Chapter 1209: Desired by All (Seeking monthly tickets, two-in-one, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

"Wow, is it not worth celebrating that the life-bound Gu is a Great Demon? Qianlan sister is so humble."

"Yes, so low-key. There is a saying in the Great Shun, what is it..."

"Only quiet and only silent, the extreme of clearing the spirit?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the one. You really know a lot."

"Hahaha..."

The laughter and noise of women came from the wisteria corridor, playing and joking, as colorful as the falling petals.

"Indeed, there is no need. Speaking of which, Qianlan sister is still powerful, older, and calm.

Peak of the third realm, refining the fourth-realm peak life-bound Gu carefully cultivated by the family, and it is a Lingfu Heart Source body. Carefully cultivate for two or three years, the Gu insect will pass through three tribulations

It shows that the choice of life-bound Gu in the Hundred Herbs Stream was as good as ever. Sister Qianlan has always been a self-improving person; feeling embarrassed is just human nature."

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The wisteria corridor was silent.

Surrounded by women, Yun Qianlan, who was being attended to, restrained her smile. That pair of phoenix eyes, meticulously painted with peach-blossom red by her servants, narrowed slightly.

Three zhang away.

Li Xianghan leaned against the brown-yellow flower vines, fallen flowers on her head, her half-dry hair hanging over her shoulders, damp and sticky, bringing out a trace of messy brokenness, as if the person opposite was burning and pressing, making people feel pity.

What a slutty hoof, wearing a coat, running out without drying her hair.

Yun Qianlan despised her in her heart, her lips sticking together, just about to speak.

"Pipa! Pipa!"

The monotonous, mechanical snapping sound interrupted her words first.

"Sigh." Li Xianghan snapped her freshly painted wisteria-flower fingernails and continued to wallow in self-pity, "I'm different. A girl's flowering period is only thirty or forty years. I really couldn't bear to wait two or three years and become a yellow-faced woman, so I thought about going to the wild to try my luck and see if there were better ones.

Who knew that not only did two Great Martial Artists die, but the big Gu insect I brought back was also untamable, and I was scolded by the teacher. It didn't end there; after catching it, I raised it for more than a year, and it really almost failed. I was terrified every day.

Fortunately, I had a bit more luck and didn't waste my efforts. If I had to do it all over again, I definitely wouldn't dare to mess around and would follow the family's arrangements entirely."

The women's eyes flickered.

"Wow." The one on the right was the first to hold her heart, "Sister Xianghan is usually quiet, how did she become so bold? Wild Gu insects, if it were me, I'd be scared to death, how would I dare to raise them."

Once the words were out, the silence was broken.

"Yeah, wild demon beasts are already rare, and the insects are fierce. How did Sister Xianghan manage to control it?"

"What's that saying in Dashun? Years are not cold... things are not difficult..."

"If the years are not cold, you cannot know the pine and cypress; if things are not difficult, you cannot know the gentleman."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's the one. You really know a lot. Of course, the most amazing one is still our Sister Xianghan, so decisive, so persevering."

Needle against wheat awn.

The small group of more than ten women swayed their skirts, like ants smelling sweetness. In the blink of an eye, five or six people separated from Yun Qianlan and turned to surround Li Xianghan.

Yun Qianlan's eyes twitched, feeling unhappy in her heart. She remembered the person who held her heart and crossed her arms: "So it wasn't Sister Xianghan's good luck, just a temporary idea when she happened to encounter it outside?

However... we've been standing outside talking so much, and I still don't know what the so-called Sky Centipede looks like? The wild environment is harsh, and Gu insects are easily injured. Be careful of any physical defects. Why don't you let us sisters help you take a look?"

"Hiss hiss!"

A slender, emerald-green little snake circled her gauze-white forearm, emerging from the tip of Yun Qianlan's index finger, its scarlet snake eyes staring at Li Xianghan, hissing and spitting its tongue.

"It's Sister Qianlan's Red-Eyed Green Snake! What a beautiful snake Gu!"

"Last time I saw it, it was still a demon beast; this time it's already a Great Demon."

The life-bound Gu appeared.

The small group of women that had split off returned again to watch the little snake.

"So cute, so majestic."

"Sister Qianlan is right, Sister Xianghan, why don't you summon your Gu insect? Let us sisters help you take a look."

With no one around her, Li Xianghan was stared at by the green snake's red eyes. She panicked, resisted the urge to retreat, and kept her face calm: "Luck is ethereal, who can know? As for the life-bound Gu..."

Her eyeballs rolled left and right.

Master, Master, where is your insect?

Didn't you say you wanted to deal with her? I only came out because I listened to you. I can't handle this alone!

"Click click."

Her shoulder hurt slightly. Golden joints separated her clothes and pierced into her skin. The familiar sound of mouthparts opening and closing rang in her ears, bringing out a burst of exclamations.

Li Xianghan was not surprised but happy, a heavy stone falling to the ground.

A large centipede landed on Li Xianghan's shoulder, its identity self-evident!

"Is this Sister Xianghan's Sky Centipede?"

"My god, this color, this quality, what a beautiful centipede."

Azure brilliance, armor reflecting bright light, eight transparent wings covered with golden patterns like spider legs, sharp edges, pitch-black curved hook mouthparts as big as a crescent moon, extremely sharp.

Perfect quality!

A-Wei raised its head, straightened its upper body, full of fighting spirit.

The green snake sensed a Gu insect of the same level and, not to be outdone, also raised its head.

But compared to the Golden-Winged Sky Centipede, Yun Qianlan's Red-Eyed Green Snake immediately fell into a disadvantage, completely incomparable.

In the Gu insect world, regardless of strength, those with armor are always more domineering than those with scales, and those with scales are more majestic than those with fur!

"Sister Qianlan, you wanted to see it, isn't this it? My sister has clumsy eyes, I don't know if there are any defects?" Li Xianghan felt secretly happy in her heart, feeling triumphant.

Master Sky Centipede is too giving of face!

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Embroidered shoes of various colors stepped on the wooden boards. The group that had originally surrounded Yun Qianlan to admire the snake Gu split into more than half and surrounded Li Xianghan again, the two sides suddenly forming a six-to-four ratio!

With fewer and fewer people around her, Yun Qianlan couldn't keep her face: "It is indeed good quality, with no defects. No wonder Sister Xianghan was willing to place a bet. However... life-bound Gu should ultimately be judged by strength. I heard that those who come out of wild fighting are all stronger than those raised at home? I wonder if it's true..."

Before the words fell.

A flash of golden light.

In a daze, Yun Qianlan saw the Sky Centipede on Li Xianghan's shoulder flicker and flap its wings to pounce. She leaned back subconsciously, and some liquid splashed onto her eyelids.

She raised her hand to rub her eyes.

Snake blood blurred, her peach-blossom eyeshadow had three parts more crimson, followed by a shrill roar, her forearm was tightly entangled, and her bones creaked.

Not good!

Yun Qianlan's heart was greatly shocked. Ignoring the pain in her arm, she suppressed the instinct to dodge and lowered her head, her mood instantly falling to the bottom.

On the head of the Red-Eyed Green Snake, a ferocious three-inch gash was torn open, green scales flipped back, deep enough to see the bone! If the wound had been even a fraction to the side, the red eye on the left would be gone!

"Plop."

Crimson snake blood dripped onto the ground along her fingers, splashing blood flowers.

How is this possible!

When?

Everyone was stunned on the spot, unable to believe it. The Sky Centipede and the Green Snake were clearly both Great Demons, and Yun Qianlan's Red-Eyed Green Snake had even advanced a month earlier. How could it be injured in one encounter?

Looking at the Golden-Winged Sky Centipede again, it seemed as if it hadn't moved.

"Ah!" The person holding her heart was the first to break the dead silence, rushing forward, "Sister Qianlan, you're injured!"

"Quick, stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding!"

The frozen scene flowed again.

"Click click."

Sunlight pierced through the wisteria flowers.

The Sky Centipede stayed on her shoulder, its curved mouthparts flashing with clear light.

Li Xianghan opened her eyes wide, her breathing heavy. At this moment, she couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything clearly. Her lower abdomen felt cold, just like when she was a child riding in a carriage, crossing an arched bridge, passing through a river, the carriage swaying, climbing to the highest point of the arched bridge, and then the weightlessness of leaping down.

Silhouettes were blurry, and low shouts rang out continuously.

Yun Qianlan hurriedly covered the green wound, servants handed over gauze in a panic... Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene, at a loss.

Her pupils refocused, Li Xianghan resisted the urge to breathe, tilted her head slightly, and tentatively asked: "Great King?"

A-Wei turned its head and circled.

What Great King, why call it Great King, the Great King didn't come.

To deal with such a small fry, why bother the Heavenly God to descend? It alone was enough.

Joints faced north, head lowered.

Humerus! Bone!

"Ah!!! Yeah yeah yeah!!" Li Xianghan screamed wildly in her heart, roaring, flailing her limbs, dancing, shaking her head, resisting the urge to go up and stomp, to stomp Yun Qianlan's head into a pit. She pretended to be concerned and sobbed, "Are you okay, Sister Qianlan? It's all my sister's fault.

The Sky Centipede advanced to Great Demon, it's a bit swollen, it can't listen to provocative words, it's my fault for not disciplining it well. You said that, it thought it was a fight, I'll discipline it when I go back! But then again, Sister, why are you so careless."

"I'm... I'm fine." Yun Qianlan showed an awkward smile on her face, "It was my carelessness, I didn't let the Green Snake dodge."

Outside the crowd, at the end of the corridor.

The Saintess Yu Aoshan, dressed in black, was secretly shocked, then worried.

"Li Xianghan has really become powerful. What should I do if she comes to snatch my man?"

The ink tail swayed, white steam scattered.

The abyss giant mouth sneaked, leaped with all its might, and swallowed the rainbow light.

Pitch-black eyeballs turned, confirming it had swallowed the treasure fish. The fat catfish hurriedly closed its mouth, blocked its nostrils with its fins, and hugged its tail, not letting its butt show, becoming a leak-proof toad.

After a while.

A pale rainbow floated out faintly from its eyeballs, swam around its mouth, and headed for freedom.

Fins covered it, the rainbow passed through the fins.

Whiskers curled it, the rainbow passed through the whiskers.

The fat catfish didn't believe in evil, chased the Phoenix Immortal treasure fish, swallowed, swallowed, and swallowed again. Without exception, it couldn't keep it in. The invincible big mouth personally bestowed by the Heavenly God actually failed in front of a treasure fish.

"Alright, stop playing."

The fat catfish opened its mouth, exited with regret, and gave up its position.

"Where is the Phoenix Immortal?" Long Eying looked around curiously.

"There, that piece of colorful light." Liang Qu also looked around, trying hard to distinguish the color difference.

In the Marsh Kingdom, it was always like a cloudy day, not clear. He waved his hand, two little otters grabbed fluorescent jellyfish, aimed at the Phoenix Immortal treasure fish, and the light scattered some colorful rainbow light.

A piece of "rainbow gauze" about seven feet long, more than two meters long, the soft gauze layered, and one could feel the silkiness, completely unlike a normal fish, or perhaps the color was too faint, making it hard to see the fish head position clearly.

The whole treasure fish was more like a phoenix tail, perhaps the origin of the Phoenix Immortal name.

Long Eying reached out, her five fingers passed through the treasure fish, and the disturbed water flow startled the Phoenix Immortal to flee.

"Is this the Phoenix Immortal?" Long Eying was very curious.

"That's right! Formless and colorful, and its color can change between light and heavy. At its faintest, it's almost transparent. Without effort, it's hard to distinguish the color difference.

At its most vivid, it's about the same as a normal rainbow you can see after the rain." Liang Qu changed the orientation space inside the Marsh Kingdom, letting the Phoenix Immortal return to his front.

"There is actually a formless living creature in the world. How do you plan to eat it?"

"Eat? Too wasteful." Liang Qu shook his head, "Of course, first make the best use of it, and according to Elder Frog, this Phoenix Immortal treasure fish should be able to grow for a short time.

First let Round-Head raise it in the Marsh Kingdom, see if it can go a step further, grow an inch or two, and during this period, let it out to collect tickets!"

"Tickets?" Long Eying was surprised, "How to collect tickets for this?"

"It's one of the Eight Beauties of Jianghuai, how can you not? One tael to take a look, ten taels to touch, no cheating children or old people, it will definitely attract more people to visit Pingyang.

By then, my thirteen fiefs will exhibit it for ten days each! Just put it in the new wooden building. I'll leave this matter to you, Madam, I don't trust others."

Liang Qu has really been short of money recently.

Making verbal promises everywhere to attract investment.

Don't know how much is missing, don't know how much there is, it has completely become a muddled account.

In short, you bring people to build first, money is calculated separately.

"So many ghost ideas, but with so many people coming to watch, what if someone steals it?" Long Eying worried.

"Can't steal it, it takes effort for me to catch it, let alone others, and unless it's eaten on the spot, Elder Frog will definitely be able to find it back."

"Don't blame me if it's lost."

"Who does Madam look down on? A treasure fish, would I bear to blame Madam?"

Long Eying was happy, pushed Liang Qu's chest: "Alright, I'll arrange it tomorrow."

"By the way." Liang Qu brought up another matter, "Where did you put the gold and silver cup of the Old Dragon King that Elder Frog gave me last time?"

This time, the old toad's generosity opened Liang Qu's eyes and refreshed his cognition. Listening to Frog Mobile Corps Commander complain, recently, besides going out to catch treasure fish every day, the old toad threatened the big frogs to return its property. Every day when he went out, he first kicked the bellies of Big Fat and Second Fat, using them as starters.

Big Fat and Second Fat were just lying flat.

No fish, just a frog life.

Reciprocating.

Liang Qu wanted to return the gold and silver cup he received last time to Elder Frog.

"It should be in the box, I'll look for it."

The Prince's Mansion was renovated, Liang Qu's family lived in the Yang Mansion, and things were hidden in boxes.

Long Eying found the corresponding storage box by memory. As a result, when she found it, she discovered the box was covered with suspicious water stains.

Ominous premonition.

Liang Qu's eyebrows twitched: "Open it and see."

Creak.

Inside the silk, the peach-red silk cloth was stained with suspicious mucus, and a depression in the center presented the shape of the gold and silver cup. As for the whereabouts of the gold and silver cup...

Liang Qu pinched his eyebrows: "It's fine."

The next day.

Long Eying began to create momentum for the Phoenix Immortal treasure fish, first spending money to invite the great poet Liu Zhengfeng of the Imperial Capital, the author of most of A-Fei's poems, an old friend, to write a poem for the Phoenix Immortal treasure fish, and then fabricate a set of plausible legendary stories, saying that those who had contact with it would become big figures in the future.

Having followed Liang Qu for many years, the Water Lord's wife was familiar with this marketing method. That day, she went to the Imperial Capital in person, pulled in the ladies she knew, and let them bring their children to touch it and play together.

It was called—consecration.

One passed to ten, ten to a hundred, everyone came.

One tael to take a look, ten taels to touch, it wasn't expensive, no one wanted their children to lose at the starting line.

Just in one day, more than four hundred people came, harvesting more than three thousand taels of silver!

Liang Qu's matters were also not few.

First was the Da He Li Clan, after several days of investigation, Da He Li General Work Protection, they had the intention to stay, and were discussing salary and territory. Liang Qu directly divided half of the ownership of the mineral vein discovered by the fist in the fief to the Da He Li.

The territory still needed to be built.

Regardless, come to work first, build the Prince's Mansion well.

The Eternal Spring Tree in Yixing County had already been urged to grow, looking like it should, although no houses were built, it was a hundred zhang high, already becoming a spectacular landmark, and it could produce returns one after another this year, reaching a certain production scale within two to three years.

The remaining twelve ports, port construction was also roughly completed.

"Need to set up thirteen people in charge, to be more relaxed."

Liang Qu circled and drew on the register, wrote a hedgehog on the position of Yixing, then down to Jiaoren Quan Guangqin, Quan Yuxuan...

"Let them submit the first five-year construction plan first, see the quality."

Everything was orderly.

"Calling Boss! Calling Boss! A fellow villager who speaks Dashun official language has arrived! And even mentioned White Cloud!"

"Oh?"

Consciousness jumped to the Loulan Kingdom, Liang Qu heard the conversation of horse merchants separated by a layer of curtain.

"Of course, it is said to stretch for hundreds of miles, it is the legendary Whale Emperor! Came to take something away, and gave the Loulan Kingdom Lord a huge reward!"

"Oh... what reward?"

"I don't know about that."

"Sure enough..."

Liang Qu sighed.

When he came to Loulan in the past, he saw the thick Qi of the position fruit, just like Sun Wukong picking ginseng fruit, the ginseng fruit was hanging on the tree, but he didn't have the golden strike, and when he came back, the "ginseng fruit" had already been taken away by the Whale Emperor.

Countless heroes.

Top of the East Sea Great Hunting Meeting.

Does he have a chance?

"Well done, mission accomplished, return to the team! Continue to search for the Jianghuai remnants."

"Obey!"

Midnight.

Money is a good thing, Liang Qu counted the silver notes obtained from the Phoenix Immortal exhibition, thought about the appropriation to the hedgehog, and suddenly remembered that he had another harvest waiting to be collected.

"Saintess's gift money..."

Stuffed the silver notes.

【Spirit Descent】!

"Hehehe..."

Candlelight flickered, weird laughter echoed in the room.

Liang Qu was startled, looked around, and found the source of the sound.

Li Xianghan's head was buried in the quilt, shaking her calves, emitting bursts of snickering.

So cool!

So cool!

Stifled for a whole day, didn't dare to lose composure.

Yun Qianlan's shocked appearance was really satisfying, satisfying! It made people unable to stop, endless aftertaste! She only got a little blessing, drank a mouthful of soup flowing out of the Martial Saint, and life became so wonderful. She really didn't know what kind of fairy life the Prince of Huai of Dashun lived.

Must be kicking the old man on the left, kicking the genius on the right, in the process of all families and everyone not believing in evil, completing one counter-kill after another, stunning the whole Dashun...

Damn, how can there be such an awesome person?

Damn, how come such an awesome person isn't herself?

"You!" Joints knocked on the window, "Have I been too indulgent to you?"
