"In short, regarding matters of the heart and what positions to use, you should discuss them with her and Huayu. As an elder, it would be awkward and uncomfortable for both of us to talk about these things with you."

"And I also think that the way the Pride Insect Clan seeks pleasure isn't really suitable for you," Auntie said.

“Yes, Young Master Su,” said Mei’er, the Queen Bee of Qinyuan, her face full of resentment, tears welling up in her heart.

Being able to taste mythical beasts is one of the lifelong pursuits of many female beasts, but now they can only look at them but not touch them.

Having roamed the human realm, Mei'er understood perfectly well what a so-called "emotional master" was—basically, a female official in the Xia Dynasty's royal court. The main task of these palace female officials was to teach princesses and princes about sex, and their fate was generally to be discarded and left to retire in a deserted corner of the palace after their service was over.

The ladies-in-waiting who gained favor were kept under observation, and their fate was to be decided whether to be thrown into the cold palace or relegated to a corner.

The female officials all ended up retiring in their old age, no matter what.

………………

After exchanging contact information with Mei'er, Su Yan looked at his aunt with curiosity.

“I know what you want to ask, but I don’t think children should know these things,” Auntie glanced at Su Yan.

The swarming insects do not have a concept of mates; they will not mate unless the female insect wants offspring.

Moreover, the female insect is two to three times the size of the male insect.

Because they lack the concepts of mate and family, female insects usually violently beat up male insects and drag them home, or use toxins to poison male insects to the point of near death before dragging them home. It is also common for them to be strangled and tied up with spider silk and taken home. In short, there is no normal courtship process.

My aunt has never considered having children, so there's no experience to share. Otherwise, there would be no need for Queen Bee Qin Yuan and Hua Yu to teach their nephew.

Moreover, the experience of worms falling in love may not be suitable for foxes.

………………

"Take a break for a while and move around more to digest the remaining effects of the Spirit Cleansing Pill."

After dealing with the matter of the Qin Yuan Bee Queen, Auntie refocused her attention on Su Yan and conducted another bone examination on him to check his progress in refining spirit-grade pills before offering him some advice.

High-grade elixirs are easy to ingest but difficult to refine, often resulting in residues remaining in the body.

When the residual medicinal power collides with other pills, all sorts of amazing reactions will occur. My aunt even saw a human cultivator who was so excited by the conflicting effects of the medicine that he ran naked.

Therefore, her aunt suggested that Su Yan not take the second Cleansing Pill for the time being, but instead refine the medicinal power in his body first.

Moreover, it's not far from the Xia Yu New Year celebration, and some fellow Daoists will be visiting then.

In the past, the pills and spiritual plants they gave her were not very useful, and her aunt would usually put them in the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for spirit stones to fill her spiritual power gap. But this year, because of Su Yan, she can keep all the gifts that fellow Daoists bring when they visit her.

At that point, I could eat Su Yan into a ball without any problem.

"Let's help Auntie take stock of the New Year's goods. We'll head back to the city once Qianzhi wakes up!"

Auntie took out the ledger and handed it to Su Yan, asking him to take stock of the delicacies collected by the Qin Yuan bees.

Mei'er, the queen bee of Qinyuan Bees, looked at her aunt and Su Yan with a heart full of complaints:

"How could you not have all the New Year's goods? I had the kids buy everything they couldn't find at the shops in Yucheng."

Qin Yuan Bees picked everything that could be picked. For things that couldn't be picked or weren't available due to the season, Mei'er paid out of her own pocket to have the children buy them from the shops.

Everything on the list was there, and even the missing Qin Yuan bees were added. Spring Festival couplets, bowls, and firecrackers for warding off evil spirits, all from the Xia Yu folk customs, were also purchased.

"Huh? What are you still doing here?"

While Su Yan was taking stock of the New Year's goods at the brothel, he spotted a plant branch that looked extremely familiar. He grabbed the branch without any flowers and pulled it out. The root of the plant, which was intertwined like two hands embracing a moon lotus, appeared in front of Su Yan with a puffed-up face.

"None of your business!"

Ju Yuelian shook herself vigorously, breaking free from Su Yan's grasp and planting herself on the goods, continuing to sulk.

For several days, it flaunted itself in front of Qianzhi, Qinyuan Bee, Wenwen Bee, and Meier, trying to prove that it was not some incompetent weed.

What they got in return was a series of increasingly severe blows.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and Ju Yuelian decided to leave the mountains and venture out into the world!

So be it, weeds! It's fine this way, no cultivators will come back to covet my body, and I can mingle in densely populated areas to obtain cultivation resources!

Juyuelian made a fierce vow in its heart: it must achieve something that would dazzle its aunt and the queen bees, and then reappear in front of them to slap them in the face.

Who says weeds are useless!

Although I have no medicinal effects, I am powerful!

Chapter 96 Human joys and sorrows are all different

"Great Immortal, Great Immortal, please have pity on me! I will definitely repay your kindness when I become successful in the future."

Ju Yuelian, who had been looking fierce and fantasizing about how she would make a name for herself after arriving in the human realm, fell to the ground in astonishment after her aunt waved her hand, opened her storage ring, and put away all the New Year's goods.

Storage rings utilize array formations, not some kind of magical ability like "a hidden universe in a sleeve," and they cannot contain living beings.

The Gathering Moon Lotus was clearly a living creature. After the storage ring determined that it possessed affinity, it refused to accept it, causing the Gathering Moon Lotus to fall out from among the living creatures. The plan to smuggle the Gathering Moon Lotus into human territory by mixing it with the cargo was aborted before it even took its first step.

The Moon Lotus, still in its original form, hurriedly ran to its aunt's side and begged her to take it out of the mountains.

Why are you so stubborn?

Looking at the Moon Lotus at her feet, her aunt shook her head, raised her hand, and threw it in front of Su Yan, saying, "Put the Moon Lotus back where it was dug up! You can't live in human territory in your current form."

Plant spirits have a difficult time growing. Not every spiritual plant can develop sentience. Moreover, they face the risk of being harvested during their growth. Only plant spirits with Foundation Establishment cultivation can pull their roots out of the ground and disappear without a trace.

It's really good luck that the Gymnocalycium mihanovichii can grow.

Of course, although the plant demon's situation was pitiful, Auntie would never touch it. Heaven knows how many demons had comfortably watered the Gathering Moon Lotus with their legs crossed.

"Once you reach the Golden Core stage and can condense a human form, then you can start thinking about life for the human race!"

The aunt told Ju Yuelian some things: Although Xia Yu City is inclusive and all races of cultivators are Xia Yu people, if you want to beg for food in Xia Yu City, you at least need to be human, right? Otherwise, how could you possibly support yourself?

"Once you reach the Golden Core stage and condense a human form, you can find the Qin Yuan Bee Clan and have them escort you out of the mountain."

After saying that, Auntie glanced at the Queen Bee, and Mei'er quickly agreed to the instructions of the Arrogant Insect King.

After remaining silent for a long time, Ju Yuelian kowtowed deeply to her aunt before disappearing into the soil.

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal. I will repay your kindness in the future. But I will definitely slap you in the face for calling me a weed."

Su Yan glanced at her aunt, then at the spot where the Gathering Moon Lotus had burrowed away, and said, "I thought you were going to kick it out, Auntie!"

"Do I look like that kind of bad person?" Auntie raised her hand and lightly tapped Su Yan's head, rolling her eyes:

"Plant demons are few in number among the demon race, making them arguably the most pitiful race in our race. Although their daily habits are a bit unpleasant to some, it's only natural for them to help their fellow demons whenever they can!"

Mei'er, standing to the side: "."

Please continue, Master. Mei'er is listening and promises she will not utter a single complaint.

………………

"I can see it so clearly, it's like I've gone back to my childhood."

Qianzhi, having washed away the grime in the lake, opened her eyes with a happy expression, taking in the familiar world.

After ingesting the Spirit Cleansing Pill, Qian Zhi's eye problem was greatly alleviated. She went from being unable to distinguish between humans and animals at two meters away to being able to identify men and women at ten meters away.

Although it only significantly alleviated the eye problem and did not cure it completely, it was still a very happy thing for Qian Zhi. To cure the eye problem completely, she might need to improve her cultivation level.

Her eye ailment was not a normal disease, but a curse from her father, a curse that would accumulate over time, starting with her eyes and eventually completely stripping away her five senses and spiritual power.

This is a non-lethal curse, but it will forever follow the bloodline and be passed down within the clan.

Only by shedding the mortal body can it be cured completely.

"Pharmacist Qian! We're about to leave, are you ready?"

Su Yan's voice came from afar, startling Qian Zhi, who was admiring the forest scenery: "Hey! They're here!"

Qian Zhi stood up from the lake, slipped into the grove of trees to remove her soaked bodice and trousers, took a towel from her storage ring to dry her body, changed into a clean long dress, and hurriedly rushed out of the woods, explaining in a flustered manner:

"I haven't seen such beautiful scenery in a long time. I accidentally got so captivated by it. I'm so sorry."

"It's nothing. My aunt just asked me to come and see why the pharmacist had been gone for so long. She was worried that something might have happened to you. She didn't mean to rush you."

Su Yan, with an awkward smile, lied, saying that for a terrestrial immortal, spreading one's divine sense over a radius of a hundred miles was very simple.

They were all ready to go home, but Qianzhi didn't return for a long time. When her aunt opened her divine sense, she saw Qianzhi sitting on a large rock by the lake in a daze, so she asked Su Yan to come and urge Qianzhi. No one knew how to put away her alchemy tools that were there.

Qian Zhi returned to Wenwen's beehive and began to tidy up her alchemy furnace, herb scale, and utensils.

"These, these, and these things, are all made for you to consume."

Qian Zhi pointed to several bath tubs and thirty to fifty unmarked porcelain bottles, instructing Su Yan to collect them all. The pills and liquids inside were various kinds of pills made from medicinal herbs gathered from the Western Mountain Range. However, some pills had not yet been refined due to a lack of medicinal herbs.

Qian Zhi planned to return to Xia Yu City with the remaining medicinal herbs to ask Senior Chong what kind of pills he needed to refine.

"Aren't there any labels on the pills? Won't something happen if I take the wrong pill?" Su Yan asked Qian Zhi with a troubled expression, looking at the bottles and jars in his storage ring.

"These are all pills for gathering and absorbing spiritual energy. There's no possibility of taking the wrong medicine. Just grab a handful and take them with the Spirit Gathering Elixir before you begin your cultivation," Qian Zhi said.

"Well, apart from the possibility of vomiting from eating too much, there shouldn't be anything else you need to avoid."

Sitting at the tea table, her aunt glanced sideways, a dark line gradually appearing on her face. The value of the pills Su Yan had stored in his storage ring was not low; even she herself had spent more than three thousand catties of spirit stones to get something for nothing.

If I sell it at another pharmacy, will they not sell you 20,000 to 30,000 catties of spirit stones?

"Pack your things and let's go! Eating barbecue every day here is making my mouth grow so dry it's practically screaming."

Seeing that the two had almost finished tidying up, the aunt raised her hand to put away her tea set and dried nuts, and prepared to go home.

"My children! Let us respectfully bid farewell to our King and wish him continued military success!"

When Queen Mei'er of Qinyuan Bee saw that her aunt was finally preparing to leave the Western Mountain Range, she hurriedly told her children to come out and put on a show, and quickly throw this retired emperor back into the human territory.

"woo"

Although Mei'er disliked her aunt and didn't like her being treated like an emperor doting on her, she really liked her arrogant nephew Su Yan, especially after learning about his extraordinary background, she became even more enamored with him.

Unfortunately, they were not destined to have a queen bee of noble blood for the Qinyuan bee clan.
