Chapter 1167: A great harvest
" What in the world is this?" Ye Liu gasped in awe as he looked at the small garden that was growing in the middle of the two cliffs, if he hadn't seen with his own eyes he would have thought that he was dreaming. There were not only many trees growing in the middle of the cliff but there were also a few gold coins and whatnot lying on the ground.
Even Fang Chi was stunned. He looked at the half-grown trees that were wilting a little and then pursed his lips before saying, " Their growth is stunted because they did not get the right amount of water and sunlight. It's a pity, I think we could have brought them up with us."
" We are bringing them," the second Fang Chi finished speaking Yu Dong interrupted him causing the two mers to look at her with confusion. These plants were dead, what was the point of bringing them up? What the two of them did not know was that Yu Dong was confident about breathing life into these trees what was more, these trees were actually apple, peach and mango trees.
And just not any trees but the ones that were actually brought and offered in the imperial family's banquet.
Just this thought alone made Yu Dong certain that the quality of these fruits must be excellent. How could she leave these trees alone?
Her eyes flickered around as she looked at the cave, where she found a chunky tree in the corner of the cave. She narrowed her eyes and then walked over to the tree when suddenly,
Hiss.
The sound of snake hissing echoed in the cave causing the mercenaries and the two mers to stiffen at the same time. They all looked at Yu Dong who was now standing still with a large black snake with red spots on its scales. Though no one knew what kind of snake was it, they knew one thing and that was ——
As long as it was colourful it was poisonous!
" Dong Dong, be careful!" Fang Chi cried in fright while Ye Liu looked around for a dagger. He was going to deal with this snake before it attacked Yu Dong but before he could make a move, Yu Dong hissed right back at the snake.
Ye Liu: "…"
Fang Chi: "…"
The mercenaries: "…."
What kind of technique was this to get rid of a snake? Was she trying to be funny or something of the sort?
" Get out of the way, I will deal——" Ye Liu stepped forward wanting to deal with the snake but the second he stepped forward he watched the snake shrink its neck and then slither back into a small hole that was at the corner of the cave.
The mercenaries: !!!
This woman could even scare a snake away? Just how terribly scary was she? She actually sent a snake packing!
The mercenaries were not the only ones who were stupefied. The two mers were stunned as well. To think that a snake would run away when their wife hissed at it threateningly, with such a piece of information what were they supposed to think? That their wife was much more dangerous than a poisonous snake?
' It's a good thing that I married her,' Fang Chi thought in his head.
On the other hand, Ye Liu had completely opposite thoughts in his head. ' I need to train more,' he muttered in his head.
Yu Dong did not know that she had left a scar on the hearts of her husbands as they watched her scare a snake away. In fact, she was so excited after seeing the chunky tree, that she did not even care about anything else.
She walked over to the tree and looked at the trunk that was covered with rotten cocoa fruits and cheered up inwardly. Sure enough, if there was guarana how could there not be cocoa?
Most probably the imperial family and the rest of the people did not understand how to raise these plants and they ended up becoming especially expensive but with her skills, there was nothing that Yu Dong needed to worry about!
Her spiritual energy would be able to not only revive these plants but she would also be able to raise them into full-grown trees where they would bear wonderful fruits!
Yu Dong turned around and looked at her husbands before saying, " This is a jackpot! Chi makes sure that you take the trees out carefully and don't harm their roots and Liu make sure that Chi stays safe, if there is anything that is hiding behind the boulder or grass just kill it without giving it a chance to survive.
But if you face something that you cannot handle just ask me, and I will deal with it," She then turned to look at the mercenaries and ordered, " Take the trees out of the cliff without damaging them. If you dare to ruin our hard work, I will break your necks."
The mercenaries all looked at Yu Dong with pursed lips. They wanted to tell her that there was no need for her to be so blatantly biased but they did not dare to make a sound.
" Yes!" What a joke if they dared to say something against her, Yu Dong would bury them here in this cave along with these dead trees.
Fang Chi nodded with determination as well, he took out his gardening tools and then started to clean the ground while making sure that the roots of the trees were unaffected. Ye Liu on the other hand kept a close eye on Fang Chi who was focused, every time something made a noise or the grass rustled, he would take out a dagger and then throw it at the thing that was making the noise.
Just like that, he ended up hunting three plump rabbits, a small quail and a snake.
Ye Lou looked at the pile of wild game that he had hunted and proudly announced, " You see that? We are going to have rabbit meat tonight!"
