The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 32 Reputation Damaged (2 Updates)
"I understand. I will send someone to handle the matter of the three-tailed fox. Also, I hope you will not harm the animals that have developed intelligence over at Donghu Tea Mountain."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything unnecessary!"

With the Special Administration Bureau's intervention, Yunran finally felt relieved, and the group began to learn tea-making from the master tea master they had invited.

Their next task at the stall is to sell the tea they process themselves.

The young masters and ladies who were so enthusiastic about showing off this morning are now as wilted as little cabbages.

"I never knew that making tea was such a laborious process!"

"I will never say that the tea my dad bought was expensive again. It's worth the price!"

"This is the first time I've ever roasted tea leaves. Quick, take a picture of it. I'll give these tea leaves to my dad later, and he'll definitely be moved to tears."

"Is there anyone who can help me? My shoulders are so sore and burning hot, and my hands are blistered."

"Waaaaah, I want to go home! This place is no fun at all!"

……

Of all the students at Xinghua School, only the chubby boy was persisting in doing it with great dedication. At this moment, everyone had to admit the power of genetics.

Seeing Yunran's half-dead state, the chubby boy quickly said, "Yunran, let me stir-fry your tea leaves for you. I've almost got the rhythm down."

Yunran was naturally happy to have someone help her, and immediately stuffed all her tea leaves into the little fat boy's hands.

I sat to the side, eating snacks and enjoying the scenery of the tea mountain.

Seeing that they could still ask for help, the others also stepped forward to plead their case with the chubby boy.

"Zhu Shijia, please help us too."

"I'm giving you my brand new model that I just bought, a limited edition worldwide!"

"And me, here are the shoes I just bought that were signed by the King of Football."

……

The teachers leading the group nearby were already used to this. Every year during these charity study tours, these students would use all sorts of excuses to shirk their duties.

Such fraudulent behavior would have earned most people a severe dressing-down.

But the little darlings they brought with them all came from increasingly prestigious families.

They call themselves teachers, but who would dare to actually scold or reprimand these little devils? They'd probably want to quit.

As long as these little devils can complete the task, it doesn't matter whether they do it themselves or hire someone else to do it.

Didn't you see that the parents of these little devils all arranged for people to follow behind them, just to help them cheat?

People just want an experience, not to actually suffer in person. Anyone who takes it seriously is an idiot.

After finishing the last batch of stir-fried food, the chubby boy felt like he had lost at least ten pounds.

When it was time for dinner, everyone ate an extra bowl of rice and lost all interest in playing around. They couldn't wait to lie in bed and fall asleep.

When Yunran was half asleep that night, she heard someone constantly talking in her ear.

What Yunran hated most was being disturbed while trying to sleep. So she grabbed another pillow, closed her eyes, and threw it at the window.

The surroundings immediately quieted down, and Yunran slept soundly until dawn. Just as she got up to eat breakfast, she heard her classmates saying mysteriously, "Have you heard any strange noises?"

"No, I was exhausted yesterday and slept very soundly, but I kept having dreams, which made me feel tired when I woke up this morning."

"I heard it too, it's a constant rustling sound, it's really annoying."

……

Some of the team leaders also said they hadn't slept well, but they thought it was because they were in a tea plantation.

Just like in the countryside, because it's so quiet at night, even the slightest sound is very clear. It's normal to hear insects chirping in this kind of weather.

Song Qi was the only one who didn't feel this way at all, but he didn't want to appear unconventional, so he remained silent as he listened to these words.

It wasn't until he went back to his room to change that he noticed that one corner of the amulet he had bought from Yunran looked burnt.

Song Qi's heart skipped a beat. He knew very well that he had checked the amulet last night when he took a shower and it was still in good condition.

After changing his clothes, he found Yunran and told her about the unusual amulet: "I heard them all saying they didn't sleep well. Is there something wrong here?"

Looking at Song Qi's face, which resembled Song Ye's, Yun Ran couldn't help but feel that the timid Song Qi and the righteous Song Ye were not related by blood.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that some small animals that have developed intelligence are making a fuss at night. The amulet reacted because it blocked their disturbances, allowing you to get a good rest. It's nothing serious."

Upon hearing this, Song Qi became even more frightened. Although he was highly educated, he was not a staunch materialist. When he was a child, reading things like Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio could scare him so much that he would wet the bed.

"Can you drive them all away?"

“They have the right to live, and besides, this is their home. I have no right to drive them away.”

Moreover, this world is not just the world of humans, but also the world of animals, plants, and trees.

Just as some people who like them will treat them like family, some people who don't like them still need to respect their existence.

Song Qi could only nod, but the fear in his heart was still hard to control, and he immediately decided that he would have to sleep with the lights on tonight.

Next, the students will continue to follow the master craftsman to complete the remaining steps of tea making.

Beside the pond, a little squirrel was munching on some fruit when it heard voices and looked over.

Its gaze met Yunran's, which startled it so much that it immediately dropped the fruit and hurriedly climbed up the tree. Its panicked appearance was as if it had seen some great demon.

In fact, the word had spread among all the animals in Donghu Tea Mountain that a female demon had come to the tea mountain.

Not only did they dare to attack protected animals, but they also killed (rumored) small animals during their evening gathering.

He's incredibly vicious; if you see him, you must run away, or you'll be in serious trouble.

Although the little squirrel had never met the legendary female demon, it was certain that Yun Ran was the female demon after just one glance at her.

Yunran had no idea that small animals could also exaggerate and spread rumors, which quickly spread throughout the country, damaging her reputation.

As a result, she was disliked by the small animals for a long time afterward.

After being graded by the chubby boy's exceptionally talented hands, the finished tea leaves are ready for packaging and sale.
