Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 55 A sign of great misfortune
Liu Qing shook his sore arms.

Because his hands had just been transformed, his bones and muscles were still soft, and his skin and flesh were not tough enough. Therefore, the high-frequency labor just now made his hands sore and painful.

The demonic energy trembled slightly, and Liu Qing withdrew his hands and transformed back into his original form of horned boa constrictor.

After nearly half a month of boiling salt, Liu Qing's mouth bag had stored about 140 to 150 kilograms of salt.
Today was my first time setting up a stall, so I only dared to take out 50 kilograms of salt. I was worried that it would rain for several days and I would not be able to cook salt later.

Secondly, they were worried that selling too much at once would cause the price of salt to fall.

At this moment, after crushing the sales of other monster dealers, the salt goods on the stall have already been sold out.

Liu Qing picked up the lotus leaves on the ground, wiped his mouth and swallowed them into his mouth bag.

It was only mid-February, and there were not many lotus leaves as big as this in the Snake Pond. I couldn't afford to waste them, otherwise I would have to go through the trouble of looking for them next time I set up a stall.

The salt was sold out and the lotus leaf stalls were packed up. The river goblins who arrived late cursed a few times and went back in disappointment.

This is because Liu Qing's original form, the horned boa constrictor, is powerful and has long since transformed into a monster. If it were any other ordinary monster, it would probably be beaten half to death by these foolish guys who didn't buy anything.

You can't expect a spirit that lives in water and has never learned the five virtues, four beauties, and three loves to have high quality.

The river goblins dispersed cursing, but one guy still stood in front of the stall.

Liu Qing looked at him with his snake pupils erect, then asked hesitantly, "Are you the catfish who bet on the clam before?"

No wonder Liu Qing is face-blind, because these bearded catfish look almost exactly the same.

The gray-black fish skin is covered with mucus, it has a flat body and tail, a big head and a wide mouth, and many fleshy whiskers around its mouth.

If Dongzi's face blindness was because he was showing off after marrying a beautiful woman, Liu Qing's face blindness was because the other person looked too similar.

The catfish monster struggled to stand, using its flat tail to support itself, and nodded its large head towards Liu Qing three times.
"To answer the great demon master, it is me, the bearded catfish."

Oh, it really is this one. Liu Qing was already impressed by this thing. It was able to creatively introduce the gambling business into the huge Dawan Lake.

Among the merchants, it is indeed a clever monster. I was planning to recruit it, but unexpectedly, it came to me on its own.

thump--

With a splash of water, the catfish suddenly crouched before Liu Qing, its eyes filled with pleading as it shouted:

"Master Demon, please accept me as your little monster and let me serve you as a servant, always at your service."

Liu Qing was delighted, he never thought that he would be so lucky as to have talented people bow down to him?
"Master, you are an expert in the ways of business. You classify salt products, screen your customers, sell them in a novel way, and even created a unique tasting section. I'm deeply impressed by what you've done. I'd like to follow you and learn the ways of business. I hope you'll agree to my request."

Hmm, I see.

It was not because he was impressed by his own domineering spirit, nor was it to curry favor with others, but to learn how to do business.

The fact that the catfish was willing to sell himself into slavery just to learn business shows how much he loves it. Love is the best teacher.

With this kind of determination, you can succeed in anything. Unfortunately, this catfish does not seek the truth, but only loves business.
Well, it just so happens that I have already planned to recruit it as the Shetan Business Ambassador, specializing in selling Shetan salt products.

Liu Qingtian was stationed in the Snake Pond-Xiaolugou water vein, and was considered a prominent demon in the Dawan Lake Water Palace.

How could he keep setting up his stall in person? Having the catfish come to his door was exactly what Liu Qing wanted. "Since you're sincere, and I'm a kind-hearted man, well, I'll agree to your request."

The catfish was overjoyed, its eyes were excited, and it kept lowering its big head, sobbing and calling for the master.

It took a while to calm the catfish down, and after it recovered, Liu Qing asked it to pack up and go to the snake pond with him.

Only then did the catfish realize that the master he had just worshipped was actually one of the giants stationed in the Water Palace. He was shocked and his loyalty soared.

The bearded catfish excitedly dived into the lake to pick up his wife and children. In just an incense stick of time, he swam to Liu Qing with more than ten catfish of various sizes.

This group of catfish, big and small, are the wife, children and parents of the bearded catfish. It is the only one that has transformed into a monster, while the others are ordinary fish.

The two catfish, one male and one female, with black backs, are the parents of the catfish. The ones nestled beside them, with yellow-white bellies, are their wives and children.

The seven or eight small catfish as long as chopsticks following behind its butt are its children.

Coming with his family, this was a true escape, so there was no need to worry about betrayal. Liu Qing nodded in satisfaction and left Dayawan Lake with the catfish family.

On the way, Liu Qing couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Bearded Catfish, Master, I've seen other river goblins and monsters who, after awakening their intelligence, seek wives and concubines from all of them. They don't even see their parents from the chaotic world. Why are you different from them?"

"Master is not making fun of you, but rather admiring your character of not forgetting your wife."

It was true. Among all the river monsters that transformed into spirits after awakening their spirits, except for the bearded catfish, Liu Qing had never seen any that still had the parents, wife, and children from the chaos.

"Master, I am not like them. I only know that it was my wife who first found a rare river water chestnut. She didn't eat it herself, but brought it back for me to eat. That's how I was able to transform into a monster."

"When I was young, my parents worked hard to catch shrimp and crabs, feeding them mostly the good meat while they ate the shells themselves. When I became a father, my youngest son would always gather around me and sit on my lap when I came back from hunting."

"All creatures in the water undergo metamorphosis, either by devouring river treasures, consuming the flesh and blood of spirits, or by the birth of a powerful demon. As for me, the bearded catfish, I was raised by my parents and my wife gave me up, which gave me the good fortune to transform into a spirit."

"I will never forget the upbringing of my parents, I will never abandon my wife, and I will never abandon my own flesh and blood. In this life, I do not seek immortality, but only wish for the constant companionship of my parents, wife, and children."

Liu Qing, who was walking in front, paused when he heard this.

I was really moved by a monster: "Bearded catfish, the master never makes promises, but today I will make an exception for you. In the future, you just work hard, and the master will promise a future for your parents, wife and children!"

The bearded catfish immediately burst into tears of gratitude and swore by the water that he would be loyal to Liu Qing for the rest of his life. If he ever broke his promise, he would be struck by lightning.

Moving forward from east to west, after leaving Dayawan Lake, Liu Qing sprayed out a water chain, wrapped up the bearded catfish family, and waited until they had crawled across a section of dry road before putting them into Xiaolugou, and then led them all the way to Snake Pond.

Just when Liu Qing was halfway through Xiaolugou, the illusory intelligence treasure box in front of his eyes suddenly burst into a strong black light.

It had only been such a short time, but the intelligence box had changed again, and this time it was black, which represented extreme bad luck.

Liu Qing was shocked.
