CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91 HUGE HARVEST 【SEEKING RECOMMENDATION TICKET】_1

Marshal Tianpeng had been captured.

Sha Chen felt a headache coming on; that fellow was such a troublemaker.

But he still had to be rescued. After all, he was a crucial barrier against Buddhism.

It was just a matter of how and when to rescue him, which needed some consideration. He was not in a hurry. After all, Tianpeng was one of the appointed pilgrims of Buddhism, unlikely to die so soon. However, he couldn’t delay for long either, as he feared Buddhism might get there first. Buddhism excelled at rescuing people from their fall from grace. If someone didn’t fall, they didn’t mind giving a helping hand and saving them all the same.

When the Spider Spirits saw Sha Chen fall silent, they grew anxious, worried about Marshal Tianpeng’s safety to the point of trepidation.

Sha Chen said, "Alright, it’s rare for you all to come back. Let’s not talk about these unhappy things."

Seventh Mother asked, "Big Brother, Marshal Tianpeng has been captured. How can we help him?"

Sha Chen said, "I’ve already said there’s no rush."

Then he went down to prepare the meal.

The Spider Spirits exchanged uncertain glances, unsure if Sha Chen was genuinely unconcerned or if he was angry. They pushed each other back and forth until Seventh Mother finally went over to help Sha Chen.

Sha Chen truly wasn’t overly worried about Marshal Tianpeng; he was certain that guy wouldn’t be in any mortal danger. That lecherous fellow got caught due to his own lust; it would do him good to suffer a bit and learn his lesson.

However, he also saw that the Spider Spirits seemed very worried he was angry. He didn’t want these Scatter-Wealth Girls to fret, spoil their good mood, or perhaps even hold back on their offerings later on. So, he told a couple of jokes to ease their minds.

Indeed, the simple and romantic Spider Spirits, assured that Sha Chen wasn’t angry, visibly relaxed and became lively.

They all clamored to help Sha Chen pick vegetables and cook.

San Niang went to the field to pick a few stalks of second and third-grade Elixirs. Si Niang fetched some osmanthus from the trees for seasoning, and Seventh Mother brought out osmanthus wine to add flavor and remove any gamey taste.

Seeing this, Sha Chen’s cheeks twitched; his heart ached at the extravagance.

These prodigal women!

He hurried to stop them from ruining his cultivation resources and forbade them from staying in the kitchen any longer.

The Spider Spirits watched from outside, deeply moved.

"Big Brother is so good to us; he doesn’t even let us get our hands dirty."

"We haven’t even helped him rescue Marshal Tianpeng yet, and he doesn’t blame us."

"In the end, Big Brother is just too good to us. I’d willingly die for him."

The Spider Spirits chattered excitedly among themselves.

Suddenly, they saw Sha Chen start a fire, and he was using a Magical Tool to do it, which left them utterly shocked.

"The Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover?"

"Big Brother, are you using the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover to start a fire for cooking?"

Seventh Mother exclaimed, "But that’s the Magical Tool, the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover! If we were enveloped by it, we would be dead for sure."

Sha Chen replied, "What’s the big deal? I’m not going out, and aside from starting a fire, it doesn’t have many other uses."

The Spider Spirits thought about it and felt that made sense.

Still, they were shocked. Who would use such a powerful Magical Tool as a mere fire-starting tool for cooking?!

Because of this, their respect for Sha Chen grew; after so many years, Big Brother had become even more profoundly unfathomable.

A Magical Tool that others would fight to the death for, he casually used to start a cooking fire. Such is the way of a true master.

The meal was quickly prepared, and everyone took their seats.

The Spider Spirits also took the opportunity to bathe and returned smelling fragrant, each trying to outshine the others. They kept casting coquettish glances at Sha Chen, almost wishing they could throw themselves into his arms.

But Sha Chen was well-prepared; these enchantresses wouldn’t sway his Daoist heart.

He kept urging them to drink, and soon enough, the Spider Spirits were drunk. But as they got drunker, they became more brazen; they were practically crawling into Sha Chen’s lap and trying to strip off his clothes.

Sha Chen quickly intervened.

He’d been too hasty. He’d forgotten their poor tolerance for alcohol. Once drunk, they tended to get handsy.

After several rounds of drinks and many dishes had been served, Sha Chen coughed and began to probe, "Sisters, you’ve endured much hardship out there these past years."

The Spider Spirits were moved to tears and said, "Big Brother, we haven’t had it tough; it’s you, Big Brother, who has truly suffered, worrying about us constantly while you stayed here."

Sha Chen’s expression didn’t change as he asked, "So, how have your harvests been these years?"

Honestly, they weren’t very proactive; he always had to be the one to ask.

The Spider Spirits, one after another, were all smiles as they took out their Qiankun Bags, each filled with heavenly and earthly treasures and cultivation resources.

Sha Chen took them and started to inspect them, immediately gasping in astonishment.

The sheer volume of cultivation resources was astounding, easily more than ten times what Ao Lie had brought.

Sha Chen was shocked but also overjoyed. With these resources, he could elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Greater Primordial Golden Immortal realm, or even attempt a breakthrough to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Sha Chen was delighted; he hadn’t expected the Spider Spirits to reap such a rich harvest this time. Moreover, among them were not only items needed for cultivation but also some that could be planted for sustainable use.

Conveniently, there were still a few empty plots in the Post-Heaven Earth. These resources could be planted there, left to flower and bear fruit in due time.

Sha Chen was so excited that he complimented them repeatedly.

The Spider Spirits could see his happiness and were pleased to receive his praise as well.

Sha Chen said, "Please sit for a while. I’ll go plant some seeds, then come back and join you."

The Spider Spirits all chimed in, boasting that when it came to farming, they were truly experts.

They took the seeds, rolled up their sleeves and pant legs, shouldered their hoes, and went down to the fields, actually starting to till the land and plant crops.

Sha Chen watched from the shore, secretly clicking his tongue in amazement.

The Spider Spirits were dressed rather scantily, and as they bent over to plant, their movements created quite the distracting spectacle. They would also occasionally steal glances at Sha Chen.

Turns out, it was all on purpose. But Sha Chen didn’t care at all. On the contrary, he was considering whether the land was too large and if he should have them help till the soil as well.

However... in the end, he decided against it. The young women had just returned after a long absence. Letting them help with planting was one thing, but asking them to till the entire field as well? If they got upset, it could sour things.

The Spider Spirits worked for half the day, drenched in sweat. Sha Chen watched them for that entire time, and this attention left them feeling quite content.

After that, they went to wash up before returning to the feast.

Sha Chen expressed his gratitude with clasped hands, "Thank you, sisters. You’ve worked hard. Come on, let’s eat and drink."

He was uncharacteristically generous this time, bringing out Flat Peach Wine.

Once they were warmed up by the wine and feeling jovial, Sha Chen once again inquired about their experiences over the past few years.

But as soon as he asked, he regretted it. The Spider Spirits all started chattering at once, seven voices creating a din that nearly made his head explode.

He quickly found an opening to change the subject.

"Back when you introduced the Gold-Nosed White-Haired Mouse Spirit to me, what were you thinking?" Sha Chen asked casually.

The Spider Spirits stuck out their tongues, and Seventh Mother said cautiously, "Big Brother, are you angry?"

Sha Chen replied, "No, just asking out of curiosity, since I’m her master now anyway."

While saying this, he recounted the whole incident.

However, what stuck in the Spider Spirits’ minds wasn’t the rest of the story, but how Lady Di Yong had incessantly tried to seduce Sha Chen.

And, she had even lived here for several years!

That was outrageous! They themselves hadn’t stayed nearly that long!

Therefore, they resolved to stay much longer this time. They even schemed about the seven of them serving Sha Chen together.

They absolutely couldn’t let some other vixen get to him first! As for ’best friends’? Any so-called friend who dared compete with them for their man was a vixen, not a friend!
