Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 438: Three Lifetimes of Fate
"Big Brother, so, we have sold out all the goods from last time?"

"Well, it's not just sold out, the profit is even more than ten times. I have already made the preparations. All we need to do next is to form a complete transportation line. By then, this business will surely become more and more prosperous."

At the table, Xiao Ran took Chongshan's arm, raised his glass, and said to the other junior brothers, "You have all worked hard during this period. When you get the money, you can take out 10,000 to settle down first, and I will continue to purchase goods with the remaining 20,000."

Ten thousand ghost money.

Upon hearing this number, Chongshan's fellow apprentices' eyes sparkled with stars. They could finally live a good life for a while.

"I wonder what goods you are planning to buy this time, sir. If there is anything you need, please let me know."

The ghost merchant's eyes turned red when he heard Xiao Ran talking about the huge profits.

Ten times the profit, what’s the difference between this and robbing money.

As a ghost businessman, how can I not try my best to get involved?

Even if you just buy one share it will be fine.

Xiao Ran had been waiting for him to speak, otherwise he wouldn't have said these things in front of him.

"That's natural. This business can only grow bigger if everyone does it. Once the channels above are opened, we will still have to rely on the boss for the transportation of goods."

As the Amazing Pavilion develops in the future, the more goods there are, the better. But it is impossible for me to come down every time to purchase them.

If the Amazing Tower leaves me, it will be completely paralyzed and unable to continue functioning, and then everything will be meaningless.

So someone has to deliver the goods to Amazing Pavilion continuously.

For this task, Xiao Ran needs someone from a mature caravan to do it, and the ghost merchant in front of him is very suitable.

"This... Sir, this is not a difficult matter. The difficulty lies in the fact that we cannot take the goods out."

When Xiao Ran passed Yinguan before, he saw checkpoints and guards in front of Yinguan, who were checking for smuggled goods.

This is clearly prohibited above.

Otherwise, how could such a lucrative business fall into Xiao Ran's hands? It would have already become a household name long ago.

"That's easy. I'll give you the approval."

Xiao Ran said disapprovingly.

"Approval?"

Gui Shang widened his eyes and looked Xiao Ran up and down, and the expression on his face began to become weird.

Not to mention the ghost merchant, even Chongshan and several other junior brothers had strange expressions.

The originally lively banquet suddenly became quiet.

Chongshan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly pulled Xiao Ran and whispered, "Big Brother, I'm afraid this approval will not work. Although you are a ghost messenger, you..."

Xiao Ran knew what Chongshan meant. The position of Hades Clerk was too low, so it was okay for him to smuggle some private goods.

Approval? This is simply asking ghost merchants to seek death.

This action is no less than what the Nine-Headed Insect said to Benboba: "Go and get rid of Tang Seng and his disciples."

No wonder Gui Shang had such a weird expression on his face. If he hadn't been concerned about his reputation, he would have gotten up and ran away by now.

After all, they just want to do some business with you, not give up their lives.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran understood their concerns: "Ask the waiter to bring paper and pen."

Chongshan and the others didn't understand what Xiao Ran was going to do, but they still got paper and pen as Xiao Ran instructed.

Xiao Ran picked up the pen and wrote four words on it with a flick of his hand.

【Unimpeded】

Then he took a deep breath, and a golden light flashed between his eyebrows, condensing into the shadow of a dragon banner.

Just a shadow emerged.

"Bang!" There was a series of trivial sounds, and Chongshan and others all knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

The ghost merchant even crawled on the ground, looking at Xiao Ran with horror in his eyes.

My mind was blank, and I didn't even dare to have any thoughts at this moment.

As for Chongshan and the others, they felt like they were about to lose their souls at any moment.

It seemed that if Xiao Ran wanted to destroy them, he only needed a thought to send them to the Eighteen Hells, never to be reborn.

A huge fear enveloped the entire restaurant. The other guests in the restaurant didn't even know what was happening. They were frightened by the huge pressure and crawled on the ground, not daring to move.

As soon as Xiao Ran printed the shadow of the dragon banner on the paper, the originally rough yellow paper turned into the color of pure silver and was covered with strange textures.

Xiao Ran nodded in satisfaction, then he calmed down, folded the paper and handed it to the ghost merchant beside him.

"With this piece of paper, there shouldn't be any problem."

Xiao Ran has the power to monitor Yin and Yang, and smuggling goods is well within his authority.

Although doing so may seem like an abuse of power and favoritism, so what?
The underworld doesn't pay me a salary, and my job is obviously not a good one. And they don't allow me to make money to improve my strength?
"No problem, absolutely no problem. My Lord, you are my second parents. If I, Peng Tianju, have any thoughts of being unfaithful to you in the future, I will be condemned to the eighteen hells forever, and I will never be able to return and be reborn."

This ghost businessman is no fool. He thought of the powerful decree of the emperor just before.

They immediately realized that the person in front of them was no longer a small underworld messenger, but a great god in charge of monitoring yin and yang. For little ghosts of their level, this might be the highest level of the underworld they could touch in this lifetime.

This is just like the gangster Gao Qiu back then, who could still sit and play football with you yesterday, and you could still be close to each other at that time, but now he is General Gao, and it is time for you to kneel down and call him godfather while you still have some face.

Seeing that Gui Shang was so clever and set an example, how could Chongshan and his fellow disciples just stand there in a daze?

"Big Brother, from now on we will serve you as our master. You are the head of our sect. If we have any other intentions, we will be stabbed three times and stabbed six times, and our bones will be crushed to ashes. I will leave it to you, Big Brother."

When Chongshan said this, several fellow apprentices behind him shouted, "Greetings to the headmaster, we are willing to help you demolish the house."

Good fellow, I only had the time to eat a meal and I pushed the Yinshan Taoist down. Xiao Ran smiled and stretched out his hand to pull up Gui Shang and Chongshan, and asked all the fellow apprentices to stand up.

Although these junior fellow apprentices were all under the command of Yinshan Taoist, Chunchun somehow became his junior fellow apprentice.

But since my senior brothers have called me, I won’t treat them unfairly.

The most important thing is that I am short of people under my command.

You can't just leave two corpses here to work for you.

What's rare is that Chongshan and the others have been very nice to me before, and they even emptied their family savings to work with me. Just for this reason, I will not treat them unfairly.

"Brother, so you are the Plum Blossom Taoist?"

Chongshan was pulled up by Xiao Ran and looked at Xiao Ran curiously.

"Why, you also know Plum Blossom Taoist?"

"Yes, I heard Master mention it before."

Hearing Chongshan's words, Xiao Ran looked at him curiously.

Chongshan picked up the wine on the table and took a sip before saying, "Master said that Taoist Meihua has extraordinary skills, but..."

"But what? Don't worry, I'm not the Plum Blossom Taoist Master mentioned. I belong to the second generation of Plum Blossom."

Hearing Xiao Ran say this, Chongshan felt relieved: "Master said all of this, we are just listening from the sidelines."

Chongshan whispered, "It is rumored that this person has some relationship with Meng Po. It is unknown what the specific relationship is. Master means that Meng Po and he have been friends for three lifetimes, so they can be considered old lovers."

Xiao Ran curled his lips and squinted his eyes to let Chongshan continue talking. He always loved to hear this gossip.

Unfortunately, the Taoist of Yinshan just said it casually at that time and did not dare to explain it clearly. What Chongshan and the others knew was limited, which made Xiao Ran feel uneasy, but then he felt relieved, which made him very unhappy.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Xiao Ran asked Gui Shang to take Ou Jie's note to the bank to exchange money.

You have to go to the store to make purchases.

The main item purchased was the [Lushi Mask] which had promised to provide Donglongfang with a thousand sets of masks.

Although it is a trick of getting something for nothing, this deal still needs to be done.

The money he had was definitely not enough, but the ghost businessman Peng Tianju said he would make up the rest, just as an investment.

However, when the store owner heard that Xiao Ran wanted to purchase a thousand [Hercules Masks] at once, he also said that he needed time to prepare the goods.

After all, the store had never received such a large order in its life. Even if it took out all the inventory, there were only about 600 masks at most.

For this reason, he even gave Xiao Ran a discount and rounded off the amount.

As for the remaining masks, they can only fall into Xiao Ran’s hands when he comes to Fengdu City next time, or when Xiao Ran completely opens up the line between Miracle Pavilion and Fengdu.

"Six hundred is fine. We originally agreed to pay in installments. This batch of goods can be delivered to Donglongfang."

Xiao Ran thought about it and felt that this number was not bad.

I'm not in a hurry anyway.

After finalizing the deal, Xiao Ran didn't continue shopping.

In fact, there are still quite a few shops in Fengdu, but Xiao Ran really doesn’t have much money left.

The remaining ten thousand ghost money should be used to help Chongshan and the others to settle themselves down.

Ever since they emptied their family savings last time, they have been making do with the butter candles that Xiao Ran gave them before she left.

Now that we are well off, we can finally live a prosperous life.

The next day, Xiao Ran arrived at the gate of Fengdu City with six large boxes.

He didn't let Gui Shang, Chongshan and others come to see him off.

On the one hand, it is unnecessary. On the other hand, I believe that the big monk would not be willing to deal with these little ghosts.

After sitting on the box and waiting for a while, Xiao Ran raised his eyelids, looked up and looked at the battlements on the city wall.

I saw the big monk had arrived at some point and was sitting there waiting for me.

"If you came early, just call me earlier and let me wait for you here for a long time."

The big monk jumped down from the wall and took a look at the six boxes in Xiao Ran's hand: "Just right."

As he spoke, he took out a black package from his sleeve, untied a corner of the package, and waved it at the six boxes. Then he saw that the six large square boxes were all stuffed inside at once.

Then he handed the package in his hand to Xiao Ran: "There is something in it, you can give it to Plum Blossom Taoist when the time comes."

"There's something else? What is it??"

Xiao Ran took the package and took a closer look. He saw that there was a red spider lily embroidered on the black package.

"I don't know. Meng Po asked me to pass it to you. She owes you a big favor. You may need it in the future."

"Meng Po's favor? What can it do?"

Xiao Ran said, and suddenly came to the side of the monk: "I heard that Meng Po and that Plum Blossom Taoist, the two of them..."

Before Xiao Ran could finish, the monk covered Xiao Ran's mouth, looked around, and said, "Donor, please don't talk nonsense."

After that, he lowered his voice and said, "The two of them are doomed to be together for three lifetimes."

"Nate fate?"

"Well, I don't know anything else, but they were sisters in their previous life..."
