Poor Luo Lianjiang, who usually spouts lewd nonsense, can only babble now.
It's true what they say, karma works, and he got his comeuppance eventually.
Fortunately, Ji Kongmeng woke up in time, easing the awkwardness between the client and the woman being prostituted.
Taking advantage of Luo Lianjiang's momentary daze, Ye Wan put the spirit stone back into his hand.
Then he rushed out to have breakfast on the street outside the Immortal Venerable's Mansion.
She can't go hungry even for a single meal, or she'll cause trouble.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ji Kongmeng understood about 70-80% of what was happening.
My senior sister must be flirting with him again.
As a junior, I definitely have to coax him a bit.
After all, they were innocent victims who suffered, and they even healed Ye Wan's eyes.
Ji Kongmeng invited Luo Lianjiang into the house. Luo Lianjiang took the tea that Ji Kongmeng handed him, took a sip, and slowly recovered from his shock.
This tea has a refreshing aroma and invigorates the mind.
"This is Qianyun Tea, isn't it? Brother Kongmeng is from the Southern Border. I thought you would prefer Baili Bamboo Leaf Tea."
That's really bringing up the very thing you shouldn't be talking about.
Ji Kongmeng's expression immediately turned cold, and he lost all interest in coaxing her.
When facing normal people, Luo Lianjiang was quite quick-witted and soon realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Ah, I'm sorry to have brought up your painful memories. I really shouldn't have come here today to ask Brother Ji for help."
Ji Kongmeng grew up in the southern border region and was extremely familiar with its terrain.
Moreover, he is intelligent and solves problems cleanly and efficiently.
Although his cultivation was destroyed, he has already broken through to the next level and can protect himself.
Ji Kongmeng remained calm upon hearing that his hometown was suffering from an insect infestation.
"I'm not interested. Brother Luo, find someone else."
Luo Lianjiang is not one to be easily discouraged, and he will not give up easily just because he has been rejected once.
"The people are suffering, and those who cultivate themselves should do their part. Besides, you were born there, so you must have some compassion for them."
“There is no affection, only hatred. I hate every blade of grass and every tree there.” Ji Kongmeng made no attempt to hide his loathing for the Southern Border.
That place is where he was born and raised, and also where he is scorned and abandoned.
Moreover, Master almost got poisoned by the things there.
Now, he has absolutely no good feelings towards that place.
I hate both people and things.
Ji Kongmeng had already said so much; it would be inappropriate for Luo Lianjiang to continue nagging without understanding the situation.
He has always been a proper person and doesn't like to do things that make things difficult for others.
He dislikes being made difficult by others.
If all else fails, you can find a local mountain dweller familiar with the terrain to act as your guide.
However, if ordinary mountain dwellers encounter monsters and cannot protect themselves, then the requirements for the team members will be even higher.
The Immortal Venerable gave him this task primarily to train him.
It would be pointless to choose a group of highly skilled cultivators to accompany you.
We still need to take a long-term approach.
Ugh, so annoying. I have a brain, but I don't want to use it.
If only Zheng Nansheng's cultivation hadn't been destroyed, Luo Lianjiang would definitely have dragged him down with him.
He's the most suitable person to take the lead.
Meanwhile, Ye Wan went to the morning market stall for a meal.
She learned from yesterday's lesson and paid in advance.
The stall owner, who has been running a steamed bun shop for almost thirty years, had never encountered anything like this before.
He thoughtfully reminded Ye Wan.
"Girl, these buns are big, you can't eat one. I'll wrap up the rest for you."
Ye Wan said, "I want a basket of steamed buns! And a big bowl of noodle soup!"
It would be foolish not to make money when you can. Although the boss thought Ye Wan wouldn't be able to finish it, he still served her steamed buns and noodle soup as instructed.
The steamed buns smelled quite good, and Ye Wan was fairly satisfied with them.
While I was eating, I felt something soft under my feet.
Ye Wan looked down and saw a small dog, no bigger than her palm.
She kindly gave it a whole steamed bun.
But the puppy was too small, with only a mouthful of baby teeth. It took a long time for the bun to break a little bit.
Seeing this, Ye Wan put the bun in her mouth and helped break open the bun in front of the puppy, revealing the meat filling with soup inside.
The rich aroma of meat immediately attracted the dog's attention, and it hurriedly took a bite.
The freshly broken meat filling was still steaming hot, and it ate it too quickly and got burned.
She let out two soft whimpers before slowing down and eating at a leisurely pace.
Ye Wan chuckled twice and patted its little head.
She was enjoying her meal when she overheard people at the next table discussing the insect plague in the Southern Territory.
In the original novel, the Southern Insect Plague was the first task Zheng Kaiyuan assigned to Zheng Nansheng after recognizing his son.
I thought it was a small matter, but I ended up encountering a Tier 5 Iron-Eating Beast in the jungle.
Although the Iron-Eating Beast is a bear-like monster, it is not fierce in appearance and is not very large, weighing no more than 400 jin (approximately 200 kg).
With its round head, round belly, and round belly, it looks incredibly cute when it's asleep.
Its black and white fur makes it ideal for hiding in the jungle, and its deceptive appearance makes it extremely dangerous.
This monster only appears in the bamboo forests of the southern region and generally does not harm people.
However, in the original story, the iron-eating beast was injured and became very wary.
Zheng Nansheng and his group accidentally trespassed into its territory, and it naturally launched a full-scale counterattack.
Of course, the male protagonist has a cheat ability, so no matter how powerful the Iron-Eating Beast is, it still has to be defeated.
After the Iron-Eating Beast was defeated by the male protagonist, it signed a blood pact with him.
Ye Wan has always liked furry things, and she felt a little jealous when she heard that the Immortal Venerable's Mansion was going to send Luo Lianjiang to the Southern Territory.
On what grounds?
He was the first to touch the little white dog in the animal park, so does he have to touch this iron-eating beast first too?
Is it just because he's handsome?
Hmph, if he goes, I'll go too!
After making up her mind, Ye Wan sped up her eating.
"Sister, can I have a steamed bun?"
Ye Wan looked up and saw a dirty little child.
She was about to take a bun from the steamer for him when the shopkeeper suddenly started chasing the boy away.
"Go away, get out of here! You're filthy! Don't disturb the girl's meal! Just looking at you makes me sick!"
The little boy was pushed and stumbled, falling to the ground.
Seeing that Ye Wan already had the steamed buns in her hand, he ran over, snatched the buns, and ran away.
Looking at her empty hands, Ye Wan suddenly felt no longer hungry when she returned to her seat.
She asked the shopkeeper to bring her a paper package so she could take the remaining buns with her.
The shopkeeper, thinking Ye Wan wanted to use the steamed buns for charity, advised her:
"Girl, don't be so kind! If you're so kind, this little beggar will come to my shop every day. How am I supposed to do business then?"
Ye Wan felt that what the boss said made a lot of sense, but it also felt a bit off.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
The shopkeeper said, "Just feed the dogs. There are a lot of stray dogs in the alley to the south. If you want to do a good deed, young lady, just go and feed the dogs!"
It's not for human consumption, but it's for dogs?
Um?
Seeing that Ye Wan still had some doubts, the boss continued:
"People are all like that, they might bite you if you feed them; but if you feed a dog this time, it will wag its tail whenever it sees you, it knows how to be grateful more than a person."
