Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 109: Chapter 99 Attack on Spiritual Platform & Lici’s Hard Work (4ioo)_2

Fortunately, it had been almost twenty years since Wang Xiaohan’s last failed attempt to breakthrough. Even though the Spirit Platform Realm’s recovery was slow after the impact, it should be about complete by now.

Right now, Wang Xiaohan’s biggest problem was psychological issues.

“Old Ancestor Longyan.” Wang Shouzhe turned and bowed his hand, “I’ll need you to safeguard this place, I’ll step out and keep watch.”

Attempting to impact the Spirit Platform Realm was relatively easy to disturb, ultimately leading to unrest within one’s mind.

Reality was not like fantasy novels, where breakthroughs happened conveniently during battles. In reality, it was nonsense. Anyone who dared to attempt reaching the Spirit Platform Realm during a fight would surely die quicker.

Wang Shouzhe exited the secret refuge, the outside was already brightly lit.

As he kept watch outside, he began to feel somewhat idle. At this moment, he thought of his niece, Wang Licui. This girl had been toiling and suffering at the Prosperous Farm for nearly a month.

After a month of hardship and tribulations, the girl should have finally lost some of her impatience, and have a better understanding of the principle – the more you put in, the more you get out.

Enough, it was time to see her and perhaps bring her back.

She should have lost quite a bit of weight by now, shouldn’t she?

Speaking of which, Wang Shouzhe was genuinely fond of and caring towards his niece, unable to bear to see her suffer anymore.

Wang Shouzhe could already anticipate that when Licui saw him, she would emotionality jump into his arms, crying with remorse and say, “Uncle, I was wrong. I will definitely work hard in the future.”

And so on and so forth­

with this in mind, Wang Shouzhe’s steps became lighter and his mood much more cheerful.

Meanwhile.

Next to the Spirit Field of the farm, several young men from tenant farming families were busily at work in a pavilion. They had prepared fresh fruits, a grill, charcoal fire, quality fish, chicken legs, chicken wings, pork belly, vegetables, and other ingredients.

At the same time, they were skillfully grilling these ingredients, with some delicious smelling food ready to eat.

At this moment.

A young lady walked in, her eyes haughty and prudish, scanning everyone before saying, “Has the chicken legs and wings been marinated yet? You all know how picky the young miss can be, not a single mistake can be made.”

“Miss Wang, everything has been marinated.” A young man replied respectfully, “As per your instructions, this time we’re using top-grade smokeless charcoal. The salt we used is also top-grade, along with culinary wine, cumin, hot pepper, and other condiments.”

Just then.

A voice from outside announced, “Miss Licui has arrived.”

Immediately, the young men and women inside the pavilion all put on solemn expressions, straightened their posture, and prepared to greet the guest.

Two young men carried a Taishi Chair into the pavilion, with a girl sitting on it. She had some baby fat, and was carrying around a big cat with patches of white fur.

This girl was none other than Wang Licui, who had been sent here to the farm. After smelling the aroma of the barbecued food, her spirits immediately lifted, picking and choosing from all the food with a critical eye.

“Firstly, bring me two chicken legs, five chicken wings and half a pound of pork belly to satiate my hunger.” She nonchalantly issued her command, “And for my cat, Hua Hua, prepare extra pork belly.”

“Yes, Miss.”

One by one, the delicious barbecued food was served. Wang Licui languidly laid on the Taishi Chair, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a chicken wing in the other, savouring it with gusto.

Her cat, on the other hand, roared and pounced on the plate full of pork belly, eating with fierce bites.

It was true what they said – pets resemble their owners. The big fat cat was plump and robust, its round body waddling around aggressively while gobbling up the barbecued pork.

“Very good, now bring me five more chicken legs.”

“Young Miss, take your time eating, no one is rushing you.” The young woman surnamed Wang massaged her shoulders while advising. “Eating too fast will be hard on your stomach.”

Wang Licui gorged on the food, unaware that Wang Shouzhe was standing outside the straw hut. He was so livid that steam may as well be coming off of him.

“Hmm, Wang Shouzhe, you’re still too naive.” Wang Shouzhe could feel his body shaking, his face twitching uncontrollably.

Where was the promise of laborious work and breaking a sweat?

Wasn’t she supposed to study diligently under the moonlight?

Wang Licui!

Ha, to think your Fourth Uncle dotes on you so much. Just as Wang Shouzhe was about to march out and grab her ear, planning to send her to the mine of the Gongsun Clan to “reform”,

Suddenly.

A young man approached and flattered her, “Young Miss, why not attend to the spirit rats in the fields while you eat. As you know, our White Jade Spiritual Rice is at the crucial stage of filling. If the spirit rats wreak havoc for a little longer, it might decrease the yield.”

Spirit rats?

Wang Shouzhe stopped in his tracks.

Spirit rats are the number one enemy of the spirit fields. Unlike common fierce beasts with gigantic bodies that are hard to hide, these spirit rats are elusive. Wherever there are spirit fields, spirit rats will appear, known for their gluttony and massive appetites.

In the past, the spirit fields of the Wang family were always ravaged by spirit rats, resulting in varying degrees of decrease in yield. Even Wang Xiaohan, who has a wealth of knowledge and whose cultivation base reached the peak of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, didn’t have a good solution for the spirit rats.

Despite their efforts to capture them, they could only manage to barely control them. The spirit rats are petite and incredibly swift, coming and going in groups, their nests concealed and connecting in all directions. Neither fumigation nor flooding could deal with them.

Wang Shouzhe began to wonder. Could it be that Licui had a way to deal with spirit rats? Using her tubby pet cat?

“Yeah, Hua Hua, get them.” Wang Licui knew the importance of spirit rice. After all, it was their business. She immediately instructed the big cat.

“Roar.” The big cat was enjoying its meal and wasn’t willing to heed her call, it roared in annoyance.

“Wang Licui can’t even control you, huh?” Wang Licui announced coldly, “You won’t catch the spirit rats? Fine. Then calculate everything you ate and make it up to me in Qian Gold. People, take away Hua Hua’s pork.”

Someone obeyed her command and took away the basin.

The poor big cat, where could it find Qian Gold to buy back its freedom? Its face immediately filled with regret, and it roared, plunging into the spirit fields. Its speed was astonishing, like a gust of wind ten when running.

Suddenly, the spirit rats in the field began chirping and scattering in all directions.

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe was stunned.

Wasn’t this thing called Hua Hua just a cat? It was obviously a cub of a tiger­like fierce beast!

Meticulously learning and reciting the Beast Atlas is essential for disciples of the Wang family. After recalling it slightly, Wang Shouzhe could only determine that it was a cub of some kind of common tiger-like fierce beasts.

Because most tiger-like fierce beasts look very similar in their childhood, it’s hard to distinguish. But regardless of what type of tiger-like fierce beast they are, once they grow up, they would at least reach Level Three!

A Level Three fierce beast! Equivalent to a human Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator.

What kind of a creature was this Wang Licui? She had even raised a fierce beast tiger cub! Where did she get it from? How did she tame it… Moreover, since when did a fierce beast tiger cub start catching spirit rats?

While Wang Shouzhe was in utter chaos,

Hua Hua had already finished her job. The spirit rats it bit to death, all dragged out, neatly aligned in a row. Among them, the largest spirit rat was almost one to two pounds in weight, plump and fat.

Unlike common rats, spirit rats that only eat spirit rice are very clean, and their meat is soft, fresh, and full of vitality. They are a very delicious and nourishing Spirit Food.

“Roar!” The little fierce beast roared menacingly, demonstrating to the humans that they were supposed to cook the spirit rats for it.

“Hold on!” Wang Licui lazily walked over, saying, “According to the principle of dividing war spoils, we share half and half.”

Then, she divided very fairly.

“You get one, I get one. I get one, I get one, you get one.”

And then the ten spirit rats were divided into two piles. She ended up with seven in her pile. While the little fierce beast Hua Hua only got three, and they were all skinny spirit rats.

The little fierce beast, Hua Hua, scratched its head in puzzlement. Something didn’t seem right, but it couldn’t figure out what. Forget it, first roast and eat them. Humans, hurry up!

Then, Wang Licui put her “half” of the war spoils into her bag, smiling smugly, “Fourth Uncle’s words were right, Nine Chapter Arithmetic is indeed very useful.”

Such shameless words left Wang Shouzhe shocked!

Could this niece of his be any more shameless?
