To think he had been looking for a way to gather wood for construction only for all this to happen.
' The old man lost his horse, but it all turned out for the best. '[1] Su Ping couldn't help but reminisce.
The simple hits soon turned to deadly blows, the Cow demoness's didn't hold back at all. The Bull demons condition got worse and worse and yet they didn't even let up. Some of them even took big bites out of his flesh in rage. They didn't swallow but just wanted to torture him to their hearts content.
In the end, the Bull demon died in no time and Su Ping released the binds. The Cow demoness's that was below him got up before angrily stomping on his family jewels. Till they were nothing but meat paste.
Su Ping shivered involuntary at the sight. Staring at the Bull demons corpse that was in awful condition. Su Ping revealed a disgusted expression.
' Try to stay calm, it's all for survival, it's all for survival.' Su Ping told himself as he dug into the Bull demons corpse. Though reluctant, In no time, he finished the entire thing, even grinding the bones till their was nothing but dust.
' That's a Dragons jaw for you.' Su Ping chuckled silently before turning his attention back to the 10 Cow demoness's who had long since surrounded him in wait.
Ye Heng stood closest to Su Ping.
" Master, now that your done with your meal, were do we continue from here."
Ye Heng was frightened by Su Ping's display of devouring the Bull demon but, she knew that he was her master and if he had wanted to eat them, he would've done so earlier.
' Besides, now that I've gotten my revenge, I don't mind if master wants a taste of me. It's the least I could do to repay him.' said Ye Heng to herself.
To their relief, Su Ping didn't display any ideas towards eating them, instead he told them about the main reason he had come here in the first place.
" Master say no more. All of us are willing to be your hands and feet."
" We can help, just leave it to us."
" Please don't diminish yourself with this task, We'll gladly help you master." All the Cow demoness's expressed their willingness to help.
This at least assured Su Ping that they weren't going to be trouble. He used the Blade rain skill to cut down several trees into proper shape before using his new wood affinity to cause some vines to wrap around each wood before wrapping around a Cow demoness each, like a harness.
Like that, the Cow demoness's helped Su Ping carry the wooden logs all the way back to Ming Yao's former den.
" Master, your back. And you brought some company?" Ming Yao stared at Su Ping with relief but her expression turned strange when she saw the ten Cow demoness's behind him.
Both Ning An and Yang Lan were stunned, not expecting their master to return so soon and not only did he complete the task he set out to do, but he also recruited even more help.
Su Ping gave the three of them a brief run down of what happened. He then moved some distance before using the 2 Livestock Ranch structure cards.
The two cards created one Ranch as if they had fused together. The ranch had a fenced field of 100 square meters that was split in two, filled with lush greenery that popped out of thin air, as well as a Barn, chicken coup and so on.
Su Ping felt that the chicken coup and other essentials were kinda useless at the moment, as for the barn. Thinking of how he would milk the cow demons made his expression turn awkward for a moment before returning to normal.
" From now on, you all will live here, there's plenty of food and a place to rest. All you need to do is work when your told to, understand?" Su Ping addressed the Cow demoness's as herded them into the ranches fenced pastures.
The Cow demons were in disbelief, the scene of the Ranch emerging out of thin air was simply too surreal to them. The instant they took a bite of the fresh greenery, their eyes widened with disbelief. It was simply scrumptious!
Seeing all their joyful expression, Su Ping felt satisfied. " From now on you'll listen to Ming Yao, Ning An and Yang Lan. The three of them are directly under me."
" Listen to those small demons?"
" Master you must be joking."
" Why should we listen to them."
" It's obvious were far more capable, let Yi Heng be in charge."
" Master let Yi Heng be in charge, she's far more stronger than these three."
The Cow demons expressed their obvious dissatisfaction with the idea. They found it unacceptable that they who were far larger than them, had to be commanded by three smaller demons.
Ming Yao, Ning An and Yang Lan would've shouted and rebuked the Cow demoness's by now if not for the fact that they felt that some of their words help some truth.
The three of them couldn't even help him earlier with manual labor, forcing their own master to partake in such a demeaning task. If they couldn't even do that much, what right did they have to act as his direct subordinates.
Cow demons always believed in the rule of the strongest called the shots, an example is how Bull demons could do as they pleased within the herd.
Moreover, they understood that although they didn't need to worry about the likes of a male Bull demons in the masters encampment, it still didn't mean that they didn't have an idea of what would happen sooner or later.
Judging by how the master was gathering demons from all around, it wouldn't be long before more and more demons flocked to this location, if that were to happen, they first needed to make sure they had a stable footing in his territory, And what better way could there be than to have one of their own close by his side.
(AN: [1] it's one of the many titles given to one of the most famous parables from the Huainanzi, Master of Huainan. The parable goes like this:
A righteous man lived near the border.
For no reason, his horse ran off into barbarian territory.
Everyone felt sorry for him.
But his father spoke to him:
"Who knows if that won't bring you good luck?"
Several months later, his horse came back with a group of good, noble, barbarian horses.
Everyone congratulated him.
But his father spoke to him again:
"Who knows if that won't bring you bad luck?"
Now his house is rich in horses
and the son mounted one with joy because hoved riding.
Sadly he fell and broke his leg.
Everyone felt sorry for him.
But his father spoke to him:
"Who knows if that won't bring you good luck?"
One year later, the barbarians invaded across the border. Adult men strung up their bows and went into battle.
Nine out of ten border residents were killed,
except for the son because of his broken leg.
Father and son were protected/both survived.
Hence: Bad luck brings good luck
and good luck brings bad luck.
This happens without end
and nobody can estimate it.
