Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered with them. Others only treated him as a joke, but he knew that above his head was the real God of Fortune.
Looking up, he saw a few familiar figures. They were none other than the newcomers who had come with him before. Just as he was about to greet them, he saw them hurriedly leave under Fang Tai’s lead. As they walked, Lady Asun turned her head and looked at him worriedly.
Yang Kai scratched his head, wondering why these people gave off a feeling like they were trying to avoid the plague. Next to him was Old Fang. Turning his head to look, Old Fang let out a heavy sigh, slowly shook his head, and with a pained look, also left.
Yang Kai sneered, ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, his figure flickered as he flew towards the servants’ house.
After a short while, he returned to his house, but when he arrived, General Si Chen, who had been lying on his head, flapped his wings and flew down. After landing, he walked around the village with his head held high, seemingly inspecting his territory.
Yang Kai suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Although General Si Chen had given him a lot of Open HEaven Pills over the past month, he had always treated his head like a chicken’s nest, causing him to have no time to tidy up his messy hair. Now, he had finally left.
Turning around, he entered the house and combed his hair. Just as he was done, he heard a knocking sound outside the door.
Yang Kai walked over and opened the door, revealing a graceful figure wrapped in a fragrant scent.
“Xiao Die?” Yang Kai looked at the newcomer, “You came at the right time, I was just about to look for you.”
“Are you looking for me?” Die You asked, “Let’s not talk about this first, what’s wrong with you?”
“What do you mean?” Yang Kai was stunned.
“The village is saying that you offended the Great General and were punished by him. Many people saw the Great General lying on your head and treating your head like a chicken’s nest. Is that true?”
Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing, “That’s true, but the rumors aren’t true, I didn’t offend that stupid chicken.”
“Really?” Die You looked at him suspiciously. They hadn’t known each other for long, and the time they had spent together was even shorter. She didn’t know what kind of personality Yang Kai had, but from the looks of it, he wasn’t someone who knew his place, so she was afraid he would try to provoke the Great General.
Yang Kai smiled at her, “Xiao Die, you really care about me.”
Die You said, “I am also a newcomer once, so I know how difficult it is for a newcomer. If someone had helped me back then, the situation would definitely have been much better. Later on, I thought that if I had the opportunity in the future, I would help a newcomer if I could. Who knows when this newcomer will ascend to the throne? At that time, I would also be able to benefit from it.”
“I see!” Yang Kai nodded lightly.
Die You suddenly punched Yang Kai’s shoulder, “Also, a newbie shouldn’t be so arrogant, calling me Xiao Die!”
“It doesn’t matter,” Yang Kai smiled and waved his hand, “Take a look at this!”
Die You looked down and immediately covered her mouth in shock, “You… where did you get so many Open Heaven Pills?” The same words coming from Die You’s mouth and Old Fang’s mouth, but it gave off a completely different feeling.
“This is for you!” Yang Kai pushed his hand forward.
Die You looked at him suspiciously, “Why do you have so many Open Heaven Pills?”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “If I said it was the Great General who rewarded me, would you believe me? Ah, let alone you, even I don’t believe it, but the truth is that it was the Great General who rewarded me.”
“What happened?” Die You was shocked.
Yang Kai told her about how he had seen the Great General being surrounded and forced to fall into his fruit garden, then how he had taken him to find insects to eat. Of course, he didn’t mention the great battle he had with the Great General because it would be too embarrassing if he told others about it. When she heard that Yang Kai was actually able to obtain a one for one Spirit Pill reward for feeding the Great General, Die You’s small mouth curled into a beautiful circle…
The main reason for this was that since he wanted to return Die You's Open Heaven Pill, he had to explain the origin of this pill. Moreover, she had indeed helped him a lot. First, she had answered many of his questions for free, then she had brought him to the marketplace and lend money for him to buy a set of insect catching tools. Today, when she heard that he was in trouble, she had rushed over to ask him about it. Since she treated him so sincerely, Yang Kai couldn’t lie to her.
More importantly, this matter couldn’t be kept hidden forever. When he had brought General Si Chen to catch insects, several people had personally witnessed the Great General bestow a Spirit Pill upon him, so Yang Kai had no reason to conceal it.
“That’s what happened,” Yang Kai shrugged.
“Really?” Die You still couldn’t believe it. She had been here for so many years, but she had never seen the Great General treat anyone so well.
“You don’t believe me? If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself… Right, do you have any Jade Fire Silkworms?”
Die You nodded subconsciously, “I caught two this month.”
“Give it to me!” Yang Kai stretched out his hand.
Die You handed over her wooden box to Yang Kai, who immediately walked out and whistled loudly before turning around and entering the house, “Wait a moment.”
After waiting for a while, the outside of the door was filled with a golden light. Great General Si Chen, who had recovered his half-human height, blocked the door and peeked inside.
“Stupid chicken, come in, I’ll give you something delicious to eat.” After spending a month together, Yang Kai had become familiar with the Great General and no longer needed to be so careful.
On the other hand, Die You was shocked, fearing that the Great General would become angry, but when she looked around, she saw that General Si Chen had really walked in and didn’t mind Yang Kai’s greeting at all, causing her to click her tongue in wonder.
Yang Kai opened the wooden box and took out two Jade Fire Silkworms. The Great General didn’t refuse any of them, eating them twice before turning his head and staring at Die You with one eye…
Die You felt uncomfortable being stared at.
“Xiao Die is fine, there’s no need to avoid her,” Yang Kai reached out to her.
The Great General opened his mouth and spat out a ball of golden light. After the golden light dissipated, Yang Kai suddenly took out two Open Heaven Pills and proudly waved them towards Die You.
Seeing this scene with her own eyes, Die You was flabbergasted. Yang Kai had really give two Jade Fire Silkworms to the Great General and obtained two Open Heaven Pills!
“Go play by yourself,” Yang Kai waved his hand.
The Great General turned around and walked out of the door with his fat hips swaying.
“You… how did you do it?” After a long time, Die You came back to her senses and stared at Yang Kai in disbelief.
“How would I know?” Yang Kai knew that he had fought with it, but now it had become like this. Rubbing his chin, he said, “Perhaps that stupid chicken likes me…”
He couldn’t believe his own ears.
“In any case, I have enough money to pay you back,” Yang Kai took out another thirty Spirit Pills and put them into Die You’s hands.
Die You took it in a daze, as if she had received a great blow to her mental state, unable to recover for a long time.
It wasn’t until Yang Kai reached out and waved his hand in front of her that her vision returned to normal.
“Are we going to the market?”
“Why are you going there again?”
“I’m going to buy some Hundred Refinements Incense.”
“Didn’t you just buy two last time…” Die You didn’t finish her sentence before coming back to her senses, “Did you use them all?”
Yang Kai laughed, “Why else do you think I have so many Spirit Pills? Previously, I brought the Great General to sweep through the surrounding gardens and the two boxes of Hundred Refinements Incense were long gone.” If he hadn’t taken a box from Old Fang, he really wouldn’t have been able to last until the end of this month.
Die You immediately understood his intentions, “Do you still want to bring the Great General to catch insects like before?”
Yang Kai rubbed his fists and said, “This is a great way to make money, there’s no reason not to use it.”
Die You pondered for a moment before saying, “But have you thought about it? If that’s the case, you might offend many people.”
There was no need for her to remind him. Yang Kai knew that he had already offended a number of people.
Yang Kai sneered, “If i offend someone, so be it. As long as i have the Open Heaven Pill, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Die You slowly shook her head, “It’s not appropriate. If you really offend too many people, you won’t be able to establish yourself in this servants’ house. Those people don’t dare to deal with the Great General, so they will definitely come looking for trouble with you.”
Yang Kai raised his arms and said, “So what? Do you think I’m afraid of them?”
Die You glared at him, “If you believe me, how about you listen to my method?”
“Go ahead,” Yang Kai turned to look at her. After all, she had lived here for a thousand years and knew more than he did.
Die You waved at him.
Yang Kai leaned over and immediately felt a burst of breath…
Listening to this, Yang Kai’s eyes lit up.
A moment later, Die You said, “Of course, I’m just making a suggestion. You can decide what you want to do, but no matter where you go, you’ll always attract jealousy.”
Yang Kai stroked his chin and nodded, “This is a good idea, it will save me a lot of trouble.”
“So you agree?”
“I agree, why not!” Yang Kai nodded seriously, “I’ll eat meat and leave some soup for them.”
“Moreover, that is what they deserve, even more than what they gave to Great General. Many people will be grateful to you.”
Yang Kai chuckled, “It doesn’t matter, we’ll do as you say. En, but in this case, we’ll still have to go to the market, so there’s no need to buy so many Hundred Refined Fragrance. Oh right, Xiao Die, the Fire Spiritual Land has Jade Fire Silkworms, what about the other Spiritual Lands?”
Die You said, “You’re quite quick-witted, I was just about to tell you about this. The other fruit trees in the Spiritual Land will naturally give birth to some exotic insects, but I don’t know what Great General’s taste is, whether he will like them or not. You can go to the market and buy a few to try.”
“That will require a lot of investment…” Yang Kai looked at Die You with a burning gaze, “Xiao Die, you must help me.”
Die You covered her mouth and giggled, “Since I have such a proposal, I will naturally help you, but…” She leaned closer to Yang Kai and arched her shoulder to him, “Little Brother, when you soar in the future, don’t forget to support Big Sister!”
