Yan Xiu and Lu Hao slowly making their way toward the village entrance, the guards called out to them when they drew near. The guards smiled when they saw the cute scene of Yan Xiu wearing his cat-eared hoodie while riding a pig.

" little Xiu, here's to sale your harvest? "

" un. " (MC)

" I see. well, go on then. Aunt Ye and uncle Lu probably already waiting for you. "

" thank you, uncle. " (MC)

Yan Xiu smiled as he waved at them when he past them, one of the guard looked at Lu Hao sternly and said.

" pull the wagon carefully, make sure little Xiu doesn't fall. "

" why are you being stern only to me?! " (LH)

Lu Hao was speechless, he pulled it very carefully alright? and even if Yan Xiu did fall, he was a second stage Qi Refinement cultivator okay? if the fall from a pig's back could hurt a cultivator at that stage, he should just quit being a cultivator!

Lu Hao pulled the wagon while grumbling but he still make sure he pulled it gently, Yan Xiu was giggling on the pig's back. Everytime a villager saw them, the villager would call out to them and the two of them would reply back. The village was small but the people was kind and cared for each other like a big family. The wooden houses and greenery in the village gave the village a being one with the nature feeling.

Most of the men were working on the field and the women doing house chores, the kids was playing and the more diligent one was either helping their parent or cultivating. The kids that saw Yan Xiu riding the pig followed him and said that they want to ride the pig too. The Six Feet Pig might be the lowest tier of beast but it still strong enough to let a few kids rode on it's back.

Yan Xiu let them rode the pig in turn with him holding them from behind. When the reached aunt Ye store, Yan Xiu jumped down from the pig and took the vegetable basket on the wagon and Lu Hao called aunt Ye. A middle aged lady came out from the store after Lu Hao called out, the lady glared at Lu Hao.

" do you have to shout so loud? I'm not deaf. "

Lu Hao wanted to cry, he just called her normally, when did he shout out loud? when aunt Ye saw Yan Xiu picking up the vegetable basket, she rushed toward him and stopped, she also lightly reprimand him.

" aiya, what are you doing little Xiu? you should left this heavy lifting to an adult. hey, what are you doing dazing there? quickly pick this up and take it to the measurement stone! " (AY)

" ..... " (LH)

Lu Hao felt like an old wife that fell out of favor, he remembered that aunt Ye doted on him before but now he had grown up and Yan Xiu appeared, he was forgotten and she doted on Yan Xiu now. Cowering before aunt Ye's authoritative glare, Lu Hao carried the vegetable basket to the measurement stone. Yan Xiu was smiling on the surface but he was rolling on the ground laughing in his mind. While he didn't hate Lu Hao, he kept a little grudge against him.

Yan Xiu's three most hated people was from the bottom to top, people who disturb him, people who vandalized his things, and the top was people who took his food. Lu Hao filled the third and first criteria, because of that Yan Xiu was pleased when his in trouble.

" as expected of little Xiu's vegetable, it has such a nice color and luster! the taste and size is nice too! and the most important thing, it contained quite a lot of Qi in it! " (AY)

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

True to it's name, the Fire Tomato was crimson in color like a ball of fire and the stalk was yellow in color. Aunt Ye bite into one of the tomato and a burst of fresh spicy and sour taste permeated her mouth and inside the flurry of taste was the gentle Qi of Spirit Vegetable. Spirit Vegetable was a term for any vegetable that contains Qi. Spirit Vegetable's Qi was gentle in nature and such very easy to absorb and nourishing for cultivator and mortal.

Yan Xiu also sold his eggs to aunt Ye, Yan Xiu earned a lot with both Fire Tomato and the Rainbow-tailed Chicken eggs.

" little Xiu, here's 10 Spirit Stone. Are you sure you don't want to sell it at the city? you can sold it for more in the city. " (AY)

" no, it's okay. I want to sell it to aunt Ye. " (MC)

the closest city from Jadesea village was Crystal city, it was two days travel to the north from Jadesea village. Yan Xiu thought about it before but decided to not sold it to the city, simply because he didn't want extra problem nor did he need extra money. Selling his crops to the village is simple and fulfilled his need already, so there was no need to went to extra length and sold it to the city.

Aunt Ye shook her head helplessly and stroke Yan Xiu's head lovingly, deep in her eyes was pity when she saw Yan Xiu. Aunt Ye thought she hide it well but Yan Xiu could see the pity in her eyes, Yan Xiu didn't say anything and let aunt Ye stroke his head. Riding the pig again, Yan Xiu and Lu Hao went to the next destination.

After a short walk they reached their destination, Lu Hao's house, Lu family butchery. Lu Hao was about to called out like he did at aunt Ye but a strong voice already hit him before he let out his.

" you idiot son, come here!! "

When Lu Hao heard the voice, he paled and remembered something before cursing at himself and turned around to run away. Barely running a few steps, a strong muscular arm grabbed Lu Hao's and a fist fell to his head.

" ouch! " (LH)

A middle aged man stood behind Lu Hao, his face showed his rage. The man was Lu Hao's dad, Lu Rianli. there was wrinkle on his face but it didn't decrease his handsomeness, in fact, it gave his handsome face additional flavor. His body was slender yet muscular, Lu Hao completely inherited his dad's good parts.

" dad, can't you not hit me so hard?! " (LH)

" shut up! did you go and bother little Xiu again this morning? " (LR)

Lu Hao instantly shut up and his eyes swam around, Lu Rianli knew the answer after seeing his son expression. He shook his head and sigh.

" why can't you be a little diligent? I hope you learn a little from little Xiu and helped me a little as the heir of this butchery. " (LR)

Lu Hao already grew calluses in his ears from listening to his dad comparing him to little Xiu, Lu Hao didn't have any interest in being a butcher, his interest lied on cultivating and eating. That was why, no matter what his father said he would never stop scrounge for food from Yan Xiu. Well, maybe he will help out sometime. Just so to ease the nagging he would receive.

Turning his head to Yan Xiu, Lu Rianli saw Yan Xiu pulling a pig toward him and his eyes brightened. The Six Feet Pig was bigger than normal, the black pig's skin was shining when hit by sunlight. Lu Rianli ran his hand all over the pig, from his experience as a butcher, he knew this pig's meat has a good balance between meat and fat. Every part of the pig was filled with meat, even the three pairs of feet was fat. Lu Rianli laughed and stroke Yan Xiu's head.

" Good! little Xiu, you really had talent as a farmer! " (LR)

While his touch was kind of rough, it didn't felt bad. Yan Xiu liked it when Lu Rianli stroke his head, it reminded him of his papa. Lu Hao who saw this scene was speechless once again, he began to doubt was he really his dad's son?

Lu Rianli brought the pig into the store, when he pass the door he remembered something.

" Little Xiu, I've taught you how to butcher small beasts but has yet to teach you how to butcher big beasts right? this is a good chance, come here and I'll teach you. " (LR)

Yan Xiu was indeed learning how to butcher from Lu Rianli, and while he was already taught how to butcher little beasts, Yan Xiu still didn't know how to butcher big beasts. Hearing what Lu Rianli said, Yan Xiu eagerly followed Lu Rianli into the store. Seeing the two people disappeared into the store, Lu Hao could only followed them after putting the wagon on the side.
