"Executive member, the eldest lady of the Shen family is here again, and it's still a matter of proposing marriage... Shopkeeper Shuidie doesn't dare to offend me, so it's hard to shirk the blame. What do you think, ex-member?"
The next day!
Zhao Chu had collected and practiced all night, and was already exhausted. He was now enjoying preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
He took a bite of the meatloaf, and the juice from the stewed soup dripped down the corner of his mouth. Zhao Chu wiped it clean carefully, frowning slightly.
When you are in the market, there are always some things that cannot be avoided.
In the past year, although the cultivation world in the northern realm has been a backwater, thanks to Zhao Chu's need to transport the Star Spot Stone and the Nascent Soul Emperors of various countries, they have supported the people in doing business at all costs, and the business world has been booming.
The Tianci Sect was just for the convenience of disguising the Star Spot Stone, but some business families in the northern region used this stock wind to skyrocket to 90,000 miles.
In particular, some big businessmen can make a fortune out of nothing, and even Jin Dan can be hired as a bodyguard.
Among them there are several big clans, the richest.
With the help of Zhao Chu in Wuhui City, they are the number one business family that does their best. Shui Die has long been famous and is a strong woman respected by thousands of people.
Wherever there are people, there are fights and rivers and lakes.
The other merchant families were of course unconvinced.
Overt and covert struggles also occurred one after another in the commercial sea in the northern realm.
Among them, the Shen family is Shui Die's strong enemy.
The Shen family was once a family of the Shenwei Imperial Court. When the Northern Territory was in chaos, they chose to lie dormant and even secretly sought refuge with the Tianci Sect, thus retaining a lot of strength.
The head of the Shen family, Shen Jiuhai, is extremely ambitious and has wanted to annex the Water Butterfly Chamber of Commerce more than once.
The Shen family inquired and found out that although Shui Die was extremely talented in business, there was a mysterious Zhao Yuanwai behind her. Although he had no knowledge or skills, he could control Shui Die.
What's rare is that this member of the family, Zhao, is not yet married.
In this way, Shen Jiuhai's most beloved daughter, Shen Qingchan, planned to marry Zhao Chu first, and then gradually eat into the power of the Water Butterfly Chamber of Commerce.
Shen Qingchan originally refused the marriage, but he sent someone to inquire and found out that member Zhao was really unlearned and incompetent except that he could eat like a pig.
In Shen Qingchan's mind, Zhao Yuanwai was a slut who was fatter than a pig.
But under the coercion and inducement of her father, Shen Qingchan met Zhao Yuanwai, and she fell in love with him at first sight.
She had seen the statue of the Young Master of the Tianci Sect from a distance, and she admired the Young Master of the Tianci Sect the most in her life. She did not expect that Zhao Yuanwai looked very similar to Zhao Chu.
Regardless of whether he has taken beauty-repairing elixirs or not, Shen Qingchan looks comfortable.
She agreed to marry Yuan Wai Zhao. Shen Qingchan originally thought that with her appearance, Yuan Wai Zhao would agree with fear and even be grateful.
pity!
The first time I met Yuan Zhao, this uneducated bastard actually rejected him.
The eyes that should have been dug out actually just glanced at him lightly.
Shen Qingchan couldn't let go of that look for a long time.
It's like looking at a potato, a tomato, or a stubborn stone.
She was not convinced.
Today is the third time Shen Qingchan comes to see Zhao Yuanwai.
"Miss Shen, this... member Zhao, we can't stop him..."
Zhao Chu just scooped up a spoonful of porridge and frowned.
Golden elixir realm.
A total of ten Jindan realm guards.
This Shen Qingchan's strength is mediocre. Although he has built a foundation, his cultivation is purely based on pills and is vulnerable to a single blow.
And she is so wealthy that she even hired ten monks in the Golden Core realm as bodyguards, and even one in the middle of the Golden Core realm, which shows the strength of the Shen family.
Zhao Chu sighed.
He had to defend himself against the surveillance of the monstrous evil dragon from the sky and drive away mosquito bites from the ground. He was simply exhausted.
"Isn't this dignified member Zhao? Why? Do you look down on me? Or you are too inferior to see me!"
Shen Qingchan sat across from Zhao Chu with a carefree look, glanced at the latter provocatively, and then glanced at him contemptuously.
You are just a piece of trash at the Spiritual Pulse Realm, and even the bodyguards are only at the Golden Core Realm. Why do you look down on me?
"Miss Zhao, I have no plans to get married for the time being. I'm sorry."
Zhao Chu shook his head and drank his porridge.
"Executive member Zhao, tell me why you are single, and I will not bother you again."
Shen Qingchan's face was full of arrogance. Although she had good looks, her cheekbones were a bit high, making her look a bit mean.
"Um... I don't like women, but I like men. Is that okay?"
Zhao Chu thought for a while.
In order to be clean in the future, he has not hesitated to shame himself.
"No!"
"Executive member Zhao, I have investigated you and found that you are not as good as Long Yang, and there is no man beside you."
"You... like a brothel girl!"
"Shuidie was once a prostitute from the Shenwei Imperial City, who was sold out."
"If you don't strive for progress, one day you will die on this incompetent woman!"
Shen Qingchan smiled sinisterly.
There were two poisonous snakes scurrying in her pupils, and her smile was chilling.
The words "everyone can do his best" are particularly sharp.
Stunned!
Zhao Chu was still drinking porridge with gusto and didn't bother to pay attention to the flies in front of him.
But Shen Qingchan's words went too far.
Click!
At this moment, there was a loud sound of porcelain falling to the ground outside the house.
A girl with a tired look on her brows and trembling palms.
Shuidie originally brought some porridge to Zhao Chu, but she knew that Zhao Chu didn't have enough to eat.
But as soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a few words, especially the words "everyone can do anything". It was like a red-hot dagger stabbing into the heart.
Shuidie was once worthless, and no one cared about her reputation.
But as the business of the Shuidie Chamber of Commerce grows, the reputation of Wuhui City becomes stronger and stronger, and the reputation of Shuidie spreads further and further.
When a person's reputation is too great, some past events will be magnified without limit and people will talk about them.
Water Butterfly was once a matter for a promiscuous woman, but it will eventually be revealed to the world.
"Shen Qingchan, fuck your mother and get out of Wuhui City!"
At this time, Wang Qianpo rushed out from behind Shui Die and was about to chase Shen Qingchan away.
pity!
Behind Shen Qingchan there are ten golden elixir masters. Wang Qian has practiced hard. Although he has broken through the golden elixir now, he is the weakest one and is not an opponent for the guards of the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce.
After a few rounds, Wang Qianpo was already injured.
"Brother Wang, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Shui Die sadly wiped her tears, stepped forward a little weakly and anxiously and said.
Bang!
Zhao Chu still kept holding the spoon, but the spoon in his palm was crushed into powder.
"Huh?"
"Executive member Zhao, do you feel pity for the beauty?"
"Do you want to hear how Miss Shuidie used to receive customers in Yihongyuan? Do you want to know how many customers she received in a day?"
Shen Qingchan was like a lady, gently picking up the tea cup and taking a weak sip of tea.
"Stop talking, stop talking, get out!"
Wang Qianpo was beaten to the point of retreating, but he could do nothing but roar in anger.
The entire Buhui Inn was filled with smoke and smoke.
"Miss Shen Qingchan, some people may have had a disgraceful past, but her heart is purer than crystal. And some people, although they grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and may know some music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are just beasts in clothes.
That’s all.”
"A vicious woman like you really will not end well!"
Zhao Chu put down the porcelain fragments in his palm and said calmly.
Due to the surveillance of the Natural Selection Realm, he could only swallow his anger when encountering these bad things.
"Ha ha!"
"Member Zhao, what you said is just deceiving yourself and others."
"The good days of the Water Butterfly Chamber of Commerce are coming to an end soon. When the Shen family completely devours the Water Butterfly Chamber of Commerce, you will understand who is the real beast."
"I have already investigated and found out clearly that your Shuidie Chamber of Commerce is completely helpless."
"But my Shen family has a network of connections that can be traced back to Emperor Li Jiuchuan. What about you? Your Shuidie Chamber of Commerce, a woman who is out to sell, why should you fight with my Shen family?"
Shen Qingchan looked at Zhao Chu contemptuously.
"At least for now, Wuhui City still belongs to the Water Butterfly Chamber of Commerce. If you don't leave, I will inform the city lord that you have committed a crime."
The cold light in Zhao Chu's eyes flashed away.
"Hmph, Member Zhao, listen, the Water Butterfly Chamber of Commerce will not survive for more than a month."
"Today's Water Butterfly Chamber of Commerce, just like the Shenwei Imperial Court in the past, will fall apart sooner or later. We will wait and see!"
Shen Qingchan once again looked at Shui Die with contempt, led ten golden elixir guards, and walked away.
Wang Qianpo was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He quickly ran out and wiped the tears from Shui Die's face.
"I'm useless!"
Wang Qian's face was full of guilt.
"Brother Wang, you must blame yourself. I don't blame you. It's useless to blame me. You can't even hire a strong person with golden elixir for money."
Shui Die reluctantly showed a wry smile.
Now that the major chambers of commerce have money, they will compete with each other in terms of strength.
The Shen family has a terrifying network of connections. It is said that one of Shen Jiuhai's concubines is a distant relative of Emperor Li Jiuchuan, so many golden elixirs have given the Shen family face.
The Water Butterfly Chamber of Commerce does not have that kind of relationship network.
certainly!
From the beginning to the end, Shui Die never mentioned anything about Tianci Sect in front of Zhao Chu.
She is measured.
"Hold on for a while!"
"Shuidie, the pure will be purified themselves. Everyone has a disgraceful past. What you need is to seize the present and look to the future."
"It's better to be happy than to be hated by thousands of people. At least you have a man who loves you deeply, but Shen Qingchan doesn't."
"Cherish the people in front of you."
Zhao Chu patted Shen Qingchan's thin shoulder, then shook his head and left.
Qing Tianyi and Nie Chenxi returned to the Holy Land this month. Li Jiuchuan and the others took the time to hunt for treasure in the northern realm. Zhao Chu could not contact Li Jiuchuan and the others at the moment, so the Shen family could only continue to be arrogant.
Besides, he didn't dare to be careless. If the Holy Land caught him with clues, he would lose more than he gained.
…
Demon realm!
West Demon District.
There are more than a dozen chickens stewed in Yuan Langtian's pot, and the aroma spreads far and wide.
The blue crane shivered in the distance.
Ever since Yuan Langtian caught it back, he has been stewing mountain birds. They are all feathered animals, and they seem to be specially given to it.
Qinghe's life is miserable.
"It seems that the successor I chose is really a talent, and he actually unified the Northern Territory."
"It's a pity that the speed of his unification was too fast, which attracted the favor of heaven and gave him a great opportunity that he could not handle."
"Misfortune and fortune depend on each other. It turns out that those who invaded the northern realm were Linlu Holy Land and Jichi Holy Land."
"The god Yu Baiwan is about to wake up. Zhao Chu and the others don't know whether they are alive or dead. Why is the fate of the northern realm so bumpy?"
Yuan Langtian pulled off a chicken leg and took a bite.
"What are you looking at, Fatty Chicken? Eat more. When Yu Baiwan wakes up, I'll make a pot of soup with you."
Yuan Langtian said calmly.
Gugu, Gugu!
The blue crane wants to cry but has no tears.
"A useless bird, a useless bird that ran away from battle deserves to be stewed!"
Yuan Langtian said again.
Qinghe was even more unjust.
It was Zhao Chu who asked me to run away. Didn't I rescue both his wives?
