NOVEL WEB Chapter 51: Back to In-See City
The thick fog that the group had to struggle with in the beginning started to subside. Zheng-Fu believed that it was because of the disappearance of the grudging spirits…
The corpses of the Iron-Horned Bison Monster were cut into parts. Tong-Kuang took out their horns and some of the innards. They also kept their meats to eat and sell them…
Yan-Yu: “We’re going to be rich this time. The Bisons’ horns are strong and fine. It is like 2,000 monster crystal coins each. And we have more than 20 of them. So, it should be…”
Ji-Zhung-Gong: “It should be 40,000 monster crystal coins!”
“Hahaha!”
Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong laughed because they were happy to talk about the money that they could get from selling the horns of the Iron-Horned Bison Monsters…
“Ahem!”
Dan-Chun-Gu: “Both of you can only dream. Those monsters belong to young master Zheng-Fu. We have no rights to them!”
Dan-Chun-Gu said while trying to calm Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong down. Both fighters stopped smiling and turned to feel sad instantly…
“Don’t worry guys. After we are done with this trip, I’ll give you what I owe you. I’ll give you half of what I’ll sell.” Zheng-Fu said while smiling at the guys…
“Half of it!”
From being very sad, Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong started to shout with happiness after hearing that Zheng-Fu would give them half of the profit that he was going to make from the monsters. They thought that they would not get anything at all. Zheng-Fu’s promise made them feel very joyful…
Dan-Chun-Gu could not help but shake his head at his two friends. He knew these two well. He knew that they liked to fight over a lot of things, but they agreed with each other tremendously on this matter…
Tong-Kuang: “Should we get back to our trip, young master!?”
“Yeah. Let’s go. But I need to do something first. We are going to go to where I direct you.”
“Do something first!?”
Tong-Kuang suspected what Zheng-Fu was going to do, but he did not ask anything because he felt like it was not his place to ask his young master…
When the group was ready to continue the trip, Zheng-Fu threw the Monster Spirit Crystal into his spatial ring. The group started to move towards the direction that the heraldry of the Xiao Clan was buried, according to what the spirit showed Zheng-Fu…
Everything was put into the carriage. Zheng-Fu came down from the carriage and walked along the path with everyone. Now that the fog subsided, it made it easier for them to continue. They could now see the scenery clearer…
Wu-Xiao: “Where are we heading to, young master!?”
Wu-Xiao asked while bending down so Zheng-Fu could see her cleavage clearly, but he was quick to look away. Wu-Xiao was trying to play with him…
“Ahem!”
“We are going to pick up something. It’s not far from here, but I’d like everyone to watch every step that we take from now on.”
Zheng-Fu said and felt that his face got red from shyness from seeing Wu-Xiao’s private part. Even though his body was eight years old, his real age was more than 20 years old. He thought it was normal that he felt that way…
“Tee-hee!”
Wu-Xiao: “Young master is so cute!”
Yan-Yu: “Cougar!”
Pow!
Wu-Xiao: “Who did you call a ‘Cougar’? What did you just say?”
Wu-Xiao asked while drawing her weapon out of anger for being called a cougar. This kind of thing was considered a sensitive subject for women. Yan-Yu realized that he crossed the line, so he rushed to apologize to her while trying to cover himself away from Wu-Xiao’s weapon…
“Hahaha!”
“Sister! Don’t pay attention to brother Yan-Yu. He did not mean to say it. I know that for women, this thing might be sensitive, but you’re still young. So, you don’t have to care for what he said.”
Zheng-Fu said while making an innocent face…
Yan-Yu: “Th…th…that’s right. I didn’t mean to. You’re still young and beautiful!”
Wu-Xiao: “Tsk! Fine! If you say it again, your private part will be gone!”
She said while intentionally looking at Yan-Yu’s private part with fury. It made him feel scared for himself…
“Tee-hee!”
Yan-Yu turned to Zheng-Fu and gave him a thumbs-up for saving him…
“Everyone, it’s up and ahead now.”
When Zheng-Fu finished his sentence, the group reached a big clear lawn. There was a big and somewhat bottomless hole not far from where Zheng-Fu and the group were…
Tong-Kuang: “Is this the place, young master?”
Ji-Zhung-Gong: “And what are we doing here?”
Everyone then turned to look at Zheng-Fu with confusion. They suspected why Zheng-Fu brought them there…
“Wait for me here guys.”
Zheng-Fu walked towards the big hole. Then he turned to the north of the hole for about eight to nine paces and stopped to dig up…
Kwuh!
Zheng-Fu dug the ground in the area as deep as his elbow then stopped digging. He started to take something out of that hole…
“Got it!” Zheng-Fu smiled and looked at the thing that he had just taken out…
The thing that Zheng-Fu picked up was not too big. It was wrapped neatly in a silk cloth, but it was covered in dirt all over, so it looked sort of dirty. Then he took off the cloth and found a very beautiful engraved wooden box…
Crack!
Zheng-Fu opened the wooden box and saw a clan’s heraldry that had letters on it that said ‘Xiao’…
Tong-Kuang: “What is it, young master?”
Tong-Kuang looked at the heraldry in Zheng-Fu’s hand with suspicion. Everyone also did with the same kind of suspicion…
“This is a heraldry that belongs to the Xiao Clan.”
“A heraldry of the Xiao Clan!?”
All of a sudden, Wu-Xiao shouted out of shock as if she had heard of or knew something about heraldry…
“Do you know this heraldry, sister Wu-Xiao?” Zheng-Fu asked Wu-Xiao with suspicion…
Wu-Xiao: “N…n…no! I don’t. It was just a false reaction. That’s all…”
Wu-Xiao said and smiled dryly while making a strange facial expression. She might be able to fool the group, but not Zheng-Fu. Zheng-Fu knew that it was not normal for someone to yell that loudly when they saw heraldry…
“Alright!”
“Let’s move guys. We don’t have too much time. We need to get to the city as quickly as possible.”
Everyone nodded in registering the remark. The group started to get back to their trip. They encountered many kinds of monsters along the way to the city, but they could deal with the monsters well. They thought that it was better than worse to fight with monsters…
Getting rid of monsters helped them increase their energy level. They also earned more Monster Spirit Crystals. So, it was only gain and gain to encounter monsters. Zheng-Fu got to observe the fighting skills of everyone in the group too…
He intended to do that because he wanted to find their flaws to better their skills. It took a little more than two shichens for them to get out of the forest and reach In-See city…
Yan-Yu: “Yahoo! Finally we arrived in the city. I can’t wait to take a bath. I’m smelling like monsters!”
Wu-Xiao: “Yeah! My body’s so sticky!”
“Then let’s find a place to stay. Could you please take care of these monsters’ corpses, brother Tong-Kuang? I need to go somewhere first and I’ll catch up with you later.”
Zheng-Fu said with a smile. The place he was going to was the auction house as he wanted to ask Xiao-Jiang about the Xiao heraldry and whether they were relating or not.
Tong-Kuang: “Yes, young master! Please be careful!”
Tong-Kuang cupped his fists and bowed to Zheng-Fu. He did not worry about Zheng-Fu’s welfare much because they were now in the city. The city had a strict rule to prevent people from fighting, so Zheng-Fu should be safe…
Dan-Chun-Gu: “I’ll go sell these monsters’ parts and meats, brother Tong-Kuang. Would you mind getting us a place to stay? It looks like handsome Yan-Yu and Wu-Xiao want to clean themselves so badly…”
Tong-Kuang: “Alright, then, I’ll leave the monsters to you!”
When Tong-Kuang finished the sentence, everybody separated their ways. Yan-Yu and Wu-Xiao looked for a place to stay. Dan-Chun-Gu, Fu-Tao-Qi, and Ji-Zhung-Gong headed to the market to sell monsters’ parts. Lang-Guang-Kuang had the duty to go observe the Cave of the Immortals that the group aimed to go to…
Zheng-Fu split from everybody else and headed to the auction house immediately. It did not take long for him to get there…
“Brother security guard!”
Security Guard: “Yes? What’s up, kid? What can we do for you? Are you lost?”
The security guard at the gate of the auction house asked Zheng-Fu a question. He saw that Zheng-Fu was a small kid and might get split from his parents…
“I’m here to see sister Xiao-Jiang, brother.”
Security Guard: “To see Madam Xiao-Jiang!?”
The security guards at the gate had to repeat what Zheng-Fu said because they did not expect to hear that…
“That’s right, brother security guard. Please ask sister Xiao-Jiang to come out to see me. Please tell her that Zheng-Fu is here to see her…”
“Um…”
The security guards wanted to refuse Zheng-Fu’s request, but when they saw his innocent eyes, they could not do so…
Security Guard: “Okay. I’ll tell madam that you want to see her. Just wait here!”
“Thank you very much, brother security guard.”
The security guard went inside the auction house. Not long after that, there was a noise came from inside and a young blossoming woman ran to Zheng-Fu…
“My cute little Zheng-Fu!”
Grab!
The noise that everyone heard came from Xiao-Jiang. When she knew that Zheng-Fu came to see her, she rushed out to see him instantly. She practically hit him with her breasts…
“I…I…I can’t breathe!
Xiao-Jiang: “Oh! I’m sorry. I’m so glad to see you! Tee-hee!”
Whoosh!
“Are you trying to hurt me, pretty sister?” Zheng-Fu said while pretending to get upset. He actually felt good inside…
The security guards who stood by widened their eyes to see Xiao-Jiang did that to Zheng-Fu…
Security Guard: *Why can’t I get that too? The kid is so lucky.*
Xiao-Jiang: “Do you need help or are you missing me!?”
“It’s both sisters,” Zheng-Fu said and smiled while making a playful and innocent face at Xiao-Jiang…
Xiao-Jiang was startled a little to hear Zheng-Fu’s answer. She did not expect that from him…
Xiao-Jiang: “Then let’s talk inside!”
“Yes! But don’t do anything to me, alright?” Zheng-Fu said and let out another playful smile…
“I promise!”
Xiao-Jiang and Zheng-Fu walked back into the auction house. The whole thing confused the security guards. They were jealous of Zheng-Fu…
