Chapter 412: Fishing Enforcement and Acting for Justice (First Update)

~7 min read 1,347 words

"Shopkeeper, give me ten catties of lean meat, minced into bits, and don't let me see a single speck of fat on it."

"Right away!"

"Shopkeeper, give me another ten catties, all fat, don't let me see a single speck of lean on it, and it must be minced into bits too."

"Uh, right away!"

"Shopkeeper, give me another ten catties of soft cartilage, also finely minced into bits, and don't let me see any meat on it."

Although this butcher was burly and rough-looking, he didn't have the violent temper of Butcher Zheng, leaving me with no opportunity to Role-playing as Lu the Tattooed Monk.

"She tied me to a pillar and whipped me with willow branches for an hour! My lord, if you don't believe me, you can look at my backside; it hasn't fully healed yet."

"Heh."

"Tsk."

Ren Yidao was not discouraged; as he took the minced meat, he asked one more question: "Hmm, is it short-weighted?"

???

Regardless of what the other party's identity truly was, it was not something a lowly butcher like him could afford to offend.

Recalling the scene from back then, the butcher's legs trembled, and he was on the verge of a breakdown, but under Ren Yidao's scorching gaze, he had nowhere to run and could only bite the bullet and recount the miserable situation.

"Oh~ so you've been taught a lesson by someone before?"

After soothing the butcher with a few words, Ren Yidao walked quickly out of the butcher shop and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Carrying this meat, well, there would always be a use for it; at worst, I'll just feed it to the wolves.

Watching this fawning and servile appearance, Ren Yidao blinked, thinking of a possibility.

The three of them were the Hum-Hum Monster, the Ha-Ha Monster, and the He-He Monster.

If one can spend money to avoid disaster and settle things peacefully, then don't stir up more trouble; once things escalate, who knows what more excessive things might be provoked.

A spoiled disciple out for a stroll?

No, perhaps even more astonishing than that; maybe a high-level master of the Dao who is skilled in maintaining a youthful appearance.

"This meat, do you still want it?"

Ren Yidao tilted his head, quickly dismissed the thought, and raised an eyebrow:

"No, it's not fear of me, but fear of other things."

It really is a pity!

"I don't understand, since your heart is clear, what are you afraid of?"

"However, come to think of it, that butcher had already been taught a lesson by someone before; I was still a step too late."

He had clearly tried so hard.

"Unlike my impulsive fishing enforcement, this fairy... hmm, what a fine heroine acting for justice! In this world, such people really do exist."

Rather than calling it the survival wisdom of a small person, it is more of a tragedy.

"What did she do to you?"

"Angry? Ah haha, my lord, you are joking; you are doing business with me properly, how could I be angry?"

Ren Yidao flicked his finger, and the three portions of minced meat floated lightly into his hand; he weighed them slightly and then stored them in his storage space.

Truly silent and Broken Defense!

Not to mention, the undisguised air of nobility about the other party showed at a glance that they were no ordinary person.

Bad review!

Ren Yidao smacked his lips explicitly, feeling that this Role-playing session was quite unfulfilling.

Shouldn't you have said the classic line, "Are you not trying to toy with me!"?

And the butcher, upon hearing Ren Yidao's heaven-defying statement, had his mouth twitch; he wiped the sweat from his forehead with that dark, shiny rag and gave a dry laugh.

"My lord, please take it!"

I had already picked a butcher with the heaviest Evil, yet the grand drama I expected was so lukewarm.

Hmm?

"Shopkeeper, I've gone this far, why are you still not angry?"

Originally, Ren Yidao remembered that the Ying-Ying Monster was a good title, but he really didn't have the habit of whimpering, so he had to give it up in pain.

After receiving the money, the butcher also understood that the youth before him was not a bad person; he set his mind at ease, and with quite nimble hands, he quickly prepared the three portions of minced meat that Ren Yidao had made difficult.

"Ah, that won't be necessary, I believe you, hmm, I believe you!"

Really not bad.

"She, she..."

"The folk customs of this Qingyun Prefecture City are truly simple and honest; they dare to take off their pants just like that... it's too terrifying."

On the way to rendezvous with Yaoyue and Canglan, Ren Yidao distracted himself by listening to the conversations of passing commoners, and as expected, he heard some words related to "punishing the wicked," "eradicating evil," and "fairy."

Although the Role-playing failed, Ren Yidao would not go so far as to toy with innocent mortals.

After being silenced for a good while, the butcher knew that dragging it out wouldn't solve the problem, so he spoke slowly:

"... I won't hide it from you, my lord, three days ago, because of this short-weighting business, I was already punished by a fairy."

This mysterious fairy had only stayed in Qingyun Prefecture City for less than five days, yet had done no fewer than ten great good deeds.

Tell me in detail, I'm not short on time.

And not knowing someone, for a merchant who had been mixing in the marketplace for many years, would make him subconsciously alert.

A fairy's punishment?

Oh!

Huhu is interested.

Hearing this answer, Ren Yidao, who had already been eager to try, tilted his head.

"Ahem, then I understand. Since you've already been punished, behave yourself in the future and don't commit the same mistake again, okay? Hmm... and make sure to let your backside heal well."

"I will, of course I will. I certainly won't short you on the silver."

"What's wrong?"

I followed the steps exactly, didn't I?

The butcher hadn't expected Ren Yidao to actually pay, so he hurriedly said loudly, "Many thanks for your mercy, my lord!"

Hm?

Why does this ingredient feel a bit familiar?

Therefore, even while knowing the other party was toying with him, he still put on a thick-skinned face and acted as if he hadn't noticed anything.

"Hm? Are you very afraid? Are you afraid of me?"

Full weight and measure, with one portion of minced meat even having an extra half-tael.

Butcher:!!!

Clang!

The minced meat in the butcher's hand nearly slipped, his legs went weak, and his knees hit the counter with a thud.

As the lord of the two generals Heng and Ha, Ren Yidao, in order not to appear so unconventional, decided to give them a matching title—【Hehe】.

He casually tossed out a piece of broken silver, which landed lightly in the butcher's hand.

111.253.209.85

It is truly a pity.

As soon as these words were spoken, the butcher's expression froze completely, and he stood there in awkward silence.

Regarding the butcher's enthusiasm to turn around and strip, Ren Yidao politely declined on the spot, demonstrating his strong trust in him.

Refund!

And the butcher, seeing the look of impatience on Ren Yidao's face, felt the knife in his hand tremble, and said in a dry voice:

"M-my lord?"

What are you~ afraid~ of?

After seeing Ren Yidao cast a spell, the panic in the butcher's eyes deepened, though he still forced a smile on the surface: "My lord! I, uh, am not afraid of you... ah, I respect you."

This mouth of mine is almost having the effect of Garen buying Last Whisper.

"... Alrighty!"

Just as Ren Yidao was pondering, he had already wandered back to the restaurant where Yaoyue and the others were eating and drinking.

Then, before he could even enter the door, he saw a black shadow fly out from before him.

"You stinking beggar, still trying to sneak in for a free meal!"
