There were many onlookers outside, and some people wanted to take advantage of the situation and get a share of the profits from those who had just left the secret realm.
However, none of this has anything to do with Lu Wu.
The instant she stepped out, a flash appeared before her eyes.
She only felt someone grab her arm and take her on a spatial journey.
When she came to her senses, she found herself in a beautiful courtyard, with a dignified-looking middle-aged man standing beside her.
The other party was Cang Heguang, the city lord of Hong'an City.
The name Cang He Guang comes from the phrase "和光同尘" (meaning "to be in harmony with the light and dust").
It means to blend in with the world and live a life of peace and harmony, without strife or contention.
But the story of Kosuke and Kou himself is the exact opposite of his name.
He rose to fame at a young age. Despite his humble origins, he dared to defy fate and suppressed a generation along the way. Only now, as the lord of Hong'an City, has he begun to temper his temper.
Nevertheless, one could immediately sense the undeniable intimidation emanating from the other party.
Fortunately, the oppressive aura was not directed at Lu Wu. Instead, when Cang He Guang saw Lu Wu's confusion, he showed a kind smile.
“Boss Lu, this is the City Lord’s Mansion. I have obtained intelligence that some people want to harm you. I brought you here for your safety. I hope you don’t mind.”
His gaze swept over Huo Huo, who was perched on Lu Wu's shoulder like an ordinary little bird, but he didn't ask any further questions.
Although he had some guesses about the identity of this monster.
Human cultivators can form contracts with demonic beasts, but this is rare, as very few demonic beasts are willing to submit to a human.
But a phoenix rising from the ashes chose Lu Wu, and Cang and Guang began to believe Grandpa Li's assessment that this Boss Lu was a man of great fortune.
Lu Wu wasn't unhappy with Cang He Guang's explanation.
"What about Qin Zhan and the others..."
She was afraid that the three would suddenly attack and hurt people. She hadn't been able to complete her bodyguard mission in the secret realm, and now that she was out protecting the target, she had lost him. It was pitiful to think about.
"Don't worry, someone will notify them."
"I brought Mr. Lu here because I have a favor to ask of you."
Cang Heguang spoke frankly.
Even though he held a high position and his cultivation was at the peak of the Qingyuan Realm, it was not something shameful for him to ask Lu Wu for help.
Lu Wu quite liked this attitude of equality.
Faced with Lu Wu's question, Cang Heguang then recounted the whole story.
"So, the evil dragon is willing to stay in the secret realm and won't leave unless absolutely necessary, on the condition that he needs to be provided with food from the outside world once a month?"
Lu Wu raised an eyebrow.
To be honest, the conditions are really simple.
Hong Ancheng is a large and wealthy family, and can easily afford to support a dragon.
Offering sacrifices once a month is enough to make the evil dragon restrain its bloodthirstiness; this deal is a sure-fire way to make money.
The existence of the evil dragons is like a living history book from ten thousand years ago, allowing them to better understand the brilliance of their predecessors from that era.
But what does that have to do with her?
"Senior Evil Dragon specifically requested that Boss Lu personally prepare the food."
Cang Heguang said apologetically.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the other party only wanted to stay in the secret realm to recuperate because of Lu Wu's sake.
Lu Wu was not surprised by this result.
In the secret realm, that senior skeleton has been a guardian spirit for a long time and has even accepted her bribes, so he must have done something.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Hong'an City will not take your skills for nothing. We will buy them at twice the market price. In addition, I, Cang Heguang, will personally promise you a favor, young friend Lu."
"As long as it does not harm the common people or violate the laws and ethics of heaven, young friend Lu, just say the word, and I, Cang, will go through fire and water without hesitation."
The change in address, from "Boss Lu" to "Young Friend Lu," speaks to Cang and Guang's closeness to Lu Wu.
Besides the evil dragon, it was also because of Grandpa Li.
The other party specifically instructed him to be friendly when he interacted with Lu Wu.
With a powerful backer, Cang Heguang didn't dare to act arrogantly, for fear of getting beaten up.
That senior's beating really hurt.
"Okay, I agree."
Lu Wu agreed without hesitation.
She only needs to leave one portion of food as an offering when she sets up her stall; it's not much trouble at all.
Having received such a huge promise from the City Lord of Hong'an City was enough for her to act with impunity in the Qingyuan Realm.
Fortunately, Lu Wu had no intention of cooking crabs.
"On behalf of Hong'an City, I, Cang, thank you, young friend Lu."
"By the way, regarding the matter of the Beast Taming Sect wanting to cause trouble for you, I will send someone to handle it, so you don't need to worry."
Beast Control Sect?
Lu Wu was completely unaware of this, and had no idea why the other party had targeted her.
After seeing the challenge issued by the Beast Taming Sect disciple of Yijietong, she smiled sheepishly and said that she would let Cang and Guang handle it.
What a joke, she doesn't know how to control beasts.
"The manor has prepared accommodations for you, young friend. Please make yourself at home."
"Of course, you can go out anytime you want."
Cang and Guang did not restrict Lu Wu's freedom; on the contrary, they were wholeheartedly concerned for Lu Wu's well-being.
After making the agreement, Cang Heguang spoke with Lu Wu for a while and then went to arrange various matters.
After seeing the other party off, Lu Wu looked at the beautifully blooming courtyard and smiled.
"They're really rich and powerful."
This courtyard now belongs to her.
Suddenly becoming rich overnight, I'm in a great mood.
[Ding dong... Detected that the host is about to break through a major realm. A special advancement mission is now issued.]
[This task: Sell 200 servings of skewers to gamblers within seven days.]
[Designated Location: Entrance of Tiandi Casino, Zizai Street, Hong'an City.]
[Designated time: early midnight to late 1 AM]
That is, from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Lu Wu didn't care about the sales time. He frowned as he stared at the task requirements for a while.
Although she only needs to sell two hundred skewers, based on her past experience, she could achieve that in a day if the business is booming.
However, the system has clearly defined target diners.
Gamblers, two hundred gamblers.
In other words, the purchase of skewers by other people is not counted in her sales performance.
Lu Wu has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the next step is the Foundation Establishment Realm. The system issued this special mission specifically for this purpose.
This is somewhat similar to the trials of heaven and earth that normal cultivators undergo when they advance to a higher realm.
After thinking it through, Lu Wu accepted it well.
She found the location of the Heaven and Earth Casino on Yijietong and discovered that it was a bit far from the City Lord's Mansion.
Lu Wu wasn't in a hurry to go.
The mission doesn't start until three days later, so she still has time.
Therefore, she planned to go back to Xiahe Town. She missed Grandpa Li a bit and also needed to pick up Dahuang.
"Huo Huo, I'll take you to meet a new friend."
Chirp chirp!
The bird doesn't care about new friends; it's happy as long as it can stay with Little Wuwu.
After Lu Wu and Qin Zhan made contact and explained their situation, they boarded the teleportation array back to Xiahe Town.
The world of cultivation is wonderful.
Despite the long distance, I got back in less than half an hour.
The alley where she lived remained quiet, and at the entrance of the courtyard, Big Yellow was lying on the ground doing nothing.
The dog was bored and playing with its paw, occasionally letting out a whimper.
My master is not here. I miss her, I miss her, I miss her.
