Rong Xing was both amused and exasperated. It turned out that Fang Ruotang was afraid of the steamed buns because she didn't want to eat them, so she found it strange that the buns were moving around.
But this ginseng, which was clearly already enlightened, made her want to eat it, so she wasn't afraid at all. Her first thought was that this ginseng would make a delicious chicken soup.
Rong Xing always listened to Fang Ruotang, and when he heard her ask this question, he thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but feel a little craving it.
Such a big ginseng root, it's so nourishing!
And they... really need to replenish their bodies.
"Why don't we buy it? I think it should taste good," Rong Xing agreed.
Fang Ruotang smacked her lips, stared at the giant ginseng, and said, "I think so too, let's buy it!"
Then, she looked up at the orc selling ginseng. It was a bull-beastman; after all, with such a big nose and such a pair of bull horns, it was hard for her not to recognize him.
"How many?"
"Ten high-grade spirit stones?"
The bull-beast quoted an inflated price.
Then the person on the other side took it out and put it on the cart.
He didn't react at first, but the three people behind her spoke up at the same time, "Sect Master?"
Upon seeing this, the bull-beast immediately stuffed the spirit stones into its pocket and ran away at top speed. It didn't even want the cart anymore, since it was just a tattered piece of wood.
Fang Ruotang paused for a moment, then looked innocently at the three of them, including Ancestor Yan Yun.
Did I give too much?
"yes!"
The three nodded in unison.
Fang Ruotang's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't take it to heart. She smiled and said, "Just consider it a reward! As long as this ginseng stewed chicken is delicious, that's fine."
"It must taste delicious. Let Tao Su make it." Rong Xing stared at the struggling ginseng, which was making some noises that he couldn't understand and didn't want to understand.
It's probably best for people not to interact with food.
Otherwise, it's easy to be soft-hearted when it comes to food.
Fang Ruotang clearly thought the same thing, so she threw the ginseng spirit along with the cart into the secret realm, and even used her divine sense to send a message to Tao Su, saying that she wanted to drink ginseng chicken soup.
Tao Su was not in the sect; she was training with her fellow disciples.
Suddenly, a cart fell from the sky and broke apart. The ginseng spirit tied to the cart tried to escape, but Qin Bao'er, quick-witted and agile, held it down.
"Did Master send this down from the sky?"
Tao Su stood frozen in place, and only after listening to Fang Ruotang's instructions did she nod to Qin Bao'er.
"Yes, Master said he wants to eat ginseng chicken soup. I can't go any further with you now. You go first, and I'll catch up with you in a bit."
"It won't make a difference if I spend a little more time. I'll just go look around and see if there are any spirit chickens. But I'm afraid the Heavenly One Secret Realm probably doesn't have any that low-level..."
Before Qin Bao'er could finish speaking, she received a telepathic message from Fang Ruotang.
With a constipated expression, she said with a wry smile, "Let's put the ginseng essence away first. Master said there's a spirit beast called the Five-Colored Golden Pheasant in the secret realm, and he wants us to catch it and make chicken soup for her."
"good!"
Tao Su couldn't help but laugh.
Outside the secret passage, Fang Ruotang smiled even more happily. Holding Rong Xing's large hand, she swung it back and forth, saying cheerfully, "This is so convenient!"
"Hmm! Let's take another look. If there are any other ingredients, we can buy them too..."
"Is this fish edible?"
Rong Xing noticed Fang Ruotang staring at the direction of the shark, paused, and said with difficulty, "She probably can't eat much! She looks just like a human now."
"But her fish tail is so long and big, and it's golden yellow. It looks delicious. If you fry it into a small fish tail, it should be very fragrant and crispy."
Rong Xing: ...
This fish tail must be quite large.
"Your brother-in-law's contracted beast is a merman. Isn't it inappropriate for us to eat his own kind?"
“How could they be the same kind! Cang Ge comes from the Immortal Realm, while we are in the cultivation world. We are not even in the same plane, so it is even more impossible for us to be the same species.”
Fang Ruotang wanted to eat a big fish last time.
Rong Xing raised his hand to cover Fang Ruotang's longing eyes and said helplessly, "You can't eat it. The word 'merman' also contains the character for 'person,' and I can't eat it."
Fang Ruotang choked; she was thinking about eating the fish tail.
Who wants to eat fish head?
But after Rong Xing said that, she lost her appetite.
"How about we buy it and let the pearl fall off? It's perfect timing since Cangge is crying all by himself. Every time I went to visit my older sister, I saw that his eyes were swollen and he looked awful."
His expression froze, speechless.
These sisters are devils.
"It's up to you to decide."
"Okay! I'll go up and ask."
Du Zhong hurriedly said from behind, "Once you've decided to buy, let me negotiate the price. Although our Tianyi Sect doesn't lack spirit stones, we shouldn't waste them."
“Okay!” Fang Ruotang readily agreed.
She really didn't know the prices here. Not to mention here, she didn't even know the prices in Dayong. Unlike her older sisters, who had been using abacuses with their aunt and mother since they were eleven or twelve years old.
They knew the purchase prices of all kinds of food, drink and daily necessities in the mansion like the back of their hand, and they even knew the rise and fall of prices every quarter.
The older sister said that this is an essential skill for a matriarch.
Otherwise, one is easily fooled by those below.
Those who are in charge can tolerate their subordinates taking advantage of them within a certain limit, but they must know exactly how much and have the final say. Otherwise, they will be treated like fools and made fun of.
Will you drop the beads?
Fang Ruotang stepped forward and looked at the blood-soaked merman in front of her.
She wasn't even wearing any clothes, but her long hair was swept in front, covering some parts that Fang Ruotang considered private.
However, in the eyes of demonic beasts, they probably have no concept of this.
The merman raised his face, startling Fang Ruotang.
This female beastman is completely different from Cangge.
The Cangge is a very beautiful fish, the kind that looks delicious. Even if you don't eat it, it's still very attractive to keep in a pond.
But this mermaid looks very fierce.
It also has fish fins on both sides of its cheeks.
Although her facial features are like a human's, when she opened her mouth and bared her teeth, Fang Ruotang found it somewhat frightening. She wondered how strong her bite force was, and the skin on her face was not smooth, with deep and shallow grooves.
"..."
Fang Ruotang paused, somewhat taken aback by how ugly it looked.
She snuggled closer to Rong Xing behind her, tilted her head up, and whispered to him, "I don't want to buy her anymore. She's too ugly. Her crying beads probably won't look good either, and judging by her appearance, she probably won't taste good either."
Fang Ruotang's whispers could be heard by everyone present.
The merman roared at Fang Ruotang, his eyes filled with a desire to tear her apart, even though her wrists were clearly hanging high above her head.
But his hands are outstretched, as if in an attack posture.
Fang Ruotang couldn't help but glance at it; her hand was different from Cang Ge's.
Cangge has five fingers like a normal human, but this shark only has three fingers, and the fingers are connected by a layer of webbing.
