Chapter 103
"You know each other? That's great!"
Xiao Xiao Cancan was happy and hurriedly pulled the beautiful woman to sit down.
Yan Xiao's brain was still a bit blank; he had no reason not to remember such a big-breasted girl.
But she had accurately called out his name.
"Who are you?" Yan Xiao asked suspiciously.
The beautiful woman looked disappointed, her expression sorrowful: "I thought you would recognize me at first sight, but I didn't expect you to be so forgetful. It's my own overconfidence."
Yan Xiao was so embarrassed, he hurriedly said: "No, I'm face-blind. Right, what was her name again? Give me a hint, maybe I'll remember."
Yan Xiao hurriedly looked at Xiao Xiao Cancan.
Xiao Xiao Cancan was also curious about their relationship and said: "Su Sister Wanli!"
"Su Sister Wanli?" Yan Xiao scratched his head. This name was so unfamiliar; he really had no impression of it at all.
Zhou Qing, on the side, picked up the melon seeds on the table and started cracking them.
No matter how he looked at it, this Su Sister Wanli was a resentful woman. Third Zhou Shixiong is amazing; he eats and wipes his mouth, and doesn't recognize anyone.
"You even brought your Junior Shidi here!" Su Sister Wanli looked at Zhou Qing, her eyes flickering.
Yan Xiao was surprised: "You even know my Junior Shidi? Then what's his name?"
"Zhou Qing!" Su Sister Wanli said.
As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiao couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. No, how does she know everything?
"Third Zhou Shixiong, introduce her!" Zhou Qing said with a smile, looking like he wanted to see the fun.
Yan Xiao didn't pay attention to Zhou Qing, but stared tightly at Su Sister Wanli, stammering: "That, big sister, I really don't know you. How about you give me another hint?"
Su Sister Wanli sighed softly, but lowered her head and didn't speak, looking heartbroken.
Xiao Xiao Cancan gently stroked her back and said to the two: "I've known Sister Sister Wanli for several years. Some time ago, her husband and child were killed by monsters, and she was the only one who escaped..."
"My husband, my child—" As soon as Xiao Xiao Cancan said this, Su Sister Wanli covered her face and wept.
Yan Xiao pondered deeply.
Listening to this, Su Wanli is a local of Lingyun Prefecture. But, this is his first time here.
Then how did she know him? Even the Fourth one knows.
What exactly is going on?
At this moment, Zhou Qing was also curious. After all, he hadn't met many women.
Unfortunately, 【Daily Appraisal】 can only appraise objects, not people.
Unless—
Zhou Qing looked at Su Sister Wanli carefully again, trying to find some familiar traces.
"Second Yuan Shijie?" Zhou Qing shouted tentatively.
Su Sister Wanli looked at Zhou Qing, blinked, and then looked at Yan Xiao with an angry expression: "See, Junior Shidi can recognize me, but you didn't. What, you don't recognize me because I'm disguised?"
Yan Xiao was shocked: "Are you really Second Yuan Shijie? No, no matter how you disguise yourself, you can't change your head, right? And this chest..."
Slap!
Before Yan Xiao could finish, Su Sister Wanli stood up and gave Yan Xiao a loud slap on the back of his neck.
"This is the interest. Give me some money quickly, I'm in a hurry!" Su Sister Wanli said aggressively.
Yan Xiao was also a bit embarrassed and hurriedly took out a thousand inferior-grade spirit stones.
"Second Yuan Shijie, what kind of cultivation technique is this? It's like a living person changing!" Yan Xiao said, touching the burning back of his neck after giving the money.
Su Sister Wanli took the money and smiled: "Want to learn? I'll teach you another day."
"Really? Then thank you, Second Yuan Shijie," Yan Xiao said excitedly.
Xiao Xiao Cancan was also happy: "So it's all family. My name is Xiao Xiao Cancan, very happy to meet everyone. Right, Sister Sister Wanli, you lied to me so hard. You said you were a loose cultivator before, but you actually have a sect and a Shidi."
"That was in the past. Junior Shidi, you're still the smart one, recognizing Yuan Shijie at a glance!" Su Sister Wanli looked at Zhou Qing with a smile.
But at this moment, Zhou Qing frowned, looking suspiciously at Su Sister Wanli.
Second Yuan Shijie's name is Luo Luo Lingling. She likes to call them "Third Tiger" and "Little Little Aqing" the most, not "Junior Shidi" like this, which sounds distant.
And Yuan Shijie loves them very much. Every time they meet, she likes to pinch his cheeks and say things like "My Little Little Aqing has grown taller or become fairer."
But there was none of that now.
It's over. He seems to have misled Third Zhou Shixiong and wasted a thousand inferior-grade spirit stones.
He was just shouting tentatively. After all, there weren't many people he knew who were women.
You, on the other hand, took the opportunity to go down the slope.
At this moment, seeing Zhou Qing staring at her with cold eyes, Su Sister Wanli felt guilty and immediately started laughing.
"It seems Junior Shidi is stunned. I suddenly remembered I have an important matter to attend to. You guys keep eating, and Xiao Cancan and I will be back soon!"
Su Sister Wanli said, pulled Xiao Xiao Cancan, and hurriedly left.
Yan Xiao hurriedly stood up: "Second Yuan Shijie, what are you doing? Is the money enough? If not, I have more here. Mo Mo Xingjian misses you very much..."
"Misses my ass, that's not Second Yuan Shijie!" Seeing the two about to escape, Zhou Qing was completely certain of his guess and flew down from the window.
Looking around, in the bustling crowd, there was no trace of them.
This speed was too fast.
"Number Four, what do you mean?" Yan Xiao also hurriedly came down to ask.
Zhou Qing looked at Third Zhou Shixiong embarrassedly.
Yan Xiao also quickly looked at the crowd, but unfortunately, there were too many cultivators here, their blood energy was vigorous, and it was easy to be interfered with.
"You mean, the hunter became the hunted today?" Yan Xiao, who finally reacted, exclaimed.
Zhou Qing nodded.
Isn't it obvious enough?
"I'll be damned—" Yan Xiao was so angry that his face turned red, and he flew into the sky, his massive spiritual sense constantly searching.
Insult, this is a serious insult to his intelligence!
Not only that, she slapped him, and he happily gave her a thousand spirit stones.
Damn, for so many years, except for Mo Mo Xingjian, no one had ever hit him, and it was a woman!
This is unbearable!
Zhou Qing also hurriedly helped search.
Unfortunately, he didn't see a single trace.
"Damn, damn, damn!"
After Yan Xiao came down, he stomped his feet in anger, his whole body trembling.
He had lived for decades and had never suffered such a big loss.
Zhou Qing apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, Third Zhou Shixiong..."
"It has nothing to do with you. I've thought about every woman I've ever met in my life, and at the time, I also thought about whether Second Yuan Shijie was deliberately teasing us," Yan Xiao spat and cursed.
Hearing Yan Xiao's words, Zhou Qing suddenly felt something flash through his mind.
He hurriedly made a gesture to be quiet, then showed a thoughtful expression.
Just now, this Su Sister Wanli's tone of voice seemed inexplicably familiar. She was extremely familiar with Third Zhou Shixiong.
Especially after slapping him and taking the money, she even said it was interest.
What kind of interest?
And she knew him, but seemed very strange.
Suddenly, Zhou Qing thought of something, immediately looked at Third Zhou Shixiong, and shouted: "So it's her!"
"Who?" Yan Xiao hurriedly asked.
Zhou Qing said: "That female ghost from Qingmu City."
"Li Li Shitao?" Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.
Thinking about it carefully, oh my, it really is her!
That look, that tone, no one was more familiar with it than him.
"She succeeded in possession?" Zhou Qing exclaimed.
Yan Xiao frowned: "It seems so."
The last time they met was in the Ghost City, when everyone was surrounded by the Blood Tai Sui, and it was she who guided everyone to escape.
However, because Mo Mo Xingjian exposed himself later, fighting the Tai Sui and the Chiyan Chiyan Longshi people alone, she was so scared that she turned and ran, losing her trace since then.
"This woman, her desire for revenge is too strong. No, how did she come all the way to Lingyun Prefecture? What happened during this period?"
Yan Xiao kept touching the back of his neck and talking to himself.
Zhou Qing shook his head. How would he know about this?
"Sister Wanli sister, what happened?" After the two hid in a corner, Xiao Xiao Cancan asked breathlessly.
Li Li Shitao poked her head out to look, and after confirming that Yan Xiao hadn't caught up, she let out a long sigh of relief.
She also didn't expect that after parting ways at the Ghost City, the two would meet here.
Looking back, everything was like a dream.
At the beginning, Yan Xiao didn't know what cultivation technique he used, but he actually cut off an arm of that Soul Formation realm Yin Spirit.
That kind of thing was a top-tier supplement for her, and she risked her life to grab it.
There was no need to talk about what happened later. In short, after escaping the Ghost City, she just wandered around, going wherever she wanted, focusing on doing whatever she pleased.
She didn't know how long she had been muddled when she saw a couple fighting a bear-type monster.
They looked very angry. Looking closely, she found that on the ground lay the corpse of a teenager, who looked like he had been cold for a long time, with a huge blood hole in his stomach.
For a moment, she seemed to understand something.
The final result was that the bear monster dragged its wounded body and fled in a panic, the man was slapped to death on the spot, and the woman was also on the verge of death.
She appeared floating, wanting to observe closely. After the woman discovered her, she took the initiative to propose that she possess her.
As a condition of exchange, she hoped to bury the family of three together, instead of leaving them in the wilderness to be gnawed by monsters.
She naturally wanted nothing more, as this woman was at the Jin Dan realm.
Finally, she became Su Sister Wanli and once again possessed a body of her own.
After setting up a cenotaph, she returned to Lingyun Prefecture and started her brand-new life.
Similarly, because of the absorbed memories, she easily integrated into the new living environment and met many new friends, such as the one in front of her.
Facing Xiao Xiao Cancan's inquiry, Li Li Shitao also calmed her breath and said: "It's nothing, just playing around. Sister has money today, I'll treat you to something delicious."
"Sister Wanli sister, you make me very worried. Look, we've known each other for several years. This time, Brother-in-law and Ke brother had an accident. I know you are sad in your heart, but you pretend to be very happy on the surface. I know this is a manifestation of extreme sadness."
"How about we find a place and have a good cry? You'll feel better after crying!"
Xiao Xiao Cancan said worriedly.
Li Li Shitao felt both warm and funny in her heart.
I'm really happy. You insist on making me cry, but I can't cry at all.
From another perspective, replacing someone else's appearance is actually continuing the life that belongs to the other party.
She used to be a person of flesh and blood too. After experiencing death, she had a deep feeling about this.
"Don't worry, I'm really fine. Now I just want to spend money. Are you going to accompany me or not?" Li Li Shitao said.
Xiao Xiao Cancan naturally agreed. She only learned about the big changes in Sister Wanli sister's family in the last two days.
So she specifically made an appointment for Sister Wanli sister to come out to relax, and she racked her brains to escape from home again.
Unexpectedly, she was discovered by the guards left by her father, and they tracked her all the way to that restaurant.
"Of course I'll accompany you. Let's go. I know a place. Today, little sister will take advantage of sister's light!" Xiao Xiao Cancan said happily.
Li Li Shitao said: "That's right. But it's not taking advantage of me, but both of us taking advantage of my old friend."
"Would that be bad?" Xiao Xiao Cancan said.
Li Li Shitao waved her hand: "It's fine. He has money. Who told him to chase me last time."
"He chased you too?"
"I chased him too."
"Alright, it looks like you didn't know each other without fighting."
"You could say that. Right, Xiao Cancan, I want to say a complete goodbye to the past. From now on, I won't be called Su Sister Wanli. My name is Li Li Shitao. You can call me Sister Tao."
"That's fine, as long as you can feel comfortable in your heart. Then Sister Tao, let's go."
"My little husband, aren't you going to hold my hand?"
"Haha, little wife, I'm coming."
Afterward, amidst the envious gazes of others, the two stepped into the crowd and headed in a certain direction...
"What happened?"
Seeing Yan Xiao return with a look of dissatisfaction, Qian Qian Dafu asked suspiciously.
Zhou Qing smiled and said it was nothing, maybe it was because they didn't buy the ingredients for the Baby-Forming Pill today.
"It seems my luck is better. An old friend happens to have a Spirit Soul Ganoderma, and I asked him to keep it for me. I'll take you to get it tomorrow!" Qian Qian Dafu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the two were immediately excited.
"Thank you, Manager!"
"What are you thanking me for? Have you eaten? Want to have a drink together?"
"Must!"
Sometimes it's really metaphysical. Before, the two of them were obsessed with collecting the materials for the Baby-Forming Pill and couldn't buy them.
Now, after letting go and letting nature take its course, they have bought several stalks one after another. Now they have seven stalks of spirit medicine.
At the same time, the auction was getting closer and closer, and the number of people coming to Lingyun Prefecture was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wait!"
Just as the two were strolling, several servants suddenly blocked their way.
Afterward, a chubby man with a round face, white and red, and a somewhat fat body walked out from behind the crowd.
He was dressed in luxurious silk and satin, the colors bright and eye-catching, and the golden silk thread shining brightly in the sun.
A pair of small eyes were squeezed into a slit by the fat on his face, but they rolled around from time to time, not knowing what he was calculating.
He was playing with a jade pendant in his hand, looking at the two arrogantly.
"Something up?" Yan Xiao took a step forward, protecting Zhou Qing behind him and asked.
This young chubby man didn't speak, but a Jin Dan servant took out a portrait and unfolded it.
"Have you seen her?" the servant asked.
The two looked, and were stunned for a moment.
Isn't this Xiao Xiao Cancan, whom they had met twice before?
"You know her?" Now it was Yan Xiao's turn to ask hurriedly.
Looking at Yan Xiao's impatient look, the chubby man snorted coldly, looking displeased: "She is my fiancée. Someone saw you eating at the same table. I advise you..."
"She's your fiancée? Damn it, pay up—"
Before the chubby man could finish, Yan Xiao was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbing his collar and saying fiercely.
"My thousand spirit stones were cheated away by her. Since you are her fiancé, it saves me from looking for her. Pay up!" Yan Xiao said aggressively.
At this moment, the other servants reacted and immediately surrounded them.
"Let go of our young master!"
The chubby man was also frightened by Yan Xiao's sudden move, but soon seemed very happy and said: "So there's nothing between you two. I said, our eyes look about the same, she doesn't like me, how could she like you."
Yan Xiao was stunned, his face immediately darkened.
"What do you mean our eyes look the same? I have naturally small eyes and single eyelids, yours are purely squeezed by fat. Don't try to get close to me, pay up!" Yan Xiao said firmly.
The chubby man smiled and said: "Paying is no problem for this young master, you let go first, but you have to give me a receipt, I have to show it to her."
Yan Xiao looked at him suspiciously, and after a brief hesitation, slowly let go.
The servants around immediately protected the chubby man behind them, staring at the two with threats.
"You guys move aside, it's fine!" The chubby man pushed away the people blocking the front, then patted one person.
That person bent over immediately, and the chubby man took out a piece of paper, spread it on the person's back, and started writing.
Zhou Qing quietly pulled Yan Xiao and whispered: "This chubby man looks quite wealthy, several servants are Jin Dan realms, and there's the one who chased Xiao Xiao Cancan last time, also the same. Are we..."
Zhou Qing stopped mid-sentence. Yan Xiao naturally understood Zhou Qing's worry.
"Don't worry, I'm only taking back what belongs to us, I won't have too much contact with them."
Yan Xiao gave Zhou Qing a reassuring look.
Soon, the chubby man finished writing and smiled: "Don't blame me, two brothers. It's mainly because a thousand medium-grade spirit stones is a lot, and I'm paying for someone else, so I have to be secure. You look at it first, if it's okay, you can sign and press your fingerprint."
The chubby man handed over the receipt and skillfully took out red ink paste.
The two were stunned for a moment, then looked at the content on the paper.
Damn, I said a thousand spirit stones, but I didn't say medium-grade. Are you this rich?
If they had these thousand medium-grade spirit stones, they could probably buy the Baby-Forming Pill in the auction with their eyes closed.
And you are too big-hearted.
We are cultivators, not mortals. Still signing and pressing fingerprints?
I'll just write a random name, and you won't be able to find me.
For a moment, both were tempted.
But soon, they looked at each other, and both had a decision in their hearts.
This cheapness cannot be taken!
Not to mention Zhou Qing, Yan Xiao never embezzled a single cent when he went out to ask for reimbursement from the Master, always being precise. Not to mention that when they returned to the sect, they would be nouveau riche.
Why sell their conscience for this money?
"Everything else is correct, but the money is written wrong. It's not a thousand medium-grade, but a thousand inferior-grade!" Yan Xiao said.
And Zhang Wan Bao, who had originally been imagining that he could have a legitimate excuse to find Xiao Xiao Cancan, looked at the two in disbelief.
"Inferior-grade? Not medium-grade?" Zhang Wan Bao confirmed again.
The two nodded in unison.
"You'd better think it over. The difference between the two is not just a little bit. If you didn't say it, I could have given you the medium-grade ones," Zhang Wan Bao said.
Yan Xiao snorted: "What do you take us brothers for? Hurry up."
"Look, look, in all these years, I've seen all kinds of people, but this is the first time I've met such noble-minded people. It's simply a clear stream. I, Zhang Wan Bao, recognize these brothers. May I ask the names of the two brothers?"
Zhang Wan Bao stepped forward excitedly and arched his hands to inquire.
Yan Xiao said: "Names are just titles, just pay the money."
"Alright, since the two brothers don't want to reveal more, I won't force it. My name is Zhang Wanbao, my father is Zhang Yifu, the president of the only Wan Xiang Auction House in Lingyun Prefecture. If you need any help in the future, just come to the auction house to find me, just report my name."
Zhang Wan Bao said proudly.
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao looked at the chubby man in disbelief.
No, the auction house is opened by your family? No wonder you are so rich.
"Here, this is a thousand inferior-grade spirit stones, but you still have to press your fingerprint," Zhang Wan Bao wrote another receipt.
After Yan Xiao received the money, he pressed it.
"Alright, we'll meet again if fate allows!" Zhang Wan Bao said happily, holding the receipt.
Yan Xiao looked at his chubby appearance, and added the words he said about Xiao Xiao Cancan not liking him when he grabbed his collar, and vaguely guessed something.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Watching the other party about to leave, Yan Xiao suddenly hugged Zhou Qing and said leisurely: "That cross-dressing Xiao Xiao Cancan, right? She might not like me, but she might not necessarily not like others."
Zhang Wan Bao was stunned, then immediately looked at the fair-faced Zhou Qing, his pupils shrinking.
This guy seems to be indeed better looking than them.
"So it's you, hurry up and surround them!" Zhang Wan Bao shouted immediately.
In a luxurious restaurant, Zhang Wan Bao sat to the side, his face full of gratitude.
"So that's how it is, misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. You treated her to a meal, and I, Zhang Wan Bao, will definitely repay it a hundred or a thousand times. This restaurant, including the dozen or so outside, are all opened by my family. You can order whatever you want, eat as much as you want!"
Zhang Wan Bao said heroically.
The two secretly clicked their tongues. This really is meeting a top-tier rich second generation.
It's just that I don't know how much ransom I can get from your father if I kidnap you?
"We've met without fighting, so I won't be polite!" Yan Xiao started ordering with a smile.
