Qian Jiyun would have bought the entire mountain if the emperor had not given it away. They could do whatever they wanted on the mountain. They could even build a house with gray bricks and tiles.
As he knew that Jiuyue would not be willing to leave this place for now, he could only think of setting up more safety measures here.
However, he was still determined to find a way to buy this forest.
“Building a fence is not a bad idea. We can plant some pumpkins and winter melons on it. We won’t have to worry about food during autumn.”
Wei Na was speechless. “Master, he’s thinking about your safety, but you’re thinking about food.”
Is my foodie master growing air in the five plots of land in her space? She still wants to grow vegetables and melons outside?
“There is so much food in the space…”
“What do you know? Can we share the food in the space with everyone?” An Jiuyue retorted.
That is obviously impossible. So it’s not wrong of me to plant vegetables and melons, right?
Qian Jiyun was surprised.
He wanted to plant brambles! Wild boars loved vegetables and melons. It would be even more unsafe for them.
“Jiuyue, why don’t we grow something else? How about some byttneria? Its fruits are quite delicious—”
“Not practical,” An Jiuyue interrupted him.
They are only fruits. I can find fruits everywhere on the mountain during the summer. There’s no need to plant them.
“It’s not easy for this tree to grow so big. It is only possible because there are no brambles around it. If you plant brambles, this place will be filled with brambles when I don’t live here anymore. And this tree… Do you understand?”
She raised her eyebrows.
Brambles could not be eradicated. They might leave some roots behind even if they were uprooted. By then, wildfires would not be able to burn them away, and they would grow again in the spring breeze.
She could not allow such a big tree to be destroyed because of her.
Besides, she doubted the usefulness of brambles as they could be trampled by the wild beasts when they attack.
“People don’t come to the mountain often. I’ll set up an array formation by the side when I’m free,” she added when she saw that he was still conflicted.
“You know how to set up an array formation?” Qian Jiyun raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Yes.” An Jiuyue nodded. “My father’s family has a secret technique that he was never able to master. He taught it to me, and I learned it. There are many ancient array formations recorded.”
Of course, that was a lie. How could that be true? Besides this wooden house, the only other thing her godfather gave her was a small box. In fact, it was a box without a key and could not be opened.
Wei Na thought,?when did the Points Mall become your father, Master?
Now that An Jiuyue was reminded of the box, she had an idea.
The An Jiuyue of the past may not be able to open it, but that does not mean I can’t. I’m a special agent. How can I not be capable of this?
I have to check out what my father left for me when I’m free.
“I see.” Qian Jiyun did not say anything else after hearing her words.
She can do whatever she wants. I’ll just send more people to protect her if need be in the future.
“Go ahead and plant more vegetables and melons then. Jiuyue, put him down. He’s a young man now. You shouldn’t carry him around every day. He should walk on his own.”
