Chapter 97: The Amazing Wuding City
Wuding City appeared extremely grand, with the buildings packed tightly together of all styles and specifications. The airspace overhead was fully utilized as well, with houses built on bird nests, caves turned into dwellings, bridge arches transformed into homes, and so on. Wherever there was space, several houses could be squeezed out. The arrangement of space here was arranged with exquisite thoroughness.
It was obvious that the house prices in this broken city must be extremely high.
Not only were the houses strangely shaped, but the people were also of various appearances.
Some had green faces and hairy wolf ears, others simply swung a fiery red large tail.
Others had strange patterns on their faces, scales, an extra eye sprouting on their forehead, two eyes, three eyes, or a small horn growing on their head.
Qing Jing and Qing Zhu had both come to Wuding City for the first time and felt their eyes were insufficient.
Everyone found it strange, bizarre or not. At least it proved that Wuding City was indeed a city where multiple ethnic groups coexisted.
After Qing Jing and the others bid farewell to the Chai family with Chai Ning’s reluctant gaze, Ning Qi planned to take Qing Jing and his three siblings to the Ancient Sage Sect’s residence here. Qing Jing was unwilling; he planned to take his younger siblings to stay in an inn or directly purchase a house in Wuding City.
He told Ning Qi this intention. “We plan to stay in an inn or directly purchase a house.”
Ning Qi was tongue-tied.
“Big brother, Brother Qing Jing. Now is the period when the Profound Heaven Tower is about to open. Look at the crowds on the street who are almost trampling the pavement. Where are the empty rooms in the inn not to be booked? They must all be full.
As for the houses in Wuding City, cough, it’s said the prices are truly outrageous. Even a small courtyard with one entry and exit requires at least one hundred thousand purple gold coins.”
Upon hearing this price, Qing Jing frowned. How could there be such an absurdly high house price?
“Or we can first look around. If we really can’t find a place to live, then go to your side.” Qing Jing said, “Mainly I don’t want to cause trouble for the Ancient Sage Sect.”
Ning Qi frowned. “Do we need to be so clear about it? Or does Qing Jing also look down on our Ancient Sage Sect, look down on me?”
“It’s not that matter. You need to know that no matter whether I am willing or not, now that I appear in Wuding City, I represent the Lord of Longevity. Before knowing the Lord of Longevity’s attitude, I am not suitable to be too close to the Ancient Sage Sect.
You are indifferent; you don’t represent the Ancient Sage Sect.”
Qing Jing spoke in a light tone.
Ning Qi was so angry he bared his teeth.
“You are just the direct disciple of the Lord, who isn’t?”
Ning Qi was indignant.
“You are the direct disciple of the Lord, but can your Lord represent the Ancient Sage Sect? Can you? Besides, your Lord’s direct disciples are many. You are just one of them.” Qing Jing said in a cool tone. “Moreover, how many Dao Children does your Ancient Sage Sect have? I am the only human direct disciple of our Lord. Things are valuable because they are rare. More of them are not valuable.” Qing Jing even disdainfully swept Ning Qi with his eyes.
Ning Qi was so angry he wanted to bite his teeth.
“Truly, my friendship is not going well, how did I end up with such a damaging friend?”
“Not convinced? Little Zhu’er, don’t help Ning Qi incubate that little turtle egg.” Qing Jing immediately threatened.
“Oh.” Qing Zhu immediately nodded in agreement.
“Aiya, don’t. Won’t listening to you work?” Ning Qi immediately changed his arrogant, sassy, resentful face to a dog-like flattering face. Whether he could incubate the little turtle on his hand depended entirely on Qing Zhu.
Relying on himself alone, heaven knew what spiritual materials were needed, how many kinds of spiritual materials to promote the incubation of the little turtle egg.
So everyone first went to a restaurant for a meal. The first great difficulty in life must first be solved.
Mainly because Qing Zhu was hungry.
After eating, Ning Qi and Qing Jing went out to look for inns and houses.
Qing Xuan stayed behind to feed the birds, Qing Zhu leaned against the second-floor window looking down, staring at the street in a daze.
The afternoon streets in summer were hot like steaming baskets. However, this could not stop the bustling crowds.
At this moment, I don’t know from where a young dandy with two long black furry ears popped out, leading a group of little followers to the street near the restaurant.
Here it was probably because it was on the main street of the West Market in Wuding City, so the people coming and going were particularly numerous.
The black-eared one smiled with a lecherous face, not only looked at beautiful women, but also pulled at their little beauties’ skirts, and even pounced on their little beauties’ bodies.
Several little beauties screamed in shock and ran away.
He even stood on the street laughing loudly.
Originally bored and staring blankly, Qing Zhu suddenly became energetic.
“Fourth brother, I’m going downstairs to buy something, I’ll be back soon. Wait for me up there.” Qing Zhu said and ran off.
“Little White, hurry up and follow.” Qing Xuan called out to Little White helplessly.
Little White didn’t need his command and automatically followed.
Qing Zhu ran downstairs, deliberately walked in front of that dandy’s body. That guy indeed saw her. The other party hesitated for a moment, I don’t know what he was hesitating about, but still rushed up and hugged Qing Zhu.
Qing Zhu lifted a foot, a flying kick flipped him to the ground. Then lifted her skirt and kicked him fiercely.
The kicked dandy was swollen and bruised, his face full of blood, lying on the ground howling.
The little dandy’s followers had never seen someone so fierce, so fierce, with such a fast kicking speed that it produced afterimages. Kicking their own young master who was kicked to lie on the ground and crying?
“Scoundrel, you dare to kick our young master, you’re really tired of living.”
Several followers roared and rushed up.
The result was all kicked flying out.
Lying more than a dozen meters away, they couldn’t get up.
The little dandy looked, his crying sound became even louder. Qing Zhu didn’t care, and continued kicking. “I let you pull people’s little sisters’ skirts, I let you pull people’s little sisters’ clothes? I let you pull people’s little aunts’ hair, let you idle and hug back and forth?
Are you too lacking your mother to hug? Want to eat milk and go home to find your mother!
Doing such embarrassing things on the street, do your family members know?”
“Know.” A middle-aged man with a group of guards walked over. “Sorry, adults, it’s all the sons who don’t understand.”
“If you don’t understand, go home and tie him with a chain, and let him out to disgust people, what is the matter?” Qing Jing sprayed people impatiently.
The later arriving Little White walked over somewhat blankly and numbly, standing silently behind Qing Zhu. How did his young miss end up causing trouble downstairs?
“He has several brothers in the same nest who are not bad, he is the youngest. Born frail, he was raised with great difficulty, and was spoiled and indulged by his mother.”
The middle-aged man touched his nose and said with a flattery, but the tone was quite sincere. “It’s all my fault for not educating my young sons well. In the future, I will definitely not indulge him anymore, and will strictly discipline him. You see if it’s okay?”
“Then his matter of hugging me on the street is forgotten? How thick is your face?” Qing Jing sprayed impatiently.
“Well, then, adult, you see if it’s okay? There is a small three-entry courtyard not far from here, about three hundred meters away, decorated with elegant and exquisite taste, I will transfer it directly to your name, as compensation, how about? You let my family little one go.”
The middle-aged man earnestly requested in a very sincere tone.
“Okay.” Qing Jing thought about it and agreed. “However, next time if I see him being so rude again, I will directly tie him with a rope and drag him walking the dog on the street.”
“Wolf, wolf, I am a werewolf.” The little dandy cried while looking at his father aggrievedly.
Why didn’t his father help him this time?
Why?
Previously, when encountering this kind of people who specially love to help the weak, his father hadn’t dealt with them all? Those guys all ended up regretting coming to this world.
Why is this little girl so sudden? How did his family father stop supporting him? Why is his father so humble today?
Some werewolf father looked at his own family’s silly son and was very annoyed.
“Hmph! Just you as a werewolf, if your fellow brothers and sisters were all like you, your father would probably be annoyed and go crazy.” Qing Jing scolded the other party impatiently.
The werewolf father listened and could not help but smile.
“No, just this one in our family is a troublemaker, all spoiled by my family old wife.”
“Then take him back and educate him properly.” Qing Jing said to the other father.
“Okay, okay, adult, rest assured, I will definitely educate him well.” The werewolf father said.
“Um, okay. Forget about today’s matter. You go call someone to bring my fourth brother down. We are going to look at the houses.” Qing Jing immediately called the werewolf father.
“Okay, okay.”
Qing Xuan with Qing Quan was quickly invited down.
“What’s going on?” As soon as Qing Xuan saw Qing Jing and the middle-aged man, he hurried over anxiously.
“This uncle is willing to give us a set of courtyard for free. Is it true?” Qing Zhu turned to look at the middle-aged man.
“Yes, yes.” The middle-aged man smiled.
“Why?” Qing Xuan asked in confusion.
“Don’t ask.” Qing Jing pulled Qing Xuan and said, “Let Qing Quan go handle the transfer procedures. We go look at the houses. You find someone to take us there.” Qing Jing finally instructed the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man immediately recruited a steward beside him.
The new house was indeed exquisite, whether in furniture or decorations in various places of the house.
“This house was originally there, and it can be considered one of the oldest and most complete houses in Wuding City. Our family owner did not modify the structure of the house, but specially found people to redecorate it.” The steward explained to Qing Xuan’s siblings.
“Um, not bad.” Qing Zhu nodded.
“The servants in the house…”
“You take them away. We will find them ourselves.” Qing Jing immediately said.
“Okay.” The steward had no more words and directly left the keys at each place, then took the tidied servants and left.
“This is simply like a dream. Little Zhu’er, how did you get this house?” Qing Xuan asked in confusion.
Qing Zhu told the previous experience.
“I was just idle and bored. That kid was really too disgusting, so I thought of a way to beat him up. But his father was quite reasonable, otherwise I would have beaten his father too.” Qing Zhu said.
Qing Xuan’s expression was strange. “This is really compensating for the son and losing the house.”
“Fourth brother, what are you talking about?”
“No, I said you did well. Such little dandies should be cleaned up.”
When Qing Quan came back, he also brought Qing Jing, Ning Qi, and Jiuquan back with him.
After searching for houses, there were no cheap ones. They had to look for inns again, but luckily found a remote inn. Before Qing Jing’s siblings went back to find Qing Xuan, they were encountered by Qing Quan first.
After Qing Quan explained, Qing Jing himself had already settled the residential in Wuding City, and it was given away for free.
Qing Jing was speechless.
When they came, they toured the new house again.
Even Ning Qi could not help but say, “I will live in your house.”
“Come on.” Qing Jing said speechlessly.
“Our Ancient Sage Sect doesn’t have such a good house here in Wuding City.”
Qing Jing said seriously, “I saw it early. When you were touring the house just now, you almost dropped your saliva onto the floor tiles.”
“Qing Jing…” Ning Qi was angry. “This house is earned by Qing Zhu.”
“It’s all the same, all belong to our Shen family. But the house was finally transferred to my name.” Qing Jing smiled complacently. How annoying!
Ning Qi hated it in his heart, biting his teeth. This Shen Qing Jing was such a sly and bad person.
But to be honest, with such a good house, who would be willing to live in the dilapidated houses of the Ancient Sage Sect?
“Just by teaching that kid’s son a lesson, receiving such a big gift, is it appropriate?” Ning Qi frowned and asked.
“It is a blessing, not a curse. If it is a curse, it can’t be avoided. When soldiers come, block them with generals; when water comes, cover them with earth.” Qing Jing looked very open-minded.
“Then how about you let little Zhu help me incubate the little turtle first. It’s at least a help.” Ning Qi said again.
Qing Jing: “…”
My little white cat and Qing Xuan’s little bird chicks can’t be used, how can the newly hatched little turtle help?
“Really, it’s at least a sound turtle, at least it can call.” Ning Qi said.
Qing Jing rubbed his forehead, truly helpless with him.
“Qing Zhu, help your brother Ning Qi incubate it.”
Qing Zhu directly went up and gave Ning Qi’s little turtle egg on his hand a loving pat. Before long, the turtle egg had movement. A little turtle broke out of the shell and crawled out.
This little turtle was actually white.
The back shell seemed to be some kind of tortoise shell, but white tortoise shell. Light and dark white, very layered.
The little turtle just hatched rushed to Ning Qi and bit him on the back of the hand, directly biting a bloody wound.
“You… what are you doing?”
“People are hungry.” Qing Zhu laughed loudly.
“Why don’t you prepare some food for it, let little Zhu incubate it for you?” Qing Xuan also laughed unceremoniously.
“Jiuquan, hurry up and get some little meat strips.” Qing Jing instructed.
“No need, young master, our young master’s place has stored a lot of little meat strips.” Qing Quan immediately said.
“I stored that for my bird sons.” Qing Xuan immediately said unwillingly.
“Eating some fresh ones is not better?” Qing Quan advised.
Qing Xuan really knew how to speak, upon hearing it he reluctantly agreed.
“Brother Ning Qi, you will make up for me with some fresh meat strips later.”
“Okay, definitely make up.” Ning Qi said cheerfully.
Little meat strips were served on a plate, the little turtle directly pounced on it, as if starving to death, eating with big mouthfuls. Before long, it was eaten clean.
But it just born, its belly was small. After eating a small plate of meat strips, it was full.
The full little turtle simply crawled into Ning Qi’s collar and went to sleep.
…
On the other side, some steward had already taken the servants back to the young master’s mansion.
“Young master, the house transfer is complete. The family was very satisfied with the house.” The steward said.
The young master who was reading a book smiled and raised his head. “Satisfied is good.”
“Young master, that family is just frail humans, how can we afford to lose a set of courtyard? That courtyard is worth one million purple gold coins.”
“Who can easily take things from my hands?” The young master said in a gloomy tone. “Only those who cannot resist at all. Do you think who it is? You think she looks like an ordinary human. But she is actually a divine descendant or a demon descendant, with divine energy in her body. Or she is originally a split body of a god or demon.
Alas, such existences are places we cannot resist? If not for me stopping the family members who were really secretly protecting the young one, the matter would probably be out of control.
If that kind of existence took a fancy to us, do you think our family would have a good life?
Our family is also in a high position in the wolf clan, but can it be compared to divine descendants and demon descendants, or compared to split bodies of gods and demons?”
The steward immediately lost composure. “That little girl, is actually a divine descendant or a demon descendant?”
“It could also be an even stronger split body of a god or demon.” The wolf young master sighed. “The Profound Heaven Tower is about to open, sure enough something bizarre comes out.”
“I didn’t hear in previous years that there were such existences coming here. What is the matter with this Profound Heaven Tower opening?” The steward said in puzzlement.
“What’s going on? … I don’t know either.” The wolf young master lay on the chair back, looking up, his mind unpredictable.
