Chapter 484: Chapter 482: Baoya Becomes Enlightened and Can Speak_1
Border wars were tense, with small-scale battles happening occasionally; no one could guarantee their safety.

Perhaps this departure could mean an eternal goodbye.

Lin Jinyun and Lin Jinyang, the two brothers, had red eyes and tried to spend as much time as possible with their third brother.

It was difficult for Lin Jinyu as well. As the first of the Jin Generation, he couldn’t lead his soldiers into battle to protect his home and country, and had to watch his younger brothers grow up and leave one by one.

Enduring the bitterness and suffocation, he focused all his energy on the pioneering work and managed the village of tens of thousands of people orderly, gaining high prestige among the old troops.

Now, the old troop members from various villages liked to call him affectionately “Brother Yu”, as if they were one big family.

The Brilliant Snow Residence was located deep in the canyon, close to the Jewelry Workshop.

The workshop had been newly built in recent months, and skilled craftsmen were invited. They used the gold extracted from the valley to make gold jewelry.

All Seven Kingdoms had regulations prohibiting private gold mining; the gold ingots circulating in the market had the Imperial Seal.

Gold extracted in the valley could not be openly circulated in the market. It could only be made into gold jewelry, sold to various parts of the Seven Kingdoms, exchanged for silver, and used to purchase military supplies.

Lin Qingluo handed over the newly developed medicine and prescriptions to the doctors of Medicine King Valley without delay. She then rode Lightning, accompanied by Little Prince, and hurried to the Brilliant Snow Residence.

Traveling along the flat road, the scenery was a sight of harvest everywhere.

Villagers laughed and worked in the fields, while children chased and played carefree.

Occasionally, the sound of reading from the school would be heard, bringing joy to the listeners.

Brilliant Snow Residence.

When the siblings arrived, it was just in time for lunch. The kitchen was filled with smoke and the rich aroma of stewed meat wafted out of the small courtyard, reaching Lin Qingluo’s nose.

“What delicious food have my brothers prepared? It smells so good!”

Lin Qingluo, smelling the aroma, dismounted and patted Lightning’s head, allowing it to graze and rest on its own.

“Hui ‘er, Hui ‘er.”

Lightning neighed intelligently, trotting towards the stable.

“Awooo.”

Baoya slipped down from Little Prince’s arms, contentedly walking around the courtyard with its short legs.

The one-and-a-half-year-old Baoya had not grown at all, still smaller than an adult civet cat. Its small body and quick eyes made people laugh.

Little Prince loved Baoya and didn’t want to be separated from it. He asked Sister to continue feeding it and made it clear that as long as Baoya was with him, he didn’t need any other pets.

Lin Qingluo, who adored him, naturally agreed.

Baoya gradually showed its astonishing talent, not only remaining small but also incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, it could race hundreds of meters, climbing steep cliffs agilely, and easily catching Spirit Monkeys.

Lin Qingluo marveled at Baoya’s changes, watching and often feeding it Spirit Pills.

After eating Spirit Pills, Baoya became even more astonishing, able to have simple conversations with her.

Little Kingfisher also found Baoya interesting.

An awakened monster was hard to find in the human world. Having a sly little leopard by its side, pleasing and making fun of it, wasn’t bad.

“Qingluo is here? Perfect timing, it’s time to eat.”

Lin Jinyun was busy cooking stewed meat in the kitchen. He heard his younger sister’s laughter, poked his head out, and greeted her with a smile.

“Fourth Brother, your cooking skills are getting better and better! That stewed meat smells so good!”

Lin Qingluo sniffed the aroma and entered the kitchen.
