After a while, Ning Zhishui and Hua Jiaqing left the Dou family.
Hua Jiaqing was full of confusion.
For example, where did Ning Zhishui hear about the spiritual vein? Judging from the reaction of the Dou family head, it is clear that this matter must be a secret and has not been spread out.
Also, why did Ning Zhishui want to go to Zuifeng Tower? That's not a good place!
Hua Jiaqing didn't think the black market stall was a big deal. Apart from anything else, with Ning Zhishui's level of alchemy, he could easily sell any pills at a good price at the stall.
However, Hua Jiaqing has a big advantage, which is that she doesn't ask questions that she shouldn't ask, and she doesn't interfere in things that are not her business.
If she wanted to talk about Ning Zhishui, she would tell him. If she didn't, Hua Jiaqing wouldn't ask.
She just asked Ning Zhishui after leaving the Dou family, "Ning, where are we going now?"
Dou Lin just said that he would need two days to arrange the Zuifeng Tower matter, and would hand it over to Ning Zhishui the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
The black market only opens at the end of each month, so there is still some time from now.
Dou Lin will arrange for Ning Zhishui to join the Chamber of Commerce in the next few days, and she will be needed at that time, and the spiritual vein will be mined by the end of the month.
So what should they do now?
"Let's rent a house." Ning Zhishui said, "Let's go."
Hua Jiaqing nodded obediently, "Oh, okay, but is it near Zuifeng Tower?"
"No, just find a convenient location."
The two were walking on the road, and Ning Zhishui was thinking about the Zuifeng Tower.
In her previous life, she had a woman under her command who was extremely beautiful, cruel and ruthless, and she hated men especially.
Even towards Zhong Qiaonan, who always had a good relationship with others, he had a cold face and was never polite to her.
She is Tao Qi, also known as "Mei Luosha".
Tao Qi's skin was as white as jade and as delicate as porcelain, but no one would have thought that she had many horrible and ugly scars hidden on her body. They were caused by a patron with a quirk when she was in a brothel.
She once confided her true feelings to Ning Zhishui and told him about her past that she could not bear to look back on.
Sold at a young age, she grew up in a brothel and suffered a lot because of her bad temper.
At that time, there was a top fairy in the building. The fairy saw that Tao Qi was very similar to her sister who died young, so she took good care of her. Because of her protection, Tao Qi was spared many beatings.
Tao Qi has good looks, second only to the top prostitute in the building, so when she got older she had to start receiving customers.
She spoke in a consistent manner and had a good temper, which was very different from other delicate and gentle fairies, so she did not have many patrons.
But one day, a master with a unique taste came and asked her to serve him. Upon inquiry, it turned out that he was from a noble family - the Zhang family!
The aunt in charge of the building is very strict and has a high level of cultivation. The girls in the building are not qualified to refuse patrons, so even Tao Qi has to accept it.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang actually had that kind of fetish. He used all kinds of methods to torture the girl to death in bed, and she almost lost a layer of skin after serving him all night!
Mr. Zhang likes women with strong temperaments. He thinks that it is more exciting to play with them this way. Moreover, he doesn't like women with intact bodies. He prefers them to look miserable with wounds all over their bodies.
Tao Qi was in great pain. His injuries could not be treated. Within a few days, he became thinner and his face looked pale.
Tao Qi couldn't bear it any longer and tried to escape after refusing in vain, but the aunt in charge had already noticed it and caught her and beat her up so badly that she almost died.
But that night, Mr. Zhang came again and asked her to serve him again.
Tao Qi couldn't bear it when she was in good health, and now she is injured and sick, how can she bear it?
She decided to die and fight that guy.
So he took a special poison that would only be activated through sexual intercourse, and both of them would die suddenly.
If no one touches her, the poison will lose its effect.
Just when Tao Qi was about to meet Mr. Zhang, she didn't expect that the top sister discovered her plan.
"You can't die. We have to hold on until the day we can leave the building." The top sister locked her in her room with tears in her eyes and force-fed her medicine. "Be good and don't move. I'll go for you. Wait for me to come back."
After taking the medicine, Tao Qi fell asleep. She woke up at noon the next day, but the top sister had not returned.
She went looking for someone like crazy, but only heard the news of her death -
"A person? Already dead, covered in blood, not a single piece of skin intact... It can't be helped. Master Zhang didn't see how angry you were, so he attacked with extra force and lost control of his strength. But don't be afraid. I heard Master Zhang will be busy mining spiritual veins outside the city soon, so he won't be available for a long time. You should take this opportunity to heal your wounds."
…
Ning Zhishui let out a breath.
Hua Jiaqing noticed that Ning Zhishui's expression was not right at this time. Her eyes were a little red, and there seemed to be a murderous intent around her. She couldn't help but look at her in confusion.
Why did it suddenly become like this?
He was saying he wanted to rent a house just now, how come he wants to kill someone now?
"Are you okay?" she asked quietly.
Ning Zhishui hummed, his expression becoming calmer, but his voice still held a hint of harshness, "Very good."
I just feel like killing someone.
After wandering around the city, Ning Zhishui chose a house.
The house is quite grand and the location is good. It is right in the city and it is convenient to go everywhere.
The Alchemist Guild is not far ahead, and you can get there by walking leisurely for a quarter of an hour.
Upon inquiry, it was found that the house had been vacant for less than ten days when the previous owner was accidentally killed. The family was panicked and worried that something might happen to him, so they sold it at a low price and moved out of Luoyu City.
Because someone had died in the house, everyone was worried that taking over would cause trouble, so even though the location and house were good, it was not easy to sell them.
You only need eight thousand crystals to buy it.
Ning Zhishui walked around the clean house, feeling deeply moved.
This is probably just luck.
If she wanted to gain a foothold in Luoyu City, she had to own a decent house. However, those good houses were hard to buy because most of them were already owned. Even if there was one available, it would be difficult to buy it with the money she had.
That's why she thought of renting one to use as a temporary solution, and it wouldn't be too late to buy one when she had money in the future.
But unexpectedly, by chance, there happened to be such a yard at a very cheap price, with a location and size that met my requirements.
If you don’t buy this, you’ll be doing yourself a disservice.
As for worrying about enemies, that's an unnecessary worry. The enemies are not stupid. How could they make a mistake in such an obvious matter?
Moreover, if there really was an enemy pursuing them, the family members in the house would not be able to move out so easily!
So, buy it!
Ning Zhishui bargained and finally bought it for seven thousand five.
