My fruit shop became popular in the world

"Second Highness!"

Hearing Elder Wuji's voice, Xuanchu's heart trembled heavily.

He thought, maybe the elders came to settle accounts with him, after all, he brought the alien monster race into Qingqiu without permission.

"Elder Wuji." He smiled guiltyly at the oldest and wisest elder in the clan, and greeted him in a low voice.

Elder Wuji walked towards him vigorously, staring at the drowsy black cat in his arms with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Second Highness, you—"

"Elder Wuji, I shouldn't have brought the outsiders back without permission. It's all my fault. I promise that I will take the initiative to accept punishment in the future. But the situation is very critical now, please help Brown Sugar!"

Xuan Chu's tone was urgent, for fear that this majestic elder would drive Brown Tang out.

Elder Wuji frowned tightly: "This old man is not..."

"Elder Wuji, please!" Xuan Chu interrupted him again.

The fox cubs present didn't know why, but seeing their favorite brother Xuanchu being so anxious, they all followed suit and begged for mercy, "Elder Wuji, please help brother Xuanchu!"

Elder Wuji: "..."

He said helplessly: "Second Highness, can you let the old man finish his speech first?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, tell me." Xuan Chu said with a blushing face knowing that he was impolite.

Elder Wuji took a deep breath, pointed at the unconscious brown sugar and asked, "Second Highness, where did you find this Qilin beast?"

Xuanchu was stunned by the whole fox, blinked his eyes slowly, and said in a hollow voice, "Elder, what did you say? Qilin beast?"

Elder Wuji was more surprised than him: "The Second Highness doesn't know?"

Xuan Chu swayed, slowly lowered his head, and what caught his eyes was the horn that suddenly appeared.

Don't say I don't know, it was only at this moment that he realized that this horn was indeed very similar to the unicorn horn described in the ancient books, it was shaped like a deer antler, and it was fleshy.

It took Xuanchu a long time to come back to his senses, but he still couldn't quite believe that Brown Tang was a unicorn, so he said weakly, "Elder Wuji, did you admit it wrong?"

The world is so big, full of wonders, maybe there is a kind of monster clan with horns similar to unicorns... right?

Elder Wuji resolutely said: "No. Although I was young when the dragon and phoenix first robbed, I had seen a unicorn with my own eyes. I am sure that the horn on the top of this beast's forehead is no different from that of a qilin."

"This is impossible!" Xuan Chu was startled, sweating all over, "It is said in the book that the unicorn has a lion head, a moose body, and is wearing dragon scales. The brown sugar looks like a cat. Besides, it is not said that the unicorn has died after the first robbery of the dragon and phoenix. Is it extinct?"

Elder Wuji: "I don't know why this beast looks like this, but there is no real basis for the theory that the Qilin has exterminated the clan."

"After the first tribulation of the dragon and the phoenix, the Qilin family did not reappear, so the world guessed that they had fallen in that calamity. But many years ago, when Prince Rong Ze of the Heavenly Court was born, some people said that they had seen the Qilin."

Xuanchu also heard this rumor, but he heard another version: "It's not that the so-called unicorn is present in this world, but the guards of the Nantian Gate misunderstood it and mistook quán (the rare word Jinjiang cannot be displayed) as a unicorn. "

Quán Shu is a mythical animal recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing". It is shaped like a horse and has a horn in the center of its forehead. If you don't look carefully, it is indeed somewhat similar to a unicorn.

Elder Wuji wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the little beast in Xuanchu's arms groaned in pain, interrupting their conversation.

Xuan Chu's face changed slightly, and he didn't worry about whether Brown Tang was a cat demon or a unicorn, and said eagerly: "Elder Wuji, please save Brown Tang, he seems to be in a bad condition."

Elder Wuji nodded: "Second Highness, please follow me."

***

Qingqiu specially set up a magic circle, which can protect the safety of the little demon in the evolution stage.

Xuanchu had seen the power of the magic circle before. At that time, he was still a little fox cub, and he was in the stage of evolution. The situation was dangerous. It was the fox king Xuan Yi, his own brother, who personally used this magic circle to protect him.

Thinking of his brother, Xuan Chu's eyes flickered slightly.

The magic circle needs to be maintained with spiritual power, Xuan Chu hurriedly said, "I'll do it!"

Following Elder Wuji's instructions, he poured spiritual power into the magic circle, and suddenly felt a strong force sucking him in, and he almost lost his footing.

"Second Highness, be careful." Elder Wuji helped him in time.

Xuan Chu was a little ashamed, he thought his cultivation was not bad, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even maintain a magic circle.

Elder Wuji frowned, and murmured: "What a powerful monster, this beast must be Qilin!"

Xuan Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why did you come back again?"

Elder Wuji said solemnly: "Second Highness, I don't know, this magic circle has a characteristic: the stronger the demon power of the monster, the more spiritual power the magic circle needs. Monster power will not deceive people, Second Highness, this beast Even if it's not a unicorn, it's definitely not an ordinary monster clan!"

After a while, Xuan Chu said dumbly, "How does it compare with my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?"

Elder Wuji's tone was firm: "It's far above my clan."

The nine-tailed fox is an ancient demon clan with extraordinary demon power.It cannot be said that there are no ones who are stronger than them, but there are very few.

Unfortunately, Qilin, who is the king of the land demon clan, happens to be among them.

Now Xuan Chu couldn't find any reason to justify.

With all kinds of evidence in front of us, it is difficult to prove that brown sugar has nothing to do with Qilin.

Elder Wuji sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Anyway, let's solve the problem in front of us first."

Xuanchu came back to his senses, focused his attention on the magic circle, and tried his best to input spiritual power.

Elder Wuji saw that he was struggling, so he also joined the Dharma protection team to help him.

"Okay." After an unknown amount of time, Elder Wuji said.

Xuan Chu suddenly relaxed, his body fell backwards uncontrollably, his face was pale, and he almost lost his strength.

There was a trace of helplessness on the corner of his mouth. After this incident, he had to believe it, brown sugar was indeed unusual.

Brown Tang didn't know what the "master" was thinking, he had safely passed the most dangerous moment, and fell asleep peacefully in the magic circle.

Under Xuan Chu's shocked eyes, the fleshy horn on the top of Brown Tang's forehead gradually shrank back, and turned back into the "cat demon" he was familiar with.

Elder Wuji is indeed the most powerful senior of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Although he was a little out of breath, he recovered quickly.

Seeing this, he frowned, and injected a wave of demon power into Brown Tang's body.

"What did you find?" Xuan Chu stared nervously at Elder Wuji, seeing the changing situation on his face, felt uneasy in his heart.

Elder Wuji was silent for a moment, and then said: "There is a powerful seal in his body, which seals his demon power. If the old man guessed correctly, the appearance and disappearance of his horn are also related to this."

Xuan Chu's lips parted, and it took him a long time to make a sound: "So, he became like this..."

Elder Wuji nodded: "It is very likely that this seal is also caused."

Xuan Chu slowly turned to the sleeping brown sugar.

My mind was in turmoil.

This cat demon... no, where did this unicorn come from?How did that seal come about?Besides him, are there other unicorns in the world?

But no matter whether it is Qilin reappearing in the world, or there is a seal in Qilin's body, things are not trivial.

Soon, Fox King Xuan Yi found out about it.

"Fox King wants to see me?" Xuan Chu frowned slightly, and was about to refuse, but then he thought of his older brother's use of arrays to protect him, so he couldn't say no.

Elder Wuji watched his nose, nose, and heart, stroked his long white beard, and reminded: "Second Highness, this matter is extraordinary, so don't be careless."

Xuan Chu pursed his lips, and said unnaturally: "In that case, then I'll go see him."

Xuan Yi lives in Qingguang Pavilion all year round.

This is a name that sounds very bright, but in fact, there is no sunlight all year round, there are no windows, and the air is cold, which is incompatible with the painting style of other places in Qingqiu.

This is because many years ago, the ancient fierce beast Qiongqi invaded Qingqiu, Xuan Yi bravely resisted to protect the tribe, and was seriously injured.

When the door was closed behind him, and the only sunlight was cut off, Xuan Chu frowned subconsciously.

He has not stepped into the Qingguang Pavilion for many years, and he is not used to this dark and cold environment.

A hoarse voice sounded faintly in the darkness, half a sigh: "You are here."

Xuan Chu was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, I'm here."

"How are you doing recently?" Xuan Yi asked.

Xuan Chu: "It's okay."

Xuan Yi: "I heard that you discovered the Qilin Beast."

Xuan Chu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Brown Tang just looks somewhat similar to a unicorn, whether it is a unicorn is not certain—"

Xuan Yi: "Gu has reported this matter to the Heavenly Court."

Xuan Chu's eyes widened, and he turned up his voice: "How can you make a decision on your own?"

Xuan Yi said calmly: "I found a strange beast that hasn't appeared for a long time, and I should have reported it to the Heavenly Court."

Xuan Chu was angry: "Then do you know that once Tianting finds out about this, it will definitely take Brown Tang away? He was adopted by me, and no one can take him away from me without my consent!"

The light in the Qingguang Pavilion was dim, and Xuan Yi's expression could not be seen clearly, only a silhouette that was too thin was vaguely seen.

Compared with his younger brother's panic, Xuan Yi seemed much calmer. He said calmly: "The existence of Qilin beasts is not a trivial matter, and you are not the only one who can make a decision."

"I can't, so can you?" Xuan Chu sneered, "Xuan Yi, you ignored me for so many years, why should you care about my affairs now?"

"..."

"Brown sugar is mine, none of you want to get his idea!"

After a rush of footsteps and the sound of closing the door, Qingguang Pavilion once again returned to deathly silence.

"Wang, where is the Second Highness, do you want Xiao Qi and the others to persuade..." A figure cautiously appeared.

"No need, that child has always had this temper since he was a child, and it's useless to persuade him about what he believes." Xuan Yi smiled wryly and waved his hands.

After a pause, he said again: "Lingyue, get ready, I have to contact Heaven."

***

Hu Xiaoqi saw that Xuan Chu's face was not very good-looking, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he handed over the newly picked nectarines to him, and mumbled to find a topic: "These peaches are grown from the peach saplings you brought back earlier. Very good."

Xuan Chu froze for a moment, then remembered the origin of this batch of peaches——

Not long after he became a disciple of Ci Hang Taoist back then, the initial freshness passed, and he began to miss every plant and tree in Qingqiu.

Putuo Mountain is good, but it is too simple and quiet. There are willows all over the mountain, unlike Qingqiu, which has various flowers and trees. When one flower dies, the other blooms again, and it is lively all year round. of.

In order to make him happy, the senior brothers and sisters specially took him to the Heavenly Court. After visiting famous scenic spots such as Tianhe and various fairy palaces, they took him to Tianhou's Fairy Peach Garden.

At that time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and it was full of prosperity.

Xuan Chu was amazed again and again: Although there are many flowers and trees in Qingqiu, there is no Taoyuan of this scale.

Knowing that the little apprentice likes this Taoyuan, the Cihang Taoist specially asked Tianhou for some saplings for him.

Xuanchu thought that his own people would also like such delicate peach blossoms, so he transferred the saplings to Qingqiu.

Today, under the nourishment of the water and soil of Qingqiu, these peach trees grow no worse than when they were in Tianting, and they also bear coveted fruits.

Looking at these peaches that are rosy in pink, shiny and smooth, and full of grains, Xuan Chu's mood improved.

He picked up a nectarine and tasted it. The taste was crisp and refreshing, the flesh was tender, soft and hard, fragrant and sweet.

He smiled at Hu Xiaoqi: "Thanks, brother."

Hu Xiaoqi waved his hand: "Hey, what's there to thank for that? It's you who worked so hard for Qingqiu."

Xuan Chu: "Qingqiu is my hometown, who will contribute if I don't contribute? Besides, I'm lucky to have the opportunity to leave here to see the world, but you can only stay here for the rest of your life."

"You want to go out for treatment." Hu Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "Oh, you are also unlucky. When Qiongqi invaded, Wang led the whole family to flee, but you were left behind, which led to you being caught by Qiongqi, almost No life. Fortunately, nothing happened afterwards, but the root cause of the disease fell, and he was weaker than others..."

Seeing Xuan Chu's expression was strange, Hu Xiaoqi stopped the topic wisely, and said with a smile: "Then what, you've been in Qingqiu for a long time this time, you should go back quickly, the fruit shop still needs you."

It was only then that Xuan Chu realized that he had really been out for a long time this time, so he didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly left with the sleeping brown sugar and nectarines.

When I returned to the human world, it was already noon the next day.

The mobile phone on the table was ringing crazily. When I picked it up, it was Zhang Chao calling.

As soon as he connected, he heard an exclamation from the other end of the phone: "Thank God, boss, you have answered the phone, is there anything wrong?"

Xuanchu found an excuse, saying that he brought brown sugar to the pet hospital to see a doctor, but did not bring his mobile phone with him.

"How about brown sugar?" Zhang Chao asked nervously.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." Xuan Chu glanced at the little guy lying on the bed curled up into a ball, "He took some medicine and is still sleeping."

Zhang Chao and others soon arrived at the fruit shop, scrambling to visit Brown Sugar first.

It's a pity that this "cat demon" slept deeply and knew nothing about what happened around him.

They talked about the thunderstorm last night again.

Zhang Chao said with lingering fear: "In my memory, I have never seen such a terrible thunder and lightning. I have to wonder if there is a fellow Taoist who is going through the tribulation."

Xuan Chu paused, pretending to tidy up the shelves, but actually listened carefully to their discussions with his ears pricked up.

Sun Lang complained: "The power in my community was cut off last night. It is said that the line was broken. I was still rushing to repair it when I went out. I don't know when I will be able to call."

Yonago whispered that a potted flower she had placed on the window sill had been uprooted by the strong wind, leaving only a bare pot.

Everyone asked whether the thunder and lightning were caused by the deterioration of the global climate, and Xuan Chu showed a thoughtful expression.

He seriously suspected that the lightning had something to do with brown sugar.

***

Because the door opened late today, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when all the nectarines were sold out.

Xuan Chu was taking care of Brown Tang who hadn't woken up in his room, when Zhang Chao came to knock on the door mysteriously: "Boss, there is a strange guest outside looking for you."

strange guest?This description is also strange enough.

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows and walked out the door.

Seeing the person coming, he finally understood why Zhang Chao felt that the person was strange——

The man was wearing a black suit, not to mention, he was actually wearing sunglasses at night.

"Hello, Mr. Fox, this is my business card." The man in the sunglasses immediately handed over a business card when he saw Xuan Chu.

Seeing clearly the words "Heavenly Beast Department" printed on the business card, Xuan Chu's expression changed drastically.

"What do you want to do?" He made a defensive posture and stared at the other party warily.

He knew that the Department of Alien Beasts was a department dedicated to recruiting rare and exotic animals.The department is called in when rare races are found.

Although the original intention of this department was to protect those rare and near-extinct races, Xuanchu didn't want brown sugar to be trapped in a special protection area by them and to be studied from time to time.

"Fellow Daoist, don't get me wrong, I have no malicious intentions." Wu Lan also knew that the world had misunderstood their Alien Beast Department, so she explained with a wry smile, "I came here today just to learn about the situation of that Qilin beast."

"You're mistaken, I don't have any unicorns here." Xuan Chu said forcefully.

He just finished speaking, only to hear the sound of "嗤呜" coming from behind, and then a black figure accurately landed on his shoulder.

Xuan Chu: "..."

Wu Lan: "... Fellow Daoist?"

Xuan Chu didn't change his expression: "As you can see, it's just a cat."

Wu Lan sighed lightly, and said: "Friend Daoist, I already know what happened, please cooperate with our work. Don't worry, I definitely don't want to separate you from your... cat."

Xuan Chu decided to take a look at him, but finally gave in: "You come with me."

After entering the room with only two people, Wu Lan took off his sunglasses, only then did Xuan Chu notice that he had two pupils in his eyes, no wonder he had to wear sunglasses at night.

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows: "Chongming bird?"

As far as he knows, Chongming birds have double pupils, and they are auspicious birds.

Wu Lan nodded, knowing that Xuan Chu was not easy to deal with, so she decided to make a long story short: "It's like this. After learning that Qilin has reappeared in the world, the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter, so they sent me to investigate it."

He glanced at Brown Tang quickly, and said cautiously: "Fellow Daoist, can you let me check him? I promise, it will never cause any harm to him, I just want to record the data."

After a long silence, Xuan Chu finally let go: "It is possible, but I must be present."

Wu Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's natural."

He took out the inspection instrument from the pocket in his sleeve and tried to put it on Brown Sugar.

Brown Tang realized something and struggled vigorously, yelling "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and plunged into Xuan Chu's arms to seek comfort.

Wu Lan scratched the corner of her hair, and said with a dry smile, "Well, fellow Taoist Xuanchu, can you..."

Xuan Chu hesitated for a moment, but still helped to hold down Brown Tang.

To be honest, he also wanted to find out how Brown Sugar was doing.Elder Wuji said that there was a powerful seal in his body, but he didn't know what happened.

Brown sugar was stunned: Meow meow?

Wu Lan smoothly put on the inspection headgear for Brown Tang and recorded the data.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, we will notify you as soon as the inspection results come out."

Seeing Wu Lan packing up her instruments and preparing to leave, Xuan Chu was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "You really left like this?"

Wu Lan had no choice but to say, "Fellow Daoist, as I said, I have no intention of tearing you apart."

Xuan Chu rubbed his nose, thinking how weird this sounded...

"I'll come back next time—" Seeing Xuan Chu glaring hard at herself, Wu Lan hastily added, "It's just to check Qilin's physical condition regularly, nothing else."

Xuan Chu also wanted to understand the reason why brown sugar became what it is now, so he showed a smile: "Then I will trouble you."

The author has something to say:

Xuanchu: Free medical examination?And such a good thing?

Everyone has been waiting for a long time!
