Chapter 13 Catching Bugs

"The bold little Golden Crow, how dare you come to the depths of my lotus flowers to privately pick ten thousand-year-old snow lotus roots!"

An elegant and serious voice came through the air.

Zhiying rubbed her hands together and spread the jade paste evenly, and a fragrance came out, covering up the quiet lotus fragrance deep in the lotus flowers.

She looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a woman coming in waves, growing lotuses every step of the way, causing the lotus fields to ripple and the green lotus fragrance to float.

When he came to see her face, Zhi Ying could see her face clearly. She had two curves of distant mountains and a pair of autumn eyes. She was obviously as gentle as water, but she liked to frown coldly and suppress her smile.

Wearing a white dress as pale as water, she looked even more deserted than the white clouds in her shadow palace.

Although Zhiying had almost no chance to go out and identify people, she still recognized the identity of the woman in front of her at a glance based on the knowledge of heaven that Qu Mi told her.

She gave a brief salute to the woman: "I have seen the flower god."

The name of the Flower God in June is Fuli.

It stands to reason that the position held by Zhi Ying is at the same level as Fu Fu's June Order Flower God, so Fu Fu should pay her half a courtesy.

But Fuu didn't like to go out much, so she hadn't seen her. In addition, she was standing with Little Golden Crow at the moment, so Fuu just nodded to her lightly, and then looked at the troublesome Little Golden Crow behind her.

Weaver Ying was not annoyed, as she didn't care about these complicated and useless heavenly etiquette.

On the other side, when Little Golden Crow saw Fu Rui coming, he knew that he couldn't get away easily this time.

He slowly put away the jade ointment, and without even paying any courtesy to the lotus, he said, "What punishment does the Flower God want to give to you in June? I'll do it next."

His tone was cold and his attitude was unruly, and he had no intention of admitting his wrongdoing at all.

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of Zhiying's forehead. He had never seen someone so confident in stealing someone's things, let alone involving her!

"Flower Master, this little thief has committed an unforgivable crime by stealing the thousand-year-old snow lotus root deep inside my lotus flower. You must punish him severely!" the guard Xiaoxian Handan interrupted.

Zhiying said nothing, and the corners of Little Golden Crow's lips curled up into a playful smile.

Fu Rui in front of her glanced at her coldly, and Han Dan immediately lowered his head.

The lips like the pale red petals of the lotus opened slightly, but her voice was as cold as October frost: "You are the guardian fairy in the depths of the lotus flower. Do you know when they come in? How do they come in? And how do you dig out the thousand-year-old snow lotus root?"

"

Han Dan fell asleep just now, and she was not woken up until Little Golden Crow was so angry that Zhi Ying jumped. How did she know this? When faced with Fu Ru's questions, she naturally had no idea.

Fu Rui raised her hand and placed her fingertips on Han Dan's forehead. A budding red lotus was drawn out while spinning, and Fu Rui closed the red lotus with her five fingers.

She turned around, without even looking at Han Dan, who was kneeling in fear, and said softly to him: "The trainee female fairy Han Dan has neglected her duties. Now she has taken away her position and driven her out of the lotus root. You can go on your own."

With a wave of his sleeves, before Han Dan could plead for mercy, he was driven out of the lotus root and disappeared.

Zhi Ying was indifferent and did her job and fulfilled her responsibilities. It was understandable that she was fired by her boss because of her poor supervision. However, seeing Fu Fu's coldness, sharpness, and resolute actions, Zhi Ying felt sorry for her severe punishment.

At this time, Fu Rui had already looked over: "You secretly went into the depths of the lotus flowers, and secretly harvested ten thousand-year-old snow lotus roots. I will order you to drive away the Spodoptera exigua from the depths of the lotus flowers. Then you can go away, and I will not hold you responsible again."

"

When the little Golden Crow heard that it was just repelling insects, it was no big deal, and he immediately agreed briskly.

Zhiying glanced at him but said nothing.

Spodoptera exigua, as its name suggests, has lotus-like wing patterns and it lies dormant during the day and emerges at night.

So Zhiying and Little Golden Crow sat on the lotus leaf deep in the lotus flower and waited until dark.

Weaver Ying likes to look at the moon when she comes here.

Although it is cold and refreshing, the moonlight this night is light yellow and round. Even though there are big and small spots, it still makes people feel warm and cozy.

Fifteen...

Zhiying lowered his head and calculated, today is the 15th day of August in the calendar year 242,679, the eve of the moon, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There is no earthly food in heaven, and there are no mooncakes.

There is no reunion.

Zhiying looked at the little golden crow who was going crazy with his hands waving wildly in front of him, and couldn't help but smile. There is a golden bird that catches bugs!

The little Golden Crow catching bugs was very angry.

This Spodoptera exigua is extremely small, only as big as two fingernails. It only comes out at night and is almost invisible among the flowers and leaves, making it difficult to catch.

In addition, this kind of bug is naturally gluttonous, and Fu Rui was very distressed by it. She happened to encounter the two troublemakers Xiao Jinwu and Zhi Ying who dug up her lotus roots, and simply dumped the mess to them.

It would be great if she could catch him. If not, she would find another way. She had known for a long time that Xiao Jinwu was the emperor's disciple, so how could she still hold him captive?

Little Golden Crow and Weaver Shadow are both fledgling gods.

Emperor Donghua focused on Little Golden Crow to train his magic skills and calm his mind, but he had not yet been taught the mental skills.

As for Zhi Ying, although she lived for twenty-two years in two lives combined, she was ignorant when she was young. When she became sensible, she was thrown into school, and then she was handed over to the hospital for the next six years. When she came here, she was constantly in trouble, big and small.

Do you have time to learn to read people’s minds?

Therefore, two people who can be said to be simple-minded were tricked by the flower god who looked cold but was actually evil and came to catch bugs.

The Spodoptera exigua slipped away from his hand again, and Little Golden Crow's already limited patience finally ran out.

Seeing that Zhiying no longer tinkered with the broken lamp in the drummer, but was holding his face in his hands and smiling stupidly, his face suddenly became livid.

Why is he here trying so hard to catch bugs while she is sitting there?!

Little Golden Crow jumped over and sat in front of Zhi Ying, causing the lotus leaves to sway and interrupting Zhi Ying's thoughts.

"What she said was that we had to clean up the Spodoptera exigua. Did you not hear clearly, or are you just a lazy insect waiting for me to catch it?"

Zhiying raised his eyebrows and asked instead: "If the law has disadvantages, it must not be changed. You have been catching bugs for so long, how many have you caught? How many have escaped?"

Little Jinwu's livid face turned red, he looked away, and his voice was muffled as if covered with a layer of skin: "Less than 30%, half of them escaped."

Zhi Ying was so happy that she couldn't help but couldn't help the curve of her mouth. She cleared her throat and half-spoken to Little Golden Crow: "I have a way to attract these Spodoptera exigua..."

"How can you still sit here?" Xiao Jinwu didn't believe it at all.

It's not that he doubts Weaver Ying's wisdom, it's just that Weaver Ying's ability is clearly there. He was taught by the emperor himself and is still helpless. At best, Weaver Ying is only about the same as him, so what good solution can he do?

"Those who are confident are always calm." If Xiao Jinwu would say anything else to hurt her and ruin her good mood, she stopped trying to be pretentious and took out the colored glaze lamp she had made during the day from her sleeve and placed it in front of Xiao Jinwu.

A pair of eyes bent into a beautiful crescent moon: "Look at this."

Xiao Jinwu raised his eyes and found that it was the glazed lamp she was tinkering with, and frowned. But seeing Zhiying's bright eyes and confident appearance, Xiao Jinwu decided to give her some face.

He took it in his hand and looked at the moonlight at Weaver's signal. After a quick glance, he noticed that the complicated patterns he saw during the day were not the patterns engraved on the lampshade.

But under the moonlight, countless holes the size of fingernails on the glass lantern were revealed, and the entire lantern was like a hollow work of art, reflecting the moonlight in a strange and bizarre way.

But he still didn't think this glass lamp had anything to do with catching the Spodoptera exigua.

Zhi Ying made a request directly: "I want you three taels of jade wine spring and a small cluster of true sun fire."

Seeing the little Golden Crow's hesitation, she explained: "It won't be wasted, all of it will be used to catch Spodoptera exigua. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink from the Yuli Spring, but the sun is really hot, you can take it back."

If you don't mind being dirty.

Zhi Ying added silently in his heart.

Xiao Jinwu suspiciously gave her the gourd containing the jade wine spring, but saw her pour the jade wine spring into the bottom of the lampshade and put the colored glass lamp in front of him.

"If possible, it would be best if the true sun fire can hover above the Yulin Spring, which is the very center of the glazed lantern."

Little Jinwu seemed to understand her intention.

He simply separated out a small cluster of true sun fire and guided it to stop in the center of the glazed lamp.

Then, Zhiying carefully placed the glazed lamp in the center of the lotus flower, ran back, and hid with the little golden crow under the shade of a thousand-year-old tree on the bank of the lotus flower.

Zhiying saw Little Golden Crow staring intently at the situation on the other side of the glazed lamp, and said, "If you look at the lamp for too long, you will get dazzled."

Little Golden Crow shook his head: "The emperor has specially trained me. I can look at the sun all day long without getting dazzled."

His tone was calm and he didn't seem to think it was torture.

But Zhi Ying felt strange: "Why do you train me to do this? You don't need to learn from Hou Yi to shoot the sun."

Little Golden Crow's eyes were glazed over and he looked sideways.

Zhi Ying suddenly remembered that this guy was from the Sun God clan. Didn't his words mean that he was a madman?

She changed the topic stiffly: "Then what else does the emperor want you to train?"

Seeing that she insisted on diverting his attention, Xiao Jinwu sat back and replied: "Use the source of the true sun fire."

"What is that?"

"The Golden Flame of the Great Sun." After a pause, Little Golden Crow added, "If it can be done, even the Taiyin True Fire of Lord Taiyin Star cannot extinguish it."

It sounded very powerful, but Zhiying saw that Xiao Jinwu had no intention of showing off to her anymore, and knew in his heart that he hadn't learned it yet.

Thank God!

Fortunately, he didn't learn it, otherwise he would throw a ball of golden sun flames at her, and she wouldn't even have a chance to fight back!

At this time, the little Golden Crow stood up and Zhiying followed his gaze.

The outside of the glass lamp with several holes was covered with densely packed Spodoptera exigua, like a swarm of returning bees crowding together to snatch the sweetness in the hive.

However, with a snap of the fingers, half of the Spodoptera exigua on the glazed lamp was lost, but another group came up one after another to replace it, and once again wrapped the glazed lamp into a ball three times its original size.

This cycle continued until there were no more Spodoptera exigua to be replaced, and the shock in Little Golden Crow's heart had not dissipated.

The corners of Zhiying's mouth curled up, and she felt proud, but there was also a hint of astringency in her heart. A slight astringency covered her tear ducts, and the light in front of her was blurry, and then it became multiple.

She hasn't forgotten yet.
