Chapter 28: The Sisters of the Dong Family Arrive in Daming Village

“Ding~ Congratulations, Player ‘Daydreaming’, for defeating the bandit alliance and successfully resolving the crisis in your territory. Hereby awarded: 100 Renown, one Territory Building Upgrade Talisman, and one Silver Grade Lord Token.”

When the final Stone Stele of the “Yellow Sand Fortress” was sliced open by Mo Xiaobai’s sword, the ringing sound in his ears made him finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, this damn cleanup is over!

Truthfully, Mo Xiaobai had been afraid the Intellect Brain would pull another trick on him. If it did, it would have been the end of him.

It seemed the Intellect Brain would not take any further action.

“But the rewards given are pretty average, aren’t they ?”

Mo Xiaobai’s appetite had grown much larger compared to his past life. He was not very satisfied with just a little Renown and some consumable items.

Even with one Silver Lord Token, Mo Xiaobai only pursed his lips.

The Intellect Brain was as stingy as ever. Mo Xiaobai and Li Ji, with only a few dozen men, had crushed an alliance of over a thousand bandits, yet the system was not willing to even give a Gold Grade Lord Token.

“Forget it. I have known the Intellect Brain was stingy since long ago, so I’ll take it.”

“My Lord, finally, I can return to the territory!”

Back to Daming Village!

After leaving with Ma Laoliu in the beginning and waiting a week, Mo Xiaobai had finally returned to his own territory.

Seeing the Village Soldiers patrolling outside the Camp and hearing the sounds of labor coming from the valley, Mo Xiaobai felt a sense of satisfaction.

Wasn’t all the hard work and struggle he put in exactly to make the territory flourish?

From what he saw now, his performance as a Lord seemed quite qualified.

Feeling a bit self-praising in his heart, Mo Xiaobai smiled and greeted the Liu brothers before leading the dozens of people behind him into the valley.

Looking up, the most eye-catching sight was row after row of neatly arranged residential buildings.

Mo Xiaobai estimated roughly, “Wow, there must be at least over a hundred Residential Courtyards here.”

Very pleased by this, Mo Xiaobai turned to Li Ji beside him and said, “Maogong, we’ve been away for just a few days, and the village has changed so much.”

“It is because of the benevolence and care of My Lord that everyone is serving you with all their heart,” Li Ji nodded with a smile. He was not just flattering; he had already realized the benefits of three good meals a day.

“And Maogong deserves some credit for that too.”

Mo Xiaobai expressed his approval of Li Ji, then continued, “Now that you, as the deputy Village Head, have finally taken your post, I will hand over the management of the village entirely to you. Maogong won’t mind the trouble, will you?”

“This subordinate accepts the order.”

Mo Xiaobai naturally had his own tasks after leaving the people from Eagle Beak Mountain to Li Ji. At this moment, the most urgent thing for Mo Xiaobai was to check if the Dong sisters were still in the village.

Earlier, because the news of the bandit cleanup came so suddenly, Mo Xiaobai and Li Ji only took the young and strong men from Eagle Beak Mountain. The rest, the old and the young, were mostly entrusted to that Miss Dong, asking her to take He Chun and the elderly and children villagers back to Daming Village first.

After so many days, He Chun’s injuries had completely healed.

If the Dong sisters had left without saying goodbye, Mo Xiaobai would have had tears in his eyes but no way to cry them out.

Fortunately, as Mo Xiaobai walked past the territory square, he heard a silver-bell-like laugh.

“Come, come, come~ Little Bai~”

“Here are tasty roasted peanuts! Come over quickly~”

“Little Bai, follow me, run~”

Little Bai?

What the heck was this!

With a head full of black lines, Mo Xiaobai walked a little further and saw a young girl, Second Miss Dong, running out with a happy smile. Behind her, well, behind her was a little creature.

“This little thing is actually a Panda Hamster?”

After seeing it clearly, Mo Xiaobai was also a bit surprised.

Was this the one Dong Yiyi had caught before?

In his past life, he had never heard of such a cute little creature around Dang Mountain.

Just as Mo Xiaobai was about to greet the Dong little girl, Dong Yiyi also spotted him. She immediately stopped, turned back to look at the hamster behind her, and said:

“Little Bai, come and say hello to Lord Little Bai.”

Say hello?

Mo Xiaobai finally realized something was wrong. Was he named the same as this hamster?

Sighing with a face full of black lines, Mo Xiaobai hummed lowly: “Dong girl, where is your sister?”

“Tsk, I won’t tell you. Little Bai, let’s go~”

Seeing Mo Xiaobai was being very unfriendly, Second Miss Dong simply patted the back of his head. She picked up the slightly out-of-breath hamster and hopped off to play by the side again.

As soon as Second Miss Dong left, another figure walked towards them from the direction she had just passed: “My sister is usually restricted by my father at home, so now she has gone wild playing. Please, Lord, do not hold it against her.”

“It is fine. Little girls are naturally innocent, so it doesn’t matter.”

What could Mo Xiaobai do? Could he really argue with a little girl?

That would lower his status too much.

Besides, compared to the playfulness of Second Miss Dong, the Medical Immortal Dong in front of him was the real highlight. Mo Xiaobai took two steps forward and walked parallel with her towards the outside of the village.

“Miss Dong, since you are still willing to stay, have you made up your mind?”

“Myself and my sister moving into Daming Village is not impossible, but I have a few conditions.”

“Please speak, Physician Dong.”

“First, you must give me a plot of land so I can build my own medicinal garden. Second, I will not serve your territory every day. At least two days a week, I need to focus on studying medical classics. Finally, if I encounter difficulties in medical theory and need your help, you must sincerely assist me and cannot use this to threaten me.”

After stating the three conditions, the Dong sister stopped walking. Her eyes were calm as she looked directly at Mo Xiaobai.

“No problem.”

Mo Xiaobai had no doubt about this at all. Not only were these three conditions reasonable, but even if the other party proposed stricter conditions, Mo Xiaobai would have considered agreeing.

After all, this was the Medical Immortal who could research the Soul Returning Pill in the future!

Whatever the cost, it was worth it.

“In that case, I, Dong Zhen, humbly ask to bring my sister, Dong Yiyi, to join ‘Daming Village’.”

“Haha~ Good, good, good!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaobai was overjoyed. All his efforts finally had not been in vain.

At the same time, Mo Xiaobai heard the Intellect Brain’s prompt in his ear:

“Ding~ Congratulations, Player and Lord ‘Daydreaming’, for gaining the loyalty of SS Grade Talent ‘Dong Zhen’. Dong Zhen has moved into the territory ‘Daming Village’. Hereby awarded 5 points of Populace Sentiment.”

“Ding~ Congratulations, Player and Lord ‘Daydreaming’, for gaining the loyalty of S Grade Talent ‘Dong Yiyi’. Dong Yiyi has moved into the territory ‘Daming Village’. Hereby awarded 5 points of Populace Sentiment.”

The two prompts sounded one after another. Although they were not in an announcement mode, Mo Xiaobai was still ecstatic.

Dong Zhen having an SS Grade Talent was no surprise to Mo Xiaobai, after all, she was someone who stood at the peak of medicine in his past life. But Dong Yiyi also having an S Talent made Mo Xiaobai feel surprised.

That little girl, besides being talented at playing and having a sharp tongue, did she have anything else special?

Was it because her sharp tongue was too strong?

Could she one day reach the level of debating with Zhuge?

Unable to contain his curiosity, Mo Xiaobai did not check Dong Zhen’s personal attributes first. Instead, he pulled up the attribute panel for the Second Miss Dong first.

After a quick glance, Mo Xiaobai’s eyes widened in shock.
