It was that night when Li Boyang returned ho, his face exhausted.
Chen Yun still had warm food prepared for him, as if it had just co out of the pot.
"Oh, Big Girl has co to scrounge for food too!"
Inviting Li Boyang to sit down, Chen Yun finally teasingly looked towards the door at the sneaky Li Jingshu.
"Hehe..."
Letting out an awkward laugh, Li Jingshu, knowing she was in the wrong, didn't dare to speak directly.
She instead pretended to play with the Huo Dou puppies while cautiously glancing at Li Boyang from the corner of her eye.
"Alright, stop putting on that pitiful act..."
Without needing Li Boyang to say a word, Chen Yun pulled her over with a smile.
"When has your little brother ever truly been mad at you?"
"Besides, you actually saved soone this ti, co eat with us!"
Forcefully seating Li Jingshu across from Li Boyang, Chen Yun's words finally made him relent and complain.
"Mom, she really got Qiwa into trouble this ti..."
"I clearly taught her how to use the Fur Robe, but she still forgot!"
"And if I hadn't co back in ti, she might have kept covering for that Qiwa..."
Before Li Boyang could finish, Chen Yun imdiately shot him a glare.
"I said, enough!"
"Now, right now, eat your al. There's nothing more important than eating!"
"You've both been hungry all day, so once you're ho, you must listen to !"
Helplessly exchanging a glance, Li Boyang and Li Jingshu finally chose to behave obediently.
Just as Chen Yun said, in this house, during alti, she was in charge.
Even if Li Yu, the head of the family, ca ho, he would have to listen to Chen Yun.
"Mom, I brought back so more spiders this ti..."
Only after confirming that Chen Yun had cald down did Li Boyang dare to cautiously open his palm, letting a few small spiders crawl out from his sleeve.
"New spiders?"
Looking at the small spiders with surprise, Chen Yun couldn't help but complain.
"So you still do rember them!"
"The few nests of spiders in the village have beco quite thin from spinning silk constantly these days. It pains to see it."
Smiling, listening to Chen Yun's complaints, Li Boyang finally let go of all his burdens and expectations.
"So you see, that's why I brought these new spiders!"
"These spiders are a new breed, unlike those before that needed at to produce silk."
"To feed them, you just need to make fiber from plants, no need for at."
Hearing this, Chen Yun's face was filled with even more amazent.
"Spiders that don't eat at? Well, that's quite rare?"
"And what about the silk they produce? How's the quality? Can it be used to sew waterproof bags?"
At these words, Li Boyang, already prepared, pulled out a bundle of silk thread and handed it to Chen Yun.
"Although the quality isn't as good as those at-eating spiders, it's more than enough for sewing bags..."
"Most importantly, these spiders produce much more silk than the at-eating ones, which can completely support the operation of the village's looms."
...........................
At the frontline of the flood disaster, near the familiar dike.
Lord Tingyao was half-subrged in the floodwaters, diligently helping the mountain people build the foundation.
With his strength, thick wooden stakes were driven forcefully into the riverbed beneath the rapid current.
Then, the mountain people, who were already prepared, filled the gaps with sandbags, stones, and mud, finishing off with a mix of ash and cent.
The foundations laid in this manner were not as strong as real concrete, but they were much stronger than the initial dike.
During this process, Li Yu, holding the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," continually tracked the water veins and mountain formations nearby, saving Lord Tingyao a lot of effort.
The reason for Lord Tingyao's proactiveness was actually quite simple.
For every section of the dike construction completed, Li Yu would give him a Qi Blood Pill.
With such incentive, it would be abnormal for Lord Tingyao not to be proactive.
He often complained that if Qiwa had done this earlier, he wouldn't have been slacking off for so long.
During this process, Li Yu clearly saw the Qi and blood in Lord Tingyao's body transform into a substantial fla, heating the surroundings to an extre temperature.
Thus, Li Yu truly felt for the first ti the extraordinary effects of the Qi Blood Pill.
Into the late night, the mountain people, unable to see anything clearly, finally stopped the dike construction, leaving only a few people to keep watch.
Originally, Li Yu also wanted to stand guard.
However, under the continued insistence of everyone, he could only choose to return to the village to rest.
"Humans... really are difficult creatures to understand."
With a complex expression, Lord Tingyao watched the mountain people keeping watch.
He felt as if he had returned to a thousand years ago.
However, compared to the Huai River Witch from a thousand years ago, this Mountain Prophet displayed much more remarkable skills and wisdom.
Lord Tingyao didn't understand the saying, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifeti."
But he could see that Li Boyang did better than the Huai River Witch, with even more sophisticated thods.
Apart from the Qi Blood Pills he had just consud.
Li Boyang hadn't showcased too many extraordinary thods but successfully ignited the village's survival instincts and proactive spirit.
The shock from such unity and collective effort.
Was far more impressive than the Huai River Witch's lone path-clearing a thousand years ago.
"If you say humans are difficult to understand, you're not any easier to understand than they are."
Without a sound, an inconspicuous water snake suddenly spiraled around Lord Tingyao's body with the flow of water.
"Lord Yashui? You dare to appear here?"
Lowering his head in slight surprise, Lord Tingyao looked at the water snake on his body and asked.
"That Mountain Prophet is not the sa as the Huai River Witch..."
"You've spilled too much of the mountain people's blood on your hands; he won't spare you."
Lord Yashui was once the God of Yajiang, a typical Barbaric Water God.
Shortly after escaping from Ghost God Cliff, Lord Yashui used storms and floods to drown several mountain villages.
If it weren't for Li Family Village's tily rescue, those villages would have been wiped out.
"What is there to fear?"
"That Mountain Prophet is too domineering and favors humans excessively, hardly giving us gods any way to survive."
"Look at you, once the illustrious God of Tingyao, now reduced to a well-trained house dog, hardly resembling your forr self."
The question made Lord Tingyao frown, his voice imdiately turning cold.
"Are you here to provoke on purpose?"
