Wanbao Lady

Chapter 53: A Trip to Luoxia Town

That river clam was just a little demon in the middle stage of bone forging.

It's just a little bigger in size and the shell is a little harder.

But they cannot escape the fate of being captured and sold by humans.

A thought came from the clam.

Ordinary humans cannot feel it, but the two cultivators, Chongfan and Tudigong, can feel it.

The little demon had been using his mind to ask for help.

Chongfan used the Qi-gazing technique to take a look and found that there was nothing wrong with the creature, just an ordinary monster.

She nodded secretly.

Meeting is fate, maybe I can help out.

-

In the huge wooden basin, river clams opened and closed in the water.

More and more people gathered around.

Some were talking about how to cook the clam meat to make it delicious, while others were wondering if there might be pearls inside such a large clam, and it would be great if they could open it and take a look.

The clams trembled at the sound.

Finally, someone made a bid.

"Twelve!"

Such a large river clam is rare, and its appearance is also top quality.

If you can find pearls inside, you will be rich!

Some businessmen were also very excited.

For a while, bidding sounds came one after another.

"Eleven taels!"

"Twelve taels!"

"Fifteen taels!"

The boss was very happy.

He caught this clam when he was fishing in the river before dawn this morning.

I didn't expect it to be so valuable.

It was worth his hard work in moving it.

A wealthy businessman looked at it, with a shrewd look in his eyes.

He raised his hand and said, "Twenty taels!"

The crowd exclaimed.

Someone recognized the rich businessman's identity.

"Isn't this Boss Wen, the richest man in Luoxia Town?"

"With Boss Wen taking action, there won't be any suspense."

The boss who sells river clams was delighted.

However, before he could say anything, a female voice came from behind the crowd.

"Fifty taels."

Everyone was startled and looked behind them.

I saw a pretty woman with a unique temperament standing there.

Next to her stood an old man wearing brown clothes and with white hair and beard.

Behind her stood a woman in black with a frosty face.

She looks like a female guard.

The owner who sold river clams suddenly widened his eyes.

Then the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

Where did this female Bodhisattva come from? She is so rich!

The wealthy businessman surnamed Wen also turned his head to look, but saw that the person bidding the price was just a woman in a misty green dress.

He looks unfamiliar, but he does have a good temperament.

Maybe she is a lady from a wealthy family in another place.

The reason he wanted to buy this river clam was essentially because it was rare.

Reselling it may not only make you a profit, but also help you make good connections.

But fifty taels...

It’s not that he can’t take it out, but there’s no need to.

The wealthy businessman surnamed Wen said calmly, "My name is Wen Tonghai, and I am a merchant from Luoxia Town. You look unfamiliar, I wonder where you are from?"

Chongfan smiled and pointed to the south.

Dao: "A place surrounded by clouds and mist, a place of tranquility and greenery."

Wen Tonghai was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

So you live in the mountains!

Is it a wealthy family that built a summer resort in the mountains?

I just don’t know which mountain in the south it is.

But he didn't ask too much.

He just smiled and said, "Miss, this must be your first time to come to our Luoxia Town! As the saying goes, meeting is destiny. I won't fight with you for this river clam. It can be considered a good relationship!"

Wow, this businessman has a really high level of speaking skills!

Invisibly, he has established a personality for himself that is generous, hospitable and warm.

Chongfan nodded slightly.

"good."

Chongfan gestured, and Chongxue, who was standing behind him, stepped forward to pay the money.

The clam seller happily took the money and looked at the master, servant, two girls, and a white-haired old man. He kindly reminded them, "These clams are very heavy. Do you want me to deliver them to your house?"

Unexpectedly, the woman in black shook her head.

"Need not."

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the woman in black casually scooped up the millstone-sized river clam as if she were scooping up a kitten.

Then he held it in his hands with an expressionless face.

His face didn't turn red or he didn't breathe heavily, and even his hands didn't shake.

Everyone gasped.

A brave man... no, a brave woman!

The owner who sells river clams almost popped his eyes out.

He knew how heavy the clam was.

It took a lot of effort for the brothers to fish it out and then take it to the market.

I didn't expect this tall and thin woman to be so relaxed.

Wen Tonghai, who saw this scene, seemed to be thinking about something.

It is rumored that the top-notch warriors in the martial arts world are also very powerful. Could it be that this female guard is also among them?

Then this woman in blue, who is the master, must be of some importance.

Then he was glad that he had not become enemies but instead took a step back.

Everyone watched helplessly as the master, his servant, and the white-haired old man left with the clams.

Because the river clam is so big and is held by a woman, it is bound to attract some attention.

Chongfan shook her head slightly and secretly used a sleight of hand to make the crowd ignore them.

A group of people came to Hulu River with clams.

According to the God of Land, the Hulu River is a tributary of the Mo River. It passes through the three towns of Luoxia, Luohua and Luoye, and then flows south into the mountains.

It is named because the basin is shaped like a gourd.

There is abundant aquatic products and many people go fishing.

"Just release it here."

Chongfan looked at the river and said.

Chongxue did as he was told and threw the clam with great force.

After a huge splash, the river returned to calm.

"Daoyou, be merciful."

The God of Land laughed.

"I feel sorry for this little demon, so it's just a piece of cake." Chong Fan didn't think about it.

After the three people left, the clam sank quietly to the bottom of the water.

It opened and closed and swam in one direction.

-

After seeing the streets here, the God of Land invited Chongfan to his land temple for a chat.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that there was a different world inside the small land temple.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be the contrast between the outer world and the inner world.

The surface world is the land temple, a place that mortals can enter and exit.

The inner world is much larger, and the buildings are in a T-shaped structure.

According to him, the upper part of the Chinese-shaped structure is his own residence.

The two parts below are the residences of the demon servants and the souls temporarily sheltered here.

The entire inner world is called the "Secret Realm of Incense" by the Earth God, and it is created by the incense contributed by believers.

It took generations for the land to reach its current size.

"My lady, please."

The God of Land brought Chongfan into the courtyard.

The courtyard is decorated in a simple yet elegant manner, which shows that the God of Land has put a lot of thought into it.

"Tea."

After sitting down, the God of Land gave an order, and soon a weasel spirit came in with tea.

"This is Xishan Longjing, please try it, Madam."

Chong Fan took a sip. The tea leaves were full of spiritual energy and left a fragrant taste in his mouth.

"Good tea."

Just then, a yellow-haired fox ghost ran in.

"Lord of the Land, the backyard..."

It suddenly stopped talking, like a chicken with its neck strangled, and swallowed the rest of the words fortunately.

Ah, here, there are guests...

The God of Land’s eyebrows stood up, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"You are so flustered! Can't you see I have guests here?"

The fox ghost scratched his head in embarrassment.

He muttered quietly: "Should I say it or not..."

The God of Land was so angry that he almost laughed.

He said unhappily, "What happened? Come and tell me."

So the fox ghost came forward happily, put its sharp mouth close to the ear of the God of Land, and muttered something to himself.

The God of Land suddenly looked serious.
