Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 38 Tiger Girl Wu Qinghe

If there was any sound Li Wushou didn't want to hear, it was definitely this Tiger Girl's voice.

If we were to define this voice further, it would undoubtedly be, "Give me my money back!"

There are many wealthy people in the southern part of the city, and Wu Zhuangyuan is one of them.

Li Wushou had no idea why a storyteller could be so rich.

But the truth is that not only did Wu Zhuangyuan avoid the suffering of having his five senses treated by paying money each time, but he also had extra money to lend to poor kids like Li Wushou who were completely unrelated to him.

This woman was none other than Wu Zhuangyuan's daughter, Hu Niu. Hu Niu didn't actually look like a tiger; on the contrary, she was quite beautiful. However, after being subdued by her, Li Wushou gave her this nickname.

"Haha, it's Qinghe! Have you had breakfast? Come in and sit down!"

Li Wushou chuckled twice and greeted them warmly. As for "Tiger Girl"? Of course, he only dared to mention it in front of the old beggar and Chen Gou'er!
If those two words were uttered today, the other party would twist Li Wushou's head off and use it as a football!

Wu Qinghe crossed her arms, ignoring Li Wushou's pleasantries. "It's already afternoon, why are you still having breakfast?" she asked with a mocking expression, giving Li Wushou, who was dressed in the robes of a high priest, a look of disdain.

"Wow, you really became a high priest! Looks like I'll have to call you High Priest Li from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou waved his hand and said in a slightly exaggerated manner:
"Hey! Look at what you're saying, what kind of relationship do we have? We're getting too distant!"

Wu Qinghe wasn't buying it. Li Wushou was good at playing the fool, saying one thing to one person and another to another!
"Stop it! Pay me back now!"

Li Wushou simply couldn't understand how someone with such a handsome face could utter such cold words!
"I have no money right now!"

"Ok?"

Wu Qinghe raised an eyebrow, stepped into the courtyard, and stood in front of Li Wushou. The two were surprisingly about the same height.

Seeing Wu Qinghe's unfriendly expression, Li Wushou subconsciously shrank his neck, then quickly promised:
"I've only just started my shift. Once I receive my salary, I will definitely pay you back with interest!"

Wu Qinghe did not answer, her bright eyes staring intently at Li Wushou's face, making Li Wushou feel uneasy, fearing that she would suddenly attack him and throw him to the ground!
He's not afraid of being tackled, but he's afraid of losing face!
The old beggar and Chen Gou'er must be grinning from ear to ear right now! What would happen if they got tackled and thrown to the ground again?

"Tell me, how did you catch the eye of the City God?"

"what?"

Li Wushou was momentarily stunned, and only after a moment did he realize what was happening. He then took the opportunity to pour out his grievances.

She recounted to Wu Qinghe the series of events that had taken place during this time, including celebrating her birthday, planting eyes, and sculpting a golden statue. When she got to the pitiful parts, she even choked up a few times while speaking vividly.

Of course, the most important thing is to highlight one core element: poverty! Hopefully, this will dissuade Wu Qinghe from pressing for repayment.

Wu Qinghe frowned slightly, listening carefully, but her face showed no pity for Li Wushou.

"You practice the Yin Refining Technique of a High Priest?"

"Yes!"

Li Wushou nodded in agreement, then suddenly realized! That's right! Now that I've mastered the Divine Official's Yin Refining Technique, even the former High Priest Xiao Panshan is ashamed of his own abilities. Why should I be afraid of this tiger girl?
Thinking this, Li Wushou unconsciously straightened his back.

Wu Qinghe glanced at Li Wushou and then asked, "How are you feeling right now?"

After a moment's thought, Li Wushou solemnly replied, "I feel I have awakened, and now I am terrifyingly strong!"

Wu Qinghe looked puzzled and continued to ask:

"Li Wushou, if the City God doesn't pay your salary, how will you repay your debts?"

"She dares!"

Li Wushou shouted loudly, then looked around and whispered in Wu Qinghe's ear.

"Don't worry, if the City God doesn't pay my salary, I'll just embezzle a little more. I definitely won't fail to pay you back."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qinghe's expression instantly turned strange, her earlobes turned slightly red, and she reached out to push Li Wushou back!

"Why are you sneaking around so close?"

"If I'm about to embezzle, why am I publicly announcing it?"

Li Wushou muttered to himself, somewhat speechless. It wasn't exactly something to be proud of!
Just then, a dangerous thought came to mind. When talking about the shameful things, the past scenes were still vivid in his mind. Now that he had cultivated Yin and become a high priest, should he take this opportunity to avenge his past humiliations?

"Qinghe, since you know about the priest's Yin-refining technique, you should know that I'm different now!"

"Oh? What's the difference?"

"Strong! Just as strong as those Qi cultivators in your father's stories!"

As Li Wushou spoke, a smug look appeared on his face, his eyes fixed on Wu Qinghe, as if he wanted to give her a chance to bow down. If she knew what was good for her, he would forgive her!
Wu Qinghe's smile vanished instantly, as if she suddenly realized something! Did this mean she thought she was capable again?
He glanced at Li Wushou and slowly said:
"Indeed, you are now a high priest, and your status is different!"

Li Wushou raised his neck; this woman was finally going to bow her head!
Then Wu Qinghe continued, "In that case, let's double the interest!"

"what?"

Li Wushou exclaimed in surprise, thinking he had misheard, when a loud roar came to his ears!
"Crack!"

Wu Qinghe lightly raised her hand and punched a large rock in the courtyard, which shattered upon impact!
"Hi~!"

Li Wushou gasped. He had gone to great lengths to collect this stone from the mountain, intending to use it as a millstone, but unfortunately, his family never had any surplus food, so the stone just sat there idle.

She shattered with a single punch? This girl is truly fierce!
"Do you have any opinion?"

Li Wushou quickly shook his head, his back, which had just straightened, leaned forward again, and replied solemnly:

"Reduced interest rate increases are every creditor's right, and I respect that!"

Wu Qinghe looked at Li Wushou, whose attitude had straightened up again, and nodded expressionlessly.

"You're moving to the main city, aren't you?"

"Yes, we should be moving in today. Ugh, I'll definitely pay back the money I owe, don't worry!"

Wu Qinghe rolled her eyes at Li Wushou, then turned and left!

Li Wushou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking as if he was still shaken. After a moment of silence, the room suddenly erupted in laughter.

The old beggar and Chen Gou'er, who had witnessed the whole thing, could no longer help but burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at! Why didn't you dare make a sound just now?"

Li Wushou argued for a moment, then rushed into the house, and a fierce fight ensued.

Wu Qinghe, who was leaving Li Wushou's house, walked briskly and seemed to be in a good mood!

As they walked, they muttered things like "strange" and "no impact."

Soon they arrived at an ordinary house in the southern part of the city. Pushing open the door, they found that the house was not large, but it was extremely clean.

A rather burly man lay on a recliner in the courtyard.

Sunlight streamed down through the ancient trees. The burly man, carrying a gourd of wine, squinted, his beard still stained with a few drops of wine.

This burly man, who resembled a rough and uncouth warrior, was none other than Wu Qinghe's father, Wu Zhuangyuan!
Upon seeing Wu Qinghe return, Wu Zhuangyuan's face lit up with joy, and he sat up from the recliner.

"My dear daughter, you're back!"

"Hmm~ I went to buy groceries!"

Wu Zhuangyuan looked at Wu Qinghe's empty hands and nodded.

"Oh! Got it."

His hand holding the wine gourd tightened unconsciously. He knew where his daughter had gone. Apart from that crazy, eccentric boy, who else in Wufang City had his daughter ever given a second glance?

Judging from the situation last night, it seems this kid really caused all that trouble!

Why be a priest? He deserves to be fawned over by everyone!

But this is for the best, so my daughter should stay away from that boy.

Thinking of this, Scholar Wu was in a great mood and couldn't help but take another sip from the gourd of wine, then comfortably rocked back in his recliner.

But just as Wu Qinghe was about to step into the hall, she suddenly turned around and said:
"I'm tired of living in this southern part of the city, I want to move!"

Wu Zhuangyuan was taken aback: "Tired of living here? Then move! Where do you want to move to?"

"Let's go with Zhengcheng!"

"???"

Thank you so much to the three amazing people, Gao Xiaohuan, Feng Jiegengzi, and I'll just laugh out loud, for your monthly tickets!

Thank you to everyone who has read this far! Wishing you and your family good health!

Remember to turn to the last page!
