Chapter 139 The Most Terrifying Demon King (23)

Accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun.

Li Boyang, riding the clouds, landed at the entrance of Lijia Village.

Although he had mastered the ability to fly, Li Boyang did not like the idea of ​​descending from the sky and receiving the worshipful gazes of the crowd.

Quietly landing at the village entrance and then walking along the path paved with blue bricks into the village has always been Li Boyang's habit.

"Don't cry, my child is back! Don't cry, my child is back!"

"Quick, quick, hide! Be careful not to get caught by that guy and made to stand in the corner again!"

"Um...shouldn't we call him Li Boyang now? He already has a name!"

"You idiot, is this the time to be saying these things?"

"Quick, someone go and tell Big Sister, she hasn't come back yet!"

……

As soon as Li Boyang entered the village, he heard the noise of children.

These children were mostly born after Li Boyang was born; the oldest were five or six years old, and the youngest were three or four years old.

As for the smaller ones, there are of course some, but they are all still in swaddling clothes.

This is the most common situation for mountain people in this era.

The older child, accompanied by the younger one, spends all day in the village teasing cats and dogs, chasing chickens and ducks, causing a lot of headaches.

Especially under the leadership of Li Jingshu, the leader of the children.

These audacious young lads and wild girls dare to do anything.

"Xi Yatou, you stop right there!"

He spotted a dirty, wild girl not far away and immediately raised his voice to shout.

Where did you get all muddy again?

In the wild girl's trembling yet fearful gaze.

Li Boyang strolled over to her side, then wiped the mud off her face and asked.

"And what about Li Jingshu?"

"Your eldest sister begged me to let her rest for a few days, but now she's gone back to the mountains?"

Upon seeing this, the nearby children scattered immediately, afraid that they too would be stopped by Li Boyang.

After all, whether it's listening to Li Boyang's reprimand or betraying Li Jingshu's whereabouts...

It was a terrifying thing in the eyes of these children.

"I have no idea!"

Upon hearing Li Boyang's question, Xi Yatou stiffened her neck and answered loudly.

Xi Yatou was the child in the village who was closest to Li Jingshu; in a sense, she could even be considered Li Jingshu's follower.

So even when facing the "most terrifying demon king," Xi Yatou resolutely refused to betray her eldest sister.

"You wild girl...look at this!"

Reaching out to rub Xi Yatou's head, Li Boyang took out a piece of honey from behind him, both amused and exasperated.

This honey was a stash that Xiluo stole from a certain big, clumsy bear.

As the number of children in the village increased, they also became more and more mischievous.

Li Boyang would always keep some on him, specifically for soothing children.

As it turned out, this method was surprisingly effective.

"Gulp... Even so, I still don't know!"

She swallowed hard, then continued to stiffen her neck, her eyes darting around unconsciously.

"Think carefully before you speak!"

It's rare for him to show his childlike side.

Li Boyang deliberately raised his voice and waved the honey in front of Xi Yatou's eyes twice.

"I...I..." "My older sister left the village after seeing that person from another village off, and I don't know anything else after that!"

With lightning speed, she snatched the honey, then turned and ran away, shouting as she went.

"You absolutely mustn't tell my older sister that I was the one who said that!"

With a smile on his face, Li Boyang watched Xiya's departing figure and then raised his voice again.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall!"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

When Li Boyang returned home, Chen Yun was feeding the chickens and herding the ducks in the yard.

At Chen Yun's feet, a large, muscular yellow dog was baring its teeth and helping her chase away the poultry.

Of course, while they are called chickens and ducks, those chickens and ducks do not actually conform to the understanding of Earth.

A chicken with magnificent plumage, a duck bigger than a big yellow dog...

If you were to throw these chickens and ducks back to Earth in my previous life, they would definitely be mistaken for products of genetic mutation.

In fact, these chickens and ducks only gradually appeared in the village three years ago when Li Boyang was simultaneously promoting the Shanshen Reservoir and rice cultivation plans.

These chickens and ducks didn't originally look like this.

Some of the original breeds were obtained by Lijia Village through exchanges with nearby villages using superior breeds, while others were pheasants and birds that Li Boyang had personally domesticated.

Through generations of hybridization and domestication, these poultry have come to be what they are today.

The village's young children owe a great deal of their boundless energy and robust physique to the meat and protein provided by these poultry.

"Mom, I'm back."

Walking slowly to Chen Yun's side, Li Boyang gently stroked the big yellow dog that was wagging its tail wildly.

This big yellow dog also came to Lijia Village three years ago.

It was specially sent by Gaojia Village, where Panhu lives, to express their gratitude.

Along with this big yellow dog, several female dogs were also brought over specifically for breeding, which is why almost every household in Lijia Village now keeps dogs.

"You're back?"

"Go and rest for a while, your old man hasn't come back yet!"

Hearing Chen Yun refer to Li Yu as "old man," Li Boyang could only shake his head helplessly, his face full of black lines.

As life gets better, Chen Yun has also shown an active mindset befitting her age.

Things like calling Li Yu "old man".

Having never been in a romantic relationship in either of his lives, Li Boyang could only categorize it as a form of intimacy between husband and wife.

It seems the plan to 'train hunting dogs' needs to be put on the agenda, otherwise his hunting efficiency is just too low.

With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Boyang fell into deep thought.

The concept of "hunting dogs" does exist in this world.

However, most mountain dwellers and hunters do not have the means to keep a hunting dog.

First of all, the amount of meat needed to raise a professional hunting dog would have almost bankrupted the entire Li family village six years ago.

Just those powerful spirits and monsters in the mountains and forests.

That alone is enough to exclude ordinary dog ​​breeds from the category of hunting dogs.

However, finding a breed of dog that is professional, strong, intelligent, and obedient is obviously a very difficult task.

[How about we go talk to Panhu again in a while?]

Panhu is a five-colored dragon dog with many canine subordinates under his command.

But those dogs are mostly spirits with human-like intelligence.

They are unwilling and unable to become hunting dogs for mountain hunters.

Not to mention, another duty of the hounds was breeding, which was an insult to those spirits.
