Chapter 1921: Chapter 1920: Trouble and the Dead Horses
He Shitou was sweating profusely while busy in the Demon Enclosure.
His ho was quite large.
Speaking of a ho, it was actually just a circle of large stones forming a fence.
Inside the fence, there were more than a dozen enclosures.
He raised monster pets, food, and mounts separately.
It’s important to know not all these monster beasts belonged to him; many were entrusted here by others.
These were his monthly economic source.
It’s safe to say that apart from those cultivating the Way of Inquiry, ordinary people in the Heavenly Being race didn’t live well.
Basically, they managed not to starve.
Life was very hard.
Xu Zii watched with great interest.
Currently, his body couldn’t move, and living quietly away from the mundane world in the Heavenly Being race for a while wasn’t a bad idea.
“Ah!”
A shout from He Shitou could be heard.
While taking care of a monster beast, it beca extrely violent and kicked him flying.
He Shitou rolled several tis on the ground before finally stabilizing himself.
He stood up, patted the dust off his body, as if nothing had happened.
He Shitou was also a cultivator.
However, his level was very low, akin to a Qi-Refining Cultivator who just started on the path of cultivation.
Xu Zii had not seen anyone this weak in years.
“Are you alright?” Xu Zii asked.
“I’m fine, I’m used to it,” He Shitou laughed.
“These monster beasts are unruly and kicking people is common.”
“If they’re unruly, just beat them up,” Xu Zii laughed.
“That won’t do, they’re entrusted by others, and I can’t afford to pay for any damages,” He Shitou quickly shook his head.
He looked up at the noon sun.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he said, “Brother Xu, are you hungry? I’ll go make so food for you.”
In the past few days, He Shitou learned Xu Zii’s na.
Next to the demon enclosure
there were a few brick and tile houses.
Among them were the kitchen, resting rooms, and the like.
“I’m not hungry,” Xu Zii shook his head.
Looking at the monster beasts, he asked, “When you take care of these monster beasts, do you have any questions?
Maybe I can help you out.”
“Brother Xu understands monster beasts?” He Shitou’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled.
“I know a little,” Xu Zii nodded.
Hearing this, He Shitou was a bit excited.
He pushed Xu Zii’s wheelchair to one of the enclosures.
This enclosure housed three Great Thousand Skinny Horses.
These horses were spirit beasts, large in size, muscular legs, and ca in black and white.
It was apparent these horses could run fast and were excellent mounts.
But at this mont, these three Great Thousand Skinny Horses seed ill, lying down listlessly.
They wouldn’t eat or drink.
It seed they wouldn’t live much longer.
“Brother Xu, can you take a look at these Great Thousand Skinny Horses?
These horses are a special spirit breed from the Great Thousand Gorge, entrusted here by Blade Guest Xu,” He Shitou said.
“Initially, all three horses were fine.
But recently, they fell ill, refusing food and drink.
If Blade Guest Xu cos for them in a few days, what should I do!”
Xu Zii looked at the horses and smiled slightly.
He asked, “Has anyone been to your ho recently?”
“Apart from Sister Yu, no one else,” He Shitou shook his head.
“These Great Thousand Skinny Horses have been poisoned,” Xu Zii said honestly.
“Poi… Poisoned?” He Shitou was taken aback.
“I don’t usually make enemies, so who would poison them?”
“That’s sothing I don’t know,” Xu Zii shook his head.
These horses had been poisoned for a while, maybe even before he was in a coma.
Then, Xu Zii wrote a prescription.
He had He Shitou gather the ingredients.
Within a few days, the horses recovered, beca spirited, and had a big appetite.
He Shitou was relieved.
One morning, a loud shout ca from outside the door.
“He Shitou, how are my Great Thousand Skinny Horses doing?”
As soon as the words fell, a group of people walked in.
He Shitou quickly got up to greet them, led by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had two swords strapped on his back.
He was full of vigor, showing he had killed quite a bit.
“Blade Guest Xu, the horses are fine,” He Shitou replied.
“Really?” Blade Guest Xu frowned slightly.
Then smiled, “Then take to see them. If there’s any problem, don’t bla for being rude.”
The group went to the horse enclosure.
The three Great Thousand Skinny Horses were spirited.
The group had different expressions.
Blade Guest Xu smiled and said, “Not bad, not bad.”
“Are you here to pick up the horses, Blade Guest Xu?” He Shitou asked.
“No rush; let them stay a few more days. I just happened to be passing by,” Blade Guest Xu smiled.
After a brief exchange, they left.
“There’s sothing off about that man,” Xu Zii said to He Shitou after Blade Guest Xu left.
“Brother Xu, are you saying the one who poisoned them was possibly him?” He Shitou, though simple-minded, wasn’t stupid and quickly caught on.
“I don’t know, but sothing is definitely off.”
Xu Zii said.
“If it was just to see the horses, why bring such a big group?
Also, when they saw the horses were fine, their expressions were quite surprised.”
“Did you offend Blade Guest Xu?”
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, He Shitou pondered for a mont, finally sighing, “Probably because of Sister Yu.”
“ng Yuqing?” Xu Zii asked.
He knew the girl too; ng Yuqing often ca here these days, frequently bringing food, and the two took care of him together.
“It’s a bit complicated,” He Shitou said.
“Then let’s keep it brief.”
“Blade Guest Xu’s son likes Sister Yu, but she and I have mutual feelings for each other,” He Shitou succinctly explained.
Xu Zii smiled.
“Are you two couples?”
“Not yet. Sister Yu’s family is not well off, and she’s afraid of being a burden to , so our relationship is still quite delicate,” He Shitou shook his head.
Xu Zii closed his eyes slightly.
He pondered that since these two saved him, he might as well give them a chance.
Although his strength hadn’t fully recovered, he could still dominate within the Heavenly Being race.
The Holy Court had been severely damaged by him, so likely there wouldn’t be any issues for a while.
Although he didn’t have ti to inform Yao Pond in the end, he had obtained the legacy of the Ancient God Xuanming.
So there weren’t many regrets.
“Do you want to cultivate?” Xu Zii asked He Shitou.
“Cultivate…” He Shitou was taken aback.
He chuckled bitterly, “My aptitude is poor. I’ve cultivated for many years, consud a lot of Spirit Stones, and I’m still only at the ninth level of Qi-Refining.
Without significant opportunities, it’s hard to break through to the Reversion Void Realm in this lifeti.”
Every place has a different cultivation system, but they’re not much different.
