EBE Chapter 82 Care
Chapter 82 Care
On a bright and sunny morning, the quaint little town was gently shrouded in a thin mist.
On the cobblestone streets, the occasional crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs in the distance broke the tranquility of the early morning.
On both sides of the street are rows of houses with blue bricks and gray tiles, with red lanterns hanging under the eaves, swaying gently in the breeze.
In the distance, a majestic ancient city wall comes into view, with its towering arrow towers and gate towers standing tall, as if telling the story of past glory and vicissitudes.
Beneath the city walls, the moat shimmered, its waters crystal clear, with a few small boats occasionally gliding by, leaving ripples in their wake.
The town's market began to bustle with activity, as vendors pushed their carts and called out their wares.
There are vendors selling fresh vegetables, steaming hot buns, and all sorts of handicrafts.
People dressed in coarse cloth, their faces beaming with simple smiles, bargained and selected the items they needed at the market.
Not far away, an ancient temple sits in a grove of trees, with wisps of incense rising and melodious bells ringing, creating a sense of tranquility and peace.
In front of the temple, a group of children chased and played, their laughter echoing in the air.
If Yun Dan were to see such an ancient scene, I wonder if she would find it full of charm and allure?
In the mysterious and beautiful city of Illusion, the people of Su Family Village began a brand new chapter in their lives.
After a period of adjustment, the villagers gradually integrated into this fantastical city, but they still retained the simplicity and diligence they had in Sujia Village.
Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierce through the thin mist and illuminate every corner of the Illusionary Spirit City, the villagers of Su Family Village begin their busy day.
As usual, they picked up their hoes, went to the fields, and began to cultivate the land.
The land of Phantom City is fertile and magical; no matter what crop is planted, an unexpected harvest can be obtained.
The villagers looked at the lush green rice paddies, their hearts filled with hope and joy.
Besides farming, the villagers also continue another tradition from their time in Sujia Village—collecting tree sap.
They knew that the tree oil could be used to make soap in the future, adding convenience to their lives.
So they traversed the forests outside the city of Phantom Spirit, carefully collecting every drop of precious tree sap.
The villagers of Sujia Village have also demonstrated their ingenuity in charcoal making.
They utilize the abundant timber resources of Phantom City to transform timber into charcoal through a series of complex processes.
These charcoal pieces can be used not only for heating and cooking, but also as materials for making certain special items.
As night falls, the villagers gather around the campfire, sharing the day's harvest and joy. The warmth and light of the charcoal become their most cherished memories.
In the City of Illusions, the villagers of Su Family Village also encountered many new residents.
They come from different lives, but they share a common beautiful aspiration and do the same things every day.
The lives of ordinary people in Ling Kingdom were still quite difficult. Although there was no famine, the land and grain were controlled by landlords.
It seems that no matter who is the emperor, these things remain unchanged.
The people of Sujia Village don't have much land, only five mu per person, and they all have to cultivate the land themselves. The Spirit King also sent people to help them, to teach the farmers how to make the land more fertile.
It's also Xiaoya's fault for not teaching them knowledge. Can such advanced technology be taught so easily?
I can teach you, but it will cost extra.
Although they were busy during this period, the people of Sujia Village felt more at ease.
Winter is approaching, and the fields have been fertilized; they will be ready for planting next year.
On this day, King Ling suddenly visited, accompanied only by a few people.
As the Spirit King stepped lightly into the courtyard of the Su Family Village in the Illusionary Spirit City, the entire courtyard seemed to be enveloped in a mysterious and solemn aura.
His arrival instantly silenced the once lively courtyard. Everyone stopped what they were doing and all eyes were on him.
The King of Spirits smiled, his eyes revealing warmth and care.
"Greetings, Spirit King!" the crowd knelt and bowed.
"No need for such formalities, please rise."
King Ling smiled and nodded, greeting everyone kindly.
"I have come here to inquire about your lives. Are the people of Su Family Village settling in well in this Illusionary Spirit City? Are there any difficulties you need to resolve?"
The villagers of Sujia Village expressed their gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, King Ling. We are living very well here." The villagers nodded in agreement, indicating that they were quite used to living here.
King Ling then asked everyone with concern, "Is there anything you find wrong with the land I allocated to you? Is it enough to sustain your livelihood?"
The hunter replied, “Thank you, King Spirit. After this period of plowing, the fields will be ready for planting next year.”
"Yes, your method of making the land fertile so quickly is truly amazing. Normally, it would take two or three years to cultivate wasteland, but you can sow seeds in just six months."
"It's all thanks to Xiaoya's teachings that our fields have become fertile so quickly," the hunter replied.
"Okay, remember to let me know if you encounter any difficulties. Winter is coming, everyone should take good care of themselves and stay warm."
"Thank you for your kindness, King Ling."
Then King Ling asked them what their plans were next.
Daya: "King Ling, everything is arranged now. We just need to wait for next year's planting. For now, we only plan to practice martial arts."
Shanzi chimed in, "Yes, we believe that only by becoming stronger can we better protect our families and villages."
"Hmm, I heard last time that you were planning to join the army, is that right?"
Upon hearing what the Spirit King said, Xiaoyue immediately chimed in.
"Your Majesty, we have no intention of joining the army at the moment. Xiaoman was just curious about whether Sister Yang was an officer and asked her about it."
Xiao Lie said firmly, "Spirit King, we only want to focus on cultivation right now, and then we want to go to the Qin Kingdom to take revenge on those shadowy men in black."
Afu nodded: "We don't want to join the army, we just want to practice our martial arts."
"That's what we think too," everyone echoed the Spirit King.
Xiaoman's mind was in turmoil. He thought to himself, "Actually, I was thinking of going there and becoming a general like Zhao Zilong."
But everyone was saying the same thing, so I had no choice but to follow suit.
The Spirit King asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong? Joining the army is an extremely important way of cultivation."
Through military training, one can not only improve their own strength but also protect innocent civilians. Isn't that a wonderful thing?
Xiaoyue said helplessly, "Spirit King, our primary goal right now is simply to cultivate properly and continuously improve our martial arts skills."
Only in this way can we avenge the blood feud in Sujia Village and seek justice for our deceased loved ones.
Xiaoyue thought to herself, "Until we find Xiaoya, we can't join the army."
The group looked at each other in silence for a moment.
Afu slowly said, "Yes, we should indeed focus our energy on martial arts training for now. We can consider other things when we are strong enough."
King Ling sighed helplessly. He had originally planned to nurture them and let them grow up to protect the Ling Kingdom together.
Unexpectedly, they all said the same thing. Well, dealing with the Shadow Organization can be considered as sharing some of the burden for the Spirit Kingdom.
"Alright then, since you've both made such a firm decision, I won't force you any further."
I simply hope that you can remember your original aspirations and strive to cultivate yourselves.
Everyone nodded and said in unison, "Thank you, King Ling! We will remember this forever."
Looking at everyone, a hint of relief flashed in the King's eyes. He continued, "Remember, no matter what difficulties and obstacles you may encounter in the future, as long as you remain united and work together, you will overcome them."
Then no difficulty can stop you from moving forward, and you will surely overcome all challenges.
King Ling chatted with the others for a while longer before getting up to leave.
Everyone felt a little disappointed and wanted to persuade the Spirit King to stay and have a meal together to express their gratitude.
Unfortunately, due to his busy schedule, King Ling had to politely decline everyone's invitations. He said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I have a lot of things to take care of. I'll definitely come to meet you all again next time."
Although everyone was somewhat disappointed, they understood the Spirit King's situation and saw him off. They secretly resolved to cultivate diligently and live up to the Spirit King's expectations.
