Mrs. Shu was glad that she had two good sons. Not only do they both have the qualifications of monster tamer, but they also have good luck. Each foundation was built for eight years!
In this world, might make right. Money, intelligence, fighting ability, political power were all types of might. And being a monster tamer was a symbol of mighty!
Mrs. Shu did not have the talent to become a monster tamer. She often regretted that if she had such a talent, she might be able to grasp her destiny and seize her happiness, not need to listen to the family’s order.
But now, this regret has left her.
Although I don’t have talent, I have both of my babies! And both of them have a High-grade monster.
This is a great starting point!
In the future, they could inherit Shu Clan Island. Then her sacrificed youth, 38 years of endurance, all became worth it!
At the thought of this, Mrs. Shu was in a turbulent mood, and the water surface in the cup was also a little volatile.
“Madam, that Chu Yun boy has come out.” At this time, someone told him.
“He must have failed and too ashamed to stay. A medium-grade Fire Fox? Just leave him alone.” Mrs. Shu was extremely calm.
If it had been before, Chu Yun still felt a little threatening in her mind. But since learning about Shu Da and Shu Er, Mrs. Shu ruled out Chu Yun in her heart.
His not worthy to be looked at again.
The might of Shu Da and Shu Er is obvious to all. How can a Fire Fox win?
She didn’t know why Shu Da and Shu Er still stayed at the altar. Their excuse was to learn the spell from the jade slip, but the truth was that they’re afraid to come back to face her.
After a long while, Shu Da and Shu Er finally returned to the carriage.
Mrs. Shu gently sighed towards the steaming tea and sighed slightly dissatisfied: “Well, although this Sea Jade tea is good, it needs to be boiled for three hours to dissolve. You can’t drink eagerly, but it’s too fragrant. ”
Having said that, she smiled softly at the two brothers: “Stop saying, I also want to hear, whoever of you got first, who got second.”
Shu Da and Shu looked at each other. Shu Er shook the corner of his mouth and reluctantly preceded: “Mother, I have ranked second.”
“Haha, don’t worry, both of you are my lovely sons. So, you, Shu Da, have the first place, it means you have the ability to be an elder brother.” Mrs. Shu was very happy.
Shu Da was reluctant, but he knows that the assessment results would be known to others sooner or later. It’s no use to hide.
“Mother, I ranked third.” Right now, he bit his head arrogantly.
“As I thought, you got the first … third place?” Mrs. Shu’s face suddenly changed, her gentle tone suddenly flickered, and became sharp and harsh.
“Mother, this is also a surprise to us. That bastard Chu Yun’s Fire Fox is mutated …” Shu Er immediately shrugged off responsibility and explained the details.
Mrs. Shu was stunned, and before she finished speaking, she shouted, “How is that possible? How can a mutant Fire Fox be better than the Sea Crocodile and the Green-Toothed Snake? This is not in line with common sense! ”
“Mother, mutant monsters cannot be inferred by common sense.” Shu Da recited Chu Yun’s words.
Shu Er added: “Our teacher has said the same thing.”
“I don’t believe it!” Mrs. Shu looked stern and stood up. The carriage was so spacious that she could stand straight without hitting her head. But she forgot that she still had a good cup of Sea Jade tea in her hand.
The hot tea sprayed everyone, making the three people in the car jumped in panic, and the scene was chaotic.
At the Salty Fishing village, the once-a-month market has dispersed.
Thousand Treasure shops have hung the sign “Closed”. A group of villagers gathered around the door, sacked with sack-packed materials.
“Why is it closed?”
“In the whole fishing village, the price of this shop is the fairest.”
“Yeah, I should have sold the goods in my hand since a few days ago!”
…
Chu Yun hid in the crowd, listened quietly, and figured that Thousand Treasure shop was not simple. Their influence was quite high among the villagers and praised by others. Behind the curtain, they killed people for money and did that carefully. Once the cat was out of the bag, they immediately retreated decisively.
In his previous life’s memory, Thousand Treasure shop was not outstanding and impressive. But now he found the true face of this shop.
The other party fled, but Chu Yun’s heart wasn’t calm down. Intuition told him that the matter did not end there.
He came to the salt shop of the old Honggun again, wanting to share the good news with him, but the shop turned out to be empty. The shopkeeper informed that after the monthly market, the old Honggun went back to the salt field. He wouldn’t come back for the next few days.
Chu Yun touched the only 6 Earth Stone Coins left in his pocket, then decided: first went to the liquor store to buy a pot of wine and a few spiced cooking. After spending the last coin, he rushed to the salting place with the wine and food.
There was a large salt field in the northern part of the Salty Fishing village. Most of the dried sea salt was consumed domestically, only a small part was sold.
The salt field of Old Honggun was the largest in a fishing village, covering an area of more than 50 acres. There was a humble manor next to the salt field, which was his home.
Chu Yun arrived at the manor and unexpectedly found that in addition to the old Honggun, old Joe Monkey and the old Yuwang were also here. The three were sitting around a small table, sitting on three benches, and eating peanuts in a bowl.
They were all in their 70s but still mentally frustrated. Talking wildly, drinking red ears, and enthusiasm. As if at this moment, they were returning to their former military life.
They talked about their youth, about their life stories.
Chu Yun stood at the door and listened to them drinking and recalling the old days. He considered the three old men in front of him as his grandpas.
He was adopted by Shu Tianhao from an early age. At that time, the old Honggun, the old Joe Monkey, and the old Yuwang were all centurions of Shu Clan Island. They watched Chu Yun grow up, treating Chu Yun as their grandson.
Chu Yun didn’t break in, just listened quietly.
From time to time, the three old men said about the difficulties in the salt field, how the Jade Kelp die one after another, how pirates became more fierce and increasing in numbers, wishing that the island lord Shu Tianhao would come out of the trough and back to his prime.
Of course, they talked the most about Chu Yun.
“I heard that Little Yun chose a Fire Fox egg. How is the result of the assessment this time?” Old Yuwang sighed, his face worried.
“Little Yun’s luck is not good. Among three monster eggs, he got the only medium-grade one, just … oh!” Old Joe Monkey was not optimistic about the results of the assessment, sighed deeply.
Old Honggun raised the bowl and said with emotion: “The boy and his dad have the same character, and they like to carry everything by themselves. What I am worried about now is that the last time there is a heavenly tribulation in the forest, did it affect his incubation progress? ”
After speaking, he raised the bowl to his mouth and drank, but found that it’s empty.
The old Honggun stunned: “Did we run out of wine?”
The old Joe Mokey shook the jar of wine next to him and smiled bitterly: “We’re really out of wine.”
The old Yuwang pursed his lips, apparently inexhaustible, suddenly wrinkled his nose, and wondered: “How is it still so fragrant? What a strong wine!”
Driven by the scent of wine, as soon as he turned his head, the old Yuwang saw Chu Yun standing at the door. The teenager held a large wine gourd in his hand and deliberately pulled the cap. The wind blowing through the hall drove the scent of wine.
The old Yuwang immediately cursed with a smile: “Tricky boy! Do you want to see me drooling?”
The other two elders followed and laughed.
“How can it be?” Chu Yun grinned and shook his hand. “This boy bought some wine and deliberately to honor the three grandpas. How can I hatch the monster egg and win the first test without your help? ”
The three old men heard the words and looked stunned.
The old Honggun first reacted and was pleasantly surprised: “First? Boy, have you really ranked first?”
“How can I lie in this matter?” Chu Yun raised an eyebrow, surely.
“Ha ha ha, the little guy has grown up!” Old Joe Monkey thumbed up at Chu Yun and laughed.
The old Honggun and the old Yuwang looked at each other, and they saw the surprise in each other’s eyes mixed with a look of doubt. They knew that Chu Yun’s Fire Fox was s medium-grade monster. How could it beat the Sea Crocodile and the Green-Toothed Snake?
Incredible!
“Let’s eat and talk.” Chu Yun squeezed onto the table with a smile, while pouring wine and dishes, he said the details.
Of course, Heavenly Fox’s identity was concealed intentionally. It’s not that he deliberately deceived the three old people, but that it was really important. If it’s exposed in the future, the three old men would definitely understand him.
“Mutant Fire Fox?” Old Honggun listened to the explanation, watching the snow-white fox, and immediately believed.
“Little guy, good luck! A Fire Fox has actually mutated to such an extent. It gained the aptitude of eight years after building the foundation. Incredible, unbelievable!” Old Yuwang said with emotion.
The old Joe Monkey was happy but still frowned: “However, mutant monsters have short lifespans and limited potential. Little Yun, don’t blame the old man for pouring cold water on you. You have to replace other monsters as soon as possible. ”
The warm atmosphere suddenly eased.
“Grandpa Joe, rest assured, I understand that!” Chu Yun naturally had his own plans, and now he was serious and perfunctory.
“That’s it! Haha!” Joe Monkey laughed, patted Chu Yun’s shoulder, and pleased him sincerely. “The little guy has good luck. With this mutant Fire Fox, you can take first place. By the time you can join Heaven’s Song Academy and have a brighter future than in Shu Clan Island. ”
“I think so too.” Chu Yun nodded.
“Very good, the little guy has a heart in mind.”
“Good job!”
Three old men couldn’t help but smiled. The original worry turned into joy. At present, the cups were changed and the atmosphere was strong and warm.
“By the way, there is one thing, you have to talk to the three grandpas.” During the meal, Chu Yun retold the Thousand Treasure shop’s actions.
“What? There is such a thing!” Three old men suddenly changed their expression, showing a shocked and solemn look.
Chu Yun’s heart broke out, and it seemed that the situation was more serious and complicated than he thought. He immediately asked: “Is there any hidden inside story?”
