Chapter 140: Royal Jelly! Expedition Against The Joyful Union Sect Demon Persons!
Chen Han thought of this and hurriedly walked out of Uncle’s kitchen.
The game prompt said that the spirit beast that invaded the family had entered the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s Blessed Land, which was the sea of flowers.
He quickly reached the outside of the offering flower sea of flowers and saw a bunch of doggies gathered at the entrance, barking.
He could hear You Cai barking inside the sea of flowers.
When Chen Han came closer, those doggies still felt a bit of awe toward him as the patriarch and instinctively backed away to the side.
Only the Xiao Bai that the junior sister had left to be raised hung its head and did not notice him coming, and the corner of its mouth was badly swollen.
Chen Han walked over, squatted down, and grabbed its swollen mouth corner to check. Xiao Bai was startled when it saw him; its body shivered instinctively, but with its chin being held, it did not dare move.
One look at the doggy’s mouth and Chen Han knew it had been stung by bees. It was definitely this dog being disgraceful again.
Before, among all those stray dogs, this White Dog was the most disgraceful. It had been beaten up many times by the stray dogs outside the village and still did not learn its lesson.
So, the invading demonic beasts were bees?
Chen Han let go of the White Dog, opened the gate to the sea of flowers, and walked in. That White Dog seemed pardoned, and together with the other doggies, curiously looked into the sea of flowers but did not dare follow.
Woof woof! ~
You Cai barked as it kept leaping up, slapping at the bees flying around.
【You arrived at the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s Blessed Land and saw the Mountain Protecting Spirit Dog King in fierce battle with a group of giant demonic bees that had invaded the family.】
Those giant demonic bees had surrounded the Mountain Protecting Spirit Dog King. Although the king’s sharp claws drew cold arcs in the sunlight, tearing open the vanguard of the swarm’s offensive, the giant demonic bees’ golden-brown shells were extremely hard and did not suffer substantial damage.
This kind of giant demonic bee was a gregarious demonic beast. Individually, it might not be very strong, but when it swarmed, it posed a terrifying threat.
Especially as their stingers flickered with eerie green poison light, pressing forward like a moving thorn thicket. The buzzing shook the surrounding flowers and plants until they trembled.
Please rescue the Mountain Protecting Spirit Dog King, kill 10 giant demonic bees, and intimidate these giant demonic bees!】
Looking at the game prompt and those bees flying around, Chen Han felt images of ferocious giant bees already appear in his mind.
Seeing the game prompt, Chen Han did not hesitate. He stepped forward, looked at the flying bees, and took out a box of toothpick swords from the warehouse.
He activated the Sword Control Technique, and a toothpick sword appeared in his hand.
With a wave, that toothpick sword shot quickly toward a bee.
To his surprise, that bee actually sensed the threat and dodged in advance. No wonder this little thing could reach 10 meters per second at top speed. Coupled with its small size, it was really troublesome.
Of course, the main issue was still that his own strength was weak. He had only opened two meridians. Even if a toothpick sword could now easily pierce through a person’s neck, facing these bees, plus his lack of control experience, there were indeed limitations.
However, there was always a method. He aimed at a bee that was dodging You Cai’s pounces, activated the Sword Control Technique, and that toothpick sword instantly shot toward it.
That bee had spent its strength dodging You Cai. Caught off guard, it was directly pierced through by the toothpick sword and fell straight to the ground.
【Congratulations, you have rescued the Mountain Protecting Spirit Dog King by killing one giant demonic bee. Current kills: 1/This is still not enough to intimidate the swarm of giant demonic bees!】
Woof woof woof!
You Cai barked at him excitedly, clearly wanting to express how well they were working together.
“Go!” Chen Han said just one word to the doggy.
The doggy then very cooperatively lunged at another bee.
He used the Sword Control Technique again; another toothpick sword shot out, and with the doggy’s help, it accurately hit another giant demonic bee.
【Congratulations, you have rescued the Mountain Protecting Spirit Dog King by killing one giant demonic bee. Current kills: 2/This is still not enough to intimidate the swarm of giant demonic bees!】
【Congratulations… Current kills: 3/..!】
【Congratulations… Current kills: 4/..!】
As more giant demonic bees died under his toothpick swords, he quickly killed the 10 giant demonic bees required by the system.
The game system prompt sounded again:
【You struck like thunder and, together with the Mountain Protecting Spirit Dog King, killed 10 giant demonic bees. At last you intimidated the remaining giant demonic bees, filled them with fear, and they all fled, flying out of the family’s territory!】
At this moment, Chen Han also saw a cluster of White Light floating not far away.
Obviously, there was an item drop.
Wrapped in the White Light was a piece of beehive. He immediately took it into the warehouse and saw the remark information:
【Untreated Royal Jelly（Beehive）: This is a special product created when demonic bees collect pollen from rare flowers. It is the king of honeys. After being processed into royal jelly, long-term drinking in water is greatly beneficial to the human body and has marvelous effects: relieve fatigue +1, moisten lungs and stop cough +1, moisten intestines and relieve constipation +1, beauty +1, replenish nutrition +1!】
Seeing the effects of this royal jelly, Chen Han felt it was indeed good. Although each attribute only added +1, the quantity was decent, and each effect was quite significant.
Not to mention the literal “relieve fatigue +”
“Moisten lungs and stop cough +1” and “moisten intestines and relieve constipation +1” were also effects honey already had; they were just enhanced by +
The key was “beauty +” This should be something women would all like. After all, there were so many beauty products on the market; only the women who used them knew whether they worked.
Then there was “replenish nutrition +” If someone was injured and so on, they should all be able to drink it. With better nutritional supplementation, recovery speed could be slightly faster.
If this could be cultivated in large quantities, it would be amazing.
Unfortunately, there were no giant demonic bees in reality. There was no way to cultivate them, unless the game system released some special quest later.
Even so, he still wanted to taste this royal jelly.
When he walked out of the sea of flowers with You Cai, Xiao Yu arrived with some clan members.
She also saw the White Dog with its swollen mouth. “Xiao Bai, what happened to your mouth?”
“Stung by bees,” Chen Han said with a smile as he came out and explained.
Xiao Yu quickly said, “Xiao Bai, bear with it for now. I will take you to apply medicine later.”
As she spoke, she came to Chen Han. “Senior brother, these are the clan members who work in the sea of flowers. I had them go in first to make preparations.”
Chen Han nodded to those clan members.
These Chen Clan members also bowed slightly to him, respect on their faces.
To people like them, the patriarch’s reputation was now very high. After all, the Chen Clan was thriving, and for them this prosperity came from the patriarch putting aside his pride and doing abstract things to earn money.
If not for the patriarch, they would not all have jobs right at their doorstep, with salaries higher than working outside. And by setting aside a room at home as a Feng Shui Room, they earned more than ten thousand a month in extra income.
“Patriarch!”
“Patriarch!”
“…”
As Chen Han passed, they all spoke up sincerely in turn.
When Chen Han returned to Uncle’s kitchen, the aroma of medicinal cuisine was already wafting out. He went into Uncle’s home to look for tools to process the beehive.
Especially clean containers and strainers.
First, he had to get the honey out of the beehive into a large basin, then filter it again and put the obtained royal jelly into empty bottles.
After finishing processing the royal jelly, he immediately took some boiled, cooled water and brewed a small pot of honey water. He tried a small cup; the sweetness was very good.
It was not too cloying, and it carried a special honey fragrance, very pleasant and with a very good taste.
After one small cup, he could feel a sense of comfort. That was the “relieve fatigue +1” attribute taking effect. Even though he was not actually tired, the comfortable feeling could not be faked.
After that, he put the pot of honey water into the fridge to chill.
Once chilled, the honey water would taste even more refreshing and delicate, cool and icy. Even without the “relieve fatigue +1” attribute, in hot weather, drinking it would instantly dispel the heat, and the sweetness would become gentler.
…
In the Chen Clan, as time passed, more tourists gradually arrived. Not only did the residents staying in the Chen Clan come out to move around, many tourists who rushed over early in the morning showed up.
Chu Hao was one of them. He had arrived in Qingmin City very late last night, so he could only stay one night there with his fiancée and younger sister and come over early today.
This time, he had naturally come to ask the Chen Family Head for more Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. The previous batch of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea had been completely used up.
Moreover, this time he had also heard about something concerning a tycoon in Qingmin City’s father, who had previously suffered from a serious eye disease that seemed to have been cured here by the Chen Clan.
He had learned of this matter by accident. It was being discussed in a small private circle, and he got wind of it, so he specifically had people investigate.
This confirmed one point for him: the Chen Clan seemed able to cure illnesses. At least in this case, an eye disease that the hospital could not handle had been resolved by the Chen Clan.
And just so, a big shot his father currently wanted to win favor with had a difficult-to-cure symptom. Relying on the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea plus his engagement to his fiancée and their joint efforts, their Chu family had a chance to rise another level.
If they could also connect with this big shot and build a good relationship, the Chu family’s rise to a higher level would be almost guaranteed.
There were also tiers among tycoons.
But this matter could not be rushed. He would wait until after visiting the Chen Family Head to ask.
“Bro, let’s hurry to the sea of flowers!” After getting out of the car, Chu Ling was already itching to go.
Chu Hao looked at his sister with some helplessness. To be honest, now that he had a fiancée, he wanted a world for just the two of them. Having an extra third wheel was a bit uncomfortable.
“Sis, you know, sometimes even when three people go out together, a world for two is still very important,” Chu Hao reminded her. His meaning was obvious: after getting to the Chen Clan, she could move around on her own.
“Got it, bro.” Chu Ling nodded, then immediately pulled over Lin Wanwan and said, “Sister-in-law, let’s go see the sea of flowers first. My brother has never been interested in flowers. He definitely won’t want to go.”
“Okay!” Lin Wanwan nodded and walked into the Chen Clan hand in hand with her future sister-in-law Chu Ling.
“????” Chu Hao opened his mouth, suddenly feeling thrown off.
So the “world for two” was for the two of you?
Chu Ling and Lin Wanwan had done their homework beforehand and knew roughly where the Chen Clan’s offering flower sea of flowers was. Soon, they reached the sea of flowers.
There, they realized how lively it was, the place was almost shoulder to shoulder.
Xiao Yu had been checking the situation here since early morning. She felt somewhat relieved that only 500 tickets were released for the first day of the sea of flowers.
Although under normal circumstances, with staggered visiting times, the sea of flowers could handle more than 500, the prior popularity and the appeal of the first opening meant everyone was rushing over early.
Fortunately, enough staff and security had been arranged at the sea of flowers. Otherwise, they would not have been able to handle all the tourists.
Early on, three tourists with itchy hands were stopped immediately.
Chu Ling and Lin Wanwan quickly had their tickets checked and entered the sea of flowers. The moment they went in, they showed expressions of intoxication, completely mesmerized by the fragrance.
“Sister-in-law, this fragrance is amazing,” Chu Ling said, her face full of surprise.
Lin Wanwan nodded. She had seen many seas of flowers and liked them. Otherwise, she would not have specially come with Chu Hao today. She had also seen many seas of flowers planted with top-grade varieties, where many fragrances were quite enchanting.
But now, compared with the Chen Clan’s offering flower sea of flowers, those others seemed to be nothing.
Exclamations from tourists all around came one after another:
“This Chen Clan sea of flowers not only smells good, it’s beautiful. The colors are stunning.”
“Yeah, this level of brilliance is incredible. I can’t believe these peonies and lilies and all these flowers!”
“…”
Chu Ling and Lin Wanwan saw the sea of flowers and naturally knew these people were not exaggerating. Especially when they were in the midst of it, they truly felt that this sea of flowers was not of the mortal world.
After entering the sea of flowers, the two of them also took out their mobile phones to take photos of each other and of the flowers. Although they were daughters of wealthy families, in this regard, their tastes were no different from those of ordinary girls.
Passing through one area, they saw many special platforms and quite a few people worshiping, while others discussed in low voices:
“The Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation really gave blessings before. A lot of people personally experienced it.”
“Of course. The flowers here were originally ordinary. They’re this gorgeous and fragrant because of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s blessing.”
“The sea of flowers bloomed all in one night before. Without the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s Heavenly Sweet Dew, who would believe it?”
“So worshiping the Heavenly Lord will bring good fortune.”
“…”
These words made Chu Ling and Lin Wanwan subconsciously look at the shrine pavilion’s Statue of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation. Before coming, they had, of course, read about these legends.
When they saw the Statue of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, they instinctively froze. The statue was unexpectedly solemn, and this solemnity made it feel as if the Heavenly Lord truly stood there, watching all beings.
This feeling made them lower their heads subconsciously and quietly walk over to the place for worship, where they piously bowed.
…
In the kitchen, Chen Han added boiled water into the medicinal cuisine. Just then, he heard a man and woman arguing outside: “Do you even have a conscience? Are you worthy of me? When I married you, you had nothing. Now things are finally better…”
Chen Han frowned and walked out. Just then, he saw Chen Dagou enter the courtyard. “Xiao Han!”
“Uncle Dagou, what’s going on?” Chen Han asked, puzzled.
Chen Dagou went out with him and pointed at a middle-aged clan member standing there with his head drooping. “It’s this guy. He had this hidden on him and got caught by his wife.”
As he spoke, he handed a card to Chen Han. When Chen Han saw the card, he was stunned. The words on it like “mature lady,” “stockings,” “dragon…” and so on were very familiar.
Wasn’t this a seductive magical artifact refined by the Joyful Union Sect demon people, used specifically to lure cauldrons to deliver themselves? It was a truly evil magical artifact.
Seeing Chen Han look at the card, that clan member said nervously, “Patriarch, I just picked up that card. I didn’t do anything.”
“If you did nothing, why hide it on you?” his crying wife snapped, then turned to Chen Han for help. “Patriarch, you must stand up for me. When I married him, he had nothing, and I bore him a son. Now he’s so heartless.”
Obviously, everyone now truly recognized Chen Han as patriarch in their hearts and treated him as the head of the family. Otherwise, they would not bring this kind of matter to him to decide.
Chen Han could also tell that although the clan member’s wife was angry, she had no intention of ending the marriage, so he went up and kicked the clan member, cursing, “Useless thing. Go kneel at the Heavenly Lord Hall and let Aunt-Grandmother teach you the 《Eleven Precepts Scripture》. Recite it 50 times. Uncle Dagou, help aunt keep an eye on him.”
Although the Daoist Sect had no scripture specifically about lust, this kind of mistake fell under the 《Eleven Precepts Scripture》. Reciting it 50 times would pretty much take up the whole day.
As for that clan member, he could only mutter an explanation, “Patriarch, I really didn’t do anything…”
His wife did not want to hear his excuses at all. With the patriarch’s punishment backing her, she suddenly had confidence. She grabbed her husband by the ear and dragged him toward the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall. “Hear that? The patriarch has ordered you to recite scriptures, you heartless wretch!”
Chen Han shook his head at this, then looked at that Joyful Union Sect card. He did not believe that clan member truly had no thoughts at all. Men’s psychology, after all.
But with these Joyful Union Sect demon people appearing, if his Chen Clan members got entangled with them, that would be a mess. After working so hard to earn money, would they just hand it over to demon people?
As he was thinking this, a game system prompt appeared:
【Previously, Joyful Union Sect demon people had already infiltrated the family. The illusion array on Green Luan Peak and those demonic shadows seemed to be the work of the Joyful Union Sect demon people. However, this time, the Joyful Union Sect demon people have launched a large-scale invasion of the Chen Clan’s territory.
Moreover, the seductive magical artifacts refined by these Joyful Union Sect demon people are endlessly troublesome and have already started ensnaring Chen Clan Members. If clan members carelessly become cauldrons, it will definitely weaken the family’s strength.
Therefore, you have decided to go on campaign against the Joyful Union Sect demon people and wipe them out entirely. However, before that, someone must personally step into the game and offer themselves, go deep to understand the Joyful Union Sect demon people, and obtain enough intelligence first!】
“…” Chen Han stared at this game prompt, his mouth twitching.
He understood each word of “personally step into the game,” “offer themselves,” and “go deep to understand” on its own.
But put together, why did it feel so wrong?
Was it what he thought it was?
