Chapter 479: Love and Passion
Chapter 479: Love and Passion
Tian Lin knew that Mei Xiangu was just saying this out of anger. Perhaps telling Mei Xiangu about his plan would make her feel better and more supportive of him.
But if you don't keep your plans secret, harm may happen. Facing a powerful Yuanying master who is eyeing you covetously, you can never be too careful.
As if he didn't hear Mei Xiangu's ridicule, Tian Lin remained calm and used his true Qi to disperse the water stains on his body.
As he walked away from the abandoned well, he said, "I guess we won't be able to find the secret well today. Why don't we go to the restaurant again?"
Mei Xiangu thought of what Tian Lin said, that the evil punishers in the restaurant were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they would turn a blind eye to them.
She had always been skeptical of Tian Lin's judgment and had long wanted to re-verify it. Now that Tian Lin mentioned it, she simply nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the restaurant and take a look."
The two of them walked out of the courtyard and went straight to the market near the restaurant.
At this time, the population of Fuzhou City was much smaller than before.
When Tian Lin and others first entered Fuzhou City, they occasionally encountered beggars on the streets.
But less than half a month later, there were fewer beggars on the streets, and the number of people setting up stalls in the market where the restaurant was located also decreased.
"Both of you!"
Downstairs of the restaurant, the small vendor selling paper figurines never left.
He saw Tian Lin and the other man approaching from afar and immediately stood up from the ground.
"It's only been a few days since we last met, little brother. How come you look a lot thinner and hungry? Could it be that you didn't eat the meat pie I gave you?"
After hearing what Tian Lin said, the vendor looked bitter: "I have a wife and children at home who are crying for food. How can one meat pie be enough for me?"
Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu hopefully and said, "You two are still as charming as ever, which is really cause for celebration. I wonder if you are going to buy the Mountain Moving Warrior again this time?"
Tian Lin smiled but didn't say anything. Mei Xiangu frowned and said bluntly, "Last time you exchanged a few pieces of paper for a meat pie from us, which was a huge bargain. Why, now that you've finished the meat pie, you want to take advantage of us again?"
Faced with Mei Xiangu's ridicule, the street vendor was not angry at all.
Instead, he begged Tian Lin, "Senior, this time I'll give you a hundred mountain-moving warriors, and you can give me a meat pie, how about that?"
Tian Lin didn't say anything, Mei Xiangu flew into a rage: "One hundred pieces of scrap paper, and you still want to exchange them for meat patties?"
Although she couldn't fold a mountain-moving strongman, it didn't stop her from looking down on the junky things made of torn paper.
After all, for her and Tian Lin, the mountain-moving strongman was too hard to even wipe their butts with.
After all, the mountain-moving strongmen are the "low-class laborers" used by monks when building houses. They are things that have only strength but no fighting power.
Even when the world was not in chaos, she would not have looked down upon such things. Moreover, now that the world was in chaos, there were empty houses everywhere, so what was the point of moving mountains and strong men?
"Two hundred. How about two hundred in exchange for meat patties?"
The vendor said pitifully, "Although we are not short of spiritual energy now, it is still very laborious for us to fold a mountain-moving warrior."
Although a meat pie is not worth much to Mei Xiangu, she never shows kindness to outsiders without permission.
What she was more concerned about was the evil punisher in the restaurant.
Just as Tian Lin said, the noise she made downstairs was not small. But there was no noise in the restaurant, as if the evil-punishing messenger drinking in the restaurant was deaf.
"Since you can make origami figures, see if you can help me make one that looks exactly like me."
The vendor was stunned for a moment, and said, "Senior, do you want to be a substitute? Unfortunately, I don't have that ability."
In Qi Men Dun Jia, there is a kind of substitute paper man. That kind of paper man is made according to the body shape and appearance of another person. Once the paper man is exactly the same as the real person, it can kill the original person and take the place of the other person in the world, and it can also block curses and eliminate disasters for the other person.
But in order to fold such a paper figure, one must not only have the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but also have extremely high attainments in paper folding.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I want the paper man you fold, not to protect me from disasters. As long as he can act and pass for me at a critical moment, that's enough."
The vendor frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "Who can be fooled by a paper figure like this?"
Fairy Mei also looked at Tian Lin. She knew that Tian Lin wanted to use the paper man to deceive the Nascent Soul cultivator in Fuzhou.
But as the vendor said, that kind of thing that only looks similar would be hard to fool even an ordinary Jindan realm evil punisher, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but Senior, you want these dummies, are you planning to cause trouble in Fuzhou City?"
The small vendor looked alert, for he was afraid that Tian Lin would cause trouble and end up implicating him.
Tian Lin frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Don't misunderstand, little brother. I want these dummies just to avoid my enemies."
Seeing that the vendor still didn't believe him, Tian Lin asked, "Little brother, do you know Wang Yanyu from Beihuang?"
The vendor said nothing. He had never been to Northern Wilderness since he grew up, and had no impression of Wang Yanyu.
"Wang Yanyu married into the Su family, which has fallen on hard times. Although the Su family is now in bad shape, it was once a great family after all."
The vendor asked Tian Lin, "Senior, do you mean that Wang Yanyu wants to harm you?"
Tian Lin nodded: "This Wang Yanyu is a widow. As the mistress of the Su family, her life is naturally difficult. And I am not talented, and my appearance is not important for now, but I am also a disciple of the immortal sect."
The street vendor suspected that Tian Lin was bragging. After all, although it was a chaotic time now, the disciples of the immortal sect were still extremely noble in the eyes of ordinary people.
"This Wang Yanyu wants my identity as a disciple of the immortal sect, and I want Wang Yanyu's beauty. In short, we are in love with each other."
Fairy Mei on the side snorted coldly - although she did not realize that Tian Lin and Wang Yanyu had an affair, she had heard of the rumors about them.
Previously, she thought Tian Lin was a gentleman who could remain calm in the face of temptation - after all, she had been in the Wendao Sect for quite some time, and knew that Tian Lin had no bad habits other than practicing, and he didn't even touch the two swords at home.
But after Tian Lin's aggressive behavior towards Cui'er and her sister in the past half month, she no longer believed that Tian Lin was a gentleman who could remain calm under the influence of women. So she thought that the gossip in Beiye County might not be false.
"So, Senior and Wang Yanyu have turned from love to hatred?"
Tian Lin nodded and said, "Although Wang Yanyu is not bad, she is still no match for my senior sister."
Tian Lin tilted his head to look at Mei Xiangu, and the two looked at each other, unable to pretend to be affectionate at all.
Seeing Tian Lin's dirty talk involving her, Mei Xiangu really wanted to slap Tian Lin in the face. Fortunately, she managed to hold back.
"This female senior is indeed a match made in heaven with you, senior."
Mei Xiangu was wearing a veil, so the vendor couldn't see her dignity, but he could guess that Mei Xiangu was definitely quite good-looking.
As for saying that Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu were a fairy couple, it was just a flattery on his part.
Tian Lin nodded in agreement: "Although Wang Yanyu is also beautiful and has enough food to feed a county town, so what? How can she compare to my Senior Sister Mei?"
