The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chapter 491: Chapter 487: Yellow-Haired Wild Man_1
 

Empress Lv was a bit displeased and glanced at the Emperor. Seeing his composed demeanor, she had no choice but to suppress her resentment and didn’t dare display her anger.

The Emperor sighed inwardly, knowing that he cannot force his young apprentice now.

From the moment this apprentice stepped into the grand hall, he felt as if he’d been shocked into submission. He couldn’t exude a hint of dignity in front of her.

He knew the reason.

His apprentice had been extraordinary since childhood, and now she was more imposing. Sometimes Zhou Wuchang wondered if she wanted the beautiful country, it would be a matter of the wave of her hand, and he couldn’t resist.

That was why he wanted the Crown Prince to marry Nuannuan as the Crown Princess Consort, so that the Crown Prince could stabilize the country in the future.

After being an Emperor for so many years, Zhou Wuchang had become open-minded. Although power is a good thing, longevity is what matters.

So, he decided to hand over the throne to his son to manage, and while he was still alive, he would learn the path of cultivation from the Jiang Family members, and then roam the world freely.

“Cough, let’s talk about it later. The reason I invited you two here is not just because of the children. I want to stay in your hometown for a while.”

Zhou Wuchang had already learned from the County Magistrate of Qinchuan County that many people had flocked to Dongchen Village in Chuanhe Town. It is said that people who stayed there for a long time had vigorous bodies, keen ears, and sharp eyes. He wanted to see what was going on.

Yingbao bowed obsequiously, “It is our honor that Your Majesty could visit. I will arrange a comfortable residence for you.”

Zhou Wuchang smiled and nodded.

Empress Lv wasn’t very happy. She said grudgingly, “Your Majesty, if you go live in the village, what about me? Do you expect all the palace consorts to go too?”

Zhou Wuchang said lightly, “You stay in the palace and manage the matters here. Comfort all the consorts in the palace. When I am well-rested, I will naturally come back. Besides, Wuyang is already capable of handling things on his own, with his teachers by his side. I don’t need to worry.”

“But…” Empress Lv looked at the Emperor resentfully and said petulantly, “I want to go with you.”

Zhou Wuchang frowned, “Do you mean it? There will be no one to manage affairs in the palace if you go. Have you thought about it?”

Empress Lv was startled and immediately said, “It is just that I worry about you. If you don’t want me to go, I won’t go.”

She regretted speaking in haste. If the Emperor really took her to the countryside, he would certainly have to select another consort to manage the palace. She didn’t want to lose the authority to manage the harem.

Zhou Wuchang saw through the disingenuousness of the Empress and sighed inwardly.

The women in the palace claimed to love him, the Emperor, but it was all fake. Nothing is more important than power.

He was already old and no longer sought love. No matter how beautiful or charming a woman is, she will ultimately grow ordinary with time.

He turned his head and said to his apprentice, “Yingbao, Wei Zhan, you can go back. Wait until August and I’ll go to Qinchuan County with you.”

Yingbao and Wei Zhan stood up and said goodbye to the two Saints.

As they left the gates of the Imperial City, Wei Zhan took his wife to the market to buy things.

They bought a lot of cloth, grains, and daily necessities, as well as quite a bit of salt, sugar, soybean paste, and spices.

They also purchased a lot of vegetable and fruit seeds.

“My lady, with these, we won’t have to worry about living in other places.” Wei Zhan and his wife might not need worldly food, but their parents and daughter do, so buying more wouldn’t hurt.

Yingbao was thoughtful, “Then let’s go dig some medicinal herbs.” The more species in the Divine Mansion, the faster it should evolve. She figured why not plant all the plants in the world in the Divine Mansion.

“It is too troublesome one by one. Just shovel a piece of sod directly in.” Wei Zhan said cheerfully.

Yingbao thought for a moment and nodded, “Then let’s find an unclaimed wilderness.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

So the two of them instantly moved a thousand miles away. Yingbao looked around and saw no humans. With a wave of her hand, a large piece of land disappeared.

After collecting this piece of sod and trees, she crushed a Spirit Stone and sprinkled it over the barren land.

Then Wei Zhan used the Eternal Spring Technique, and soon wild grass and seedlings sprouted on the bare land.

They gradually grew, and once they reached waist high, they stopped growing.

Wei Zhan and his wife looked at each other and smiled, then went to another place.

In less than two days, they traversed north and south, even crossed the ocean, and came to a strange land.

Much to their surprise, the primitive people with curly yellow hair all over their bodies saw them and started hurling their spears at them while gabbling.

Wei Zhan waved off the spears and with a touch of his hand, these people were immobilized on the ground.

Yingbao swept around and found that there were villages here and farms planting strange crops.

“These primitives are really strange. They have yellow fur all over, and blue eyes, like ghosts.” Wei Zhan looked at the squirming primitives in fascination, “They even don’t wear pants. Ah, my lady, don’t look.”

Yingbao walked into the crop field and collected a patch of crops in the face of the menacing gaze of the locals. Then she threw down a few sacks of wheat and rice, “These are for you. We will trade.”

Although the primitives didn’t understand what the black-haired woman was saying, they knew that the sacks were meant as compensation for them. They couldn’t help but pounce over, open the sacks and check.

Unfamiliar grain!

The primitives got angry, began yelling loudly, waving their fists in protest.

Yingbao sighed, took out an iron pot, crushed a handful of rice to remove the husks, then put the white rice into the pot with some water, covered the pot, and with a snap of her fingers, a flame ignited under the pot.

After a moment, a rich aroma wafted around.

All the primitives swallowed salivating at the sight of the pot.

One of them exclaimed out loud, “Witch! You must be a witch!”

Yingbao didn’t understand what they were saying, but seeing they didn’t mean harm, she ignored them.

Soon, the rice was cooked. Yingbao took off the lid, waved away the steam, and pointed to the rice, “You can come taste it.”

Despite their hesitation, the leader stepped forward and shoved a handful of rice into his mouth with his dirty hand.

After a bite, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed another handful of the still-hot rice and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, the others huddled over and quickly finished a pot of rice.

The smallest of them even picked up the rice grains from the bottom of the pot and stuffed them into his mouth.

After finishing the rice, the primitives looked at Yingbao and Wei Zhan with smiles on their faces and started to gesture excitedly.

Yingbao understood – they wanted to trade more crops with her for rice and wheat.

She then strolled around the farmland and took some crops that she had never seen before into her Divine Mansion. She also traded for some items from their homes.

When Wei Zhan saw the primitive people’s home, he couldn’t help but comment, “They actually live in burrows. Can this even be called a house?”

The houses were basically semi-underground, covered with tree branches and wild grass on top. There was no kitchen. A few stones piled together with a pot on top eatures cooked meals.

Of course, there were also houses made of stacked stones, which were windy and even exposed to light from the top.
