Chapter 171: Lush Fruit Trees

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The fruit trees on Shangwan Mountain had long been planted. From afar, one could see a mountain packed with colorful fruits.

Most of the villagers were still well-behaved citizens. However, there were still many children who ignored the advice of the adults and sneaked up the mountain to steal fruits.

Qin Xi also had a way to deal with this.

She set up a few bewitching array formations on the path up the mountain. As long as the array formations were activated, they would get lost and feel like they’d entered a maze.

However, after an hour or two, the bewitching array formation would show people the way out.

Qin Xi had also cast an illusion talisman on every tree. As long as someone touched the fruit tree, it would transform into a terrifying creature that the thief was afraid of.

For example, if the thief was afraid of snakes, then the branches of the fruit tree would turn into snakes flicking their tongues.

These talismans were specially used to confuse people with weak wills and magnify their fear by several times.

Therefore, those who had tried to steal the fruit did not dare to try it again.

Of course, in order not to arouse suspicion, Qin Xi still arranged some people to help guard the mountain.

And the mountain guardians were Da Niu and Tie Niu.

The father and son looked honest and upright, but they were actually very smart and meticulous. In addition, they were well-built. By just standing on the mountain gate, they were able to scare those with ill intentions off.

Apart from the father and son, there was also Zhang Dujuan. Unlike the father and son who were at the foot of the mountain, she lived on the mountain. Qin Xi had built a temporary house for her.

Just like that, Qin Xi refined a large number of Vitality Pills and threw them into the fruit tree every day. Seeing the fruit tree full of juicy fruits, the Han family was so happy that they couldn’t stop smiling.

Liu Shuan followed Qin Xi up the mountain twice. When he saw how quickly the fruits grew, and some of them had even ripened in a short amount of time, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

Looking at the fruits all over the mountain, Liu Shu swallowed hard and was so excited that he could not speak properly. “This, this… this is too magical.”

“In a few days, my first batch of fruits will be completely ripe.” Qin Xi picked a pear from the pear tree beside her and handed it to Liu Shu, indicating for him to try it.

The pear was only supposed to be ripe in late September, but in mid August, it was already juicy and fragrant. This made Liu Shuan extremely excited.

Moreover, looking at the fragrant pear that he could not even hold with both hands, he did not know where to bite it.

Qin Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled. She took out a small knife from her pocket and cut the pear.

Liu Shuan was immediately captivated by the sweet fragrance. He leaned close to the pear and sniffed. In an instant, a refreshing fragrance filled his nose.

He couldn’t wait to pick up a piece and put it into his mouth. The skin of the pear was thin and crunchy, and the juice was overflowing.

Liu Shuan chewed in ecstasy, feeling like he had entered heaven. When he regained his senses, he began to wolf down the pear. He did not care about his image at all. What was exaggerated was that he did not even let go of the pear core.

After eating, Liu Shuan smacked his lips and said shamelessly, “Can I take a few with me? I want to let your Auntie Caiyun try it too!”

Qin Xi waved her hand and said generously, “Pick whatever you want. There are still many kinds over there. If it’s not enough, come and get them later on.”
