I have the best bloodline

These native immortals were not particularly strong because the princess had deliberately set up an array, but they were still visitors from outer space, and the three earth immortals were afraid that these native immortals might bring some kind of poisonous fungus with them.

Therefore, upon seeing any living creature land, they didn't even bother to talk to it. They would first defeat it, then trap it inside the formation and examine it carefully. Once they were sure it didn't contain any poisonous bacteria, they would release it for Princess Wuxi to play with.

This time, a large black fish appeared. Before it could even see its surroundings clearly, the fish was stabbed by the three long spears of the Three Immortals, causing it to spit out its food.

"Uh"

The large black fish thrashed about after landing, looking bewildered at the three burly men with hostile expressions in front of it.

"Great Immortal, why have you captured me? I'm just a fish demon from the Wilderness, and a male with extremely ordinary flesh, sob sob sob."

Before the fish could finish its rant, its plump lips were stomped on by a foot, and the icy, sharp tip of a spear parted the blackfish's scales and pressed directly against its flesh.

"Cooperate with us if you don't want to become fish sashimi."

"Woo woo woo!" The blackfish opened its eyes frantically, expressing its submission.

"These celestial demons aren't so stubborn anymore," Su Yan remarked upon seeing this.

Su Yan had seen three of them before, but they were really stubborn. Even after witnessing their bodies being dissected by the Moon Rabbit physicians, they still argued back, completely arrogant, and spouted nonsense to threaten the most vicious bandit leader in the cultivation world: the Proud Insect Ancestor.

It's probably been dissolved by the green lake by now, right?

........................

Seeing that it was getting late, Princess Wuxi had no intention of continuing to fish out the native inhabitants of the Immortal Realm. She took out the giant spirit stone placed inside the pure gold base and stopped the fully automatic device for capturing weak native inhabitants of the Immortal Realm.

After Princess Wuxi finished doing everything, she took out two standard-issue spears from the Xia Yu army from her storage ring, stuck some fatty and lean meat on them, put them on the fire to roast, and then invited Su Yan to sit next to her and have a sip of hot tea.

In the snowy weather, Su Yan and the princess sat under the lush canopy of a tree, warming themselves by the fire, eating marinated honey-roasted meat, drinking hot tea, and watching the tadpole demon and black fish monster being beaten by the female official, who picked up a pot lid and whipped the two demons until they were unable to take care of themselves.

The princess wasn't in a hurry to ask the two demons any questions. Instead, she sat comfortably in her armchair, crossed her legs, held a cup of hot tea, and admired the snow scene while watching the two demons scream in agony.

If questioning were truly useful, then torture and soul-searching techniques would not exist in the cultivation world.

If you don't let them know how ruthless you are, they won't even know what death means.

"Push that black fish up."

Princess Wuxi raised her hand and pushed Su Yan aside, gesturing for him to move. The female official held the fish by the tail with her left hand and pinched the mouth of the large black tadpole with her right. She placed the black fish directly on the campfire grill, and a Nascent Soul stage guard stepped forward and began to rotate the grill.

The female official led the tadpoles to Su Yan's side and gestured for him to follow her to the side.

"Ask them separately. If the two demons give significantly different answers to the same question, they will be executed immediately," the female official explained to Su Yan.

"You even know how to use torture?"

Su Yan looked at the female official with surprise, not expecting that this gentle-looking official would also know these things.

The female official paused for a moment before replying, "Aside from my relatively ordinary cultivation level, I am quite proficient in astronomy, geography, literature, martial arts, and the arts of the bedroom."

The female officials serving the princess, aside from being unable to instruct her on cultivation methods, possessed master-level theoretical knowledge in all other areas, including the responsibility of interviewing the prince consort's nighttime business skills.

Therefore, the female official had mixed feelings when she met Su Yan, one of the candidates who could speak well.

It's not that she dislikes foxes; after all, as a Xia Yu person, the white-furred fox is already imprinted in her mind as an auspicious omen, and the nine-tailed fox is the most auspicious of all, with the Su family making it even more so.

Thinking that she might need to interview a prince consort who was half-blooded by the Su family and the Beihai Dragon Clan in the future, the female official was both afraid and worried. She was afraid that Su Yan would not come, and she was also worried that Su Yan, with his divine beast physique, would do something reckless to her.

"boom--"

Su Yan and the female official walked two miles through the forest to ensure that the two celestial demons could not communicate with each other. The female official raised her hand and threw down the tadpole demon that had rolled its eyes, took out a book of questions that had been prepared in advance, and began to question the tadpole demon.

Although the tadpole demon spoke in ancient demon script, and the pronunciation of the words differed from the language of the cultivation world, the current language of the cultivation world was derived from the ancient demon script. As long as the tadpole demon controlled its speaking speed and repeated itself a few times, Su Yan and the female official could still understand it by referring to the context.

The questions in the questionnaire were not difficult; they were mostly common-sense questions.

How do you cultivate? What are the customs and traditions in the Immortal Realm? Are there any unified major powers? What is the purchasing power of spirit stones in the Immortal Realm?

The tadpoles answered if they could, but if they couldn't, upon seeing the female official's eyes flashing with murderous intent, they would honestly admit they didn't know and dare not make things up.

The tadpole's explanations of the immortal realm's cultural knowledge, including "external alchemy, internal alchemy, and nightmare suppression," left Su Yan completely bewildered.

As its name suggests, the external alchemy method requires no cultivation; one can achieve immortality and carefree living simply by consuming elixirs and miraculous medicines.

The internal alchemy method is for self-refinement, and it is currently the mainstream cultivation method in the cultivation world. The mainstream cultivation method in the immortal realm is exactly the same as that in the cultivation world.

To Su Yan's astonishment, the Nightmare Suppression Technique was one of the mainstream cultivation methods in the Immortal Realm, but there were also some special restrictions to cultivating it. The tadpole demon was unaware of these things; with its newly acquired Golden Core stage cultivation, it had no way of knowing anything about them.

"Is that so?"

Seeing that the female official had finished her questioning, Su Yan asked on a whim, "Do you know about the Flowing Cloud Sect?"

"Liuyun Sect?"

Tadpole Demon was slightly taken aback, and to Su Yan's surprise, nodded and said, "I know! The Flowing Cloud Sect is a sect that makes a living by digging up ancient sites in the Du Kuang Wilderness. They often visit our family's ancestral graves, but we can't beat the Flowing Cloud Daoist because of his Immortal Realm cultivation."

The Flowing Cloud Sect may have a respectable name, but in the Immortal Realm, it is actually a low-class sect that specializes in doing shady, disreputable, and despicable businesses that cannot be openly advertised and are despised by others.

In the region where the Black Fish Monster and the Tadpole Demon reside, the Flowing Cloud Sect remains a sect of considerable power.

It is said that they often capture living beings from small worlds, which are blessed lands that evolve on their own after the fall of immortals, and sell them. The upper family of Liuyun Sect is said to be a very large evil force.

As for how powerful the tadpole demon was, no one knew. In the Immortal Realm, the Golden Core stage was considered poor, much like the tenant farmers in the cultivation world outside of the Xia Dynasty, whose livelihood depended on the weather.

Much of the information it knew came from the boasting of its elders or companions.

Therefore, when the tadpole demon spoke, because it was terrified of being beaten by the female official, it cautiously used the words "it is said" or "I have heard" in many of its sentences, for fear that if it didn't match the truth, it would be beaten again by the female official with a pot lid, or cooked into a common dish in the immortal realm by the barbarian in front of it:

Wasabi Salad with Black Tadpoles

The forest frog clan doesn't have much of a future in the immortal realm. When they are young, they are the snacks that cultivators eat with their drinks, and when they grow up, they can be used to make sweet soup.

"So I really have nothing to do with those legendary three-legged toads. Great immortals, please have pity on me and spare me a couple of beatings, okay? I guarantee that what I just said is the truth."

Chapter 517 The Fox's Scam (Third Update)

"Yes, just send it back. It's not necessary, and it's nothing too important. Grandpa doesn't need to come all the way to Qingqiu Kingdom."

Su Yan and the female official returned with the tadpole demon. As soon as they arrived, they saw Princess Wuxi standing inside the array formed by the Earth Immortals, holding a communication jade in her hand and sending a message to the Third Prince of the Xia Yu Dynasty.

The Xia Yu Dynasty's higher-ups probably don't need to activate the device that allows passage between immortals and mortals, since Emperor Wusheng has already mastered the Heavenly Return to Ruins passage and can travel to the Immortal Realm at any time through it.

However, after Princess Wuxi confirmed the feasibility of the device and shared it with Su Yan, she felt satisfied after seeing Su Yan's stunned expression. Then, she made a telepathic message to her grandfather to inform him of the current situation.

Inform them of the special purpose of the teleportation device.

While the Immortal-Mortal Teleportation Gate in one's own hands requires a large amount of spirit stones to operate, the teleportation gate in the Xia Yu Dynasty does not require spirit stones to operate. It can be connected to the artificial earth veins and the power of the Undying Kingdom race can be used to activate the Immortal-Mortal Teleportation Gate device.

In this way, the Xia Yu Dynasty only needed to build a few dozen such teleportation devices to continuously plunder the native inhabitants or resources of the immortal realm. It was all free stuff, so why wouldn't they take it?

Maybe we'll find something good?

"Okay, that's fine!"

Upon seeing Su Yan return, Princess Wuxi disconnected the communication jade and instructed the female official to return the teleportation device to her storage ring, saying:

"Let's call it a day! It's too late. Let's go back to our clan's territory first, so your mother won't come to my room again and nag about bringing back some Immortal Realm natives tomorrow for interrogation and then comparing them with the questionnaire. Either way, we'll have to cut up a few Immortal Realm demons to roast."

Princess Wuxi spoke with a teasing smile, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the black fish monster and the tadpole demon, almost scaring the two demons to death.

After the previous beating, the two demons now kneel down whenever they see Princess Wuxi.

………………

After greeting their great-aunt, Su Yan and the princess returned smoothly to the Su clan's ancestral land.

There is no light in the clan right now. Everyone is in the library, investigating information and intelligence related to the [Nest]. Even the Fox Mother and Auntie have been forced to work overtime in the library by the Su Clan Ancestor.

Su Yan returned to the new house, bid farewell to Princess Wuxi, and agreed to go fishing for natives again after breakfast the next day.

"Go play in the pool by yourselves."

Princess Wuxi glanced at the female official dragging two demons, casually gave an order, and then walked towards her bedroom.

With a flick of her left hand and a toss of her right, the female official tossed the two celestial demons into the unfinished viewing pool.

The black fish monster hopped around on the dry land, raised its head slightly, and looked at the female official, saying, "Great Immortal, there's no water in this pond! The bottom is all pebbles."

"If you need water, carry it yourself; if you need a house, build it yourself."

The female official replied indifferently, flicked her sleeves, and followed the princess to prepare to serve her as she took a bath.

The black fish monster and the tadpole demon stared at each other, splashing around in the pool that hadn't yet been filled with water.

........................

When Su Yan returned to the dormitory, she saw Jiao Nanwu sitting in front of the desk, looking through something.

Merfolk store up nutrients in autumn and reproduce in winter. They are a race without worldly desires in normal times. All their worldly desires are concentrated in winter. When spring comes or the stored fat is used up, they will return to a state without worldly desires.

"Little fox!"

Upon seeing Su Yan return, Jiao Nanwu's eyes lit up and she said, "You've come back just in time. The monkeys have just brought over the tonic soup. Drink it while it's hot."

As Jiao Nanwu spoke, she closed the manual on the table outlining the precautions for the reproduction of the merfolk, and took out a steaming earthenware pot of merfolk-made tonic soup from her storage ring.

"Sister Nanwu, did you stew a whole cow?"

Su Yan, in human form, stared in astonishment at the earthenware pot that was almost as tall as herself. She could hardly imagine what was inside that required such a large pot to be placed in the fire and simmered into a large pot.

"Hahaha"

Jiao Nanwu looked embarrassed and gave a couple of awkward laughs as she explained somewhat hesitantly, "Actually, it shouldn't be such a big pot. I accidentally forgot that the Merfolk's stewing pot is enough for forty people. But it shouldn't be a big problem because of the Dragon Clan's strong physique. I was a little worried that it wouldn't be enough, so I instructed the spirit monkeys to stew an extra pot to keep as a backup."

Su Yan tiptoed, lifted the lid of the earthenware pot, and peeked into the dark medicinal soup inside. He could vaguely see some root-like things thicker than his own legs. As for whether it was tree roots or something else being stewed inside, Su Yan had no desire to find out.

"Throw them all away! I'm still young and don't need them." Su Yan subtly took two steps back, moving away from the earthenware pot.

"Huh? Throw it all away? It's so expensive. Don't you really want to try it? My mother says that if you water a withered tree root, it will come back to life in no time, and the tree will grow roots that can travel twenty miles."

"Throw it away!"

"All right!"

Jiao Nanwu seemed a little reluctant. He picked up the bottom of the earthenware pot with his palm, walked outside, pointed the pot at the sky, and then threw it into the pond in the neighboring yard with a strong effort.

The viewing pond in the neighboring courtyard has only been roughly excavated so far. It is the last project to be completed in the overall renovation. The current purpose of the viewing pond is to store the garbage generated during the renovation process.

Although Samena Mist is a bit slow-witted, she doesn't litter.

"Little fox, don't move." Jiao Nanwu closed the dormitory door again and ran to Su Yan's bathtub. "I'll arrange everything. You just need to encourage me."

During the Mermaid Winter Festival, hundreds of merfolk usually file in, each spending a relatively new first week with their respective partners in their clan's territory.
