Gu Wenyu successfully signed the contract with Lingyu, and she put away the contract in a good mood.
"Okay, we will be a family from now on. My name is Gu Wenyu. Please take good care of me in the future."
"Humph~" Lingyu turned away. Unlike Huohuo and Tulao, she seemed to be unable to accept the reality.
Gu Wenyu didn't particularly care. The contract was signed anyway, so Lingyu couldn't cause any trouble. After all, he had just been beaten violently, so it was normal to have a little temper.
Gu Wenyu even injected a strengthening force into Lingyu to help her repair the injuries from the violent beating.
The fire transformed into a human form, and he scolded Ling Yu in a dogged manner: "Hey! Pay attention to your attitude, be polite to Lord Wen Yu!"
Lingyu ignored Huohuo, but didn't say anything else. He didn't know whether it was because he felt Gu Wenyu's strengthening power that he softened, or because he was really afraid that Gu Wenyu would be angry, so he didn't dare to speak.
At this time, the surrounding trees were disappearing one by one, and the bald gourd turned back into a sapling. It trotted back to Gu Wenyu clumsily.
"Nice job!" Gu Wenyu patted its trunk as a compliment.
Ling Yu glanced at the cute little sapling. She couldn't believe it was such a little guy who had just trapped her.
Gu Wenyu took the initiative to introduce: "This is Wuhua Fantasy Phoebe. Don't underestimate it. It is the first brother in the fantasy realm."
Lingyu had obviously heard of this magical demon tree. She murmured: "Wuhua...Fantasy nanmu?" It turned out that this was Wuhua phantom nanmu. It was not a loss to plant it in this guy's hands.
"Well, its name is Bald Cup, and it's also my monster." Gu Wenyu introduced with some pride.
"..." Lingyu cast a sympathetic look at Bald Lao.
The bald kid didn't notice at all. He only heard Gu Wenyu praising it for its awesomeness, and its two little leaves trembled happily.
He Xi put away the creatures he painted and looked at Gu Wenyu with a smile: "Congratulations."
"Hey, hey, thanks for your help, I'll treat you to roast whole lamb later." Gu Wenyu patted He Xi's shoulder generously.
He Xi's eyes changed slightly, but they were quickly hidden by him. He nodded seemingly naturally and responded with a smile: "Okay."
"Go back first." Gu Wenyu looked at Huo Huo, "Get ready to go."
"Roar!" Huo Huo didn't hesitate at all and immediately transformed into his true form, then leaned down and waited for Gu Wenyu and others to come up.
Gu Wenyu took Bald Ladle and sat on Huo Huo's back, and He Xi followed suit and found a comfortable position to sit down.
Lingyu thought for a while and was about to follow, but was stopped by Gu Wenyu.
Gu Wenyu pointed to the goat that was bitten to death by Ling Yu not far away and said, "Ling Yu, take that goat with you and follow us."
Lingyu: "I..."
Gu Wenyu smiled as kindly as possible and said, "Let Huohuo cook you a roasted whole lamb later."
Lingyu pouted. Although she was extremely reluctant, due to the existence of the contract, she could not disobey Gu Wenyu's order. She also thought that she would have a share in roasting the whole sheep, so she transformed into her true form and took the goat in her mouth.
"Let's go." When Gu Wenyu saw that Ling Yu had brought their dinner, he patted Huo Huo's back, indicating that he could leave.
"Roar!" Huohuo rushed out with a swish, and Lingyu flew into the sky with the goat in his mouth to follow.
The road chosen by Huo Huo was inspected by He Xi. There was no lair of powerful monsters on the road. There were two monsters, Huo Huo and Ling Yu, and there were no blind little monsters looking for death.
When everyone returned to the cave, He Xi and Gu Wenyu got off Huo Huo's back, and Huo Huo and Ling Yu returned to their human form.
Ling Yu looked unhappy and was about to take a rest.
Gu Wenyu turned around and pointed at the goat that was bitten to death by Lingyu and said: "Huohuo, Lingyu, you two go handle the goat and wash it clean. Let's go back and eat the roasted whole lamb."
Ling Yu looked puzzled: Didn't you ask Huo Huo to cook roasted whole lamb for me? Why do I have to work too?
Huo Huo seemed to understand Ling Yu's eyes. He waved to Ling Yu resignedly, "Let's go. You can't believe what the master says. You will slowly understand in the future."
Lingyu:?
When Huo Huo saw that Ling Yu didn't move, he jumped up and down to Ling Yu's side and said generously: "At worst, I'll help you carry the goat this time, and I'll let you carry it when you come back."
Lingyu's voice rose three degrees: "Why should I carry a goat!"
Huohuo winked at her, "Don't ask, the master will be angry if you don't go! It's terrible for the master to be angry..."
Lingyu: "..."
Gu Wenyu didn't seem to hear Huo Huo's complaints. She patted He Xi and said with a smile: "Let's go back and wait for dinner."
The two of them walked back together, with Bald Lao following closely behind.
Gu Wenyu looked back at the sapling, and began to make calculations in his mind: Although this sapling cannot transform, it cannot be left idle, otherwise Huohuo and Lingyu will feel unbalanced and have to find some work for it.
!
Gu Wenyu not only hired child labor, but also exploited child labor, and even gave himself "reasonable" excuses.
"Bald Ladle, can your broomstick branches still grow?" Gu Wenyu looked at the branches on the sapling's head.
The leaves of the bald gourd trembled, and then dozens of long branches quickly grew on the head. The head was no longer bald in an instant, but looked like a small snake with a moving head.
He Xi looked at the twisted and twisting branch of Bald Lao, and felt that it looked familiar. He thought for a while, and it seemed that it was from Western mythology: "Medusa?"
The corner of Gu Wenyu's mouth twitched, and he was a little uncomfortable with Bald Lao's new look, but he still brazenly praised: "It's amazing! Let Huohuo teach you how to wash dishes in the future, and you will definitely do a great job!"
Having said that, Gu Wenyu wanted to reach out and pat the bald tree trunk as usual, but for a moment he had no place to start, so he had to pat the twisting branches gently, "Come on! Work hard..."
When Bald Ladle heard this, the two small leaves trembled, and the branches all over his head were also twisting rapidly.
"Okay, Master!" A young and excited child's voice was transmitted into Gu Wenyu's mind through the spiritual link.
"Well..." Gu Wenyu continued to walk forward calmly. She pulled He Xi, who was watching the excitement, and motioned for him to stop looking.
He Xi glanced sideways at Gu Wenyu, feeling that he had learned something again. He waved his hand and threw out a few talismans, and immediately several familiar faces appeared in front of him.
"Woof woof woof!" The two boys jumped up and down enthusiastically, looking at He Xi with bright eyes.
He Xi waved his hand and said, "Go and pick up some dry firewood and come back."
"Woof woof woof!" The two boys didn't know whether they understood or not, and ran away like the wind.
Thinking about it, there seems to be nothing wrong, so we are just waiting for dinner.
Gu Wenyu and He Xi, two slave owners who exploited the working people, slowly returned to the cave and began to practice separately.
There is enough force in the Mountain and River Diagram, and cultivation is much faster than in the outside world. Naturally, the two of them will not waste time. The right path is to use all the time they have to cultivate.
Even Bald Lao dug a hole to bury himself and took root in the cave to practice.
