Chapter 516: Previous Life Fairy World Extra Story Two_1
Yingbao started to squabble and reached out its little hand to hug the flying rat.
Jiang Erlang, who did have some knowledge, stopped his younger brother: “I noticed the runes on the little flying rat lit up. Has it formed a contract with Yingbao?”
Some spiritual beasts do indeed accept their masters in this way, forming a contract. Although the Jiang family members could not cultivate, they often sold spiritual medicine that they had gathered to cultivators and knew quite a few secrets of the Fairy World.
Jiang Sanlang paused, looked at his daughter, and asked, “Baobao, have you made a contract with the mouse?” Yingbao giggled and once again broke free from her mother’s arms and threw herself onto the flying rat.
This time, the flying rat didn’t bite her but swept its fluffy tail across its little master’s face.
The three brothers were suddenly laughing as Chunniang also let down her guard.
Seeing the two little ones enjoying their playtime together, the family felt even more at ease.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Jiang Sanlang took his daughter and went out with his two brothers once again.
No wild beasts dared to approach their home surroundings. Not a single one was in their fields and farms, yet the rest of the area had been trampled flat by wild beasts.
However, on the trampled fences, Jiang Sanlang found several fruits of different varieties, all ripe spirit fruits.
These spirit fruits emitted a faint glow, showcasing their exceptional quality at first glance.
Jiang Sanlang picked up the spirit fruit, feeling a tad regretful. If he had known that these high-level fruits were here, he would have come to check earlier.
“I’ve never seen this kind of fruit before. Can we plant it?” Jiang Erlang asked as he leaned in.
Jiang Sanlang shook his head: “We don’t have the fate to cultivate immortality. We can’t plant spirit plants.”
They lived on the edge of the forest, even if they managed to grow spiritual plants, they would surely be ruined by wild beasts.
Those beasts were extremely fond of spirit plants and could smell them from far away. They would probably nibble away the seedlings before they could bear fruit.
Jiang Erlang found it a pity. Suddenly, the little flying rat rushed over and snatched the spirit fruit from Jiang Sanlang’s hand.
Laughing on her father’s chest, Yingbao kept her eyes on the little rat.
Feeling triumphant, the flying rat darted out swiftly, making its way straight into the forest.
Jiang Sanlang didn’t bother looking for it and continued to search with his two brothers.
Suddenly, several rays of spiritual light headed their way and quickly arrived in front of the three brothers.
All of these people were dressed in shimmering white magical robes, adorned with flowing runes.
Standing in mid-air, they looked down at the three Jiang brothers. One of them asked curiously, “What method have you used to make the beasts retreat?”
Jiang Sanlang was taken aback, subconsciously hugging his daughter even tighter, “We don’t know.”
A lot of these cultivators are up to no good. Once they find out his daughter is out of the ordinary, they will surely come to snatch her away.
Another one snorted coldly, “Why are you wasting your breath, eldest brother? Just use Soul Search.”
The Jiang brothers tensed up, immediately huddled together, gripping their sickles tighter.
The cultivators gave a snide laugh upon seeing this.
Just as one of them was about to cast a spell, the first one said, “Young brother, you must not act rashly. They are just ordinary people. The Enforcement Hall will start nagging again if they find out.”
He then swung his sleeve, turned around and flew away on his sword.
The others looked at the Jiang brothers deeply before following suit.
All three Jiang brothers were sweating buckets. Jiang Erlang worriedly said, “Considering the looks of those men, they clearly won’t give up easily. I fear what might happen some day..”
Jiang Sanlang returned to the cellar with a solemn face, holding his daughter without uttering a word.
His heart was turning cold.
Each of those cultivators was extremely vicious, even those who were from prominent families were just like bandits.
He had become careless and forgotten, accidentally putting his family in danger.
Feeling her father’s anxiety, Yingbao patted his chest and let out a couple of sounds to comfort him.
Jiang Sanlang sighed, took his daughter off from his chest, and handed her to his wife.
Chunniang took her daughter back and asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so pallid?”
Jiang Sanlang sat down on the blanket, told his wife everything that had happened, and finally said, “If those men come again in the future, you must never reveal anything or tell them anything about our daughter.”
“I understand.” Chunniang furrowed her eyebrows, hugging her daughter tightly, “What if… after the beast wave, we send our daughter to the county town and ask our elder sister to take care of her?”
Jiang Sanlang shook his head, “No, Baobao can only stay with us.” His elder sister’s family was not only composed of his sister. Her husband was a greedy man; he could never leave his daughter in that man’s hands.
“Then what should we do?” Chunniang looked worried.
Yingbao looked at her father, then her mother, hugged her mother tightly and rested her small head on her shoulder.
