Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Live-in Son-in-law 40

"Host, it definitely is. This place is close to the village, and people from the village often come up the mountain. A hundred-year-old Lingzhi mushroom is so conspicuous; it couldn’t possibly go unnoticed."

"Host, hurry and intercept it."

"That’s for sure."

The place wasn’t far. Yuan Chun walked for about ten minutes and saw a sturdy, old, hundred-year-old tree. The trunk was a twin tree; two trees stood together, and one of the trees had died.

The villagers had sawn off the branches, leaving only a thick, dead trunk.

"Host, the inside of the dead trunk is hollow, and the Lingzhi grows inside. There’s a hole between the two trees. Host, if you reach your hand in, you can touch it."

Yuan Chun had been using her spiritual power all along. She didn’t need 007 to tell her; she had already seen that Lingzhi.

It was as big as a small face basin.

Yuan Chun wanted to retrieve the Lingzhi remotely into her space, but she couldn’t, so she had to reach in and pluck it forcefully.

"Careful, Host, there’s a big snake guarding the treasure," 007 reminded.

Yuan Chun had already noticed it. Before reaching in, she used her spiritual power to control the snake and then picked the Lingzhi.

Afterward, she slapped an Invisibility Talisman, sat on the Flying Device, and circled the mountain, picking all the treasure marked on the map’s red dots.

She even got quite a bit of ginseng and swallow nests growing on cliff edges.

With the Flying Device, which could substitute tools for hands, Yuan Chun tidied up the treasures from the cliffs without leaving the device.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Qin Dashan and Qin Fang brought their son and drove the cattle up the mountain again.

urged, "Host, they’re heading up the mountain. The male protagonist discovered a dead trunk filled with black fungus, less than ten meters away from the Lingzhi tree."

"Host, Qin Dashan and Qin Fang are picking fungus. The male protagonist went to play at the Lingzhi tree; he’s curiously reaching into the hole."

"Hahaha, too bad the Lingzhi was taken by the Host ahead of time, so the male protagonist ended up empty-handed."

happily transmitted the scene to Yuan Chun.

Seeing the male protagonist being empty-handed and his disappointed expression, Yuan Chun smirked and said, "Let’s go; I’ve suddenly got a craving for beef."

"Host, are you heading back? The Jade Gourd Space has braised beef, beef buns, beef pies, and beef balls."

"I want to eat the spiced beef my household serves."

"Ah, there’s no fresh beef in the space."

"Isn’t it readily available? Plenty of them."

"Host, what do you mean? Are you going to steal cattle?"

"Hahaha, tell me, if Qin Dashan and Qin Fang lose the village’s cattle, won’t everyone be mad?"

Yuan Chun got on the Flying Device and flew towards the herd.

Qin Family Village is a big village with nearly a thousand householders, and it had a total of twenty cattle. Qin Dashan and Qin Fang were responsible for ten of them.

Yuan Chun piloted the Flying Device, paused above the herd, and five cattle were gone.

Qin Dashan and Qin Fang were busy picking fungus, completely unaware the cattle had decreased. It was only when the sun was about to set, as they drove the cattle back to the village, that they realized some cattle were missing.

Qin Dashan and Qin Fang panicked.

The couple searched around the mountain for a while but couldn’t find the cattle. Seeing that the sun was about to set, they could only drive the remaining cattle back to the village and report the matter to the village leader.

Upon learning five cattle were lost, the village leader couldn’t spare time to scold Qin Dashan and Qin Fang, and quickly organized people to search the mountain.

The villagers had been working on the farm all day and had just returned home, not having taken a breath before the leader called them out. Many villagers blamed the couple for not even being able to watch the cattle.

But losing cattle was a big deal in the village, and despite the grievances, the villagers had to help look for the cattle.
