Time-traveling island
Chapter 26 Monster? No, Immortal Demon
Anxing County.
As the white light appeared, Wang Wanxiu and her group returned to their parents' side. Those waiting to see this scene from a short distance were so surprised that they stood up.
Fortunately, about ten soldiers from the former Shuofang County blocked the way, preventing outsiders from getting close to Magistrate Wang's family.
"Xiuxiu is back?"
Upon seeing their daughter and son appear, Wang Zhixing and his wife, who were under the tree, stood up. Seeing that everyone who had gone had returned, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the servants hurriedly went to fetch water.
Zhou Yong and his group took the gifts from Lü Tianshou and the others and went back first, planning to return later.
"Father, Mother." Wang Wanxiu bowed to her parents and handed them the things she was carrying with a smile, saying, "These are some food that Young Master Lin gave to his daughter. Father and Mother, please have some with us later."
Before returning, Young Master Lin specially gave her this bag.
Wang Wanxiu's mother, Zhou, took the bag and smiled, saying, "Have you thanked Young Master Lin yet...? Oh, what's all this?"
Inside this strangely shaped bag was something equally strange, wrapped in what looked like oiled paper.
"Mother, this is how you eat the things Young Master Lin sent."
Wang Wanxiu pulled her mother to sit under a tree, smiling as she tore open a bag of biscuits for her. Zhou tried a piece, a smile appearing on her face, and said, "It tastes like sesame biscuits, but it's tastier than sesame biscuits."
Wang Wanxiu smiled and told her maid, Zhishu, to take some food and distribute it to the others.
Wang Zhixing also tried some, and indeed the taste was excellent, something he couldn't usually eat!
Seeing that his son Wang Haiqing looked absent-minded after returning home, he asked, "Did you see Young Master Lin this time?"
"Yes, Father."
"How was it? What did Young Master Lin say?"
"Well, son, I really don't know where to begin!"
Wang Haiqing's expression was complicated. He glanced at his sister. This trip to Earth had made him realize how vast the world was and how boundless the universe was.
He needs to slow down before he can begin to speak.
"Hehe." Zhishu, accompanying her mistress, said, "Master, Madam, we went to that island with Miss this time and saw so many things!"
"What do you have?" Zhou asked while eating a biscuit. The biscuit was very crumbly, but she carefully picked up and ate even the crumbs that had fallen on the ground.
Wang Wanxiu quickly opened a bottle of water and handed it to her mother.
"This cup...?" Zhou noticed the strange cup but didn't ask any further questions.
The maid, Zhishu, said, "What Miss mentioned before was a ship that could fly in the sky, a huge sea monster... Miss also saw houses built on the vast sea, supported by several iron pillars, thousands of meters deep! It's a pity I didn't go with Miss... Later, a fighter jet called Ju Sanwu flew over our heads, like thunder! We even waved to it."
Wang Haiqing said, "That fighter jet is different from Young Master Lin's."
He started explaining from the beginning, and his sister filled in the gaps when he didn't understand something.
After saying this, Wang Haiqing asked his father, "Young Master Lin asked my sister and me to ask you if the people here are willing to farm, grow flowers, and build roads for him. Young Master Lin will provide three meals a day and give us three taels of silver a month, or the equivalent in grain."
"They give you three meals a day, and only three ounces a month?!"
Wang Zhixing was surprised, and after asking carefully, he fell into deep thought.
"There are also monsters!" Zhishu suddenly said.
"What monster?"
"Not a monster."
Wang Wanxiu corrected the maid's words, saying, "Young Master Lin has elves by his side, as well as several demon immortals who cultivate, also called demons."
Wang Zhixing and his wife looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Wang Wanxiu said, "Young Master Lin is easygoing by nature. Those who are willing to work can go to the island with him. Those who are not willing to go will not be forced by Young Master Lin, and they can quit their jobs and come back at any time."
After listening, Wang Zhixing said, "I will discuss this with some of the village elders and gentry. I will tell them the truth about the monster... no, the demon immortal." He then said to his daughter, "Don't worry, of the more than 100,000 people who have fled here, some will surely be willing to go."
Wang Wanxiu and her brother got up to see their father off.
Soon after, the village elders, gentry, and Zhou Yong and others gathered not far away. Wang Wanxiu and her mother sat under a tree, listening to their dramatic and sometimes startling argument.
The existence of a demon on the island still frightened them, but Wang Wanxiu had said what needed to be said, and whether they went or not was up to them.
These are also Mr. Lin's original words.
Even without the Su sisters, who are both demons, there is still the giant octopus that Young Master Lin keeps. If they are afraid now, wouldn't they be even more afraid when they go to the island in the future?
……
Luofeng Mountain.
"Grandma, we're back!!"
Su Zhenzhen, carrying a bag, ran happily into a cave. A moment later, the cave disappeared, revealing a hidden valley where more than twenty foxes of varying sizes were either studying or playing.
Upon seeing Su Zhenzhen return, the fox demons rushed over, grabbing her clothes with their claws and asking, "Sister Zhenzhen, what did you bring back?"
"Where is Sister Yaoyao?"
"It's delicious!"
The foxes rummaged through the food, tearing it apart and eagerly devouring the snacks Su Zhenzhen had brought back. The aroma of the food made their mouths water.
Su Zhenzhen hurriedly grabbed a few bags and put them away. While the fox demons were making a ruckus, the tall and beautiful Su Zhuoyao walked into the valley with a smile. She first stopped the little fox demons from their mischief, and then they went together to pay their respects to their grandmother.
"It's good that you're back."
The old woman said with satisfaction, pulling Su Zhuoyao to sit down. She looked at her, then at Su Zhenzhen, and smiled, "Now that you've seen the outside world, are you satisfied?"
Su Zhenzhen was still quite excited, constantly talking about what she had seen and heard on the trip, and offering her mother-in-law some snacks to taste.
"This young master Lin is on the left and on the right," the old woman said meaningfully. "This young man must be very much to Zhenzhen's liking."
"certainly!"
Su Zhenzhen said with a smile, "Young Master Lin is such a good person. He treats my sister and me very well, gives us gifts, and even buys clothes and jewelry for my sister, Wanxiu, and me. My mother-in-law says that all men from outside the family are bad, but I don't think so. Young Master Lin is so kind!"
Su Zhuoyao smiled at the old woman and said, "Grandma, why don't we just marry her off to Young Master Lin!"
Su Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red, and she rushed towards her sister, scolding, "I was talking seriously with Grandma, and you're making fun of me! Su Xiaoyao, you're not my sister anymore!"
After the sisters' commotion, the little fox spirits finished their snacks and began scrambling for the snack bags and water bottles. The fox spirits moved like lightning, leaping and bounding through the valley, accompanied by the sounds of human laughter and the unique calls of foxes.
After the two sisters calmed down, Su Zhuoyao pushed her younger sister away and began to tidy her disheveled hair and clothes.
The old woman witnessed this scene, and her expression became somewhat complicated.
In the past, Su Zhuoyao didn't care about her appearance or clothing. She had lived in the mountains since she could remember, and the people around her were all simple-minded little demons. There was no distinction between men and women, and the jewelry she wore was just imitations of the peasant women who occasionally went into the mountains.
But now, Su Zhuoyao has begun to pay attention to her makeup and is slowly learning the charming manners that women should learn.
Once she truly falls in love with a man, even without anyone to guide her, she'll likely become the vixen the world scorns...
