The stolen magic is a bit magical

A grapevine is insignificant to a wealthy young lady in the world, but it is a very important matter for Li Xueyi.

It's too difficult to grow a fruit tree from the outside world underground.

There was simply no room for them to survive.

Even with space, without sunlight, they simply cannot survive.

But this kind of grape is an exception. She bought it at a high price from the Litian people who came from outside the area, carefully cultivated it, and it actually survived.

However, when she went out, the wind shifted in the garden, and six of the seven grapevines died.

This is a very heavy blow.

This feeling is something that someone sipping grapes under the clear breeze and bright moonlight outside cannot possibly empathize with.

In the northwest corner, there is a small garden.

The garden, which used to have some flowers, is now completely withered.

There were originally seven grapevines, but six died, and the ripe grapes turned into raisins hanging on the vines.

There's another one, which has some greenery.

Just a little bit.

Li Xueyi felt very sad. These flowers, plants, and trees had taken a lot of her effort.

Originally, she didn't have the time or inclination for this, but it was her mother's advice. Her mother told her: "A woman should act like a woman. Being violent, heartless, and wild is not womanly, and no man will like that. Your temperament comes from your father, and it won't change overnight. Perhaps we can only resort to some special methods. So, go around collecting small animals and flowers and plants, and raise them in Qingwan to temper your temperament."

Therefore, collecting small animals and planting flowers and grass became things for her to temper her temper.

Long ago, she had a three-eared rabbit, which was fluffy and her mother thought was very cute.

But this little guy was a bit naughty and accidentally ran into the lava lake. By the time Jiu'er came over and fished it out, it was already cooked.

The master and servant originally planned to hold a funeral for the rabbit, but the rabbit smelled too good, so... in the end, only the bones were buried in the ground.

Similar incidents occurred one after another; the animals he kept never met a good end.

So the mother gave up raising animals and switched to raising plants that wouldn't run around.

And you know what? Ever since she planted the flowers and plants, Li Xueyi has visibly changed. She actually came to really like them. Under their influence, her temperament has improved noticeably. At least when she's dressed up, she can look like a lady.

This time, the grapes were lost unexpectedly.

Li Xueyi could swear to God that she absolutely did not instruct Jiu'er to do it.

She likes to eat meat and fruit, but she absolutely does not like to eat grapevines.

Moreover, she placed great hopes and aspirations on these grapes, ever since her brother recited two lines of poetry to her, leaving her lost in the beautiful poetic world.

A poem reads: A swing sits beneath the grape trellis, the bright moon gently shifts, and the bamboo shadows move.

She planted grapes, built a swing, and planted ground cypress bamboo, waiting for the grapes to cover the courtyard walls.

Now, six of the seven grapevines have died, and the remaining one is barely alive. She is really determined to try her best to save it.

Where should we move it to?
There seemed to be nowhere to go; it was even hotter in this little garden than outside…

Because a hot wind was blowing from behind.

It covered the entire small garden.

The hot wind wasn't this strong before, and it used to blow towards the right gable wall. Now the hot wind has become stronger and has changed direction, blowing directly into the small garden.

Just as she was hesitating, a voice came: "Miss, there's no need to move it. There's a gap in the formation. Just plug the gap and it will be fine."

Li Xueyi suddenly looked up.

Jiu'er looked up in surprise.

Right in front of them, in the very center of the hot wind, stood a handsome young man, Lin Xiaosu.

"Young Master... can you plug the gap in the formation?" Li Xueyi asked.

"This formation isn't that profound, and this hot wind isn't that mysterious either. It's just that the formation's base and runes have been worn away. I'll just add some more to it, and that'll be fine!"

Lin Xiaosu stretched out her hand, and a bronze array brush appeared in her hand. She then pointed at a large, crimson rock in front of her.

The brushstrokes flowed like dragons and snakes, tracing a mysterious and wondrous path.

Suddenly, the hot air stopped abruptly.

Li Xueyi actually felt the heat wave receding layer by layer, and the small garden was cool.

Her heart was in turmoil.

He is an expert in battle formations!
He's a formation master!
Moreover, he was a highly skilled array master!
When this "Four Seasons Warmth Array" was created, it took thirteen years to complete. The entire Li ethnic group regarded it as an ancient and wondrous array that could change the nature of heaven and earth.

At that time, the female elder named Li Qing also established her status as a grandmaster in the art of array formations with this very formation, and was promoted to a top-level elder despite being a woman.

This is definitely not an ordinary formation.

But in his words, this technique wasn't that profound!
Moreover, he wasn't bragging; with a wave of his hand, the broken formation was repaired in less than three breaths.

This formation seems even more legendary than that of the legendary elder from back then.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by Jiu'er.

Before Jiu'er opened her mouth or uttered a sound, a wisp of information was sent into Li Xueyi's brain through a special vibration frequency. This was a unique communication method of the Li people, similar to "transmitting sound into secret."

The maid told her, "Miss, I've discovered a huge business opportunity." "What?"

"Young Master Su is worth 3 array crystals and 3 second-realm experts!"

Li Xueyi glared at her fiercely, not replying with a vibration message, but her eyes conveyed a sense of speechlessness...

Jiu'er continued to send a message: "Think about it, Miss went to the meeting and was tricked by those bastards, who forced our Li tribe to offer 3 array crystal pillars and 3 second-level experts. Didn't you see how worried the Grand Elder was? He was almost pulling his beard. Now that we have Young Master Su, if we send him there, we won't have to give up those precious supplies, right?"

If the Grand Elder heard this, the old man would probably be quite moved.

But the audience for these words was Li Xueyi. Li Xueyi flipped her hand and grabbed Jiu'er's arm. Jiu'er's face immediately showed a pained expression. Li Xueyi's message was transmitted back through vibration: "Going to the Nether Abyss is extremely risky, people can die! If you dare to betray him, I will throw you into the lava lake and let you soak for three days and three nights!"

Jiu'er quickly admitted her mistake: "Miss, I was wrong. I won't dare to make a move on him again. I'd rather die than tell anyone about this..."

So, let them go!
Lin Xiaosu stood in the cool world he had created, ready to seize the opportunity he had created.

Why did he make a move?

For one reason, he needed to create a condition to go to the Abyss.

A bunch of array masters, and a couple hundred races pouring in various resources, all wanting to break through the Netherworld Barrier.

Who can guarantee that this boundary wall will stand firm?

If these bastards really break the boundary wall and the subterranean aliens cross over, then Pandora's box will be opened. These subterranean aliens don't care about that; they are more interested in welcoming their ancestors, the orthodox lineage, and the key figures.

How could Lin Xiaosu not care about this?

The alien races of the Bridge Realm dare not stand in the sunlight. Who can guarantee that their ancestors, those old monsters, also dare not?
There must have been a reason why the Emperor drew that dividing line on that day.

This dividing line, drawn using his own ribs as a base, must be the final trump card to stop the invasion of the alien race from the subterranean earth.

Lin Xiaosu wanted to use a legitimate method to infiltrate the sabotage army.

Let's counter-sabotage them!

He repaired an array today, aiming for this very goal: to have the Li clan chief discover his array skills and send him to the Abyss as an array master.

I don't believe you two girls didn't see this business opportunity.

You guys should hurry up and get all excited...

However, strangely enough, while Jiu'er was beaming with joy, the person in question, Li Xueyi, seemed quite conflicted. What are you conflicted about? Three thousand array crystal pillars and three hundred second-realm warriors—I can take their place. What's there to be conflicted about?
Li Xueyi spoke up: "Young master, let's go to the pavilion for tea... Oh, and Jiu'er, tidy up the west courtyard, we'll stay here too."

Jiu'er's eyes widened in surprise: "We...we live here too?"

"Hmm, it's cool here. I can't stand the high temperature outside."

She drifted away, leaving Jiu'er with a conflicted expression. She wanted to retort to her mistress: "You can't stand the heat outside? Why didn't you say you couldn't stand the heat when you were bathing in the lava lake before? You're clearly just reluctant to part with this young master!"

Miss, wake up! This young master isn't from around here.

He looks refined, but his eyes keep darting around your chest, clearly not a gentleman. Normally, when a woman encounters a naturally lustful man like this, the most important thing is to not give him any chance at all. But you, you seem to be creating opportunities even when there aren't any...

My goodness, if you mess this up, your wife will definitely throw me into the lava lake...

A bundle of entanglements in Jiu'er's belly.

But despite her inner conflict, she still obeyed orders.

They had no choice but to obey orders.

Tidy up the west courtyard.

Preparing food...

Upon entering the pavilion, a cool breeze blew by, and Lin Xiaosu finally truly experienced the refreshing coolness.

After the formation was repaired, the temperature dropped to around 20 or 30 degrees Celsius.

This is the temperature that the human body feels most comfortable at.

However, he was also a little puzzled, as this was the initial setting of the formation.

It should be the temperature that the creator of the formation himself liked the most.

However, Li Qing, the creator of this formation, was a genuine Li ethnic minority.

Do the Li people prefer temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius?
Those ordinary Li people washing clothes and having water fights in the river, seeing how much fun they are having, shouldn't their favorite temperature be around 60 or 70 degrees Celsius?

He picked up his teacup and sipped the cooling tea: "Miss, you said that the senior who created this formation was a member of the Li ethnic group?"

"Yes!"

"The Li people are adapted to high-temperature environments, so why would they think of building such a greenhouse?"

Li Xueyi smiled gently: "She is like me. One day she also brought back a person from the outside world. That person could not adapt to the high temperature of the Li people, so she built this wonderful place for him."

"who's that person?"

“That person is also a member of the Litian clan, just like you. He built something called a ‘temple’ in the outside world.”

Lin Xiaosu's heart pounded...

Build a temple!
He finally dug out the foundation of the temple!

It was built by a Li Tian clan member who once lived in this garden.

He is the true master of the temple, the true leader of Utopia. (End of Chapter)
