"Master, are those people really not going to post Little Light's photo online?" Xiao Ling and Xiao Lingyu were communicating with their minds.
Xiao Lingyu took the scissors and cut off the extra branches and peach blossoms from the fruit tree saplings. Then, she placed the peach blossom petals in the basket.
These peach blossom petals could be used to brew peach blossom wine.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "They will definitely post it, and they will even mention it on the forum."
Xiao Ling immediately asked in puzzlement, "If that's the case, then why did Master go through all that trouble?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Of course, it's to join their forum. I actually just want to blend in."
This matter of the Little Cattle King was neither big nor small, but she had to be on guard and didn't dare to be careless because this could potentially expose her space. Therefore, she sneaked into this forum so that she could keep tabs on the situation.
Xiao Ling didn't quite understand her master's intentions, so he didn't probe further.
Then, he went off to play alone... no wait, with Xiao Tong.
Xiao Ling asked Xiao Tong, "Little Master, Master said that she wanted to join those people's forum. Why?"
Xiao Tong, who was meditating and cultivating, opened his eyes when he heard Xiao Ling. He looked at Xiao Ling and said, "With my mother's intelligence, of course, she wanted to monitor the situation in their forum at all times."
Xiao Tong had lived in this human world, and he had survived in the cultivation world for thousands of years. When he returned here, his spiritual sense was very powerful. Although he was only six months old, his knowledge of technology was not worse than an adult.
Xiao Ling was confused, "Why is that?"
Xiao Tong rolled his eyes, "Isn't it obvious? It's to protect Little Light and to protect the family.
"A clever calf won't raise too much attention, but that calf has special importance in Taoyuan Village. If those people don't leave immediately, they will discover it.
"Of course, it might be nothing. But if those people connected the dots, then it could be dangerous." Xiao Tong saw how confused Xiao Ling was, and he sighed, "Never mind. You're not human, so you won't understand this. But what you need to understand now is that mom is doing this for you. She is protecting you. She doesn't want you to be exposed."
"..." Xiao Ling said with a half-understanding tone, "What you mean is that someone might discover my existence and then get greedy and want to kidnap me, right?"
When Xiao Tong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He nodded like a satisfied teacher. "You're quite clever, after all. You understand it finally."
Xiao Ling said in confusion again, "But little master, even if other people kidnap me, they can't enter this space. It's pointless."
"..." Xiao Tong said helplessly. "Forget it. I have to keep on cultivating. Once I reach a certain level, there's no need for mother to be afraid of exposure anymore. At the same time, I can protect a silly kid like you."
Xiao Ling, "..." Was he silly? Why would his little master keep calling him silly?
When Xiao Ling saw his little master reenter the state of cultivation, Xiao Ling's eyes widened. He said with a pleasantly surprised expression, "Little master, you've cultivated to the first level of the Qi refinement realm! This is too fast!"
Xiao Ling was familiar with the cultivation journey. Even the most talented had to start with the Qi refinement realm. However, even the most talented child in the heavens wouldn't cultivate as fast as his little master. Heaven even had more abundant spirit energy than the farming space!
Xiao Tong had only been cultivating for a few days, and he had already reached the first level of the Qi refinement realm.
When Xiao Tong heard Xiao Ling, he opened his eyes again, held his chin, tilted his head, and said to Xiao Ling, "I really have to thank you. "If it weren't for the abundant spiritual energy in your space, I don't know I'd reach the first level of the Qi refinement realm when I'm outside. In fact, I don't think I'd be able to cultivate at all."
Xiao Ling said happily, "As long as it's helpful to Little Master." At this point, Xiao Ling thought of a question and said, "Little Master, can master cultivate?"
Xiao Tong thought for a moment and said, "I've tested mother's aptitude. She has pure earth and water spiritual roots."
"Master has double spiritual roots?!" Xiao Ling said happily, "Master is very talented! Can she cultivate?"
Xiao Tong nodded. "Yes, she can. However, cultivating dual spiritual roots is very hard. It is not twice as hard but ten times as hard when compared to normal cultivation."
Xiao Ling asked, "But little master, don't you have five spirit roots? That should be harder to cultivate. It will require a lot of Qi. But now, you've reached the first realm of Qi refinement stage already."
Xiao Tong shook his head and said, "I'm different. First, I used to be a cultivator. My spiritual sense is already very powerful, so I don't need to rely on spirit energy that much. Second, I have the five elemental spirits. They can allow me to cultivate with half the effort."
Xiao Ling exclaimed, "Little Master, you're amazing. You're supposed to be useless with five spirit roots, but you gained the favor of the five elemental spirits! Are you sure you're not the son of Heaven?"
Xiao Tong, "..." Who is he calling useless? Does he know the art of conversation? Having five spirit roots is harder to cultivate, but it's not impossible.
Xiao Tong continued, "Mom won't be able to cultivate based on the energy in this space alone. Instead of disappointing her, it's better to let her be an ordinary person and grow vegetables and sell vegetables in peace."
Xiao Ling immediately fell silent.
Indeed, an ordinary person needed sufficient spiritual Qi to cultivate. His space contained Qi but it wasn't enough for an ordinary person to cultivate. Rather than giving people hope, it was better to cut off this kind of hope at the beginning to prevent it from turning into despair later on.
A moment later, Xiao Ling said, "Little Master, then you have to cultivate well. As long as your cultivation has reached the second level of Qi refinement, you're equivalent to a god in this space and time." A person at the second level of the Qi refinement realm could turn the world with a flip of his hand. He would be invulnerable to all modern weapons.
Xiao Tong curled his lips and said, "I know!"
...
After playing on the mountain for a day, the visitors saw that the sky was already dark. Due to safety issues, Xiao Lingyu requested them to leave the mountain through the broadcast system. The visitors obliged.
After leaving the mountain, they directly went to find Xiao Lingyu.
"Boss Xiao, this place is too beautiful. There are flowers everywhere. It's simply a Fairyland on Earth."
"Yes, many poems should be based on this place!"
The group of visitors surrounded Xiao Lingyu and chatted about what they had seen. Their expressions were filled with excitement.
"I really want to stay here permanently," someone said, "The air here is fresh, and nature is bountiful. It's really a good place to settle down."
At this moment, Li Jian came over and asked, "Boss Xiao, we want to stay here tonight. Can you arrange food and accommodation for us? Don't worry. We won't stay for free. We will pay." Li Jian pointed at the 20 or so people around him.
Xiao Lingyu frowned and asked, "Do you have any requirements for food and accommodation?"
Li Jian said, "As long as it's not too dirty, it's fine." He didn't mind staying in a farmer's house, but he couldn't do it if it was too dirty.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the time and said, "It's already a little late. It doesn't seem right to ask the villagers to tidy up their rooms now. How about this? My company has an employee dormitory that can accommodate 10 to 20 people. If you don't mind, you can stay there. Of course, if you need a place with a good environment, you can choose to go to a hotel in Xing Yin county. We don't have a hotel in Xing An town."
Hearing that, An Xiaohui asked in surprise, "Boss Xiao, do you own a company?" She thought Xiao Lingyu only contracted the mountains.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "That's right. I registered a company in Taoyuan Village. It will feature the village. The company scope combines agriculture, marketing, and tourism."
An Xiaohui's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to say something, someone immediately smiled and said, "Boss Xiao, so you plan to turn this place into an agricultural tourist spot. That's a good plan. It will definitely attract a lot of people."
Regardless of whether the business would be good in the future or not, it didn't hurt to say some good news.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I hope you're right. If you don't mind, I'll take you to my company's dormitory to have a look now."
"Thank you, boss Xiao."
"As for the food, if you don't mind, I can only make something simple for you."
"We don't mind."
