Chapter 152: Wolf Territory
The lazy sunset shines obliquely in the simple and unadorned courtyard, several weeping willows are swaying gently, as if releasing the heat absorbed during the day. A few proud and colorful roosters strut onto the chicken coop, while the small hens following behind seem to be sulking, hanging their heads listlessly. A pretty young girl in a floral dress holds a small stick, lightly tapping them. Everything is so ordinary, just like the evening of tens of millions of ordinary farmhouses on the mainland.
Balls! How many times have I told you, dxdr, not to sneak food before dinner?! And dxdr, little wolf!, In the narrow kitchen, a beautiful woman with a fiery figure was wearing an apron, her hands on her hips, loudly scolding. On the stove in front of her, a round and plump squirrel's mouth was puffed up, desperately swallowing, still trying to put on a pitiful look. Under the stove, a similarly round and plump little wolf was smiling slyly, its two front paws tightly hugging a roasted chicken.
Fine, let the little wolf and the others go hungry then, no big deal, I'll just have to redo it with dxdr again! Just as the charming woman was about to explode, a gentle voice quietly came in. The previously subdued Ball suddenly lit up her eyes, stood up straight, pulled out the dark Nine Treasures from a dim corner of the stove, let out a low hum and flashed out of the kitchen like lightning. The little wolf's reaction was just as quick, upon hearing someone coming to their rescue, it hastily followed behind Ball and ran out, disappearing in an instant.
Alas, Lao San is used to them, and now even DXDR is used to them. The DXDRs are easy-going, but one person suffers, having to deal with these two little guys' countless tantrums every day! Lan You Zhu complained helplessly, but her tone was much softer than before, and even her demeanor had become more demure.
Only Hecleon could make the originally spirited Lan Youzhu suddenly become like this. He slowly walked to the stove, lifted the lid and took a look, then rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, smiling as he said: "It's not like you don't know, those three little guys have already become the treasures of this household. They're so spoiled that even Old Three doesn't dare offend them. Looking at this food, it hasn't been wasted too much. Come, let's redo it together with Dxd!"
Lan Youzhu still had a reluctant look on her face, slowly moving to He Liancheng's side. In fact, she was already overjoyed in her heart. These days, under her active pursuit, He Liancheng hadn't given in, but he was obviously closer to her than before. Maybe in other people's eyes, the girl taking the initiative to pursue the boy would be seen as lowering herself, but Lan Youzhu didn't care. Having finally met someone she liked, she wouldn't let go so easily!
Little sister, is there anything ready to eat? I've been practicing all day and I'm so hungry I could swallow a whole elephant! The two people in the kitchen were busy, but a black whirlwind suddenly swept in, not waiting for them to respond, and started rummaging through the food. Unfortunately, most of the cooked food had already been stolen by Ball Ball and the others, and now there was only the raw ingredients left in the pot.
Little sister, what's for dinner? Don't tell dxdr that I just started cooking now! Just then, Helian Nu arrived, her face covered in dust, clutching her stomach and complaining loudly.
It's not like those three treasures of dxdr have stolen it! Want to eat? Go find them! Lan Youzhu slammed the kitchen knife in her hand heavily on the chopping board, turned around and glared with wide eyes, expressing her anger. Although Helian Nuo's voice calling her "little sister" made her heart sweet, the anger that had been accumulating for days also burst out at the same time!
"Hmm, I'll go ask Yurou instead...". He Lian Nu smiled wryly and slowly slipped away from Lan Youzhu's side. It was a joke that with He Lian Shuo around, Lan Youzhu's temper would be much better, but He Lian Nu was also well aware of how overboard Qiuqiu had been these days. Ever since they returned to the Soul Realm from Yao Mu's hidden residence, almost every time Lan Youzhu finished cooking with great effort, Qiuqiu would sneak away with Xiao Lang to steal food. It was already exhausting for one person to be in charge of a family's meals, and with these three gluttons causing trouble, it was no wonder Lan Youzhu was furious!
Good grief, luckily Second Brother was there, otherwise today would have been absolutely impossible to walk out of the kitchen alive! He Lian Nu's heart still had lingering fears as she patted her chest and slowly walked to the center of the courtyard. Lan You, who was wearing a floral dress, had already driven all the poultry onto their perches. Seeing He Lian Nu's disheveled appearance, she naturally pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over with a smile, teasingly saying: "What's wrong? Did those little balls get into trouble again? Don't even mention them, these past few days they've gotten scolded by Sister several times because of the three of them. Although they're DXDR's precious darlings, can't let them cause so much chaos!"
It's just that I don't want them to make trouble, but those three masters also have to listen! What do you think they go out to practice all day for? Isn't it to avoid them? If they stay in the yard all day, they'll be driven mad by them! Helian Nuo helplessly spread his hands, indicating that he was also powerless.
Lan You smiled wryly in her heart. As for the power of those three treasures, she was clearer than anyone else. It was only natural that Helian Nuo couldn't handle them.
The two of them chatted idly, and soon Lanyou Zhu remade the meal with Helian Shuo's help. As Zhang Fang returned to the Giant Tree Empire for business, only Helian Nuo, Lan sisters, occasionally Helian Shuo who came over to freeload, as well as mischievous but entertaining Ballball, Xiaolang, and Jiubao were left in residence. The simple courtyard life didn't seem dull at all.
Kerlinuo finished dinner and hurried out with the Tianlang blade on his back. The other three were already used to this, they all knew that Kerlinuo was going to inspect the progress of the migration of the Duanjin and Yaomu tribes.
About ten miles away from the small courtyard, a space entrance was hidden. He Lian Nu carefully came here and opened the entrance with Gong Sun Jian's help. She quickly jumped in, a series of actions extremely familiar, apparently, this wasn't her first time coming here.
A dazzling white light flashed by, and Helianuo reopened his eyes to find himself in another space. This space was extremely vast, with no end in sight. Large and small hills and lakes were scattered everywhere, and animals that didn't fear humans ran around, while unknown flowers and grasses grew all over the place. Perhaps due to the fact that it had been too long since anyone lived here, the area looked a bit desolate. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that on several relatively flat plots of land, thousands of men, women, old and young were bustling about.
Although it's just the beginning, this space looks a bit desolate, but Helianuo's heart is still filled with excitement. In any case, the revival of the Helian tribe has begun, and the migration of the two branches of the Helian Five Branches, Duanjin and Yaomu, is nearing its end. Everything is disappearing, everything is developing in a good direction.
Young master, dxdr has arrived! A loud and clear voice like a thunderclap suddenly sounded behind Helianuo, and without looking back, it was obvious that only the patriarch of the Duanjin clan, Luofei, could produce such a thick and powerful sound.
Head of the clan, shouldn't tomorrow be the day when Holy Soul Academy starts? How can you still have time to come here? Dxd should prepare well, but I heard that bullying new students is a tradition there. Whether it's teachers or students, they will make things difficult for new students in every way. The mortality rate of new students at Holy Soul Academy has even reached 40%. Although the young master's strength has made great progress, he must not be careless! Behind Luo Fei was Mu Mu Lin, wearing a green robe, and next to him was Duan Jin Elder Luo Tian.
Don't worry! Tomorrow, the four of us will be together at the Holy Soul Academy, and no matter who dares to provoke us, they'll be left with nothing but regret! Besides, it's not like we're going alone; Second Brother and You Ruo will be coming with us. And as for Xiao Bai, he said he was just preparing to go home this month, so he'll definitely show up tomorrow too. With the four of us together, no one will dare to mess with us! He Lian Nu confidently clenched his fist, not taking Mu Mu Lin's warning to heart.
It's no wonder that Helianthus is so confident, as in this nearly one-month period of time, he not only consolidated and mastered the eighth-stage cultivation of the Divine Arm, but also intensively practiced the two great Earth-stage soul techniques, Slash Moon Whirlwind and Nine Underworld Thunder Flash. Although his cultivation hasn't further increased, his actual strength has already risen several times over compared to before. Now, Helianthus is still a bit inferior to Helian Shuo, but he far surpasses Mo Fei Bai.
According to the rules of Shenghun Academy, students can bring their families, but family members can only live in the outer courtyard. Only formal students are allowed to enter the inner courtyard. Since the small courtyard is a bit far from the inner courtyard, Zhang Fang spent a lot of money buying a larger house in the outer courtyard. Lei Shuo and Sang Xiao have already moved there. After the official start of school tomorrow, Lan Youzhu will also go there. This way, everyone's chances of meeting each other will increase significantly.
"Mu Zongchang, how much longer will it take to complete the construction of this space?" He Lianuo turned around, looking at the gradually emerging buildings with great interest and asked.
Young master, the residence of the Duanjin clan will be completed in at most a month. The residence of the Yaomu clan has been chosen to be built in a forest within this space, and the craftsmen have already begun designing it. I believe that within two months, the people of both clans can move into their new homes. However... although this space belongs to the Gongsun family, it has now been occupied by us, the Helian clan. Shouldn't we give it a new name? Mu Mu Lin roughly reported on the progress of the construction and then proposed her own idea.
"What's in a name?" Helian's heart skipped a beat, his right hand pressed against his chest, and after a moment of contemplation, he said in a deep voice:
This space shall be called Wolf Domain!
