Chapter 75: Divine Lord Nine Heavens Also Comes to Earn Money to Support the Family
Ruo Xuan, startled, nearly dropped the wild pigeon in her hands!
But what was there to be afraid of?
She hadn't done anything wrong!
Turning her head, Ruo Xuan beamed brightly, "Brother Xuanyuan, would you like some wild pigeon? And bamboo fungus, this white one dressed like it's wearing a skirt is very delicious. I'll bring some to you and Grandmother Xuanyuan. I picked a lot, we could make quite a bit of money selling them at the restaurant."
Thinking about earning silver, Ruo Xuan's smile grew even more radiant.
The chill emanating from Xuanyuan Que seemed to fade a bit under her sunny smile.
After hearing her words, he glanced at her washed-out old clothing; his stern expression finally warmed slightly.
After all, she was just trying to make a living!
Let it be!
Reincarnated into a struggling member of the Ruo Family, she was merely using her own abilities to secure her daily bread; she wasn't harming anyone.
Why couldn't she use Immortal Technique?
As for being discovered...
So what? With him around, who could do anything to her?
Having come to a realization, Xuanyuan Que glanced at the flower and gave a slight nod, "Mhm."
Ruo Xuan was taken aback. Eh, the Divine Lord Xuanyuan wasn't blaming her for using Immortal Technique at will anymore?
Her eyes shone brightly as she took Xuanyuan Que's hand, "Brother Xuanyuan, we can't have hotpot without chicken and fatty lamb, let's catch some pheasants and goats. I can't catch anymore. There are no goats in the bamboo forest; let's head over to that mountain, where there's plenty of game."
Implying that she had run out of spiritual power and was asking for Xuanyuan Que's help.
Grasping the language of flowers, the temple of Xuanyuan Que throbbed mightily.
He was wrong! This flower knew how to push an inch into a mile!
His face darkened as he withdrew his hand but ultimately followed her, moving forward.
Ruo Xuan said to Madam Liu, "Mom, Brother Xuanyuan and I are going to catch a couple more pheasants for hotpot tonight! Brothers, are you coming too?"
"Yes!" Ruo Hang and his brothers immediately followed suit.
Madam Liu was somewhat worried, but at that moment, the Shopkeeper stepped forward, reassuring her, "Madam Four, rest assured, I'll take good care of the children."
Madam Liu had heard from her husband that Shopkeeper Gu and Aunt Yu Hua were very skilled in martial arts, and there were also people secretly protecting Xuanyuan Que, likely hidden guards.
There were often people around the nearby mountains, and only deep in the mountains lurked ferocious beasts. After thinking it over, Madam Liu nodded, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Gu!"
Shopkeeper Gu smiled, "Madam is too polite."
Just then, Ruo Shui headed up the mountain. After greeting him and saying that he was taking some children to another hill to catch wild chickens, Shopkeeper Gu left.
Seeing her husband arrive, Madam Liu smiled, "Why have you come? Is the book seal ready?"
"I was worried the bamboo shoots were too heavy for you to carry," Ruo Shui said as he gently brushed a stray lock of hair behind his wife's ear.
"You underestimate me!" Madam Liu playfully scolded him, her lips curving into a smile.
Ruo Shui, watching his wife feign annoyance, looked around and quickly pecked her on the lips.
Madam Liu's pretty face flushed red. Frightened, she quickly glanced toward the direction the children left. Seeing no one looking back, she sighed with relief. Then she glared at Ruo Shui and said with annoyance, "Xuanbao says these are called bamboo fungus and they're delicious. Let's quickly pick the rest and go home."
This man never acted properly, and had such thick skin—Madam Liu hurriedly moved away.
"Sure!" Ruo Shui laughed out loud.
But whatever Xuanbao said was delicious must be delicious!
They better hurry and pick some to take home!

Elsewhere, several children ran off to another hill where Shopkeeper Gu had people bring many hunting essentials.
They brought some nets specifically for catching birds.
Each child got one.
There were also bows and arrows, fishing nets, chicken cages, and other things.
Xuanyuan Que directed a few wild pheasants and rabbits towards them, allowing Ruo Xian and his brothers to scramble excitedly after them.
He took Ruo Xuan aside and said in a low voice, "People behind the scenes have shown up, and the Demon Lord has come too. You need to be careful recently, don't recklessly use your spiritual power. Save it."
Xuanyuan Que was worried she'd use up all her spiritual energy everyday on the mountain, hastening the ripening of fruits and catching wild chickens and birds, ending up without the ability to protect herself...
While he could protect her, if she were capable herself, it would be foolproof.
Ruo Xuan's eyes lit up, finally, they had arrived!
"Brother Xuanyuan, don't worry, I'll keep my Spiritual Power to report that big baddie to the heavens!"
Xuanyuan Que didn't say anything more.
Though this flower didn't always obey, it was clear about what mattered more.
Using Immortal Technique was also for making money to provide for the family, but what money could wild chickens and pigeons bring in?
He released his divine sense to feel where there might be prey worth a little more money.
To the southwest, ten miles away, a few deer were being bitten by three wolves; both wolves and deer were worth much more than wild chickens, so he lured them over!
Little Xuanhua had a grudge with the Goat Spirit in her past life, and just nearby, there were a few wild goats grazing, so he lured them over too.
Twenty miles to the northeast, there was a white fox; Xuanyuan Que knew Madam Liu was making clothes for Ruo Xuan, and had lined the collar with rabbit fur. Wasn't the fur of the white fox more precious than rabbit fur? He lured it over!
Fifty miles straight north, there was a tiger attacking an old man who had gone up the mountain to gather herbs. That tiger had killed people before and would attack upon seeing others. Many people went to that mountain to collect herbs, so he lured it over!
Five kilometers to the south, in a lake, there was a flock of wild ducks swimming, along with many fish, lured over!
No, forget the fish, it wouldn't be good to trouble the fish, but the wild ducks, lure them over.
Little Xuanhua was always clamoring to eat wild rabbits and wild chickens, get some of those too!
Straight above in the sky, a flock of pigeons was conveniently flying by, good!
What comes to the door uninvited must not be refused!
So, Ruo Hang and his brothers, brimming with excitement after just capturing an endless stream of wild chickens and rabbits, now had a flock of wild pigeons arrive!
The guards hiding in the trees deftly threw out a large net, catching a dozen wild pigeons in one fell swoop!
The kids jumped around joyfully, and before they'd finished, a flock of wild ducks arrived: "Quick, quick, quick... get the nets!"
Finally capturing the wild ducks, the figure of a white fox darted by!
Xuanyuan Que drew his bow and shot; the white fox was hit in the neck by an arrow and pinned against a large tree.
Ruo Xuan's eyes shone as the Divine Lord Xuanyuan looked incredibly handsome shooting arrows!
She decisively dropped her net and slingshot: "I want to use a bow and arrow too!"
The Shopkeeper dared not give her one, coaxing her: "There are no more bows and arrows for children, Miss Xuanbao, how about next time Grandpa Gu makes one just for you?"
Ruo Xuan glanced at the silver bow in Xuanyuan Que's hand, she didn't have the guts to compete with the Divine Lord Xuanyuan for a bow and arrow!
She reluctantly nodded: "Okay, then!"
The wolves were about to arrive, and Xuanyuan Que pretended not to see the longing look in a certain flower's eyes.
Then, a few injured spotted deer rushed into everyone's sight, followed by three wolves!
The stealthy guards reacted incredibly fast, quickly picking up their bows and arrows and letting them fly.
Three arrows flew out one after the other, and the three staggered wolves all fell.
Chickens and ducks were one thing, but the appearance of wolves scared Ruo Xian and his brothers!
Ruo Hang, being the oldest, went to carry Xuanbao and loudly told everyone: "Wolves are coming! Run!"
But he had underestimated Xuanbao's steadily increasing weight lately; he tried to lift her but couldn't!
No matter, if he couldn't carry her, he would have to piggyback her!
But as soon as he got his sister on his back and took a step, he was pressed down to the ground.
Ruo Hang: "..."
Ruo Xuan lay on her second brother's back, emitting a "giggle, giggle, giggle..." of laughter.
This was fun!
Ruo Hang, who was flattened and couldn't get up: "..."
It wasn't a wolf that had brought him down; it was his own little sister!
Ruo Xian and Ruo Bo hurried over to help their sister and pull up their brother.
Ruo Xian, who was always honest, said outright: "Xuanbao, you're too heavy; it's time to diet!"
He was struggling to lift his sister!
Ruo Xuan was shocked: "Nonsense, I'm not heavy at all!"
A flower, it is meant to blossom as large and as beautifully as possible!
"Brother Xuanyuan, am I right?"
