou, they flapped their wings and rushed towards her.

Before long, Tang Doudou's hair was pulled into a bird's nest, and her brand-new servant's uniform was torn to shreds.

Fang Sisi, who was standing to the side, was so frightened by what she saw that she dared not move. These cranes were the sect's treasures, and she dared not use her spiritual power at all.

"DouDou, are you alright?!"

Tang Doudou looked miserable and said, "It's nothing."

Fang Sisi quickly took out a bottle of medicine. "This is all I have. Drink it. It will help your wound heal faster."

"Thank you, you're so kind," Tang Doudou said with a smile, looking at the cranes that flew away, thinking to herself, "I traded your eggs, and you scratched me too, we're even. Next time I'll fight back."

Tang Doudou realized that her clothes were no longer wearable, so she had no choice but to go to the manager to buy her a new one.

Looking at Tang Doudou's miserable appearance, the manager asked in confusion, "Did you climb the tree to check on the bird's nest?"

"I was curious... so I took a look."

"It's all my fault for not explaining this to you beforehand. You can just clean up the excrement down there. The area upstairs is the crane's private space. No matter who you are, the crane will retaliate."

Tang Doudou understood and thanked the steward. Without saying a word, the steward gave her a new set of servant's clothes.

"The crane is in a bad mood today, you need to think of some solutions." The steward looked towards the woods.

"How did you know?"

"When the crane is happy, it will make a call to let us know."

These cranes must be sentient beings!

She initially thought it would be simple, something she could easily fool. She never expected it to be so difficult!

Making the cranes happy is actually quite simple: either give them delicious food or let them see something fun.

Tang Doudou thought to herself, and decided to start with something delicious. The cranes usually forage for themselves and must never have eaten food that humans had carefully prepared.

Thinking of this, Tang Doudou hurriedly went down the mountain, bought a lot of delicious food in the city, and brought it to the forest.

Tang Doudou opened the food items one by one, then whistled. The cranes slowly flew over, but upon seeing Tang Doudou, they rushed towards her once again.

Before long, Tang Doudou returned with messy hair and tattered clothes, looking like a beggar. These cranes are really vengeful; they can be described as petty and narrow-minded!

The cranes didn't even glance at the food on the ground.

"It seems the cranes don't like it, so I'll treat you to some," Tang Doudou said with a smile.

"I don't know why..."

"It's nothing. I was just curious yesterday and took a look at their nest. They hold a grudge," Tang Doudou said with a smile.

Fang Sisi finally understood.

"Eat up, you'll have the energy to keep fighting!" Tang Doudou said, and started eating heartily.
