My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

The moon rises above the branches, and the night breeze is slightly cool.

Through the light mist that enveloped the village, Shuangling Village was exceptionally quiet tonight.

"Master Cui Ying, do you think that person is your aunt?"

"Third Sister, is that you, Third Sister?"

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Wang Rong tentatively called out from the darkness to the side.

Cui Ying stopped using her cloud-riding technique and ran a short distance ahead: "Mother, it's me. Please keep your voice down, lest someone else comes looking for us."

Having learned from her previous experience, Cui Ying took advantage of the darkness this time to ride the clouds back from the remote forest outside the village.

"Why did you suddenly decide to come back today? You startled me."

After muttering something in a low voice, Wang Rong suddenly noticed something unusual: "Why is there such a strong smell of blood? Could it be that you're injured? Let Mother take a look."

Cui Ying confidently twirled twice in front of her mother:

"Mother, your daughter is amazing! She hunted a spirit deer again today. The smell of blood is coming from the spirit deer."

Cui Ying was secretly relieved that she had prepared clothes in her storage bag in advance, otherwise she would have had a hard time explaining it to her mother.

Then Zhu Chaoyun chimed in:

"Yes, yes, and there was also a little fox spirit! We chased it for miles before we caught it."

"There are vixens too?!"

Wang Rong looked startled; her attention had indeed been diverted.

"Where is it? Where is it? Let me see it."

The Immortal Origin Continent is rich in spiritual energy. Not only are the human race blessed by heaven, but even the mountain flowers, plants, birds and beasts are favored by heaven and earth, waiting for the day when their intelligence is awakened so that they can cultivate the path to immortality.

Fox spirits have always been the embodiment of allure and beauty, so Wang Rong naturally wanted to see for herself.

“Here I am, Aunt.”

Zhu Chaoyun quickly stepped forward and revealed the fox meat that was wrapped in his clothes.

"Oh my god, what is this thing?!"

Wang Rong was startled by the bloody mess and raised her fist to punch Zhu Chaoyun's shoulder:

"You brat, why did you skin your aunt like that? I think you're asking for it."

But seeing that Zhu Chaoyun was still carrying something, he switched to helping her take the heavy five-colored deer, and asked curiously:

"I've heard that fox fur is the most beautiful thing. Quickly, take it out and let your aunt take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chaoyun subconsciously glanced at Cui Ying before taking out a grayish-white fur from the bamboo basket behind him.

"Huh?!"

Wang Rong took it with some disdain, but after only a couple of glances, she felt something was off: "Something's not right."

"This fox fur has a strange smell, and the marks on its belly look like it was scratched by something!"

Cui Ying paused slightly as she entered the room, not expecting her mother to be so observant. She could only say, half-jokingly:

"We didn't kill this fox demon; we got lucky."

"That's right, that's right. When we arrived, they were already badly injured. Before Cui Ying could make a move, the other one saw that things were not going well and ran away. Only this silly fox spirit was left, and we managed to pick her up."

Zhu Chaoyun chuckled and quickly added on Cui Yingyuan's behalf.

"Is there such a good thing?!"

Seeing Wang Rong's doubtful gaze, Zhu Chaoyun felt a little uneasy.

But soon he realized that the fox spirit had indeed been killed by the Gale Tiger, and that they had indeed found it in the forest.

So he raised his head and looked at Wang Rong calmly: "That's right."

"Quickly, come inside, Mom has saved dinner for you."

"it is good."

After Cui Ying and the other woman entered the main room, Wang Rong hurriedly brought out several large bowls from the kitchen:

"It's been kept warm on the stove, still delicious. Eat quickly."

"it is good."

As soon as Wang Rong entered the main room, Cui Ying and Wang Rong were greeted by a unique aroma of meat mixed with chili peppers.

When the two took the bowls and chopsticks, they found that the large bowl on the table was piled high with meat and bright red spicy fruit.

This meat is neither the meat of a spirit deer nor the meat of the demon wolf hunted the day before yesterday.

She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. After taking just one bite, her eyes lit up:

"It's stir-fried snow frog with sour hawthorn fruit."

"You think you know how to eat?"

Wang Rong was pouring water for them when she heard this. She gestured towards the inner room with her chin and smiled.

“Your father caught them in the spirit field today. There were only five or six in total. Your father saw that you hadn’t come back so late, so he insisted that I save half for you.”

"Did Dad catch him?"

At this moment, Cui Zhengming emerged from the dark inner room. He was wearing a coat, holding a pipe, and snorted coldly: "What? You can come and go in the Phoenix Mountains, but I can't even catch some snow frogs in the spirit fields?!"

No, no.

Cui Ying quickly and tactfully shook her head:

"I was just thinking, the last time our family had this stir-fried snow frog with sour hawthorn was last summer. For those three palm-sized spirit frogs, our whole family mobilized, and in the end, we crushed two spirit rice plants. You were so heartbroken that you couldn't eat that day."

"Hmph, you actually have something to say."

Cui Zhengming rarely showed a smile, and he chatted with his daughter in a good mood:

"Aside from being a bit fast, this snow frog is actually quite easy to catch. Who knew that you two silly girls would just chase after it blindly and end up bumping into my spirit rice?"

Cui Ying nodded in a mocking manner and praised repeatedly: "That's right, that's right. If it weren't for Father's intervention, that snow frog might have escaped."

"Humph."

Cui Zhengming snorted coldly and went to the courtyard with his pipe.

At this moment, Wang Rong also came over and said mysteriously:

"Why does this spirit deer seem to be missing that treasure underneath? Does that mean I'll have to exchange it for fewer spirit stones?"

"Cough cough."

This thing was killed by Zhu Chaoyun, and upon hearing this, I almost forgot to eat:

“Aunt, take a closer look. I remember that the five-colored deer had a huge lump hanging between its hind legs. We hunted a genuine male spirit deer.”

"Oh, I was mistaken."

Wang Rong thought about it carefully, then waved her hand dismissively:

“I heard from the rogue cultivators in the village that the Ge brothers also hunted a spirit deer in the Phoenix Mountains last year. No one in the village knows exactly how many spirit stones they exchanged for it. But the fact that the second son of the Ge family is impotent has been widely spread by his wife, and the couple has had a lot of unpleasantness over this matter.”

"Last year, she was still arguing about getting a divorce, but who knew that a few days ago, when Mrs. Xu went out for a chat, her belly was so big that she looked like she was almost full-term."

"The people around couldn't help but be amazed when they saw it. After asking around, they found out that her second son, Ge, had been drinking the spirit wine infused with deer antler velvet. He became so powerful that he seemed like a completely different person. That's when she conceived the child."

"Now everyone in the village is saying that this spirit deer whip is a miraculous medicine for prolonging bloodlines. The Ge family finally has an heir. If a spirit bone is found in the future, it will be a great event that brings glory to the ancestors."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chaoyun grinned and said, "Brother Ge has a child! That's wonderful news!"

The Ge Erwa that Wang Rong mentioned was one of the rogue cultivators who helped Zhu Chaoyun save his sister. When she heard that he had a child, she couldn't help but be happy for him.

However, Cui Ying shook her head. Although the Spirit Deer Whip had miraculous effects in enhancing male potency, Wang Rong's words clearly had ulterior motives.

So she glanced at Zhu Chaoyun, who was grinning foolishly, and said, "Still laughing, Brother Chaoyun? My mother is hinting at you, asking when you're going to get married and start a family."
