XIAO SHUXIANG'S

111 - Branch of the Peacock Stork Association [Revised]

Jing Mi and her friends did not hear the sound of Xiao Shuxiang fighting. They only felt the wind blow quite fiercely accompanied by a strange feeling of pressing down on their chests.

No one intended to peek, this also made Xiao Shuxiang feel that Jing Mi and her friends deserved her trust.

As Xiao Shuxiang requested that they open their eyes, Jing Mi and the others were shocked to see herself sitting on the head of the rat monster.

Yi Wen and Hou Yong were astonished, the huge rat that was so ferocious became docile and looked familiar to Xiao Shuxiang.

"What have you done, Brother Xiao?"

"Bao Yu, he will be your new member. His name was Ping Gou," Xiao Shuxiang introduced the silver-haired mouse with a friendly smile.

Jing Mi and Ro Wei looked at each other, they still did not understand the way Xiao Shuxiang tamed the 2000-year-old Demonic Beast.

Zhi Shu and Feng Ying did not look bothered by the confusion of her friends, they were both delighted at the arrival of new friends. The two immediately hugged the silver-haired mouse and tried to climb onto it.

"Hey, I'm going up too!" Yi Wen exclaimed, he was also willing to feel sitting on top of the Demonic Beast.

Jing Mi rubbed her chin, she was still thinking about the way Xiao Shuxiang tamed the rat monster, but Hai Feng immediately pulled her and invited her to get acquainted with Ping Gou.

The work of building a residence and tidying up their territory became light because it was assisted by Ping Gou and his small mouse army.

In just two days, four buildings were already standing firmly. The first two-story building, designated as the residence of the Grand Elder.

One building was for female students, the other was for male students, and the last building was used as a kitchen as well as a place for Xiao Shuxiang's experiments.

"This is a temporary place, the building should not be too conspicuous."

Jing Mi and Bao Yu nodded, they looked happy to be able to build a house with their own manpower. This feeling they will never forget.

A few little mice helped Ro Wei and Feng Ying make the fields, they wanted to plant them with yams and potatoes.

When he saw Xiao Shuxiang carrying a wooden block, Ro Wei asked. "Brother Xiao, can we grow some herbs?"

"Can too. Leave it a little, I'll take some Third Patriarch crops to plant,"

In addition to fields and buildings, they also make training grounds that are adapted to the thickness of trees.

Originally Jing Mi and Bao Yu wanted to cut down more, but Xiao Shuxiang forbade because he wanted their place to remain hidden.

After the four buildings were completely finished, Hou Yong and Yi Wen felt there was still something lacking. Apparently they forgot the most important thing that was so needed.

Hou Yong, "There's no water source here..."

!!

Jing Mi only regained her senses when she heard Hou Yong say, "Jeez. I forgot about that, even during our conversation at the Rest Hall, I did not bring up this 'water' issue. I'm sorry.."

Xiao Shuxiang, "No need to apologize, I told you you have the most important asset. Water problem, will be solved soon.."

Xiao Shuxiang asked Ping Gou to dig a hole, he also wanted his friends to help Ping Gou make some kind of pond and of course he did not want any trees cut down anymore.

"Bao Yu, you're coming with me."

Bao Yu nodded, he then followed Xiao Shuxiang with a flying sword ride towards the residence of the Third Patriarch.

When Xiao Shuxiang and Bao Yu left, Hou Yong and his friends began to do their duty.

No one feels this exhausting, instead they look very happy and occasionally play.

The pool is made so beautiful with stone ornaments on the base and edges. Xiao Shuxiang and Bao Yu had only returned after nightfall.

"Help me plant it," Xiao Shuxiang asked Bao Yu to give her luggage to Jing Mi and her friends. It turned out that Bao Yu was carrying a small reddish-yellow grass-type plant.

Xiao Shuxiang and Zhi Shu planted it at the bottom of the pond, while another friend planted it on the edge of the pond.

Yi Wen asked about the grass, "What grass is this? It smells like cinnamon,"

Hou Yong kissed the grass and nodded, "You're right. I want to eat it."

Xiao Shuxiang, "It's best not to eat. You will soon know the use of the grass.

"Alright, we just have to wait another three hours.." Xiao Shuxiang invited his friends to rest, their clothes were all so dirty.

Not only clothes, but their bodies were equally dirty. Yi Wen and Ro Wei complained about their sticky bodies. Both wanted to take a shower.

"I need new clothes, while I'm in the Sky Sword Sect.. Our clothes were all prepared, but now.." Yi Wen while rolling on the ground, he continued muttering a lot of things.

Ro Wei and Zhi Shu had also never thought of buying new clothes. The pay when completing the mission they used to improve the practice and now only one spirit stone left.

Not only Ro Wei and Zhi Shu, his other friends were like that as well. In fact, Jing Mi, Hou Yong, Bao Yu and Hai Feng no longer had spirit stones.

Jing Mi, "What should we do?"

"This sword is not ours either, and tomorrow must be returned.." Hou Yong rubbed his sword, he was not willing to return the sword in his hand.

Xiao Shuxiang sighed, the clothes of his friends were the shabby uniforms of the Butterfly Sect that on their first day wore when it came to the Sky Sword Sect.

Xiao Shuxiang, "Tomorrow we'll go shopping,"

"Brother Xiao.. The money was not enough," Yi Wen rolled back, this time Zhi Shu and Feng Ying followed him.

"Bas a boy, look at it tomorrow. I want to take a shower first," Xiao Shuxiang walked over to the pool,.

The pond was filled with clear water that seemed to shine under the moon.

The roots of the yellow grass were so small and thin that it was able to penetrate into the ground and move so quickly to the source of the spring.

The water comes out from the ends of the leaves on the yellow grass and fills the pond to the brim.

This grass was one of the favorite herbs of the Third Patriarch and Xiao Shuxiang.

Grass with leaves as high as the index finger of adults, in fact able to make a big change. Jing Mi and her friends did not have to bother anymore to look for the source of the spring.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang protested, he wanted to take a bath first without being disturbed by his friends. It's just that his protest was not taken care of.

"I'm gonna take a shower, too,"

"JOB!!"

Jing Mi and Bao Yu immediately shouted as Yi Wen almost took off her clothes, the faces of the two looked panicked.

"What Are You?! We'll Shower Too!!" Ro Wei ruffled her waist, she protested because Yi Wen was not allowed to bathe with them.

Xiao Shuxiang did not care at all about the girls' quarrel with Jing Mi and Bao Yu. He was just leaning on the lip of the pool while enjoying a massage by Ping Gou.

He praised Ping Gou for making a large pond, Xiao Shuxiang then asked him to enter the pool and become a barrier so that the girls could take a bath.

Throughout the night, Jing Mi and her friends continued to soak while occasionally wiping the silver feathers of Ping Gou. Yellow grass in addition to its uniqueness, it turns out to have properties to brighten the body.

"Well, kids..! We've arrived,"

Xiao Shuxiang smiled as he looked at the large building in front of him. There was a board that read Branch of the Peacock Stork Association.

Jing Mi and her friends knew this place, they often came here to buy pills or just look around the heirlooms.

"Brother, our money isn't enough to buy one thing in there.." Jing Mi touched Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder, "I know the nature of the people inside this building are only friendly to those who have a lot of money."

Xiao Shuxiang, "Aren't you famous as the Eight Heirs of the Sword? They should be polite to you,"

Mi Jing. "Brother Xiao. That was then, in the end we didn't really inherit any swords,"

Xiao Shuxiang patted Jing Mi on the back, "Everything will be fine. Come on in, and find your swords..!"

Even though the building in front of them was only one branch of the Peacock Stork Association, in fact it was spacious and the completeness in it could not be seen one eye.

Building with three floors, where the more up to the top floor then the price and quality of goods sold the better.

As Xiao Shuxiang and his friends walked into the building, an elegant dark-brown feel greeted them.

There are dozens of glass tubs in it filled with many heirloom objects of various shapes. Each wall is also not separated from valuables.

Some customers directed their attention to Xiao Shuxiang and his companions. Among these nine children, only Xiao Shuxiang's clothes looked good.

Xiao Shuxiang approached one of the employees who appeared to be standing while offering various items to the customers. "Excuse me, Miss pretty? Do you know about the best quality fabrics sold in this place?"

?!

At first, an associate employee who was a young girl objected to serving a small child. Yet he saw the sword on Xiao Shuxiang's waist was a flying sword belonging to the Sky Sword Sect.

Feeling that Xiao Shuxiang was an undercover disciple, he smiled as gently as he could. In the heart of this young girl stroking her chest, luckily she did not offend Xiao Shuxiang.

"Young Master, come with me.." Association officials took Xiao Shuxiang and his friends to the back area, where the glass tub contains the best heirloom fabrics in this building.

One by one the fabric is explained in detail to the uniqueness and durability of each.

Jing Mi and Hou Yong were so seriously paying attention, they were attracted by the cloth that was able to protect its wearer from the attacks of cultivators at the 15th level of Forging Qi.

Merely, when the young girl mentioned the price, Jing Mi and Hou Yong's breath seemed interested in rising. They can't afford it.

After listening to the explanation regarding the heirloom cloth in front of him, Xiao Shuxiang asked. "How is the sale and purchase transaction in this Branch of the Association?"

The associate official said, "Young Master. We not only sell but also buy various kinds of objects from customers who intend to sell them. The price we offer depends on the quality and scarcity of the goods,"

"Then, did you guys buy pills?"

The associate employee smiled, "Pills are rare items and we need them the most. So far, the association members are looking for the best Alchemists and trying to recruit them, but there are not many Alchemists in this Continent,"

Jing Mi and Hou Yong glanced at each other then smiled widely, both of them had just understood Xiao Shuxiang's intention of calling himself the greatest asset of their sect's development.

"Beautiful Miss, can I meet the person in charge of this place?" Xiao Shuxiang said, "I want to sell you something that your association is very much looking for. But I don't want to say it more clearly because I'm worried that any of your customers have bad intentions."

"But..."

Hai Feng's. "Miss, don't think too long. We don't have much time. If this place doesn't want to buy it because it sees we're still kids in this shabby outfit, then we'll go somewhere else,"

Hai Feng had previously been taught by Xiao Shuxiang. As his brother had said, they would definitely be underestimated.

"But Miss Beautiful, I'm sure you'll cry and lose your job if you ignore my brother's request.." Jing Mi patted Xiao Shuxiang on the shoulder, she smiled with a serious face staring at the association employee.

"Heah.. There are-there are these kids.. All right, Young Master. Please wait a minute.."

Hai Feng and his friends gave a smile, they waited until the girl came back.

Mi Jing. "Brother Xiao, if the Miss doesn't return, how?"

"Brother Jing, I taught you my rules, didn't I? First, be as kind and friendly as possible. Second, when kindness is not received... Just press them with force. Do you remember the plan?"

"Of course, Brother. We and Ping Gou's troops were just waiting for orders" Yi Wen showed his evil grin, but his face was immediately smothered by Zhi Shu and Ro Wei.

Both of them were shocked because Yi Wen could make a frightening grin. Zhi Shu pressed down on Yi Wen's head while asking whose evil spirit had entered into his brother's body.

"Whoever is inside, tell me your name?!"

"Zhi Shu, don't mess around." Xiao Shuxiang did not want to be expelled just because of the behavior of these children, his gaze immediately turned his head when he heard the voice of a girl they had been waiting for a long time.

This girl requested that Xiao Shuxiang come with her, while Jing Mi and the others remained silent and waited for them.
