The Butterfly stubbornly refused to agree to be called Hua Hua, not because it felt the name was too rustic, but rather… it simply didn’t like it.

However, Feng Jun pointed out that it had promised to obey him–if it didn’t change its name, it would have to wait another fifty years for its freedom.

The Butterfly began angrily cursing him for being shameless: Why didn’t you say this before the contract?

Feng Jun didn’t elaborate further, “If you don’t change your name, from now on, you’ll have no Spirit Beast Meat to eat.”

“Shameless!” The Butterfly cursed him again, and then declared, “I want my Spirit Beast Meat cooked medium rare.”

Brother Jun had never had Western food and had no concept of what medium rare or well done meant.

But its current body was a hybrid, with memories of a human and instincts of a Gu Insect.

After lunch, Gazi and the others arrived at the Bamboo Forest, only to be stunned: the Butterfly… had unlocked its chains?

Without its chains, the Butterfly soared freely above the Bamboo Forest, flitting through the Spirit Gathering Array, occasionally flying out of the valley, unable to stop itself. It had been nearly a thousand years since it had flown so freely.

But now its flight wasn’t a mere white shadow. It was a pure, leisurely Butterfly flutter, slow and graceful.

Its presence even drew the attention of the workers, “Look at that, a giant butterfly in the dead of winter?”

“Look, look, King Crow is right beside it–ah… it slapped King Crow with a wing. That’s gotta hurt, right?”

“Hurt? King Crow is trying to cozy up to it. A crow is merely a king, but the Butterfly… that’s a Butterfly Immortal, right there.”

Such discussions were all too common, so no need to dwell further. The Bamboo Forest buzzed with chatter.

Sister Hong had lunch and was taking her afternoon nap, not present at the moment. In contrast, Gu Jiahui directly asked, “Brother Jun, you said it was ferocious, why did you release it?”

“I just had a good talk with it,” Feng Jun replied seriously, “It doesn’t think it’s ferocious and wanted a chance to prove itself, so I gave it one.”

“No way?” Wang Haifeng exclaimed, “Master, if it runs away, we’ll be the sinners of Huaxia.”

“It won’t run away. It’ll be very obedient,” Feng Jun snapped his fingers and commanded, “Hua Hua, come down!”

With a flash of white, Hua Hua had flown back, then it slowed down, flapping its wings, gently alighting on Gu Jiahui’s shoulder.

“Ha, Brother Jun, so impressive,” Gu Jiahui said with a smile, tempted to touch it but ultimately not daring to.

“Call it Hua Hua,” Feng Jun stated indifferently and walked away.

Now that the Butterfly was dealt with, his next task was to set up another Lingzhi Formation in the valley. With Hua Hua around, he no longer had to worry about the growth of the Spirit Plants.

The location of the Lingzhi Formation was to be set between the Spirit Gathering Array and the Illusion Array–in fact, the two Formations weren’t far apart. If Feng Jun activated the Heaven-Swallowing Formation, the Lingzhi Formation would still be within its range.

He quickly set up the Lingzhi Formation and activated it. Although Earth was a realm of diminished magic, it was next to the Spirit Gathering Array. The Lingzhi Formation could borrow its power, so it quickly filled with Spiritual Energy.

Less than half an hour after activating the Lingzhi Formation, Brother Jun–now called Hua Hua–flew over to it.

It circled above the Lingzhi Formation and then returned to the Bamboo Forest, digging up the Storage Talisman it had just buried under a bamboo.

Ten minutes later, from the walkie-talkie came Li Shishi’s panicked cry, “Help… The Butterfly flew around the yard, and then fourteen Spirit Plants were gone, help~~”

Gazi held unusual concern for Li Shishi, but not romantic interest. As a former epilepsy patient, Gazi tried to be friendly to everyone, especially remembering the warmth and care Assistant Li showed when he first came to Luohua.

So he rushed back to the villa, only to find the Butterfly was not there.

The commotion near the Bamboo Forest, where Feng Jun was, couldn’t remain hidden from everyone.

When Gazi returned, disappointed, Gu Jiahui, who had lost Hua Hua, suggested they check nearby. Soon after, Zhuang Zesheng and Feng Jing stood up, and even Wang Haifeng followed suit.

Apart from Sister Hong, still napping, only Lei Gang rushed up the steps, remaining indifferent in the Bamboo Forest.

Then, everyone witnessed a surprising scene by the valley.

The white Butterfly flapped its wings vigorously, burrowed into the ground, emerged not far away, and suddenly the ground exploded, creating a large hole.

Then, as if by magic, a Spirit Plant appeared on the surface. The Butterfly, flapping its wings, carefully grasped the Spirit Plant with its six legs and placed it into the hole. It then used its wings to push the surrounding soil into the hole to fill it.

Next to the Butterfly was a crow, mimicry at work as it pushed soil with its wings. However, the force of its wings… was negligible, much like an online novelist calling for a boycott of pirated content.

Still, Brother Jun… Hua Hua’s performance remained astonishing, and no one could have imagined a Butterfly planting trees!

“`

Everyone was silent for a long time before Zhang Caixin sighed, “So this… this is the Qi Refinement Realm.”

She had always held herself in high regard, treating Feng Jun as the target she sought to surpass.

She didn’t think it was an unattainable goal, and she had always been working hard towards it.

But at this moment, she felt that she… might have underestimated the Qi Refinement Realm.

The Butterfly turned its head, and on its human face was a clear expression of mockery–daring to talk about the Qi Refinement Realm?

Most of those present could accept some supernatural phenomena, but Zhuang Zesheng was still somewhat puzzled, “These Lingzhi… is it… can Butterflies also use Storage Magical Artifacts?”

No one else answered him, only Wang Haifeng chuckled, “Don’t talk about Storage Magical Artifacts, you definitely can’t compete with it in planting Lingzhi, you’re not even as old as it, and you can’t beat it in a fight… You don’t need to worry about these things.”

Actually, everyone knew that there was no need for humans to be serious with an insect, but still, having a Butterfly stronger than oneself was… truly a challenge to one’s worldview.

Just then, Feng Jun lightly snorted, “If you’re all so idle, come down and plant Lingzhi with me.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd instantly scattered. It was not that everyone wanted to be lazy; it’s just that the place where the Lingzhi Formation was set up was inconvenient for getting on and off, located between the Spirit Gathering Array and the Illusion Array, with slopes on both sides.

Getting to the Spirit Gathering Array was easy, but getting out of the array meant dealing with the dense Bamboo Forest surrounding it–crossing the Bamboo Forest to reach the Lingzhi Formation was quite difficult. That is, except for Hua Hua, who flew around without such restrictions.

Hua Hua, having spent hundreds of years in the Lingzhi garden, was decidedly efficient at planting Spirit Plants. It would directly chop off many roots and stems of oversized Miao plants without the slightest hesitation.

As for the above-ground parts, it dared to handle them like an experienced horticulturist.

Feng Jun didn’t quite understand some of its actions, but he wouldn’t question them. In today’s society, working in a particular field for thirty thousand hours could make you an expert, and this Butterfly had thirty million hours of experience as a gardener.

Watching it work both quickly and well, Feng Jun was about to call Gu Jiahui over when he saw Sister Hong approaching from not far away.

She had a rest at noon, and upon hearing that Feng Jun had released the Butterfly, she hurried over to see the situation.

Seeing the Butterfly busily at work, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and exclaim softly, “How can this be?”

Feng Jun casually handed her a Mobile Phone, “Take this, Hua Hua wanted a mobile phone. Give it to her later, it will also help you two establish a good relationship.”

“The name you’ve chosen is really…” Sister Hong couldn’t help but mock, yet she accepted the Mobile Phone without hesitation, “With its intelligence… can it even use a phone?”

The Butterfly, which was cultivating the soil, heard this, stopped, and looked up to screech dissatisfiedly.

All in all, Hua Hua’s performance today was quite remarkable; it planted fifteen or sixteen Spirit Plants in just one afternoon.

As the sky grew darker, it closed its wings to finish work and flew in front of Sister Hong, turning its head to look at her.

“Alright, you’ve worked hard,” Sister Hong handed it the Mobile Phone, smiling as she spoke, “I also ordered you some bullfrogs, I hope you like them.”

Feng Jun then conveyed a piece of information to it–finish planting the Spirit Plants tomorrow, and I’ll use the Sweet Dew Talisman.

The planting of the Spirit Plants here had been delayed for some time; even if they were now in the ground, it wasn’t enough, even with a Lingzhi Formation set up. It was best to bring down some Gan Lin to help the Spirit Plants recover as soon as possible.

With the Mobile Phone in its two forelegs, the Butterfly gracefully flew towards the villa, evidently in a relaxed mood.

When it came time for dinner, the front building became lively with a group of people watching the Butterfly play with the Mobile Phone.

Naturally, Hua Hua was unfamiliar with the Mobile Phone, but no matter, many people were eager to teach it. Sister Hong, Gu Jiahui, and Li Shishi were particularly enthusiastic, and it wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that things calmed down.

Early the next day, before Feng Jun had gotten up, Hua Hua flew over from the front building, “You only gave me a bare phone, not even a SIM card; that’s too much… hurry up and sort out a phone number for me.”

“Are you kidding?” Feng Jun glared, “Since you can fly, just use the WIFI in the building, what do you need a phone number for… can you even make calls?”

He thought Hua Hua could only screech, that it communicated its intentions through thoughts, and having a phone number was really useless.

“I can send text messages, and use WeChat too,” the Butterfly confidently replied, “Without a phone number, I can’t register, can’t watch videos; you must not know or understand this, right?”

Feng Jun helplessly slapped his forehead, grinding his teeth as he asked, “Do I also have to get you a bank card?”

“No need for a bank card, Gu Jiahui has agreed to let me use hers,” the Butterfly replied with pride, “I can spend without worry.”

“You really do have good relationships,” Feng Jun rolled his eyes, “but come on, get to work quickly, you must finish today… After I use the Sweet Dew Talisman, I still have other things to do.”

“Got it,” the Butterfly flapped its wings as it flew out, “I need to eat something first. Oh, and… get me a VIP phone number.”

Feng Jun slapped his forehead again, “What happened to the belief… that Miao girls are very simple and unsophisticated?”
