The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 922 - 505: Be My Tribute (Part 2)
He forcefully swung it, but couldn’t shake it off: "Afraid, yet not going back first?" This kind of silly girl, if something happens to him, she stands here like a blooming flower. It’s better for her to go seek help instead. Must he marry such a foolish wife? Would the children born be idiots too?
"I want to wait and leave with you." She pointed to the small tree beside her, "There’s a weird tree here that moves!" Luckily there’s a companion; otherwise, standing alone in such a vast and silent place feels really scary.
Ning Xiaoxian laughed: "This is the Lin Wei I assigned. I originally thought you all planned to go back, so it can escort you safely to the VIP quarters."
Only then did the two children eagerly examine, and indeed the small tree’s trunk magically showed human-like facial features, though the eyes resembled dead fish, not moving much. The features’ lines were faint; you wouldn’t notice unless you looked closely.
Turns out when she turned and left then, it was because arrangements were already made for them to be led back. Huangfuming thought, at that time, the Cannibal Flower didn’t ambush him, probably because it was suppressed by her. Her thoughts are so meticulous, and she’s truly nice to others.
Driven by female intuition, Jin Manyan was really displeased with this woman before her. She’s quite pretty; although Jin Manyan looks better, she still has a few years before she matures into a great beauty. Especially this woman has slender waist and long legs, full bosom, quite mature womanly charm, while Jin Manyan’s petite frame cannot compete now. Ah ah, Brother Huangfu doesn’t even know where he followed her to late at night.
Thinking this, she immediately clung tighter to Huangfuming’s arm, glaring defensively with her almond eyes.
How sharp Ning Xiaoxian is; she naturally picked up on her hostility, feeling both amused and exasperated. Thinking the Granny would not stoop to fighting over a brat with a snot-nosed child? She shook her head at the two kids and said: "It’s late; hurry back, your elders should be worried. Also, don’t come here for your dates ever again. Though oleander is pretty, it’s extremely poisonous." With that, she nodded at Lin Wei, uttered a few strange syllables, and left without hesitation. After walking seven or eight meters, she heard Jin Manyan ask the little boy: "Where exactly did she take you?!
As Ning Xiaoxian departed, Huangfuming suddenly felt the air around him cool down immediately, feeling somewhat reluctant yet a bit stifled: "Just now we were chatting happily, she’s now turned and left without a hint of nostalgia!"
But with Jin Family’s sticky sugar beside him, he knew better than to try keeping her. The little girl on his left side clung closer, soft and warm, but Huangfuming secretly felt annoyed: "If it weren’t for this Jin Manyan, I could pretend to be lost and have her accompany me a little longer to the VIP room!"
The Lin Wei beside them emitted deep sounds, like a distant echo of a bell, then its roots rose off the ground, surprisingly stepping forward like a human. Huangfuming understood this was Lin Wei following Ning Xiaoxian’s orders to escort them back, so he hastened to keep up.

The first ray of morning sunlight streamed in through the window as Ning Xiaoxian opened her eyes. She suddenly didn’t know what she should do. Previously, her tasks were singular: find the True Form of Ba Snake or the Nanming Lihuo Sword. But now, neither of these tasks is completed, and they’re not likely to be achieved in the short term, leaving her feeling a bit at a loss.
She lay in bed, daydreaming for nearly an hour, only lazily getting up under Changtian’s urging, slipping on clogs to twist her hair in the mirror. When reaching for the wooden comb, she touched several account books left on the table.
Mmm, there are still several Huge Rats not dealt with. Only then did she recall, yesterday He Sect Leader seemed to have said that now the western trade route was open, visitors to the Hidden Stream were numerous, and the folks from the Foreign Affairs Hall and Immortal Plant Garden were indeed busy running in circles.
As for combat power, there are plenty of burly demons in the Hidden Stream. But when it comes to intricate planning and business dealings, that’s indeed quite troublesome. Truly, without foresight, there are bound worries on the doorstep. Fortunately, she thought of today’s issue before going to the Great Snow Mountain, so Ning Yu stationed at Pian State Bank had received her message over four months ago, starting to seek suitable demons for training in currency exchange, account handling, and transaction pricing. The plan was for about twenty people.
However, the time is still too tight, and these demons had to travel from Pian State to Hidden Stream, which takes over half a year on the road, so Ning Xiaoxian thought of only one solution: ask Miluo for demons. No, request demons. Initially, she handed Young Master Qingji over to Miluo willingly, and although people later ran off, the gesture was sent, Miluo must return the favor. Fengtian Prefecture has numerous industries, diverse commercial talents available, and the bustling Chiming City is incredibly close to the Bashe Forest, and it benefits greatly from the southwest trade’s opening; both emotionally and rationally, he would not refuse.
Furthermore, he wouldn’t want to refuse. So roughly half a day after she dispatched the messenger, Chiming City sent about thirty skilled individuals, all meeting her requirements: some skilled in accounting, some adept in handling people, some expert in bargaining and pricing, and others masters in asset valuation. Among demons, there are those from Powerful Species, yet there are also those who aren’t skilled in exerting strength or even using Divine Skills. God is compassionate towards all living beings; among these weaker demon species, the intelligent ones or geniuses often emerge. As dependents of Powerful Species, they possess unique talents, and can equally thrive (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit qidian.com to cast your recommendation votes.
