34: Chapter 33: Everything after Mengjiang is mine (4th update!)
As soon as Owen Bertram left, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow sighed in relief.
She no longer cared about appearing dignified in front of others and was incredibly content with just maintaining her dignity. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
However, when she saw an empty bag on the ground, she suddenly realized and gritted her teeth.
“Are you a pig?
That was enough food for this fairy for three days, and you ate it all for breakfast…”
Next to the bag was the exceptionally complicated “Kingston” character that Owen Bertram had just written.
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow suddenly thought of a possibility: Was I tricked by this kid?
I mentioned before that the more complex the Heterotext, the stronger it is.
He could have added a few strokes on purpose, and I wouldn’t have noticed.
What a mistake!
Who would have thought that the kid, who looked dull and slow, actually had some cunning thoughts.
At this moment, she noticed that various insects, such as ants, mole crickets, and cicadas, had emerged from the ground around her.
They all crawled neatly towards the Heterotext.
From the surrounding grass and trees, ladybugs, longhorn beetles, and cicadas also flew down…
Soon, there was a large gathering around the Heterotext, trembling as if they were worshipping it.
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow stared in disbelief, her expression exceptionally adorable.
After a while, she turned around and left, thoroughly depressed.
To soothe her wounded spirit, she decided to have a big meal in County Town.
That greedy kid would not be able to taste any of these delicacies.
Hmm, thinking about this, Vanessa Chief Flag finally felt a little happy!
Look, this is a spiritual victory.
Not long after Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow left, a middle-aged man with a sad face, carrying a worn-out hemp bag, arrived outside the village.
He glanced at the village, sighed, and walked in.
Then, he settled down in a half-collapsed, uninhabited house.
…
Although he no longer had to pay the Life Saving Tax during this time, Owen Bertram was still working hard to find pearls.
He had already determined that the pearls found near the village were not simple decorations; they should be similar to Spirit Jade, only much less valuable.
He needed to save more pearls, so if he ever had the opportunity to leave the village, these pearls could be used as money.
There wasn’t a single Pearl Diver along that stretch of Hunshui River.
Although the Horizon Bureau later determined that the “demon beast” had been hit by a Howling of the Wolf and was likely to die from severe injuries, pearl divers dared not take the risk.
Owen Bertram followed the Hunshui River towards Mangle River, where there were even fewer people.
Little Loach was ecstatic, as the small Hunshui River constrained its appetite.
Owen Bertram wanted to collect pearls, and Little Loach wanted to eat first.
Moreover, Little Loach was unabashedly justified: “You ate so much for breakfast.
Why should I work on an empty stomach?”
Owen Bertram had no rebuttal.
At the junction where the Hunshui River and Mangle River met, the river was even wider, with more undercurrents, making it a paradise for fierce creatures.
Little Loach spent the entire morning devouring a Great Sky Insect, a Giant Fang Demon Catfish, and a Chain-tailed Dangling Fishing Bird.
The warmth from the Great Sky Insect flowed into the “Kingston” Heterotext, which successfully transformed into a Responsive Object – a Jade Cicada.
It looked a bit like the jade carving “Eight-knife Cicada” in Owen Bertram’s previous life, with the “Kingston” character engraved on its abdomen.
Of course, the warmth from the Giant Fang Demon Catfish merged into the Jade Seal Yingwu.
Compared to the Great Seal Apparition, the Jade Cicada Yingwu was still pitifully small, tucked away to one side in the large cave beneath the abdomen, looking like a wronged little wife.
The Chain-tailed Dangling Fishing Bird was quite peculiar, a type of water bird living by the riverside of Hunshui River, with four long tails.
It stood on rocks by the river, dangling its tails into the water to attract Fierce Fish, who mistook the tails for small fish.
The moment the fish bit the tails, they would be dragged out by the bird, pecked to death, and slowly devoured.
This bird was about half a foot in size, with tails reaching seven or eight feet long, which it usually coiled up and kept under its wings.
The Little Loach Sword Pill flew out and immediately pierced the poor bird, dropping it into the water as food for itself.
After eating the bird, perhaps finding its taste satisfactory, the Little Loach scoured the entire river to find more.
Unfortunately, these birds were rare, and it couldn’t find a second one.
The warm current of the bird merged into the Great Seal Apparition, making Owen Bertram feel as if his body had become a few pounds lighter, increasing his speed and agility.
Little Loach swam in circles in the river water, letting Owen understand its meaning: The tail of this water bird was very unique, and as long as it ate enough of them, it could offer up a Magical Instrument Chain Lock to its elder brother.
Little Loach proudly implied that the chain would be hundreds of times stronger than the one it had eaten before.
Little Loach seemed to reminisce about the hardships it had faced: At that time, it was so poor at home and really had nothing else to eat, otherwise it wouldn’t have consumed such a thing.
Owen Bertram was a bit annoyed, feeling like Little Loach was insinuating something about him.
However, he was very intrigued by the “Chain Lock” Magical Instrument mentioned by Little Loach, and asked how many more birds it would need to eat.
Little Loach gave a number: thirty!
You’re dreaming!
Owen Bertram immediately refused, as these water birds were easier for him to spot onshore than Little Loach.
Little Loach swam around twice, earnestly expressing that it wasn’t bargaining without reason: It really needed that many, big brother!
Owen Bertram insipidly responded: No way, five.
Little Loach swished its tail and left, feeling that there was no bargaining with family.
Unmoved, Owen Bertram waited for a while before Little Loach eventually returned: twenty-five, it really can’t be fewer.
Owen Bertram pretended to be saddened: Do you know how much I’ve sacrificed for this family?
Supporting three siblings is so hard, do you understand?
When you were injured and couldn’t help out, I had to take care of you and my little sister, living such a difficult life!
Little Loach appeared ashamed, yet also felt that Owen shouldn’t have said those things as they were family after all.
After a round of bargaining, they finally settled on twelve birds.
After concluding the deal, Owen brought up another matter.
In fact, he had always been curious: What would happen if Little Loach spent an entire day eating, doing nothing else?
Little Loach uttered a chirp and leapt out of the water, excitedly suggesting: This question is worth researching, we can do an experiment!
Owen Bertram chuckled and said it would depend on Little Loach’s performance.
If it found more pearls today, they would start the experiment tomorrow!
That afternoon, satiated Little Loach enthusiastically got to work, while Owen attached his soul to its body and searched for pearls on the riverbed.
The Hunshui River was vast, teeming with numerous dangerous creatures.
People and cultivators living along the river’s upper and lower streams would enter the river to fish, but none would venture to the Extinct Village segment due to the Cold Poison, and the creatures there were even more formidable.
For countless years, no human had freely explored this area.
Occasionally, Cliff Maxwell, who dove into the water here, boasted about the experience in the village for a lifetime.
Owen Bertram was the real pearl diver in the Hunshui River.
In the course of the afternoon, Little Loach found six broad bean-sized pearls!
The River Clams here were enormous with hard shells, but Little Loach could easily shatter them with a flick of its tail.
It just needed to be careful not to crush the pearls inside as well.
Owen didn’t even need to get in the water anymore, as Little Loach would simply bring the pearls to him with its mouth.
