Chapter 358 My Neighbor Carries a Mountain 2
(*Modified*)
Anyway, it has nothing to do with those old, frail, and blind women.
The answer is that we would never dare to pry into, nor can we interfere with, the territory of that great immortal.
Straightforward, shameless, and utterly unashamed.
These land goddesses aren't actually mothers-in-law.
They have maintained their aged appearance for many years, simply because they do not want to be borrowed by the gods in heaven to become little fairy maidens.
I won't speak out about the lack of freedom.
They also have to deal with lewd monsters and cunning deities in the workplace.
This is something that a few ordinary spirits in the mortal world cannot compare to.
It's better to be a landowner.
The Earth Goddess doesn't need to flatter the immortals all day long, nor does she need to do chores like sweeping and serving tea, nor does she need to perform at banquets...
It's just that it lacks the elixirs and magic pills that immortals kept between their fingers.
But it's not a big deal.
Ah Lü was worried that he might not be able to keep his temper in check and cause trouble in the sky.
While immortals might miss out on opportunities, they can appease the many spirits and monsters of the mortal realm.
For example, the baby pangolin offered a gift on its own initiative.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
"Ah Lü? What brilliant idea are you coming up with now?"
The landman, known as A-Lu, blinked.
"I've heard that there's a beautiful little princess in the Snow Mountain Cloud Cave who lost her old father... How about we do this... or that..."
"By acting as a go-between for this fox, I can not only get a commission, but also prevent the fox's fortune from falling into the hands of those stinking male monsters."
All the local people looked at each other and thought that A-Lu's idea was quite good.
At the opportune moment, the local official, Ayu, spoke up.
"Have you decided on a godmother? Perhaps Ashi and I should go to the Snow Mountain Cloud Cave first."
A-Lu smiled slyly.
"It is known that Lady Su was once a family with Li Tianwang and Nezha in the mortal world."
Ash was surprised.
"Do you have any tokens of Madam Su's knowledge that you have entered her temple?"
"Naturally there is."
A-Lu found a seemingly ordinary jade pendant.
“I once traveled to the temple of Lady Suzhi in my spirit when I was on the verge of death... Even the opportunity to become the local earth god was taught to me by her.”
"Well done, Ah Lü! You actually have such a fortuitous opportunity!"
"No wonder that immortal didn't make things difficult for you that day."
"..."
Jiang Ping listened to the general outline of the land plan before putting it down.
The roots of the banyan sapling tapped the ground.
It was as if it was asking Pingping if she wanted to join in the fun. After all, Pingping was a pangolin this time, so she wouldn't feel guilty at all about burrowing around in the ground.
Jiang Ping also tapped the ground with his claws to respond to his companion.
Don't go.
Do not disturb the lands from doing good deeds—delivering goods to the door of a certain powerful being, Lady Suzhi.
Behind the pangolin.
The slovenly monkey ate one spicy ant after another until its mouth went numb, drool and snot streamed down its face, and its head was spinning from the heat. It felt as if it had returned to the time when it was still inside the stone.
Jiang Ping hesitated upon seeing the slovenly monkey's arrogant gaze.
What kind of amazing stuff does that damn system shop sell?
Won't the spiciness have made the Monkey King stupid? If the Monkey King is stupid, can he still take the blame? It seems like it's easier for him to take the blame if he's stupid, huh?
Jiang Ping thought about it more and more, and the more beautiful she became, the more she wanted it.
In a moment of impulsiveness, he stood up.
Today's goal: Dig, dig, dig! Let's go! Let's finish digging as soon as possible and go find Xiao Yi to play~
The wonderful world is still waiting for this adorable little pangolin!
But what's wrong with Xiao Yi?
Why is she scavenging for scraps in the Tianshan Mountains again? She even went to steal elixirs! Such an exciting adventure and she didn't even take me along! So annoying!
He gulped down a mouthful of rice wine-flavored tonic.
The pangolin's digging rhythm changes with its mood.
Sometimes a swipe of its claw brings only regret, sometimes only joy, and sometimes it's simply an uncontrollable urge to harvest bad things.
Being a little sprite must be so troublesome.

The scruffy monkey, feeling dizzy, smacked its lips.
All I could hear was the sound of the little sharp-nosed monster chiseling stones.
One soft sound followed by two loud sounds, like someone who hadn't eaten enough.
This little pointy-beaked monster is no good. If it were me... I don't think I could do it either.
Five Elements Mountain is really annoying.
Suddenly I have this urge to carry this mountain up to the heavens and have a heart-to-heart talk with those old folks.
The slovenly monkey went from dejected to sober, then laughed at himself and reverted to his silly monkey form.
The monkey kept tapping its tongue on the muddy ground, trying to coax the banyan sapling to stick out some roots to play with it.
The small banyan tree refused to comply.
The root system controls itself by wrapping itself up in a ball.
The monkey hasn't avenged the last time it tricked me and chewed up a lot of my roots.
The system prioritizes the safety of its users.
I advise Rongbao to just tease the monkey as he pleases.
Don't actually get into a fight with the monkey, or you'll attract attention.
Rongbao appears to be someone who listens to advice.
It thought that it wouldn't be too late for the little tree to take revenge even after five hundred years, and it wouldn't be impossible for it to act according to circumstances in the future.
And so they each went about their own business, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.
The wild fruit trees planted by the scruffy monkey have grown into a large wild fruit tree.
When the guardian deity is not around, the scruffy monkey will lead one or two passersby into its wild fruit grove, but most of the passersby leave crying and wailing, and in a panic.
Only the old man was incredibly steady.
The scruffy monkey immediately became interested.
"You old man, you're incredibly brave..."
The old man hesitated, unsure whether to speak or not.
“I…I came here when I was little, have you forgotten? I even kowtowed to you, my head was all bruised.”
The scruffy monkey showed no sign of embarrassment whatsoever.
Having lived to such an old age, is it really that strange that it would forget a mere mortal?
The scruffy monkey spoke as if he were an ordinary person, asking the little old man why he had aged so quickly, saying that he shouldn't have eaten its fruit.
"I threw up half of my fruit when I got home and gave it to my mother to eat. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
The old man had gray hair and beard.
I feel a mix of apprehension and relief when I talk about wild fruits.
If it weren't for that wild fruit from the immortal at the foot of the mountain that day, his mother would probably have passed away long ago, and it's uncertain whether he would have grown into an old man...
However, the hobbies of immortals are truly unusual.
They like to stick their big heads out to scare people.
He had heard many legends about the strange creature in the deep mountains.
Most villagers and merchants felt that this was a mountain spirit that couldn't roam freely, and that if they encountered it, they should run away as soon as possible, as the spirit wouldn't actually eat people.
A small number of people who have eaten the wild fruit of the slovenly monkey also speculate.
This must be a vegetarian spirit.
However, a small number of people with both brains and courage call the scruffy monkey a "god".
This can be seen as a sign of respect from everyone for the wild fruit.
The scruffy monkey doesn't care what mortals call it.
It lit the branches for the old man with its tongue, and then pulled over a lively big fish from somewhere.
"Here's some to eat. After you eat, tell me more about your village. You can't just make things up..."
Done.
The scruffy monkey let out a strange cry to alert the little sharp-nosed monster.
There are stories to listen to.
Come quickly.
It's rare for a familiar person to appear, so it's essential to fulfill its duties as a host.
Don't assume it doesn't know.
That mute little spirit who dug the cave in the Five Elements Mountain even knew to invite the Earth Goddesses for tea.
It may not have much magical power, but it has a very human touch.
