Chapter 158: Delivering Flat Peaches

The aura radiating from these flat peaches drifted in through their pores, filling everyone with an all-encompassing sense of refreshing comfort!

"Look, every single one of these countless flat peaches is something that would cause bloody battles in the outside world!"

"These are far superior to any divine herbs..."

Zhangsun Puyu said with wide eyes.

He was utterly dumbfounded, having never imagined there would be so many flat peaches.

"Weren't flat peaches supposed to flower once every three millennia and bear fruit once every three millennia? How come the flat peaches in Master's small courtyard don't seem to take nearly that long?"

Ruo Feng said softly.

It was her first time seeing so many flat peaches; when else would she have had the opportunity to witness such a sight?

"Master's methods are truly awe-inspiring. With such immense power, he can even make flat peaches bear fruit ahead of time!"

Everyone's jaws dropped as they stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

Lu Ran's face was plastered with panic. Is this what Master's cultivation technique is capable of?

"Alright, we've picked just about enough."

Zhu Xiaoyuan looked up at the fruit on the tree. Except for a few that were not yet ripe, all the others had been completely harvested.

"There are simply too many of these peaches. We'll keep just one basket for ourselves, and give all the rest to the villagers to enjoy. Zhangsun Puyu, Lu Ran, you two come carry the peaches. I'll take you to deliver them to our neighbors."

Hearing Zhu Xiaoyuan's words, the few people present became even more astonished!

What is Master saying?

He actually wants to give all these peaches away to the other people in the village?

Just the thought of it made them involuntarily twitch.

These flat peaches were divine treasures!

If taken out of this small mountain village, they would undoubtedly spark a frenzy of contention among countless experts!

Yet Zhu Xiaoyuan now intended to give these flat peaches away to ordinary villagers!

If outsiders were to find out about this, they would undoubtedly use every ounce of their strength to squeeze their way into this small mountain village just to taste a single flat peach!

"Master has always been like this, treating others with extreme kindness. Whatever casual item he gives away is enough to bring joy to others!"

Long Ruxuan remarked.

"As expected, Master is truly benevolent of heart, always thinking of outsiders!"

"He gives away such priceless treasures without a moment's hesitation..."

Xian Chen looked at Zhu Xiaoyuan with eyes full of adoration.

Such broad-mindedness was rarely seen in anyone else.

Zhu Xiaoyuan led his two disciples and said, "Let's go."

Zhangsun Puyu and Lu Ran immediately stepped forward to hoist the baskets onto their backs.

"Big Brother, I'll go with you!" Xinjing piped up.

Then, she naturally reached out to take Zhu Xiaoyuan's hand, obediently waiting for him to step outside.

Having spent some time with Zhu Xiaoyuan and the others, she had begun to understand his personality a little.

Zhu Xiaoyuan was not the unapproachable senior figure she had imagined; on the contrary, he cared for her deeply!

It felt truly as if he were her real older brother...

"Alright!" Zhu Xiaoyuan agreed without hesitation.

After all, Xinjing had somehow ended up hunted and fleeing all the way here.

Now, he should take her out to properly experience the local customs and traditions of the small mountain village...

Xinjing now trusted Zhu Xiaoyuan completely.

They walked out of the small courtyard together, and Zhu Xiaoyuan led the three of them from house to house, delivering peaches to every household.

"This is Auntie Niu!" Zhu Xiaoyuan stepped forward to knock on a door, introducing her to his disciples along the way.

"Oh my! It's little Zhu!"

"Come on in and sit at Auntie Niu's place!"

The moment Auntie Niu opened the courtyard gate and saw Zhu Xiaoyuan standing outside, her face blossomed with a radiant, joyous smile.

She enthusiastically invited Zhu Xiaoyuan inside for a chat.

Zhu Xiaoyuan immediately smiled and said, "Auntie Niu, I'm here today to bring you some peaches. The peach tree I planted in my courtyard has borne fruit, so I'm bringing some for everyone to taste!"

"Oh my goodness! Little Zhu, you're always so good to me!"

Auntie Niu slapped her thigh and exclaimed happily.

With that, she retrieved a small basket from the house and scooped seven or eight peaches out of the large basket strapped to Long Ruxuan's back.

Once she finished taking the peaches, Auntie Niu grabbed Zhu Xiaoyuan by the arm and said with a mysterious, conspiratorial air: "Hey, little Zhu, let me talk to you about something!"

"It's about that matter I discussed with you last time—Old Tian's younger niece. What a fine girl she is, and with such a great figure too. She's guaranteed to give you a son on the very first try! What do you think?"

The moment Zhu Xiaoyuan heard Auntie Niu bring this up, his head instantly swelled to twice its size!

"Auntie Niu, you don't need to mention that to me anymore. I'm very grateful to you, but right now I feel quite content living by myself!"

"Well, anyway, I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be off first!"

Zhu Xiaoyuan bolted away in a flurry, as if some terrifying monster were chasing right behind him.

"Hey! Little Zhu! What's wrong with this child? Let me tell you, if you didn't take a fancy to Old Tian's niece, Auntie Niu has plenty of other candidates..."

Auntie Niu was somewhat reluctant to let Zhu Xiaoyuan run off.

She continued calling out after him from the doorway.

Zhu Xiaoyuan didn't dare to look back at all; if Auntie Niu managed to catch him, wouldn't that be an utter disaster?

Xinjing, Zhangsun Puyu, Lu Ran, and the others stood there completely dumbstruck.

In their minds, how could their Master possibly act like this?

He should be a supreme being capable of tearing immortals apart with his bare hands, yet now he was fleeing in terror from an ordinary country woman?

If word of this got out, who would ever believe it?

Even they wouldn't have believed it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes!

Standing beside Zhu Xiaoyuan, Xinjing couldn't help breaking into a fit of giggles.

"Big Brother, she said she was good for child-rearing!"

Zhu Xiaoyuan squatted down and pinched Xinjing's chubby little cheek. "You little girl, there's truly nothing you won't say."

"Master, Master! Look ahead, is that her?" Lu Ran suddenly called out.

Directly ahead of them, a woman was standing on the path.

"She's so beautiful..." Zhangsun Puyu followed Lu Ran's gaze and let out an involuntary gasp of awe.

Zhu Xiaoyuan also raised his head and looked over.

It was a woman dressed in a long black gown.

Her dress accentuating her remarkably breathtaking figure to absolute perfection.

Her towering bosom and mesmerizing curves were stunning, and a pair of long legs was faintly visible amidst the flowing black fabric!

Furthermore, an embroidered dark red flower adorned her dress, seemingly adding an even more enchanting allure to the woman's beauty.

At that moment.

The woman was standing on the path, panting heavily, covered in a fine sheen of fragrant sweat, as if she had endured an arduous journey.

For a moment, Zhu Xiaoyuan was completely stunned.

What is going on here?

This young woman is extraordinarily gorgeous, but who knows where she came from!

This person was none of other than the Demon General Qiya, who had come in search of His Highness the Demon Lord!
