Chapter 5: Zhao Wanting’s Shock

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Previously, Lin Yi had been tortured by the illness until he was extremely thin. A gust of wind could blow him away and he was very weak. But now, not only was he full of energy, but even his arms were muscular.

Aiguo Zhao was excited. He walked over to Lin Yi and touched his arms. He searched along his back and tears flashed in his eyes.

“Good! Good! It’s good that your body is fine! Brother Lin’s bloodline hasn’t been severed.”

“I was going to help you apply for treatment resources, but I guess that won’t be necessary.”

“Hahahaha!”

Zhao Aiguo was very happy. He knew a lot. From the probing action just now, he knew that Lin Yi’s illness had been completely cured.

Now, Lin Yi’s body was even stronger than ordinary people’s.

As for what had caused it, he didn’t care. He didn’t want to care.

“I really can’t hide anything from you.” Lin Yi smiled bitterly.

He had no intention of hiding his physical condition from Zhao Wanting and her family. After all, she was someone who was willing to take care of him at the darkest moment of his life.

Zhao Aiguo wanted to continue, but looked around at the crowd and swallowed his words.

“Come to my house for dinner tonight. I need to talk to you about something.”

“Okay.”

It didn’t take long for the remaining three young officers to arrive. They weren’t fast enough. Zhao Aiguo and the thief had left them far behind.

They escorted the thief back to the station.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Aiguo, Lin Yi continued shopping.

Baishan City was huge, and the city center was very prosperous. You could basically buy anything you wanted, except prohibited goods.

After buying the food, Lin Yi bought a few more boxes of insecticide.

While the spiritual energy was abundant and the plants were lush, it also brought about a small side effect. The number of insects also increased.

Especially the Star Origin Grass, which attracted many insects as soon as it advanced.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was protecting her previously. Otherwise, even if she wasn’t snatched away by the wild boar, she would have been eaten by the insects.

At the moment, there was no good way to kill insects. He could only use the most conventional method.

Then there was the weapon.

Forget about the control knives. Lin Yi bought a few sharp fruit knives and chose a few quality kitchen knives.

This had already made the cashier of the supermarket look at him suspiciously.

There were a lot of things to buy, but fortunately, there was a delivery service. The destination was Zhao Wanting’s house. There was not even a proper road on Qifeng Mountain, and no courier was willing to send it up.

Finally, some steel beads and steel needles were purchased at the hardware store.

They packed up and went home.

Lin Yi had no attachment to the bustling city center.

After entering the Qi Refinement Stage, he had the ability to recognize the distribution of spiritual energy with his eyes. He no longer had to slowly sense it with his cultivation technique like before. In his eyes, the concentration of spiritual energy in the city center was pitifully low.

Not to mention the forest, even the small courtyard without Star Origin Grass was denser than here.

Lin Yi was not used to such a spiritual desert. If not for the fact that he had to buy items, he really did not want to come down from the mountain.

On the other side, Zhao Wanting, who was revising at home, received a call from Zhao Aiguo.

“Wanting, your Brother Zhu Yi is coming to the house for dinner tonight. Tell your mother to cook more.”

When Zhao Wanting heard this, she instantly exploded. “Dad, Brother Zhu is so weak. How can you let him walk down the mountain? No, I’ll send the dishes up to him later.”

“Don’t worry. I even met him when I was shopping today. He’s been cured.”

“Really? Zhu Yi has recovered?!” Zhao Wanting’s mother, Kong Chunhua, who was beside her daughter, asked in surprise.

“I won’t lie to you. I’ll talk to you tonight about exactly what happened. It’s not convenient over the phone.”

‘It seems to be true. Dad never lies.’

Zhao Wanting couldn’t hide the joy in her eyes. If Brother Xiaoyi recovered, wouldn’t that mean…

She seemed to think of something and her ears turned red.

“No, I can’t wait. I’m going up the mountain to check it out.”

Zhao Wanting threw down the book, changed her clothes, and hurried out the door.

“Be careful on the road, my dear girl, don’t rush,” Kong Chunhua reminded her with a smile.

The two of them were childhood sweethearts. It would be a good thing if these two little fellows could get together.

Zhao Wanting had walked the path up the mountain many times and was already familiar with it. But today, she felt something different.

“Why do these trees seem to have grown a little taller than before? Is it an illusion?”

She didn’t pay much attention to that as she continued upward, but what she saw next almost made her jaw drop.

“So many little animals!”

In the grass, in the trees, by the stream, small squirrels, white rabbits, and other small animals could be seen everywhere.

Some of them were eating the weeds on the ground, some were playing together, and some were looking at Zhao Wanting curiously.

‘Did Elder Brother Xiaoyi rear all these little animals?’

‘Does this mean he wants to open a farmhouse or a farming business?’

Zhao Wanting was confused.

She looked around but didn’t see any nets. Wasn’t Elder Brother Xiaoyi afraid they’d get away?

Moreover, ever since she had entered this area, she had felt that the air was noticeably fresher. Her body and mind had been greatly relaxed.

She moved on. Finally, she saw the net.

However, this net only surrounded the small courtyard. It was the electric net set up by Lin Yi.

Zhao Wanting’s eyes widened. “When was this net set up?”

She had only been here a few days. How did the mountain change so much?

Elder Brother Xiaoyi must have returned long ago, but he didn’t tell me. To think I was so worried about him.

Zhao Wanting clenched her pink fists and felt a little angry.

A sign had been erected in front of the metal grid. It read “Electric Grid, Do Not Touch.”

Zhao Wanting observed carefully and indeed found two wires connected to one side of the iron net.

She didn’t think what the sign said was a lie, because there were still a few charred animal bodies in front of the metal mesh.

What had happened? Why did Elder Brother Xiaoyi surround the small courtyard with an electric fence?

Zhao Wanting’s heart was filled with questions, but she couldn’t find a way in, so she could only choose a place outside to wait for Lin Yi’s arrival.

Not long after, Lin Yi returned to the mountain. He immediately saw Zhao Wanting waiting by the roadside and asked, “Why are you here, Wanting?”

“You don’t say.” Zhao Wanting pouted and snorted. “Elder Brother Xiaoyi, did you come back long ago and not inform me because you were afraid of troubling us?”

It wasn’t that he had returned early, but that he had never gone to see a doctor at all, Lin Yi thought to himself.

But of course, he wouldn’t say that.

“I just got back. I didn’t have time to inform you.” Lin Yi smiled.

As he spoke, he turned off the electric net and led Zhao Wanting in.
