Chapter 168: Chapter 167 Visiting the Territory (First Irregular Update)

Mu Ying had taken the Luoxia Team into the Mushroom Man Dungeon for a tour.

During the day, the Mushroom People hardly came out, instead hiding in the dungeon, busy shooting films online.

"Wow! It’s so beautiful here," Li Xihe said, looking at the glowing plants inside the dungeon.

The others also found it quite extraordinary—a colorful underground world they had never seen before.

Mu Ying lifted a Mushroom Man fledgling from the bushes—a little guy pretending to be a serious mushroom—and sprayed a mist of water onto its cap.

The little fellow, having gained a benefit, obediently released a spore.

"Okay, give each of them a Communication Spore and I’ll give you another mist of water," Mu Ying flicked its cap.

The little guy stopped pretending, opened its eyes to size up a few from the Luoxia Team, shook its cap, and a few more spores flew out, landing on them.

"These are Communication Spores. Mushroom People don’t speak; they use these as a medium for mental communication. You can think of it as them going online, like being in a group chat," Mu Ying explained. "But you guys need to control your thoughts, otherwise, it’s very easy to expose secrets."

As soon as the others contacted the spores, they heard a message from the little mushroom in Mu Ying’s hand: "Hello there!"

"Hello," Li Xihe said, her eyes sparkling.

"What play are you guys working on lately? Can we come and watch?" Mu Ying asked. It had been a long time since she last visited, and she wasn’t very familiar with the current situation.

"The Overbearing CEO Who Fell in Love with Me After His Fierce Wife Ran Away with the Ball," the Little Mushroom Man said, shaking its cap.

Mu Ying: "..."

Were the players in the Mushroom Man Theater just messing around?

"Want to take a look? Today is the last rehearsal; the official performance for ticket sales is tomorrow," the Little Mushroom Man warmly invited.

Li Xihe looked at Mu Ying expectantly, and Mu Ying couldn’t find the words to decline; she really feared leading the kids astray.

The group entered the Mushroom Man Theater. There was a mushroom-shaped house at the entrance now, selling mushroom specialties cultivated by the Mushroom People at a discounted price.

"Mushrooms with a meat flavor? Strawberries-flavored mushrooms? Can these really be eaten?" Wu Qingshan raised a soulful question.

"They can be eaten, and they’re actually quite tasty. Let’s go to my Plantation for lunch. I’ll cook some for you to try. They treated me well last night, so I should return the favor and let you taste the delicacies of Qingshan Town."

Entering the theater, the audience seats were filled with Mushroom People’s mushroom heads, and the performers on stage were transmitting their constructed mental images directly into everyone’s minds.

The play had reached a point where the heroine, along with her twelve children, was living in a remote little town. The stunningly handsome CEO, who had fallen in love with this woman he had met just once, had finally found her. It was moving, it was heart-wrenching...

Twelve children at once, what sort of outrageous setting was this?

However, the Mushroom People in the audience didn’t find it excessive at all.

"Only twelve? Blow a spore out, and a whole bunch of mushrooms can grow. This CEO is no good!"

Mu Ying: "..."

She wished she could cover Xiao Xi’s ears.

"Hahaha," Li Luoxia laughed till tears appeared, "I’m sorry, is this a comedy? Or is it a female version of The Calabash Brothers?"

"It’s getting late; let’s go have dinner," Mu Ying dragged everyone away, regretting her decision to attend the rehearsal.

Teleporting to her own Plantation, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn’t last a minute before she tensed up again.

Was there something off about the weather in the Plantation?

It was already autumn, and many trees outside were shedding their yellowing leaves.

Yet look at her garden, the flowers were all in bloom, the grass had grown significantly taller, and the trees were lush with greenery. Where was any sign of autumn?

Those peach trees, when she had left the day before yesterday, had only a few branches. It had only been a few days. How could the flowers have bloomed already?

And that patch of mint, which had just been harvested recently, should have been bare; what was with all that green?

Something was off with her plantation, and others had noticed it too.

Mu Ying scratched her head, "We might have gone the wrong way, let’s just eat at my breeding camp!"

Saying that, she then teleported away with Li Luoxia and the others.

Li Luoxia and her group knew something was amiss, but they had an understanding among themselves not to ask unnecessary questions, much like how Mu Ying didn’t pry when she visited Li Luoxia’s territory. Respect was mutual, so they didn’t expose anything.

Li Xihe was very sensible and excitedly clapped her hands, "We can see the rabbits now!"

"I’ve heard that you’ve been raising magic beasts in your breeding camp, why not take us for a tour?"

"Sure, sure, sure," Mu Ying said with a chuckle, briefly introducing the different areas and functions of the breeding camp.

Seeing Liu Luoluo and Zheng Jing standing by the chicken coop, she waved them over, "Luoluo, Zheng Jing, this is the Luoxia Village inspection team visiting our breeding camp. Why don’t you guys show them around? I need to borrow the kitchen here and will cook something delicious for lunch."

After finishing, she introduced them to the Luoxia Team, "These are the two in charge of the breeding camp; they know the situation here best. Let them give you the tour. I need to prepare how to win over your appetites."

"Go ahead, but if it’s not good, we won’t let it slide," Li Luoxia joked.

How could it possibly not be delicious?

Liu Luoluo swallowed her saliva, having been treated by Mu Ying before.

Mu Ying walked towards the kitchen, still pondering the peculiarities of the plantation, with a few guesses already forming in her mind.

But there was no rush at that moment.

Li Luoxia and her group were considerate, and she couldn’t neglect them; she had to entertain them first.

She entered the kitchen, closed the door, and took out her stored ingredients: eggs from the fire-breathing chicken, prime cuts of pork from the wild boar, steaks from her own Old Yellow Bull, rabbit legs from the Jumping Rabbit, and some vegetables and fruits stored in the storage pouch. Of course, Mushroom Man’s mushrooms were also included.

She used up almost all her ingredients—it was definitely the highest standard.

With a wave of her magic wand, the ingredients began to move.

As the ingredients moved on their own, Mu Ying multitasked, making a long table and some utensils out of wood.

Liu Luoluo and Zheng Jing took the Luoxia Team to ride the Jumping Rabbits, watched the fire-breathing chickens, shared Gungun’s anecdote about hatching eggs, and finally went to see the Petrified Lizard.

"That’s about it, I can already smell something delicious; aren’t you guys hungry?" Liu Luoluo looked in the direction of the kitchen.

"Let’s see what delicious things Mu Ying has made!" Li Luoxia decided.

Walking over to the kitchen side, they saw a somewhat roughly made long table outside, but the dishes on it were anything but rough.

Fried, boiled, grilled, stewed: vegetables, meat, fruits, and beverages, they had it all.

The table was already set with many dishes, and Mu Ying was still bringing more out.

Li Luoxia touched her nose, comparing it to the single roasted whole lamb they had eaten the night before, this was indeed much more lavish.

"Come on, try my cooking," Mu Ying gestured grandly, as if she was masterfully directing a battle.
