Catching Monsters

Chapter 527: Did they get into a fight with Uncle Fu?
Fertilize?

Jiang Yun squatted down beside the old man and said in a low voice, "Old man, why are you framing me out of the blue?"

"What did I accuse you of?" Uncle Fu asked, puffing on his pipe as he lay back in his wicker chair.

Uncle Fu: "You young man, your character is flawed and your morals are lacking. You need to be properly disciplined."

"If I hadn't reported this to the Demon Emperor, would you have been able to come here?"

Listening to Uncle Fu's words, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a little curious. This person in front of him was a bit strange. How could an old human farmer who was farming be able to directly notify Ao Lie?

Perhaps seeing Jiang Yun's gaze, Uncle Fu slowly stood up and calmly said, "You people actually have some misunderstandings about the Demon Emperor. He's not a bad person. On the contrary, I've been growing vegetables for him here for so many years, and he's been quite good to me."

"Alright, enough nonsense. After you finish fertilizing these vegetables, pick some more and cook me lunch."

Hearing Uncle Fu's words, Jiang Yun frowned: "You dare to eat the Demon Emperor's dishes?"

Uncle Fu glared at Jiang Yun and said, "The Demon Emperor is a dragon demon, not a pig. How can he eat all these dishes by himself?"

"Go."

"If you don't help me fertilize, I'll go and tell the Demon Emperor that you've been rude to me and even tried to destroy this vegetable garden."

Seeing Uncle Fu acting like a rogue, Jiang Yun could only take a deep breath and decide to comply before figuring out who this person really was.

After all, the person in front of them was not simple.

The slaves in the Demon Kingdom are all treated like cattle and horses, being ordered around and used.

I'm just killing time anyway...

come all come...

Jiang Yun could only start fertilizing the vegetable garden, while Uncle Fu sat in his recliner, humming a human tune...

After a busy morning, they finally finished fertilizing, and then Jiang Yun was led around to cook for Uncle Fu.

Fortunately, in my previous life, I worked in a Taoist temple and, in my spare time, I would cook some simple meals.

Soon, several dishes of green vegetables were served.

Seeing this, Uncle Fu nodded slightly and couldn't help but praise, "These days, there aren't many men who can cook."

"Eat it then." Jiang Yun glared at the man, holding back her anger.

Uncle Fu chuckled and began to eat heartily, then asked curiously, "You young lad, how did you end up in the Dragon Palace?"

"It's a long story." Jiang Yun clearly didn't want to talk much with Uncle Fu. After eating a few bites of food, she got up to leave.

"Young man, remember to come early tomorrow," Uncle Fu reminded him while eating his meal.

"Again?" Jiang Yun was taken aback upon hearing this.

Uncle Fu: "What's wrong? You're not happy? Growing vegetables for the Demon Emperor is such a great blessing. Many people would beg for it. Are you saying this is beneath you?"

Jiang Yun turned and left, disappearing in a flash.

"Young people these days don't seem to have any patience."

"He has a bad temperament, poor character, and lacks patience," Uncle Fu quickly gave his assessment.

Shortly after Jiang Yun left, a figure quickly entered the thatched hut.

It was the Demon Emperor Ao Lie.

"Father, what are you doing?" Ao Lie looked at Uncle Fu respectfully and said in a low voice, "This kid is a bit silly, just tease him a little. Do you need someone to fertilize him?"

"If you need fertilizer, I will come and fertilize it for you every day."

Uncle Fu glared at Ao Lie and slowly said, "Can't you tell? That girl Ao Yu has a bit of a crush on this kid?"

Hearing Uncle Fu's words, Ao Lie was stunned and shook his head: "This, that child Ao Yu is always fighting and killing, how would he understand matters of love and affection?"

“I saw Ao Yu taking a walk with this boy a few days ago,” Uncle Fu said slowly. “When has Ao Yu ever taken a walk with a man, or even with her own father?” Ao Lie shook his head.

Uncle Fu said slowly, "Alright, get out of here. I don't care. No matter what method you use, make this kid come over and keep me company every day. I need to take a good look at this kid's character for my precious granddaughter."

Upon hearing this, Ao Lie nodded respectfully: "Yes, Father..."

……

The next morning, as soon as Jiang Yun opened his eyes, a little demon stood at the door and said respectfully, "Jiang Yun, Lord Ao Lie has sent word that you are, after all, a prisoner. It's not right for you to stay here and enjoy yourself every day."

"You'll have to endure some hardship."

"Let me lead you to the vegetable garden in the back, where you can fertilize and water it every day, and follow Uncle Fu's instructions."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun paused for a moment. He grabbed the little demon and asked in a low voice, "Who is Uncle Fu in that vegetable garden behind the Demon Emperor?"

Jiang Yun has already determined that this Uncle Fu is somewhat unusual.

"I don't know about that." The little demon shook her head, clearly not knowing, and added, "We little demons aren't qualified to enter the back garden."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun took a deep breath, steeled himself, and, led by the little demon, headed towards the garden.

When I arrived at the vegetable garden, just like yesterday, Uncle Fu was lying in a chair, leisurely smoking his pipe: "Hey, kid, you're here. Hurry up and fertilize, just like yesterday."

"Alright." Jiang Yun gave Uncle Fu a deep look, squatted down next to him, and said, "I have no problem helping you with the work, but you should at least let me know what's going on."

"Your relationship with the Demon Emperor is somewhat unusual, isn't it?"

Uncle Fu shook his head: "Look at what you're saying. The Demon Emperor is high and mighty. What relationship could I possibly have with him? I've only managed to become familiar with him by growing vegetables for him here for a year. What's wrong? You want me to do you a favor?"

“Yes.” Jiang Yun nodded: “You see, I’ve been here for a full half month.”

I need to get home right away.

Uncle Fu chuckled: "Young man, why are you in such a hurry to go home?"

"If I stay here for too long, my wife and sister at home will inevitably worry."

Uncle Fu suddenly sat up in his chair, glared at Jiang Yun, and asked, "You have a wife?"

"correct."

Uncle Fu frowned: "How come you're so young and already married?"

"Hey old man, why are you meddling in everything?"

"So what if I'm nosy? At your age, it's time to strive and work hard."

Jiang Yun said with a dark face, "Don't try to act like an old man."

"So what if I'm acting like an old man?" Uncle Fu: "You dare to hit me?"

……

Ao Lie was sitting in the palace, pondering what method the fox clan could possibly use to revive the fox clan's demon saint.

The fact that the fox clan secretly took Yan Jiu away from the demon kingdom must be related to the resurrection of the demon saint.

If they were to be successfully resurrected, given the actions of the dragon race over the years...

The three demon saints will certainly not let this go easily.

Just as he was pondering this, suddenly, a little demon rushed in from outside the door: "Demon Emperor, something has happened?"

"What's all this commotion about? What happened?" Ao Lie glared at the little demon.

"Today, as you instructed, I took Jiang Yun to the vegetable garden in the park, but he ended up getting into a fight with an old man there."

"What are you doing working with an old man?" Ao Lie's eyes widened in shock, as if he couldn't believe it: "Jiang Yunhe, is he fighting with Uncle Fu?"
