Caught up by the flows [2]
Tian Xuan forgot that the bed was hard. He hurt his chin from the jump. With his teary eyes, he called Tian Qiu and bought a fluffy bed and replaced the hard bed.
Although this world has both modern and ancient genre, there are more ancient genre to this world setting. Most places under tier 5th kingdom have their bed and the bath in ancient style while the toilet is a bit modern.
He jumped on the fluffy bed and slowly dozed off to sleep.
Long Zhang was surprised to see such a soft looking huge bed that Tian Xuan is sleeping on. Even the bed he had in the palace where he is serving cannot be compared to the bed that Tian Xuan is sleeping on.
He sat next to Tian Xuan and touched the bed to know the material used for the bed.
It was impossible for him to know because Tian Qiu bought the Cloud Dreaming Bed a level 4 item in the system shop.
The bed is able to circulate the qi inside one body and allowed one to have a good rest even if he or she has insomnia symptoms. It also revitalizes the energy that one used up just by sleeping on the bed. The materials used are Heaven Aries wool for both the blanket and the pillow and Seven Color Theridiid's string for the silk as the bed cover.
The material alone was usually used for making armor or making artifact but if it was made into bed cover or pillow, how would anyone know that it was the same thing just based on the feeling?
Besides, the materials are too precious to be used for bed purpose so no one dared to guess that the bed Tian Xuan is sleeping on are using those precious materials.
Long Zhang also felt sleepy all of a sudden. He felt like the bed is pulling him but it wasn't forceful, more like attracting him gently.
He glanced at Tian Xuan drowsily and slept beside the silver-haired boy without caring the consequence of his action.
That night, Tian Xuan finally had a full pleasant rest thanks to the bed he sleeps on. He stretched his body out of a habit and saw a familiar face sleeping by his side.
Instinctively, Tian Xuan checked his body and sighed in relief. Long Zhang should be glad that the first thing the boy did wasn't to kick him off the bed but to check his own body.
Tian Xuan carefully gets off the bed by crawling and went to join Wu Clan for dinner. He covered Long Zhang properly with a blanket before leaving his bedroom.
On the spur of the moment, while he was eating, Tian Xuan felt dumbstruck as he realized that he has been caught in the flow by Long Zhang.
He had a blank face while eating as many thought passed by his brain.
He wondered why he accepted being someone wife so readily and Tian Qiu explained that Long Zhang used some kind of technique to befuddle Tian Xuan's mind making him thinks that he is the one that proposed the plan to be Long Zhang's wife while it was Long Zhang's intention all along.
Tian Xuan was angered but he couldn't shake off the thought that it wasn't that bad. Tian Qiu said that the spell has already been removed when he slept earlier so there shouldn't be any confusion lingered anymore but Tian Xuan feel that it is wrong for him to feel that it wasn't bad to be Long Zhang's wife.
"-ian… Lord Tian." Wu Yunfeng waved his hand in front of Tian Xuan face and the silver-haired boy looked at him.
"Hm? What is it?"
"Lord Tian… there's no more food… please forgive us for not able to comply with your request."
Tian Xuan looked at his empty bowl of rice and at the dining table as well as the Wu Clan's faces. They had a pale face fearing that Tian Xuan would be angry.
The silver-haired boy realized that he has eaten too much that even the kitchen had to empty their emergency storage for him. He scratched the back of his head feeling slightly guilty.
He will never feel full because everything that entered his mouth never goes to his stomach. It will be transformed into energy. He put his bowl of rice down and coughed embarrassedly by his unconscious action.
[Energy in this verse is stamina.]
Now, Wu Clan has no emergency food for the winter.
"It is alright. I was thinking all sort of thing and forgot to stop eating. As a token of gratitude, I will give your clan two thousand tier-2 magical beasts. They could eat just grass or cow's feed, eat them and they will provide plenty qi that will aid in further cultivation."
Wu Hanzho was afraid that they would be punished for not able to provide enough food for Tian Xuan but, who would have thought that not only they are not punished, they are also rewarded.
Tier-2 magical beasts are not rare but it is too expensive.
A tier-2 magical beast usually cost approximately Three to five thousand gold coins. Tian Xuan wanted to give them a thousand of tier-2 magical beasts, if they weren't happy, who knows what will make them happy.
Spiritual stone could only be used by one person but a magical beast can be shared with more than ten people. They rather have more magical beast than spiritual stone because magical beast can reproduce while the spiritual stone is only one-time use.
The reason why Shao Clan was prominent, to begin with, is because they have a business in selling magical beasts.
Tian Xuan told Wu Hanzho to bring him to a field where Tian Xuan could let out the magical beast and the head patriarch brought him to the Wu Clan backyard. It is spacious and undeveloped, pretty suitable to attend the magical beast Tian Xuan going to place.
The beasts that Tian Xuan going to give Wu Clan is Green Striped Caballus a horse-like tier-2 beast and Red Hook Wyvern the tier-2 beasts. He gave exactly 500 female Caballuses, 500 male Caballuses, 500 female Wyverns and 500 male wyverns.
When Wu Hanzho saw Tian Xuan just flicked his hand to place all the magical beasts on the grass field, he was rendered speechless.
Even Conferred Empire envoy couldn't do such a thing as transporting a huge amount of living things with just a hand flick. He has seen the might of Conferred Empire envoy before at the imperial palace.
The envoy tear open the void and ten people came out of the void. The people came directly from their headquarter which is millions of miles away from the Ru An kingdom.
Such a fit, only immortal above warrior rank could do such thing but he still never heard of people that could place thousand living things with just a hand flick without even tearing open the void.
"I gave you two type tier-2 magical beast and there's exactly five hundred of each sex of the beast. If it got sick or anything gets a beast physician to check on them quickly to avoid an infection.
They are as docile as the cat and more loyal than a dog. I already make them recognize you as their new owner." Tian Xuan said as he patted a caballus.
"They are smart and could understand human language but you still have to mediate to let the beast know the member of your clan because it will be aggressive toward those that it doesn't recognize as their master."
"T-thank you, Lord Tian. This is already a tremendous gift for us, the Wu Clan. We are fortunate to have you here."
"En, no problem. I will be returning to my quarter now."
Wu Hanzho bowed respectfully to Tian Xuan and let the boy passed while he carefully touched one of the wyverns.
The wyvern cooed as he touched the neck making him amazed.
He has heard that Shao Clan had to hire at least ten tier-3 beast tamers to manage their magical beasts farm because the magical beasts are aggressive to anyone but the beast tamer but here, the magical beast that Tian Xuan gave undoubtedly bigger and stronger but it is especially docile just like Lord Tian said it will. What more, Lord Tian said that the magical beasts can be eaten.
While Shao Clan sells magical beasts to be a ride on or to carry carriage, Lord Tian gave Wu Clan magical beasts to be eaten. It is as luxurious as the people in the Conferred Empire.
He laughed out loud like a crazy old fart to facing up to the sky.
"Shao Clan, you will have to be prepared for tomorrow is your genius official death anniversary! Who told you to touch Demonic Black Cloud sect's disciple? You are just asking for it!"
The guards that not too far away from Wu Hanzho couldn't hear what the head patriarch said but they were curious to why the old fart laughed out loud.
"Has he gone crazy because Lord Tian emptied Wu Clan's food storage? That shouldn't be the reason right?"
The other guard just shrugged his shoulder clearly oblivious to the answer too.
The spiritual stone that Lord Tian gave should be way more than enough to buy back all the food that he ate, so what could be the reason the old fart laughing like a mad person?
