At the villa construction site, Xia Ming was performing a water collection technique on a pile of wood in front of him - extracting all the moisture from the wood.
Those timbers were all chopped back from Qingmang Mountain. Normally, they need to be dried before they can be used, but how could Shen Yizhi have so much time to wait? So manual drying is performed.
With the water collection technique, several pieces of wood as thick as a barrel will become extremely dry. Soon the dry wood was being transported to the other side for processing.
Spells are not very convenient for building houses.
However, this consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Take Xia Ming as an example. As a monk at the eighth level of Qi refining, the spiritual energy in his body is often eliminated in less than a day.
In the past, he was very precious to spiritual energy and would not use it easily, because every time he used it, it was really difficult to recover.
Even if you only cast a simple fireball spell, it will take several days to recover the consumed spiritual energy.
Good steel should naturally be used on the blade, and spiritual energy is no exception. This is his way to save his life, and he will not use it unless necessary.
But now, with the Spiritual Restoration Liquid provided by Shen Yizhi, he can use it with confidence and boldness. Even if his body is empty, a bottle of Spiritual Restoration Liquid can quickly fill it up.
In this cycle of consumption and replenishment, his use of spiritual energy became more and more at his command, and the spiritual energy in his body was also growing steadily.
When Dong Ming arrived, he saw Xia Ming happily engaged in construction, and his jaw almost dropped.
Before coming, she imagined the situation of Xia Ming and others—
He was imprisoned in a dark place, beaten every day to extract confessions, and his body was covered with bruises...
However, what she saw now was completely different from what she had imagined! Although Xia Ming and the others were suffering, they were clearly enjoying themselves!
Had it not been confirmed repeatedly, she would have thought that they had been taken away collectively.
Shen Yizhi, this woman is indeed very evil!
Dong Ming became increasingly afraid to take the lead, fearing that he would also follow in the footsteps of Xia Ming and others.
He just lay on the tree and watched secretly.
She is now in the body of a cat, with a breathing charm attached to her body, and her appearance has changed into that of an ordinary house cat, which most people will not notice.
Dong Ming did not show up in front of Xia Ming and others. When he saw that they were fine, he quietly patrolled the village.
After going around, she found that the aura of Lijiazhuang was actually stronger than elsewhere.
Flowers and medicinal plants can be seen everywhere, growing quite well and full of vitality, probably because they are nourished by spiritual energy.
The streets are clean and tidy, and the villagers coming and going are all energetic, not as dull and sad as elsewhere.
Children are playing games happily under the big banyan tree at the end of the village, looking carefree.
This place is like a paradise, so beautiful that it seems unreal.
She couldn't help but slow down her pace and walked leisurely in the village.
Suddenly, an extremely alluring fragrance penetrated the tip of my nose.
Dong Ming followed the scent and came to a rather grand house.
The plaque on the gate of the courtyard reads "Shen Family" in large characters.
This is where Shen Yizhi lives?
As we got closer, the fragrance became more and more attractive, making Dong Ming feel itchy.
While she was hesitating, a rush of footsteps quickly approached.
She subconsciously jumped up the tree and stared down at the two children running over.
A man and a woman, both of whom are exquisite in appearance, cutely dressed, and clean, making them look very lovable.
These two people are naturally Qing Bao and Nian Nian.
The two kids played outside all morning and ran back when it was time to eat.
“Mother, is the meal ready?” Qing Bao ran in.
Niannian paused, glanced at the tree, and met Dong Ming's eyes.
“Cat?” Nian Nian walked over and tilted her head to look at the tree.
For some reason, Dong Ming felt a sense of threat from her. She was obviously a cute and beautiful little girl.
“Come down.” Nian Nian stretched out her hand towards Dong Ming and gave it a weak grab.
Dong Ming is arrogant and licks her paws, I will come down if you ask me to? Wouldn’t that make me lose face?
However, his body fell down uncontrollably and was caught by the little girl and carried into her arms.
Dong Ming: Meow meow meow? what happened?
She struggled, but Nian Nian slapped her down, "Don't move, or I will eat you."
Eat, eat her? Dong Ming looked horrified, this little girl is so cruel!
Not only cruel, but also evil! As expected, he was raised by that woman Shen Yizhi.
Obviously it is a small one, but it can do magic and has such great strength. It is simply unscientific!
She was held in her arms and couldn't move.
Of course, if she also used a big move, it would be very easy to escape, but wouldn't that be exposed? She is an ordinary white house cat now, and she has to keep her persona in mind at all times!
Of course, the most important thing is that the smell coming from the Shen family yard is getting more and more fragrant, so fragrant that the cat suspects that the cat is alive.
With a moment of hesitation, Dong Ming was hugged by Nian Nian.
“Eh? Niannian, where did the cat come from?” Shen Yizhi touched it.
Dong Ming almost burst into tears, but managed to hold it back.
However, looking at Shen Yizhi from a close distance, it was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.
She looks very pleasing to the eye, and the aura on her body makes people feel comfortable.
But there is no cultivation at all, and he looks like a mortal, but is this possible?
How can a mortal keep Xia Ming and the others here and make them willing to work for her? Obviously impossible.
Unless there is a hidden master behind her.
Thinking of this, Dong Ming became more and more afraid to act rashly and just behaved like an ordinary house cat.
When Qing Bao looked over curiously, he gave him a soft "meow".
So Qing Bao also joined the cat-loving camp.
Luo Yaoyao has been busy working as a supervisor for Shen Yizhi recently, scolding Fang Qiu on the construction site and giving advice, but he will still come back at meal time.
As soon as I stepped into the house today, I saw two children playing with their cats.
That cat... seems a little unusual.
Luo Yaoyao stared at Dong Ming for a while.
Feeling the gaze from the boss, Dong Ming shivered, gritted his teeth and rolled on the ground, chasing his tail in circles.
Just like a real cat.
After noticing that the boss's eyes were moving away from her, Dong Ming quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yizhi actually had a close relationship with this person.
"It's time to eat, stop playing with the cat, and go wash your hands quickly." Shen Yizhi came out with a rectangular pan, placed it on the hot pot shelf that had been set up on the table, and said to the two children.
Qing Bao immediately let go, put his little hands on the edge of the table, stood on tiptoe and looked into the pot, "Mom, it smells so good, what is this?"
"Grilled fish, little greedy cat." Shen Yizhi tugged at his little nose.
The grilled fish uses a whole large carp, which is as long as an arm. It is first cut in half from the middle but still connected together. It is fried in an oil pan until it is slightly charred, and then added to the soup to cook. When the fish is cooked After boiling, add various side dishes to the soup.
Green vegetables, vermicelli, tofu, qianzhang…
It is a kind of fish hotpot.
The aroma that Dong Ming smelled before was from the grilled fish. Now that the fish was brought out, she felt that the aroma was going to blow off her nose.
At this moment, the cat nature in Dong Ming completely overwhelmed the human nature, making her salivate over the pot of fish.
