Chapter 29: On One Side The Fairy Wants To Wipe Out The Family, On The Other The Dog Demon Evolves Into The Dog Demon King
“Senior brother, the video is finished, right? Then I’ll go shoot my own video.” Xiao Yu gave a soft hum and walked out of the courtyard.
Next time she would never fall for senior brother’s trick again.
After his junior sister left, Chen Han also gave the cover of the 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》 a close-up shot.
He would need it later for editing the video.
The audience, not knowing the truth, hearing him talk it up so loftily, with talk of elder’s legacy notes and formations, only for it to turn out to be a 《Quiet Heart Art》 in the end, their expressions would surely be wonderful.
After filming, he also went into the attic.
The Chen Clan had many Daoist Sect Books, all in the main family, and all in the attic of the Patriarch’s Residence.
In the attic, aside from the Patriarch’s Residence, study room, and pill room, Books took up most of the space. The various Rooms of Books were connected, a rather unique design.
Inside were not only the sect’s main Daoist Scriptures, but also Daoist classics relating to mountains, medicine, fate, physiognomy, divination, and other fields.
Opening the Library, Chen Han once again took out the Spirit Shadow Mirror to record: “I, the Chen Family Head, and my junior sister, upon learning there is a formation at the Patriarch’s Residence, decided to split up. I will search the Library for the family’s Ancient Book to decode the elder’s legacy notes, while my junior sister goes to look for traces of the formation.”
After searching for a while, he found two Daoist Books about Scripture Notation, then returned to his own Room and started studying.
He had to admit Scripture Notation was difficult.
Even though he had learned quite a bit from his father before, all the way until night he had only gained a little and instead felt mentally exhausted.
Stopping to rest, he took a shower, and when he came out he checked the game interface information in his mind, and finally focused on the task 【“Shocked by the bad news”】.
The Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy was about to come to the Chen Clan to seek revenge on him. In the game system’s plot, this was his biggest Crisis at the moment.
So, he took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, went into the block list, unblocked one Weixin account, and wanted to send a message. But after hesitating for a long time, not knowing what to say, he could only tap a smiling emoji.
No words could be spoken; he could only use an emoji pack to break the awkwardness.
But what he saw was a red exclamation mark!
“…” Chen Han was embarrassed, even a bit self-mocking. Had he not seen that the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy wanted to kill him as soon as she saw him? How could it be that he blocked her while she did nothing?
Sighing, he found another telephone number and unblocked it, then dialed. He heard a busy tone from the other side, along with “the number you dialed is in a call, temporarily unreachable.”
He waited a while, called again, and got the same prompt.
It seemed he was also blocked there.
This…
Almost at the same time, a game prompt appeared:
【You tried to use long-distance transmission to resolve your grudge with the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy, but she used a great spell to block your transmission. This clearly means only one thing: she does not want to waste a single extra word on you. Her resolve to kill you is set. A bloody conflict between the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Chen Clan seems unavoidable!】
“…” Chen Han let out a sigh.
“Does not want to say a single extra word,” “her resolve to kill you is set” were only plot descriptions from the game system, but from them he could still tell that Xiao Mi probably truly hated him.
Anyone would, right? She was a dazzling National Style Goddess, her affectionate boyfriend had just won her over and then disappeared, even blocking her on WeChat and on his mobile phone.
Anyone would know they had run into a scumbag and would grit their teeth in hatred.
Moreover, from the game system’s plot description, the Fairy was coming for him specifically. It was very likely she already knew he was with the Chen Clan. After all, she knew his junior sister, and his junior sister had posted promotional videos that included the scene of him turning into an apple.
Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and called his uncle. As soon as the call connected, he instructed, “Uncle, help me do something that will save my life.”
“Xiao Han, what is it?” Chen Lin hurriedly asked when he heard his nephew’s words.
Chen Han decisively ordered, “Uncle, tomorrow help me go to the county to buy orchids. All kinds of orchids. Buy more that bloom in June, then plant my courtyard full of them.”
Back then, the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy had told him she liked orchids. He had also earnestly told the Fairy that he had a big courtyard and would bring her home in the future and fill the courtyard with the orchids she liked.
So now, the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy was coming with heavy killing intent. When she saw a courtyard full of orchids, saw that he still remembered his past promise and had completed it on his own, the impact would be huge.
Isn’t this exactly how things develop in novels and film and television plots?
A sect’s Heavenly Prodigy and his beloved fulfill an agreement. The prodigy’s Foundation is destroyed, his Life is Short, and he chooses to quietly die so as not to drag down his beloved.
The beloved, not knowing the Truth, grows to hate because of love, and desperately searches for the prodigy. When she finds him, sees him fulfilling their former promise, all killing intent vanishes. At this moment the prodigy spits a mouthful of blood, showing a tragically beautiful near-death state…
Chen Han felt he could become a director.
With that thought, he hung up and transferred 50,000 to his uncle, not forgetting to urge him: “Uncle, try to hurry. Best if it’s all done tomorrow.”
Although Chen Lin did not understand his nephew’s instruction, seeing how anxious he was, after accepting the transfer he headed out of the Chen Clan, planning to go overnight to a flower planting base in the county.
Just before leaving the Chen Clan, he saw Xiao Yu filming videos. This girl was really diligent.
Looking at Xiao Yu, he asked thoughtfully, “Xiao Yu, do you like orchids?”
Xiao Yu said with a bright smile, “I do. I even planted a few pots in my courtyard. Uncle, why are you suddenly asking this?”
“It’s good you like orchids. Maybe your senior brother is preparing a surprise for you!” Chen Lin suddenly had a moment of realization, then left the Chen Clan with a smile.
It seemed his nephew was not entirely a clueless straight man; he did know how to please girls.
Xiao Yu was not stupid and heard the implication.
Her senior brother was preparing a surprise for her. Could it be orchids?
Her heart sped up, her pretty face blushed.
She suddenly felt very happy.
Her phone vibrated with a WeChat message. Seeing it was from Xiao Mi Jie, she quickly checked. It was a screenshot of a flight ticket time.
She happily replied, “Xiao Mi Jie, I’ve already prepared a place for you to stay. Just waiting for you to come.”
“Thank you,” Xiao Mi Jie replied.
Xiao Yu was in a great mood and could not help sharing, “Xiao Mi Jie, something happy happened to me today. It seems senior brother is preparing a surprise for me!”
But after she shared her good mood, she found that Xiao Mi Jie did not reply.
She had wanted Xiao Mi Jie to help her analyze it.
Before senior brother came back, when she talked with Xiao Mi Jie about him, Xiao Mi Jie would always give her advice.
In the Room.
Chen Han was about to rest when he suddenly received a game system prompt:
【The Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy has already set the time to come to the Chen Clan to seek revenge on you. Her hatred for you has greatly increased. Everyone who has seen her notices her chilling killing intent. She seems determined not to rest until your family is annihilated!】
“???” Seeing this game prompt, Chen Han was stunned.
Previously, the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy was just coming to seek revenge and kill him. How did it suddenly become exterminating his entire clan?
In novels and film and television, this kind of situation definitely meant some petty villain was stirring things up, like a best friend type person.
Exhausting.
He could only hope the courtyard full of orchids his uncle planted would satisfy the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy.
Next, he rummaged through the cabinet in his Room and pulled out a crumpled medical report.
…
Time passed. The night went by.
As the second day approached the Maoshi Hour, Chen Han, half-asleep, heard his alarm clock ring. He got up without hesitation, washed up briefly, went to the Special Spiritual Aperture, then sat cross-legged and waited for the Spiritual Energy Rinse.
As a streak of morning glow appeared at the horizon, a ray of sunlight shone from above. In that instant, the Spiritual Energy Rinse attribute of the Special Spiritual Aperture was triggered.
Chen Han had already activated the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》. All his pores opened as he did his utmost to guide and absorb the spiritual energy around him.
As he started the Refinement of spiritual energy, that special Inner Vision sensation appeared again. He closed his eyes and sat motionless in the pavilion.
Before long, Zhao Kang appeared. As he had the day before, he got up for a light morning run. As with last night, he had drunk two cups of Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, and his insomnia symptoms had not appeared.
At first, he had intended the Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea to be used only for hosting clients, given it cost 50,000 per jin.
Now he felt he should drink a little every day. Compared with Good Health, spending some more money was nothing.
Reaching the Three Old Elm Trees, he once again saw the Chen Family Head, who seemed to be in samadhi cultivation in the pavilion, motionless.
Seeing him cultivate like this, Zhao Kang increasingly felt the Chen Family Head was somewhat mysterious.
After resting for half an hour, seeing that the Chen Family Head still had not emerged from samadhi, he did not dare disturb him and went back on his own to the Chen Clan Tourist Service Center.
A long time later, Chen Han finally withdrew from the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic cultivation method》.
Today he still had not managed to guide the true qi transformed from spiritual energy into his Dantian. It was all nourishing his body. When it flowed into the Taiyin Meridian, it was all consumed on healing his lung damage.
But when he checked his lifespan, his face filled with a smile.
Lifespan: 48 days 6 hours.
Today, through the Spiritual Energy Rinse and cultivating the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》, he had increased his life by 12 days, two more than the first time’s 10 days.
This meant his previous prediction was correct. As the cancer was more and more cured, the Effect would get better and better.
This put him in a very good mood.
Hearing continuous barking from the village, he took out the Spirit Shadow Mirror and aimed it at the village to record, saying, “Just after finishing cultivation this morning, I heard the dog demons outside the family provoking our Chen Clan. I happen to be in the mood today to have some fun with them.”
The video about the 《Quiet Heart Art》 and the formation was not yet finished, so he would shoot another daily video about inciting dog demon infighting.
Thinking this, he went to the Tourist Service Center, found a piece of meat and sliced it, then left the village.
Since the dog demons were provoking the Chen Clan, he would naturally continue to incite their infighting and wear down their strength.
As he neared the peach forest, he once again saw those wandering dog demons outside the village. With the Spirit Shadow Mirror recording, he said, “For the safety of the family, I, the Chen Family Head, am exhausting my wits. I hope that in some future year, descendants will remember me as this heroic family head.”
With the experience from the previous two times, he was very practiced. He dropped slices of meat along the way; a group of dog demons followed the meat. At the village entrance, he saw a familiar face.
The white-furred doggy was strolling about leisurely.
Since it was an old acquaintance, he threw the meat slices directly to it.
Doggy noticed, ate one slice, found it delicious, then saw the second slice and pounced, then the third, the fourth, holding them down with its paw. Realizing something was wrong, it saw a group of stray dogs from outside the village surrounding it.
Woof woof woof.
The white-furred doggy actually barked at them again, baring its teeth, putting on a fierce act, and several of the outside dogs pounced at it.
Without hesitating, it grabbed the meat under its paw and turned to run toward the village. Unfortunately it was too slow and got knocked down. After a bout of miserable howling, it clamped half a piece of meat in its mouth, lifted one front leg, and hobbled toward the village at a run.
Seeing this, Chen Han knew it had worked. He pointed the Spirit Shadow Mirror at the village. Sure enough, moments later that little earth dog led a group of dog demons charging out from the village, and then the dog demons fought so fiercely that sand and stones flew.
He had to admit that the little earth dog and those dog demons from the village were formidable; they actually won again. But what happened next left him dumbfounded.
The outside dogs did not run this time. Instead, they lowered their heads, and then followed the little earth dog’s group of dog demons and ran toward the village.
“Holy crap! They can do that?”
They had become one pack.
The game system prompt appeared at the right time:
【A very bad situation has arisen. Your plan to incite dog demon infighting seems to have failed. One dog demon broke through during the battle and became the Dog Demon King, using force to suppress all the dog demons. The crisis your family faces seems even greater!】
“MMP!” Chen Han really swore out loud.
On one side the Fairy wanted to exterminate his clan, on the other side the dog demons had evolved a Dog Demon King who had subdued all the dog demons. How could his family be so disaster-prone?
The key issue: how was he supposed to keep farming dog demon meat after this?
