Chaos Spirit Field

Normally, humans are not allowed to enter the Demon King City. Only on the trading day once every three years will people from the Chamber of Commerce be allowed to come and trade.

The Merchant Alliance is a vast commercial organization with far-reaching and widespread influence. Qian Dafu, its leader, is always present when conducting transactions with the demon race, as the stakes are astronomical and cannot be taken lightly. The fact that high-grade spirit stones, considered a rare treasure in the human world, are used by Master Gui to craft tables, chairs, and benches demonstrates the immense wealth of the demon race.

The Fiery Demon King quickly devoured the Wuliangye liquor he had exchanged with Zhao Shanhe, and his strength improved significantly. Upon learning that the Merchant Alliance had arrived in Demon King City, he immediately arrived with a batch of precious elixirs, intending to trade them for fine wine. He specifically sought out the largest shop and sampled numerous wines, but he couldn't quite find the flavor he remembered. Seeing this, the shop owner gradually lost patience and asked, "Sir Demon King, you've tried all the fine wines on display. Which one would you like to buy?"

The Fiery Demon King responded, "This demon king wants the kind of wine that burns like a flame upon drinking."

The shop owner replied with a hint of confusion: "You mean Liehuoshao? Didn't you drink that just now?"

The Fiery Demon King pointed at a jar of wine and said, "I think you're talking about that one. Although it's a little stronger than the other wines, the difference is huge compared to the fine wines I've tasted before."

The owner of the liquor store asked unconvincedly, "Sir Demon King, as far as I know, Fiery Flame is the strongest liquor on the continent. I wonder what the name of this liquor you're talking about is?"

"This demon king forgot to ask at the time. Your leader's son-in-law, Zhao Shanhe, sold it to me."

The Fire Demon King's words made the liquor store owner even more confused. He asked, "Sir Demon King, I am Lü Buwei, the son-in-law of the Merchant Alliance leader. I wonder which leader you are talking about?"

"Of course it's the leader of the Chamber of Commerce. Only someone as dignified as Young Master Zhao is worthy of being the son-in-law of the leader of the Chamber of Commerce. You look like this, and you're not worthy. Are you trying to trick my baby?"

"My Lord Demon King, I can invite the leader of the Merchant Alliance to come over and confront him face to face to determine who is real and who is fake."

"Young Master Zhao couldn't possibly be deceiving this Demon King. He lives in Xuanwu Residence, the cave abode of the Demon King Xuanwu. You, the shopkeeper, are so dishonest. This Demon King will buy wine somewhere else."

Lu Buwei looked at the back of the Fire Demon King as he left. He didn't feel that he was lying. Could it be that someone was defrauding people by using his father-in-law's name? He asked his clerk to watch over the shop while he went to report it.

When Qian Dafu saw his son-in-law coming, he asked, "Buwei, what happened?"

Lu Buwei replied, "Master Alliance Leader, a Fiery Demon King came to our shop to buy some wine. He said your son-in-law, Zhao Shanhe, sold him a wine far superior to Liehuoshao. I think this is a bit suspicious. Could someone be using your name to defraud us?"

Qian Dafu kept repeating Zhao Shanhe's name, feeling it was familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had heard it before. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he turned to the person behind him and said, "Buwei, go find out the whereabouts of the Fiery Demon King. Tell me immediately if you have any information."

Meanwhile, the Fiery Demon King searched the various liquor stores in the Merchant Alliance for the fine wine Zhao Shanhe had once sold him. However, after a painstaking search, he still found nothing. In desperation, he gave up and prepared to leave. Just then, a chubby, middle-aged man blocked his path. A surge of rage surged within the Fiery Demon King, and he was about to unleash a curse, but when he sensed the approaching presence, he immediately became respectful. He bowed his head and said, "I wonder what you want to hear that has stopped me? Please let me know."

Qian Dafu smiled faintly and introduced himself, "Don't be nervous, my friend. I'm Qian Dafu, leader of the Merchant Alliance. I heard you bought some strong liquor from my son-in-law, Zhao Shanhe. Could you tell me more about that?"

Upon hearing this, the Fiery Demon King shuddered and tremblingly recounted the entire transaction with Zhao Shanhe. Finally, he even took out a large pile of precious elixirs, saying they were compensation to Zhao Shanhe, hoping Qian Dafu would forgive his previous careless act.

After Qian Dafu put the elixir into his pocket, he casually threw out a jade bottle and said, "I will give you this bottle of Fiery Burning."

"Thank you for the reward, senior." The Fire Demon King hurriedly took the fire and left in a hurry as if escaping from a tiger's mouth.

Lü Buwei, standing nearby, could no longer suppress his inner doubts and asked, "Father-in-law, do you know what kind of wine Zhao Shanhe is selling? He actually traded a mere fifty kilograms for a Strange Fire. Could he really be my third sister's husband?"

Qian Dafu smiled faintly and replied, "The liquor brewed by Zhao Shanhe is called Wuliangye. It's carefully brewed from precious spiritual ingredients such as pearl rice, spiritual grain, black corn, yellow spiritual rice, and white crystal rice. This liquor is clear and transparent, with a mellow and strong taste. I once tasted it at Li Changsheng's place, and it was indeed quite delicious. I think this kid must have run into some trouble, so he's using my name to deceive people."

"Father-in-law, doesn't he fear your blame at all?"

Qian Dafu laughed and said, "Zhao Shanhe is a very shameless guy, and he loves to worship his godfather. He is a good material for doing business. Duoduo seems to have a good impression of him. Maybe he can really become my son-in-law in the future! I have to go talk to Lao Gui." After that, he turned and left.

Lü Buwei watched Qian Duoduo's retreating figure with mixed emotions. He felt jealous of Zhao Shanhe, a man he had never met. How could a country boy earn such praise from his father-in-law and win the heart of the beautiful Qian Duoduo?

Zhao Shanhe didn't know that he was hated for no reason. His original plan worked. He passed the message on through the mouth of the Fire Demon King. Now it depends on whether Qian Dafu's face is big enough.

When Master Gui saw Qian Dafu walking towards him with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. This old man's smile must mean something bad, so he asked, "Brother Qian, you came here, is there something wrong with the transaction?"

Qian Dafu replied with a grin, "Brother Turtle, everything is going well at the trade fair. If my third son-in-law, Zhao Shanhe, has offended you in any way, please spare him for my sake."
