Huaxi City, the second largest city in Baicheng Country after the capital city.
Every March, the city's cherry blossom trees bloom, and their beauty is like a rainbow, earning them the reputation as the most beautiful city in Donglan.
Early in the morning, many small vendors gathered at the market on the east side, setting up tents and stalls. Under the flower trees, various handmade woven products and strange little trinkets enticed countless tourists.
Small balls made of ivory, combs made of rare wood, and all sorts of small houses that came out of snuff bottles, so small they looked like toy houses.
Huaxi City is also known as Toy City. It's referring to these small toys.
Strange toys are not for kids to play with, but for their pets.
On this continent, raising pets, or rather, raising spiritual pets, is something that every spiritual being starts doing from a young age.
Spirit pets are creatures summoned from another world by spirit users. They resemble animals in appearance, but have spiritual power within them and serve their masters faithfully. Therefore, to keep a spirit pet, one must first be a spirit user.
For example, Xiao Zhu Ni Ni, although it's just a palm-sized pet pig, is also an undiminished spiritual pet that has been with Huamu Rong since childhood. If not for this point, Hua Xiyan would have slaughtered this pet pig, which can eat as much as the number one glutton in the world, long ago.
Twelve fine horses pulling a large carriage was too showy and unnecessary, especially with their current tight finances. As soon as they left the poor county, Huā Yùsè found a place to sell the horses. They sold eleven of the good horses and only kept one that could pull the carriage. The silver coins they got from selling the horses barely covered the expenses for mother and son's trip to the capital city.
When arriving in Kyoto, everything requires expenses and uses silver. As the saying goes, having a lot of money is not a problem, but not having enough money is troublesome. Before entering Kyoto, Huajiu had to think of ways to earn more silver again. So, she couldn't help but target this little pig once more.
"Stay in the room, don't run around." After instructing her son to stay in the guest house and study, Hua Xiuyan took a bundle of things wrapped in cloth and put it in her pocket before walking out.
To let his mother leave with peace of mind, Huamurong began to recite the Three Character Classic in a clear and loud voice: "Men at their birth are naturally good. Their natures are similar, but their habits make them different."
Hua Yuezhen walked and praised her son non-stop, saying that he was not a real fool, as long as he calmed down and studied hard, he could recite it.
Mom's footsteps faded away, the vertical three-character scripture book fell down softly, two small hands propped up a delicate and lovely little face: "Nini, do you think mom is silly or not? Obviously this book doesn't have 'people at first are like jade', but mom can recite 'people at first are like jade', and always says that 'people at first are like pigs' is wrong."
Little pig Nini's round head was buried in a ceramic bowl, making only the sound of a mouse nibbling on rice.
Soft and fluffy baozi face, sucked in a mouthful of drool that was about to drip down.
Little Piggy Nini licked the last grain of rice in the ceramic bowl, and upon hearing this sucking sound, her chubby little body shook twice.
The pig's eyes moved slowly to look sideways.
The young master's eyes: ( ˉ﹃ˉ )
Xiao Zhu Ni Ni: Ah!
He dodged behind a porcelain bowl with his four hooves.
Huā Mù Róng Ná xiù kǒu mō gān jìng zuǐ jiǎo de kǒu shuǐ, tǔ dào: "Nī Nī, nǐ zhēn de zhǐ zhū."
Translation:
Hua Mu Rong wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and said, "Ni Ni, you're really a pig."
Nonsense. I was just a pig from the start anyway.
Little pig Nini eats and drinks her fill and lets out a satisfied burp.
It turns out that being too proud of one's pet will incur heavenly punishment. A small hand, like a thunderbolt from the sky, slapped down on Little Piggy NiNi's head.
"You call me a pig, and you really think I'm a pig!"
Am I not a pig?
Little Piggy NiNi was slapped by Little Master and became dizzy, then her little head was rubbed hard by Little Master.
"You are a pig or not, you are my pet. How dare you eat in front of your master and make me hungry too? What to do? Mother is not back yet, I only read one page of the 'Three Character Classic'."
Little pink pig, who was almost turned into a pancake by the little hands, wailed in protest: "I'm just eating my breakfast." Weren't you just done with breakfast less than half an hour ago? How can you be hungry again?
No need to think about it, it's definitely going to be used as an excuse again.
"I won't read anymore. Mother asked about it and said it was your fault. You made me hungry, I'm going out to find something to eat."
He threw down "Three Character Classic" and jumped off the chair.
Take two steps back and look at the little piglet trembling on the table, afraid to come down.
Xiao Zhu Ni Ni is afraid of Little Master, but also afraid of Little Master's mother.
Her small face twisted back and forth, a flash of evil swept across her seemingly innocent peach blossom eyes: "Nini, if I'm so hungry that I'm about to pass out, I'll have no choice but to eat you up."
The red color on Little Piggy's face quickly turned to zero, like a mouse squeaking, jumped off the table and landed on the little boy's shoulder.
Before going out by pulling open the door with a small hand, I finally remembered to leave a note for my mother.
"I don't want to worry Mother." The little face said seriously to the piglet, "But what can I write? If I don't come up with an excuse first and get caught by Mother when I return, she'll kill me."
Little Piggy Nini poked her pig nose: The young master's mother is terrifying!
"Got it!" A flash of inspiration, the brush pointed at the little piglet, "I said you were hungry, making a fuss about wanting to eat. I had no choice but to take you out to find food. If Mother wants to slaughter, she'll slaughter you first."
Little pig Nini's face: ~o (>_<)
It's just a pig waiting to be slaughtered anyway.
One person and one pig slipped out of the inn.
Spring breeze blows warmly over Huaxi City Road. One man and one pig head east. Hua Xiyan heads west.
Walking into an underground medicinal material trading house, Huā Xīyàn lightly cleared her throat and said to the medicine boy at the entrance: "I want to find a buyer for my medicinal materials."
"What medicine?" The young pharmacist saw her ordinary clothes and didn't take a second look.
"Tenma Chikyū Shinzan."
Tianmo Diqui Shen Wan is the scientific name for Little Pig Nini's feces. However, very few people know that it is pig feces, only knowing its scientific name, so even the pharmacist who initially told Hua Yexiang didn't know that Tianmo Diqui Shen Wan was actually pig feces.
Upon hearing the emergence of Tianmo Dizhen God Pill, the customers coming and going from the trading floor all stopped in their tracks.
The crowd was in an uproar, and the legendary Tianmo Dizhen God Pill was visible, its reputation was enormous.
Tianmo Diqui Shen Wan is renowned on the rare medicinal herbs list. Many people have only heard of its name but never seen it before.
Countless people gathered around, surrounding Hua Yu Nian in the middle. The identities of the people here were complex, with all sorts of individuals present. There were medicine masters, medical practitioners, royalty and nobles who collected top-grade medicinal materials from all over, as well as martial arts experts.
In the crowd, a purple figure was shocked to recognize Hua Yu Nian's half-ugly scar and quickly flew outwards.
