Chapter 171 - 166 When Mother Hen_1



After all, that mountain is home to a large number of special bee colonies bred by the Green Demon.

Though they are merely the discarded products from the breeding process of the Green Demon Bees, they remain incredibly powerful. Qin Niu knew that many who ventured into those woods in search of Green Demon Bees met their unfortunate end at the hands of the wild bees’ Poison Stingers.

“Master, you’re back!”

Xiao Qing ran over excitedly from Wang Furen’s house.

Wang Wanyan followed behind with a smile on her face.

“You don’t know how worried Xiao Qing was about you. She barely slept last night. She spent most of today crouched by the window, looking outside, hoping for your return.”

Wang Wanyan said to Qin Niu.

“She has always been this way.”

Xiao Qing had long regarded Qin Niu as her only support. After returning from the city this time, her trust in and fondness for Qin Niu had deepened, treating him as her only family.

She was still young and couldn’t help feeling uneasy when Qin Niu had not returned home by nightfall.

“Xiao Qing didn’t cause any trouble in your place yesterday, did she?”

“She was very good, helping me clean and organize the room. I am really envious that you have such a good servant girl. My father once thought of buying me a servant girl, but I was worried about the expenses and didn’t agree. But it would be nice to buy one if I earn money in the future!”

Wang Wanyan was very affectionate towards Xiao Qing.

“Sister Wanyan, if you marry my master, I’ll be your servant girl! Then you won’t need to buy another one.”

Xiao Qing’s idea was tinged with a child’s innocence.

A single careless remark suddenly made the atmosphere turn somewhat chilly.

Wang Wanyan’s pretty face blushed, and she stole glances at Qin Niu.

“Sister Wanyan, such a beautiful and outstanding girl like you would never fancy a country bumpkin like me! Child, don’t talk nonsense in the future.”

Qin Niu chided Xiao Qing.

“Not at all! In Sister Wanyan’s room, there is a drawing of…”

“Xiao Qing, you must not tell your master about that. You promised.”

“Oh, I almost let it slip!”

Xiao Qing quickly covered her mouth.

“Um… my father seemed to have something for me just now. I’m heading back. Ah Niu, when you have time, can you teach me how to tame beasts? I’ve tamed our cat, but I don’t know how to interact and cultivate it.”

Wang Wanyan’s pretty face had turned red all the way to the base of her neck, making her look even more beautiful.

Watching her, Qin Niu’s gaze was fixed.

It wasn’t until she hurriedly walked out of the courtyard that Qin Niu came to his senses.

“I’ll come to your house in a couple of days. I’m afraid of causing you trouble right now.”

Qin Niu called out to her retreating figure.

“Mitin!”

She didn’t dare to stop or to look at Qin Niu.

All she wanted was to flee quickly, to avoid the awkward situation.

“Thank you for taking care of Xiao Qing for me. May I trouble you with her again tonight?”

“Mhm!”

She still didn’t turn around, but her body paused momentarily.

Inwardly, Qin Niu guessed that Xiao Qing must have seen some secret while helping her tidy up the room.

What could she be drawing? Cowherd and the Weaving Maid, or mandarin ducks? Or perhaps a pair of lovebirds?

A girl’s mind is the most complex.

A woman’s heart is as unfathomable as the ocean’s depths; nobody knows what they truly think.

She was unlike an ordinary girl—having read various books since childhood and possessing strong convictions, her expectations for love were surely higher.

That evening, Qin Niu didn’t go into the mountains but took Xiao Qing to Miss Wang’s house before leaping onto the roof.

He sat cross-legged atop the roof, practicing the Everlasting Spring Technique.

The Pork of the Pig King had worked well, being that of a demonic beast, it contained considerable energy. After consuming it, his body absorbed the energy within. When he practiced the Everlasting Spring Technique, they transformed into the technique’s power.

However, the power of the Medicine King Sutra only grew through the absorption of medicinal qi.

No other method was effective.

Eating copious amounts of the Corpse King’s flesh did not increase the potency of his Medicine King Sutra by even a little bit.

He felt that the Medicine King Sutra was very special, likely created solely for the purpose of refining and identifying medicines.

There were no incidents throughout the night.

It seemed that after taking down Mu Kuai, the Green Silkworm, and the two Corpse Bees, Old Master Huang temporarily lost his target.

However, even so, Qin Niu still did not dare to be careless.

He took out a low-grade Talisman, bit his fingertip, activated the Talisman, and then attempted to subdue one of the Corpse Bees.

The golden light that emanated from the Talisman upon approaching the Corpse Bee was directly repelled.

A faint golden light appeared on the surface of the Corpse Bee.

This indicated that it had already been claimed by someone, owned and bound.

Such insects or animals could not be tamed.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Qin Niu’s gaze turned to the egg of the Green Silk Worm.

The golden light from the Talisman shot towards the insect egg.

This time, it was successful.

The golden light entered the insect egg as if into a bottomless pit, causing not even a ripple of disturbance.

He knew what this meant.

It meant the egg he had subdued was of a higher grade than Grade One.

The prior consumption of a low-grade Talisman was merely a test to see if the Corpse Bee had already been claimed.

Now that it was confirmed to be claimed, it indicated that Old Master Huang had established a direct connection with it.

The day before yesterday, killing that Corpse Bee must have certainly caused some spirit damage to Old Master Huang.

The other party now knew that Qin Niu was capable of handling Grade Four Corpse Bees.

“Old Master Huang didn’t come to seek vengeance last night, either because he couldn’t find the location, or because his soul was wounded, or maybe he realized that the Mu Kuai and Corpse Bees he sent out had been killed, so he didn’t dare to make any reckless moves,” Qin Niu thought to himself with a touch of enlightenment.

A mid-grade Contractual Talisman in his hand was activated, transforming into golden light that entered the insect egg, smaller than a sesame seed.

This time, there was finally a bit of a reaction.

After a moment, a wisp of faint golden light shot out, entering Qin Niu’s forehead.

Fortunately, this Green Silk Worm was still in the egg stage and had almost no consciousness to resist. Therefore, the entire taming process went exceptionally smoothly.

Green Silkworm (Egg)

Grade: Grade Two, Cephalopodic Ringworms, experience towards the next level o/iooo

Lifespan: Infinite

Energy: 1

Skills: None

Talent: Parasitism

Currently, it is still in the egg stage, and its abilities are in a state of the unknown.

It is only after it successfully hatches that we will know what skills it possesses.

As for talent, it may change as the insect continuously advances in grade.

Sometimes, when insects advance in grade, they may lose their original talent.

But most often, insects acquire new talents upon advancing in grade.

If an Insect Master’s insect loses its talent during the process of advancement, they can only consider it bad luck.

However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Because when an insect evolves, the loss of a talent may be in exchange for becoming stronger. Often, the lost talent conflicts with new capabilities, and the insect makes a choice to discard the talent in order to gain more powerful skills.

Qin Niu, having successfully claimed this Green Silkworm, was filled with endless anticipation and joy.

The next step was to keep it close to his body and use his body heat to incubate it.

Being an Insect Master is truly not easy, feeling now like a mother hen that has to incubate this egg. He also had to be constantly alert to avoid letting it get cold.

“I hope it can hatch soon.”

According to the scriptures on the jade slip, at best it only takes about a month to hatch, but if it’s slow, then it’s a bit tragic, possibly taking several years.

The main concern is that it’s so small that it’s prone to getting lost.
