Chapter 47: Come Steal My Stuff

Around ten o’clock at night, Zhou Yu returned smoothly to Taoyuan Village and drove straight to the Old Family House.

After parking the car at the gate and locking it, he opened the main door and stepped into the yard. Instantly, Huzi, Dabao, and Xiaobao let out cheerful barks and shot toward him like arrows.

“Alright, alright, it’s only been a day since we saw each other.” Zhou Yu turned on the yard light, patted their heads, and then poured the food he brought back into the three dogs’ bowls.

Watching the lively scene of the three dogs eating, he felt a warmth in his heart. Before, it had been just him and Huzi in the Old Family House, and it felt a bit lonely sometimes. Now with Dabao and Xiaobao, there was much more fun.

Using the light, Zhou Yu took a look at the two Jade Dew plants he had moved out of the Spirit Gathering Array this morning. One was a Pan Deng Yulu Variegata that variegated naturally, and the other was a Kuroji Haworthia Cooperi Variegata that had variegated after a drop of Spirit Stabilizing Liquid.

He hadn’t applied any Spirit Stabilizing Liquid to the naturally variegated Pan Deng Yulu Variegata. This time, he moved it out and also gave it a drop to help it adapt to the environment, wanting to see the effect.

When he saw the variegation on that Pan Deng Yulu Variegata, his face showed surprise. He rubbed his eyes hard, then turned on his Mobile Phone’s light for a closer look.

The phone’s light let him see more clearly. He wasn’t seeing things; this Pan Deng Yulu Variegata actually had variegation in another color.

The natural variegation before was yellow. Now, besides yellow, there was also pink.

He could hardly believe it. Generally, a Jade Dew that variegated inside a Spirit Gathering Array wouldn’t produce variegation in another color even if you moved it out and gave it a drop of Spirit Stabilizing Liquid. This was something he had tested many times before.

But now, this Pan Deng Yulu actually had variegation in two colors. Could it be because it variegated naturally? Zhou Yu nodded slowly.

This Pan Deng Yulu variegated naturally and hadn’t received any Spirit Stabilizing Liquid before. So, after applying a drop, it mutated again, producing variegation in another color.

A Pan Deng Yulu with two variegation colors—Zhou Yu couldn’t even imagine how precious it was. Generally, some succulents could have multi-colored variegation, but Pan Deng and Black Muscle Jade Dew basically only show one variegation color.

As for the Amber Jade Dew with many colors, to be precise, it’s a cultivated mutation, not variegation.

Now, he had a Pan Deng Yulu with two variegation colors. You could say it broke historical records, and that wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

A look of excitement appeared on Zhou Yu’s face. He never expected a naturally variegated Jade Dew to give him such a huge surprise.

Before, when this Pan Deng Yulu variegated naturally, he thought the variegation wasn’t as beautiful as that from the Spirit Stabilizing Liquid. But now, he knew he was wrong.

Naturally variegated Jade Dew plants would each be an incredibly precious treasure in the future. Others would simply wish to get one variegation color, but he now had a Pan Deng Yulu with two variegation colors. If word got out, it would drive everyone crazy.

It took a long time before Zhou Yu’s excited heart gradually calmed down. He looked at the Kuroji Haworthia Cooperi Variegata next to it; its variegation color remained the same as before, unchanged. It seemed two variegation colors could only appear on naturally variegated Jade Dews.

After staying in the yard for a while, he went back into his room. His gaze fell on the Radio again. It was not long before midnight now. He wondered if the Radio would activate today.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu decided to watch by its side. Ever since he got this magical Radio, he had always woken up to find it already glowing. So, he wanted to personally witness the moment the Radio’s light came on.

As he watched the time and stared at the Radio, suddenly, when it was still over twenty minutes to midnight, he saw the originally ordinary Radio slowly begin to emit a pure white light until it covered the entire Radio.

At this moment, the Radio was like those Immortal Artifacts from mythical TV shows, glowing with light. The light wasn’t harsh at all; it gave a warm feeling.

Zhou Yu’s face showed wonder. The moment the Radio slowly lit up was incredibly beautiful and truly magical.

After the Radio was covered in light, he gently touched it. Just like the process when it lit up, the light on it gradually faded away.

Holding the Radio, Zhou Yu was filled with anticipation. He wondered if it would connect to Uncle-Master Wu’s Xuantian Sect or Fairy Suxin’s Immortal Sound Sect this time.

He slowly turned on the switch, placed his hand on the Radio’s tuning knob, and slowly turned it.

When the Radio activated, no matter where he tuned the frequency last time, next time it would start from the top again.

When he tuned to Fairy Suxin’s frequency, the Radio still gave off static. The zither music he hoped for didn’t appear; that ethereal voice wasn’t there either.

Zhou Yu continued tuning downward and again reached Uncle-Master Wu’s frequency. This time, the static disappeared, and he heard a few calls of immortal cranes.

Hearing these immortal crane calls, he smiled. It seemed getting a few immortal cranes to guard the house wouldn’t be bad.

However, his thoughts didn’t cause any change in the Radio. At this moment, a loud laugh came from the Radio, “Haha, Senior Brother Wu, it seems you’re not very pleased with this junior brother’s visit. It’s just taking one of your gardens.”

“Hmph. You want to use a Spirit Herb Garden that concerns the development of all our sect’s disciples to plant things for the Divine Chef Villa. That’s practically trying to destroy the Xuantian Sect.” Uncle-Master Wu snorted coldly, speaking bluntly.

“Haha, Senior Brother, I didn’t just do this on my own. The Sect Leader and the Elders agreed. The Divine Chef Villa holds a very important position in the Mortal World. Although we are Cultivation practitioners, we still have ties to the mortal realm. What’s more, cooperating with the Divine Chef Villa benefits us too. And all we’re giving up is one out of three Spirit Herb Gardens.”

The person laughed loudly again, his voice full of gloating.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu showed a strange expression. This person seemed to have taken one of Uncle-Master Wu’s Spirit Herb Gardens to plant things for the Divine Chef Villa. Divine Chef Villa… from the name, it sounded like, similar to the new oriental school with eight hundred beds, it was in the chef business, right?

“Cooperate? Our Xuantian Sect has many disciples, and Spirit Grass is already scarce. Yet you want to set aside one to plant things related to the Mortal World. That’s simply putting the cart before the horse. Song Qingxiu, one day, the Xuantian Sect will be ruined by greedy people like you.” Uncle-Master Wu sneered again, his tone full of anger.

Song Qingxiu gave a strange, mocking laugh. “Heh heh, Senior Brother Wu, don’t act so righteous, as if you’re completely dedicated to the sect’s development. You’re just upset that I took one of your Spirit Herb Gardens and diluted your authority.”

“You’ve just been a bit obsessed lately, even saying there’s a Cultivation Senior stealing your stuff—a Low-Grade Spirit Gathering Array, Spirit Stabilizing Liquid, Spirit Beast Pills, all worthless things. You even got two senior brothers to guard the place. They were here for days, and you didn’t lose anything. As soon as they left, you lost stuff.”

“A Cultivation Senior, instead of focusing on improving his Cultivation, wastes time stealing your worthless things. That’s really strange.”

“Didn’t you say this Cultivation Senior is shameless, specifically stealing from juniors? I’m standing right here. Come steal my stuff, Senior. I have lots of good things on me. Come steal my stuff. Come on, hurry up!” By the end, Song Qingxiu laughed like a madman.
