Chapter 216 Return to Nanmu Country
Ye Xingzhou turned into a crocodile and rolled over several times, but Meng Zhi didn't care and walked out forcefully.
"Junior Brother!"
Ye Xingzhou hurriedly hugged his legs, "Junior brother, junior brother, I have never asked you for anything in my life, please let me take another look."
After taking a quick look, he didn't even see the entire tail fin, but it was still so tempting that he couldn't stop looking, so Meng Zhi stopped him from looking.
Ye Xingzhou wailed, but his hands were not idle either, pulling Meng Zhi's trouser legs wildly.
"I refuse."
Meng Zhi grabbed the waist of his pants with one hand, pulled Ye Xingzhou's legs and dragged him out the door.
No matter what Ye Xingzhou said, Meng Zhi refused.
Heartbreaking, the real heartbreak is not about making a big fuss.
He should have lifted up his robe to take a look just now. Now that he missed it, Ye Xingzhou regretted it so much.
Ye Xingzhou followed Meng Zhi with a gloomy face.
My junior brother is usually very easy to talk to. Even if he refuses, he will agree after a while.
I'm determined not to show it today.
"Junior brother, why don't you show me?"
Ye Xingzhou was swaying in front of Meng Zhi like a ghost.
Meng Zhi covered Ye Xingzhou's face with his palm, turned his head and coughed lightly.
"I don't want to show you."
Ye Xingzhou's eyes slipped out from between his fingers, and he just saw a faint blush on Meng Zhi's ears.
Eh?
Junior brother doesn’t show it to me because he’s shy!
That’s right, it’s the first time for the junior brother to transform his legs into a fish tail, so he must not be used to it. Just one look at it will prepare him mentally.
Covering herself with a long gown was Meng Zhi's last act of stubbornness, and she was still willing to let him take a look despite herself.
Ye Xingzhou's resentment finally dissipated a little.
"Junior brother, I'll watch it when you want to show it to me later."
Meng Zhi withdrew his hand without responding.
He didn't want to show Ye Xingzhou because the fish tail was out of his control.
As soon as Ye Xingzhou appeared, his tail fin began to shake wildly.
My teeth are itchy, so itchy that I want to bite into my flesh.
This feeling of being out of control made Meng Zhi suspect that the tail fin was just growing on his body, but it actually had its own ideas and wanted to change ownership.
Meng Zhi gently twisted it with her fingertips.
Beneath the thin cocoon, there seems to be a soft touch and warm body temperature.
"Ye Xingzhou." Meng Zhi spoke.
"what."
"I think……"
Bite, right?
Ye Xingzhou was quick to grab Meng Zhi's lips and block the last two words from coming out.
Ye Xingzhou: "No, you don't want to."
Meng Zhi slapped Ye Xingzhou's hand away.
This time he could understand the itchy feeling that Ye Xingzhou had just felt when he was scratching his ears and cheeks.
The person is right in front of you, but you don’t bite him.
Really.
Meng Zhi licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue to relieve the itch.
Shui Yujun, an outsider, looked at the two of them and sighed deeply.
"I can't accompany you on this journey. I still have things to deal with in Shuihuo City."
Shui Yujun touched the jade pendant with his fingertips, and the water-shaped vortex gate reappeared.
"Once you find the Soul-Snatching Formation, I will come forward to deal with it."
"Okay." Ye Xingzhou nodded in agreement, "Take care, Your Highness."
Meng Zhi had already entered the water-shaped door. Seeing this, Ye Xingzhou picked up a red coral and followed him.
Red coral is priceless, it would be a shame not to grab it.
Ye Xingzhou's figure was hidden in the water. When Shui Yujun closed his eyes, his peripheral vision suddenly passed by.
There was a tooth mark on Ye Xingzhou's left hand.
When I looked closely, the water-shaped gate had disappeared.
That glance seemed unreal.
Shui Yujun stared at the void, his brows slightly furrowed.
This is a difficult situation.
I didn't notice it before, but Meng Zhi actually left a mark on Ye Xingzhou's hand.
*
Nanmu Kingdom is truly dominated by the Meng family.
Industries are spread all over the place, and any few shops on the street belong to the Meng family, especially auctions are the most popular.
As soon as Meng Zhi appeared, the shopkeeper of Xiangju Tower didn't have time to do anything. He squatted down and hid under the cabinet, and said to the waiter.
"Hurry up, Erlang, guard the store for me. If anyone wants to see me, just say I'm not here."
Erlang was a little confused when he saw the shopkeeper suddenly avoiding him, but he still agreed.
"Junior brother, aren't you going back to the Meng family?" Ye Xingzhou asked curiously when he saw Meng Zhi taking him to the Xiangju Tower.
Meng Zhi: "Let's eat first."
Ye Xingzhou looked up at the hotel on the seventh floor and asked, "Junior Brother, is this also part of the Meng family's business?"
"Um."
It's so inhumane.
Ye Xingzhou decided to have a big meal before entering the Meng family.
Meng Zhi stared at the entrance counter and walked straight over.
Erlang was about to speak when Meng Zhi had already grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and pulled him out.
The shopkeeper's fat belly trembled in fear, "Young Master, you, you're back."
Erlang immediately lowered his head, "Little, little, little..."
"What's missing?" Meng Zhi grabbed a silver ingot from the till and blocked Erlang's mouth. "It's a reward for you."
The shopkeeper was heartbroken, "Master, you can't do this."
Meng Zhi narrowed his eyes, "What did you say?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "No, no, no, the young master is kind and wise."
His chubby little hand under his sleeve was trying to secretly close the cabinet door.
When Erlang saw that it was silver, he bowed repeatedly.
"More, more, more—"
Thank you, young master, for your reward. I am stuttering over these few words.
Meng Zhi picked up another ingot of silver and threw it at him, "Shut up."
Erlang was holding the silver and was almost moved to tears.
The shopkeeper was so heartbroken that he was about to cry.
Meng Zhi released his hand and rubbed his knuckles, "Tian Zi Jian, serve the dishes."
"Yes, yes, young master, the food will be here soon."
The shopkeeper was angry but dared not say anything, so he could only keep it in his heart.
Damn it, you were fine when you went out, why did you have to come back?
Meng Zhi was the shopkeeper's nightmare during those years.
Thinking back to the time when I became the manager of Shangxiangjulou and before Meng Zhi appeared, my life was like a fish in water.
The Meng family was a wealthy family with shops all over Nanmu Country. It was common for their subordinates to falsify accounts and embezzle profits.
The Meng family has no shortage of those little things, so there are always a few people who do this out of a sense of luck.
The owner of Xiangjulou used his wealth to buy land and a house in a prime location in Nanmu Country, married three beautiful concubines, and lived a wonderful life.
The shopkeeper's heart also swelled. Not satisfied with just cutting corners, he began to withhold the wages of the servants working odd jobs at Xiangju Building.
It happened that because Erlang's wages were deducted, his mother died of illness due to lack of money for medical treatment.
Erlang was a stutterer and illiterate, and he couldn't speak clearly when he was anxious. That day, he knelt in front of Xiangju Building. The shopkeeper turned the victim into a scammer with just a few words.
Just as Meng Zhi did this, the shopkeeper's nightmare began.
Erlang knelt at Meng Zhi's feet and kowtowed wildly as if he didn't care about his life. He stammered and couldn't speak. He could only point at the shopkeeper and cry loudly.
The shopkeeper thought that with Meng Zhi's arrogant and domineering personality, he would never have the patience to listen.
Meng Zhi really didn't have the patience to listen. He flipped through the account book and started beating the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper, who weighed 180 pounds, was running away in the street with his head in his hands.
From that day on, Meng Zhi came every two or three days.
I only do one thing each time I come here, and that is to beat up the shopkeeper.
Five whole years.
Do you know how the shopkeeper lived these past five years? He was beaten during the day, and at night he would go home and be frightened by his dead mother.
He couldn't sleep well, couldn't die, lost the house he bought, and lost all his money.
The fat shopkeeper who weighed 180 kilograms was reduced to 120 kilograms. His skin and flesh were loose and drooping, making him look like a ghost.
Now the shopkeeper is in debt of 12,000 taels of silver and has to keep up with the interest. He has to go to work every day to pay off the debt.
With the precedent set by the shopkeeper, all the other shops that were playing tricks became more honest.
After much difficulty, Meng Zhi entered the sect to practice and was unable to return. The shopkeeper's hard days were finally over. He was so happy that he gained weight again.
When Meng Zhi showed up this time, the shopkeeper's fat all wilted.
