Chapter 67: A Different Lord Baron

It was over!

After many twists and turns, and although accidents happened along the way, Daming Village finally held firm against the Chaos of the Hundred Beasts.

Listening to the prompt sound in his ears, Mo Xiaobai smiled happily.

Not only did he get the reward for the promotion mission, but because of the difficulty of the Chaos of the Hundred Beasts, he also got rich extra rewards.

There were Farmlands, Medicine Fields, and Spirit Fields, all of them!

Especially the Spirit Field reward was the reason Mo Xiaobai could not stop smiling.

Mo Xiaobai had been worried about the Spirit Field for a long time. If there was no other way, he would have to wait for Dong Zhen to advance to Medical Immortal.

Now it was good. Although the number of Spirit Fields was not large, there were still a full five plots.

That was enough for Mo Xiaobai to use!

“Huh? The Long Worm actually dropped an Item?”

The dead Long Worm kept wilting, and a small Talisman appeared before Mo Xiaobai’s eyes.

He was very familiar with this thing. It was exactly the Territory Building Upgrade Talisman.

“The Intellect Brain is so stingy. It made you drop an Item, and still didn’t give me anything good. Even a special Territory Building would be nice. Just giving me an Upgrade Talisman to let me off.”

Mo Xiaobai was a bit greedy, but he quickly pocketed the Talisman. With the promotion reward he got before, he now had two Territory Building Upgrade Talismans.

After putting away the Talisman, Mo Xiaobai immediately started handling the post-battle matters. Originally, he only needed to discuss this with Li Ji, but at this moment, Li Ji was taking a medicine bath, so Mo Xiaobai had to do everything himself.

“General Fei has been tired for many days. This battle should be your greatest merit. Currently, there is no big matter in the Territory, so you go back and rest. I will call you for dinner later. Jianli needs to work hard again. Take the Rattan Armor Soldiers and Village Soldiers to clean up those Evil Beasts. Things like wolf skins, wolf teeth, wild boar meat, snake meat, etc., all the materials that can be collected should be collected.”

Cleaning up the battlefield was something familiar to both Li Guang and He Chun. Originally, Li Guang also wanted to stay and help, but how could Mo Xiaobai let him keep working? In this battle, Li Guang ran back and forth everywhere, busy inside and out, and was definitely the one who was the most tired.

Watching He Chun lead the soldiers away, Mo Xiaobai went to find the remaining able-bodied adults in the Territory.

Whether it was the pits dug before or the rolling stones and logs used, everything that needed filling had to be filled, and anything usable naturally had to be recycled. Although Mo Xiaobai had money, he was not so wasteful that he would throw away all those basic materials after one use.

Under the moonlight, the fires in Daming Village illuminated the four sides.

Even some villagers who Mo Xiaobai did not call for help, they actively helped in the village, either going to the granary to assist or preparing a victory dinner for everyone.

At this moment, the benefits of three meals a day became apparent.

Even though it was already past mealtime, nearly six or seven o’clock in the evening, the villagers did not show negative emotions because they missed this meal. Even for ordinary villagers, their vitality values remained around 90.

Cleaning up the battlefield was a tedious and boring task, especially collecting those heavy stones and woods weighing dozens of jin. Mo Xiaobai and the Territory Citizens worked until late at night, nine o’clock, and everyone was so tired that their hands went numb.

“He is truly a different Lord Baron.”

In front of the Baron’s Manor, Dong Zhen looked at Mo Xiaobai who was talking and laughing with the villagers not far away with her beautiful eyes, and her words contained a bit of an unusual flavor.

Next to her, Li Ji, wrapped in a robe and whose face looked much better than before, silently nodded: “My Lord’s charm might not be so majestic, just simple and ordinary like this before your eyes.”

“So even you, a Sub-Sage of the Martial Temple, and such a rare general as Li Guang, are willing to give everything for him, even forgetting your own lives?”

“We are like this. Physician Dong, are you not the same? I know a little bit of medical principles. In a hurry to come up with a good prescription to suppress the poison gas, while we were busy, you must have been troubled by this for a long time too, right?”

“Heh~ I and my sister are living very well here. It would be a great pity if you died.”

Dong Zhen answered with a light laugh. Just then, Mo Xiaobai brought many Territory Citizens back. Seeing them standing side by side talking, he grinned and said:

“What are you two chatting about? Has Maogong’s body recovered a bit?”

“My Lord! This subordinate!”

Li Ji was just about to bow, but Dong Zhen in the next seat spoke first: “I was telling General Li that you right now look nothing like a titled Lord.”

“Me right now?”

Mo Xiaobai was confused for a moment, then looked down and immediately realized that at this moment, he looked just like a black man suffering from heatstroke in Huaxia in summer. Except for his white teeth, you could barely see a trace of his usual pale face.

Shaking his head and shrugging, he said: “I am a bit dirty, but I have no choice. Before, I was just thinking about how to defend against the enemy. Who knew that cleaning up would be even more tiring than fighting a battle.”

“It is truly Daming Village’s fortune to have a Lord like you.” Dong Zhen turned her beautiful eyes around and sighed.

“You said that. Does Miss Dong not belong to Daming Village’s citizens?”

“If you say so, then it was the little one’s fault. This time, my sister and I were saved by My Lord’s mighty power.”

Being teased by this young lady Dong Zhen again, Mo Xiaobai’s mouth twitched, and he stared at her with his two eyes still.

More than a dozen breaths passed, and Dong Zhen felt a bit uncomfortable: “My Lord, is there something on my face?”

“Hmm, no.”

No?

If there is no, then why are you staring at me!

Dong Zhen felt a hint of annoyance for the first time in her heart, but before she could react, Mo Xiaobai chuckled again: “You look good like this now. When I first met Miss Dong, you were as pale as plain water. That look, although looking like an immortal fairy, lacked a bit of human flavor. Now it is much better.”

As soon as Mo Xiaobai finished speaking, Dong Zhen was completely stunned.

Was her change that big?

Before, at home, besides being passionate about medical arts, she would only smile when talking to her sister. Even when talking to her father, she always showed a calm attitude.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhen suddenly got lost in thought.

It seemed that after coming to Daming Village, she had really changed a lot.

“You wanted to make fun of me, and now you know that this Lord Baron’s mouth art is also max level.” In just one sentence, he scared Dong Zhen into a stupor. Mo Xiaobai left contentedly with a wave of his sleeve.

He showed off and ran away because he smelled a strong scent of roasted meat!

Less than tens of meters away from him, Cheng Liya and many villagers built a long, low stone stove, like a BBQ stall stove that was sealed on both sides, hollow in the middle, and could hold charcoal.

Mo Xiaobai walked over carelessly, picked up a wooden spoon on the side, and scooped a few mouthfuls of cold water before asking: “What delicious food is Mengde making again?”

“Charcoal-roasted pig kidneys, would My Lord like to eat?”

“I will eat, how could I not eat? Let everyone try it. Let me have a taste first.” Mo Xiaobai was really hungry. His stamina was almost exhausted. Besides, looking at charcoal-roasted pig kidneys, even if it was a raw pig kidney, he would have to eat it when he was starving.

“Hmm~ The taste is truly excellent. There is even a spicy flavor. Did Mengde prepare this yourself?”

“There were some in the manor, and I also brought some pepper berries when I came. It is just barely enough for one meal.”

“Refreshing~ Mmm~ It is a pity there is no jar of good wine. Wait a couple of days. In two days, we will brew some good wine. Daming Village should really celebrate!”
