Chapter 167: Chapter 165: A Gentleman’s Revenge

Bai Tian rolled his eyes and muttered, "Who’s the pet and who’s the master here? Who’s freeloading?"

Every time she goes into the space, she’s always busy with this or that, working like a dog.

Seeing them play around freely, she became jealous and dissatisfied, accusing them of idling away their time! She makes them do all sorts of chores!

The crops in this space are now diligently grown by the two geese, Tian Bai and Bai Tian.

Every day, they need to regularly report on the weather, natural disasters, and whether there are any treasures on the field.

They also need to train those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, no, those dear bird friends, to understand human language and how to deliver messages, leaving the couple without any time to be intimate! Is their life easy? They are really unfortunate to have such a master!

However, all of this started when one day Xiao’er went out in the sunny morning only to get drenched by a downpour in the afternoon on her way home!

So she got really mad! These two geese didn’t warn her in advance! They wouldn’t tell unless asked, and they were dumb as rocks!

What if one day there’s a disaster, and she’s killed!

Xiao’er could only think about how to put everything to good use, and order everything in advance.

The two geese in the space: In their past lives, they must have committed terrible deeds, hence this miserable life they are now living with such a master! It’s like they are working themselves to death for nothing!

This cannot go on anymore!

Bai Tian: "Master, could you bring some good incense for us?"

Xiao’er was confused: "What good incense?"

Tian Bai: "The incense used for worship."

Xiao’er: "What for?"

Bai Tian: "We didn’t burn enough incense in our previous life, we should burn more in this one!"

Xiao’er: "You really do know what is what, don’t you? Looking forward to not being reincarnated as geese in the next life?"

Bai Tian: "No, we just hope we won’t encounter such a master like you in our next life!"

Upon finishing his words, Bai Tian and Tian Bai buried their heads into the lake water and covered themselves with their wings, in shame.

What’s wrong with having a master like me?!

Watching the two silly geese from outside the space, Xiao’er’s face beamed with an even brighter smile. Humph! Do they really think they can escape their fate so easily?

Hard work is a virtue, and it leads to wealth! How could they not appreciate the virtues and wealth-building abilities I am cultivating in them!

It appears they still have too much free time, they’re having bizarre thoughts.

"I’ve heard some birds are really good at fishing. Since you guys have so much free time to burn incense, why not train your shrimp soldiers and crab generals to catch fish? It shouldn’t be too hard, right?" After all, they have a sea in the space to practice in.

Bai Tian and Tian Bai rolled their eyes in despair upon hearing this.

Damn it! Teaching them to fish is not hard, but how are you supposed to teach birds to fish? Do you think all the birds in the world are ospreys?

However, fear suppressed their anger, and they could only protest in their hearts.

They are really scared! Scared of more work! What if they are told to teach those shrimp soldiers and crab generals to read and write, it would be better if they just went and died!

Boo hoo, they were definitely the busiest geese in history!

Boo hoo, why were they so foolish back then, to take in a bunch of stupid creatures that needed teaching in everything?!

The birds, upon knowing, started to flapping their wings in protest: We can’t live like this anymore, we want out!

Xiao’er responded to all: protest denied!

Shangguan Xuanyi saw Xiao’er standing still, gazing and smiling at the distant mountains, and asked, "What’s up?"

Xiao’er turned around and shook her head, "I bet there are plenty of valuable herbs in those mountains. If I can dig up a few, it’ll be a windfall!"

Shangguan Xuanyi shook his head, "You’ve got money in your eyes again, kiddo. It’s very dangerous in those mountains, you can’t go."

Can’t go? Worried about the girl, huh! Hehe! Shangguan Xuanhao saw an opportunity for revenge, he insisted on leading the girl there.

"Last year, I found a 500-year-old ginseng here in these mountains. Many rare herbs can be found here. Are you interested in herb gathering, kiddo? How about we go together some other day?" Shangguan Xuanhao isn’t lacking centuries-old ginsengs, but digging up one himself for the first time felt like striking gold.

Now, whenever he needs hard-to-find herbs, he comes here to search.

"Sure!" In addition to those grown at home, plus the ones she’ll claim to have found in Medicine King Mountain Reserve, she’ll have a good excuse for the source of herbs to be sold in her shop.

"No way, the mountains here are full of venomous creatures, and the snakes are more fierce than tigers, it is too dangerous." Shangguan Xuanyi dismissed the idea straight away.

The mountains here are indeed full of natural treasures, but the precious and rare ones are guarded by dangerous creatures.

Otherwise, wouldn’t anyone be able to go up the mountain and collect herbs over the years? There would be nothing left then!

"Don’t be scared, it’s not that dangerous, I’m here! I can protect you!" Shangguan Xuanhao beat his chest confidently. Well go! If we don’t, how else will someone get worried and be upset!

"I have antidote pills." Xiao’er pretended to take out a bottle of antidote pills from her sleeve, but actually retrieved it from her space, and shook it in front of Shangguan Xuanyi.

Poison? Xiao’er is not scared!

She has the best detoxification products in her hand, and the most poisonous toxins are also in her hands. What’s there to be afraid of?

"Bai Tian, Tian Bai, today I’m going to catch a pile of snakes for you guys to have some fun with!"

Upon hearing this, the two geese couldn’t help but shiver and hastily started flapping their wings and shaking their heads.

Tian Bai: Master, please don’t!

Bai Tian: Snakes? Those slimy things? Who would want to play with such disgusting creatures!

Xiao’er: What’s so disgusting about snakes? Snake meat is delicious! I haven’t had it in a long time!

The two geese started to sweat: We want to bang our heads against the wall, what should we do?!

"No means no, even if you’re not afraid of poison, what if you encounter a wild beast and get hurt?" Shangguan Xuanyi waved off the hand that was shaking in front of his eyes.

"I’m not afraid, I’m not boasting but my martial arts are genuinely good! I can definitely protect you!" Shangguan Xuanhao confidently swore.

Shangguan Xuanyi gave his fourth brother a reproachful look. This guy just loves to stir up trouble!

Shangguan Xuanhao responded with a smile that was brighter than the sun.

"I have healing pills!" Xiao’er saw the exchange between the two men but she really wanted to go. So she pretended not to understand and continued what she was doing before.

Protection? What a joke! She doesn’t need anyone’s protection. It’s said that talented people are always brave. She’s one of them and she has her space with her!

"Let’s go together then." Shangguan Xuanyi understood that she insisted on going. It’d be even more dangerous if she went alone. It was better to keep her under his watchful eye.

"Xiao’er, there is no better day than today. Tonight! Medicine King Mountain is quite interesting during the night. But let’s go fill our stomachs first." Shangguan Xuanhao provocatively glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi. It felt great to annoy someone.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi’s face darkened. He’d love to kick him!

"Sounds good!" Xiao’er had been itching to go. Who wouldn’t want to claim a treasure once they’ve found it?

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi’s looked even more displeased. One after another, they all disappointed him!

Shangguan Xuanhao glanced at his expression, and a mischievous glee flared in his heart. A gentleman’s revenge, truly satisfying!
