Chapter 25: The Beasts' Soft and Hard Tactics!
The little old man looked at the people in the restaurant with some surprise, and in the blink of an eye, he ran away cleanly, with several unnatural black lines falling from his forehead!
Lan Ning'er is here, so be it! Why are you running away? Can she still eat you up? The old man was secretly skeptical in his heart. Until now, he didn't quite believe in Lan Ning'er's power. After all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and one had to see it to believe it!
Just as the old man was frowning and thinking deeply, Lan Ning'er was escorted into the dining hall with people calling out in front of and behind her...
"Miss Blue, you've arrived. Hehe, why didn't you notify us in advance? We could have made some preparations." The shopkeeper of the guest house walked directly to Blue Ning'er's side and said respectfully. In fact, he was extremely annoyed with Blue Ning'er, but who let her be Miss Blue? So, despite his dislike, he could only endure it. However, every time Blue Ning'er came, she would scare away many customers, and the losses suffered by the guest house were not to be blamed on him.
"This young lady is here for a surprise inspection, if I let you prepare, how can I inspect?" Lan Ning'er said it so naturally, and the absolutely beautiful face was full of smug smiles.
"Hmm! Miss Wu is right." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, why is there no one in this store?" Lan Ning'er casually swept her eyes across the restaurant, then said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Ah!" The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, unsure of how to respond. Could he say, "Was it you who scared them away, miss?"
After hearing what Lan Ning'er said, the old man furrowed his brow and twitched at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself: Isn't he human? Doesn't he have Mei with him?
"Shopkeeper, does grandfather know that this inn's business is so bad?" Lan Ning'er asked somewhat discontentedly.
"Yes, the master knows." The shopkeeper said cautiously, and then added in his heart, "The master also knows that only when you come to the store, the business will be so bad."
"Oh, although Grandpa knows, but after going home, I also have to talk to Grandpa about it. The business in the store is not good, how can we go on like this!" Lan Ning'er's beautiful face was full of worry.
"Miss Wu is so concerned about the business of the Lan family, the master will be very happy to know." The shopkeeper coaxed, but in his heart, he couldn't help but think that if Miss Wu would just cause less trouble, the store's business wouldn't have any problems.
"Huh? What's going on, shopkeeper? How did you let a beggar in here? Our store isn't just open to anyone." Lan Ning'er turned her head and looked at the old man with disdain.
"The...the..." The shopkeeper was at a loss for words. Lan Ning'er liked to judge people by their appearance, so even if he said that the old man wasn't a beggar, it probably wouldn't change her opinion.
"Little girl, are you referring to me as a beggar?" The old man pointed at himself, somewhat uncertainly asking, then looked around again. Hmm, at this time the whole store was empty except for him and that little fox!
"It's you! Our Blue family store isn't a place just anyone can enter, you're not qualified!" Lan Ning Er said with a condescending look.
"Little girl, hasn't your family taught you not to judge people by their appearance?" The old man said with suppressed anger and some displeasure.
"You old fart, do you dare to lecture me? Who do you think you are?" Lan Ning'er was furious when she saw this unremarkable old man daring to instruct her, and she loudly shouted in anger.
"You're really too rude, little girl!" The old man shook his head, somewhat disappointed, and sighed. Alas! The upbringing of the Lan family is getting worse and worse! He just couldn't understand it!
"Hmph! One doesn't need manners when dealing with beggars." Lan Ning'er said disapprovingly.
“……”
The old man fell silent. Although it was his first encounter with this young lady, he knew he had lost. It seemed that the fifth Miss Lan of the Blue family wasn't a good person after all!
"Let's go!" Mei said, having somehow jumped down from the table and tugging lightly at the old man's hem.
"Alas! Let's go!" The old man didn't want to stay in Blue Cloud City any longer, otherwise, the disappointment would only be greater.
"Shopkeeper, bill please." The old man turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper, then said, handing him a silver card.
"Yes, please wait." The shopkeeper respectfully took over the silver card handed over by the old man and went to settle the bill.
After settling the bill, the old man picked up Mei and turned around to walk out of the store, but before he had taken a few steps, he was called back.
"Hey old man, wait up!" Lan Ning Er shouted loudly, afraid that the old man was deaf and couldn't hear her.
"Is there anything else, Miss Lan?" The old man stopped in his tracks and said gruffly.
"Is that little fox yours?" Lan Ning'er asked, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at the all-white, flawless creature.
"Ah, it's mine, this beggar's." The old man said in a cold tone.
"Leave that fox behind, and you can leave." Lan Ning Er said domineeringly.
"Why? It's mine." The old man hugged Charm tightly and said with a feigned fear.
"Hum! It's obviously mine, you stole my pet, isn't that right?!" Lan Ning'er turned her head to say to her subordinates, making it clear that they were lying with their eyes open.
"That's right."
"How can a beggar like you possibly have a pet? Who would believe that?"
The crowd behind Lan Ning hurriedly echoed in agreement.
"Goodness! It seems they want to rob us. What shall we do?" The old man said, feigning concern as he looked at the small and lovely Mèi.
"You have to protect me! I'm not this ugly creature's." Mei Xiao Zui pouted, somewhat discontentedly, and hummed. This Lan Ning actually dared to have ideas about it! Truly doesn't know life from death!
"You little beast, who are you calling ugly!" Lan Ning Er heard this and couldn't help but get angry at being called ugly by a fox.
"Is it you? Your heart is black and your liver stinks. What are you if not a freak?" Mei retorted.
"You little beast, you're really asking for death. Wait for me, once I get my hands on you, I'll skin you alive and make a scarf out of your hide." Lan Ning Er threatened viciously.
"Just you?" The beautiful purple eyes sized up Lan Ning'er from head to toe, the fluffy little face full of doubt.
"What's wrong with me? I'm Lan Ning'er, the fifth young lady of the Lan family. Since childhood, there's nothing I couldn't get." Lan Ning'er said proudly, her face full of smugness!
"Really?" A slightly doubtful voice came from behind the crowd, and Blue Lie's three people smiled and stood at the door of the hotel, smiling but not quite smiling at Blue Ning.
"Brother Leng!" As soon as Lan Ning'er saw Leng Wudi, she immediately changed into a different person, softly calling out. At this moment, her eyes only had Leng Wudi's existence, and the other two were automatically ignored by her.
The old man stared at Lan Ning, who was changing rapidly, with a somewhat stunned expression. He rubbed his eyes, hardly daring to believe it. This... the current Lan Ning, compared to the arrogant, overbearing, and savage Lan Ning from just now, were they really the same person? The difference between before and after was really too great!
Lan Lie, who was completely ignored, walked up to the old man with a guilty expression, bowed and said: "Sir, you weren't frightened, were you?"
"No, uh! Who are you?" The old man sized up Lan Lie, thinking to himself, is this kid also from the Blue family?
"My name is Lan Lie, the young master of the Lan family." Lan Lie explained, and glanced at the small white fox in the old man's arms with the corner of his eye. Why did this little fox look so familiar? It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before, but foxes all looked alike anyway.
"Oh! You're the young master of the Blue family who's about to be replaced!" The old man exclaimed in sudden realization.
"Hmm! News spreads quickly." Lan Lie said somewhat helplessly, but it's not that easy to replace him. Sigh... actually, he really hopes Er Shu and the others can succeed. But what if in the end, they just let others work for nothing?
"Little kid, you're not happy in your heart, are you?" The old man said with a hint of understanding, heh heh, this little guy's reaction is written all over his face. Otherwise, if someone else heard him say that, they'd have to turn their face away.
"How did you know?" Lan Lie asked in a low voice, his handsome face full of curiosity.
"You haven't turned against me yet!" The old man said with a sly smile.
"Hmm! You're absolutely right, I couldn't ask for more!" Lan Lie said very honestly.
"Heh heh, kid, you're quite unique, I like that." The old man chuckled.
"Thank you! That... old man, does this little fox belong to you?" Lan Lie asked with gratitude, then couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"It's mine! What's wrong? You can't have it, it's too small to make a scarf." The old man warned, his eyes still wary.
"Old man, you misunderstood me. I just think it looks like my friend's pet." Lan Lie said somewhat awkwardly... When did he say he wanted to use this little fox as a scarf? Don't wrong him!
"As long as you don't have any ideas about eloping, it's all right." The old man said with relief.
"Lan Lie, that fox is mine!" Lan Ning'er, who was being ignored by Leng Wuji, turned her head and saw Lan Lie talking to the old man, and couldn't help but shout out.
Unfortunately, neither Lan Lie nor Lao Tou paid any attention to her.
"Lan Lie, can we leave now?" Sun Teng urged impatiently.
"Alright, let's go! Old man, you should leave quickly too!" Lan Lie replied, then reminded the little old man again.
"Wait a minute, young man, where are you all going?" The old man grabbed Blue Lie's sleeve and asked curiously.
"We're going to the medicinal material exchange conference." Lan Lie said, although the medicinal material exchange conference had not officially started yet, a group of alchemists had already gathered there, so he naturally wanted to go take a look at the excitement.
"Oh, I'll go there too, we're on the same way." The old man decided to tag along with Lan Lie.
"Let's go together!" Lan Lie said with a glance at Lan Ning'er.
The old man nodded and hugged Mei, then left the inn with Lan Lie and others.
"Stop right there! No one is allowed to leave!" Lan Ning Er was furious and jumped up and down, shouting behind Lan Lie and the others, but unfortunately, she was ignored!
Lan Lie and the others left the guest shop and directly arrived at the venue of the medicinal material exchange conference. At this time, the entire venue had been set up, and some alchemists had also moved in, waiting for the official start of the medicinal material exchange conference three days later.
"Master Blue, how did you come?" The person in charge of the venue ran over to Blue Lie after seeing him, and respectfully said that although he was a subordinate of Second Master, Blue Lie was after all the young master of the Blue family, so he didn't dare be disrespectful.
"Wu Guanshi, it seems that there aren't many people from Dan Shifu's side this year!" Lan Lie said with a knowing smile as he looked around the sparsely attended venue. His heart was already filled with joy. Alas, who would have thought that Second Uncle believed the exchange meeting would be very profitable and went to great lengths to get the preparation rights for this year's medicinal material exchange meeting? But he probably couldn't even dream of how badly it would fail! Haha, Lan Lie was truly delighted!
"Huh? Young Master, the Exchange Convention is still three days away! Most of the alchemists haven't arrived yet! And besides, the convention will last for over half a month, so many alchemists aren't in a hurry." Wu explained, but he also felt a bit strange inside. According to past years' experience, Blue Cloud City should have been packed with people by now, but this year it was unexpectedly quiet. Except for some alchemists who arrived earlier, these two days were supposed to be the peak period for alchemists arriving in Blue Cloud City, but not a single one had entered the city.
"Oh, I see!" Blue Lie nodded, seeming to understand, and then asked Wu Guan Shi a few more questions. After that, he started wandering around the venue, while Wu Guan Shi naturally followed closely behind him, carefully attending to his needs.
At this time, the old man held Charm and came alone to a stall.
"How did this silver leaf grass change?" The old man squatted down and asked faintly.
"I want to exchange for silver bellflower." The young man who was running the stall said softly after glancing at the old man.
"Silver Bellflower? Is this it?" The old man took out a small, silver, bell-shaped flower from his ring and asked.
"Really, really, old man, are you willing to trade with me?" The young man said excitedly. He had been searching for the silver bellflower for a long time and unexpectedly found it today. Moreover, the small bunch of silver bellflowers in the old man's hand was surprisingly fresh and of high quality, he was truly very satisfied.
"I'm unwilling." The old man put away the silver bellflower in his hand and said softly.
"Are you kidding me, old man?" The young man said somewhat displeased, unwilling to trade with him. Why take it out if not to tempt him? Ugh...
"Hey young man, don't be in such a rush! Listen to me." The old man said calmly.
"Go on!" The young man didn't know what the old fellow wanted to say to him, but he still made a very polite listening gesture.
"Listen, young man! I actually got this silver bell flower from someone else in exchange. Although I'm not sure if she still has any left, but I think you can go try your luck." The old man suggested.
"Really? Who did you exchange it with?" The young man looked around the venue, searching for suspicious individuals. Although there weren't many people in the venue now, he had basically asked everyone already. Could it be that he had missed someone?
"Hey young man, stop looking, he's not here." said the old man.
"Where can I find that person?" The young man asked somewhat anxiously, the Silver Bellflower was too important to him, so he absolutely couldn't let go of this opportunity.
"Listen, young man! I'll tell you the truth. That person offended Miss Lanyu, the fifth daughter of the Lan family, so she was banned from entering Blue Cloud City by Lan Ning'er. If you want to trade with her, you can only do it outside the city, and she has many good things in her hands!" The old man lowered his voice, speaking softly as if tempting a little white rabbit.
"Alright, I'll go out of town to find her. Hmm! Old man, where is she outside the city?" The young man said somewhat impatiently.
"Thirty meters to the right outside the city." The old man said in a low voice.
"Thank you, sir." The young man hastily packed up his stall and prepared to leave.
But in the venue, there was a familiar Dan teacher who saw him preparing to leave and couldn't help but be curious. After asking about the situation, he also packed up his things and left. Just like that, one by one, in less than half an hour, the entire venue became empty...
"Huh, why has everyone left?" Lan Lie looked at the Dan masters who had packed up their things and were all leaving in a hurry, and asked with a suppressed smile, "Heh heh, good riddance, go ahead and leave!"
"Hmm! This... probably they have some urgent matter!" Wu Guanshi guessed, after all, the exchange meeting had not officially started yet, so he didn't think that anyone would dare to poach from the Lan family.
After seeing that everyone had left, Mei and the old man exchanged a very tacit glance, grinned mischievously, and slapped each other's palms in celebration!
"Wu Guanshi, you go ahead and attend to your business, no need to entertain me, I'm just here to take a casual look." Lan Lie said.
"Yes, young master, I will take my leave." Wu Guan Shi bowed and left.
"Don't you think that little fox looks a bit familiar?" Lan Lie asked with some doubt after Wu Guan Shi left.
"What's with that gaze? Isn't that just the icy fox, Blue Lian!" Sun Teng said bluntly, giving Lan Lie a cold glance.
"Is it really that one? But the old man said it was his!" Lan Lie felt suffocated, he had been cheated!
"Following him around, of course it's his." Leng Wudi said with some helplessness, sighing that his good friend was sometimes too simple-minded!
"Could it be that he snatched it from Cold Snow's hands?" Blue Liet speculated after hearing Cold Unparalleled's words.
"Is it that easy to steal a pet that has acknowledged its master?" Leng Wuji looked at Lan Lie with an idiot-like gaze.
"What's going on? I have to get to the bottom of this!" Blue Lie said, and then he directly walked up to the person and the beast.
"You're a fox as cold as snow!" Lan Lie asked straightforwardly as soon as he opened the door.
"Is there a problem?" Mei Bai shot Lán Liè a glance and asked back.
"Why didn't you say so when I asked you just now?" Lan Lie gritted his teeth and said.
"Cut it out, you're not even asking me!" Mei covered her mouth and giggled.
Lan Lie listened to Mei's words and felt extremely depressed in his heart, so he shifted his gaze towards the old man, looking at him with a sense of resentment.
"Hmm! Blue family kid, don't look at me like that. I'm now the guardian of Mei, so it's naturally mine." The old man said with a straight face and without batting an eyelid.
"Alright! I won't be angry that you deceived me, but can you tell me what relationship do you have with Leng Ruoxue?" Lan Lie asked curiously, when did this little old man appear beside Leng Ruoxue?
"Lan Jia Xiao Zi, I have nothing to do with the Cold Ruo Xue in your mouth. However, if you're referring to the owner of this little fox, then I'm just someone who made a bet with her." The old man explained.
"What's gambling?" Blue Liao's curiosity was completely piqued, and he asked like a curious baby.
The old man had no choice but to tell Leng Ruoxue about the bet, however, who would have known that Lan Lie actually burst out laughing after hearing it!
"Hey, Blue Family Kid, is this funny to you?" The old man asked somewhat gloomily. He knew he had lost, but did this kid have to laugh so exaggeratedly? It was really too much! Ugh...
"Of course it's hilarious, old man! You're actually making a bet with a little fox? You're definitely going to lose!" Blue Lian said with a laugh, laughing so hard that tears were about to come out.
"Little fox?" The old man looked at Mei and fell silent.
"Old man, I've told you before, don't make a bet with my master! But you wouldn't listen." Mei said, unable to hold back.
"It doesn't matter! I'd rather lose graciously anyway! After all, it's not like I've lost anything, and besides, I've gained a talented apprentice." The old man said with a carefree attitude.
"Hey, Blue Family's kid, tell me about this Blue Ning thing!" The old man continued to ask Blue Lie, he was really curious, how did the Blue Family raise such a freak?
"Alright! If you want to know, I'll tell you about her glorious deeds. You'd still be listening for three days and three nights!" Blue Lie said with a smile.
"Let's find a place to sit and talk!" suggested the old man.
"No problem." Lan Lie nodded and the four of them left the exchange venue, finding a nearby teahouse to start chatting...
Outside the city gate.
Leng Ruo Xue's exchange meeting was in full swing, bustling and extraordinary, while around her, more stalls were set up by Dan Shifu...
"Sister, get me some herbs." The little black dog ran in front of Leng Ruo Xue and said.
"Here you go." Leng Ruoxue directly handed a storage ring to Xiao Hei, although her exchange meeting had only been open for two days, but in these two days, she had gained quite a bit! Not only did she exchange many precious herbs, but also got to know many alchemists.
Moreover, due to the severe shortage of manpower, she let out the little black dog that understood herbal medicine. As for this busy work, the little black dog was obviously very handy. As for Grandpa and others, since they didn't understand herbal medicine very well, they took the initiative to undertake the task of maintaining order.
"Xuě ér, lèi huài le ba!" The demon came to Leng Ruò Xuě's side and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying with some concern.
"It's okay." Lan Xue said with a good mood, heh heh, if the Blue family knew that she had dug their corner and stolen their paste, I wonder what kind of reaction they would have. However, it's strange, it's already been two days, why hasn't the Blue family made any noise at all?
"Xue Er, if the Blue family finds out that we've started our own exchange meeting, they probably won't let us off easily!" The demon teased.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the engagement with the Liang family has been settled. However, the reaction of the master of the Lan family is quite strange." Leng Ruoxue said with some suspicion, logically speaking, their behavior outside the city should not have escaped the notice of the Lan family, but strangely, no one from the Lan family came out to stop them!
"Excuse me, do you have any silver bell flowers?" A young man suddenly appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jiao, asking.
"Do you want to exchange for Silver Bellflower?" Leng Ruoxue asked with some doubt, because there were too many alchemists who wanted to exchange for Silver Bellflower, so she had already removed it from the list of items that could be exchanged. This young man shouldn't know about it, right?
"Ah, if you have any left, please exchange it for me!" The young man said sincerely.
"How did you know we have silver bells?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some vigilance.
"It was an old man and a little fox who told me, I really need silver bells, can you exchange with me?" The young man said frankly.
"What are you trading with?" asked Leng Ruoxue, Hehe, it turns out that it was that old man and Mei who introduced them! They arrived quite quickly, didn't they!
"I can trade you silverleaf for it, and if that's not enough, I can add some other herbs to make up for it." The young man said sincerely.
"Never mind, let's just use Silver Leaf Grass then!" said Leng Ruoxue, and she gave a sly wink to the demon.
After receiving a hint from Leng Ruoxue's eyes, the demon took out a silver bell flower from his ring and handed it to the young man.
"Thank you! I really can't thank you enough!" The young man said happily, finally managed to exchange it, it was really not easy.
The young man took out the silver leaf grass, and after exchanging it with the other, he also set up a stall outside the city like other alchemists...
"Xue Er, it seems that the medicine exchange meeting with the Lan family is going to be a failure." The little demon said in a low voice, his face full of smiles.
"It doesn't matter, the Lan family won't mind." said Leng Ruoxue with a light smile.
Just as they were talking, several more Dan masters came to exchange medicinal materials with them. Moreover, they all knew the young man from before, so Leng Ruoxue also exchanged the needed medicinal materials with them very smoothly.
"Master, I'm back." At this time, a white shadow flashed and pounced into Leng Ruo Xue's arms.
"Mei, how did you come back so quickly?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, hugging the snow-white little beast that was playing in her arms, somewhat puzzled, it had only been two days after all?
"Hehe, Master, I've finished my task and came back early!" Mei rubbed against Leng Ruo Xue's chest nonstop, making adorable sounds... it was going to die from loving its master too much!
"Little friend, I'm back too." The old man appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Old man, have you admitted defeat?" said Cold Snow calmly.
"I lost, that blue Ning is even more vicious than you said." The old man said with some anger, hum! How could the Blue family have such a descendant? It's really disappointing!
"Huh!" Leng Ruo Xue looked at the old man, feeling somewhat puzzled. Why was this old man so furious? Could it be that the Lan family had a close relationship with him?
"Little friend! I admit defeat, where is that disciple of mine?" The old man looked around, searching for Zheng En's figure.
"Zheng En is over there!" Leng Ruo Xue pointed to a nearby location, where Zheng En was surrounded by a crowd of people.
"Oh, little friend, you've made quite a big deal out of this exchange!" The old man looked at the sea of people in front of him and clicked his tongue, saying that it hadn't even been two days yet, but it had already reached such a scale!
"Old man, I heard that the Blue family's medicinal material exchange meeting still charges an entrance fee, and this year it has even increased in price. Here, I don't charge any money, so of course more people come! Moreover, I have genuine goods!" Leng Ruoxue said with a smile, her "genuine goods" naturally referring to those herbs.
"Haha, little friend, the Lanz family still thinks that Dan Shifu hasn't arrived at the exchange meeting yet! Who would have thought that you'd intercept him halfway?!" The old man laughed happily, this little girl is really too clever, if his old friend found out about this, he'd be so depressed he'd die!
"Old man, I'm also being forced into this! If Lan Ning'er hadn't stopped us from entering Blue Cloud City, would I have thought of this?!" Leng Ruoxue said with a feigned pitiful tone, implying that she was actually the victim.
"Hmm, Lan Ning'er is indeed too much!" The old man said indignantly, especially after hearing about the things Lan Lie had done from a young age to adulthood, he was even more uncontrollably angry!
"Huh? Old man, didn't you also get bullied by Lan Ning'er?" Cold as Snow was somewhat perplexed by the old man's sudden anger, and the only explanation was that this little old man had also become a victim.
"Master, Lan Ning'er wants to use me as a scarf and calls him a beggar." Mei reported, with a look of grievance and fear on her small face.
"Don't be afraid! If that woman dares to move you, I won't forgive her." Leng Ruo Xue stroked Mei's soft fur, comforting her. Heh heh, she really guessed it right.
"Mm, Mei knows that Master will protect me." Mei nodded very obediently, fully showing off its cute side as a small beast pet.
"Enchanting, don't be afraid, I'll protect you too." The old man hastened to express his stance, he had always been unable to resist the charms of such a lovely little creature like Enchanting.
"Mmm." Mei nodded happily.
"Xiao Xue, we're here too." Lan Lie's voice cut in.
"How did you get here so quickly?" Leng Ruoxue asked with some helplessness. Isn't the Blue family supposed to be changing its young master? How can Lan Lie still be wandering around like nothing's wrong?!
"Little friends, they came with me, we met in Blue Cloud City." The old man explained.
"Oh! Blue Lie, the Blue family is about to change owners, aren't you worried at all?" Leng Ruoxue couldn't help but tease, sighing that this Blue Lie really was heartless!
"Just change it then! Who cares who does it!" Lan Lie shrugged and said indifferently.
"He can't wait to replace him!" Sun Teng interrupted.
"Hey, Xiaoxue, those little beasts of yours are really good at talking nonsense." Lan Lie smiled awkwardly and changed the subject. Earlier, he, Leng Wudi, and Sun Teng had gone to see the little beasts out of curiosity about how they could pull people in. After listening for a while beside them, they were all impressed by the little beasts' ability to talk, as they really knew how to speak!
"Huh?" Leng Ruo Xue was somewhat perplexed, she knew her own beastly eloquence was quite good, but, it seemed that flattery wasn't quite suitable for him? Was he actually praising her beastly nature?
"Don't you know?" Lan Lie said with some incredulity. As the master, he didn't even know his own beast's abilities, it was truly too pathetic.
"Huh? I've been here exchanging herbs all along." Leng Ruo Xue said matter-of-factly, she only knew that her beast had brought over many alchemists, but as for what the beasts had said to those alchemists, she really wasn't clear.
"Heh heh, you'll know if you go and see for yourself." Lan Lie said with a mysterious smile.
Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao exchanged a glance before walking towards the location where those few small beasts were...
Baby and the beast were surrounded by a group of alchemists at this time.
"Come one, come all! Fine herbs for exchange!" The treasure saw the gathering crowd of alchemists and began to shout loudly.
"Is there fish mint?"
"Are there snake gourd flowers?"
Surrounding them, Master Dan asked in a flurry of questions.
"Halt! Everyone be quiet and listen to me!" Baby cleared his throat and said loudly.
"Oh!" The baby's words had a great effect, and after he finished speaking, everyone indeed quieted down.
"Hey, all of you, calm down! The herbs my master has are all rare treasures that can't be found in a thousand years. Unless you have something of equal value to exchange, don't even think about making a move on my master's stuff. And as for those ordinary herbs, don't bother trying to trade with my master either, he doesn't need them. However, you're welcome to set up a small stall next to my master, and when the time comes, the herbs you need will naturally fall into your hands! After all, my master's exchange meeting is going to be way more popular than that Blue family's thing."
"Moreover, I dare say that the Blue House absolutely cannot produce such good herbs as my master's. So, you have only one choice: either exchange with my master and give up attending the Blue House's herbal exchange meeting, or attend the Blue House's meeting and naturally give up exchanging with my master."
"Huh? Why is that?" A newly arrived Dan Master in Blue Cloud City asked, somewhat puzzled, after all, it didn't seem to conflict with each other!
"Of course it's because of the Fifth Miss Blue, humph! That ugly freak actually forbids my master from entering the city. My master can't enter, so if you want to exchange medicine with him, you'll have to stay outside and accompany her!" Bao Bei said matter-of-factly.
The little beast's long-winded speech left the surrounding Dan masters somewhat bewildered, eh! Truly, they had never seen such a domineering beast, and moreover, the number one beauty of the Kunlun Realm was actually called an ugly freak by it, alas! The aesthetic views of these beasts really can't be compared to those of humans!
"Let me tell you the truth! The medicinal herbs of my master's household are the best in the entire Huàntiān Continent. If you don't exchange with her, you will definitely regret it. And this opportunity only comes once, whether you can seize it or not depends on your own choice." After finishing speaking, Bǎobèi cleared his throat and continued to speak non-stop...
Then it was Silver Wing's turn to speak!
"I don't have much to say, but I'll tell you this: I've already memorized your scents. If you dare to sneak into the city again, every time I see you, I'll bite you once! Hmph!" Silver Wing coldly snorted, warning them.
"Heh heh, don't be afraid! Actually, I'm not in favor of using violence, but sometimes it can't be helped. Let me reiterate: if any of you go to the Blue House's medicinal exchange meeting, from now on, every time I see you, I'll burn you once. Don't doubt my words! My flames are more than you can handle." Feng Zhan said with a smiling threat, and after finishing speaking, he also sprayed out a small flame to intimidate them.
Bai Xu, who was still lying on the recliner pretending to be a big shot, let out a cold hum and didn't say anything, but that one cold hum made the onlookers feel an enormous pressure!
"Alright! I wish you all a pleasant cooperation, go and exchange the medicine with my master quickly! As I said before, there's nothing you can't get if you want it. Finally, the treasure drove away the crowd surrounding them, then comfortably lay down on the recliner, propped up her legs, sipped tea, ate delicious snacks, and patiently waited for the next batch of alchemists to arrive."
After everyone left, Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jie walked over slowly from a distance.
"Adorable master!" Baby jumped into Leng Ruo Xue's arms first, acting coquettishly.
"You guys are so formidable! You've used both intimidation and temptation." Leng Ruoxue said with a smile, she really couldn't help herself when it came to her own little beasts, sigh! Why did these little beasts have to be so cute?
"Master, that ugly Blue surname actually dared to not let the master enter the city, hum! Then we'll ruin their medicine exchange meeting." Baobei said with hatred.
"Haha, just what I wanted." Leng Ruo Xue stroked the soft fur of her treasure.
"Heh heh, Master, we're going to make the Blue family speechless with anger." Feng Zhan flew onto Leng Ruo Xue's shoulder and said with a hint of complacency.
"You guys be careful!" Leng Ruoxue said with some concern, then thought for a moment before removing Bing Jiu from the cuff.
"Xiaoxue, I'm going to sleep," Bing Qi said somewhat reluctantly.
"Sleep here!" Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat helplessly. With Bing Ji and her beasts staying together, she would feel much more at ease.
"Alright then!" Bing Qi glanced at the beasts and responded, then directly jumped onto a recliner and lazily lay down.
Leng Ruo Xue left some food for the beasts and then returned to her exchange meeting site...
Three days later.
The extremely popular medicine exchange meeting of Leng Ruo Xue has attracted many alchemists, and today is also the opening day of the Lan family's medicine exchange meeting...
The scene of Lanzhou's medicinal materials exchange meeting.
Lan Fei, the host of this medicinal material exchange meeting, arrived at the scene early, but as the official start time approached, there was not a single person in sight, which made Lan Fei somewhat puzzled.
"Wu Guanshi, how come no one has arrived?" Lan Fei asked with some dissatisfaction. Where did those damn Dan masters go? Not even a single person is in sight?
"Second Master, this... I'm not very clear either, but... I heard the innkeeper say that many Taoist priests have checked out of their rooms, and it's unclear where they went." Wu said cautiously, with cold sweat on his forehead.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and find out the reason for me! If we miss the exchange meeting, I won't forgive you!" Lan Fei's face turned red with rage, his neck thickened, and a blue vein bulged on his forehead as he bellowed loudly.
