Chapter 9: Visitors

Zhou Wenxin was already regretting in her heart, but with her lips pouted, she stubbornly refused to admit it

This roasted chicken is not only fragrant but also exceptionally tender. Furthermore, being sourced from the deep mountains, it naturally carries a hint of the fresh aroma of herbs and woods, especially after being accustomed to flavors like pine nuts and hazelnuts. Even though he is merely an amateur chef, the dish is still remarkably delicious

Well, since you do not object, I will take it as your agreement, Flower Ferret! Haha!

In the present day, Fang Yuan opens the door every day to see the small beasts placed in front of his door, and he no longer has to worry about meat at all

The clear and transparent tea flows into the cup, creating an astonishing fragrance.

The white weasel lifted its head and glanced outside the valley, a hint of disdain flickering in its clever, large eyes. It lazily got up and disappeared into the plantation.

If one can set aside their pride, they should be able to obtain one or two plants, thereby establishing a connection with the Zhou family

gē gē

Do not only eat meat, as it lacks nutrition

What? Only one disciple?

Giggling!

Mr. Lin stood calmly among several people and said: "This virtuous nephew of mine has been raised by me since childhood and is certainly not the kind of person who is frivolous and untrustworthy"

Let's go! To fertilize the tea trees!

In the heart of the forest officer, there are also his own considerations

Fang Yuan carefully rotated the branch, occasionally sprinkling a few grains of salt and pepper

He approached the tea tree, opened a cloth pouch, and scattered the granules of spiritual fertilizer.

Come! It is ready!

Fang Yuan was extremely pleased, smiling radiantly.

Fang Yuan then served jade crystal rice and side dishes, indulging in a hearty meal. The white weasel watched with envy and asked for a bowl as well, not knowing how its belly, smaller than Fang Yuan's, could hold so much food.

Are you the young man who sold red ginseng that day

Especially Zhou Wenxin, who is a lady of high standing, untouched by the mundane world. At this moment, gazing at the path ahead that is obscured from view, she truly feels a sense of helplessness and despair.

He glanced at the weasel beside him, which was staring eagerly, smiled, and tossed over a chicken leg. The weasel immediately caught it and began to gnaw on it contentedly

Well, I remember that in the world of dreams, there seems to be a legendary creature known as the flower weasel, which is a divine beast from "Investiture of the Gods." It is said to resemble a white mouse, possesses divine powers, has a body like a white elephant, wings sprouting from its sides, sharp claws, and is merciless like wind and fire, consuming all of humanity. What will you call it?

Upon seeing this, the eyes of the white weasel immediately brightened

To aid digestion and alleviate greasiness, nothing surpasses tea

The Zhou siblings, Wenxin and Fangyuan, who had met only once, were struggling through the mountains with several wealthy servants alongside Mr. Lin.

Noble nephew

Zhou Wenxin's face turned red, and she was so angry that she spoke incoherently

For it, roasted chicken merely satisfies a slight craving, whereas this spiritual tea is something that can greatly enhance its thinking and provide a foundation for its existence

Mr. Lin and Brother Zhou Er were instantly stunned

Fang Yuan has not forgotten in the slightest; he still has a mysterious enemy in the outside world

Eating so quickly

Do you want more

Lai Yue has just joined the Gui Ling Sect, and she should be making extensive good connections

Dear nephew, this time Uncle Lin has brought you two guests, let me introduce them to you, this one is ... ...

Please

Fang Yuan, who was weeding in the red jade rice field, raised his head, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes: "I will go take a look, Flower Ferret, you hide! Remember, do not steal the rice seedlings!"

What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and catch him!

One merely wishes to fulfill a filial duty to the father

Mr. Lin is indeed someone who has been seasoned in the martial world for a long time, showing not the slightest hint of embarrassment, his voice resonating powerfully and carrying far and wide.

Fang Yuan is not a stingy person; he immediately cooked the meat and shared half of it with the white weasel

If this scene were to be witnessed by outsiders, it is hard to imagine how many eyes would be left astonished

After having eaten and drunk to satisfaction, while the white ferret was feeding, Fang Yuan approached quietly and gently stroked the ferret's back

Mr. Lin responded with a smile, but inwardly he was secretly relieved that none of his daughters were like this Zhu Wenxin; otherwise, it would truly lead to unrest in the household

The texture is excellent, and the soft fur is even smoother than the finest silk, making him somewhat addicted to it, filling his heart with joy, knowing that this spirit beast has nearly accepted him

Zhi Zhi

Fang Yuan, upon witnessing this scene, suddenly felt a surge of joy within.

This flower ferret is too extraordinary, Fang Yuan intends to keep it hidden as a trump card, naturally not planning to reveal it in front of others

Zhou's second brother advised

Zhou Erge looked at Fang Yuan and recognized him as well

After finishing the roasted chicken, Fang Yuan smiled and said a few words before going back into the house to fetch the teapot

Passing on the torch! This is the true meaning of the inheritance of civilization

Such a valiant and fierce marten, if tamed, would become a guardian spirit beast of the valley. I wonder who would still dare to spy!

I am actually able to sense the thoughts of the white weasel

Fang Yuan tore the roast chicken in half and handed it to the white weasel. The weasel was instantly overjoyed, using both its paws to devour it in a matter of moments, as if the wind had swept away the clouds, finishing it off cleanly in just a few bites, and then licking its whiskers with lingering satisfaction

Sizzle

As a cost, that kind of spiritual nourishment is naturally indispensable

The ferret beside was using its paws to assist in loosening the soil, and between the person and the beast, they surprisingly coordinated with a remarkable harmony.

Hehe... the two esteemed nephews and nieces, the secluded valley is almost here

Do not be anxious! There is still plenty of time!

This young lady

In reality, regarding Fang Yuan's medical skills, Lin Yuanwai also lacks much confidence

Otherwise, given the current state of him and Fang Yuan, meeting would only add to the awkwardness, so how could he possibly come knocking again?

Fang Yuan silently sighed, and it seemed as though he sensed a vague and curious emotion surrounding him. He turned his head and immediately met the bewildered eyes of the white weasel.

Fang Yuan gently stroked the head of the white weasel and sighed

Second brother, it is him! He is the one who bullied me!

Mr. Lin, standing nearby, appeared rosy-cheeked and did not seem to be out of breath at all. With a cheerful smile, he said: "As for the recluse Master Wenxin, he is truly a remarkable person... Unfortunately, you have come at an inopportune time; he has long since departed this world, leaving only my esteemed nephew, who has inherited some of his medical skills. Although he cannot be said to possess miraculous healing abilities, he is quite competent in his own right..."

Beside the campfire, a gigantic white ferret scratched its ears and seemed somewhat impatient

Seeing that Lin Yuanwai and Zhou Erge were still in a daze, Zhou Wenxin erupted once again

Little thief

Gaga!

As a biological brother, it is only natural to be a bit more lenient towards my biological sister. However, this time I have come with a request, and I can only muddle through by dealing with the past.

Moreover, there are more instances of hunting a few mountain chickens and wild rabbits to curry favor

This feeling is akin to when I first saw the Master of Self-Reflection comprehend the path of sitting and forgetting.

Isn't the choice of words from the other party rather ambiguous? For heaven's sake, I haven't even touched a single finger of hers, how could that be considered "humiliation"?

... ...

Since the last transaction, he has become increasingly familiar with this white ferret, gradually getting to know it better

Gaga

Fang Yuan was speechless, taking a bite of the chicken wing in his hand: "Hmm... the taste is really quite good!"

Fang Yuan furrowed his brows, as he naturally recognized this willful young lady

Please wait! There might be a misunderstanding here

Sigh... I had advised you before, sister, that it would be sufficient to wait at home for news. Why must you accompany us through mountains and rivers?

He suddenly realized, but found that he could no longer enter that mysterious state he had just experienced

Fang Yuan waited until the flower marten had completely disappeared before straightening his clothes and coming out of the valley: "Uncle Lin! May I ask the purpose of your visit this time?"

However, to be fair, it is indeed not entirely the fault of Fang Yuan

A person and a beast sat facing each other, slowly savoring tea, finding joy in their own company

If I can maintain this state regularly, perhaps one day I will be able to converse with you directly

Especially after drinking the Wenshin tea brewed from the Zuo Wang tea ceremony, and having unceremoniously eaten a few pieces of fresh leaves, the white weasel suddenly lost interest in the Wenshin tea tree, only desiring Fang Yuan to brew tea for it every day

Zhou Wenxin's face flushed red, and she was about to erupt when she was immediately restrained by the young man: "This is Uncle Lin's good intention; how could we not know what kind of person he is? Do not act impulsively!"

Mr. Lin laughed as if he were the Maitreya Buddha, but in the next moment, Zhou Wenxin's sharp voice rang out: "You little thief!"

At this moment, upon hearing Mr. Lin say this, he immediately hurriedly replied, "Indeed! Indeed!"

After a series of procedures, Fang Yuan's eyes were clear, all mundane thoughts forgotten, and even the white weasel across from him sat solemnly, as if in deep contemplation

Hehe... your younger sister is so innocent and lively, I truly envy her!

He was also one of the informed parties regarding the events of that day, and later he conducted a thorough investigation once again, but the outcome was both laughable and lamentable

I apologize again to Mr. Lin: "My younger sister has been rude. Uncle Lin, please do not take offense!"

Uncle Lin, is the expert you mentioned here?

Pity this brother of the marten who feeds on raw flesh and drinks blood, having never tasted cooked food. Coupled with the seasonings and the barbecue techniques learned from his dreams, it instantly captivated the white marten completely

At your command, Miss

In the depths of a secluded valley, in the center of a clearing, there is a campfire with a roasted chicken on top. The skin is charred to a golden yellow, and droplets of fat ooze out, sizzling in the fire and releasing the aroma of the chicken.

A group of people spoke as they arrived outside the secluded valley

Fang Yuan poured tea into the cup and then handed a cup to the white weasel

White weasel, may I give you a name

Fang Yuan ignored the white weasel's soft and shiny white fur and spoke directly

Hmm... the thoughts of Diao'er are pure, and it seems she has an understanding of the master's sitting and forgetting tea ceremony...

Unfortunately, he is still far from this almost supernatural realm.

Oh? Mr. Lin? Why has he come again

Beyond the secluded valley

Several wealthy servants nearby immediately approached with unfriendly expressions

Hehe ... ... there may be some misunderstanding in between ... ...

After pondering for a moment, Fang Yuan stood up, clapped his hands, and said: "Fortunately, you brought the spiritual fertilizer; otherwise, the yield from the Heart-Question Tea Tree would truly be insufficient for the two of us given our consumption..."

However, he is aware that the planting skills of the disciples of the Master of Introspection are quite good, and since they reside deep in the mountains, they should have a considerable stock of aged medicinal herbs, among which there may be some rare treasures
