Fox Demon Crossing
Chapter 20 A Trip for Two
Don't worry, after all, don't forget that the three giants of our Shenhuoshan Villa are still in office...
After the problem was solved, Jin Renfeng took Dongfang Huaizhu and left quietly that day.
When Dongfang Qinlan found out that Jin Renfeng had taken her sister Dongfang Huaizhu out without her, she immediately burst into tears. What made her even more desperate was that Jin Renfeng had specially invited several teachers to teach her. This made Dongfang Qinlan feel that life was hopeless, so she tried to escape from Shenhuoshan Villa many times, but every time she didn't get far, she was caught by Xiao Yan and his men.
The night is quiet and peaceful.
"Second Miss, it's time to rest now. Where are you going?"
Under the cover of night, Dongfang Qinlan, carrying a small bag, decided to go find her sister under the cover of night. As soon as she climbed out of the window, she heard a question from above her head.
Dongfang Qinlan, who was feeling guilty, was startled. When she looked up, she saw a figure sitting on the roof, quietly.
If he hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed his presence.
Under Xiao Yan's close surveillance, Dongfang Qinlan's escape plan failed again. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Yan, remember this. I will remember you!"
Compared to Dongfang Qinlan's dull life, Jin Renfeng and Dongfang Huaizhu's journey together seemed extremely comfortable and cozy.
They did not use flying swords to travel, but instead bought a small boat. They were not in a hurry to travel anyway, so they just sailed leisurely.
Sitting at the bow of the boat, Jin Renfeng and Dongfang Huaizhu gazed at the sky without even a cloud in it. The sunlight sprinkled on the water, creating golden ripples.
It is spring, everything is full of vitality, and various trees can be seen everywhere on the shore.
A light breeze blew by, the leaves fell one after another, and a large number of petals finally fell on the water.
At this moment, it feels as if you have accidentally entered a fairyland.
"It's really infuriating. You two can just enjoy your own world, why do you want me to row the boat for you?" A little girl with red hair, two playful buns, and a red dress stood by the edge of the boat, controlling the direction of the boat with a bamboo pole in her hand, muttering angrily, "You have to pay more, you have to pay more!"
At the bow, Jin Renfeng took a gulp of wine and replied casually, "There's nothing we can do. We are short of a boatman now. It's not appropriate to let someone else be the boatman. I brought Huaizhu out to spend time alone. It feels weird to have more people on the boat. You are not a human, and there is nothing else to do. What's more, Hulushan has not started recruiting apprentices yet, so your current job cannot be considered as starting."
"Wouldn't it be even more strange for you to bring a monster like me with you?"
Jin Renfeng asked back: "Is it strange?"
"If someone finds out your identity, I will say you are my demon servant. What can they do to me?"
"I'm so powerful, it shouldn't be too much to take a little demon as my subordinate..."
Zhuque protested: "This is clearly overtime, you should be paid more!"
"money?"
Jin Renfeng glanced at her and replied, "How could I have a luxury like money? I am more destitute than you can imagine."
His Mirror of the Heavens was a big spender, and each time he traveled through time, he needed one hundred thousand taels of silver. After deducting costs and employee salaries, all his assets had to be handed over to the Yiqi Dao League for taxes, and the Shenhuoshan Villa also had to take a share. Add to that various other expenses, and at the end, he had almost no money left after he got it.
"I don't have any money to give you, but if you have any questions about cultivation, I can answer them for free during this trip."
Suzaku was stunned.
She finally realized that Jin Renfeng valued money more than his life, and it was extremely difficult to get money out of his pocket.
I really don’t understand, with such a high level of cultivation, why would he care so much about money?
"Brother Jin, the osmanthus wine is almost gone." Dongfang Huaizhu looked at the five or six empty wine jars. If she had known that Jin Renfeng was such a big drinker, she should have prepared more. She spread out a map and analyzed: "We are roughly here now. There is a small town ahead. At this speed, we should be able to arrive before noon, so we can restock our supplies there."
"You finished it so quickly?" A look of surprise flashed across Jin Renfeng's face. It had only been one night, and she didn't expect that she had drunk so much without realizing it.
With his cultivation level, it is difficult for him to get drunk even if he wants to, and he won't feel drunk even if he drinks a lot.
The journey was smooth.
They arrived at the town safely before noon.
The town is famous for its fishing industry, which can be seen from the obvious increase in the number of passing ships.
They moored the boat at the pier, and then the three people and the monster walked into the town.
After shopping, they came to the largest restaurant in town.
Dongfang Huaizhu asked: "Boss, how much osmanthus wine do you have left?"
"Sir, there are only less than 300 jars of the best osmanthus wine left."
“I’m going to buy them all.”
As she spoke, she took out a green purse with lace embroidered on it, and a pile of gold ingots poured out of the purse.
Jin Renfeng looked at the pile of gold ingots and couldn't help swallowing secretly.
One gold ingot is worth fifty taels of silver.
These gold ingots, converted into silver, are only about 3,000 taels. If it were him, well, it seems that this amount of money is not enough...
The restaurant owner was obviously shocked by Dongfang Huaizhu's generosity, but he quickly recovered and realized that this was a big deal. He immediately greeted them with a smile on his face: "Three distinguished guests, please move and wait for a moment."
"Waiter, hurry up and serve the best tea!"
"Here I am, sir!"
"Three guests, who would like to follow us to count the quantity of goods? And do you need our restaurant to send someone to deliver them to the designated location?"
Dongfang Huaizhu looked at Jin Renfeng, and Jin Renfeng turned to Zhuque beside him.
Zhuque grabbed Jin Renfeng's Qiankun bag with a helpless look on his face and followed the clerk to the wine cellar.
Jin Renfeng and Dongfang Huaizhu sat by the window, sipping tea while waiting.
Dongfang Huaizhu put all the extra gold ingots back into his wallet. When he saw Jin Renfeng looking at them eagerly, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Jin, I can't give these to you. We need them on the road."
Jin Renfeng immediately responded seriously: "Well... Huaizhu, you may have misunderstood. I was just looking at your money bag to see if there is anything that can be improved."
Indeed, the purse in Dongfang Huaizhu's hand was actually a storage bag specially made by Jin Renfeng, although the principle behind it was not as complicated and profound as the Qiankun bag.
In fact, it is a rune formation that can reduce the size of objects, and can shrink things by up to five times.
However, the disadvantage is that it cannot shrink living things. The Golden Phoenix is designed to imitate the storage bag in the original book. I remember that the storage bag in the original book can not only shrink inanimate objects, but can even shrink living things and store them in it.
But he didn't want to delve into the problem any further. It was a pity that this storage bag was not easy to make, otherwise it would definitely be a good way to make money.
While they were waiting.
"Boss, bring me the best osmanthus wine. I want ten jars!" A middle-aged Taoist priest in a white robe walked into the store with a woman.
Dongfang Huaizhu was stunned for a moment, then shouted in surprise: "Dad, Mom?!"
"Huaizhu? And Xiaofeng?!"
The people who came in were Dongfang Gu Yue and his wife.
After a cordial conversation, it turned out that Dongfang Gu Yue had left the Taoist Alliance on the same day after handing over the power of the Taoist Alliance to the three elders. However, he did not rush to take his wife Dongfang Bai back to Shenhuoshan Villa. Instead, he chose to travel around the world and visit places they had never been to together.
According to Dongfang Bai, they are already an old couple, and they didn't have many opportunities to travel together in the past. When they were young, Dongfang Guyue was busy with career development; after having the Dongfang Huaizhu sisters, Shenhuoshan Villa was gradually built, and Dongfang Guyue worked day and night for the development of the villa. In addition, Dongfang Bai had health problems, and later he became the leader of the Taoist Alliance. As a result, the couple had fewer opportunities to travel together.
Jin Renfeng was rescued by them when she was a child. Since the master's wife knew that she did not have much time left, she asked her master Dongfang Guyue to take her around to see the scenery she had never seen before and enjoy their time together. This led to the encounter with Jin Renfeng at the beginning of the story.
According to Jin Renfeng's speculation, in the original work, Jin Renfeng at that time was just a child who was unable to protect himself. He probably did not have the courage to sacrifice his life to avenge his parents like him, so he did not meet Dongfang Guyue and his wife.
At that time, he was just emotionally turbulent from his past and present lives, and he felt that there was an opportunity and wanted to attack. But if he calmed down and knew that he could not deal with the monster, he might choose to leave and wait until he learned enough skills before seeking revenge on the monster.
Jin Renfeng has always believed that a person's character is not determined by nature, but is more shaped by the acquired environment and the influence of the people around him.
According to the development of the original work, Jin Renfeng will go through ups and downs in the martial arts world and eventually survive, and in the process his ruthless and insidious side is developed.
Of course, the behavior of Jin Renfeng in the original book is so difficult to agree with that the anger cannot be described as "bad", because "bad" is not enough to describe his badness. As the old saying goes: good people do not live long, but evil people leave a thousand years.
From ancient times to the present, people generally believe that destiny is determined by heaven.
But after becoming Yangshen, Jin Renfeng had a new understanding of this. He believed that fate was indeed determined by heaven, but fate was not single, but was composed of countless intertwined fate lines. Whenever we made a choice at the crossroads of life, different choices would lead us to completely different destiny trajectories.
From small things like what to eat and wear today to major decisions, fate is always there, we just can't see it...
"Fairy Wood Romance"
Soon, Suzaku came back with the Qiankun bag in his hand and a sad look on his face.
Dongfang Gu Yue stared at Zhuque with sharp eyes, and a powerful aura naturally emanated from his body.
"Hey, what do you want to do?!"
Zhuque stared at Dongfang Guyue warily. His spiritual sense suddenly increased and he quietly moved behind Jin Renfeng. He would be lying if he said he was not nervous. He could tell at a glance that this strong aura was that of a top human master.
Another monster...
Dongfang Guyue frowned, looking slightly unhappy, and glanced at Jin Renfeng, but in the end, he said nothing. The disciple had grown up, and was no longer the boy who depended on him for everything.
"Don't scare the kids."
Dongfang Bai glared at him, then turned around and carefully observed the little Suzaku girl behind Jin Renfeng.
"This little girl is so cute. She looks about the same age as Qin Lan. Don't be afraid, little girl."
"Kid, what's your name?"
"My name is Suzaku."
It is obvious that Dongfang Bai likes Suzaku very much.
After all, this is someone else's territory, and it's not convenient for everyone to stay here for long.
When I went out, it was noon.
Master's wife Dongfang Bai clapped her hands and suggested going to the largest restaurant in town for dinner.
So they came to the Shenhuo Restaurant. Not only was the food delicious, but the key was that they didn't have to pay.
Why should I pay for my own restaurant?
