Understanding the pattern of the Spotted Blue Fish Demon and with the Little Crocodile Dragon’s strength rapidly increasing, exterminating the Spotted Blue Fish Demon had merely become a matter of time.
First scatter them, then launch a surprise attack, and after breaking them one by one, the intelligent school of fish turned into a panicked cluster of foolish fish. What remained was simply a pure hunt, since naturally the Spotted Blue Fish Monster was no match for a species like the crocodile dragon.
With the student appointment complete, Zhu Minglang received that piece of Gold Sand.
To reward the Little Crocodile Dragon, Zhu Minglang specifically went to Phoenix Embankment Town, planning to buy some fresh and high-quality Large Meat Silkworms from the mulberry farmers himself.
He also took the opportunity to purchase some fresh nectar, seeing that Little White’s Ice Pupa state suggested it wouldn’t be long before it emerged.
“Gee, why did it take you almost half a month to crawl out of the lake?” the peach-selling girl with the rye-colored skin said at the bridgehead.
Zhu Minglang looked at her, his smile gradually brightening, “You still owe me a basket of peaches, girl.”
The peach-selling girl was startled for a moment and realized that Zhu Minglang indeed had an academy’s badge on his chest.
“So you really are a student of the Dragon Taming Academy, but where’s your dragon?” the peach-selling girl asked.
“Never mind that, I want the freshest, largest, and juiciest peaches,” Zhu Minglang said, his mood instantly lifting. All the slight grievances from before were swept away!
“Alright, alright, you win. My family has plenty of peaches. When I finish selling today’s peaches, you can come to my house to get them,” the peach-selling girl said, showing a bit of forthrightness.
“That works. By the way, do you know where I can buy silkworms and where I can get good nectar?” Zhu Minglang inquired.
“My family has them,” said the peach-selling girl.
Zhu Minglang, puzzled, looked at her and said, “Isn’t your family in the peach business?”
“Can’t farmers have a family business? My parents grow and sell peaches, my third brother raises silkworms, and my seventh uncle collects nectar. There isn’t a farm product that our family doesn’t sell here in Phoenix Embankment Town!” declared the peach-selling girl, proud and justified.
“Fine, fine, fine, if you sell everything and the quality is good, from now on, I’ll do business only with you,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Just to be clear upfront, our family doesn’t give credit,” the peach-selling girl stated.
Zhu Minglang was puzzled. Where did he look like someone who would skip out on a bill? He said with a touch of annoyance, “I pay on the spot!”
After negotiating the price with the peach-selling girl, Zhu Minglang finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He had finally sorted out the initial food supply for the two babies!
“Young man, you must be short of money, haggling over such little things. See that painted barge by the river? Inside, there are not only beautiful women but also handsome men. If you really are in need, you might try there. After all, you do have a decent look that could attract those lonely widows. Don’t end up penniless and down on your luck like when we first met,” the peach-selling girl offered Zhu Minglang a well-meaning little tip.
“????” Zhu Minglang clutched at his slightly aching chest.
Defeated once again!
So uncomfortable!
“Nian Nian, did you save any honey peaches for sister?” a gentle and lovely voice came from behind.
Just hearing that voice gave one a heart-tickling feeling, as if one could instantly imagine all the beauty of the person speaking.
“I have, I have,” the peach-selling girl’s voice suddenly turned sweet. She quickly brought out a carefully wrapped bag of large honey peaches, her little cheeks full of smiles as she said, “Sister, you really are beautiful. Even as a girl, seeing you makes my heart flutter.”
Zhu Minglang immediately widened his eyes, somewhat in disbelief that this sharp-tongued girl could instantly transform into Little Miss Sweetheart!
“Sister actually prefers sweet and glutinous girls as well,” said the woman with a voice that was undeniably graceful, yet her words sounded particularly alluring.
Moreover, there was something vaguely familiar about her voice.
Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but be curious and turned his head to look at the woman who had spoken.
That single glance electrified Zhu Minglang as if a current had shot through his body.
Simply by the sound of her voice, he had imagined her to be a beauty, but the brilliance of her appearance left him completely dumbfounded, staring at her for a long time!
The woman noticed Zhu Minglang’s gaze but merely offered a shallow smile, purely out of well-mannered courtesy, and then continued to casually chat with the peach-selling girl.
“Did you come especially to see me?” Zhu Minglang asked the woman in as carefree a manner as he could manage, although the other’s beauty indeed made his heart race.
Li Yunzi.
The woman standing before him was unmistakably Li Yunzi.
Her eyes sparkled like the Milky Way, her lips full like honeyed peaches; having spent an entire night in her company, how could Zhu Minglang not recognize her, even though her attire today was noticeably different, resembling that of a noble young lady? Yet, her stunning and unique beauty was far too memorable.
“Do we know each other?” The woman’s gaze returned to Zhu Minglang’s face as she spoke in a very calm tone.
“This…” At her question, Zhu Minglang was left rather embarrassed.
Did Li Yunzi not want others to know about their previous encounter and thus wanted to become strangers henceforth?
“Little brother, your flirting skills are worse than a toad’s,” the peach-selling girl teased with an ease that swung between sarcasm and sweetness, then continued with a beaming smile to the other woman, “Sister Lingsha, your charm is too potent, it irresistibly attracts even those little brothers with a screw loose.”
“Alright, alright, I’m heading back to the academy,” the woman said with a smile, picking up her bag of peaches and walking towards Bai Qi Bridge, in the direction of the academy.
Zhu Minglang watched Li Yunzi’s retreating figure, puzzled. freewebnov(e)l.com
“What did you just call her?” Zhu Minglang turned back to ask the peach-selling girl. fre ewebno vel.com
“Nan Lingsha, are you really a student at the Dragon Taming Academy, not even having heard of such a great beauty as Sister Lingsha?” The peach-selling girl asked doubtfully.
“I’m self-taught and not very familiar with the academy. Her name is Nan Lingsha and she’s from the Li Chuan Dragon Taming Academy?” Zhu Minglang said.
“Look here, don’t entertain any fantasies about Sister Lingsha. She’s the young mistress of the Nan Family, as noble as a phoenix. You’d better spend more time thinking about how to fend for yourself rather than dreaming that entering the Dragon Taming Academy will make you soar high. There are plenty of students who descend into poverty and go insane because their Juvenile Spirits didn’t transform into dragons,” said the peach-selling girl.
“The Nan Family? Could it really be a case of mistaken identity?” Zhu Minglang was utterly confused at this point.
Despite the disparity between the woman’s temperament and the allure reflected in her eyes and brows, her face was clearly that of Li Yunzi!
Nan Lingsha…
Nan Lingsha, this was a name Zhu Minglang seemed to recall Master Li mentioning.
Sisters?
But sisters couldn’t possibly look so identical.
Zhu Minglang shook his head. Perhaps it was a case of ‘daytime thoughts becoming nighttime dreams’, and in that charming sunlight, he had mistaken someone else for the woman in his mind.
