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

After dinner, Cui Ying and the others did not rush to cultivate. Instead, they embraced their sweet and soft fourth sister, Cui Yue, and the two sisters had a wonderful sleep.

She had been on the ship for two days and two nights. The food was passable, but she was still only a Qi Refining cultivator and had not yet escaped the realm of mortal body. It would be a lie to say that she was not tired.

When she woke up, the sun was high in the sky, almost noon.

Cui Ying ate breakfast and lunch together. After she finished eating, she sat under the jacaranda tree in the yard playing with Ta Xue. Only then did her father, Cui Zhengming, come out from the inner room, yawning and wearing his coat.

"Dad, the food is in the pot. I'm taking Taxue to the backyard for a walk."

"Go and do your business."

Cui Zhengming waved his hand, indicating that she could go about her business on her own.

The backyard, the herb garden.

Cui Ying first walked around the seedlings of Tianxing Grass and Xueling Grass in the field and found that although they did not grow obviously, the grasses were in good condition. There were no pests or diseases, and even the weeds that competed for nutrients were not more than two.

"Third sister, please praise me!"

Seeing her third sister's satisfied look, Cui Yue, who had followed along, immediately raised her head and said rather proudly:

“While you were away from home these past few days, my second sister and I have been taking care of the herb garden for you. My second sister comes before dawn to cast the Spring Breeze and Rain spell, and then I weed. Oh, and that annoying little Wu also helped a lot.”

"Our Xiaoyue is so great. Next time your third sister goes out, she'll bring you food again."

Cui Ying pinched Cui Yue's chubby little face and praised her generously. As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something and glanced around:

"Huh, where's the little golden scorpion?!"

"Third sister, I didn't see the little golden scorpion yesterday either!"

Cui Yue, who was squatting on the ground playing with mud, shook her head upon hearing this and pointed to a corner of the herb garden, continuing:

"Also, after you left home, Third Sister, I prepared water and insects for the little golden scorpion every day, but it didn't eat any of them!"

Cui Ying looked up and saw that the food in the corner was intact and showed no signs of being eaten.

"Little Golden Scorpion, come out!"

Cui Ying thought of a possibility and quickly summoned the little golden scorpion.

A small mound suddenly rose from the soft soil, paused slightly, and then quickly moved towards Cui Ying's direction.

There was a "pop" sound.

Just as it approached Cui Ying's feet, the mound suddenly exploded, and a palm-sized white shadow jumped out and landed steadily on Cui Ying's shoulder, where it remained motionless.

"Why are you so weak?"

Upon hearing this, the little golden scorpion weakly raised its two front pincers and shook them, as if it were crying out to its master. The more Cui Ying listened, the more her brows furrowed.

After a moment, she turned to Cui Yue, who was staring intently at her, and said:

"Xiaoyue, go and make a bowl of wildflower honey water."

Cui Yue turned and ran two steps, then stopped and hesitated before speaking:

"Is Third Sister going to feed the little golden scorpion with wildflower honey again? But Mother said before that wildflower honey is too expensive and wouldn't let me use it! Also, Mother isn't home right now, so I don't dare to go get it."

"It's alright. If Mother asks later, just say it was my idea. If Mother isn't home, just tell Father to go quickly."

Cui Ying knew that her mother would not be able to change her frugal habits anytime soon, but the little golden scorpion only wanted to eat food with spiritual energy.

Thinking about this, Cui Ying was both amused and exasperated.

She didn't know whether to praise the little golden scorpion for its loyalty and duty, or to scold it for being too foolish, ignoring the spiritual herbs and medicines that filled the garden.

If she had returned a few days later, this little golden scorpion would probably have become the first spirit beast in their Immortal Origin Continent to starve to death.

After thinking it over, she decided not to rush to irrigate the herb garden, but instead took the little golden scorpion and Cui Yue home together.

"Never mind, Third Sister will go back with you."

Back in the front yard, after Cui Yue poured a large bowl of wildflower honey water and placed it on the ground, the little golden scorpion, having been given permission, jumped off Cui Ying's shoulder and plunged headfirst into the bowl.

"Slow down, slow down."

Cui Ying reached out and lifted the little golden scorpion outwards, afraid that this silly and cute little spirit pet might accidentally drown itself in the Hundred Flowers Honey Water.

"Third sister, your little spirit pet is too picky about food! Is it going to drink only wildflower honey from now on? That's too extravagant!"

Cui Yue squatted on the ground, hugging her knees. Seeing the huge bowl of wildflower honey water disappearing at a visible rate, she couldn't help but lick her lips, feeling a little envious.

"The things we buy are for eating. You can drink whatever you want. If you finish drinking, your third sister will just buy more."

"Then I'll go ask Dad for some wildflower honey!"

Watching Cui Yue run back into the house with the joy of receiving a royal decree, and then carefully return a moment later carrying a bowl of fragrant wildflower honey:

"Third sister, you take a sip first, then I'll drink!"

"Xiaoyue is so good."

Just then, Cui Ying also felt a bit thirsty, so she took Cui Yue's hand and lowered her head to take a sip:

"By the way, Xiaoyue, I remember there are a few families in our village who practice independent cultivation and raise a lot of spirit insects. Do you remember which families they are?"

“I know that Sister Tao Tao’s family raises a lot of magical insects. Every time we go to visit Sister Tao Tao, she brings out the poisonous insects raised by her grandfather to scare us.”

Upon hearing this, Cui Yue immediately told him what she knew without hesitation, but her little face was all scrunched up and she looked very unhappy.

Tao Tao is the granddaughter of the hermit Tao Qifeng. Her grandmother, Madam Ma, and her mother, Madam Wang, are also related by marriage.

Cui Ying nodded and said, "Then there's no problem. I'll go to the kitchen to get some spirit beast meat and go to the Tao family to buy some spirit insects."

"Ok."

When Cui Ying came out of the kitchen carrying two pieces of spirit beast meat, she ran into Cui Zhengming, who had come out for some fresh air:

Where are we going this time?

"Go to Master Tao's house and buy some spirit insects to feed the little golden scorpion."

Cui Zhengming leaned against the door frame, nodded, and said nothing.

Life at home is getting better and better, and there's more and more hope for the future. Buying some spirit insects won't cost much in spirit stones, and the spirit beast meat can be considered a gift to someone.

But when Cui Zhengming saw Cui Yue, who was also turning to leave, he couldn't help but say:

"What, you're going too?"

Cui Yue turned around, nodded, blinked, and said, "I'm going to lead the way for Third Sister."

"No, you're not allowed to go. You're staying at home and not allowed to go anywhere."

"No, I'm going."

Cui Yue turned to run away, but unexpectedly bumped into Wang Shi, who was returning from the spirit field.

Wang had overheard the conversation between the father and his two daughters from outside the courtyard. Her face immediately darkened, and she reached out to grab Cui Yue's ear.

"I asked you to come with me to work in the spirit field this morning, but you said you wanted to stay home and cultivate. Cui Yue, you brat, are you asking for a beating? If you dare to step out of this door today, I'll twist your ears off!"

"I meditated until my third sister got up before I stopped. Really, Mother, please don't hit me!"

Seeing her mother get angry, Cui Yue could only grimace and cover her ears, then ran as if fleeing into her room.

Seeing Cui Yue run away, Madam Wang finally had the mood to wave to Cui Ying and give her some instructions:

"Although Master Tao has a peculiar temper, he's not a bad person. It's just that his family has a lot of crooked and evil practices, so be careful when you go there."

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen, muttering to herself:

"You've been giving me nothing to worry about all day long. Your third sister has created such good conditions for you to cultivate and improve your cultivation, but all you think about is eating, drinking and having fun. You must have water in your brain."

Cui Ying smiled silently, made a levitation hand seal, and called out towards her home:

"Be good and wait for me at home. Third sister will be back soon."

After saying that, she carried the spirit beast meat and flew low away from home on a cloud.
