From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 279 A Distant Guest Visits Today

On the road to Chaoju City.

Yu Shuyang had just passed by Crouching Tiger Ridge and was joking with a little tiger cub. It turned out that this group of tiger spirits were from the same hometown as him, and they were all monsters from Wuzhou.

Amidst the gossip, he suddenly realized something was amiss. When he first left Chaoju City in a carriage, he encountered a group of monsters who blocked the road and robbed people.

It was very strange at the time. After he left the city gate, he fought with the group of monsters for a quarter of an hour. No one left the city, and no one entered the city.

Just by relying on intuition, without having to think about it, one can guess that there must be collusion. The other party must be from Chaoju City, or at least have colluded with the monster in charge of the city gate.

He had always thought so, and later he learned from the fat witch that there was indeed a mastermind who had secretly contacted them. It was the other party who leaked the matter of the zhicao and also sent the news in advance before going out of the city to ambush them.

The blue-headed demon also added a detail, saying that he saw the feet of the demon delivering the letter were the claws of a black tiger.

Yu Shuyang didn't think much about it at the time. After all, this was a demon city with all kinds of monsters. It would be extremely difficult to find out the mastermind behind the scenes with just Black Tiger's foot.

This time, a few casual chats at Wohuling suddenly touched Yu Shuyang's nerves, causing him to suddenly connect all the things.

Outside Chaoju City is Wohu Ridge, where there is a black tiger patrolling the mountain. Not long ago, there was a robbery on the road, and the one who delivered the letter was a black tiger claw.

Moreover, earlier on when he was on the boat to Golden Deer Island, he happened to meet Tiger Stick Demon Master, who was also leading Black Biao. He said that he was the cousin of the Golden Ear Mouse, Red Haired Mouse, and wanted to recruit people to take back his own island.

It seems that this black tiger meets all the requirements. He was encountered on the Ao boat not long ago and wanted to escape after his crime was exposed.

Then he thought of the fact that Hongchi Island was adjacent to Hushan Island. It was obvious that the mastermind behind the scenes had not given up and this time extended his hand from Chaoju Island to Hushan Island.

Could it be that his purpose was still to get Hushan Island? Thinking of this, Yu Shuyang hurriedly took out the flying talisman, wrote down his guess clearly, and gave it to Lao Moji.

If things were really as he guessed, it would be simple. Fu Yangzi was in charge of the island. Next time he went to get the Zhicao, he would see if no one came to rob him, and then he would know whether his guess was true or not.

He was not worried at all about Hushan Island. With Fu Yangzi, a third-grade demon immortal, there was no way anyone would come to cause trouble.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh. In the past, he had done this in order to stabilize the Yu family's situation and resolve the huge pressure brought by the Zhicao business.

Yu Shuyang used two methods. One was to open a herb shop in partnership with Yao Jihua of Dongyi, and use the name of Dongyi to share the profits with the alchemy workshop.

The other one was to threaten Jing Mujie severely, asking him to pay 100,000 incense money as an apology. You know, this is not a small amount of money.

The purpose of not killing the father and son of the Jing family at that time was to use their mouths to say that there was a third-grade demon fairy behind the Yu family. What was more, what Yu Shuyang told Jing Mujie at that time were three third-grade demon cultivators.

In this way, by combining kindness and force, no matter whether it is the people on Yazhou Island who have dealings with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, or the wild monsters that broke out below and broke through to the fifth level to become immortals, they will all know that the Yu family is not to be trifled with.

Judging from all the signs now, the father and son of the Jing family have found a way to solve the problem of the 100,000 incense money without revealing any information about the situation on Hushan Island.

He really didn't expect that this combination of punches actually only delivered one punch, and the other punch was left unfired. But it's a good thing now, as it is a good opportunity to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.

As I thought things through, I sent the flying talisman to Uncle Mo, and when I looked up, I entered Chaoju City, not far from Yujia Noodle House.

Today, Yujia Noodle House should be called a noodle house, but actually it is a business of selling teahouse tiles. It has connected the six restaurants on the left and right sides as well as the opposite door, and renovated them.

As soon as we entered this market, we could hear a lot of noise and a lot more monsters coming in and out. The teahouse at the entrance had changed its facade and reopened.

Yu Shuyang stuck his head out of the door and took a peek. He saw a tea table inside and a stage at the back, where a white-haired mouse was telling a story.

Unexpectedly, Yu Mu moved out the storytelling venue he mentioned, but he didn't know which storyteller to invite. It was not easy to invite him, after all, there were not many people in the human race who practiced magic with their mouths.

"Hey, Master, why are you standing at the door? Come in and have a cup of tea."

The person who spoke was none other than the tiger-bog demon immortal Zhu Banzhang who had not been seen for a long time. Banzhang was now dressed as a wealthy local immortal, holding a sandalwood folding fan in his hand.

"Ban Zhangxian, I can't bear to be called the young master. You are also a shareholder of the noodle shop." Yu Shuyang bowed politely.

"You are a good talker, come to the private room upstairs and try the new Yunwu tea you just sent me. I have run this teahouse for many years.

This is the first time I've encountered such fine tea, the first crop before the Qingming Festival. It's truly a rare and exquisite tea." Ban Zhangxian said as he chuckled, his eyes seemingly speaking as he begged Yu Shuyang for something.

Yu Shuyang was no fool either, he understood immediately and said hurriedly, "Hey, how come you know everything, old man?

I kept that for myself, intending to take it to Qingqiu Island. There are 5,000 acres of tea plantations on Hushan Island, and there will be new tea later."

When he left Hushan Island, he packed two bags of Ganoderma lucidum and two bags of spiritual tea. One bag of Ganoderma lucidum weighed 1.5 million jin, for a total of 3 million jin.

There are about 20,000 jin of spiritual tea in total, and each bag is 10,000 jin. I plan to send one bag to the store to make tea, and take the other bag to Qingqiu Island to give to Yin Chenzi.

Ban Zhangxian dragged Yu Shuyang and the two accompanying boys to the door of the store to prevent them from blocking the monsters coming in and out.

"I have to call you Young Master. The current situation is that your cloud tea has a unique charm. Drinking it regularly can cleanse the body.

Do you know that the spiritual energy here in the East China Sea is impure? After breathing and refining qi, a lot of impurities remain in the body. After breaking through the seventh level of cultivation, the human forms they transform into are all strange.

Now that we have this tea, it can slowly help them cleanse their bodies and get rid of all the bad smells. There are so many young men and women from the fairy families in the city who are waiting for it.

Please feel sorry for me. Right now, I live by counting the leaves of the spiritual tea tree every day, worried that one day I will run out of food and they will smash our teahouse."

At the end of his speech, Ban Zhangxian pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes with his hands, complaining bitterly, just waiting for Yu Shuyang to say something.

However, there was a bandit-like spirit in his eyes. It is said that one pretends to be a pig to eat the tiger, let alone a tiger-pig demon fairy. He has a domineering nature and is ready to rob anyone if he disagrees with him.

"Ban Zhangxian, you can't say that. How about this spiritual tea? I'll give it to you directly?" Yu Shuyang asked tentatively.

He was unsure about the relationship between the teahouse and the noodle shop, and didn't know whether he needed to go to the noodle shop to register for the goods. The last time he delivered the herb and spiritual tea, it was the Wan family who followed the shrimp soldiers to deliver them to the warehouse.

"You can send it to the noodle shop and ask the head shop owner, your mother, that we pick up the tea from the warehouse early that morning.

This way, I can live a more relaxed life and not be hounded every day to buy tea." Ban Zhangxian was satisfied with the result and once again resumed his appearance as a wealthy local, with a face full of the promise of peace and prosperity.

Yu Shuyang cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll send it over first."

After saying goodbye to Ban Zhangxian, he led Wan Jia and Qi Feng towards the noodle shop. The two restaurants were originally neighbors, not far from each other. During the earlier renovation, the entire first floor was opened up, and now that the teahouse was renovated, the exterior walls of the two floors were rebuilt.

There is a cashier on the east side of the noodle shop as you enter it. The centipede demon is using seven or eight hands to calculate the abacus, while the chicken demon is keeping accounts. They are both small shareholders of the noodle shop that has merged with the shop next door.

Seven or eight waiters were busy at the counter, some were getting drinks, some were getting tea, and some were getting snacks. They were very busy running back and forth.

On the west side is a water sign that lists the store’s menu and prices, including the prices of alcohol and drinks.

Yu Shuyang looked around, scanning the lobby on the first floor, but he couldn't find Yu Mu. He couldn't help but wonder, thinking that his mother was usually at the cash box, why wasn't she here today?
"Master, you were looking around as soon as you entered the door. Who are you looking for?" The chicken demon who was keeping accounts couldn't help but ask.

Yu Shuyang smiled and said, "Why isn't my mother in the store today?"

"The boss hitched up his carriage and went out early this morning, saying that he was going to the dock to pick someone up. It seems that your brother-in-law and his family are coming." The centipede monster said this without raising his head while calculating.

Yu Shuyang's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and he said with great delight, "Another pack of Yunwu Tea has arrived. Are they sending it directly to the warehouse?"

The chicken demon and the centipede demon stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked at Yu Shuyang and the two boys behind him, their expressions slightly nervous.

"Young Master, please keep your voice down. These days, the number of people coming to our store to buy tea is almost breaking the roof of our noodle shop." The chicken demon said in a low voice.

"That's right. Because of this, we invited Ban Zhangxian out from the kitchen and asked him to count teacups next door to do business. Only then did things calm down." The centipede demon also said in a pinched throat.

"That's right. Ever since the Yunwu Tea was sold next door, it's hard to even smell it, let alone drink it." The chicken demon said again.

Seeing the two demons singing in unison, Yu Shuyang did not interrupt them, but just listened with his arms crossed. Instead, the last two demons could not continue speaking.

"Young Master, please deliver the tea to the warehouse. The management there is stricter now, and no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave casually."

Yu Shuyang nodded and asked Wan Jia to lead the way. They entered the kitchen from the tea room, bypassed the steaming room and the pastry room, and arrived at the warehouse.

As soon as I entered the warehouse, I saw the Quail Fire Shrimp Soldiers, all holding a snake spear, and their eighth-grade red shell armor was glowing red.

In addition to the eight of them, there are four gibbons whose arms can reach the ground. These gibbons are very tall, looking about 12 feet tall.

The gibbon is in charge of picking up and shipping goods in the warehouse. There are also two bird monsters transformed into humans who are responsible for registering incoming and outgoing goods.

Yu Shuyang took out a Qiankun bag from his body. Since the Qiankun magic tools could not accommodate each other, he put it into the Saoxia Fairy Clothes.

"Wan Jia, please take it over." Yu Shuyang handed the Qiankun bag to Wan Jia.

He then turned to the shrimp soldiers and asked, "Why are they so strict now? But what happened?"

"Young Master, you have never been to the warehouse. It has always been like this, but there have been more troubles recently, so we have to be prepared all the time." A shrimp soldier reported.

Yu Shuyang nodded and asked, "Ban Zhangxian is no longer in the kitchen. Who is in charge of the kitchen now?"

"The kitchen is now ready and in the hands of the four Xiyu guys. We've also invited the Iron-Armed Immortal to take charge." The shrimp soldier responded.

Yu Shuyang nodded thoughtfully. Tiebixian was the owner of the restaurant opposite, and he was from the same clan as the gibbon that was picking up goods from the warehouse.

The last time he came to the noodle shop, he also knew some trivial matters of the noodle shop. The chicken demon and centipede demon on the cash register were both practicing the way of the God of Wealth, and each of them had a demon fairy behind them. They invested in the noodles purely to obtain the resources for their practice.

As for Ban Zhangxian, there is no need to explain him. He has been kind to the Yu family from the very beginning. For this reason, Yu Shuyang suggested that Yu Mu recruit him.

The remaining two are a little different. One is the Iron-Armed Immortal who became an immortal from a gibbon. He has a special relationship with the Mu family. He married the legitimate daughter of a branch of the Mu family and opened up a blessed land on the east coast of Chaoju City.

The remaining other one is from a branch of the Mu family. He is a bird fairy. He never showed up from beginning to end and only let the monsters in the store negotiate with the fish mother.

There are seven or eight bird demons in the restaurant right now. They are all subordinates of this bird fairy. They are responsible for helping him take care of the business and sending him the monthly dividends.

In the past, Tiebixian had a similar attitude to Birdxian, but he would come to the store occasionally to take a look. Unexpectedly, he now comes to the noodle shop to take charge of the kitchen.

"Hasn't the Iron-Armed Immortal been practicing in the blessed land? Why is he coming to the noodle shop now?" Yu Shuyang asked again.

The shrimp soldier looked around, especially at the four gibbons. Seeing that they were still far away, he came over and whispered what had happened.

It turned out that the Iron-armed Immortal and his wife had an only daughter, and now her cultivation was almost at the seventh level. She was about to transform into a human, and she also had to get rid of the impurities in her body, so she had to consult the Fish Mother.

At that time, Yu Mu was worried about this matter. After thinking about it, she decided to follow Yu Shuyang's method, working hard to set up a Shuchang Teahouse and sell 3,000 cups of Yunwu tea every day.

Afterwards, he invited Tiebixian to work in the kitchen, and secretly gave him 200 kilograms of spiritual tea every month, which he would secretly take back for his daughter to drink. In fact, this tea was for Tiebixian to distribute.

As a result, the noodle shop had another demon fairy in charge, and with the relationship of the Mu family behind him, the situation became much quieter for a while. Even if there were people causing trouble, they were only wandering cultivators and wild demons, all of whom were ignorant.

Yu Shuyang laughed out loud when he heard this. Seeing that the Wan family had finished storing the Yunwu tea, they took the two boys away and prepared to go to the door to welcome the fish mother.

Before he could even leave the warehouse, a shrimp soldier came in and said, "Master, the lady and the relatives are in the backyard.

I just passed by the lobby door and heard that you were in the warehouse. Madam asked me to come over and let you know."

"Do you know who is coming? My second brother-in-law or my eighth brother-in-law?" Yu Shuyang asked casually.

"From what Madam said, she came from Zhongzhou, so she shouldn't be a relative from Danhuang Dongtian."

Yu Shuyang understood that it was his second sister and her husband who had come. His second brother-in-law was from the Bai family of hedgehogs. He came to Wuzhou to study medicine in his early years and got to know his second sister.

Led by Wan Jia, Yu Shuyang walked with big strides. After leaving the kitchen, there was a long corridor, and after turning a corner, he arrived at the stable in the backyard.

Shrimp Soldier and his second brother-in-law were moving the gifts under the car, while my second sister and Fish Mother were walking into the house with two one-foot-tall hedgehogs.

The two hedgehogs, covered with white thorns, lay on the ground, twisting and turning as they walked forward, humming as they walked.

"Stupid brother, come here quickly. This is your second sister and two nephews." Mother Yu saw Yu Shuyang coming over and greeted him hurriedly.

"Sister Lan, this is your younger brother, Chun Ge. You haven't met him yet, right? When you married and moved to Zhongzhou, he wasn't even Xiao Liu yet." Yu's mother was both happy and sad.
