Urban Immortal Lord
Chapter 3 White Cloud Village
"Could you lend me two dollars?"
After Xia Tian finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Ruosi somewhat shyly.
Zhou Ruosi was both amused and exasperated by Xia Tian's words, and even felt an urge to go crazy. She was, after all, the owner of a restaurant with assets of millions. Although she was not as wealthy as those big entrepreneurs, she was still a successful businesswoman in the city of M, having started her business after graduating from university in her early twenties.
Now, she was being rejected by a young man who looked like a student of only eighteen or nineteen years old, and instead he asked her to borrow two yuan?
Zhou Ruosi suddenly felt her brain short-circuit, completely unable to understand Xia Tian's thoughts.
"Well, it's like this, I went out for a trip and spent all my money. Now I don't have money for the bus, so I have to walk home."
Xia Tian explained it to him.
Then he looked at Zhou Ruosi with anticipation.
Zhou Ruosi suddenly realized what was going on, reached into her bag, took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to Xia Tian.
Judging by the thickness of these banknotes, there must be at least five thousand.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation; I hope you won't refuse," Zhou Ruosi said.
Looking at such a thick stack of banknotes, it would be a lie to say that Xia Tian wasn't tempted, but he didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he refused, saying, "This is too much. I only need two yuan. I'm the kind of person who doesn't expect anything in return for doing good deeds. I don't need anyone to repay me."
Before obtaining the Immortal Legacy, Xia Tian would have undoubtedly accepted the money without hesitation. Such a large sum would not only supplement the family income but also save him money for his younger sister's new school term.
But now, Xia Tian is not the same person he used to be, or rather, his vision is no longer limited to money.
With his current abilities, Xia Tian is confident that making money will be easy!
In the past, summers were busy, just like everyone else, following a predetermined life path until the end of life...
However, in a sense, Xia Tian can be considered a cultivator, existing in this world in another form of life.
Seeing that Xia Tian so decisively rejected her "little favor," Zhou Ruosi didn't insist anymore and instead said, "Taking the bus is too troublesome. How about I give you a ride? My car is just ahead."
Without waiting for Xia Tian's reply, Zhou Ruosi quickly walked towards the red BMW not far away.
A moment later, the red BMW slowly drove towards Xia Tian. Zhou Ruosi, sitting in the driver's seat, leaned out and said happily to Xia Tian, "Get in."
Xia Tian felt helpless and embarrassed to refuse Zhou Ruosi's kindness any longer, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into the car.
This is a BMW 5 Series. The total cost from the base model to registration was over 50 yuan, making it a mid-to-high-end sedan.
Although Xia Tian doesn't know much about cars, he could tell from the comfort of this BMW that it must be very expensive.
"By the way, buddy, where are you going?"
Zhou Ruosi looked at Xia Tian and asked.
"Call me Xia Tian, let's go to Baiyun Village," Xia Tian said.
"Baiyun Village? What kind of place is that?" Zhou Ruosi paused for a moment, then repeated it to herself, before looking innocently at Xia Tian sitting in the passenger seat.
"Qingshan Town, Baiyun Mountain." Xia Tian thought for a moment and then said, "That's a village on Baiyun Mountain. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
"Qingshan Town, Baiyun Mountain, I know that!"
Zhou Ruosi laughed, then slammed on the gas, instantly increasing the car's speed, and sped off towards the outskirts of M City.
Half an hour later, with Zhou Ruosi speeding, the BMW had already entered Qingshui Town. As soon as it entered the town, it attracted envious glances from the people around it.
"What's the next step?"
Upon entering the town, Zhou Ruosi slowed down and asked Xia Tian for specific directions.
Zhou Ruosi knew Qingshan Town, but she didn't know how to get to Baiyun Mountain.
"After leaving Qingshan Town, it should take about an hour to reach the destination by driving along the mountain road."
Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "However, the road up the mountain is difficult to travel. How about you take me to town and I'll go back by myself?"
Xia Tian didn't want to trouble others, and he was already very grateful that Zhou Ruosi was able to take him to town.
"No, you saved my life, I must take you home."
Upon hearing Xia Tian's answer, Zhou Ruosi decisively refused, and then drove the car along the mountain road.
The mountain road was rugged and bumpy, but the car finally drove deep into the mountains.
A remote village appeared faintly in the summer's view.
This village is where Xia Tian lived for eighteen years since childhood.
The village entrance was too narrow, so Zhou Ruosi parked the BMW on the side of the road and got out of the car with Xia Tian.
"This is Baiyun Village?" Zhou Ruosi asked, looking at Xia Tian with some surprise. She could hardly believe that the young man in front of her would live in such a remote place.
The landscape here could easily be described as a primeval forest.
Xia Tian nodded and said, "Yes, this is where I've lived since I was little. Thank you for bringing me back."
Baiyun Village is still as beautiful as ever.
For Xia Tian, who hadn't been home for a year, everything before her eyes felt both familiar and strange.
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a meal?" Zhou Ruosi asked expectantly.
"Well, there's only wild game in the mountains, I'm afraid you won't be used to it, so let's forget about it," Xia Tian said after a pause.
"It's alright. I run a restaurant in the city and I'm tired of those kinds of food. Wild game is quite good," Zhou Ruosi quickly said. For some reason, she suddenly became curious about the young man in front of her.
Xia Tian thought about it and realized that since the other party had driven all the way to take her home, it would be impolite to refuse.
"Alright, welcome to my home." Xia Tian smiled憨厚ly and then led the way.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of Baiyun Village, we attracted the attention of the villagers.
"Isn't it summer? Is school on break? When did you come back?"
Xia Tian knew the person speaking; Xia Tian had called her Aunt Zhang since she was a child.
Summer smiled and responded to Aunt Zhang's words, then looked down at the old locust tree next to the entrance of Baiyun Village.
"You little rascal, you finally decided to come back, huh? Hahaha."
Under the locust tree, there is an oval stone with a chessboard carved on it.
Three or five elderly men were playing chess under the locust tree. The person speaking was someone Xia Tian knew well.
"Uncle Li, how are you doing? Do you still remember those embarrassing things that happened when you were a child?"
Summer answered with a smile, and scenes from her childhood came to mind.
"The old man is still in good health. You've made something of yourself, the only college student in the whole village. You're the pride of our village."
Grandpa Li stroked his beard, looking very happy.
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian's expression darkened. He had studied hard since childhood and achieved excellent academic results. He was admitted to a key university in W City with a score of 666 in the college entrance examination. Considering Xia Tian's family situation, the school waived his tuition fees for four years.
As for living expenses, they were all pooled together by the villagers.
The reason is simple: Xia Tian is the only college student Baiyun Village has had in a hundred years, and he is the pride of the village!
However, when he went to university and came to live in a big city, the bright neon lights and the hedonistic atmosphere of bars were incredibly tempting for a boy from the mountains. Summer soon began his decadent life.
Especially after meeting her...
