"Excellent, excellent!"

The three—Patriarch Hua, General Bai, and the Mountain God—didn't seem particularly interested in conversation. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they saw the Fairy Doctor and her party out of the tent and then remained seated around the long table, silently waiting for the list of casualties to arrive.

"I have a vague recollection of the Healer Fairy. She seems to be the girl who lived in Yangjia Village and was later taken as a disciple by the chief of Falling Star City."

The mountain god, who was slowly peeling the white veins of the orange, raised his head and said unhurriedly, "Yangjia Village was bustling for a long time back then. I never thought that the girl from back then would grow into such a strong person. With her cultivation here, she could probably be on par with the Crimson King, right?"

"Just behave yourself and eat oranges! You don't want to be felled and used as firewood one day when you're in seclusion, do you?" The Hua family patriarch scolded the old mountain god.

"Ma"

The old mountain god waved his hand, indicating that he would not say anything more.

The human race suffered the most severe losses after relinquishing autonomy, so the old mountain god used his memories to tell the Hua family patriarch and General Bai some things from the past. However, the Hua family patriarch had clearly made a real decision, and other external factors would no longer affect her judgment.

"Let's hold the Spring Festival tomorrow in the grandest and most solemn way. Let's invite the Crimson King to sit down and seriously discuss the matter of the transfer!" The Flower Family Patriarch looked at General Bai and the Old Mountain God.

“Let it go! We surrendered to Xia Yu back then only to seek peace. We’ve already gained a lot by occupying autonomy for decades. The decision we’re making now is simply to get things back on track,” General Bai said.

Why are you all staring at me?

The old mountain god, who was peeling an orange, said with a look of surprise, "You don't mean to conspire to chop me into firewood to use for the spring festival bonfire after hearing my unusual answer, do you?"

"You people have such cruel hearts!"

The Hua family patriarch and General Bai's eyebrows twitched, and they ignored the mountain god, who was either feigning ignorance or simply senile.

………………

After leaving the temporary military camp, the Fairy Physician and her party did not continue their conversation with the Crimson King. They simply said goodbye out of politeness and returned directly to the Flower and Plant Bureau.

The Fairy Physician disliked his personality, while Princess Luanming had no reason to approach him because they were not familiar with each other.

Upon returning to the government office, Princess Luanming and Zhou You witnessed an incredibly bizarre scene.

Su Yan transformed back into a snow fox and ran ahead, saying something like, "I'm perfectly normal. I have no hidden illnesses. I can even raise the flag when I get up in my human form in the morning." Feng Shiqi chased after the snow fox with a worried expression, saying that she was concerned about Su Yan's health and that she herself knew a little about medicine.

A human and a fox, one chasing and the other fleeing, while behind them a large group of foxes, looking completely bewildered, also followed, jumping around and whimpering.

In the foxes' minds, they probably think that Su Yan and Feng Shiqi are just playing around, right?

"Young friend Su, do you have this kind of hidden ailment?"

The fairy healer, with swift eyes and hands, snatched it away, grabbed Su Yan by the back of his neck and lifted him up. After glancing at Su Yan's belly, which was covered by his fox tail, she held him in her arms and said:

"Although I am not very clear about your situation, I have some experience in treating sexual dysfunction and have successfully cured more than 300 fellow practitioners."

The Fairy Healer looked at Su Yan with a serious expression and said, "Don't be afraid to seek medical treatment. If you suffer from infertility or have a size below average with your current cultivation level, it may be due to congenital factors. If you don't get timely treatment, you may regret it for the rest of your life and wish you could immediately leave your body and possess a new body."

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Su Yan slumped weakly in the arms of the Fairy Healer, his voice filled with helplessness as he said:

"I was chatting with Qingya earlier, and I asked the Fairy Healer what her medical specialties were. Qingya told me that the Fairy Healer was proficient in treating various kinds of infertility among immortals."

The fairy healer nodded; she was indeed an expert in this.

"Then, Sister Shiqi was inside. She probably didn't hear the previous conversation clearly, so she climbed out the window and insisted on checking me. I said I was fine, but Sister Shiqi thought I was shy and embarrassed, so she chased after me."

After Su Yan finished recounting the whole story, the Fairy Doctor chuckled and patted the fox's head to comfort him.

Princess Luanming's eyes twitched slightly as she looked at her good friend Feng Shiqi, whose face showed embarrassment.

"You brat!"

Princess Luanming retorted to her in an annoyed tone.

Feng Shiqi may have genuinely been unaware at first, but her continued relentless pursuit was definitely a pretense of ignorance. This is because Feng Shiqi had honestly told Princess Luanming that she was truly attracted to Su Yan's type.

Therefore, Princess Luanming immediately understood that this girl was pretending to be crazy in order to expose someone's true colors!

"Pfft."

Zhou You couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking to himself, "Brother Wen, do you still remember when we met Miss Feng on the street? Back then, you were so sure she was a shrew, but that wasn't true at all."

"Looking at her now, she's quite the virtuous wife and loving mother. It's not that Miss Feng is inherently shrewish; perhaps she simply dislikes your lewdness and lustfulness, brother!"

Chapter 189 The Spring Festival of the Huayao Ethnic Group (Third update, bonus chapter for monthly votes)

The next morning.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

Transformed into a fox, Su Yan was curled up asleep on the lawn. The fox trembled slightly, as if trying to drive away the clattering sounds that disturbed her peaceful sleep, but the clattering of wood against wood never stopped, and even faint shouts of men could be heard.

"Who's doing repairs so early in the morning?!"

Su Yan, thoroughly annoyed, muttered in extreme dissatisfaction, stretched out her body, her little fox hands reaching forward and her rear end sticking out, and gave a long yawn before finally letting out a long, sullen fox-like face:

"We just had a really tough day yesterday, aren't we allowed to rest for even a moment?"

Sleep is not a necessity for cultivators; they can use meditation to replace sleep. However, for cultivators who are not at the Earth Immortal level, sleep is the fastest, cheapest, and most harmless way to restore their mental state.

After fighting the cavalry yesterday and setting up the free clinic venue needed by the Fairy Healer overnight, Su Yan had half of his demonic power left, but his spirits were not very good. Su Yan had just fallen asleep to recover his spirits when he heard the sound of a wooden mallet being struck. Su Yan was naturally angry.

"That's the sound of wooden clappers being struck."

The fairy healer, who was preparing medicine in the courtyard, heard Su Yan's muffled complaints in his sleep and said with a smile:

"Muge is a word from our Huayao ethnic group. In the language of Xia Yu, it means wooden stake. Today is the Spring Festival, one of the grandest festivals for our Huayao people. Huayao men are setting up the sacrificial site to worship the sacred spirits of the mountain god, rain god, water god, tree god, and so on."

"If you are interested, you can also participate. As long as you are kind-hearted and willing to help, the Hua Yao people welcome everyone to participate in the Spring Festival."

The Huayao people are the ancient Huayao people, who were once a tribe under the Jiuli tribe. They were skilled in farming and weaving, but due to the long years and several defeats and migrations, the Huayao people have long since lost most of the things passed down from their ancestors.

The Huayao people have long since changed their name to Huayu people, using the same name as the land they live on, followed by their clan name.

When the Fairy Healer lived here, there were many people who called themselves the Hua Yao ethnic group. However, as time passed and things changed, after those old people passed away one by one, no one mentioned the Hua Yao ethnic group anymore.

The flower area had long since changed beyond recognition, so the Fairy Healer did not choose to reunite with her fellow villagers. The only thing she was still familiar with was probably the land that had given her birth and nurtured her; apart from that, she knew no one else here.

"It's going to get even more exciting from here on out, isn't it?" the Fairy Healer said with a smile, as if she had just remembered something.

In her memory, after the wooden stakes passed down from ancient times were driven into the ground, the Huayao people would sing creation songs, build sacrificial altars, and then slaughter livestock on the altars to worship the holy spirits.

It was already noon, and the Yao elders distributed rice and corn to everyone. Then came the very traditional antiphonal singing matchmaking, where, under the watchful eye of the Holy Spirit, they began to express their feelings and heartfelt sentiments through songs, and to make a marriage agreement.

In the afternoon, bonfires are set up, and the livestock used for the morning sacrifices are cooked. Singing and dancing continue until dawn, when the Spring Festival finally comes to an end.

"By the way, if a girl sings to you, just turn around and run away. If you respond to her, it means you'll have to help harvest and dry the rice during the Autumn Festival, and you might even have to help husk corn and dig up sweet potatoes in the future."

"I'll sew my mouth shut today!"

Having learned of the flower people's tricks from the fairy doctor, Su Yan immediately used his fox claws to show that he was smart and wouldn't fall for it.

"Is the Wuchun Festival really that lively?"

Zhou You, with a similarly long face, lay listlessly on the dormitory windowsill, yawning, his eyes filled with drowsiness: "Wouldn't someone like me, looking like an old farmer, be especially popular with girls?"

"There probably aren't many people who would choose you." The Healer glanced at Zhou You and slightly lowered her hood.

"A girl who can express her feelings through song must at least have received a proper education at a private school, which cost a lot of money. Your old farmer appearance and attire are not appealing."

Zhou You: "."

I'm just a Golden Core cultivator who's a bit tanned, not ugly, and doesn't have any bad habits. Bringing me into your home would be an incredibly worthwhile deal, right?

………………

Ignoring the heartbroken Zhou You, Su Yan rushed back to her dormitory, transformed into human form, quickly washed up, and then called her friends to join the fun at the Flower People's Spring Festival.

While you're at it, see if there are any shops in town that sell mattresses and sheets.

The official residence conjured by the Fairy Healer was perfect in every way, except that it lacked any textiles or furniture. To be honest, Su Yan felt that sleeping on the wooden floor of the bedroom was not as comfortable as sleeping on the lawn in the courtyard, since there were no mosquitoes outside because of the carnivorous plants.

Only girls like Princess Luanming, Feng Shiqi, and Qingya, who value their reputation, are unwilling to sleep on the lawn.

Because of the Fairy Healer, Zhou You was too embarrassed to spread his legs and lie in a V-shape on the lawn in the courtyard. Only a cultivator like Su Yan, who could switch between human and fox forms at will, could sleep with the sky as his blanket and the ground as his bed without any psychological pressure.

Feng Shiqi was shrewd enough to try to compromise, but Su Yan didn't want to be someone's punching bag, so she didn't fall for it.

"Ask the Holy Spirit, how were we formed, and how were we formed?"

“The Holy Spirit said, ‘The heavens rise one zhang at a time, and the earth sinks one zhang at a time. It rises one zhang at a time and sinks one zhang at a time. The dew accumulates to form the great sea, the mist from the sea forms clouds, the mist beneath the clouds forms fog, and the earth beneath the fog forms the earth. You appear along with the earth.’”

"Ask the Holy Spirit how Bath was formed, and how we were formed—"

The Holy Spirit said, “The heavens are rising by feet.”

Su Yan arrived at the ruined street and, following the sound of the wooden stakes mentioned by the Fairy Healer, led his companions to the sacrificial altar to join in the fun. By the time the group circled around from the scorched pit to the sacrificial site, the wooden stakes that required three people to hug and hold hands had already taken root in the fields by the Hua Yao men's hammering.

As they finished driving the wooden stakes, they began to sing the creation song and nursery rhyme of the Huayao ethnic group.

Su Yan didn't understand the meaning at first, but Qingya, who had followed the Fairy Doctor for many years, knew a little about the meaning of the Hua Yao words, so she began to translate the ballads for Su Yan.

The ballad is actually a story of the world's birth, and the question to the Holy Spirit in the ballad refers to the innate beings.

The word "Bath" refers to the current universe and starry sky.

The story roughly means that one day, the Huayao people were curious about the birth of the world and their own birth. The innate beings told the people that the universe was originally one, but from a certain day onwards, the sky became higher and the earth became lower.

As a result, the primordial beings perished, while all demons and humans were born from their bodies.

The primordial beings called it: "The Earth Separates from Heaven," and sighed deeply.

The Huayao people's creation song came to an abrupt end here. Although the song stopped abruptly, the men did not stop. They began singing the creation song again from the beginning and continued their work of driving wooden stakes and building the altar for the Spring Festival.

The ancient songs of the Huayao ethnic group can be imagined as the melody of the Auspicious Three Treasures.

Chapter 190 The Flower Man is Honest, I Like It

"Snoring—"

After the altar for the Spring Festival was set up, Su Yan, who was squatting in front of a food stall chewing on fried rice worms, watched as several large, fat pigs were dragged to the altar and slaughtered by slitting their throats.

Hearing the pitiful squeals of pigs around her, Su Yan silently put down the snack in her hand, swallowed, and suddenly felt a phantom pain in her neck. She couldn't help but complain:
