The Emperor is Above

Chapter 171 Cat Ghost God Senior Servant

A solitary hill among the trees.

The grass is lush, the flowers are fragrant, and the air is filled with spiritual energy.

Qing Yi carried the little girl into the woods, accompanied by a little fox and a civet cat.

"Wow, what a beautiful big garden!"

Niu Niu, who was originally pouting and looking unhappy, was suddenly attracted by the beautiful scenery in the forest. Her bright big eyes widened and she couldn't help looking around.

As for the spiritual energy in the woods of Solitary Hill, it is definitely not as good as that in Old Man Shi’s small courtyard. The spiritual herbs and medicines planted there are only of the ninth grade, and the varieties are far less abundant than those in Old Man Shi’s place. However, there is a gardening master like Jiang Ji.

Even in the small courtyard of the capital city which was only a few meters long and wide, Jiang Ji was able to cultivate a pleasing scenery. Since coming to Guqiu, her health has been getting better and better.

In addition to taking over the cultivation of spiritual herbs and medicines, she also gave full play to her hobbies. She strived to achieve perfect combinations in the planting of each kind of spiritual herbs and medicines, and also planted a large number of flowers, grasses, shrubs and vines.

Dozens of girls take care of and cultivate these flowers every day with great laughter. After several months of growth in spring and summer, this piece of woods has become a large garden with a beautiful environment.

As the number of spiritual herbs and medicines increased, the spiritual energy produced became more and more intense, nourishing the flowers and trees and making them bloom exceptionally brightly.

Walking in this forest full of magical herbs and medicines, Qing Yi felt that his heart, lungs and internal organs were perfectly cleansed, and his breath was filled with the light and ethereal scent of spiritual energy.

This kind of change has occurred before, but it has never been as drastic as it has been recently. The source of the change is the four dragon claw locust tree spirits.

Ever since that day's battle with the coalition of wild folks, the four dragon claw locust tree spirits have undergone significant changes. Their branches and leaves have become more vibrant, and their trunks, branches, and leaves are constantly flashing with spiritual light.

"Oh, big brother, there is water dripping from the locust tree!" Niu Niu looked around in Qing Yi's arms, and suddenly she covered her forehead and cried out crisply.

When wiping the little guy's forehead, Qing Yi's pupils couldn't help but shrink. He discovered that this thing that looked like water droplets was actually spiritual liquid formed by condensed spiritual energy.

He watched helplessly as a drop of spiritual liquid on his fingertips turned into wisps of spiritual energy and eventually disappeared completely. He then looked at the several dragon claw locust tree spirits nearby, and saw quite a few droplets of spiritual energy condensed between their branches and leaves.

"The spiritual energy has liquefied. Has the spiritual energy in the four locust trees become so dense? No wonder the big rooster and the little phoenix have been living on the dragon claw locust tree with their chicks and are unwilling to come down."

Qing Yi seemed to be thinking about something. Last time, Mu Ling mentioned that several dragon claw locust tree spirits had achieved enlightenment and were likely to be promoted to the second level within this year. Could it be that they were showing signs of promotion now?

Qing Yi felt happy when he thought of this. Last year, the four dragon claw locust tree spirits were still third grade. With their combined strength, they were able to intimidate the ghost king so much that he dared not approach.

If the four dragon claw locust tree spirits were promoted to the second level, how powerful would their combat power be? Qing Yi immediately felt more confident.

In excitement, she picked a handful of flowers and made a beautiful wreath for Niu Niu, and the little girl instantly turned into a fairy.

After putting on the wreath, Niu Niu was so happy that she got down from Qing Yi's arms on her own initiative, skipped on the soft grass, and followed Qing Yi around.

It has to be admitted that Jiang Ji and dozens of girls have made great contributions. The small hills within a radius of two miles around Guqiu, including the village, are almost all planted with magical herbs and medicines as long as there is open space, and are dotted with colorful flowers everywhere, which is pleasing to the eye everywhere.

Niu Niu didn't understand much. She just followed him around happily and showed off her beautiful wreath to everyone she knew. Before she knew it, she followed Qing Yi to the farmland full of golden grains.

With the arrival of the early autumn season, the corn plants grew very strong, the golden ears were more than two feet long, and the full corn kernels were three millimeters in diameter, like golden pearls. Qing Yi picked up a golden corn and could feel the faint spiritual energy contained in it, as well as a fragrance similar to corn but special.

Niuniu also smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but said crisply: "Big brother, the corn smells so good. It feels almost the same as the magical rice I eat at home."

Qing Yi couldn't help but stroke Niuniu's little head: "Haha, this piece of millet is called Golden Valley, it's a new variety I cultivated, it's not considered spiritual rice yet.

It will be harvested in the autumn harvest season in a month. Then Niuniu can come and try it to see how it is different from the spiritual rice. If you like it, you can take a few bags back with you."

"Ah wu——"

The little fox suddenly interrupted Qing Yi with a loud warning. The civet cat's hair stood on end and it hunched its body, looking warily towards the southwest.

"So this piece of millet is called Golden Millet. It's actually a new variety cultivated by you. You are such a talented young vassal. I'm afraid you won't have a chance to eat it when the time comes, hehehe——"

A thin, soft voice came into Qing Yi's ears from not far away, as if a centipede had drilled into his ear, making his back suddenly numb and he shiver, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over.

He raised his head and looked towards the source of the voice, but saw no one. Only a black cat with shiny black fur standing fifty feet away from him, looking at him with an evil smile on its face.

Unlike the several black cats I had seen before, the black cat in front of me did not have any dead air. It looked like a lively and strong black cat. There were no scars on its body, and its fur was shiny and glossy.

The only similarity is the pair of extremely representative huge eyes, with a complex and evil look, not like a cat but more like a living person.

"A high-ranking servant of the Cat Ghost God?"

Qing Yi looked solemn. He felt that this black cat was stronger than the intermediate servant of the Cat Ghost God.

Considering that Niuniu was right beside him, he immediately drew out the fourth-grade crocodile bone sword from his waist, took a defensive posture, and sneered, "Why don't you go rescue the captured Black Kui priest, but come to me instead? What do you want?"

“Hehehe, what a discerning young vassal! He recognized my identity at the first sight. As for rescuing that idiot Hei Kui Priest? I don’t have the guts to snatch someone from a first-rank grandmaster.”

The black cat's voice was still eerie and uncomfortable. The five-year-old Niu Niu hid behind Qing Yi, but did not seem scared.

It lay lazily on the grass fifty feet away, its expression still strangely feminine as it spoke softly, "As for why I came to you, of course it was to negotiate with you and completely eliminate the misunderstandings and contradictions between the two sides.

My god has formed an alliance with the Black Wind God, and was commissioned by him to get involved in the situation in Xing State. There was no conflict between you and me. As far as I know, it all started from the idiot Hei Kui who acted on his own initiative and attempted to seize Guqiu as the base of the Water Horse Tribe.

But since you are also a well-known figure, I, God, do not want to conflict with the forces behind you, so I will let bygones be bygones, and I hope you and the forces behind you will not get involved."

Qing Yi stared at the black cat closely, and said with a vigilant look: "How do I know that you are not deceiving me? After all, the power of the cat ghost is unfathomable. Who knows if you are deceiving me first and then attacking Guqiu after the chaos in Xing State?"

The black cat's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he said in an unhappy tone: "Don't you know any manners? After all, I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of God, but you don't even have the courtesy to come and talk to me."

Qing Yi's expression changed, but he suddenly pointed at the black cat and laughed: "It turns out that you are also a coward, and you don't dare to come close to me."

PS: There will be two updates today. Dear readers, please allow me to sort out the outline of the following.
