Chapter 188: Chapter 184: Divine Lord Xuanyuan is So Fierce

Ruo Xuan was indeed a little girl with a sense of filial piety. She wrapped her arms around Xuanyuan Que’s neck, resting her little chin on his shoulder, and asked, "Does Grandfather Gu’s foot hurt?"

Shopkeeper Gu smiled and nodded, fabricating an ailment common among the elderly even though he wasn’t old, just on the path to becoming old: "It hurts when it rains."

If the little master said his legs were inconvenient, they were inconvenient. If Lady Xuanbao said his feet hurt, they hurt. His legs followed their master.

However, seeing that the little master already knew how to take care of his sister like a little brother and that it could bring out a bit of humanity in him, if his leg had to hurt, so be it!

He could pretend his leg hurt for a lifetime, as long as it was all an act.

Ruo Xuan said, "It hurts when it rains? I know the reason now! I’ll go up the mountain later to pick some herbs for Grandfather Gu’s foot. As long as you can persist in applying the medicine every day for a year, and apply a patch in advance when the weather is cloudy, then your foot won’t hurt anymore."

After hearing this, an warmth filled Shopkeeper Gu’s heart. Lady Xuanbao was so young yet had such filial piety. She truly was a good girl!

He said with a smile, "Just tell me what herbs you need, Lady Xuanbao. I can send someone to find them for you."

Thinking that the herbs she would pick could be nourished with Spiritual Power for better results, Ruo Xuan replied, "No problem, I’m the best at finding herbs. I’ll find them for Grandfather Gu, then you can crush them and apply them to your foot, wherever it hurts. You can apply it over a larger area..."

Ruo Xuan prattled on, instructing Shopkeeper Gu on how to apply the medicine, and before they realized it, Xuanyuan Que had carried her to the mushroom house midway up the hill.

Ruo Xuan’s eyes widened in amazement at the sight of the mushroom house!

She looked at the mud-brick and thatch mushroom house before her.

The rounded body of the house was painted white, the round roof painted a deep red, dotted with little white spots.

Some flowers and plants had been planted around the base of the walls for decoration.

The whole house looked like a giant red mushroom growing in the lush green grass.

It was a mushroom, and quite good-looking.

Ruo Xuan motioned for Xuanyuan Que to put her down, then she ran over and circled the mushroom house before darting inside.

Inside, the ceiling was made of neatly arranged straw, forming a circle, much like the underside of a mushroom, incredibly lifelike.

Ruo Xuan felt envious and turned to Xuanyuan Que, "This mushroom house is prettier than the one I live in."

Cai Shanyu, who had come today to complete the final inspection work, was delighted to see Lady Xuanbao, whom he had not seen for many days: "Lady Xuanbao, do you see anything unsatisfactory about this mushroom house? If there’s anything you’re not pleased with, just say so, and I can make changes."

This was the cheapest yet most innovative house he had ever built. Its only flaw was that being made of straw and mud bricks, it would be somewhat troublesome to maintain in the future.

Ruo Xuan shook her head, "There’s nothing unsatisfactory; I’ve never lived in such a pretty house."

Cai Shanyu was relieved to hear this. A house he built was a success if he liked it and the employer was satisfied.

Xuanyuan Que, seeing her fondness, said, "You can use this house as a place to rest while you grow mushrooms."

Ruo Xuan shook her head at this and said, "No, let the mushrooms live in the mushroom house. It’s good that it’s raining today. Tomorrow, the mountain will have plenty of mushrooms, which can be directly transplanted here. Have all the wooden racks been prepared?"

Shopkeeper Gu nodded, "Everything has been prepared according to Lady Xuanbao’s instructions."

Ruo Xuan said, "Then today, let people put the wooden racks inside the house, and tomorrow I’ll get my dad to find some villagers to help me dig up mushrooms on the mountain."

Cai Shanyu was surprised, "This mushroom house is for growing mushrooms? It’s not for Lady Xuanbao to live in?"

He had worked tirelessly, without sleep, on the mushroom house that was built straw by straw, and it was all for growing mushrooms?

Ruo Xuan looked at him in astonishment, "Yes! What else would you grow in a mushroom house but mushrooms? I’m not a mushroom; I don’t live in a mushroom house. I’m a flower, and I want to live in a flower’s house."

Xuanyuan Que had not expected Ruo Xuan to say she was a flower and couldn’t prevent her declaration in time.

However, neither Shopkeeper Gu nor Cai Shanyu took Ruo Xuan’s words seriously at all.

Children not only imagine themselves as flowers, but during play-acting, they can pretend to be fairies too.

Seeing that the two paid no attention, Xuanyuan Que didn’t interfere.

Cai Shanyu still had his doubts, "Can these mushrooms be cultivated?"

He had only heard of growing vegetables, grains, and trees, but never cultivating mushrooms.

No wonder the mushroom house was constructed with mud bricks and straw, he even felt pity that it was not built with blue bricks and tiles to last over a hundred years.

But since it was not meant for humans, naturally, the construction cost had to be as low as possible.

Ruo Xuan replied, "It’s possible, you’ll know in a few days, mushrooms grow quickly."

Cai Shanyu quickly got over it and laughed, "If these mushrooms can be cultivated, it would also be a blessing for the people, my mushroom house would truly be of great value!"

He decided that if Lady Ruo Xuan needed more mushroom houses in the future, he would still build them this way.

Although it’s more laborious, he might just make a name for himself!

Ruo Xuan, after inspecting the mushrooms, was going to gather medicinal herbs to apply to old Shopkeeper’s foot.

Old Shopkeeper hastily refused, "Lady Xuanbao, there’s no need, old man’s foot doesn’t hurt anymore."

It was looking like rain again, how could he let Lady Xuanbao go out in the rain to gather herbs for him, to treat a non-existent leg pain?

Xuanyuan Que calmly said, "I’ll arrange for someone to go gather them. Don’t you have to go down the mountain to find villagers to dig up fungus spores?"

Things done by Divine Lord Xuanyuan made Ruo Xuan feel more at ease than doing them herself, so she listed some medicinal herbs for Xuanyuan Que to find.

With the threat of rain, the three of them descended the mountain. Ruo Xuan needed to go home to ask her father or grandmother to seek out the village chief and ask some villagers to come up the mountain to collect fungus spores tomorrow.

Ruo Xuan had just woken up earlier, feeling a bit lazy, and didn’t want to walk by herself, but now that her energy was restored, she bounced and hopped down the mountain.

Xuanyuan Que followed unhurriedly behind her as they walked down.

Seeing her hopping so joyfully, Shopkeeper was worried she would roll down the mountain, so he closely followed, "Lady Xuanbao, slow down, be careful not to fall."

"I won’t, I’m not that stupid."

No sooner had she spoken than her feet slipped, and she plopped down on her bottom.

If not for Xuanyuan Que using his Inner Strength to cushion her fall, she would have slid down the mountain like a slide.

Protected by Xuanyuan Que’s Spell, Ruo Xuan was unharmed and didn’t even feel any pain. She turned around to look at her little behind, dirty as could be!

Thinking of how her brothers would get scolded and even spanked by their father for coming home covered in mud made her dread the same fate.

Being spanked was too embarrassing!

Ruo Xuan held her little behind and looked up pitifully at Xuanyuan Que, "Brother Xuanyuan, save me!"

Xuanyuan Que picked her up with an emotionless face.

He knew all too well that he’d end up carrying this delicate flower halfway through the journey.

Ruo Xuan was stunned for a moment, then whispered while hugging his neck, "Brother Xuanyuan, you misunderstood, there’s no need to carry me, just help me clean my clothes with a Spell, I’m out of Spiritual Power and don’t want to get spanked when I get home."

Xuanyuan Que said coldly, "Shut up. If I don’t carry you and you fall again, won’t I have to both heal your injury and clean your clothes?"

Divine Lord Xuanyuan was so fierce, Ruo Xuan dared not speak anymore.
