Because there were too many drunk people, the won had to spend a lot of effort just to settle them down. The inside and outside of the courtyard were a ss, and they could only wait until the next day to co and help.
Chu Xun naturally wouldn't force them. If people were willing to help, they helped; if not, there was nothing to say.
He himself was also dizzy from drinking. Fortunately, with the cultivation of the first layer of Qi Condensation, his physical fitness was much stronger than ordinary people, so he wasn't drunk into a puddle of mud.
Zhang Sanchun originally wanted to stay and take care of him, but was pulled away by Lin Qiaoxi.
"Today is their wedding night in the bridal chamber, wouldn't you be causing trouble if you stayed?"
Zhang Sanchun only then reacted, habitually scratching his scalp.
Huan'er was held in his arms. The family of three carefully closed the courtyard door and walked towards their ho.
Not walking far, Huan'er suddenly pointed to a spot on the side and shouted, "Father, look quickly, there are rabbits!"
Zhang Sanchun turned his head to look. Under the moonlight, he indeed saw several rabbits of different sizes hopping along the roadside.
He originally wanted to catch two to bring back for a good al, but was stopped by Lin Qiaoxi again.
"It's so late, you might bump into sothing and get hurt."
The family of three was completely unaware that in a low spot by the roadside, a pure white large snake, about ten feet long, was slithering forward.
The snake's head was slightly raised, its scarlet pupils watching the backs of the family of three, hissing and flicking its tongue, with no intention to attack.
A puffing sound ca from behind, and a toad hopped over.
Seemingly intimidated by the large snake, it stopped when it got near.
A hissing sound ca from the side. Another large green snake approached, with a small green and white snake, about a ter long, following beside it.
The three snakes only then continued to slither forward. Not long after, they arrived at the gate of Chu Xun's courtyard.
The toad behind them, several litters of rabbits, hundreds of voles, and the turtle all stopped, seemingly waiting for sothing.
Not long after, the sound of flapping wings ca from not far away.
A curtain-like black color briefly obscured the moonlight, and then dropped straight down.
The large white snake only then pushed open the courtyard door with its head and slithered into the courtyard.
Inside the house, Chu Xun stood in front of the bed, looking at the bride who had sat there without moving much all day.
Under the large red veil was a body trembling slightly from nervousness.
Chu Xun chuckled lightly and reached out to lift the red veil.
Zhang Anxiu raised her head, her face dark red, feeling even more like she was in a dream.
"Are you hungry? Eat sothing first?" Chu Xun asked.
Zhang Anxiu originally wanted to say she wasn't hungry, but her stomach let out a rumbling sound, instantly making her feel a burst of shyness.
Chu Xun smiled and pulled her up. Food and fine wine were left on the table.
Only after she was full and they drank the cross-cupped wine would this marriage be considered complete.
At this ti, a banging sound ca from outside, as if soone was knocking on the door.
Caw—
Caw—
The familiar cries sounded, and even Zhang Anxiu heard them, "It seems soone has co."
So late, who could be coming?
Chu Xun walked over and opened the door, and head-on he saw that white snake head reflecting bright light under the moonlight.
Zhang Anxiu also went over to take a look. What she saw before her eyes instantly left her stunned on the spot.
After reacting, she hurriedly pulled Chu Xun to retreat, "Brother Xun, run quickly!"
"Don't panic."
Chu Xun smiled and patted the back of her hand. Under Zhang Anxiu's horrified gaze, he reached out to touch the snake head in front of him.
"Brother Xun!" Zhang Anxiu was so scared her heart was about to jump into her throat. Such a large snake was unheard of and unseen.
About ten feet long, thicker than an arm, it could scare a person to death.
Especially those scarlet pupils, which looked extrely cold.
But after Chu Xun reached out his hand, not only did the large white snake not attack, it instead took the initiative to lean in and rubbed against his palm a few tis.
While hissing and flicking its tongue, the other large green snake also slithered up, holding sothing in its mouth.
The small green and white snake took the opportunity to slither up Chu Xun's leg, but was bitten on the tail by the large white snake and dragged back.
It twisted unhappily, but how could it break free.
Looking at the thing held in the large green snake's mouth, Chu Xun reached out to take it, "A gift for ?"
It was a river clam the size of a washbasin. Its outer shell was pure white like jade, with layers upon layers of patterns, extrely complex.
The two large snakes had slithered for hundreds of miles to find such a rare large clam, exhausting their strength to drag it back.
Not knowing if it sensed the special aura on Chu Xun's body, this giant river clam actually opened its outer shell automatically.
The tender clam at squird for a mont, bringing a faint exotic fragrance.
Subsequently, a white pearl comparable to the size of an egg was squeezed out.
Its surface glowed with a clear radiance like moonlight, circulating a warm halo under the night sky.
Dense water ripple patterns faintly appeared on the pearl's body. It felt slightly cool to the touch, but not freezing, instead carrying a trace of refreshing moisture.
Such a large pearl was rare in the world!
Regardless of its size, shape, or even the faint exotic fragrance contained within it.
Zhang Anxiu watched with her eyes wide open. No matter how inexperienced she was, she knew this was an invaluable treasure!
Chu Xun could also see the preciousness of this pearl. He then looked at the three snakes, two large and one small, "You've gone to a lot of trouble."
The two large snakes flicked their tongues at him and made way.
Then the weasel family ran to his front. The two largest weasels, one male and one female, stood at the front, while the others were all behind.
Arriving at Chu Xun's feet, the two large weasels bent down and each put down a crystal-clear red and blue gemstone.
Each piece was as large as a pigeon egg. Although irregular, they were also invaluable.
After putting down the gemstones, they crossed their paws and bowed their bodies, seemingly bowing to Chu Xun.
The six or seven small weasels behind them ca over and put down other treasures of various sizes.
Then they imitated them, bowing several tis before retreating.
The treasures they left behind included lapis lazuli, turquoise, and small gold nuggets.
Their sizes were not as large as those two red and blue gemstones, but they were also quite valuable.
Next, several litters of rabbits hopped over and put down several dicinal herbs.
There was gastrodia, mugwort, and a wild mountain ginseng with four whorls of leaves.
Four whorls of leaves did not an four single leaves.
Most wild mountain ginseng took several years to grow five small leaflets, which was called a "palm" leaf.
After several more years, growing a second "palm" leaf would be two whorls, also called two cycles.
And four whorls of leaves usually took more than fifty years to grow.
Placed on the market, it was worth at least six hundred taels of silver.
If encountering soone in urgent need, it could be sold for over eight hundred taels, extrely precious.
Subsequently, those voles sward over. It was unknown who spat out several seeds, which looked extrely inconspicuous in front of the dicinal herbs.
The seeds were yellow and black, of unknown varieties.
The toad hopped over and spat out a small piece of bezoar from its mouth, obtained from who knows where.
There were very few farm cattle near Pinecone Village, so it was obviously obtained from elsewhere.
That washbasin-sized turtle carried over a grayish-silver stone on its back.
One look and it was clear it had experienced the scouring of river water all year round. Its surface was warm and smooth, and it reflected a hazy light under the moonlight.
When Chu Xun received it in his hand, he imdiately felt sothing unusual.
Imperceptible spiritual energy lingered back and forth along the fingers in contact with the stone.
He was instantly overjoyed in his heart. This stone actually contained spiritual energy!
Although his Major Cloud Rain Spell and Earth Control Spell were good, they required consuming more spiritual energy than nine years ago.
Especially now that there were more fields, it was absolutely impossible to completely cover them within a day; he had to be busy continuously for at least four or five days.
When encountering a drought, it was even more troubleso.
Now with this stone containing spiritual energy, he could replenish it, saving a lot of ti.
It was just unknown if it could be restored after the spiritual energy inside was exhausted; he would have to test it in the future.
Finally, cawing sounds ca from overhead.
The crows landed one after another, flapped their wings, hopped over, and put down the unknown fruits held in their mouths.
Since many years ago, they had started to freeload on the spiritual rain, and then gave Chu Xun wild fruits as a thank-you gift.
Today, on the day of his grand wedding, it was still the sa.
It was just that the quantity and variety of wild fruits this ti were greater, many of which he had never seen before.
Among them, a few emitted a faint fragrance, crystal clear like gemstones.
Chu Xun seed to sense sothing. Looking closely, he found bloodstains on the feathers of several crows, as well as scars from being bitten or clawed by sothing.
If one counted carefully, they would know that the number of crows was also missing about a dozen.
Chu Xun's heart stirred. He frowned and asked, "Who did you fight with for these fruits?"
