Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

At 9:00 p.m. the next day, the sun was shining brightly.

The hustle and bustle of the night ended before the first ray of sunlight in the early morning.

In Jingcheng, the huge streets have returned to their former appearance, and people live and work as usual.

Zhao Xu was not disturbed by the noise at night and slept well. At this moment, he was walking on the streets of Jingcheng with full energy.

It is May and the summer furnace has begun to rage. However, for someone like the Second Rank Junior Grandmaster who has practiced full-body cultivation, his body is no longer affected by the severe cold or heat.

So when other people's foreheads began to sweat, Zhao Xu was still strolling around leisurely.

He gained a deeper understanding of the significance of cultivation.

Advanced cultivation can free people from these worldly sufferings.

As time passed, the sun rose higher and higher, and became hotter and hotter. Wang Zhong, who was following Zhao Xu, could no longer bear it.

"Master Xu, let's hurry up and head to the Jinsha Gang! Gang Leader Jin must be waiting anxiously."

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Zhong and found that he was already sweating profusely. The other people who had no cultivation were almost the same.

Seeing that some people couldn't stand the scorching summer heat, Zhao Xu felt a little embarrassed. He was inconsiderate.

"Yes, the sun has risen so high, we should hurry to the Jinsha Gang."

As soon as Zhao Xu expressed his opinion, everyone was happy.

The scorching hot weather made it impossible to talk, and everyone concentrated on getting on their way, and soon arrived at the Jinsha Gang.

After arriving at the Jinsha Gang, Zhao Xu found out that Jin Meiniang had sent Sha Xing to wait in front of the door for a long time.

Zhao Xu looked at Sha Xing with an apologetic look on his face.

"Guardian Sha, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. How are your injuries?"

Zhao Xu felt touched and apologetic that Sha Xing was still waiting for him here despite being injured.

"I'm fine. Apart from the internal injuries which will take some time to recover, the other external injuries will recover quickly. It's just that..."

Seeing that Sha Xing's right hand had recovered well and he looked relaxed, Zhao Xu felt relieved, thinking that his injury was not serious.

But when I saw that he was hesitant at the end of his words, I felt relieved again.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Zhao Xu's puzzled expression, Sha Xing no longer concealed the truth.

"It's just that you've been late, which has made the gang leader a little angry."

"Oh!" Seeing that it was not a big problem, Zhao Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is Gang Leader Jin now?"

When Sha Xing saw Zhao Xu was looking for the gang leader, he immediately said, "After the gang leader receives the out-of-town gang members who came to pay their respects, he will go to Tianranju to rest."

"But tell me to take you to Tianranju as soon as I see Mr. Zhao."

Hearing that Jin Meiniang wanted to meet at Tianranju, Zhao Xu nodded.

The breeze blows gently, and the blue waves ripple.

When I return to Tianranju Bamboo Sea, the bamboos are still green, but the people are gone.

Jin Meiniang chose to rest here, which made Zhao Xu feel that Sha Huanjin’s death must have been a big blow to her.

After arriving at Tianranju, the others waited in the courtyard, while Zhao Xu went upstairs alone under the guidance of Sha Xing.

In the main hall on the second floor, Zhao Xu met Jin Meiniang.

Jin Meiniang had a veil on her shoulders and looked lazy. It was obvious that Zhao Xu's arrival had forced her to interrupt her sleep.

Seeing Zhao Xu coming in, Jin Meiniang's eyes flashed with joy, but on the surface she looked angry.

"Master Zhao finally has time to care about his own business?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jin Meiniang's sarcastic tone, but since he was in the wrong first and delayed the time, he had to apologize first.

"Boss, I was tempted by the hustle and bustle of Jingcheng and was late. Please forgive me!"

Seeing Zhao Xu admit his mistake proactively and with a sincere attitude, Jin Meiniang's expression improved a lot.

"That's all! Sha Xing, take the people from Wang's Trading Company to the accounting office. The cooperation reached between the two parties needs to be discussed and verified by the people below."

"Also, arrange for food and accommodation. This is not something that can be done in a short time."

After hearing Jin Meiniang's instructions, Sha Xing did not go out immediately, but looked at Zhao Xu.

Of course Zhao Xu knew what he meant and nodded.

"Take them there, and tell Butler Wang that it was my consent."

Seeing that Zhao Xu agreed, Sha Xing nodded, turned and left.

After Sha Xing left, there were only two people left in the room. Zhao Xu became bolder and spoke first.

"Mei Niang, how did you deal with the prisoners yesterday?"

When Jin Meiniang heard Zhao Xu calling her "Meiniang", a slight smile appeared on her face.

"The diehards of the three hall masters have all been dealt with. As for the Six Paths Hall, except for those who escaped, there are no survivors at the scene. Now we only have these Red Guards left and we don't know how to deal with them."

Hearing Jin Meiniang's answer, Zhao Xu nodded.

"Don't worry, Zhu Yiwei. I have my own plans."

When Jin Meiniang heard that Zhao Xu had made arrangements, she didn't say anything more.

After talking about the prisoners, the two were at a loss for topics to talk about for a while.

After Jin Meiniang finished talking about the captives, she kept staring at Zhao Xu with her eyes fixed, the affection in her eyes almost overflowing.

Obviously, after experiencing a life-and-death situation yesterday, her feelings for Zhao Xu increased dramatically.

Zhao Xu is not a fool, and it is impossible for him not to notice the change in Jin Meiniang's attitude towards him.

He knew in his heart that after Sha Huanjin passed away, he replaced him and became Jin Meiniang's most important spiritual support and real arm.

Zhao Xu no longer felt uncomfortable today. After returning to his residence last night, in addition to reviewing the battle, he also thought about his future attitude towards Jin Meiniang.

After some thought, Zhao Xu felt that he was still a little pretentious and couldn't let go.

As a time traveler who is bound to reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future, he decides to use his strong arms and broad mind to provide a peaceful harbor for those unfortunate women.

So facing Jin Meiniang's jealous eyes, Zhao Xu decided to take the initiative. He stood up and walked towards Jin Meiniang.

When Jin Meiniang saw Zhao Xu walking towards her, she was a little panicked at first, but this panic was soon replaced by another kind of desire.

Zhao Xu acted quickly and pulled Jin Meiniang into his arms before she could react.

"Mei Niang, let me take care of you from now on!"

There were no extra words, just brief but powerful ones, which calmed down the struggling Jin Meiniang.

After a while, Zhao Xu suddenly felt wet on his chest. He looked down and found that Jin Meiniang was already in tears.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Jin Meiniang cried and fell asleep in Zhao Xu's arms.

But even when she fell asleep, she still held Zhao Xu's hand tightly.

From this, Zhao Xu knew that Jin Meiniang was extremely insecure, and he felt very sorry for this poor woman.

As time passed, Zhao Xu just kept holding Jin Meiniang.

An hour later.

Jin Meiniang, who had a good dream, gradually woke up from her dream.

Jin Meiniang found herself falling asleep in Zhao Xu's arms. Her face suddenly flushed and she struggled to get up.

Zhao Xu felt the movement in his arms.

"Mei Niang, don't move."

As soon as Zhao Xu spoke, Jin Meiniang stopped struggling and became as docile as a cat.

After a while, Jin Meiniang said quietly, "Mr. Zhao, do you think I am a frivolous woman?"

Hearing Jin Meiniang say this, Zhao Xu pretended to be angry and said, "You still call me Master Zhao. Don't I know what kind of woman Meiniang is? Don't think too much."

When Jin Meiniang heard Zhao Xu say this, her heart felt sweet.

"Xu Lang..."
