Chapter 311: Chapter 192: Got It_1
The starry sky illuminated the Cave Sky Pool brightly. Gazing at the heavens strewn with stars, Qian Yixiu realized for the first time that the sentence she crafted back in elementary school was not quite fitting. It should not have read, "The stars in the sky are like gemstones embedded in the firmament," but rather, "The stars in the sky are like light bulbs dangling from the firmament." Although not as beautiful, it was much more vivid.
She rubbed her sore neck, tied the pocket filled with lotus seeds and the pouch with pearls securely, and placed them into her backpack. She then took out some snacks and ate them by the spring water, sitting by the peach tree at the edge and looking at the golden lotuses in the Jade Pool.
From deep within the Peach Grove, Monkey Brother, carrying Monkey Sister on his back, leaped over. He set Monkey Sister down beside Qian Yixiu and jumped into the pool. In no time, he surfaced with a four- or five-pound red carp in his grasp. With a flash of red, Monkey Brother tossed the fish onto the shore.
Seeing this, White Wolf hurried over, pinned the flipping fish down with one hoof, and started to eat.
Monkey Sister drooled at the sight but dared not approach White Wolf to fight for the food.
In no time at all, Monkey Brother brought a clam ashore. He sat beside Monkey Sister, pried the clam open, and fed the meat into her mouth, which made her eyes well up with delight.
This Monkey Sister, she was still a little monkey made of water.
Monkey Brother then took out the pearl from the clam and gave it to Qian Yixiu. The pearl was not large, but still round and smooth. However, at that moment Qian Yixiu did not pay much attention to this rather worthless pearl but felt rather emotional instead. Monkey Brother had grown up, he had become quite the gentleman. Not only did he know how to cherish his little sister, but he was also attentive to his big sister.
Watching White Wolf relishing the fish, Qian Yixiu genuinely desired to build a bonfire and grill a fish. But on second thought, she gave up the idea; the animals here were all sentient, and she didn’t want to harm them casually.
Even on summer nights she couldn’t just rest on the ground, so Qian Yixiu took out a little cotton-padded coat she had left here three years ago, spread it on the ground, and sat on it, leaning against the peach tree where she fell asleep.
She was awakened by a chorus of birds chirping. Rubbing her eyes, she saw it was already broad daylight. The birds here were especially beautiful, with colorful feathers and melodious, pleasing songs. She recognized only a few common species, such as sparrows and swallows, and had no idea what kind these were.
Qian Yixiu went to the stream, freshened up briefly, and ate some snacks. Then she walked over to where the pearls were hidden, removed the stone covering them, and took out her backpack.
She held the Purple Big Pearl in her hand and thought of the saying "dragon’s eye." Suddenly it felt as if the pearl truly looked like an eye, staring unblinkingly at her.
She shivered with fright and quickly stuffed the pearl back into the pouch.
She pondered the Old Monk’s words for a few days, and the first half she had kind of figured out. "True Dragon" probably referred to the Emperor, and "Return to Heaven" likely meant death. "True Dragon Return to Heaven," could it mean the passing of the Emperor? Perhaps it did, or perhaps not.
As for the second half of the sentence, how Zi Zhu would appear, she could not fathom it, no matter how hard she tried.
She looked at the other three Big Pearls, then she took out the white pearl and the pale pink pearl, and stuffed the pouches with the Purple Big Pearl and the pale blue pearl back into her backpack. She then took out another pouch filled with little pearls, poured half of them into another pouch, and placed that pouch back into her backpack as well. She packed the backpack tightly into the hole in the ground, then sealed it with a stone.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, half the treasures go into the Cave Sky Pool, and half she would take home.
After putting the pearls into her own backpack, she went to pick tea by the tea bushes.
This time, she brought a large bamboo basket, aiming to fill it up and make the Demi Immortal happy.
She picked tea while observing the playful House of Animals in the distance. Ever since White Wolf had a full stomach, the House of Animals had become more harmonious, with Little Monkey Sister clinging onto Monkey Brother and frolicking with Benben.
The little squirrels were no longer afraid of them, all standing to one side, watching them play. The "Necklace Squirrel" even stood beside Dashan, sitting on the ground with its little paws covering its mouth in laughter.
This truly was an Imaginary land of joy and plenty.
Qian Yixiu filled her bamboo basket and asked Monkey Brother to climb the trees and break off a few Peach Tree Branches to tie up and take with her the next day.
After lunch, she began preparing. Qian Yixiu pulled Monkey Brother aside and, with a mix of talk and gestures, explained the location of the place, how a closer and safer route could be taken, and went over a variety of cautions and so on.
She then fastened the special waist pouch she had prepared around Monkey Brother’s waist, filled with several stones the size of an adult’s fist. Throwing stones was Monkey Brother’s specialist weapon.
