Chapter 713: Chapter 347: A Place to Live (For the Supportive Fans of the Novel +)_1

Next, they occasionally spotted roe deer, badgers, foxes, wild bison, wolves, tigers, leopards, and dholes. These animals thrived here, living happily. But the very next moment of leisure might give way to a brutal battle, a stark manifestation of nature’s law of survival of the fittest.

Although this place was not far from human settlements, it felt incredibly remote and full of endless mystery.

Qian Yixiu felt like she was watching "Animal World" from a previous life, except instead of sitting in front of a TV, she was now experiencing it in person.

These animals seemed merely curious about them, the outsiders, unlike the creatures of Xishi Mountain who seemed eager to rush over and devour them.

They could also spot Lingzhi mushrooms on trees, and due to the not too dense grass, occasionally they would spot ginseng leaves. However, Qian Yixiu no longer needed to risk going down for those Lingzhi and ginseng. She was here just to look around and have fun.

Suddenly, Liang Jinzhao asked Pearl Kid, "Son, if this little house of yours can fly in the sky, can it fly in the water too?"

Pearl Kid gave him a scornful look and said, "Do you even need to ask? A clamshell lives in the water. Once it enters the water, it’s like returning home, and it’s much faster than this."

A gleam appeared in Liang Jinzhao’s eyes, and he pursued further, "Can it go to the sea as well?"

Pearl Kid nodded. "Of course, a thousand years ago, my old home was in the sea."

Good heavens, this Crystal Clam isn’t just a plane, but also a submarine. Qian Yixiu was somewhat flustered.

Liang Jinzhao said excitedly, "You can still stay with us for nine years. With this crystal house and by bringing Monkey Brother along, we can stealthily take the enemy’s treasures and, in the shortest time, create the best weapons, the best ships. Actually, our Daqian ships are already advanced, but by learning from others, we can make them even better. Then what does the Great Qian Kingdom have to fear from lifting the maritime ban?"

Qian Yixiu looked at Liang Jinzhao with respect and nodded, "Yes..." Mimicking and cloning are also skills. It’s foolish not to take shortcuts that are available. As long as we grow stronger, this time, this nation will not be bullied by others joining forces against it.

She continued to inspire Uncle Liang, "Actually, humans are the smartest. Not only can they make cannons and bird guns, they might even create vehicles that can fly in the sky like this Crystal Clam, and big ships that run underwater."

Wu Ming laughed, "The benefactress has a wild imagination. How is that possible?"

Liang Jinzhao said thoughtfully, "It’s not a matter of not being able to do it, it’s a matter of not thinking of it. Even if we can’t do it in our generation, our next generation, the generation after that, or even the generation after that might just be able to."

Qian Yixiu silently gave Liang Jinzhao a thumbs up. She glanced at Pearl Kid again—wasn’t bringing them back here more about helping Zhu Sujin and his son, contributing to the country?

After crossing several mountain tops, the trees grew sparser, the light brighter, and larger patches of blue sky appeared as the crystal house arrived at a valley.

Looking down, they saw a large lake with water as blue as sapphire, nestled at the base of the mountains. The lake was populated with many white swans, gray ducks, and some other species of birds they didn’t recognize, flying low.

It was another imaginary land of joy and plenty.

The name-loving Qian Yixiu gave it an appealing name, Swan Lake.

The Crystal Clam came to a stop at the shore, and Liang Jinzhao didn’t allow anyone to get off just yet. He suggested that since the Crystal Clam was like returning home when it went underwater, perhaps it could first take a look underwater.

Pearl Kid nodded, and thus the Crystal Clam descended back into the water. The underwater world was incredibly magical and colorfully dazzling. There were countless types of aquatic plants, fish, shrimps, and other sea creatures. Pearl Kid saw a small stone at the bottom of the lake, amidst the chaos of rocks. It was as smooth and beautiful as a crystal. The Crystal Clam stopped, opened up, and Pearl Kid reached out to bring the small stone inside. Miraculously, no water entered the Crystal Clam.

Pearl Kid presented the small stone to Qian Yixiu, saying, "Mother, this little stone is so pretty. I’ll give it to you."

The small stone resembled a diamond from a previous life. One could only guess how many carats it would be. Although the Great Qian Kingdom didn’t have diamonds, nor did anyone appreciate them, it could still be exchanged for nice things with foreigners.

Stars shone in Qian Yixiu’s eyes as she smiled and said, "It’s so beautiful. Thank you, my son."

After a tour around, the Crystal Clam rested on the shore. Liang Jinzhao first asked Monkey Brother and Monkey Sister to get off and listen for any signs of wild animals nearby. They had all observed carefully when they arrived; there were no fierce animals in this valley, but it was still better to be safe than sorry.

About a quarter-hour later, two red shadows looped back, gesturing that there were no dangers.

Everyone, along with the House of Animals, joyously got off.

By then, the sun was setting in the west, a red fiery ball hanging on the mountaintop, as if all creatures on Earth were bathed in a layer of golden light.

The animals here were especially simple and honest. They did not regard these people and animals as different from themselves. Living freely and leisurely, they went about their own ways.

The mountains surrounding the area kept the bitter cold at bay. Spring arrived earlier than the outside world, with many flowers already in bloom and the temperature being quite warm.

To Qian Yixiu’s excitement, she even spotted a Dragon Fragrance Tree and thought about taking more of it with her when they left.

No sooner had the White Wolf and Dashan come down than they slipped into the woods; they were off to catch rabbits. As long as their owner didn’t see them, a little thieving was alright. Monkey Brother and Monkey Sister seemed to share the same thought and ran after them.

Under Tiaotiao’s leadership, the dogs ran joyfully around the lake, with Pearl Kid and the little squirrel chasing and shouting behind them.

Qian Yixiu, Liang Jinzhao, the Little Monk, and Wu Ming all sat on the shore, admiring the beautiful scenery. This place was unlike Cave Sky Pool; that place clearly looked like an Immortal Realm, exuding spiritual energy and so beautiful it almost seemed illusionary. Here, though beautiful, the scenery was undeniably a real, earthly beauty, one that existed truly and one didn’t have to worry would disappear in an instant.

Qian Yixiu laughed and said, "This place is truly beautiful, secluded from the world, where animals live in harmony with each other. Whenever we have nothing to do, we could come here to play and stay for a day or two."

Wu Ming looked into the distance and smiled, "Ever since I can remember, I have been serving beside the master. Later, I served Little Master Uncle Hongji. One day, the Little Master Uncle will return to secular life, and the master will leave. Then, I shall live here. This place is exactly the haven the Poor Monk has dreamt of. Along the way, I estimated the distance. With my walking speed, I could reach here in six or seven days."

The Little Monk felt a twinge of sadness as he spoke, "Both Daci Temple and Baoguo Temple could be homes. Why must my dear nephew insist on coming here? Although it’s nice, it’s too far and quiet."

Wu Ming replied, "It is precisely because of its tranquility that the Poor Monk can better comprehend the Buddhism and martial arts taught by the master. Little Master Uncle need not be sad; should you need me in the future, the Poor Monk will surely come down from the mountains to help."
