Chapter Seventy: The Chaos Caused by the Immortal Herb
Liu Yu and the others happily walked back with the magic herb in their hands. Along the way, Liu Yu hummed a little tune, thinking that with this magic herb, they could solve many problems.
Suddenly, a chubby fellow blocked their path. He had a round head and small, darting eyes, and began speaking in a thick Sichuan dialect: "Hey, you guys are lucky! You actually found the magic herb. This magic herb, well, it's a free-for-all, like a mouse with a revolver—it's got the urge to steal from the cat, I want a share too!"
Liu Yu glared at him and said, "Who are you? What right do you have to take our magic herb? We went through so much trouble to find it. Don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat—it's all wishful thinking!"
The fat man put his hands on his hips and said, "Hmph, you won't give it to me? That's not up to you. I'm determined to have this immortal herb today, just like a tortoise trying to eat a weight—I'm made up my mind!"
Xiaoqing stepped forward, drew her sword, and said, "You dare to steal? Try my sword and see if it agrees. I'll beat you until your skin is turned into a steamer—you worthless wretch!"
The fat guy wasn't scared at all, and said with a grin, "Little brat, you've got quite the nerve. You think I'm afraid of you? I'm Zhang Fei, the butcher—all talk and no action!"
As he spoke, he rushed over and started fighting with Xiaoqing.
Xu Xian shouted anxiously from the side, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
Bai Suzhen was also about to lend a hand, but Liu Yu stopped her, saying, "Let Xiaoqing teach this guy a lesson first."
Xiao Qing's swordsmanship was fierce, and the fat guy gradually couldn't keep up, panting heavily.
As he fought, he said, "Oh dear, I misjudged you. I've met a tough opponent today. I'm just picking up the pieces of a peach in the middle of the night!"
Xiaoqing pointed her sword at him and shouted, "Get out of here!"
The fat man hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'll leave, I'll leave, please spare my life, young lady!" After saying that, he took off running.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued on their way.
They hadn't gone far when they encountered more trouble. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a torrential downpour began.
Liu Yu complained, "What kind of awful weather is this? It's like having a fan in June—everyone's busy!"
They quickly sought shelter from the rain and came to a dilapidated temple.
As soon as I entered the temple, I heard a commotion coming from inside.
Upon entering, one finds a group of little monsters arguing over a jade pendant.
A little monster with pointed ears said, "This jade pendant is mine. Don't be so ungrateful as to try to take it from me!"
Another short little monster said, "You're talking nonsense! I was the one who found it first! This is like washing your face with burlap—a first encounter!"
Liu Yu stepped forward and said, "Stop arguing, stop arguing, let's all give way."
The little monsters turned to look at him: "Who do you think you are? Mind your own business, or you'll be in for a world of hurt, like a cat scratching a rice cake—you won't be able to get your claws off!"
Bai Suzhen said, "We should all value harmony. Why should we ruin our peace over a jade pendant?"
The little monsters wouldn't listen and started arguing again.
Liu Yu said helplessly, "Oh dear, I'm like a scholar encountering a soldier—I can't reason with him!"
Just then, the system's voice rang in Liu Yu's mind: "Host, you will receive an extra reward for helping the little monsters solve the problem of the jade pendant's ownership."
Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "There's such a good thing?"
He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you have a competition, and whoever wins gets the jade pendant."
The little monsters thought it was a good idea and agreed.
The competition began, and the little monsters showed off their unique abilities. Some did somersaults, some sang, and some danced, creating a very lively scene.
In the end, a little monster that could breathe fire won the competition.
Although the other lesser monsters were somewhat unwilling, they stopped arguing.
Just as Liu Yu and the others were about to leave, the little monster who had won the competition ran over and handed Liu Yu a small cloth bag: "Thank you, this is a gift for you."
Liu Yu opened it and found some precious herbs inside.
He exclaimed happily, "This is truly like finding a needle in a haystack—it came to me without any effort at all!"
The rain stopped, and they continued on their way.
After returning home, Liu Yu prepared to use the herb.
But his hand slipped, and the fairy herb fell into the water vat.
Liu Yu was dumbfounded: "Oh dear, what am I going to do? This is like a monkey trying to catch the moon—all my efforts have been in vain!"
Xu Xian said, "Don't worry, let's see if there's any way to fix it."
They scooped the water out of the water tank and discovered that the water had magical effects.
Liu Yu laughed and said, "That's not bad either. It's like turning misfortune into blessing, like a beggar finding a gold bar—a pleasant surprise!"
Just then, a group of people came to the door, saying they had heard about the magic herb and wanted to ask for some divine water.
Liu Yu generously gave them to them.
Unexpectedly, the news spread further and further, and more and more people came.
The house was packed with people, and Liu Yu and the others were extremely busy.
As Liu Yu served water to people, she said, "I'm just trying to make a big scene out of this!"
Finally, after all the herbal water had been distributed, people left satisfied.
Liu Yu collapsed to the ground, exhausted: "Oh dear, today has really worn me out. It was like an old ox pulling a broken cart—slow and sluggish!"
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "It's a good thing if I can help everyone."
Just as they were preparing to rest, the system issued a new task...
