The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 979 - 977: A Reluctant Request

Borrow the pond?

Xin Lin was taken aback.

She thought Lu Yuan and Huang Xuerou wanted to come over for meals again, but borrowing the pond?

They must have been tricked by Master Mo, who claimed the pond was filled with Spiritual Energy, even saying the water was from a Spiritual Spring.

Xin Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Don’t get us wrong, we don’t mean anything else. We just want to train using the Combat Lobsters inside. You know, those Combat Lobsters are really tough. Though we’ve recently improved our cultivation, we still lack practical experience. Our class isn’t the best, so we thought we’d use the Combat Lobsters to boost our practical skills."

Lu Yuan hurriedly explained.

He was constantly summoned by Master Mo for labor because he didn’t know how to refuse.

Initially, Lu Yuan was a bit disgruntled, but after being attacked by the Combat Lobsters several times, he found his practical skills had improved significantly. He often dragged Huang Xuerou and Zuo Mingshang along, who also felt the same way.

Xin Lin couldn’t help but laugh.

The Combat Lobsters, thanks to the Jade Pure Spring, had become Dark Beasts.

A month ago, they were only First-level Dark Beasts.

But over the past month, they’ve evolved into Second Level Dark Beasts.

And they reproduce well; Xin Lin and others occasionally used the Combat Lobsters for a feast, but the pond’s Combat Lobster count always stayed at forty to fifty.

In contrast, the Black Fish, although also raised in the pond, didn’t become Xuan Spirit Beasts. They just grew larger than average Black Fish with more delicious meat.

It goes to show that not every species can benefit from the Jade Pure Spring.

"Just borrowing the pond? No problem at all."

Xin Lin shrugged, looking indifferent.

"We’ll pay you five Low-level Qi Stones a month."

Lu Yuan was delighted, yet a bit embarrassed.

His family could only afford five Low-level Qi Stones.

They knew Xin Lin, capable of refining Intermediate Qi Stones, wouldn’t value five Low-level Qi Stones much.

"No need for Qi Stones. Lu Yuan, you come daily to help me dig some lotus roots. Xuerou and Mingshang can help water the plants. I recently planted some medicinal herbs that need regular watering. You can use the pond freely."

Speaking of Combat Lobsters, Xin Lin remembered something else.

After sorting the seeds, she had Lu Yuan and company plant them while she headed to the clutter room at the School Clinic with the Overlord Egg.

Since the School Clinic’s renovation, Xin Lin had kept people away from this small wooden house.

The Hornet Monster inside wasn’t something to mess with.

Due to the Overlord Egg hatching, Xin Lin hadn’t figured out how to deal with the swarm of Hornet Monsters.

The direct consequence was that Xin Lin hadn’t collected honey for several days.

Without honey, Chu’s Restaurant couldn’t make its popular sugar lotus root dish.

As she approached the small wooden house, a buzzing sound could be heard.

A swarm of Hornet Monsters, dense like a small dark cloud, aggressively surrounded the small house, sensing someone had approached.

Looking at the Hornet Monsters, Xin Lin hesitated as she fiddled with the Rong Qiu at her waist.

"There’s no honey at home. Go get some. If you do, I’ll make you some candied haws."

Jiu Jiu~

Hearing about food, Rong Qiu jumped up and charged toward the small wooden house.
