I created a paradise in the folk world.

Chapter 110 Let's see if you're still so arrogant.

In a lavishly decorated room.

A tall, slender figure lay languidly on the soft couch.

The woman's long, flowing black hair obscured the snow-white skin beneath her thin veil.

Zhao Manjun glanced at the letter that the maid had just brought over, and after her eyes swept over the contents, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

The girl below, seeing her like this, couldn't help but ask, "Senior Aunt, is there some good news?"

"There's nothing to celebrate."

"Then why do you look so happy?"

The girl in green asked curiously.

"Yanling Village, a village under Jiangchuan Town, was hit by a monster horde yesterday."

Zhao Manjun yawned casually and put the letter aside.

"Then, Master Uncle, has that village fallen?" The girl in green asked nervously, her expression changing slightly.

"No, not only did they not fall, they also wiped out tens of thousands of monsters, as well as three second-tier monsters."

Zhao Manjun chuckled softly, her tone carrying a deeper meaning.

"What?"

The girl in green was taken aback by her words. "Senior Uncle, are all the villages below Jiangchuan Town this powerful?"

Despite being attacked by a horde of monsters, they were still able to cope with it calmly.

If it were a village below their town, it would probably have been swallowed up by the monster tide long ago.

Zhao Manjun: "However, it wasn't without losses. They suffered hundreds of casualties, including two combatants at the Solidification Realm."

The girl in green sighed, "That's still incredibly impressive."

"But why are you so concerned about this village, Uncle-Master?"

In her understanding, this senior brother was always indifferent to worldly affairs and rarely cared about the affairs of the villages below.

Not to mention the joy that comes from seeing a village survive a monster horde.

"Who said I care about this village?"

Zhao Manjun said calmly, raising her eyes slightly, "There's just one familiar name in this report. He's a kid I met by chance when I was sealing the zombies a while ago. He's quite interesting."

"interesting?"

The girl in green pondered the two words carefully, her face showing confusion. She couldn't figure out what her senior master meant by "interesting".

"That child has a strong will, which I like very much, and I have developed a bit of a fondness for his talent."

Zhao Manjun smiled slightly.

"It's a real pity that he already possesses the legacy of the wooden puppet and cannot join my Five Clouds Temple."

Wuyun Temple has always only accepted disciples with a clean background and no lineage, and they are usually selected from children between the ages of eight and twelve.

Besides possessing the legacy of the wooden puppet, Shen Yi was also a bit too old to be able to enter the Five Clouds Temple for cultivation.

The girl in green became even more curious about the child her senior master had mentioned.

What kind of child could inherit the wooden puppet technique at such a young age?

Moreover, he even won the favor of his senior master!

You should know that in all these years at Wuyun Temple, my senior master has never taken any of his disciples seriously, and has never accepted a single disciple.

The girl in green thought to herself: Could it be that this child is even more talented than the genius disciples of our Five Clouds Temple?

"How is Yinghe?"

Zhao Manjun suddenly changed the subject and asked about Lu Yinghe, who had gone to Daguanshan with her to seal the corpses a while ago.

"Senior Sister Yinghe has already returned to the temple. Uncle-Master Lu is punishing her for the incident of the corpse escaping. He has punished her by confining her to her room to reflect on her mistakes and forbidding her from leaving the mountain for three years. If her cultivation does not improve, then she will be punished for another three years."

The girl in green stuck out her little tongue, feeling a chill run down her spine at the thought of such a severe punishment.

Three years.

For these curious young girls, being confined to the temple was simply too unbearable.

Moreover, she also heard that her senior sister Lu Yinghe had met a charming young man in Jiangchuan Town.

I had come here to meet my senior sister's sweetheart, but who would have thought that as soon as Senior Sister Lu Yinghe arrived in Jiangchuan Town, her Uncle-Master Zhao Manjun had someone send her back.

I just missed her.

Zhao Manjun muttered to herself, "The Xiao family has recently monopolized the business of materials for spirit monsters, and they've also suddenly discovered a spirit mine outside. Something just doesn't seem right."

"Yinghe is obsessed with getting together with the Xiao family. Senior Brother Lu's actions have just put an end to her hopes."

"Senior Uncle, is Senior Sister Yinghe's sweetheart actually from the Xiao family?"

The girl in green changed her expression.

The Five Clouds Temple has recently been investigating clues related to the Xiao family, and they are suspected of colluding with Mo Yanshan and his group of mutated humans hiding in the shadows, intending to overthrow the existing human civilization.

If Senior Sister Lu Yinghe really has her eye on the Xiao family, then her punishment is not unjust.

The Five Clouds Temple and Mo Yanshan—no, to be precise, the entire normal human world and Mo Yanshan—are destined to be irreconcilable mortal enemies.

This isn't some plot from a storybook where "the enemy's son falls in love with me."

They are the true enemies of humanity, destined to destroy humankind and lead it to its demise!

However, they currently have no evidence to prove anything regarding the Xiao family.

At this time.

A cool breeze swept by.

The next moment, a tall figure in white suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Oh, what an honored guest! Welcome, Senior Brother Lu, to my humble abode."

As if sensing his presence, Zhao Manjun spoke first with a light laugh before he could even knock.

"Senior Brother Lu, why aren't you disciplining Yinghe properly at the temple? Instead, you've come here to discipline your junior sister."

A solemn voice came from outside the door.

"The fifth black zone in the Southern War Zone has become chaotic. It has breached the fourth line of defense in Jiangchuan Town. Baiquan Town and Shuanghe Town helped to share some of the pressure, but they also suffered severe damage."

"The Southern Battlefield Great Wall defense line, jointly built by our Wuyun Temple and Nanfeng City, is facing the main force of the No. 5 Black Domain. The situation is not optimistic."

Upon hearing this...

Zhao Manjun's languid expression faded somewhat, and she said in a deep voice, "The Fifth Black Domain has been dormant for so many years, it seems to have accumulated quite a bit of power."

"It's more than just a lot."

The senior brother Lu outside the door spoke in a grave voice, "This time, a fourth-tier spirit has appeared in the Black Domain, and it seems to have the potential to advance to the fifth tier!"

Fifth rank!

These are two words that could plunge all of humanity in the Southern War Zone into despair.

Every time a fifth-tier monster appears, humanity experiences an incredibly devastating catastrophe.

More than sixty years ago, a fifth-tier monster that appeared in the No. 3 Black Domain wiped out the entire Southern Wilderness City.

Millions of people lost their lives.

At that time, it took all the major powers exhausting their resources to wear it down.

They must never experience such a catastrophe again.

"I heard that the one in Nanfeng City has been in seclusion for a long time and should be about to break through." Zhao Manjun's expression flashed.

"It's not clear yet. We need to be fully prepared. If that person fails to break through, we'll have to step in."

"What brings you here this time, Senior Brother?"

"The commanders from the Northern War Zone have arrived; they wish to see you."

"Sōzō—what brings them to see me?"

"Who told you to be such a rare genius in our Five Clouds Temple? Be prepared, the main sect might arrange a great opportunity for you this time."

Zhao Manjun scoffed, "Great fortune? With the main sect gradually declining, many forces in the Northern War Zone have already surpassed them in overall strength. Now, they probably can't even compare to our Five Clouds Temple. What great fortune could there be?"

"I'm afraid they really need my help."

There was no further sound from outside the door.

That Senior Brother Lu had already left sometime ago.

"They know everything and just dump it on me, without any pity for me. I'm just a weak woman."

inside the room.

Zhao Manjun sighed resentfully.

The girl in blue below twitched her lips slightly.

She remembered seeing her senior, who was still a young girl, kick a three-meter-high boulder into countless fragments when she was very young.

That scene left an indelible impression on her young mind.

Weak woman?

Are you kidding me!

The next day.

Another peaceful evening has passed.

Shen Yi opened his eyes with a sense of relief, sat up in bed, and stretched his limbs.

He slept very comfortably.

All the fatigue of the past two days, both mental and physical, has been completely eliminated.

"The effect of living in seclusion is really good!"

Shen Yi sighed deeply.

He glanced at Shen Kun and Shen Yuan, who were still fast asleep on his left and right sides, got up, got out of bed, and walked out of the room.

Guan Yue, who was standing next to her, also pushed open the door and walked out.

"Ah Yue, how is your physical condition recovering?" Shen Yi asked casually.

"Much better."

Guan Yue's eyes flashed, and when she heard Shen Yi change how he addressed her, she immediately smiled and felt that their relationship had become much closer.

She then excitedly added, "Ah Yi, I've found that when I rest in this room, my physical and mental strength recovers much faster than before."

"In the past, after a long day, my body would feel sore and weak the next day."

"But not here. When I wake up, even my mental fatigue is completely gone!"

"The upgrade you've made is amazing! I never imagined I'd have such a comfortable and magical room in my life."

"This is not the limit of empty seclusion; in the future, empty seclusion will become even more comfortable and safe."

Shen Yi's eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth were turned up.

"So this house is called Kongyinju? It sounds like a hermit's retreat."

Guan Yue looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes, her expression seemingly moved.

Shen Yi smiled upon hearing this.

It's called a secluded retreat, but in reality, there's no difference.

They were currently in a place that even second-tier spirits wouldn't linger.

Although resources are scarce, it is very safe.

Shen Yi can also send out exploration teams to find resources outside and replenish the territory.

He will not only build this place into a strong base, but also turn it into a paradise on earth!

The current level of the Hidden Abode is only the first level after the upgrade, and it can be upgraded again in the future.

"I'll have to figure out a way to make this house able to change size at will, or even fly automatically, so that it can be easy to move around."

"Or perhaps, the mortal realm is no longer enough for me; creating a celestial palace wouldn't be bad!"

As Shen Yi pondered these fantastical thoughts, the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

"Let's go wash up and go eat, I'm a little hungry."

"Okay, I'll go pick some mutated red eggplants later."

Guan Yue smiled faintly and walked out, swaying her graceful waist.

After washing up.

While Guan Yue was cooking, Shen Yi went to the backyard to take a look around.

"Huh? In just a few days, more than a dozen mutated pheasants have appeared in the chicken coop?"

Shen Yi was the first to notice the commotion inside the chicken coop.

A group of large, mutated pheasants stared sharply at their surroundings, each emitting an aggressive low cry.

They then rushed together and began pecking at each other.

Clearly, this is the biggest factor that caused the pheasant to mutate.

Of course.

The cause of this phenomenon is naturally the mutated pheasant king, which has grown to a height of half a meter.

It stood proudly in the center, surrounded by its mutated pheasant underlings.

Shen Yi approached and glanced at the chicken coop, his eyes twitching slightly.

All that could be seen on the ground were the carcasses of pheasants.

Only thirty-five mutated pheasants remained in this chicken coop.

All the common pheasants have died.

Or perhaps they were mercilessly pecked to death by these mutated pheasants.

"How cruel—"

Shen Yi sighed deeply, "The weak will be ruthlessly eliminated; only the strong can survive in this chicken coop!"

Isn't this a reflection of humanity's existence in this world?

However, in this chicken coop, it's a case of cannibalism among chickens.

This forced ordinary pheasants to join the ranks of evolution.

At this time.

Shen Yi noticed that the two mutated pheasants that were closest to the mutated pheasant king were different from the other mutated pheasants.

The claws of these two mutated pheasants are noticeably sharper, their feathers are more vibrant, and there are bluish lines on both sides of their beaks.

Shen Yi's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Could these two mutated pheasants be preparing to become first-tier demonic beasts?"

A first-tier monster that can be kept in captivity!

Moreover, these two mutated pheasants are actually hens!

If that's the case, then it would be extremely valuable.

With the first-tier mutated pheasant, they no longer needed to go out and painstakingly hunt monsters.

This allows villagers to focus their time and energy on other things!

Clearly, these two mutated pheasants have not yet officially completed their transformation.

But it should happen in the next few days.

Suppressing his excitement, Shen Yi casually used one of the day's feedings on the mutated pheasant king.

The mutated pheasant king walked over arrogantly, glanced at Shen Yi disdainfully, then swallowed the white jade bead in one gulp. After shaking its tail feathers, it turned around and strode away with its head held high.

Shen Yi: "————"

Row!

Are you trying to put on airs with me?

Do you really think you're the boss, and that I'm your servant?

"Once the two mutated female pheasants have transformed, I'll lock the three of you in one coop and make you mate every day!"

"Let's see if you're still so arrogant."

Looking at the level 7 chicken coop displayed before him, Shen Yi shook his head.

Now is not the time to upgrade the chicken coop.

There's no need to upgrade the vegetable garden.

"Wooden puppet soldiers, wooden dummies, and wells—these three are of utmost importance."

Shen Yi planned to upgrade the wooden dummy and the wooden puppet soldiers later.

It's time for the wooden golem to advance.
