Chapter 144 The Chaos in Southeast Asia: Incompatible as Water and Fire

The eldest brother, Chen Nian, has a refined and mature demeanor, unlike a middle-aged man, who seems more like the patriarch of the family. The third brother, Chen Fei, has a lively personality; although he is middle-aged, he still has the heart of a child.

Of the three Chen brothers.

Only Chen Hai fits the identity of a middle-aged man in every way.

Middle-aged weight gain, baldness and hair loss, insomnia, frequent dreams and urination at night, kidney deficiency, gout, chronic leg pain, and thick dark circles under the eyes that look like eyeshadow.

Every time Chen Hai returned from overseas, Lu Yuan suspected that he had learned new makeup techniques from the natives of Southeast Asia.

"A demigod of Dashi Island? Is he a three-legged monkey?"

“I saw it in the capital, being escorted by a hunting team.”

Lu Yuan remembered that the monkey he killed in the capital was the demigod of Da Shi Island.
"what?"

"You've actually seen him before?"

"The demigod of Dashi Island is called the Three-Legged Monkey King, and he is indeed a monkey with three legs."

"He also has a large group of monkeys under his command."

"But it's strange, the natives in Southeast Asia really like to worship these weird and evil gods."

Chen Hai has been a merchant for many years, and Southeast Asia is his main region. He spends most of the year in Southeast Asia and has a very good understanding of the local customs and culture.

“Nanyang is a remote place with scarce resources and a broken heritage. They are weak and have never been taught by the Central Plains. They are full of awe for those mountain spirits and monsters.”

"The main reason is weakness."

“The spirits and monsters are too powerful for them, and they have no choice but to do this for the sake of survival.”

Chen Nian said calmly.

The indigenous people of Southeast Asia are savage, not fools. No one would want to worship an evil god who feeds on people.

"Forget it, leave them alone."

"The situation in Southeast Asia is too chaotic right now. For safety reasons, I have already transferred my business there to someone else."

Chen Hai rubbed his stomach.

Is it messy?

"It's very chaotic."

"What the Annamese did, the Nanyang people are doing too, and even more recklessly."

“Nanyang is different from Annam. No matter how weak Annam was, it had a stable and unified government. Nanyang is different. There is no government in Nanyang. The islands in Nanyang are all savage tribes.”

"Even if the extraordinary people wipe out the savage tribe, the news won't get out."

“Apart from those evil gods who are worshipped, no one cares about the life or death of the savages of Southeast Asia.”

"Nowadays, the foreigners in Southeast Asia are fighting fiercely with the evil gods worshipped by the natives."

Chen Hai then delivered news that shocked everyone.

It turns out that the Annam incident had already occurred.

There's just no news coming out.

As for the battle between the strange men and the evil gods.

It was described as intense, but in reality it was a one-sided massacre.

Compared to the inhabitants of Annam, the inhabitants of Southeast Asia were even worse.

Because the traditions in Southeast Asia are very fragmented, and the wild tribes value their own heritage, they will not easily pass on their tribal traditions to outsiders.

They would certainly not teach it to outsiders.

In addition, the leveling environment for the Nanyang people is also poor. The savages are xenophobic, their quests are difficult to trigger, there are few quests, and leveling up is slow.

This is also one of the reasons why the Southeast Asians and the indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia were irreconcilably opposed.

"Let's not talk about these unlucky things. Whether Southeast Asia lives or dies is none of our business."

"It's the Lunar New Year, so let's talk about auspicious things."

"Haha, okay, let's talk about how you, Chen Fei, can't beat Yiyi."

"Damn it, second brother, are you sick? Can you stop reopening old wounds?"

"So what if we can't beat Yiyi? Who in our family can beat Yiyi?"

"If I can't beat them, do you think your two sons can?"

Chen Fei, feeling his tail had been stepped on, stood up and pointed at Chen Hai, saying defiantly.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't point fingers at me, I'm your brother."

"So what if you're my brother? Does being my brother give you the right to humiliate me?"

"Let me tell you, I, Chen Fei, am a man of some standing."

Chen Fei stood with his hands on his hips, head held high, a look of pride on his face.

"Oh, I understand."

“You, Young Master Chen Fei, are a man of some standing. So, you don’t even want the gifts I brought back from Southeast Asia?” Chen Hai rubbed his stomach and took a small wooden box from the package on the ground.

A rich medicinal aroma wafted through the wooden box and reached everyone's noses.

"what is this?"

"you guess?"

"I won't guess."

"Second brother, stop keeping me in suspense."

Chen Nian offered a reminder.

"Hey, boss, you're getting old, why are you in such a hurry?"

"This is an evergreen tree from Southeast Asia."

"It's good stuff."

Chen Hai opened the wooden box, revealing three sections of straw inside.

These grass stalks, each no more than one centimeter long, are very small, but they have an extremely strong medicinal fragrance.

The immortal tree is not a tree; it is a unique grass found only in Southeast Asia. It is a miraculous grass that grows deep in the sea and grows very slowly, taking three hundred years to grow only one inch.

These three sections in front of me, when put together, are exactly one inch long.

Since it is named the Everlasting Tree, it is naturally related to longevity.

The indigenous people of Southeast Asia would gather the grass and take its stems, then soak them in a special medicinal solution for ten years before they could be made into medicine.

Taking this medicine can extend one's lifespan by one year.

……

"Wow, the Everlasting Wood."

"Second brother, where did you get this? Don't tell me you bought it. Although I've never been to Southeast Asia, I know what kind of people those savages are like."

"Given their nature, there's no way they'd sell the Everlasting Wood."

The third brother, Chen Fei, was greatly surprised.

"Look at what you're saying."

"Am I, Chen Hai, the kind of person who steals from others?"

"I, Chen Hai, am a businessman who values ​​reputation."

"I found this thing."

"Hehe, you found it? I believe you, hehe."

Chen Hai said that Chen Fei couldn't tolerate even a single punctuation mark.

"believe it or not."

"Come, come, Yuan-di, this is for Uncle."

“Take it back to him.”

Chen Hai put a small section in another box and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Oh, thank you, Brother Hai."

"We're family, no need for such polite words."

"By the way, after the New Year, I'll introduce you to a girl."

"They're from your sister-in-law's side."

Chen Hai suddenly said something.

After the New Year, Lu Yuan will be twenty-one years old. If he is twenty-one years old and still doesn't have a wife, people will gossip. As his older brother, how can he let his younger brother remain a bachelor?
"Ahem, hey, second brother, after the New Year, Yuan-di is going to the capital for a blind date. It's someone from the main branch."

Chen Nian coughed a few times, reminding the second son.

"The main branch? What's that? The main branch isn't suitable for Yuan Di."

"They're so delicate, how could they possibly support Yuan Di's physique?"

"Although I am a member of the Chen family and know the principle of keeping wealth within the family, I can't push others into a fire pit. People can really die."

Chen Hai was shocked. "Brother, is that something a human being would say?"
What is Lu Yuan's body type?

Could those delicate women in the main branch really support Lu Yuan?

This could kill someone, bro.

"Ahem, I know, but this was decided by the two old men."

"Besides, a blind date isn't marriage; if it doesn't work out, then forget it."
