The yellow weasel had completely ensnared Liu Dazhuang in its illusions.
Every time Liu Dazhuang successfully produced a few dung balls and felt a surge of pride, the yellow weasel would break his illusion.
Upon waking and seeing his accomplishments, Liu Dazhuang teetered on the brink of collapse.
Then, he would be hypnotized by the yellow weasel, falling back into the illusion and gleefully pushing dung.
An Nuan praised the yellow weasel.
When it came to tormenting people, he certainly had his ways!
“You truly are a little genius!”
“Hehe, I am indeed a genius. Even within our large family, geniuses like me are rare! Don’t be too surprised, or too awestruck, when you meet my family later. Although we are all Great Yellow Immortals, we are very low-key.”
Fu Yunting asked, “Is your clan numerous?”
“It’s alright, not too many. But people used to respect us quite a bit, and they never hunted us, so we’ve thrived. Human food isn't to our taste, but it’s certainly beautiful, and there are many varieties. I like it very much!”
Though the yellow weasel claimed it wasn’t to its taste, its eyes sparkled.
If someone gave him food right now, they would become his sworn brother!
Fu Yunting gave him two cherries.
The yellow weasel immediately stretched its neck, opened its mouth in surprise, and looked at Fu Yunting with immense gratitude.
Fu Yunting said, “These two are good ones, not spoiled.”
“Ah~~ You’re such a good person!”
The yellow weasel grabbed the two cherries and popped them into its mouth.
Cool, sweet, and with a hint of tartness.
The crisp, refreshing texture was absolutely intoxicating.
“Huanghuang hasn’t eaten such fresh fruit in a long time. You’re a great person, Huanghuang blesses you!”
A blessing from a Great Yellow Immortal was quite rare.
But Fu Yunting didn't care for it.
He was a Corpse King. What need did he have for the blessing of a silly elk?
“Huanghuang wishes you a long life, a happy marriage, and many descendants!”
Fu Yunting happily gifted him a box of cherries.
“Don’t be polite, take them all! I have more if you finish these.”
“You are truly a great benefactor; all the gods will bless you.”
Fu Yunting held An Nuan’s hand tightly and smiled, “I’ve heard that Great Yellow Immortals are very efficacious.”
“So, do you wish for a long life, or for many descendants?”
“I still wish for a happy marriage the most.”
An Nuan’s cheeks flushed, and she slipped her hand into Fu Yunting’s pocket.
With his mouth full of cherries, the Great Yellow Immortal spat out over a dozen pits with a sputtering sound.
“Huanghuang is too happy! Huanghuang likes these, and also strawberries, bananas, and big apples!”
Fu Yunting replied, “Alright, from now on, you’ll come with us, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to eat them.”
The Great Yellow Immortal’s eyes gleamed.
Such good people!
He had finally met two good people!
The Great Yellow Immortal was so happy he could have cried.
As they entered the rugged mountain forest, the Great Yellow Immortal let out a few cries.
Several furry figures emerged from the mountains and the earth.
“Er Mao!”
“Second Brother.”
“Uncle Er!”
“You old second, you’re finally back!”
Hundreds of yellow weasels scampered down from the mountain.
An Nuan and Fu Yunting didn’t even have a place to stand and had to float in mid-air.
Then, the yellow weasel clan completely took over the ground, with over eight hundred yellow weasels huddling together, crying mournfully.
“Second, you’re finally back, we thought we wouldn’t see you again!”
“Second Brother, why were you so foolish? We would have been heartbroken if you had been captured too!”
“Er Mao! If you run off again, I’ll break your legs!”
Er Mao chuckled, “Big Sister, you wouldn’t really break my legs!”
“Hmph, I wouldn’t, but I can tell your brother-in-law to break your legs.”
The simple-minded brother-in-law smiled from the side, with an expression that said, “I’m willing, leave it to me.”
How much animosity could there be usually?
An Nuan was more interested in the Great Yellow Immortal’s name.
Er Mao!
Why were all their names so interesting!
Oh, right, he wasn’t human!
Er Mao produced Wang Dazhuang, “Look! I found this enemy! I’ve finally avenged Old Fourth!”
The yellow weasel family wailed.
An Nuan could no longer tell if they were moved or in admiration.
Their round, big eyes collectively sparkled, dazzlingly so!
“Everyone, I have one more thing to announce! And that is them!”
Er Mao pointed at An Nuan and Fu Yunting.
“We owe the capture of this cunning and cruel human to these two!”
“I’ve already made an agreement with them. I’ll take care of this piece of trash, Wang Dazhuang, and they’ll provide me with the opportunity to transform, but I’ll have to live where they do.”
The yellow weasels fell silent.
The atmosphere felt ominous…
An Nuan couldn’t tell if they agreed or disagreed; their dark eyes were inscrutable.
Big Sister stretched her neck and said, “The opportunity to transform? Such a good opportunity is only for you? How can you be so ungrateful!”
Big Sister’s Husband added, “Exactly, you brat, you can’t forget your roots.”
After speaking, he slapped Er Mao across the face and then chuckled secretly.
Heh heh, satisfying!
An Nuan chuckled, what a loving family…
Big Sister said, “Er Mao, you’re going on a grand adventure, but you can’t abandon your wife and children!”
“A man can’t just think of himself! You must bring your wife and children with you!”
“Also, are you sure who you’re dealing with?”
“Don’t forget, Old Fourth was deceived by humans, which led to his unfortunate fate.”
“Sister only has seventy-eight siblings left. You can’t do anything reckless!”
Er Mao took out more than half a box of cherries and roared:
“They are good people, because they gave me this!”
The yellow weasels paused, their necks extending as they sniffed the scent from the box.
Wow!
Good people, definitely good people!
The yellow weasels erupted in thunderous applause.
“They are truly good people!”
“Er Mao, you’re so fortunate to have met good people!”
“Our Er Mao is a bit foolish, but his luck is truly good.”
“That’s right, my second brother is the child of destiny, the best second brother!”
An Nuan was so embarrassed she was digging at her shoes with her toes.
A bunch of yellow weasels, how could they make her so embarrassed!
Er Mao nodded vigorously, “Ancestor said that fools have foolish blessings, and silly elk have blessings too!”
“Brothers and sisters, cousins and sisters-in-law, all you relatives, I am about to embark on a long journey. Bless me, protect me!”
“May you transform into human form soon!”
“May you become a Great Yellow Immortal soon!”
“May your intelligence grow, deeper than the sea and higher than the mountains!”
An Nuan felt that Big Sister’s blessing was the most suitable for Er Mao.
But she hadn't gauged the degree correctly.
This wish, it was estimated, would not be fulfilled for a million years.
After the yellow weasel clan finished their praises, Big Sister pointed to a cave.
“Before you depart, you must see the ancestor. Humans, you are welcome to join us.”
