Chapter 194 - 195: Is it Satisfying Enough?_l
Su Hu was very pleased with the Lava Cave. When he returned with an empty basket, his face was full of smiles, with no sign of fatigue from climbing in the rain. He kept praising Wang Meng.
“Brother Meng, this Lava Cave you found is fantastic! Those hunters in the village have been hunting on the mountain for so many years and haven’t found such a good place.”
“Hehe, it was just a coincidence.”
Wang Meng scratched his head with a foolish smile, not mentioning that it was all Little Kingfisher’s doing. He’d just been wandering cluelessly around the mountain.
“Yin’er, thank you for helping us. If it weren’t for you, we would’ve been lost.”
Su Qingluo also didn’t hesitate to praise Little Kingfisher. She took a handful of Dried Sweet Potato from her purse and held it in her tender little hand, rewarding it for its efforts.
“This is nothing, all the beasts and birds in the woods listen to my commands.”
Little Kingfisher happily ate the Dried Sweet Potato with a proud look on its face, showing off in an arrogant manner.
“With just a command from this baby, they’ll obediently report information about the caves to me. It’s just that picking the right cave was a bit of a hassle.”
“Haha, did you have fun picking one?” Su Qingluo laughed with a smile in her eyes.
“It was just so-so, I guess.”
Little Kingfisher was a little arrogant: “All those caves were useless; not a single one had a vein of ore.”
“Hahaha.”
Su Qingluo laughed, her heart blooming with happiness. She teased, “You really are a little treasure hunter, even expecting to find some treasure while searching for a cave.”
“A cave without veins is boring.”
Little Kingfisher didn’t even want to be modest: “This baby has discerning eyes for treasures. No Rare Treasures in the world can escape my detection. It’s a waste of my unique talent if there are no treasures to find.”
“Hahaha, it seems our plan to travel around various countries is imminent.”
Su Qingluo’s eyes curved like crescent moons: “We can’t just bury our Divine Beast baby’s outstanding talents.”
“Master, have you decided? Are we going to travel around different countries?” Little Kingfisher’s eyes lit up instantly.
Su Qingluo playfully smiled, “Mmm, I’ll consider it after my tenth birthday.”
“Ah, it’s still so far away.”
Little Kingfisher’s bright, little eyes dimmed instantly, grumbling listlessly,
“By the time you turn ten, it will be too late.”
“I’m eight and a half now, just a year and a half left until I’m ten.” Su Qingluo counted on her fingers: “A year and a half will pass quickly.” “Ah, I’d better go play outside; it’s too stifling staying at home.”
Having heard her uncommitted response, Little Kingfisher flapped its wings and flew away listlessly.
“Yin’er, don’t go too far. Keep an eye on the upstream situation. If the riverbank really collapses, let us know immediately.”
Su Qingluo watched it fly away through the window gap and shook her head with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll go check out the upstream area and catch an Old Turtle to make soup.”
With a new source of entertainment, Little Kingfisher’s spirit was instantly lifted, and it flew away like a flash of lightning.
By the time Su Hu and the others returned from the mountain, it was late. Grandma Liu brought out hot food from the stove.
After a hearty meal, the Jinping and Jiyu brothers volunteered to spend the night in the cave to guard their belongings, while also chopping some firewood and drying it in preparation for the family’s arrival the next day.
The pair left the house with two full baskets, planning to return early the next morning to help the family move.
As night fell, Su Qingluo put away all herbs and brewed wine in the courtyard into her Storage Ring..
