Chapter 58: Comparison (1st Update)
In the early morning, the sun rises in the east, and the fog in the mountains begins to slowly dissipate.
On the peak from a bird's-eye view, Zhao Qian was sitting cross-legged on a wooden bench meditating.
I saw him take a deep breath facing the rising red sun, and suddenly felt refreshed.
"What a place full of spirit. Zhao Qian couldn't help but admire.
In a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, the eagle head Xu Cheng was drying a fresh fox skin.
After ten years of hard work, Xu Cheng has built two wooden houses with his bare hands, no more, no less, just one for one person.
Zhao Qian smelled a faint smell of blood, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, there was another fox girl visiting last night?"
During this time, Zhao Gan meditated and cultivated almost every day, and never traveled to the mountains and rivers to waste his time.
The exercises he cultivates are extremely special, although he can't improve his cultivation to the realm, he can absorb the world's luck.
This kind of mysterious and mysterious luck, blessed on the body of His Royal Highness the prince, has become the national fortune of the Northern Confucian Kingdom.
Don't look at Zhao Qian's usual behavior, he is like a gentleman from an ordinary rich and noble family, but he is more serious than anyone else about this kind of major event related to the direction of national fortunes.
Xu Cheng hung the freshly peeled fox skin on a wooden pier and replied with a smile: "Last night, His Highness slept deeply, and I didn't hear the sound of a woman screaming outside the courtyard, which is a good thing." β
"What is a flattery? Old man Xu, can you show me?"
"Uh, this ......" Xu Cheng looked embarrassed.
Zhao Qian laughed and said, "Old man Xu, since I left the capital, there have been no palace maids around His Royal Highness, and I haven't felt the warm and soft taste for a long time, so I'm really a little panicked." Otherwise, if there is a fox girl coming over and screaming in the future, you wake me up first, and when I finish my hunger, you can beat her to death. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for me to be able to solve that need, and for you to get a fine fox skin?"
Xu Cheng coughed lightly and reminded: "Your Highness, the fox on the mountain is good at feeding on the essence of people, and Your Highness is a dragon, don't be greedy for this kind of gentle township." What's more, shemales have different paths......"
Zhao Qian stretched his waist and said a little impatiently: "I'm just joking, do you take this seriously?"
Xu Cheng replied with embarrassment: "It's because my subordinates think too much, Your Highness don't blame it." β
Zhao Qian waved his hand and said, "Hey, I suddenly want to eat game, old man Xu, you go and see if there are pheasants, hares and the like on this mountain, and catch a few to come back to satisfy your hunger." β
"The subordinates obeyed. β
Xu Cheng bent down towards Zhao Gan and left the courtyard backwards.
When he came out of the courtyard, he was on tiptoe, like an eagle, and quickly swept down the mountain.
A bird's-eye view of the peak is hundreds of meters in circumference, all of which are densely wooded.
Xu Cheng rose and fell a few times in the treetops, and disappeared into the dense forest in an instant.
In the small courtyard, Zhao Qian took a deep breath, made a breathless dantian movement, and began to close his eyes and meditate.
"Goo-Goo......
Outside the courtyard, there was a sudden strange noise.
Zhao Qian was unmoved, still practicing with his eyes closed.
"Twitter ......"
There was another strange noise outside the courtyard.
Zhao Gan's eyelids moved, a little bored.
"Quack ......"
There was another strange noise outside the courtyard.
Zhao Qian finally couldn't help but open his eyes and shouted outside: "Huangfu Yao, are you naΓ―ve?"
Outside the courtyard, a figure stood out from the shadows and said with a smile: "It's endless fun to play with Brother Zhao." β
Zhao Qian said angrily: "I don't have time to mess around with you, let me stay away." β
Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, Huang Fu walked around the thin bamboo fence, and then jumped into the courtyard.
This fence has actually been blessed with a secret spell by Xu Cheng, and ordinary monsters can't go beyond half a step.
So last night, the fox demon could only bark outside the fence, trying to seduce the people inside.
It's just that she really didn't know what to do, so she actually came to Xu Cheng, a Jindan Realm monk, to die.
Huangfu is not a demon, so the secret spell can't stop him.
He looked around and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Tsk, Brother Zhao is the prince of the Northern Confucian Kingdom, and I didn't expect the house he lived in to be so shabby. If I hadn't known Brother Zhao's identity in advance, I would have thought that the woodcutter from the countryside who lived here was from a rural family. β
When Zhao Gan heard his words, his eyelids couldn't help jumping a few times, and he couldn't bear to hit anyone.
"What, Brother Huangfu went to the mountains to practice, do you still want to live in the palace?"
"Aha, forget about such a luxurious residence as the palace, I don't have a place to build my palm-sized mountain. However, Brother Zhao's mountain is so big, if you want to live in a palace, you can consider building one. Look at where you live now, it's like the place where the mountain village man lives, I really feel pain in my eyes. β
Zhao Qian endured him for a long time, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "How far is it, roll for me!"
"Okay, then I won't disturb Brother Zhao's cultivation and say goodbye. β
The emperor laughed, jumped out of the fence, and turned to leave.
Zhao Qian closed his eyes and wanted to continue meditating, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.
Huangfu's words just now, every word was mocking him, which made him feel really uncomfortable.
"Hmph, I'd like to see how much better you live than I am!"
Zhao Qian muttered to himself, got up and left the small courtyard, and walked towards Qingmei Peak, where Huangfu was located.
Qingmei Peak is located in the west of Zhenlong Mountain, which is very close to the cliff peak, but the mountain is much smaller than the cliff peak, and it cannot be compared with the bird's-eye view peak.
There are nearly 100 hills in Zhenlong Mountain, large and small, and almost no one else has been there except for Chongyang and Li Jinghong who occasionally go to play and hang out.
Between the mountains, there is not even a decent mountain road, and you can only pass through the forest.
Fortunately, the Qingmei Peak and the Bird's-eye View Peak are not too far away.
Zhao Qian did not encounter obstacles along the way, and soon climbed to the Qingmei Peak where the emperor was located.
It's just that when he saw that an extremely luxurious residence had been built on the top of Qingmei Peak, he couldn't help but be stunned.
No wonder just now, Huang Fu Yao would go out of his way to mock him so hard, it turned out that this guy came prepared.
Zhao Qian looked at this luxurious residence comparable to a palace, and then thought about the simple wooden house he lived in, and suddenly felt a little sad.
Nima, it's just that people are more popular than people.
"No, if my father doesn't build a palace for me on the bird's-eye peak, I will leave my son alone, His Royal Highness is also the prince of the dignified Northern Confucian Kingdom, how can the place where he live be so shabby. β
Zhao Qian stood outside the courtyard and muttered to himself, then turned to leave.
When he left, Huangfu Yao jumped out of his hiding place and laughed: "This Zhao Qian really laughed at me, and it was really not boring to have him as a neighbor." β
